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

Her breathing was a little rapid, and her eyes looked straight into the distance, as if she had penetrated the thick ice and saw an incredible scene.

Qi Mingyu pulled her out of the cockpit.

After avoiding everyone's sight, he whispered, "What did you see?"

Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath, and the sound almost came out of his throat: "Whales... one after another, all whales..."

They were frozen deep in the ice, more than three hundred of them!

The largest one is estimated to weigh more than 100 tons, and the smallest one is at least 30 to 40 tons!

They were like giant beasts trapped in the ice, motionless.

The scene was extremely shocking, especially after seeing it with his own eyes, Zhou Shuwan has been stuck in that shocking and tragic scene until now.

Qi Mingyu's eyes flashed with shock, but he quickly calmed down and lowered his voice: "Where is the exact location?"

Zhou Shuwan regained his composure and pointed to the front of the ship. "Under the ice directly in front of us, the depth is about 120 to 170 meters. They are frozen to death, with no signs of life at all."

Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment, his brow furrowed. "The ice is between 120 and 170 meters deep. It's not easy to break through. Besides, we almost got into trouble while breaking the ice to fish before, so the risk this time will be even greater."

Zhou Shuwan nodded. "Yes, the risk is indeed great, but the rewards are also huge. The number and size of the whales are enough to meet the material needs of our small island and the thousands of people on the mother ship for a long time."

Furthermore, these whales are well-preserved by being frozen in ice, and their meat should not have deteriorated.”

Zhou Shuwan whispered, and couldn't help but feel grateful for his luck.

This trip was really not in vain!

If it weren't for luck, Zhou Shuwan might not have discovered such a large group of whales.

Because her general exploration range is tens of meters deep under the sea.

Today, on a whim, I decided to explore deep into the seabed.

This group of whales probably began to flee when the temperature on the seabed dropped suddenly, but ultimately they could not escape the speed of the sea freezing.

The biggest problem now is how to tell Major Wei that there is such a large group of dead whales ahead!

They must never reveal the secrets of space.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other and read a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

They did not rush to speak, but chose to observe the situation around them calmly.

The ship continued to glide eastward. The ice surface was flat, and the searchlight beam drew a faint light track on the dark ice field.

About half an hour later, Major Wei gave the order to rest.

Because it was a rare clear night for them, and there were no huge glaciers or cracks around, it was very suitable for getting off the boat.

The crew members who had been stuck on the ship for a day got off the ship, stretched their muscles on the ice, and breathed the cold but fresh air.

Zhou Shuwan also got off the boat, but just stood there quietly, as if waiting for something silently.

Qi Mingyu followed several familiar sailors off the ship, pretending to walk around casually, occasionally looking down at the ice.

"This layer of ice looks quite solid." A sailor patted the ice surface and said to Qi Mingyu with a smile.

Qi Mingyu nodded, his eyes vaguely scanning the depths of the ice, and said in a relaxed tone: "Yes, I hope we can find more fish resources, like last time."

They now make it a habit to check for ice sheets under the sea every time they disembark.

Everyone chatted while shining their flashlights downwards.

Major Wei joined them, casually directing the beam of his flashlight deeper into the ice.

The beam of light penetrated the ice, vaguely illuminating some blurry shadows.

Suddenly, his eyes became focused and his brows furrowed slightly: "There seems to be something down there..."

It's just that the light is too dark and I can't see clearly.

The group walked forward along the ice for about fifty meters. Major Wei squatted down again and aimed the flashlight beam at the ice.

This time, the shadows under the ice were clearer, and a large black outline could be vaguely seen, densely packed and extending into the distance.

"This...is this a school of fish?" The sailor widened his eyes, his voice filled with disbelief.

Major Wei's expression also turned serious. He stood up and glanced at the few people: "It seems we have discovered something incredible."

Qi Mingyu spoke at the right moment: "Major Wei, this school of fish is quite large, but the ice is too thick, so it might not be easy to catch them."

Major Wei nodded, his eyes determined. "No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. The purpose of this voyage is to find more resources for the island. Now that we have found them, we can't miss them."

He immediately ordered the crew to prepare icebreaking tools and sent someone to notify other crew members on the ship.

Soon, the crew members took action and ice axes, ropes, electric saws and other tools were quickly moved to the ice surface.

Qi Mingyu had already come to Zhou Shuwan's side and asked in a low voice, "Can you sense the stability of the ice? Will it suddenly collapse like last time?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head. "We haven't found any signs of instability yet. But the ice is too deep, so we can't let our guard down. Breaking the ice this time is much more difficult than last time, so we must be extra cautious."

Qi Mingyu nodded and looked solemnly at the group of people who broke the ice.

Because the whale group is located deep below the sea level, it is not very clear to see it with the naked eye. You can only see very large shadows.

Everyone was just very excited at this time, thinking that they had found more fish, and did not realize that they were stepping on a school of whales.

Major Wei stood aside and said: "Everyone, be careful. The ice is thick, so be steady. Pay attention to safety when breaking the ice, and don't act alone!"

The crew members nodded and began to work together.

The icebreaking work did not go smoothly. The ice was too thick and each strike could only make a small hole.

But the crew did not give up. Instead, they sped up and took turns to fight.

From time to time, someone would remind us: "Don't be anxious, be steady! The ice is cracking, everyone be careful!"

As the icebreaking operation progressed, a channel was gradually opened in the ice.

The crew's movements became slower and slower, and they took every step carefully, fearing that it would cause the ice to collapse.

As they went deeper, the scene beneath the ice gradually became clearer.

"This... this is..." A crew member's voice was filled with obvious shock.

Major Wei walked over quickly and followed the crew member's gaze.

Under the ice, there was a group of huge whales, huge in size and astonishing in number.

Each whale is frozen in the ice, in a different posture, as if time has stopped for them.

The shock and tragedy made everyone stand still for a moment.
