Zhou Shuwan didn't refuse and nodded solemnly: "Captain Shang, I will do my best. The road ahead will be more difficult, and there will be more and more cracks. We must be careful at all times."

Captain Shang took a deep breath and looked at the dark sky outside the cabin: "Okay."

Qi Mingyu stood beside Zhou Shuwan, his eyes never leaving her face.

He gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "You just woke up, don't push yourself too hard."

Zhou Shuwan raised his head and smiled at him. A hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but more of it was determination: "I'm fine. This situation is urgent. I must do my best."

Captain Shang saw this and without further delay, he immediately went to the cockpit and issued an order: "Notify all fleets, in half an hour, overcome all difficulties and we will set off immediately!"

The atmosphere in the cockpit suddenly became tense, and everyone started to get busy, as if an invisible storm was approaching.

Captain Shang looked at Zhou Shuwan and said solemnly, "Doctor Zhou, your tasks will be very heavy during this period. If you need any resources or help, please let me know at any time."

Zhou Shuwan nodded: "I understand, Captain Shang, I will do my best."

Captain Shang didn't say anything else, just looked at her deeply, then turned around and continued to discuss the next action plan with other officers.

The fleet set sail that day.

The wind on the deck, mixed with ice particles, whistled and hit the hull, making a tiny knocking sound.

Zhou Shuwan stood at the side of the ship, staring at the end of the ice field in the distance.

The wind blew up her winter coat, she squinted her eyes slightly, and her fingers unconsciously clasped the railing.

Qi Mingyu stayed beside her silently, letting the wind blow through the corners of their clothes.

He knew how heavy the task she had to bear was, and all he could do was stay by her side and try his best to help her share the burden.

The fleet was sailing much faster than before and was no longer moving so cautiously and slowly.

On the contrary, the speed of the fleet's progress surprised everyone.

But they were all used to following orders and no one questioned it.

The scene on the ice field was rapidly receding from the side of the ship.

The vibration of the hull and the sound of friction on the ice were intertwined.

On the third day, when the fleet took a detour, they encountered the extremely long crack again.

The width of the crack was astonishing, like a huge scar across the ice field. The edges of the ice on both sides were jagged, as if they had been torn apart by some force.

Although time was tight, Zhou Shuwan could not miss this opportunity to sense the underground through the cracks.

She continued her journey with the two small teams she had brought with her.

When she reached the edge of the crack, she lowered her head and stared into the dark abyss, her brows slightly furrowed.

The team members around her held their breath and looked serious.

Through perception, the undercurrent at the bottom flows slowly, and the sound of water echoes in the cracks, which is particularly clear.

Further down was the scene she "saw" last time.

The geological activity was intense. The ancient rock layers made loud noises underground, the hot magma was surging, and fine cracks appeared in the sedimentary rocks at the bottom of the abyss.

It seems that in the next second, the magma will erupt and instantly invade this short-lived land!

The results of this investigation are the same as before.

Zhou Shuwan quickly withdrew his hand, his face slightly pale, but much better than last time.

She shook her head at Qi Mingyu, meaning that the situation was not optimistic.

They did not stay long and quickly returned to report the results of the investigation to the two captains.

Captain Shang pondered for a moment, then ordered the fleet to continue moving forward quickly.

Over the next month, the fleet encountered numerous disasters: ice sheets collapsed, icebergs rose, and huge cracks appeared ahead, each forcing the fleet to take a detour.

During a voyage approaching a huge iceberg, the fleet encountered the largest crack.

The crack is two hundred meters deep and twenty to thirty meters wide, like a natural chasm lying across the front of the fleet.
