The situation on Hope Island No. 1 surprised and disappointed everyone.
They came from thousands of miles away just to find their kind and to find a place of shelter.
After Captain Shang led his men off the ship, he came to ask Zhou Shuwan about the situation on the island.
After hearing what Zhou Shuwan said, he knew that everyone on the island had fled. He couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or slightly relieved. He was glad that not all of them were buried here.
Captain Shang then asked Zhou Shuwan about the situation on the island.
Zhou Shuwan had just explored the area beneath the island, so he spoke frankly, "Captain, this island has experienced at least two major earthquakes. The geological activity was extremely intense, leaving obvious signs of damage both above and below the surface."
Captain Shang frowned upon hearing this, and scanned the ice field with his eyes. He said in a heavy tone, "So, this island is no longer suitable for living?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded and continued, "Yes, there are many cracks and depressions on the island, and the geological structure is very unstable. Even if you want to live here, it will require large-scale renovations."
Moreover, she could only sense the shallow underground conditions, and deeper geological activities could not be completely ruled out.
So, she couldn't be sure whether it was safe or not for people to live here!
Captain Shang was silent for a moment, with his hands behind his back, looking forward with a deep gaze.
A few seconds later, he decisively gave the order: "Adjutant, order all personnel to temporarily camp nearby! Everyone has been traveling for days and needs a rest."
Adjutant Yun quickly responded with a "yes".
The order was quickly passed down, and the crew members began to move. The fleet slowly docked on the ice field near the island.
Although the island is uninhabitable, at least the surrounding terrain is relatively flat and can be used as a temporary stay.
Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief. After everything was done, he and Qi Mingyu returned to the dormitory, which they had not had time to return to in the past few days.
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai surrounded her, saying that she had worked hard and that they wanted to make delicious food for her to nourish her body.
Chunchun sat there and smiled at her. He was now a teenager and not as shy as before. It was just the living environment he had grown up in that made him rather taciturn.
These days, he has been living in the dormitory.
It would be inappropriate to touch his head like he did when he was a child. Zhou Shuwan patted his shoulder and asked, "How are you feeling now? Do you get sick often?"
Chunchun smiled shyly: "It's much better now."
When the family sat down to talk, Zhou Jianghai frowned slightly, his tone filled with worry: "How is the situation on the island? Can we stay here temporarily?"
Because Chunchun was there, Zhou Shuwan didn't explain it so clearly. He just shook his head and said, "No matter where you live now, it's not absolutely safe. I heard Captain Shang mean to stay for a few days and then decide whether to stay or go."
Hearing this, Zhong Tiyun sighed softly and said, "Captain Ma of the cruiser stayed here. Now he has taken so many people with him and no one knows where he has escaped to. The ice field is so vast, it will be difficult to find them!"
Everyone trusted Captain Ma's character, but now he has completely lost contact with us, so everyone feels bad.
Moreover, the people who stayed on Island No. 1 were unlike them. They had countless ships of all sizes, as well as the ocean overlord's mothership to escort them.
Their largest ship is only a cruiser, so they will definitely encounter more dangers after going out!
"Oh." Zhou Jianghai sighed heavily: "Where is there a safe place on this ice field?" Outside the window, the biting cold wind was howling, rolling up tiny ice crystals, hitting the metal shell of the ship, making a "crackling" sound.
Zhou Shuwan nodded silently. She could understand her father's concerns.
Over such a long time, they have experienced too many life-and-death dangers.
From the original mothership, to the later Hope Island No. 2, and now drifting on the vast ice field, every escape is a great test of their will and endurance.
At this moment, she could feel more clearly the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her father and mother's eyes, which were the traces left by time and worry.
"Dad, Mom." Zhou Shuwan looked at the two of them: "Don't worry too much. With so many of us, we can always find a place to stay. Captain Shang and the others will also find a way."
Zhong Tiyun held Zhou Shuwan's hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with her fingertips, and said softly: "Wanwan, Mom doesn't ask for anything else, as long as our family is together and happy. You have to take care of yourself too. Don't be too tired."
Her eyes were full of heartache. For more than two months, Shu Wan had been working almost day and night for everyone's safety. Her thin face and the dark circles under her eyes deeply hurt Zhong Tiyun's heart.
"Yeah," Zhou Shuwan nodded vigorously and patted the back of her mother's hand gently. "I know, Mom. I won't let anything happen to me."
They came to look for the more than 1000 people left behind on the cruiser, but now since both sides had separated long ago, they could only temporarily not reunite and each had to find their own way out.
So, the most important thing for the mothership now is what to do next.
Zhou Shuwan also clearly told Captain Shang that she hadn't found any absolutely safe places along the way. The geological activity was intense, and the impact was multifaceted.
The warships discussed for a long time before finally reaching a consensus.
We will temporarily camp on the nearby ice field and then conduct an on-site inspection of the transformation on the island.
If you can live on an island, then go there.
They must first overcome the most dangerous situation predicted by Zhou Shuwan before considering anything else.
However, the island is now in ruins, and it is not easy to repair it.
But after they left Island No. 2, earthquakes continued to occur one after another. Zhou Shuwan had told Captain Shang long before they left Island No. 2 that the area was very dangerous and they could not go back for the time being.
The situation on Island No. 1 is much better than that on Island No. 2. At least it has stabilized for now.
So they could only use Island No. 1 as a temporary base.
In the next few days, everyone in the fleet was busy.
They need to participate together in the transformation of the island.
Because the surface of the island had long been torn beyond recognition, the crisscrossing cracks covered the ground like hideous scars. The wider ones could swallow a whole person's foot, while the deeper ones were pitch black and bottomless.
Even more deadly are the several large-scale collapsed areas. The rocks on the edges are still peeling off, and when the rubble falls into the abyss, it takes several seconds for a faint echo to be heard - no one dares to estimate how many dangers are hidden in the depth of dozens of meters.
If one is not careful, one will fall into the abyss.
Living conditions are extremely worrying.
