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

Although the two captains had already relied on their rich experience and precise deductions.

The worst possible consequences of ice melting and sea level rise have been repeatedly considered, and every defense measure has been made extremely comprehensive, from strengthening island dams to building emergency shelters.

But when the mercury column in the thermometer finally broke through the 20-degree Celsius red line, everyone was completely shocked by the scene before them.

The whole world seemed to have pressed the "ice-breaking button". The ubiquitous rumbling sound waves, wrapped in chill, rolled in from the other side of the horizon, making people's eardrums hurt, and even the island under their feet was trembling slightly.

The vast expanse of ice is no longer a still white wasteland.

Like giant beasts breaking free from their restraints, they drift in from the distant polar regions with unstoppable force, and continue to rush towards warmer waters along the rising ocean currents.

When ice cubes collide, a crisp and terrifying cracking sound is emitted, and the flying ice chips reflect a cold light in the sunlight.

More ice blocks crashed directly into the protective rocks around the island, making a dull and powerful "bang bang bang" sound. Every impact was like God's finger knocking on the last refuge of mankind, making people feel nervous.

People crowded at the high observation point, watching all this with pale faces. Some tightly grasped their companions' hands, some subconsciously covered their children's eyes, and even their breathing became cautious.

The sea level is already a full meter higher than the warning line. The reef that was originally exposed above the sea now only has a small top left, appearing and disappearing in the surging waves.

Zhou Shuwan half-knelt there and could clearly "see" with his hands that the solidified ice layers under the sea, which were strong enough, were gradually cracking due to the impact of the drifting ice blocks above and the erosion of the undercurrent below.

First, tiny lines spread, and then the entire ice layer began to disintegrate and disperse. The broken ice blocks were like angry fragments, rolling with the ocean currents and continuously merging into the out-of-control "white torrent" above.

She looked serious, her eyes cast downwards.

Captain Shang's footsteps came from behind. Zhou Shuwan turned around and met his serious gaze.

"What's the situation?" Captain Shang's voice was low.

Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his expression solemn. "Not very optimistic. The ice is melting too quickly, and the sea level may continue to rise by at least ten meters. If it exceeds fifteen meters, the entire island will be completely submerged!"

Then, even if they had built high stone walls around it, it would be of no use.

Captain Shang was stunned for a moment, looking at the vast army of ice in the distance.

The ice in the distance advanced relentlessly like a giant steel beast, a terrifying sight.

After a long silence, he made up his mind: "We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Captain Shang pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and he said firmly: "Drive the mothership to the island! All survivors are staying on the upper floors of the mothership!"

He looked around, and the biting sea breeze seemed to add a bit of solemnity to his decision.

Zhou Shuwan nodded slightly, approving Captain Shang's decision.

But in fact, the space on the island is limited. Except for the mother ship and a few important ships, other ships can only stay at sea.

However, those ships floating on the sea will face the impact of huge ice blocks, and the damage will inevitably be huge.

But right now, this is their only choice.

Captain Shang was also a very decisive man and he gave the order very quickly.

The people who were originally frightened and helpless began to get busy.

They needed to open the stacked stones to allow the mothership and several other ships to come up.

Fortunately, the mothership and other ships have been modified according to life on the ice field, and now it is convenient to drive directly onto land.

In addition, the bottom of the mothership is filled with various warehouses that store large quantities of food, energy and other resources.

If sea levels continue to rise, the inventory beneath the mothership will certainly be affected.

So their task is very heavy, they need to move all the inventory below the 4th floor to the upper floors as soon as possible.

Fortunately, they have a population of more than 7,000, and if everyone works together, the task can be completed within a day or two.

Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu from the Zhou family are the main force in transporting supplies, so they naturally take on the responsibility.

The entire mother ship quickly engaged in the intensive and orderly work of transferring materials.

The residents on the mother ship were also busy evacuating.

Zhou Shuwan's family lives on the 8th floor of the mothership, which is an ideal golden floor. It is just above the safety line and there is no need to move.

But Zhipeng and Xue Tao, who lived on the 4th floor, were not so lucky.

They were calm. After all, they had moved once before when the extreme cold hit. This time they were familiar with the route and quickly moved all the supplies in their home.

They moved to the corridor in front of the Zhou family dormitory so that they could take care of each other.

After all, the space on the mothership is limited. In addition to the core personnel and the elderly, the weak and the disabled, there are also the teams that joined later.

Each of these people was assigned a position as early as when they were on Island No. 2.

At this critical moment, arbitrary redeployment will cause panic and dissatisfaction, which is not conducive to management.

Therefore, in addition to receiving another 1000 people from the cruiser, the mother ship had to arrange the remaining survivors on the cruiser and two large cruise ships that followed them to the island.

Tao Zheng and his team were the leaders who joined the team later and were also the last ones to be considered.

So most of them need to live on the destroyer.

They are latecomers, which is understandable.

Thanks to their relationship with Zhou Shuwan and others, Tao Zheng, Zhang Jia and others can also live on the mothership.

However, he has led this team for several years after all, and there is a bond between them.

He would feel bad if he had to abandon them at this time and go live on the safer and more comfortable mothership.

So he declined Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu's offer: "It's okay, I can live in the cruiser, Jiajia will be with me, the brothers are all here, we know each other well. We won't know anyone on the mothership, and it won't be convenient."

Their team will eventually be integrated into the mothership.

But now the time is too short. They have to start self-rescue immediately after returning. The mission is urgent, so they can't take care of these things.

Qi Mingyu didn't force it. He understood Tao Zheng's thoughts very well. He patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me directly. Don't hold it in. Wanwan and I will definitely help if we can."

Tao Zheng nodded at him: "Don't worry, we have been friends for many years, I won't be polite with you!"

"That's right!" Qi Mingyu sighed, "There are only two of us left from the brothers back then. How can we not take care of each other?"

Tao Zheng looked at the turbulent world outside, his eyes filled with sadness.

His feelings for Sangzi and Xiaoliu became deeper, more reluctant, and more painful because they later spent many years together in the apocalypse.
