Zhou Shuwan's brows suddenly furrowed, and Major Wei knew that she and he were thinking the same thing.

It is so dangerous here now. The seabed crust is moving violently, causing such great noise and harm.

So, what about Hope Island 2? What about that?

If similar ice collapse and iceberg uplift events occur, will they be safe there?

Without Zhou Shuwan's ability to accurately predict safety, where could the residents on the island and the people on the mothership escape to?

Does the collapse and uplift of the ice sheet have any impact on the island?

Thinking of this, everyone was eager to go home.

Major Wei clenched his fingers slightly and looked into the distance with a serious look.

The ice on the sea surface is still breaking, and huge icebergs surge out of the sea from time to time, making thunderous noises.

He whispered, "Doctor Zhou, what do you think of the current situation on Hope Island 2?"

Zhou Shuwan was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

She placed her fingers lightly on the ice, trying to sense the distance.

However, she couldn't even feel a depth of more than 100 meters underground, let alone sense the distant island.

Finally, she sighed softly and said, "The terrain of Hope Island 2 is somewhat different from ours, but the movement of the seabed crust is global, so it's hard to say that they won't be affected."

Major Wei's expression grew even more serious, his brows furrowed deeply. "If there's an ice collapse over there, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish, but everyone understood what he had left unsaid.

Hope Island 2 is their base and their last refuge.

If there is also a crisis there, these people will have nowhere to go!

Zhou Shuwan's expression remained calm, but a subtle worry shone through his eyes. "We can only rush back as soon as possible to see what happened."

Major Wei nodded, then turned and shouted to the crew, "Everyone, get aboard! We're leaving immediately! We must get back to the island as quickly as possible!"

The crew sprang into action, the roar of their engines echoing across the ice.

Although the speed of the ship was still not fast, everyone tried their best and wanted to fly back to the island immediately.

However, the three hundred whales they were towing were so heavy that the ships could not move at full speed.

Major Wei's face became more and more anxious, and he urged the crew to speed up from time to time.

Mu Mu stood beside Zhou Shuwan and asked in a low voice: "Sister, do you think we can still make it in time?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on the distant ice field: "Not sure, but we must hurry."

She closed her eyes slightly.

Dad, Mom, and Brother Xiao Yu...

I just hope they are safe!

Although her face was calm, her heart was trembling slightly...

Like the anxious Major Wei, she was completely confused at this moment.

She was worried that they would be back too late to be of any help.

They were even more worried that coming out this time was a mistake, and that something irreversible had really happened at home, and that their family would be forever...

"sister!"

Suddenly a strong hand held hers tightly.

Only then did Zhou Shuwan realize that his hands were actually trembling slightly.

She was so distracted just now that she didn't notice it at all.

"Mumu..."

"Sister, I believe that good things will come to those who are lucky! Don't worry too much." Mu Mu's eyes were gentle, but her tone was very firm.

Zhou Shuwan slowly calmed himself down, and after a long while, he smiled faintly: "Okay!"

She then looked at Mu Mu with a smile, and said with some sigh: "Mu Mu, you seem to have really grown up!"

Mu Mu smiled slightly: "Sister, I have grown up a long time ago."

"Yeah!" Zhou Shuwan also smiled, and the panic he had just felt faded a little.

Mu Mu knew that she was still worried, and although he was the same, many things could not be solved by worrying all the time.

He then held Zhou Shuwan's hand and kept talking to her. Slowly, Zhou Shuwan finally regained his usual composure.

In the next few days, the fleet traveled day and night.

The crew took turns to rest, but the ship never stopped.

Major Wei would find Zhou Shuwan almost every day to ask whether the route ahead was safe.

Zhou Shuwan also knew his anxious mentality, and always told him what he observed without getting tired of it.

Of course, Major Wei was still very careful about his behavior.

Every time he came to ask about the road conditions ahead, he tried not to attract attention. Even if someone saw him, they would just think he was asking for directions.

He tried to lower his voice as much as possible so that no one else could hear him.

Mu Mu frowned slightly every time, but she also moved aside tactfully and did not participate in their conversation.

A few days ago, there was no problem.

But on the fifth day, Zhou Shuwan suddenly raised his hand to signal Major Wei.

When he came up to them, he whispered, "Major Wei, there's a huge crack ahead. We can't go straight any further."

Major Wei gasped.

He nodded calmly, and when he returned to the front, he immediately picked up the telescope and observed the front carefully.

At first, he saw nothing.

However, after waiting for another half an hour, he indeed saw a bottomless crack in the ice in front of him, which was dozens of meters wide.

He gasped, turned around and ordered: "Ship, turn right and go around the crack!"

The crew quickly followed the order, and the fleet slowly adjusted its direction and bypassed the huge crack.

Everyone looked back with lingering fear, and saw ice blocks falling into the abyss from the cracks from time to time, making a dull roar.

In the following days, the fleet continued to struggle forward on the ice field.

From time to time, huge cracks or icebergs blocked their way, but under Zhou Shuwan's calm guidance, they were always able to avoid the most dangerous areas in time.

However, everyone still couldn't feel at ease.

The sound of collapse could be heard from afar, as if it would spread to their area at any time.

The crew members were extremely nervous and could not rest peacefully at night.

"I always feel that the ice will crack in the next second and we will all fall down..." Major Wei occasionally heard a crew member muttering in a low voice.

He frowned and wanted to scold him, but when he turned around, he saw that the other person's face was pale.

He swallowed back the scolding.

A month later, the fleet finally arrived near the island.

However, the scene before them made everyone gasp.

The originally flat ice field has completely changed its appearance. Huge icebergs rise from the sea, like countless swords piercing the sky, and the ice is covered with deep cracks.

"This... is this still our island?" Mu Mu widened his eyes.

Major Wei's expression was equally solemn. His fingers tightly gripped the telescope as he scanned the surroundings. "The changes are too great. It's impossible to return by the same route."
