However, due to his outstanding performance and various considerations from his superiors, he was eventually selected as a member of the mothership fleet.

A year ago, when he was rescuing someone, a wooden beam fell down on him and hit him on the back of the head. He vomited blood and was unconscious for a long time. When he woke up, he could not see.

When the emergency department diagnosed him, they also said that he had blood clots on the back of his head, which probably affected his optic nerve.

After Zhou Shuwan gave him acupuncture for several days, he said that his headache had improved.

Since it works, just stick with it.

A few days later, a major incident occurred on the mother ship, shocking the entire fleet.

After much consideration, Captain Chen felt that he was now disabled and no longer suitable to lead the fleet.

So the captain's position was to be given to Vice Captain Shang. Of course, Vice Captain Shang refused and refused several times. Later, Captain Chen did not know what he had secretly discussed with him.

Deputy Captain Shang finally agreed.

On that day, they held a simple handover ceremony on the mother ship.

It was a gloomy night, and the atmosphere in the mothership's command room was heavy and solemn.

Captain Chen sat in a wheelchair, his weather-beaten face full of years and vicissitudes.

The amputation of his legs made his movements difficult and also made his originally sharp eyes look a little more tired.

Deputy Captain Shang stood beside him with a complicated expression.

The surrounding area was filled with fleet officers, all with serious expressions.

The ceremony was simple, with no flowery rhetoric or impassioned speeches. Captain Chen spoke in a calm, slightly hoarse voice, "Deputy Captain Shang, the future of the fleet is in your hands. Remember, protecting our survivors is our common goal."

Although his voice is low, it is full of power, like a solid rock, making people feel the sense of responsibility that has accumulated over the years.

Deputy Captain Shang straightened his back, saluted, and said firmly: "Please rest assured, Captain, I will definitely not let you down and lead the fleet to a better future!"

After the ceremony, Deputy Captain Shang immediately explained the future arrangements to Captain Chen.

"Captain, you are very important to the entire fleet. Even after your retirement, the fleet will still need your advice from time to time. Your office and residence remain unchanged."

Captain Chen nodded and did not refuse.

This was something the two of them had discussed before.

Moreover, there is a deeper reason why he is willing to abdicate.

Since the injury, his physical condition has deteriorated. Not only was his leg amputated, but other parts of his body were also seriously injured, causing him great pain.

His memory loss prevented him from commanding the fleet as clearly as before.

He vaguely realized that he was no longer capable of fulfilling the responsibility of captain, and that Deputy Captain Shang, his comrade who had fought side by side with him for many years, was more than ten years younger than him. He was stronger than him in energy, physical strength and memory, so he was undoubtedly the best successor.

Deputy Captain Shang is better than me in every aspect.

After the ceremony, Deputy Captain Shang, no, it was now Captain Shang, came to Captain Chen's room.

Vice Captain Shang held up an exquisite wooden box. "Captain, this is a wooden box I had carved. It contains the medals and honors you've received over the years. I think you should keep them well."

These medals and honors were borrowed from him by Captain Shang a few days ago, but he didn't expect that he did this for this purpose.

Captain Chen slowly reached out and gently stroked the surface of the wooden box, feeling the texture of the wood with his fingertips, as if touching the glorious days of the past.

He exhaled slowly: "Okay, thank you, Lao Shang."

Vice Captain Shang looked at Captain Chen with respect. "Captain, your contribution to the fleet is unmatched. Even if you are no longer captain, your significance to the fleet remains irreplaceable."

Captain Chen looked at him and smiled slowly: "Okay, I've been nursing it for a few days now, it's time to take out the good wine you sent me and have a drink!"

His wound hasn't healed yet.

Deputy Captain Shang showed hesitation, but he also clearly saw the loneliness between the other party's eyebrows. He felt very uncomfortable, so he did not refuse: "Okay!"

Under the dim light, with the sea breeze blowing outside the window, the two people clinked their glasses together and said, "Come on, cheers!"

"May the apocalypse end soon and peace come soon!"

"Haha, yes!"

Captain Shang's first important task after taking office was to bring about another silent snowstorm.

This blizzard came so suddenly that the sky seemed to be torn open, and large flakes of snow poured down, instantly dyeing the ground silver-white.

The silver needle in Zhou Shuwan's hand was still firmly inserted into the soldier's acupuncture point, as if the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with her.

Mu Mu stood by the window, frowning slightly, looking through the glass at the snowflakes outside that were getting heavier and heavier. She then looked at her sister who was concentrating on acupuncture, moved her lips, but ultimately did not speak.

After the blizzard, there is a high probability that an ice storm will come. He wants to take this opportunity to go back to the underground base with his sister.

However, the timing is very unfortunate. The acupuncture action must not be stopped, otherwise it will cause the opposite result.

Zhou Shuwan heard the noise outside and without even looking up, he ordered Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, find the light and keep it handy in case of a power outage!"

Her fingers still moved nimbly among the silver needles, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, which she wiped away with her sleeves.

"Okay!" Mu Mu responded, turned around, took out a spare lamp from the cabinet in the corner, and placed it on the table next to Zhou Shuwan.

"And over there with Yuxuan, the hall is quite crowded. If the situation gets serious and everyone moves here, you can go find her and ask her to come and hide with us!" Zhou Shuwan continued, without a trace of panic in his tone.

"it is good!"

Mu Mu saw that her elder sister was at ease, doing acupuncture seriously while taking every aspect of what would happen next into consideration. She felt both admiration and self-awareness in her heart.

His sister always managed to stay calm in the most critical moments. This kind of calmness and composure was something he could never learn.

Although he has experienced a lot more now than before, he is still very immature compared to his sister and brother-in-law.

He secretly clenched his fists. He would be the adult of the family in the future, and he would have to think more carefully about everything! He couldn't always rely on his sister and brother-in-law to lead the family.

Time passed minute by minute, and the blizzard showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it got heavier and heavier, almost drowning the entire world.

The blizzard has turned into a super ice pellet storm.

This time the ice particles were like small hailstones, each the size of a stone. The storm was so strong that when the ice particles hit the ground, they could almost make a crater.

When it hit the hull of the mothership, that area immediately became pitted.
