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

The rest of the journey was finally much smoother.

Although they took a long detour, it still took them more than a month to find Major Wei and his group who stayed there.

When they first saw the mountain of whales, almost everyone was stunned.

Major Wei has led his men to hoist all the whales out of the abyss and pile them on a flat surface.

Coupled with the recent ice pellet storms, the whales were tightly wrapped in a thick layer of ice.

At first glance, it looks like a towering iceberg standing majestically above the vast ice field.

It was not until they got closer that the second-in-command and the crew realized that this "iceberg" was actually made up of countless giant whales.

Although they had imagined the scene of hundreds of whales piled together countless times in their minds, they were still deeply shocked by the sight when they saw it with their own eyes.

The second-in-command stood at the bow, speechless for a long time, his eyes fixed on the pile of whales, his lips trembling slightly, obviously with a lot of ups and downs in his heart.

Major Wei had already noticed their arrival.

He led his men on ice skates and skated towards them quickly.

Major Wei's figure appeared light and steady on the ice, and the ice skates under his feet made a slight "crunching" sound as they cut across the ice.

Upon seeing this, the second-in-command hurriedly got off the boat with his men and saluted Major Wei solemnly.

Major Wei's vigilance was very thorough. As soon as he heard the rumbling sound approaching, the remaining personnel were on high alert, fearing that it was a stranger.

The muzzles of countless ships' guns were quietly raised, and their vigilant eyes were fixed on the distance.

It was not until they realized that it was their own ship that they breathed a sigh of relief and laid down their weapons.

Major Wei laughed loudly from a distance, his voice clear and hearty: "Doctor Zhou really lived up to our expectations. He brought the patient back safely!"

On this ice field, compasses and navigation systems are all ineffective, and getting lost is their biggest enemy.

With Zhou Shuwan around, casualties and people's energy consumption can be minimized.

When the first officer heard this, a tired but relieved smile appeared on his face.

He walked forward and shook hands with Major Wei, his tone full of emotion: "Major Wei, you have worked hard."

Major Wei beamed, patting the first officer on the shoulder. "You guys have really worked hard. And Dr. Zhou, thank you so much."

He turned to look at Zhou Shuwan, his tone very serious.

Zhou Shuwan smiled slightly: "This is my responsibility, Major Wei, you are welcome."

Major Wei sighed and then arranged for Zhou Shuwan and the other 300 people to rest.

He also asked people to prepare hot meals so that everyone could discuss how to transport the whale after eating.

Although the contact person has arrived safely, how to transport him back is the most important and difficult thing.

No one can relax.

Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu were arranged to board the original ship, where they ate hot grilled fish and drank a bowl of light kelp soup in the restaurant.

Major Wei then asked someone to find her and go to the hundred-meter-deep abyss where the whales were piled up.

Zhou Shuwan felt a little strange and went over with Mu Mu.

Standing on the edge of the abyss, there is a thick layer of ice under your feet and the cold wind is howling in your ears.

Major Wei pointed to the depths of the 100-meter abyss and asked, "Doctor Zhou, what do you see there?"

Zhou Shuwan was a little confused at first, but when Major Wei handed her the night vision goggles and she looked at them carefully, she suddenly understood.

Perhaps because the ice layer was getting thicker, some whales were too large and sank too deep into the ice layer, so the abyss she saw this time was much deeper than before, at least ten meters deeper.

However, it was this depth of more than ten meters that allowed Major Wei and his team to discover the secrets hidden under the sea.

Among the people who stayed behind, the one with the best hearing suddenly heard the gurgling sound of flowing water below in the dead of night.

After repeated confirmation, he immediately reported it to Major Wei.

Major Wei immediately took people to investigate. Instead of digging down rashly, he used various means and finally determined that there was an undercurrent more than ten meters deep under his feet.

This undercurrent seemed to be unaffected by the cold and flowed happily deep under the sea.

Major Wei turned his gaze to Zhou Shuwan: "Doctor Zhou, what do you think this undercurrent means?"

Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath, as if hearing this news for the first time, and shook his head, his expression extremely solemn. "It could be a sign of rising seabed temperatures, or it could be proof that the ocean hasn't completely frozen over yet. In any case, this undercurrent is a double-edged sword for our survival."

Major Wei nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "That's right. The existence of this undercurrent may change our living environment, but it may also bring new threats. We need to respond with caution."

Zhou Shuwan also nodded. "Major Wei, I agree with you. We need to quickly determine the nature of this undercurrent. It could affect the stability of the ice and even alter the ocean environment in the entire region."

Major Wei pondered for a moment, his eyes firm. "Digging deeper now could damage the ice structure and bring greater risks. So, the day before we leave, we'll collect some surface water samples and give them to the researchers for analysis when we return."

Their fishing boats are completely incomparable to the mother ship, and many things have to wait until they return to be studied by specialized scientific researchers.

Zhou Shuwan nodded in agreement: "This is a safe method."

After the two finished their discussion, Major Wei turned his gaze to the pile of whales not far away, and said with a slightly relaxed tone, "Next, we have to find a way to transport these behemoths back. The giant machinery we brought this time should be of great help."

Zhou Shuwan asked Major Wei about what had happened these days.

Major Wei shook his head and said with deep emotion, "In the past two months, apart from us, we haven't seen a single human being..."

It’s like they are the only ones left alive in the world.

Zhou Shuwan remained silent.

In fact, she has always believed that as long as there is a civil organization led by Xue Wuwen, there must be other people struggling to survive in the deep sea.

However, they are too far away from each other. Due to the obstruction of natural disasters, no one dares to leave their base easily and go to places that are too far away.

That's why they never meet any outsiders for years.

Xue Wuwen and his group were accidentally encountered because of the strong winds and waves caused by the thunderstorm, which swept the destroyer to a very far place.

But there are not so many coincidences in life!

Major Wei just sighed a few times and then started to busy himself with the task of moving the whale.
