Zhou Shuwan shook his head. "I can't really explain it, but while we were escaping, several large-scale earthquakes occurred on the island. The damage must have been enormous."

Mu Mu just counted the population: "If Captain Ma, Brother Tao Zheng and their people move in, our place will probably be very crowded."

The reason why they abandoned this small island and went to the newly discovered Island No. 2 was because Island No. 1 was relatively small and could not accommodate so many people.

The resources are not as abundant as those in the south.

But now, if the three parties were combined, there would be about 7,000 people.

With so many people packed into such a small island, it would indeed be crowded.

Zhou Shuwan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to squeeze in for the time being."

What makes people a little frustrated is that there seems to be no transition between the eternal night and the day. When they woke up that morning, the sun rose and never went down.

It seemed to want to make up for all the laziness it had shown in the past two years, hanging there in bright light from morning to night.

It took everyone a long time to adapt to the darkness.

Because of the lack of sunlight for a long time, everyone has some problems with their bodies.

But in the last days, some minor physical ailments are the least worth mentioning.

The Zhou family benefited from the countless supplies stored in the space. Zhou Shuwan generously took out various patches every day for his family to eat.

So, although the polar night also has an impact on them, it is much better than for everyone else.

But now that daylight has arrived, not only others, but even the Zhou family themselves took a long time to adapt.

They needed to keep the curtains tightly drawn day and night. Even in the first two days, no one could turn on the lights. Any white light would irritate their eyes.

Zhong Tiyun smiled helplessly and said, "It's always been polar night, and everyone is eager for the sun to come, but when the sun finally comes, no one can adapt to it. They wish they could go back to the polar night."

Zhou Shuwan comforted everyone: "It's okay, Mom, this is only temporary. It will be fine once you're fully adapted."

As a result, reconstruction work on the island is progressing very slowly.

Tao Zheng and his group were unable to leave and had to hold on until the thirteenth day, when they could barely see the road ahead with their hats on, and then they hurried back.

Because these days, the temperature changes almost every day.

The temperature was minus 40 degrees Celsius when daylight came, and now it has rapidly risen to 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.

The change in temperature is a qualitative leap.

What is most worrying is that as the temperature changes, the already unstable ice layer becomes even more shaky.

According to Zhou Shuwan's monitoring, ice has melted beneath the ice layer and the ocean currents are flowing silently.

At this time, it is no longer safe to walk on the ice field.

Even the outermost layer of the ice field was slowly melting. When people walked out, the melted snow water would soak their shoes.

That's why Tao Zheng and the others are becoming more and more anxious.

When the temperature rises to a certain level, all the seas will be unsealed and it is certain that seawater will flow back to Island No. 3.

When they came to say goodbye to Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, Zhou Shuwan thought about it and said, "I'll go back with you!"

Everyone was a little surprised.

Qi Mingyu immediately understood what Zhou Shuwan meant by this.

Zhou Shuwan looked at him, her eyes calm, but with her usual persistence: "Now only I can take them back safely!"

Among so many people, she was the only one who knew how dangerous it was to walk on the ice field.

Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia still didn't know what had happened, and what the significance of Zhou Shuwan going back with them was.

Zhou Shuwan didn't explain, but turned to look at her parents: "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I made you worry about me. But this place is very close to Island No. 3. I will try to get back within three or four days!"
