The air was filled with a biting chill, and occasional crackling sounds could be heard from the ice field, as if some giant monster was chewing the land.

Zhou Shuwan stood on the edge of the island, her eyes sweeping over the icebergs and cracks that could barely be discerned in the darkness. Her brows furrowed slightly, her expression solemn.

In the crowd, some people were sobbing softly, some were looking around blankly, and more people were silent, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock they had just experienced.

"Did you see the two captains escape just now?" A suppressed crying voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

The speaker was a slightly younger woman, her face still showing the embarrassment and fear of escaping, and her eyes were full of hope, as if she wanted to get an answer from the silence around her.

However, no one answered him. Some people in the crowd lowered their heads, avoiding her gaze; others just shook their heads, their expressions gloomy.

The escape just now was too chaotic. Everyone was only concerned about themselves. Who had the energy to look at others?

However, many people also saw Captain Chen and Captain Shang arguing about who should go first.

The scene of the argument seemed to be right before my eyes: a resolute and handsome figure, yet an amputee, and a calm, yet resolute expression...

I still haven't seen him yet, could it be that he's in danger...

At the moment when the earth shook, everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden disaster, and no one had the extra time to care about the life and death of others.

Qi Mingyu's eyes sank slightly, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

The two captains are the pillars of the entire island and the backbone of everyone.

Their safety is directly related to the morale of the survivors. If anything happens to them, the future of the island will become even more precarious.

He glanced at the people around him again and roughly estimated that there were about a thousand survivors who escaped.

However, the island is now pitch black, and the surrounding ice fields are still collapsing. It is impossible for all the refugees to gather here.

Just now, while he was escaping, he also heard shouts and screams coming from afar. Obviously, there were still many survivors scattered in other places.

"The most important thing now is to gather those who have escaped." Qi Mingyu said in a low voice, turning his gaze to Zhou Shuwan: "We can't disperse. Once we disperse, we will become a pile of loose sand."

Zhou Shuwan nodded and agreed with his idea.

Although the soldiers who escaped were wearing cold-proof clothing like everyone else, they were all equipped with weapons and their postures and expressions were completely different.

They stood straight with determined eyes, maintaining the rigor and discipline of a soldier even in such a chaotic environment.

Qi Mingyu waved his hand to let the soldiers step out first and help gather the survivors.

He gestured, his voice deep and powerful, surprisingly clear amidst the chaos: "All soldiers, please step out of line. Please help maintain order, separate the wounded, and evacuate them first!"

Then they discuss what to do next.

The island is still in turmoil. In the darkness, except for the relatively flat open space under their feet, there are rubbles of collapsed ice and snow everywhere, and countless dusts are flying in the air. Only here is it relatively stable.

He had just opened his mouth to say a few words when a slightly hoarse voice sounded. It turned out to be Major Wei.

Major Wei held his waist with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other, and stood up with difficulty. It was obvious that he was also injured.

He had just led his men to escort the survivors through the passage, and when they were about to turn back, the passage had collapsed. He and his other men had to flee forward desperately to avoid the collapsed ground.

Then, he was at a loss for a moment and followed the main force towards this side.
