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

Zhong Tiyun nodded and said, "For this reason, all the residents of the island in the underground base came up to the surface and stayed in the open space on the ground for two days."

"It was extremely unsafe to board the mothership at the time, so we had to go to the open space on the island," Zhou Jianghai explained. "However, it was extremely cold outside, over 70 degrees Celsius below zero. People could still withstand it wearing air-conditioned clothing and cold-weather suits, but after two days, the batteries needed to be replaced, and there weren't enough batteries for so many people to do it simultaneously."

At that time, it was extremely unsafe for people to take refuge on the mother ship.

Because the mothership is too large to stay directly on the island, it is already in a state of being unable to protect itself, so people can only take refuge on the open space on the island.

It is also full of dangers.

At the same time, there was a lot of movement on the ice fields around the island, but it was very quiet on the island.

It was determined that the crustal movement was only on the seabed, and fortunately the island was not involved.

"Although we didn't know what exactly happened on the seabed, Captain Shang ordered everyone to return underground," Zhou Jianghai said. "That's how we endured for so many days."

"There's been a little less activity outside these past few days, and we've been worried about you." Zhong Tiyun sighed heavily after she finished speaking, then looked at the siblings: "Are you two hurt? I can tell from the hull of your fishing boat that it must have been through a lot of danger. Even the bow is tilted. You two only report good news and not bad news, and you're trying to hide it from me!"

Zhou Shuwan couldn't hide it anymore when she heard it, so she hurriedly said, "Mom, it's really nothing. The boat just accidentally capsized while traveling at high speed, and Mumu dislocated his arm while trying to protect me. But I treated him and he recovered, and now he's not hurt at all."

Mu Mu also cooperated by moving his arms and said with a smile: "Yeah, Mom, look at me, nothing's wrong."

Zhong Tiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of blame in her eyes: "You two are such a worry. The boat is already damaged like that, and you're still pretending to be fine."

Zhou Jianghai stood aside, frowning slightly, and said in a low voice: "The ship is damaged. How dangerous is the situation on the ice field?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his eyes solemn. "The collapse of the ice sheet was more serious than we imagined. We were almost trapped several times. However, Major Wei trusted my judgment, and we avoided the most dangerous areas."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun became worried.

"Wanwan, what you mean is..." Zhong Tiyun whispered.

Zhou Shuwan shook her head: "Mom, it's okay, don't worry too much."

In that extremely critical moment, she had no choice but to expose part of herself.

This topic is not suitable for further discussion outside.

Zhou Jianghai interrupted the conversation: "Let's go home and ask your mother to make you some food. You must be hungry when you get back."

Zhou Shuwan smiled with her eyes curved: "Great! When we're outside, Mu Mu and I miss mom's cooking."

For the next half month, the people on the island were busy dealing with these whales.

There are nearly 300 whales, the small ones weigh dozens of tons, and the big ones weigh a hundred tons, which adds up to more than 2000 tons of food.

This is a huge fortune for the more than 5,000 residents on the island.

Zhong Tiyun stood on the shore, watching the busy figures, and couldn't help but sigh: "There is so much food, even if we don't save it, it can feed us for seven or eight years."

Zhou Shuwan looked at the mountain of whale meat, lost in thought.

She knew that the food seemed enough, but storage and preservation were big problems.

Especially since the weather may change from eternal night to daylight in the future and the temperature may rise sharply, how to preserve so much fish meat intact is also a huge challenge.

"Mom, even though there's a lot of food, we can't be too optimistic." Zhou Shuwan said softly, frowning slightly. "But the problems of food spoilage, the combination of vegetables and staple foods, and storage problems caused by weather changes all need to be solved."
