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

That night, everyone fell asleep exhausted.

The next day, after another busy day, they pulled up more than a dozen large whales. But before they could celebrate, another blizzard arrived.

The blizzard came without warning. The wind on the ice field, which had been relatively steady, suddenly intensified. The strong wind carried snowflakes and ice particles, like a sharp blade, cutting everyone's face.

Zhou Shuwan stood on the deck, looking at the white storm gradually approaching in the distance, his brows furrowed.

She turned to Qi Mingyu beside her and whispered, "Something's wrong with this snowstorm. Something might happen."

Qi Mingyu said nothing more. He glanced around and saw the crew busy packing up their tools. He pushed Zhou Shuwan towards the cabin and said, "You go back to the cabin first. I'll go check on the situation."

Zhou Shuwan nodded, but felt vaguely uneasy.

Suddenly, several screams were heard from the direction of the whale group.

And the white storm had just swept there.

Everyone was shocked and confused as to what was going on.

And in the abyss a hundred meters deep where the whale group was, it turned out that when the storm suddenly came, people were unable to dodge and were swept far away by the storm.

One of the soldiers who was closest to the abyss was directly swept to the cliff, with a bottomless ice cliff under his feet.

Amid the crowd's exclamations, Major Wei rushed over, as swift as a cheetah, grabbed the soldier's arm, and pulled him back from the brink of life and death.

"Pack up your things and return to the ship immediately!" Major Wei's voice was almost drowned out by the strong wind, but the crew members reacted quickly and began to pack up tools such as pulleys and iron cables in preparation for evacuation.

These are non-renewable resources, which are extremely precious in the end times and must not be discarded.

Moreover, the storm was so strong that any damage or loss would greatly affect their subsequent progress.

Moreover, the carcasses of several whales were still left there, and their heavy bodies looked particularly conspicuous in the blizzard.

A few soldiers were reluctant to let it go, and lowered their heads, eager to try to move it back to the fishing boat.

But in a hurry, how could they pull an object weighing a hundred tons at once?

Everyone was blown to and fro by the storm!

Major Wei gritted his teeth and shouted, "Send the pulley back! Leave the whale where it is! We'll come back after the blizzard passes!"

The crew then dropped it, quickly disassembled the pulley, loaded it into a cart, and then ran towards the ship with difficulty against the strong wind.

Zhou Shuwan stood at the cabin door, his eyes closely following Qi Mingyu's figure.

In the blurred vision, even with night vision goggles, it is not very clear.

I could only vaguely see him joining the returning team while running, lowering his head to help them push the cart forward.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, almost blowing people off their feet.

Zhou Shuwan's hands gripped the door frame tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

She saw Qi Mingyu's figure swaying in the wind and snow, and her heart became more and more anxious.

Finally, everyone was back on the boat.

The temperature inside the cabin was much higher than outside. The crew members took off their heavy air-conditioning and cold-proof clothes, their faces full of fatigue and relief at surviving the disaster.

Zhou Shuwan walked to Qi Mingyu's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head and said calmly, "It's okay, it's just that the wind was too strong and I almost couldn't stand."

Zhou Shuwan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Major Wei's voice: "Is everyone here?"

The second-in-command quickly counted the number of people and nodded, "Everyone is here."

Major Wei's expression remained solemn. He stood by the porthole, looking out at the increasingly violent snowstorm. He said in a deep voice, "It seems this isn't just any snowstorm; it's very likely to develop into an ice storm."

Zhou Shuwan frowned when he heard this.

In fact, she had just guessed that this snowstorm would turn into an ice pellet storm!

Not only she and Major Wei, many crew members had already guessed it.

They are now more familiar with the natural disaster of ice pellet storms and can roughly guess what kind of blizzard will cause the occurrence of ice pellet storms.

Qi Mingyu turned to Major Wei and said, "Captain Wei, we need to dig out the underground ice cellar immediately and use boiling point alloy to protect the fishing boat."

Major Wei nodded and quickly ordered: "Deputy Captain, call the roll and have the crew members who just came aboard get back on board and start digging the ice cellar!"

Qi Mingyu frowned, "So we need to dig out the underground ice cellar immediately. Wanwan, you stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll go help!"

Now one more person means more strength. Qi Mingyu didn't want to hide here and watch other soldiers risk their lives.

Zhou Shuwan didn't stop him, but with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Be careful."

Qi Mingyu patted the back of her hand gently and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will."

Inside the cabin, the crew had just taken a breath when they had to put on their heavy coats again and prepare to face the blizzard outside again.

Zhou Shuwan stood at the cabin door, watching Qi Mingyu's figure gradually disappear in the wind and snow, silently praying for safety in his heart.

Excavating the ice cellar was not easy, especially in such bad weather.

The crew members held ice axes and struck the ice again and again, carving deep holes in the hard ice.

Ice chips danced in the air like tiny diamonds, then were swept away by the strong wind and disappeared in the vast snow and wind.

Because the blizzard is so severe, the white vortex can completely sweep people away.

So a rope was locked around everyone's waist, fixed back and forth, and finally secured to the fishing boat.

Major Wei stood aside, giving orders with a serious expression. His body, which had turned a little pale due to the wind and snow, trembled slightly in the cold wind, but it did not affect his sonorous and powerful voice at all!

"Speed ​​up! The ice pellet storm could come at any moment!"

Two hours later, the ice cellar was finally dug.

When everyone entered the ice cellar, they saw a fishing boat wrapped in boiling point alloy above their heads.

People waited in silence.

Finally, more than an hour later, the expected ice pellet storm finally arrived.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Dull impact sounds came from above, like huge hailstones hitting the ice surface, shaking the ice cellar so much that it seemed to tremble slightly.

Everyone in the cabin held their breath unconsciously, listening to the terrifying sound.

In the darkness, Zhou Shuwan snuggled up to Qi Mingyu, their hands tightly clasped.

Some people are worried about the whales stranded on the ice and the group of whales in the abyss hundreds of meters deep, which they finally dug out after spending days and nights and expending all their energy.

At this time, there is no protection at all and it is completely exposed to the ice particle storm!

Such a violent impact would definitely damage the whales' bodies, but they had no way to stop it.
