Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

The ice boat slowly sailed away from the familiar island, and the roar of the engine seemed particularly dull on the ice.

The sound of friction between the hull and the ice surface was fine and dense, as if countless tiny ice particles were squeezing each other.

Zhou Shuwan stood in the cockpit, looking outside through the thick bulletproof glass.

The ice surface was not smooth, but full of cracks and depressions. The ice boat carefully bypassed these obstacles and was not moving very fast.

Qi Mingyu stood beside her, his hands lightly supporting the cabin wall, his eyes fixed intently on the front.

The captain of the fishing boat was an old acquaintance of Zhou Shuwan and his friends, Major Wei.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stayed in the cockpit so that they could correct the course at any time.

After the ship was running normally, Major Wei took the time to come to where they were sitting.

This was Qi Mingyu's first time going out to sea since he regained his eyesight.

Major Wei remembered that he hadn't congratulated the other party properly yet, so he walked over with a bright smile on his face: "Captain Qi, your eyesight has recovered well! I haven't even said congratulations yet!"

As he spoke, he patted Qi Mingyu's shoulder, his eyes full of relief.

Qi Mingyu smiled slightly and stood up: "Thank you for your concern, Major Wei. I will rely on your care during this voyage."

Major Wei smiled and waved his hand: "We are no strangers. I feel embarrassed by your polite words."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Shuwan with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Doctor Zhou, I've been curious before, how do you determine the direction in this icy and snowy place?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the ice ahead. "Actually, there's no special equipment. It's probably just intuition. I've had a good sense of direction since I was a child. I don't need to remember directions specifically; I can tell which way to go!"

Major Wei nodded thoughtfully, his tone filled with admiration: "This is indeed a talent, which most people can't envy."

He didn't mean anything else, he was just curious.

After he finished speaking, he sighed again, his tone becoming somewhat heavy. "To be honest, I'm actually under a lot of pressure going out to sea this time. Two ships, nearly three hundred people, and the people sent by our superiors are all the best from our mother ship! If anything goes wrong, I can't bear the responsibility. But with you, a natural navigator, by my side, I feel a lot more at ease."

Zhou Shuwan looked at Major Wei with a firm gaze. "Major Wei, in the face of natural disasters, the power of an individual is indeed very small. All I can do is do my best to ensure everyone's safety."

Upon hearing this, Major Wei's expression became more touching, and he nodded solemnly: "You are right, thank you very much."

The ice boat continued to move forward on the ice, and time passed by minute by minute. The temperature outside the boat was frighteningly low, with a wind howling at over 70 degrees below zero. Even through the thick hull, the biting cold could still be felt.

The heating system in the cabin was running at full power, but even so, the temperature in the air was still so low that people couldn't help shivering.

Everyone was wearing air-conditioned clothing and cold-proof clothing, only taking off their masks and keeping them at hand.

Just in case of any emergency, exposing your head and face to air over 70 degrees below zero is not fun!

In fact, it’s not that they don’t wear masks for the sake of convenience.

This is because wearing a mask, air-conditioning clothing and cold-proof clothing must produce oxygen, which requires a large amount of stored electricity.

Resources are limited now, so we should avoid wasting electricity if we can.

So, everyone took off their masks tacitly.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's masks were also placed nearby for easy access.

They talked in low voices while observing the surrounding environment. When it was time to eat, everyone was given a small bottle of warm canned chicken and a piece of compressed biscuit.

This can of chicken is made from chickens raised on the mothership. After being compressed, it can be preserved for a long time.

It is very suitable as dry food for people going out to sea.

However, canned chicken is much more expensive than fish, and the mother ship is usually reluctant to distribute this kind of supplies.

The current group of fishing teams going out to sea are more like suicide squads.

That's why the mother ship made up its mind and distributed a batch of canned chicken, pickled eggs, duck eggs, etc. as their dry food.

It can be considered another form of compensation!

After taxiing for seven or eight hours, Major Wei gave the order to rest in place.

The crew acted quickly, checking the condition of the ship, arranging night watchmen, and paying special attention to weather changes.

In such an extreme environment, any negligence may lead to disaster.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu didn't have to be on night duty, so they rested in the cockpit.

Qi Mingyu took out two warm sleeping bags from his backpack and handed one to Zhou Shuwan: "You don't need to take off your air-conditioned clothes, just get in and sleep."

"it is good!"

"You go to sleep first, I'll stay awake for a while."

Years of extreme conditions have taught him not to put his hopes on others.

Zhou Shuwan took the sleeping bag but shook his head: "Your eyes have just recovered, don't get too tired, let's take turns keeping watch."

Qi Mingyu said firmly, "I'm fine. You should rest first. The things you are responsible for are much more important. You can't do without rest!"

Seeing Zhou Shuwan was about to say something, he said again: "Listen to me!"

Seeing his firm attitude, Zhou Shuwan said nothing more, crawled into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes.

Qi Mingyu sat aside, looking through the window at the dark night sky outside.

Occasionally, the wind would blow up a snowflake on the ice, making it particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

It was not until the second half of the night that Qi Mingyu crawled into his sleeping bag to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the ice boat started again and slowly moved forward along the ice.

The ice field ahead is still boundless, as if it will never end.

Qi Mingyu once secretly asked Zhou Shuwan about the situation under the sea.

Zhou Shuwan said in a low voice with a serious expression, "The seabed is like it's been frozen for hundreds of years. There's not a single trace of living creatures!"

"It seems that it will be very difficult for us to find food to replenish our food!"

Zhou Shuwanku gave a bitter smile: "Yes, if at the end of life, all living things become extinct and only humans are left, how can we survive!"

The loneliness of having the whole world disappear and only yourself left is enough to drive a person crazy!

Qi Mingyu gently held her hand and whispered, "It's okay, Wanwan, don't think too much! No matter what we have to face next, we will go through it hand in hand, step by step!"

He looked into Zhou Shuwan's eyes with a very gentle look: "You told me this, have you forgotten?"

He was talking about how when he lost his sight and faced a disaster, he could only passively allow others to take care of him. At that time, his mentality collapsed. It was Zhou Shuwan who held him and said that he would lead him out of the darkness step by step...

It was this sentence that gave him strength and allowed him to persevere until now!

Looking back on that time now, it seemed like an experience even darker than this eternal night. Zhou Shuwan looked at him and couldn't help but reach out and touch his slightly stubbled cheek, smiling gently.
