Chapter 1131
But the peaceful days didn't last long, and another accident struck the island.
On the fifth day after the Zhou family moved into the fortress, Zhou Shuwan was helping Zhong Tiyun organize supplies, arranging smoked dried fish, dried potatoes, water, and other items on the storage shelf in the corner.
The occasional laughter of children drifted from outside the fortress, mingled with the clanging of construction workers moving solar panels. This hard-won scene of peace and tranquility allowed everyone's tense nerves to relax a little.
Suddenly, a sharp alarm broke the silence of the fortress, its piercing sound penetrating the alloy walls and echoing back and forth in the orderly alleyways.
Zhou Shuwan paused in her movements.
This is a warning alarm; it only sounds when a significant threat is detected.
Qi Mingyu got up almost simultaneously, his eyes instantly turning sharp, and grabbed the weapon on the bedside table: "I'm going out to take a look."
"Wait for me." Zhou Shuwan quickly caught up, grabbing a gun as she went.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw soldiers rapidly assembling on the main road of the fortress. They were wearing heavy protective gear, carrying weapons, and running towards the defensive fortifications at the edge of the fortress, their expressions solemn.
The surrounding residents also poked their heads out of their houses, their faces full of panic and confusion, and whispers rose and fell.
"What's going on? Is it a tsunami?"
"That's not right, the sea level has already dropped, so where did the tsunami come from?"
"Judging from the soldiers' appearance, it seems like the enemy is coming!"
Zhang Jia and Tao Zheng quickly walked over. Tao Zheng held a modified rifle in his hand, his brows furrowed. "Captain, Wanwan, do you know what happened?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head and looked toward the edge of the fortress, where the view was most expansive.
She focused her mind, her gaze piercing through the layers of heat waves, stretching towards the distant sea.
The scorching air distorted the light, making distant objects appear somewhat blurry, but with the aid of her spatial perception, Zhou Shuwan could still clearly see the scene on the distant sea.
At this moment, more than a dozen ships were heading towards Hope Island No. 4.
Leading the fleet was a large civilian cruise ship, followed by a dozen or so small cargo ships and speedboats, linked end to end with thick ropes, forming a huge convoy.
Perhaps due to the excessively high sea temperature, they were not moving fast and were sailing slowly on the sea.
When her gaze focused on the cockpit of the lead cruise ship, her heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her spine.
Inside the cockpit, a familiar figure stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the fortress in mid-air. It was He Chengshi, with whom he had previously engaged in battle!
Qi Mingyu noticed her unusual behavior, but there were people around, including Zhipeng and Xue Tao.
He didn't ask a question, but looked at Zhou Shuwan with slight concern.
Zhou Shuwan gently shook her head: "I'm just wondering why anyone would come here!"
Zhang Jia, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Yes, who are they? Are they here with good or bad intentions?"
"We're ready too!" Tao Zheng looked at the group: "Jiajia, you, Wanwan, and your aunt come inside. We adult men will prepare our weapons!"
Everyone else nodded solemnly.
It's no wonder everyone was on high alert; they had finally found such a safe place to live, so of course they wanted to protect it to the greatest extent possible!
Once her family members entered the house, Zhou Shuwan lowered her voice and said, "It's He Chengshi. He's come looking for us with his fleet."
"What?!" Mu Mu's voice suddenly rose, then quickly fell back down, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How could he have found this place? We clearly shook him off, and we deliberately took detours the whole way, leaving no trace!"
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun's expressions turned extremely ugly.
Zhong Tiyun clenched her fists: "This heartless bastard is still alive!"
At the time, the other party was injured, and although they did not continue to harm him, they also did not provide him with much medical treatment.
