Chapter 879
Zhou Shuwan's face was also a little pale, but her eyes remained calm: "Go around to the back of the island and see if you can find a safe route."
Major Wei nodded and immediately ordered: "The ships will detour and try to enter the island from the rear!"
The fleet slowly adjusted its direction and headed towards the rear of the island.
However, the scene behind was equally shocking.
The ice is covered with huge cracks, and the icebergs are stacked layer upon layer, like an insurmountable maze.
At this moment, Major Wei suddenly narrowed his eyes and pointed at a patch of ice in the distance: "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction his finger was pointing, and saw the wreckage of several ships half-buried in the ice on the distant ice field, the hulls broken into two, and the huge cracks were shocking.
The scene before them made everyone gasp.
The wreckage of the ship lay quietly on the ice field like a torn giant beast. The steel plates at the broken parts of the hull were twisted and deformed, as if they were torn apart by some huge force.
The iceberg stood abruptly beside the wreckage of the ship, like a sharp blade suddenly pulled out from the bottom of the sea, cold and sharp.
"Could it be that the suddenly rising iceberg cut the ship in half before it had time to dodge?" Mu Mu murmured in a low voice, with a hint of shock and fear in his eyes.
Major Wei frowned, his eyes swept over the wreckage, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to stay alert: "Be careful of the surrounding terrain, the danger may still exist at any time."
Zhou Shuwan stood aside with a calm look.
She had sensed the changes in this area long before.
There have been drastic changes here, with icebergs rising and huge cracks tearing into the ice sheet, as if the entire seabed was in turmoil.
Fortunately, however, no similar commotion occurred beneath the island.
But although she seems calm on the surface, she still dares not let her guard down in her heart.
"Let's go to a flat place and dock first." Major Wei ordered the fleet to adjust its direction and slowly sail towards the other side of the island.
The fleet carefully navigated the icebergs and finally landed in a relatively flat area.
When the ship docked, the sound of the whistle echoed on the silent ice field, sounding particularly harsh.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance.
Everyone looked up and saw many people pouring out from the direction of the underground base.
Walking in the front was Captain Shang, his steps steady and powerful. His eyes swept over everyone, finally landing on the huge group of whales behind them.
His face was startled at first, then he revealed an excitement that was hard to conceal: "You guys have gained a lot from this trip!"
Major Wei quickly scanned the crowd and saw that most people were moving freely and showed no signs of injury, so his worries were slightly relieved.
He quickly walked up to Captain Shang, gave a standard military salute, and said in a loud voice: "Captain, we have lived up to everyone's expectations and brought back a batch of important supplies!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Shang showed a rare smile on his face and said "OK" three times in a row, with a hint of joy in his voice.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Zhou Shuwan looked into the crowd and immediately saw Qi Mingyu supporting his parents and their concerned eyes.
Mu Mu pulled her arm, with a hint of excitement in her voice: "Sister, look, it's my parents and brother-in-law!"
Zhou Shuwan looked in the direction of Mu Mu's finger and saw his parents and Qi Mingyu standing in the crowd, their eyes full of anticipation.
Although they were in the process of handing over and could not go through, their eyes met in the crowded crowd, as if silently conveying their thoughts to each other.
After Major Wei finished reporting to Captain Shang, Captain Shang sent someone to receive the whale group.
Then he turned his gaze to Zhou Shuwan, with a look of gratitude in his eyes: "Doctor Zhou, I heard that it was thanks to you that they were able to return safely this time!"
There were so many people around and everyone was listening, so Major Wei didn't say much. He just whispered to Captain Shang that they were able to return safely this time thanks to Zhou Shuwan's guidance.
As for the rest, he planned to talk about it during the individual report.
But this did not prevent Captain Shang from being grateful to Zhou Shuwan.
It is no exaggeration to say that in peacetime, these death squads rushing to the front line rarely send female soldiers, let alone in the end times when women are extremely rare and precious.
And Zhou Shuwan is not a soldier yet!
However, for the sake of the lives of everyone on the ship, he discussed with Captain Chen and decided to tell Zhou Shuwan their plan, speaking sincerely from the perspective of reason and the overall situation.
It seemed to give Zhou Shuwan room to refuse.
But in fact, she didn’t give her much!
Therefore, it was not surprising for them when Zhou Shuwan agreed after careful consideration.
At this moment, after hearing Captain Shang's words, Zhou Shuwan nodded slightly, his expression calm, without a trace of pride or boasting:
"The danger this time was beyond my expectations. I'll have completed my mission if I can bring everyone back safely. I also want to thank the two captains and Major Wei for their trust."
Captain Shang smiled, reached out and patted Mu Mu's shoulder, with a hint of approval in his tone: "This kid has been out training for almost three months, and it seems that he has made a lot of progress."
Mu Mu smiled calmly, with a hint of confidence in his tone: "Yes, Captain Shang, I saw a lot and learned a lot during this trip."
Captain Shang nodded, his eyes sweeping over everyone, his tone light with a hint of relief: "Okay, then you can go back and spend time with your families. Everyone is eager to go home!"
Only then did Zhou Shuwan take Mu Mu away from the main group and head towards his family.
As soon as the two sides meet, they both have something to ask each other.
Zhong Tiyun quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Shuwan's hand, and looked her up and down, her eyes full of worry: "Wanwan, did you encounter any danger outside? Are you injured?"
Zhou Shuwan smiled slightly, patted her mother's hand soothingly, and said cheerfully, "Mom, we're fine. Although it was a little dangerous outside, everyone is back safely."
"Are you really okay?" Zhong Tiyun was still worried, her eyes flicking back and forth between Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu, "Don't lie to me, you two."
Mu Mu smiled and raised her hands, making a healthy gesture: "Mom, look, I'm fine! I'm not hurt at all."
"That's good, that's good." Zhong Tiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and held the two children's hands tightly, as if afraid that they would leave again.
Zhou Jianghai stood aside, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of concern.
He looked at Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu, and said in a steady tone: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Qi Mingyu stood aside, looking at Zhou Shuwan tenderly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes conveyed all his concern.
His concern has always been gentle and restrained.
