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

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

The sky of eternal night is already very dark, but because there are ice fields everywhere, this layer of ice and snow adds a touch of white to the dark night.

So, when the sky gets darker, people can feel it.

Qi Mingyu's brows suddenly frowned and he looked up at the sky.

In the distant sky, a grayish-white cloud was approaching rapidly, and tiny ice particles could be vaguely seen flashing in the cloud.

"It's an ice pellet storm!" he shouted.

Major Wei immediately gave orders and the crew took quick action.

They had tried it several times before and their movements were skillful and quick.

The excavation of the ice cellar was carried out in an orderly manner, with the crew holding tools and the fuel generator making a deafening roar.

Soon, they carved out two ice cellars on the ice.

There were nearly three hundred of them, and digging an ice cellar would require an enormous amount of energy.

Moreover, it is not known whether the ice cellar in the sea can withstand so many people.

So, they needed to open two cellars.

A fishing boat opens up one.

Zhou Shuwan and his team followed the first fishing boat.

Soon, the ice cellar was dug. Although the space inside was small, it was big enough to accommodate all of them.

A blanket was laid in the ice cellar to make it less slippery, and people climbed down one by one.

The crew fastened boiling point alloy plates to key areas of the hull to ensure it could withstand the coming ice pellet storm.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also joined the action.

They and other crew members moved detection instruments and other important equipment into the ice cellar.

"Everyone, move faster!" Major Wei's voice echoed across the ship. His tone was steady, carrying a hint of unquestionable command: "The ice pellet storm is coming soon!"

The crew quickened their efforts, moving the last few pieces of important equipment into the ice cellar.

Just when everything was ready, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from outside, followed by an ice particle storm sweeping in.

The hull shook violently, and ice particles hit the hull like bullets, making dense "bang bang" sounds, as if countless fists were hitting the metal shell.

"The boiling point alloy plate is indeed effective!" a crew member whispered, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Zhou Shuwan sat in a corner of the ice cellar. She could feel the movement outside. The sound of ice particles hitting the hull seemed to hit her heart every time.

Qi Mingyu sat beside her, holding her hand tightly with a little force on his fingertips.

His eyes were fixed on the top of the ice cellar, as if he could see the storm outside through the thick ice.

Neither of them spoke, but each other's body temperature and breathing gave each other silent support.

The temperature in the ice cellar gradually dropped, and the coldness seeped up from the ground.

But they can only rely on the temperature of air-conditioned clothes to survive such cold.

Time seemed to stretch out in the ice cellar, and the sound of ice particles colliding could still be heard.

Major Wei had a small bottle of canned chicken and a pickled country egg distributed.

Although it is a country egg, due to the incomplete seasoning after the apocalypse, the taste of this country egg is far from that before the apocalypse, but it is already a rare delicacy.

For a moment, people didn't care about the ice storm outside, but took small bites of their delicious country eggs.

Major Wei was also eating an egg, and he joked with his familiar subordinates, "Major, look at the way you hold this egg, it's like you're holding a nugget of gold!"

The others burst into laughter.

This is actually military camp life.

Although the discipline is strict, it is not boring and is full of warmth everywhere.

Major Wei swallowed the last bite of his country egg and cursed with a smile: "Look, none of you are holding me up like I'm a gold nugget and making fun of me! I haven't had an egg in ages!"

Before the end of the world, who would care about eggs!

This sentence made everyone feel a little depressed.

Finally, the second-in-command cheered up: "Come on, let's all have a drink with water! Damn it, in the past, who would have thought we'd have such an experience! Everyone hiding in the ice cellar, eating meat and drinking wine, with huge hailstones overhead! What a pleasure!"

"That's it, come on, drink!"

Everyone raised their bottles and took a big sip!

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other, smiled, and raised their bottles as well.

There was a can of chicken and country eggs as a base, and everyone was very full.

Judging from the movement of the ice pellet storm above, it doesn't seem to be over soon.

It was difficult for them to stay warm in the ice cellar, as they were worried that the ice underneath was not frozen solid enough and would melt once the temperature rose.

Everyone will be in trouble then!

So, everyone sat there in their air-conditioned clothes, trying to fall asleep.

Qi Mingyu was on duty last night, so Zhou Shuwan let him go to bed first today, and he would be on duty for a while before going to bed.

Qi Mingyu argued with her for a while, but couldn't win, so he had to agree.

Zhou Shuwan watched him close his eyes, then looked at the other people in the cellar; most of them were also asleep.

Only the person on night duty was left to carefully observe the movements above.

She carefully placed her hand on the ice and felt the outside carefully.

As soon as Zhou Shuwan's hand touched the ice, she felt an extremely strong vibration from the ice, as if countless tiny needles were constantly hitting her palm.

The sound of ice particles hitting the hull and the ice surface was still dense and heavy, like countless stones falling from the sky, hitting the metal and ice, making a heart-pounding "bang bang" sound.

She narrowed her eyes slightly to judge whether the ice storm outside had weakened.

However, the shaking of the ice continued, showing no signs of abating.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that the hull did not suffer too much damage because it was protected by boiling point alloy.

It shouldn't affect their travel.

Zhou Shuwan felt slightly relieved.

She withdrew her hand and slowly fell asleep sitting there.

The next day, she was awakened by the sounds of people talking and walking.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she felt was still the deafening sound of ice particles hitting the ground outside.

It’s so strange, how could I fall asleep with such loud noise?

Qi Mingyu had already woken up and was sitting beside Major Wei, talking in a low voice. He was holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand and drawing something on the ground.

Half of his mind was on Zhou Shuwan. As soon as she moved, he immediately looked over, met her eyes, and slowly smiled: "Awake?"

Zhou Shuwan stretched his stiff and numb body and walked over: "What are you doing?"

"We are discussing which direction to go after the ice pellet storm stops." Qi Mingyu replied.

On the stool next to him was a half-empty can of food and a country egg. He took them and handed them to Zhou Shuwan: "Captain Wei said today that each of us will have half a can of food in the morning and evening, and a can of chicken or smoked fish at noon. Let's open one can at a time."
