Chapter 902
Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and remained skeptical of these words.
She recalled the more than two months it took to make the journey back and forth. The scene of the ice collapse was still vivid in her mind, cracks opened, and icebergs rose high...
If there is a safe place, where is it?
After eating something, the rescue workers got up one after another. The finishing work here has been completed, and they are preparing to return to the mother ship today.
So Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu decided to go back with the main group.
Although it was called a large force, there were only about fifty people left to deal with the aftermath.
Together they packed up tents, supplies and rescue tools and placed them on carts and pull carts.
Several people took turns pulling the cart, and the wheels made a squeaking sound on the ice.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu only needed to carry their own backpacks and follow the team.
Walking on the island, the devastated scene is shocking.
The cold wind, which was dozens of degrees below zero, blew in my face with ice chips, and the devastation in front of me looked even more hideous in the cold.
Most of the stone houses that once stood there had collapsed in half. The thick stone walls looked like biscuits broken into pieces by a giant. Sharp-edged stones mixed with frozen soil formed small hills. The ice shells on the broken walls were shining with cold, as if applying a layer of pale scab to the wounds.
The wooden houses were in an even worse state. The entire building tilted and sank into the frozen and cracked ground. The broken beams were frozen in the ice, and the exposed wood stumps were wrapped in ice spikes, like rows of sharp teeth.
The ice beneath my feet was so thick that I could see the frozen gravel and twisted steel bars underneath. Every step I took made a dull "crunching" sound, as if a bottomless crack would appear at any time.
The dead trees by the roadside were broken in half by the shock, and the broken parts were covered with frozen dark brown sap, like coagulated blood.
The fishing net that was originally tied to the tree trunk was stuck into a hard ball by the ice, and there were several pieces of broken glass stuck in the mesh.
Occasionally, a few soldiers in winter clothing could be seen digging in the ruins, their pickaxes hitting the frozen rubble, making crisp and harsh echoes.
Zhou Shuwan originally thought that the rescue was over. Just as he was wondering, he saw them pulling out some things buried under the rubble.
Then she suddenly realized that they were here to look for supplies that could still be used.
Some tools, food, daily necessities, etc. should be used less and less.
So, while the geology is still relatively stable, we quickly dug up the rubble and picked up more.
Zhou Shuwan felt depressed and very uncomfortable.
The bitter cold locked the moment of the disaster, and also added a bit of bone-chilling sadness to the scars of this land.
They walked in silence, taking careful steps for fear of stepping on the unstable ice.
Their target was the mothership. Although the straight-line distance was not far, the actual journey took twice as long as usual because they had to go around countless cracks and ruins.
Finally, after bypassing the last huge ice crack, the mothership appeared in their sight.
The mothership's hull is still inlaid with a thick layer of ice, as if it were wrapped in a layer of transparent gem.
But in most places where people are active, the ice has been flattened, revealing a metallic luster.
Fortunately, the position of the mothership had not changed dramatically a few days ago, except for some bulges and cracks in the surrounding ice.
The mothership is huge in tonnage, and these small-scale collapses do not have much impact on it.
At this moment, all the survivors are taking refuge on this mothership.
But in fact, most people know that they are hiding here and the risk factor is very high!
Danger may come in the next second!
All of them are gambling, gambling for a chance to survive!
If you have to sleep outdoors in the wilderness with temperatures exceeding 70 degrees below zero, it is better to just stay in a warm bed!
