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

When Zhou Shuwan spoke, his voice was a little hoarse: "I never thought they were still alive."

That year, she and Qi Mingyu returned to the coastal area to look for "seeds" and discovered a large number of giant machines.

At that time, she recognized Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia's boat, but it was in a mess.

She always believed that the other person had unfortunately died.

Unexpectedly, they are still alive and have been living in the deep sea for so many years.

Qi Mingyu usually keeps his emotions secret, but he was very excited at this moment.

After waiting for his emotions to calm down a bit, he asked the two captains, "What should we do next?"

Captain Shang pondered for a moment and his eyes fell on Zhou Shuwan.

He spoke slowly, his tone laced with determination. "Island 1 is currently being repaired and leveled, and will be ready for occupancy in half a month. Furthermore, as temperatures rise, Captain Ma and his crew are located too low, and there's a real possibility of seawater flooding back into the area after the ice melts. Living on Hope Island 3 would then be extremely dangerous."

He paused at this point, as if weighing the pros and cons. "Although I do hope to have Dr. Zhou come along to inspect the situation on Island 3."

The two islands are 100 kilometers apart, which normally would take two days to reach. However, there are too many dangers on the ice field now, and it might take three or four days if we take a detour.

"But Dr. Zhou is also very important to the reconstruction of the island. So, after careful consideration, Dr. Zhou decided to stay until the island is rebuilt."

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other.

Although they were eager to see Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia, Captain Shang's decision was obviously more prudent.

The reconstruction of the island is currently in full swing, and as core members, they really cannot leave easily.

The team led by Li Lehuan took a short rest that day and then set off back to Island No. 3 the next day to deliver the news from here.

Major Wei brought a small team with him to check out the situation.

A few days later, a roar was heard from the end of the ice field.

On the mothership's observation deck, a soldier quickly reported: "A large mobile force has been spotted in the northeast!"

Captain Shang personally went up to the deck and looked from afar. Sure enough, he saw a column of troops slowly approaching.

The leader was Captain Ma. Although his figure was a little hunched, his steps were still firm.

Behind him was a huge crowd, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and expectation.

Captain Ma and his group gradually approached, and Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also came down from the deck.

Wait until both parties are standing face to face.

Captain Ma shook the hands of Captain Chen and Captain Shang with great emotion, his expression full of excitement.

Zhou Shuwan searched the crowd and soon caught sight of two familiar figures - Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she took a step forward almost unconsciously.

Zhang Jia obviously saw her as well. His originally calm expression collapsed in an instant and tears welled up in his eyes.

She walked quickly forward, almost stumbling towards Zhou Shuwan.

Zhou Shuwan didn't have time to think about it and almost instinctively went forward to meet him.

The two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to put all the longing and worry of separation over the years into this hug.

For Zhou Shuwan, Zhang Jia is her friend in both her past and present lives, and they have a deep bond.

The hasty separation has been a constant concern in my heart over the years.

"Wanwan...it's really you...When I heard it, I thought I had misheard..." Zhang Jia's voice was choked, and his hands tightly grasped Zhou Shuwan's shoulders, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.

Her face was full of traces of time, but her eyes were still bright, revealing deep dependence and trust.

"It's me, it's me." Zhou Shuwan responded softly, his voice trembling a little.

She never thought that she would see Zhang Jia again.

At the same time, Tao Zheng and Qi Mingyu looked at each other, with complicated emotions in their eyes.

Men's emotions are much more restrained, especially when they are in public.

Tao Zheng nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

Qi Mingyu also nodded slightly, his expression showing both the joy of reunion after a long separation and the emotion about the changes in the world.

"Long time no see." Qi Mingyu took the initiative to speak and patted the other person's shoulder.

"Long time no see, Captain!" Tao Zheng spoke, his tone filled with unconcealable excitement.

Zhou Shuwan let go of Zhang Jia, glanced at the crowd, and frowned slightly.

She whispered, "Where are Sangzi and Xiaoliu? Didn't they come with you?"

When these two names were mentioned, Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia's expressions suddenly dimmed.

Tao Zheng was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head.

Zhang Jiaze lowered his head, as if suppressing some emotion.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's hearts sank.

Although they didn't get a clear answer, they already understood something.

"Let's go and get on the boat first." Qi Mingyu broke the silence.

Zhou Shuwan nodded and took Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia back to their dormitory.

Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai were obviously very surprised when they saw the two of them.

"Zhang Jia? It's really you!" Zhong Tiyun walked quickly forward, took Zhang Jia's hand and looked him up and down, her eyes full of surprise.

"Auntie, long time no see." Zhang Jia smiled, his voice still a little hoarse.

Zhou Jianghai also came over and patted Tao Zheng on the shoulder: "It's great to see you."

After a few pleasantries, Zhang Jia glanced around the room and frowned slightly.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Shuwan saw her concerns and comforted her softly, "Mumu is in the rescue area of ​​the mothership. He's a doctor now and is very busy. He won't be back until tonight."

Zhang Jia was obviously relieved, but then asked, "Then...where's Grandma Pang?"

When Grandma Pang was mentioned, Zhou Shuwan's expression darkened and she glanced at Qi Mingyu.

Qi Mingyu was now able to calmly talk about his grandmother's death, and he went on to talk about Grandma Pang.

Zhang Jia and Tao Zheng's expressions suddenly became solemn. They looked at each other, but they were not particularly surprised.

Just like Zhou Shuwan and the others, when they separated from each other, they all thought that the other had died.

I am lucky to see you again this time.

Grandma Pang is really old, so it was expected.

They also encountered the thick fog that filled the entire ocean. The fog entered their bodies, causing countless people to become sick and die. The dead seemed to have had all their blood sucked out, and they looked extremely terrifying.

When I think of that time now, I still feel scared.

After Qi Mingyu finished his narration, the room fell silent, leaving only the faint sound of breathing and the gentle sound of the cold wind hitting the hull outside the window.

Zhang Jia's eyes were red: "I didn't expect that after so many years, things and people have changed."

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face, trying to calm herself down.
