Three days later, the ice and snow finally stopped. The passage that was originally opened in the underground base gradually froze into ice due to the influx of wind and snow in the past few days, blocking the passage tightly again.
To go out again, you still need to open the passage.
After the captain arranged for people to clear the passage, he went out to look around the island first. The dark world was full of ice and snow.
Major Wei ordered people to bring up the reserve power supply from the underground base and install lights.
In an instant, the area around the exit of the underground base was illuminated.
Major Wei and Captain Ma had already divided the survivors of the underground base into several groups in advance, and sent them to the ground in groups to clean up the surroundings.
This cleanup was very troublesome. In addition to clearing the ice, we also had to clear the fallen boulders, some of which were impossible to move by manpower.
But now the ground of the island is covered with ice and the giant machinery cannot be started.
When you encounter a relatively large rock that you cannot move, you can only put it here first and clear the other places.
The cleaning route designed by Major Wei was to slowly clean up from the exit of the base in all directions.
This is not a one-day job.
In addition to cleaning the surface of the island, people will be sent to the mothership to help clean and repair the mothership.
The mothership is their base camp and must not be lost at any time.
Major Wei selected a group of people, took their tools and set off personally.
The task of clearing the island was temporarily handed over to Captain Ma.
The Zhou family was also assigned tasks.
Except for Qi Mingyu and Zhong Tiyun, all other young and strong players will play, including Zhou Jianghai.
Except Chunchun, everyone else in Yuxuan's family was assigned tasks.
Only women and the elderly are assigned lighter tasks, while men are assigned heavier tasks.
This is all voluntary labor and there is no subsidy.
But the island is the common home of these survivors, and protecting the island is their responsibility, so no one is unwilling to do it just because they think it is hard work.
Zhou Shuwan, Yuxuan and their father did the same work. After other groups had chiseled away the thick layer of ice on the ground, they were responsible for shoveling small pieces of ice and stones onto a cart, and another group was responsible for transportation.
Their work is relatively easy.
Xue Tao, Xue Dong, Zhi Peng and Mu Mu had more intense tasks and were assigned to teams responsible for chiseling ice, moving boulders and transporting carts respectively.
After experiencing extreme cold, people now actually have some resistance to low temperatures. As long as large areas of naked skin are not exposed to the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius, or are not exposed for too long, they will not get frostbite.
Therefore, when people came up to clean the island, they took off their winter clothes and air-conditioned clothes and put on down jackets or thick cotton clothes.
It was cold when I first came out of the ground, but after working for a while I didn't feel the cold anymore.
Zhou Shuwan and the others also changed into goose down clothes to work.
Except for a short break in the afternoon, they all got up and continued working.
At noon, we returned to the underground base for lunch.
Although it was voluntary labor, it was hard work after all, so the food in the cafeteria at noon was pretty good.
Those members of the Zhou family who were not given relief food could also eat from the big pot.
Zhou Shuwan and his family lined up to get their meals, and then returned to their beds to eat.
Zhong Tiyun felt a little sorry for Zhou Shuwan. Seeing her tired face, she said, "Wanwan, how about I take your shift this afternoon? You can take a break this afternoon and continue working tomorrow!"
With so many people working together to clean up the island, it would probably take half a month or a month.
I'm so tired after just working for an hour. After half a month, I'll be exhausted.
Zhou Shuwan waved her hand and said, "Mom, I just didn't adapt to it at first. Everyone goes through this, and you'll get used to it slowly. It's okay."
Zhong Tiyun wanted to say something but stopped herself, looking at the people around her who were eating in silence, and fell silent.
Yuxuan is also a capable person, but she has been well protected by her brother for so many years. Even when she goes out to work, she does relatively easy jobs. So when she first comes into contact with this high-intensity work, she is also very tired.
When working with team members, you have to grit your teeth and persevere even if you are tired. You can't let yourself affect the work progress of the entire team.
So, Yuxuan was now exhausted, with back pain, but she just gritted her teeth and persevered.
Zhipeng felt very distressed, but there was no better way, so he just put a piece of smoked fish from his bowl into the other person's bowl: "Eat more."
Yuxuan smiled at him and lowered her head to eat.
Qi Mingyu sat next to Zhou Shuwan, who could only see a vague white halo, but still held her hand accurately and whispered, "Can you still hold on?"
"Don't underestimate me." Zhou Shuwan also lowered his voice: "I have done a lot of physical work in the past."
The past she was talking about was things from her previous life.
At that time, she didn't have much supplies and was alone. In order to survive, in addition to going out to look for supplies, she also looked for work in the base. No matter how dirty or tiring the work was, as long as she could get supplies, people would rush to do it.
So it was just some heavy work, and Zhou Shuwan accepted it well, but he still needed to adapt physically.
Qi Mingyu didn't say anything else, but when she put down her dishes and sat back on the bed, his big hands suddenly began to knead her back, shoulders and neck.
His strength was neither too strong nor too weak, and the kneading felt very comfortable.
Zhou Shuwan let out a long sigh.
Qi Mingyu continued to massage her for half an hour, and only stopped when it was time to go back to work.
Zhou Shuwan felt less tired in the afternoon.
When she came back in the evening, she soaked her feet in comfortable hot water and lay on the bed. Qi Mingyu massaged, kneaded and pounded her, and she felt much better.
Zhong Tiyun also helped Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu to massage. Mu Mu's work was much heavier than his sister and father, but he was old after all, and was full of energy, so he didn't feel tired.
Seeing how energetic he was, Zhou Shuwan felt very envious.
Those who were busy on the mother ship at night have also returned.
Their task was also very heavy. They needed to clear away the thick layer of ice surrounding the mothership within just a few days.
They also need to climb to the middle of the mothership with ropes to clean up. In the middle, power tools are difficult to use, so cleaning up the island is much more difficult.
When Major Wei was selecting people, he directly chose young and strong ones, plus a few hundred navy men, to go to the mother ship together.
After one day's work, they only cleared the ice from the small area of the mothership's access cabin.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu went over to ask about Captain Chen's situation.
Major Wei shook his head: "The situation is not good. Captain Chen is still unconscious."
Zhou Shuwan bit her lip and said nothing.
She was silently thinking about what medicines in her own space could Captain Chen use!
But in fact, she recently learned that Captain Chen was injured and had been in a coma because he was too old and his injuries were too severe.
