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

Because there were so many people around, Li Lehuan didn't finish his words.

When the two captains asked everyone else to get busy and took Li Lehuan to a makeshift tent to talk, Li Lehuan revealed another shocking news.

He looked at Captain Shang, then at Captain Chen, and lowered his voice slightly, "We still have more than 2,000 people, temporarily stationed about 100 kilometers away from here. That place... the situation is somewhat special."

Captain Chen frowned slightly and motioned Li Lehuan to continue.

"That place was originally an ocean, but after experiencing numerous natural disasters, a piece of land gradually emerged." Li Lehuan paused, his eyes becoming serious. "It's not a small area, but the sea level is so low that the land is almost completely submerged. An adult standing on it would be up to their waists in the water."

Captain Shang's eyes narrowed: "How did you find a place like this?"

Li Lehuan gave a wry smile. "It was actually an accident. We discovered that place when we were out fishing before. It has been quietly rising from the seabed. It's just that the ground is too low, and adults have to stand on it to move around. So, Captain Ma didn't consider living there at first."

They were previously on Hope Island No. 1, where there was enough space, so they had never thought of taking over this small island.

However, this time, due to a large-scale geological activity, earthquakes hit Island No. 1 where they lived again and again, killing and injuring more than half of the people. Captain Ma had no other choice but to order everyone to move to the new Island No. 3, Hope Island.

"But while we were fleeing on the ice, we encountered another group of people, also survivors from the Huaxia Nation. That group numbered over two thousand, a semi-civilian, semi-military organization, with several commanders being former soldiers. Their equipment was tattered, but they maintained strict discipline.

Their team included a brilliant geologist who traveled for nearly half a year before reaching our destination. They encountered countless dangers along the way, and suffered many casualties, before finally reaching our destination.

He was a geologist before the apocalypse, and when he surveyed that raised land, he said the geological activity there was relatively stable, and he suggested we temporarily station there.

Li Lehuan said with a hint of luck in his tone: "After we merged our teams, we went there together. Although the terrain is low, the ice is thick, so it's safe in the short term."

Because the small island - New Hope Island, named No. 3 Island by Captain Ma, was too low, it took the more than 2,500 people a long time to remove the thick ice on it so that people could rest temporarily.

But the ice field was full of dangers at that time. They lived on the lowest level on Island No. 3. Once the ice melted and seawater flowed back, they would all be in danger.

Therefore, from time to time, Captain Ma would send people here to check on the situation, hoping that the things would be moved back.

That's how Li Lehuan heard the noise on the island and gathered with the main force.

Captain Chen, after listening to Li Lehuan's narration, frowned and tapped the armrest of his wheelchair with his fingers. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Who exactly are those people? What is their situation?"

Li Lehuan smiled with a strange look on his face, as if he was recalling something.

He spoke slowly, "The leader's surname is Tao, Tao Zheng, and he used to be a special forces soldier. In fact, before the mainland fell, Tao Zheng and his group had met us before. They also lived on that coast.

Later, due to the volcanic eruption, people fled in panic. They were not qualified to board the mother ship at that time and could only take their own power boat, which was very slow, and later they fell behind.

When he said this, there was a hint of emotion in his tone, and his eyes seemed to have returned to the moment of the disaster that year.

"The situation was extremely critical at the time. Tao Zheng and his crew's ship collided with the then-rich Gu family. The Gu family had a large cruise ship, but the flames from the volcanic ash eruption landed on the cruise ship, almost setting half of the ship on fire.

Except for the head of the Gu family, Gu Kan, who was still maintaining order, everyone else was in a state of panic. Tao Zheng led his men to sneak up from under the cruise ship.

By the time the Gu family discovered it, it was too late. They had completely lost track of the mothership in the thick volcanic ash.

Tao Zheng and his men were calm and composed. They directed the cruise ship to rush left and right, breaking out of the circle of volcanic ash, and then directed others to use seawater to put out the fire.

Gu Kan felt that all the bodyguards he hired were not as good as these special forces soldiers, so he was very willing to let them stay.

"It's just that they misjudged the direction at the time and completely avoided the direction of the mother ship, heading deeper into the sea."

"Is there such a thing?" Captain Shang was very surprised.

But he also vaguely remembered what happened.

Most of the people living on the coast were those who had fled from the new base in J City, and some of them were indeed troops coming from the capital.

However, the casualties caused by the earthquake were too great, and the army became scattered and ineffective.

However, due to capacity and material issues, their mothership could not accommodate more people, so they made a strict rule that they would not accept any people.

Only then was the order that was on the verge of collapse brought under control.

Chen Lehuan continued, "There were also some survivors who fled with the cruise ship. While fleeing at sea, they met people fleeing from other provinces and cities.

At that time, because the mainland had fallen, all those who could flee to the sea, and their numbers kept growing.

They walked northward in the deep sea and finally found an island and settled down there.

They even accepted some foreigners, but later due to lack of supplies, fighting broke out, many people were killed and injured, and a number of people died in disasters, leaving only a population of about 2,000 people.

Captain Chen and Captain Shang were more and more surprised as they listened. They looked at each other, obviously neither of them had expected this tortuous experience.

Captain Chen spoke slowly, his voice filled with complex emotions. "Initially, due to the limited capacity of the mothership, we refused to allow many survivors to board. I never expected that the people Captain Ma and his crew encountered were actually people they had met before. The world is so big, and coincidences are truly endless."

Li Lehuan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, this Chief Tao also said that he knows Doctor Zhou and Captain Qi here."

When Captain Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was obviously even more surprised.

Then he called Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu over and told them about this.

Zhou Shuwan obviously didn't expect such a coincidence. She looked a little dazed, as if she had returned to the coast back then.

Qi Mingyu stood beside her and shook her hand tightly. Both of them looked very excited.
