This is mainly because the surrounding environment is so harsh.
The air was filled with an indescribable stench, a mixture of various corrupt substances.
It not only has the stench of ordinary rotting animals, but also is mixed with the fishy smell of rotting seafood, which makes people want to vomit.
The smell is extremely pungent and cannot be completely blocked even with the doors and windows closed.
If you smell it too much, it may even cause physiological tears, and your eyes, nose and throat will feel strongly irritated.
Everyone had no appetite and could only hold their breath as much as possible and finish their food quickly.
The bad environment caused everyone to be quiet. After dinner, except for Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun who were on duty, everyone else returned to the dormitory for a quick rest.
Zhou Shuwan was lying in bed, still hearing the sound of waves hitting the boat, and the pungent stench in the air was always with him.
They were busy for more than twenty hours before they took a break.
Zhou Shuwan was exhausted and her brain was like a mess, but she was still thinking vaguely before going to sleep.
It would be too torturous to live in such an environment for the next month or two.
But overall, with the helicopter, their travel speed was more than twice as fast as before.
However, things don't always go smoothly.
On the morning of the third day, they flew in the air as usual.
The sun shone through the thin clouds, casting a warm light in the cabin.
Just then, Zhou Shuwan noticed that something seemed wrong with the sky ahead.
The originally light white clouds began to gather at some point, and their color turned grayish white, as if they were lightly dyed with ink.
Alarm bells rang in Zhou Shuwan's mind.
She immediately leaned forward and looked, her pupils suddenly shrinking.
The clouds began to reflect light.
It was not an ordinary reflection, but a sharp and dazzling refraction of light, like countless tiny pieces of glass suspended in the air, reflecting the sun's rays.
"Mu Mu, come down! The ice rain is coming!" she almost shouted.
This sound instantly changed the expressions of everyone in the cabin.
The huge ice spikes formed in the air were sharp enough to penetrate metal, and their speed when falling from a high altitude was comparable to that of a bullet.
If the plane is hit, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Mu Mu's hands were firmly on the joystick. Although the light reflected from the front made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes, he still quickly adjusted the altitude and let the helicopter descend.
The wind whistled across the fuselage.
Zhou Shuwan quickly made arrangements on the side: "Dad, Brother Xiaoyu, take me down!"
Before the helicopter had completely landed, she asked the two men to lower her down.
After estimating the distance, she immediately raised her hand and released the cruise ship from the space.
Mu Mu landed the helicopter on the deck with precision and clean movements.
They had just stood firm on the deck and Zhou Shuwan had not had time to retract his plane when the changes in the sky began to intensify.
The grayish-white clouds seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, rolling and spinning, and a cold breath filled the air.
The temperature around him dropped suddenly, and the white mist exhaled quickly condensed in the air.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and ice spikes about one meter long shot out from the clouds like spears, coming straight towards them with a whistling sound.
Qi Mingyu reacted the fastest. He shouted, "Everyone gather together!"
Zhou Shuwan acted almost at the same time, putting the helicopter into space with one hand and throwing out two shields with the other.
It is a special defensive weapon made of boiling point alloy. It is light in weight and hard enough to withstand high-intensity impact.
Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu caught the shields accurately and immediately raised them up, protecting Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Shuwan in the middle.
The rain of icicles poured down like a torrential downpour, as dense as a giant net of death.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
The ice spikes hit the shield with a dull and powerful sound, and the impact made the two men's arms slightly numb.
But they gritted their teeth and did not back down at all.
Zhou Shuwan quickly took out the third shield from the space, and the three of them held the shields above their heads, forming a semicircular defensive circle.
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai also reached out to help stabilize the shield to prevent it from being overturned by the huge impact force.
The deck beneath our feet is also under threat.
From time to time, icicles would pierce down, but the surface of the deck was covered with boiling point alloy, so the icicles could only leave a white mark on it before being bounced off and falling to the side.
"Move slowly towards the hatch!" Qi Mingyu shouted in the biting wind and rain.
While resisting the attacks of the ice spikes, they slowly moved towards the cabin.
Every step must be taken with caution, because if someone slips, the entire defense circle may be breached.
The air grew colder, and the exhaled mist formed a thin layer of frost under the shield.
Suddenly, a particularly huge ice spike came whistling from the sky, carrying a more terrifying force than the other ice spikes.
It hit Mu Mu's shield directly, making a deafening sound.
Mu Mu groaned, his arms numb from the shock, and he almost let go of the shield.
"I'll do it!" Zhou Shuwan immediately stepped forward, used his shoulder to support the shield, and helped him share the impact.
Qi Mingyu took this opportunity to quickly turn his body to the side and tilt the shield slightly, so that the ice spikes could slide to the side and reduce the direct impact.
Although this method is effective, it requires extremely high skills.
In this way, the five people moved towards the cabin with difficulty under the fierce attack of the ice rain.
Every meter forward feels like crossing a life-or-death checkpoint.
Finally, after persisting for nearly ten minutes, they saw the location of the hatch.
Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath and shouted, "Quick! Let's rush in together!"
The five of them exerted force at the same time, speeding up their movement.
Just as they were about to enter the cabin, the last wave of ice rain suddenly became more violent.
"boom--"
A piece of ice spike hit Zhou Shuwan's shield hard, and she was shocked and took a step back.
Fortunately, Qi Mingyu was quick-witted and grabbed her arm and pulled her into the cabin.
"Bang!" The hatch was slammed shut, isolating the cabin from the ice outside.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Sweat and frost intertwined on their faces, forming a picture of embarrassment but relief.
Through the porthole, they saw that the icicle rain outside was still continuing, and the deck was already covered with dense icicle fragments, reflecting the cold light.
In fact, the normal temperature has now risen to more than 20 degrees, but when the ice rain falls, the temperature will drop sharply.
Just now, outside, the temperature should have been between zero and five degrees.
Everyone faced the attack of ice rain and frost, and everyone was trembling slightly.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m exhausted or because the weather is too cold.
But everyone is very fortunate.
They escaped disaster again.
