Qi Mingyu raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the cup.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if trying to capture the outline of the cup.

The halo in front of my eyes was still hazy, but the slightly brighter arc around the edge of the cup seemed different from the other halos.

"It seems... it looks a little round." Qi Mingyu said in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

When the Zhou family heard this, they all smiled with joy.

Although Qi Mingyu's eyesight has not fully recovered, being able to see blurry outlines is already a huge improvement.

"It seems that acupuncture is working." Zhou Shuwan said with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction. "That's how Chinese medicine is. It takes a long time to take effect, but every step is useful."

When everything around him became quiet, Zhou Shuwan sat next to Qi Mingyu and looked at him.

Qi Mingyu seemed to have just recovered from the shock, his face showing surprise, disbelief, and confusion, his expression was very complicated.

Zhou Shuwan held his hand, and he immediately held hers in return. After a long pause, he spoke: "Wanwan..."

Zhou Shuwan felt the strength coming from his fingertips, and a warm current surged in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but feel hot again.

"I'm here," she whispered back, her voice soft but firm.

Qi Mingyu's breathing quickened slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled, as if he was suppressing his inner emotions.

His vision was still blurry, but he tried to look in Zhou Shuwan's direction, his brows slightly furrowed, as if trying to capture her outline.

"Wanwan, actually... I've always been afraid that I'll become a burden to you." His voice was a little hoarse.

Zhou Shuwan's heart trembled suddenly, and she hugged him tightly, her voice trembling: "I have never been afraid that you will become a burden to me, I am only afraid that my medical skills are not good enough and I can't cure your eyes..."

Qi Mingyu was slightly stunned.

He had never heard Zhou Shuwan say this before. She had always been strong and independent, and rarely showed her vulnerable side in front of him.

At this moment, hearing her express such concerns in person, I felt both moved and distressed.

He hugged her even tighter: "Wanwan, thank you for your hard work these days..."

He is the man of the family, and he should be the one standing in front of Wanwan to protect her from the wind and rain.

But because he was injured, everything he was supposed to do was done by Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu.

"It's not hard. We are a family, and there's no need to be so polite!" Zhou Shuwan said softly.

She is not a weak person and usually has her own opinions.

The two people have very similar personalities, neither of them is the type to be ostentatious or high-profile. When they get along with each other, they are both gentle and affectionate, not the kind that is earth-shaking and passionate.

Therefore, Zhou Shuwan rarely spoke to him in this almost coquettish tone.

Qi Mingyu hugged him even tighter.

His heart was filled with peace of mind and stability, as if at this moment, although he was in the end times full of dangers, all his fears and anxieties were dispelled.

He lowered his head and buried his face in her hair. He took a deep breath and smelled the faint medicinal fragrance on her body, which made his heart feel more peaceful.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, and the world around them seemed to disappear, leaving only each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. All the hardships and dangers were blocked outside. There were only the two of them, snuggling together and keeping each other warm.

Qi Mingyu's family decided not to tell anyone about it until his eyes healed.

So, after Major Wei moved the survivors here, he saw Qi Mingyu standing beside him. Meeting his confused eyes, he sighed softly in his heart, but still walked forward to greet him, his voice as calm as possible, without revealing any pity or regret.

Qi Mingyu greeted him with a normal expression, then asked about the situation on the mothership: "Is the mothership seriously damaged?"

Major Wei sighed and briefly explained the mothership's situation. "It's completely immobile now. We can only wait for the snowstorm to subside and for crews to clear the ice before we can assess the damage to the hull. The ship's internal electrical system is damaged, but when we arrived, Vice Captain Shang had already arranged for repairs."

After listening to this, Qi Mingyu nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "I think this ice particle storm will continue."

Major Wei said nothing, but his expression became more solemn.

What Qi Mingyu was worried about was exactly what all of them were worried about.

In fact, they had experienced thunderstorm disasters before, and did not take the ice pellet storm seriously at first.

Whether it was the extreme cold period at the beginning or the subsequent thunderstorm disaster, they were all disasters on a large scale!

However, no one expected that the ice pellet storm would cause such great damage!

And now, the third super ice pellet storm has just occurred.

It will only happen more times in the future.

If the Hui people could cause such large-scale damage, how could their population of only a few thousand people survive unscathed?

The wind and snow outside are getting stronger and stronger. Even if we want to shovel ice and clear the boulders on the island now, it is not a good time.

So, after the temporary medical team treated the wounds of the injured, the survivors all settled down temporarily in the underground base.

Major Wei and Captain Ma are the highest-ranking personnel in the underground base, and they are responsible for the operation of the underground base.

On the third day of the raging snowstorm, the ice particles still showed no signs of stopping. The entire island was covered with thick ice and snow, like a dead ice tomb.

The survivors of the underground base have long been accustomed to this harsh environment, but as time goes by, an oppressive atmosphere gradually spreads among the crowd.

"When will this snowstorm stop?" a survivor couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"Don't worry, there will always be a time to stop." Major Wei happened to be nearby, so he said in a calm tone, "The most important thing now is to maintain your attitude and not let your emotions affect everyone else."

The survivors nodded one after another. Although they were still uneasy, Major Wei's words gave them some comfort.
