Two days later, the ice pellet storm finally passed, the strong winds died down, the mist dissipated, but the biting cold still shrouded this frozen world.
Zhou Shuwan crawled out of the ice cellar and looked at the dark icy world.
Everyone else is busy.
She gently placed her hand on the ice surface which had widened by 20 centimeters.
Fortunately, the ice crack that worried her did not expand further. If it had expanded further, they would have to worry about the collapse of the entire ice layer.
However, there is another bad news.
Not far from the crack, new ice bulges appeared, as if some giant creature deep underground was struggling silently.
Zhou Shuwan tried to check the raised seabed, but it was too deep, so deep that it seemed like an endless abyss.
Her perception ability was greatly reduced in solid matter, and she couldn't see below at all.
Therefore, she had no way of discovering the cause of this strange phenomenon.
On the deck, the crew were busy checking the damage to the ship and removing the thick layer of ice covering the hull.
Zhou Shuwan did not deliberately avoid the raised area, but continued to guide the ship forward according to the original course.
As the ship gradually approached the area, everyone on board widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this... an iceberg?" a crew member muttered to himself, pointing forward with disbelief in his voice.
"How do these icebergs form in just a few days?"
"Did something really happen under the sea?"
"Could it be caused by the movement of the seabed's crust?"
"Or maybe something happened that we don't know about!"
Everyone was talking about it, but no one could come to a conclusion.
Zhou Shuwan also looked forward, only to see that the originally calm ice surface suddenly bulged, as if a huge hand at the bottom of the sea was forcibly pushing the ice up.
The shapes of those icebergs were distorted, as if they were squeezed and pulled by some invisible force, forming ice walls more than ten meters high.
The ice sheet also warped where it meets the sea level, as if it had undergone a silent disaster.
But they, who were almost so close, found nothing.
The second-in-command stood in the cabin with a frown and a serious expression.
He quickly walked over to the crew member in charge of the sonar system and asked in a low voice, "Did the sonar detect anything unusual?"
The crew member shook his head, a hint of confusion in his tone: "No, the sonar system shows that everything is normal under the ice sheet, except... these icebergs."
The second-in-command paced back and forth, a deep frown on his face.
He suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu, who were standing there looking at the iceberg with serious expressions. He strode over and said in a calm but worried voice, "Doctors Zhou, do you have any ideas?"
Mu Mu shook her head, frowning slightly: "I have no idea at all, these icebergs appeared too quietly..."
Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly, his gaze still fixed on the twisted ice ahead. His tone was calm but thoughtful, "I suspect the violent movement of the seabed's crust is what caused these ice layers to be forcibly pushed up, forming icebergs. However, this is just a guess."
The first officer nodded, obviously agreeing with her.
In fact, this is the only explanation that can best explain these huge changes that occurred within a few days.
He pondered for a moment and finally gave the order: "Detour! We must go around these icebergs and cannot take the risk of moving forward."
After the order was given, the crew took immediate action and the ship began to slowly adjust its course.
The ship slowly circled, and everyone looked up at the towering icebergs, feeling awe for nature in their hearts.
Those icebergs stand quietly on the ice field like giants' tombstones, as if silently warning mankind that the wrath of nature is far beyond human power to contend with.
The giant machine followed beside, making a rumbling sound.
Coupled with the howling wind, it was not quiet on the boat.
The first officer raised his voice slightly and sighed, "People used to say that man can conquer nature. But when we truly reach the end of the world, we realize that nature only needs one outburst of anger, and we humans are powerless to resist."
He was a little depressed, which was rare for him, but he also knew that he was now the commander-in-chief of several ships. Once he showed these negative emotions, the other crew members would also feel depressed and desperate.
He immediately suppressed his frustration and said solemnly to Zhou Shuwan, "Doctor Zhou, we'll trouble you after we change course."
They went around a crack and then around these huge icebergs. They had to find someone who knew the direction to lead them in the right direction.
Otherwise, there are ice fields everywhere, and a wrong step will lead to a huge loss.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Okay, don't worry."
After the deputy captain left, Mu Mu stood beside Zhou Shuwan, her eyes still fixed on the icebergs. "Sister, are these icebergs really caused by the movement of the seabed crust?"
Zhou Shuwan's expression was filled with deep worry. "Maybe, maybe not. The appearance of these icebergs actually indicates a very serious problem."
She turned to look at Mu Mu, her expression very serious: "These icebergs and cracks can appear silently at any time, but we are completely unaware of them. Deep down in the sea, huge changes must have taken place!"
"But with our current capabilities, we can't detect anything." Mu Mu understood the second half of her sentence.
He couldn't help but scratch his hair in annoyance: "How long will God torture us?"
At this time, not only her, but even Zhou Shuwan was deeply confused.
She used to be very confident that no matter what happened after the end of the world, she would take her family and move forward unswervingly.
But now she was very skeptical, could they make it to the end?
Will the apocalypse ever end?
Will this scarred mother earth be able to repair itself and return to its former beautiful appearance?
The ship continued to move slowly across the ice field, bypassing the icebergs.
These icebergs stretch for at least thirty or forty kilometers.
The period when the iceberg rose should have been when they were hiding in the ice cellar to avoid the ice particle storm, but none of them heard any movement.
Zhou Shuwan had sensed the surrounding environment before and was sure that there was no iceberg at that time.
After walking for a whole day, they finally got out of the range of the iceberg.
When people looked at the endless ice field in front of them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When there was an empty ice field in front of them, they were lonely and afraid. However, when these ice fields turned into tall and oppressive icebergs, they were even more afraid than before.
This is the fragility of human beings!
Whether facing the wilderness or the mountains, as long as it is unknown, one will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
