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

Adjutant Yun was protecting Captain Chen over there.

Captain Shang gripped the handrail tightly, his body tilting slightly as the mothership swayed. He stared at the metal wall, his facial muscles tense.

When Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu supported each other and staggered to their feet, their arms were still numb from the impact.

Looking over the tilted guardrail, they both gasped at the same time.

The alloy protective wall in the distance was like a piece of paper crumpled by a huge force. Its surface was covered with spider-web-like cracks, and the protruding metal plates were twisted and deformed. The edges were still making a "crunching" sound as the hull swayed, and then it completely collapsed in the next second.

Several huge icebergs rushed out from the gap where the protective wall collapsed. The ice spikes shone with a cold and hard luster under the gray sky, and they were wrapped in surging waves and pounced towards the mother ship like a group of out-of-control beasts.

The alarms on the deck were shrill and piercing. Everyone knew that if the mothership was hit by this ice group, the hull would be torn open, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this critical moment, the roar of an engine suddenly came from the small island on the diagonal side.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the white cruise ship parked on the shallows of the island was slowly starting up. The propeller broke up the floating ice on the sea surface and it rushed towards the mother ship with black smoke coming out.

The cruise ship was not moving fast, but it was parked steadily in front of the mother ship like a solid fortress.

The next second, “BOOM!”

The violent crash was deafening.

The front row of ice floes hit the side of the cruise ship hard, the thick hull sank instantly, and the broken ice chips flew dozens of meters high.

Immediately afterwards, more ice blocks hit the ship one after another, pushing it backwards and sliding continuously. The bottom of the ship rubbed against the rocks on the seabed, producing harsh sparks, and the entire island trembled slightly under the impact.

Not long after, a "crackling" sound was heard from the lower half of the cruise ship. Several hideous cracks spread across the hull, and cold sea water instantly poured in from the holes.

The sound of flowing water mixed with the screams in the cabin spread far across the open sea.

Zhou Shuwan tightly grasped Qi Mingyu's wrist and looked at the gradually tilting cruise ship. Her heart felt as if it was being tightened by an invisible hand.

"The cabin is flooded!"

"Save people! Help people!"

Captain Shang's voice became hoarse from shouting.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared on the deck of the cruise ship, Tao Zheng.

He held a loud speaker in his hand, stood on a high place, and shouted loudly: "Escape! Escape! The cabin is flooded, everyone evacuate!"

His voice was particularly clear amid the roar, carrying an unmistakable sense of urgency.

The crowd on the cruise ship began to commotion, running out of the cabins and rushing to the deck.

It turned out that the person who was driving the boat just now was Tao Zheng.

It was he who saved the mothership at the critical moment.

Tao Zheng didn't stop. While directing the crowd to evacuate, he quickly walked towards the cockpit and shouted to the crew inside: "Drive the boat to the metal wall and block the gap!"

The crew acted quickly and the cruise ship slowly moved towards the overturned metal wall.

Finally, the cruise ship stopped steadily at the gap in the metal wall, blocking the crack.

Although seawater was still pouring in from the holes in the cabin, the weight and volume of the cruise ship were enough to temporarily block the impact of the ice.

The inner area of ​​the island is safe for the time being.

Captain Shang on the mothership quickly issued an order to rescue the cruise ship: "Hurry up and save people! Get those on the cruise ship to the mothership first!"

The soldiers acted quickly, jumping into the icy water and swimming towards the cruise ship.

The water on the island was already very deep and the water level was rising, so the soldiers had to swim some distance to reach the cruise ship.

The sea was turbulent, with broken ice blocks floating in it.

Qi Mingyu stared intently at the soldiers who jumped into the sea: "We have to help."

Zhou Shuwan nodded.

"You monitor the underground here, I'll go." Qi Mingyu asked her to stay where she was.

He turned around and walked quickly towards the side of the ship. He and other soldiers on the mothership found all the lifebuoys and ropes, and began to help the soldiers rescue the trapped people onto the mothership.

With the help of the soldiers, the people on the cruise ship were rescued one by one.

Some were so exhausted that they could barely swim and could only move forward with the help of soldiers.

The sea water was freezing cold, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and fear.

"Hurry! Come up quickly!" Qi Mingyu stood at the side of the ship, reached out and grabbed a young man who had just climbed out of the sea, and pulled him onto the deck.

The young man gasped, his face pale, and tremblingly said, "Thank you..."

He also had a large bag on his back, which contained his own supplies.

It was all soaked at this point, but there was nothing we could do.

The others led him to the open space on the other side.

Although the temperature is over 20 degrees at this time, the temperature of the sea water is still extremely low.

Most of the people who came up were trembling all over and their faces were pale.

Soldiers were already pushing the lifeboat over.

Each lifeboat was full of people.

As time went on, people on the cruise ship were gradually rescued, and the deck of the mother ship was soon crowded with people.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner under the command of Captain Shang.

Tao Zheng was the last one to be rescued onto the mothership.

He stood on the deck of the cruise ship, looking at the white cruise ship standing there motionless, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

We have been together for many years and we still have a lot of feelings for each other. But now it has been completely destroyed by the ice.

Tao Zheng felt complicated.

But he didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he held Zhang Jia's hand and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Zhang Jia arrived a quarter of an hour earlier than him.

She has also been helping everyone escape from the cruise ship.

So, at this moment, she was trembling all over, her face was pale, and she was only wearing a down jacket that Zhou Shuwan had brought her.

He also drank the boiling water that Zhong Tiyun brought him.

That feels better.

Tao Zheng was also soaked all over.

Zhong Tiyun also poured him a cup of boiled water.

Qi Mingyu put a military coat on him.

Tao Zheng thanked him while drinking water.

Qi Mingyu patted his shoulder: "It was a close call just now! It's all thanks to you!"

The reason why Tao Zheng was able to become the deputy captain was because his reaction speed and ability to adapt to circumstances were no less than Qi Mingyu's.

Just now, he was able to risk his life and save the mothership, which was very important to all the survivors!

Now, everyone on the ship is very grateful to him.

Tao Zheng gave a bitter laugh and whispered to Qi Mingyu, "I didn't think much at the time and just rushed over. Although the cruise ship sank, at least the mothership was saved."

"As long as we have the mothership, we will have more chances of survival!" Qi Mingyu nodded.
