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

He ordered the crew to start clearing ice from the ship to prevent the ice from being too thick and affecting navigation.

"Everyone, please be careful. The ice is very slippery, so be steady." Major Wei reminded loudly.

The crew members, holding ice axes, carefully cleared the ice off the hull.

Ice chips continued to peel off the hull, making crisp "cracking" sounds.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also joined the cleanup team.

Qi Mingyu held the ice pick in his hand, his movements steady and powerful, each strike splitting a large piece of ice.

Zhou Shuwan looked at him with admiration. She stood beside him and helped to clear the broken ice aside.

"You are quite experienced." Zhou Shuwan teased with a smile.

Qi Mingyu smiled slightly, his tone relaxed: "When I was training in the army, I often had to carry out missions in extreme environments, so I developed these skills a long time ago."

As they cleaned the hull, the two men chatted in low voices, as if the harsh ice field had become a little warmer because of their tacit understanding.

After the ice on the hull was cleared, Major Wei ordered the crew to rest for a while.

The crew members went into the cabin, took out their thermos cups, and drank some warm water to dispel the coldness in their bodies.

Qi Mingyu pretended to smell something strange and looked under the ice with a flashlight.

"what happened?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head. "Nothing. I just smelled a strong fishy smell. Ever since I lost my sight, my sense of smell has become particularly acute. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

He said it casually.

Major Wei suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked someone to bring a flashlight with higher power.

The crew member responded and soon returned with a high-intensity flashlight.

Major Wei took the flashlight, turned on the switch, and a dazzling beam of light shot directly into the depths of the ice.

The light penetrated the ice and revealed the scene beneath it—a hazy, dark shadow.

"Is that... a fish?" A crew member couldn't help but move closer, with disbelief in his tone.

"It seems so!" Another crew member also looked over, his voice full of excitement: "It looks like a school of frozen fish!"

Major Wei did not respond immediately. He asked someone to bring more high-powered flashlights, turned them on and pointed them at the ice.

He squatted down and adjusted the beam to a more precise angle.

The shadows under the ice gradually became clearer. It was indeed a school of fish, densely packed and frozen in the ice in different postures, as if time had stopped for them.

At first glance, it looks like there are a lot of fish!

"It's really fish!" Major Wei stood up, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "So many fish, enough for us to replenish a lot of supplies."

Upon hearing this, the crew members gathered around, all very excited, and started discussing it in a lively manner.

"How many pounds does this weigh? It looks like a lot!"

"If we can catch all these fish, our reserve problem will be solved!"

"But the ice is so thick, how can we fish it out? It's going to take a lot of effort, right?"

Major Wei listened to the crew's discussion and his expression gradually became serious.

He turned around, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "No matter how difficult it is, we must try. No matter how thick the ice is, we must break it."

After he finished speaking, he immediately ordered: "Everyone, prepare the ice-breaking tools! We have to catch these fish as soon as possible!"

The crew members acted quickly, some went to get ice axes, some prepared ropes and net bags, and others began to check the icebreaking equipment on the ship.

The entire deck suddenly became busy, and the sound of ice axes hitting the ice broke the silence of the ice field.

Everything is ready, and Major Wei has already commanded the crew to start breaking the ice.

The ice axe hit the ice, making a crisp "dong dong" sound and sending ice chips flying everywhere, but in the face of such a thick ice layer, progress seemed extremely slow.

"Speed ​​up! Don't stop!" Major Wei's voice echoed across the ice field.

The crew gritted their teeth and sped up their movements, swinging their ice axes more vigorously.

Under the constant hammering, cracks finally began to appear on the ice.

"There's progress!" a crew member shouted excitedly, "The ice is starting to crack!"

Major Wei walked over, squatted down, carefully observed the cracks in the ice, and nodded with satisfaction: "Keep going, don't let up!"

Power tools also come in handy.

With continuous hammering and cutting, the cracks in the ice gradually expanded, and finally, with the efforts of the crew, they dug out a large ice cellar.

He jumped into the ice cellar and continued digging. Finally, a huge block of ice was pried open, revealing a school of fish under the ice.

"Quick! Pull it out!" Major Wei gave the order immediately.

This is not easy to get.

You have to pull out the fish one by one.

The frozen fish is slippery all over and will slide far away if you hold it in your hand.

The crew members stood at the crack under the ice cellar and carefully picked up the frozen fish one by one.

"This one weighs almost three pounds!" A crew member weighed the fish in his hand and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"This one is not small either, probably weighs four pounds!" another crew member echoed.

The crew members were busy, and fish were caught on deck and piled up into a small hill.

Major Wei looked at the scene before him, and a smile finally appeared on his face: "Well done! Keep going, try to catch as much as possible!"

Zhou Shuwan kept touching the ice with his hands, carefully paying attention to the surrounding environment.

Seeing that the crack under the ice cellar was getting bigger and bigger and had a tendency to expand forward, her heart tightened.

She hurriedly instructed Major Wei: "Captain Wei, we have to tie up the crew with ropes to prevent them from falling into the cracks if the ice breaks!"

If you fall into such a deep sea, we don’t know how long it will take to break the ice and rescue you!

I don’t know if people can wait until that time!

Major Wei was startled and hurriedly told the crew to be careful. He also asked them to tie the ropes on their winter clothes in front and back. Finally, he arranged for more than a dozen crew members to stand on the ice and hold the ropes tightly.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stood aside, watching the busy figures of the crew, feeling a sense of relief but also a hint of worry in their hearts.

Just hope everything goes well!

This method of fishing is very time-consuming and energy-consuming, but as long as it can increase supplies, no one is afraid of any hard work.

It took two hours before all the hundreds of fish were caught.

The lowest schools of fish are in a deeper layer of ice.

There are dozens of fish here, how can we bear to give up.

The crew members standing in the ice cellar continued to dig carefully, and the ice picks hit the ice again and again, making a dull "dong dong" sound.

Ice chips flew everywhere, and the crew's winter clothes were soon covered with tiny ice particles, which flickered faintly under the light.

Zhou Shuwan stood aside, staring at the crack under the ice, frowning slightly.

Major Wei looked at them worriedly, and at the same time urged the crew to be extra careful.

Zhou Shuwan suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"
