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

He half-knelt down, his eyes level with hers, with an unquestionable firmness: "Yuxuan, I want to tell you, as long as we are alive, there is hope.

You are not a burden, you are my sister and my most important relative.

We will face it together. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will be by your side."

Yuxuan's tears fell silently: "Brother, I... I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you. My body... may never recover."

Zhipeng felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he said firmly, "Yuxuan, you are already very strong. You have been through so much, and you still managed to get through it. As long as you don't give up, as long as we move forward step by step, we will eventually see the light."

Yuxuan's tears flowed more and more, but she didn't say anything, just held Zhipeng's hand tightly.

Zhipeng knew that his words touched her.

He felt slightly relieved.

Before, he was really worried that Yuxuan would take some extreme measures when he was not paying attention to understand herself, understand the pain, and understand her deep guilt towards him.

From now on, everything will be fine...

As the entire ice sheet gradually melts, the temperature of the sea water is also slowly rising.

As time went by, rotting fish and seafood carcasses began to float on the sea.

They float around with the water, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

This smell is different from the ordinary rotting corpse. It has a strong seafood stench that is unbearable.

Even those who have lived at sea for a long time cannot get used to the smell.

Many people tightly wrapped their mouths and noses with cloths and even closed all the doors and windows of the mothership, but the stench was still everywhere, as if it had penetrated into every corner.

The Zhou family was no exception. Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun sealed the small windows of the dormitory again with sealing strips, but the smell still lingered.

Although Zhou Shuwan had a mask in her space, she didn't want to appear too special, so she covered her mouth and nose with a cut square scarf like everyone else.

"The smell is getting stronger and stronger." Zhong Tiyun frowned, fanned the air in front of her with her hands, and complained in a low voice.

Zhou Jianghai shook his head, a hint of fatigue in his tone: "It's useless to put more sealing strips on. The smell is coming from the sea. Unless we can seal the entire ship, there's no way to stop it."

Zhou Shuwan stood aside, his eyes fixed on the sea outside the window.

This stench cannot be resolved in the short term unless the body is completely decomposed.

Looking out to sea from the deck of the mother ship, one can see a large number of rotting marine organisms suddenly floating on the surface of the sea.

These fish carcasses surged with the waves, sometimes floating on the surface and sometimes sinking into the water, like tattered flags, announcing some silent disaster.

Zhou Shuwan looked at the surging waves in the distance. After a moment, she turned her head and said softly, "Although there are many corpses on the sea, they will be washed downstream by the current. After a while, the smell should be less."

Zhong Tiyun sighed: "It can only be like this."

Mu Mu also nodded: "Everyone has reduced the time they go out now, and hiding in this boat is also the only way."

Zhou Shuwan didn't say anything, her gaze still fixed on the distance.

The scene on the sea reminded her of the flood period in the past. The temperature was much higher than it is now, the flood was raging, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos.

Now, although the temperature is not that high and the ocean is vast enough, the rotting fish carcasses and pungent smell make people feel as if they have returned to those difficult times.

However, there is good news.

As the sea temperature gradually rises, those huge ice blocks have melted into small ice blocks and no longer hit the island and the cabin as violently as before.
