For half a month, she hardly left the cockpit, and even slept on a camp bed.
Her face gradually turned pale, her eyes were dark blue, and her figure was much thinner than before.
Qi Mingyu didn't know about Zhou Shuwan's situation at first. It was not until a few days later when he could no longer hide it from others that he learned about her condition.
He knew how much pressure Zhou Shuwan was under, and why she was working so hard.
Her ability made her everyone's last resort, but it also made her bear an unspeakable burden.
He deliberately found a relatively quiet moment and went to the cockpit to find her.
Zhou Shuwan was concentrating on monitoring the situation underground, his eyes red with anger.
Qi Mingyu felt distressed and walked over to whisper, "Wanwan, if it's convenient, come out. I want to talk to you."
Everything is stable at the moment.
Zhou Shuwan nodded and followed Qi Mingyu out of the cockpit.
When they arrived at a more secluded corner outside, Qi Mingyu turned around and looked her up and down, his brows furrowed more and more as he looked.
Zhou Shuwan also knew that he had looked very haggard these days.
She slept, but in fits and starts because no one could take turns sleeping with her.
Her mission is also the most important.
So, in order to prevent what happened last time from happening again, she just took a nap, then woke up again, and continued to monitor the situation ahead.
Zhou Shuwan turned his head slightly to avoid the other person's gaze.
"Look at you, you came here but didn't say anything. What are you staring at me for?"
Qi Mingyu paused and did not make any comment on her current appearance.
Instead, he pulled her to sit down and said seriously, "I know what you're worried about, but you have to take care of your body too. Don't push yourself too hard."
Under his deep and inclusive gaze, Zhou Shuwan finally lost his temper, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I can't relax. Danger could happen at any second. I can't let anyone fall into danger."
Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Do you believe in fate?"
Zhou Shuwan was stunned. He obviously didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly: "What do you mean?"
"I mean, everything we do now, whether we can survive in the end, may really depend on God's will." Qi Mingyu's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "When did you start believing this?"
Qi Mingyu nodded seriously, "That's right! When humans reach despair, they start to believe in all kinds of gods."
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Zhou Shuwan's face, and his expression became serious: "Actually, what I mean is that you shouldn't take everyone's fate on yourself. Save who you can, but the most important thing is to protect yourself."
Zhou Shuwan's smile gradually froze, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes: "Are you telling me that at the critical moment, you can even abandon you, your parents, and Mu Mu?"
Qi Mingyu shook his head without hesitation: "No, I will never abandon you."
Zhou Shuwan pursed his lips, a soft look flashing in his eyes: "Then why do you say that?"
Qi Mingyu gently took her hand and said in a low voice: "Because letting you live is my greatest selfish desire."
These words were like a warm current that instantly struck Zhou Shuwan's heart.
She felt a sore nose and a slight warmth in her eyes.
She lowered her head and buried her face in Qi Mingyu's solid chest, her voice choking. "I know what you mean. I also promised you that I would protect myself when necessary. But like you, my greatest selfish concern is to protect you, my parents, and Mu Mu."
Qi Mingyu gently stroked her hair, his voice gentle: "Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Our only hope now is to stay alive. But sometimes, whether we can survive or not, Wanwan, cannot be overcome by one's own strength! I hope you don't put so much pressure on yourself, and don't blame yourself if anything unexpected happens!"
Zhou Shuwan nodded vigorously, his voice firm: "Yes. I understand! Don't worry, I will keep what you said in mind."
Qi Mingyu then smiled slightly and reached out to ruffle her hair: "You have to pay attention to rest, understand?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded and instructed the other party: "And you, you are in charge of the cruise ship down there. I am also worried about you. You must pay attention to safety."
Qi Mingyu smiled, his tone relaxed: "Don't worry, you and I are in sync. I also predicted what you predicted."
Zhou Shuwan was amused by him, and her tense mood eased a lot.
She leaned in Qi Mingyu's arms and felt extremely at ease.
Maybe she really doesn't have to carry all the pressure on her shoulders.
No matter what, she just needs to have a clear conscience.
For the next week, there was no major danger on the ice.
The mothership and the cruise ship moved slowly across the ice field. Although their speed was not fast, at least they did not encounter any deadly geological activities.
Captain Shang also discussed with Captain Chen and other senior officers of the mother ship that they had now lost the island that provided them with protection and they certainly could not continue to drift on the endless ice field. They needed to find a place to stay.
So how do we choose the place to be stationed?
Like Major Wei, Captain Shang also knew that Zhou Shuwan had special abilities and tried his best to keep her from being exposed to the public eye.
So, he came to Zhou Shuwan privately to ask for her opinion.
Zhou Shuwan sat in the cockpit, gazing out into the pitch-black distance with a frown on his face, "Captain Shang, based on my observations, there's no place on the ice sheet that's absolutely safe right now.
Geological activity is very frequent and intense, and collapse and reorganization are always happening, but we just can’t see it.”
Captain Shang's expression grew grave. "Honestly, we're running low on fuel. Moving aimlessly across the ice sheet like this is not only wasting fuel, it's also wearing down everyone's morale."
No matter which of these two things is true, no one wants to see!
Zhou Shuwan was silent for a moment, staring at the distant sky in a daze.
She suddenly said to Captain Shang, "Actually, if we continue in this direction, we can reach Hope Island 1."
Captain Shang was startled for a moment, then revealed a look of surprise. "Hope Island 1? We've lost contact with it for a long time. Can you confirm its location?"
Ever since they lost contact with Hope Island No. 1, they have been worried and wanted to contact each other again, but for various practical reasons, they ultimately failed to do so.
This time something happened to Hope Island No. 2, but maybe Island No. 1 is safe and sound?
Although Island No. 1 is narrow, it at least gives this group of people some breathing space.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "I should be able to determine the location, but it's quite far away at the moment, so I need to slowly correct the route!"
"That's great!" Captain Shang had just finished his joy when he thought of a serious question: "Is Hope Island No. 1 safe now? Has similar geological activity occurred there?"
