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

Everyone heard a very obvious "crack" and a crack came from under the ice.

Zhou Shuwan immediately turned to look at Major Wei: "Captain Wei, the ice is loosening and the cracks are widening. We must stop immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Major Wei immediately raised his hand to signal the crew to stop and carefully exit the ice cellar: "Everyone, evacuate the ice cellar immediately! The ice is unstable and may collapse at any time!"

Upon hearing the order, the crew members quickly put down their tools and evacuated out of the ice cellar along the ropes.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu retreated to a safe area, their eyes still fixed on the ice.

Zhou Shuwan placed his hand lightly on the ice, feeling the vibration coming from the ice, and felt increasingly uneasy.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from under the ice, the cracks expanded instantly, the edge of the ice cellar began to collapse, and ice blocks fell into the bottomless black hole.

Two crew members who were evacuating slipped and fell suddenly. Fortunately, their ropes were connected to other crew members, and others immediately rushed over, grabbed their arms and legs, and pulled them up with all their might.

"Hurry! Catch them!" Major Wei shouted loudly, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

The crew tried their best and finally pulled up their two fallen companions.

However, the edge of the ice hole continued to collapse, and the sound of ice breaking could be heard one after another.

"Retreat quickly! The ice cellar is about to collapse!" Major Wei gave the order again, and the crew quickly evacuated the ice cellar and retreated to the deck.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stood on the deck, looking towards the ice cellar, their hearts filled with worry.

The ice cellar has completely collapsed, and the black hole under the ice is bottomless, like a huge mouth that can swallow everything at any time.

"This is troublesome..." Major Wei murmured in a low voice, frowning.

Zhou Shuwan whispered, "Captain Wei, the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the crew. The ice is unstable, and we must evacuate this area immediately."

Major Wei nodded and immediately ordered: "Everyone prepare to evacuate!"

The crew acted quickly, checked the condition of the hull, cleared the ice on the deck, and after confirming that everything was normal, the hull slowly started and sailed away from the collapsed ice cellar area.

The ship glided across the ice at a very fast speed, but the crew members were still in a heavy mood.

The thrilling scene just now left everyone with lingering fears, and the black hole under the ice seemed to still linger in their minds.

They were all still surprised at first, and they would observe the situation under the ice more in the future, as they might find schools of fish frozen in the ice like this.

Then, their trip this time will not be in vain.

However, before they could be happy for a few minutes, another accident happened.

Actually, it’s not a surprise.

Large schools of fish usually live in the sea at a depth of seven to eight meters or more than ten meters.

Especially after the eternal night, the surface temperature becomes lower, and in order to survive, fish will actively lower their living altitude in the sea.

Therefore, breaking the ice to fish at such a depth is inherently risky.

Everyone evacuated the area where the ice cellar collapsed, but their mood was still heavy and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

Major Wei stood on the deck, staring into the distance with a frown on his face.

He took a deep breath, turned and walked towards Zhou Shuwan, his tone solemn: "What happened just now, thanks to your reminder, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his face also full of fear: "Fortunately, I saw that the crack was gradually expanding, otherwise it would have been very dangerous."

Qi Mingyu changed the subject and asked, "Now that we've evacuated the danger zone, what should we do next?"

Major Wei pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Let's continue heading east. Doctor Zhou's sense of direction has always been accurate. We can't waste any more time."

The second-in-command also spoke up: "Although we didn't catch all the fish this time, at least we found a new resource point. In the future, we can look for similar fish schools based on the ice conditions."

Major Wei nodded. "Yes, this experience was thrilling, but it also gave us new ideas. There might actually be a lot of resources under this endless ice field. However, next time we must be more careful and not take risks again."

The ship continued to slide forward, the ice surface gradually became flat, and the sailing speed increased a lot.

The crew began to move the fish from the deck into the cabin for freezing.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also joined the observation team.

These fish that have just been "fished" from under the ice are not big in size, mostly between two and four pounds, and are dark gray in color. Because they have been frozen for a long time, the fish meat appears particularly firm.

Perhaps it is the cold environment that allows these small fish to store thick fat. After thawing, they feel plump and quite tempting.

At this time, a crew member couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "How long will it take for us to eat so many fish?"

Another crew member responded with a smile, "It'll take at least a month! This is fresh fish! It should taste good!"

The cabin was filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, completely different from the tension and depression in the ice cellar before.

The harvest was about 500 fish, less than 2,000 kilograms. Although it was not as big as the big fish caught before, it was enough for more than 300 people to eat for more than a month. It was undoubtedly a huge supplement.

However, Major Wei remained cautious.

He worries that the fish may contain unknown toxins.

He originally wanted to try it himself, but the first officer immediately stopped him.

"Major Wei, you are responsible for the safety of two fishing boats. You must not take any risks!" The second-in-command said firmly. He volunteered, "Let me try it."

The chef simply grilled a fish, and the second-in-command only ate a small piece of fish the size of a palm. Everyone held their breath and waited nervously.

An hour passed, and the second-in-command showed no signs of discomfort. A relaxed smile appeared on his face: "It should be fine! Eat without worry!"

Suddenly, there was a warm cheer in the cabin.

Major Wei finally felt relieved.

He ordered: "Starting tomorrow, some of the smoked fish and canned chicken in the daily meals will be replaced with fresh fish, which can be used to make fish soup or grilled."

This is undoubtedly the best reward for everyone's hard work and also an encouragement to everyone.

The crew were all very happy.

In the following days, everyone kept a close eye on the movements beneath the ice, hoping to discover more schools of fish.

This undoubtedly greatly slowed down the fishing boats, but no one complained.

Being able to obtain rich rewards is more important than anything else.

However, they never encountered any more schools of fish in the next seven or eight days.

But they were also very lucky. During this period, they only experienced two snowstorms and did not encounter any ice storms. They were able to survive safely by hiding in the cabin.

There is no need to go through the trouble of digging ice cellars for people to take shelter in.
