Zhou Shuwan turned his head and looked at Mu Mu with gentle but firm eyes: "Mu Mu, you stay here and wait for me. No one knows the situation over there better than me."
Her last words were spoken so softly that only Mu Mu could hear them.
Mu Mu was stunned, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something.
But Zhou Shuwan had already shaken his head at him, indicating that he didn't need to persuade her anymore.
Seeing this, the deputy captain finally made up his mind and nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Doctor Zhou!"
Someone immediately brought the equipment over, and Zhou Shuwan quickly put it on. His movements were quick and decisive, without a trace of drag.
Mu Mu stood aside, looking anxious, and couldn't help but shouting again: "Sister!"
Zhou Shuwan looked up at him and said in a serious tone, "Mu Mu, wait here for me to come back."
Mu Mu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Mu Mu knew that he couldn't stop his sister, so he couldn't let her worry about him anymore, so he took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
At this moment, Mu Mu's expression seemed particularly mature, as if he had grown up a lot in an instant, with an unprecedented calmness and determination.
Zhou Shuwan smiled at him, with a hint of relief in his smile.
Afterwards, she and the deputy captain and his crew quickly got off the boat, put on their ice skates, drew silver-white traces on the ice, and rushed towards the abyss.
The wind howled on the ice field, accompanied by the roar of ice collapse in the distance, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
The second-in-command led the team, staring straight ahead with a serious expression.
Zhou Shuwan followed closely behind with a focused look in his eyes.
"Captain, we have to be careful. The ice may collapse at any time." She warned in a low voice with a hint of alertness in her tone.
The first officer nodded, his eyes still fixed on the front. His voice was low and firm: "Everyone, speed up, stay alert, and be ready to respond to any emergency at any time."
The team members nodded in tacit understanding, and the ice skates on their feet drew smooth arcs on the ice without slowing down at all.
The sound of ice collapse in the distance was getting closer and closer, as if reminding them that time was running out.
As they gradually approached the abyss, the ice beneath their feet began to become unstable, with slight vibrations coming from time to time, as if warning them of the danger ahead.
The first officer frowned, and a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes, but he did not stop, but instead quickened his pace.
"We're almost there!" the first officer whispered, a hint of urgency in his tone.
Zhou Shuwan nodded, his eyes fixed on the front, silently calculating the distance in his mind.
As she leaned forward, her palms lightly touched the ground, and she could easily see everything that was happening in the distance.
Not optimistic!
The ice peeled off layer by layer amid the roar, like silver silk torn apart by an invisible giant hand, breaking into pieces.
The black interior was exposed at the fracture, shining coldly in the dim light.
Each falling piece of ice was as big as a house, making a dull thunderous sound, shaking the ice beneath their feet continuously, as if the earth was whimpering along.
The flying snow foam mixed with ice chips rose into the sky and instantly turned into white mist, wrapping the whole world in chaos.
The wind blew the broken snow past my ears, making a sharp whistle, which intertwined with the roar of the collapsing ice to form a heart-pounding symphony.
As far as the eye can see, there is only blurry and swaying white. The outlines of the mountains in the distance have disappeared, and the ice cracks nearby are constantly expanding due to the vibration, making tiny "cracking" sounds, like some kind of ominous omen.
The vibration spread up through the soles of my shoes, and my knees and below were numb.
The collapse continues, and the ice sheet that was once as solid as land is melting and disintegrating at an alarming rate, but new ice layers are forming.
She knew that Major Wei and the others were deep in the collapsed ice field, waiting for their rescue.
But she hadn't sensed their location yet.
At this moment, the ice in front suddenly shook violently, and the ice under his feet cracked instantly. The cracks spread rapidly, like a huge open mouth.
The second-in-command immediately stopped and shouted, "Be careful!"
The team members quickly stabilized their bodies, and their ice skates drew several arcs on the ice to avoid the spread of cracks.
Zhou Shuwan quickly took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the crack in front of him, his expression solemn.
Spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the ice beneath my feet, spreading in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Occasionally, smaller ice cubes fall from overhead, hitting the ice surface in front of you and breaking into pieces. The splashing ice chips hit your face, bringing a biting chill.
The blast of air created by the falling giant ice body hit people in the face, mixed with the fishy smell of ice and snow, almost suffocating them.
In the foggy vision, all you can see are the rolling white waves and the increasingly wide black abyss where the ice breaks, which seems to swallow everything.
"Get out of the way!" the first officer shouted, a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"The crack is too big, we have to go around it!"
Zhou Shuwan followed the team and swiftly bypassed the crack, continuing to move towards the abyss.
The wind howled on the ice field, accompanied by the sound of ice collapse in the distance, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
On the other side, Major Wei and his team had already rushed to a higher place where the terrain was relatively stable and the ice was collapsing much slower.
Major Wei quickly stopped the team members, breathing heavily, and looked around vigilantly.
"Major, we are safe for now." A team member whispered with a hint of relief in his tone.
Major Wei nodded, his eyes still serious.
He knew that this temporary safety did not mean they were out of danger.
The ice collapse continues and they must find a safe way out as soon as possible.
"We continue to move forward and try to stay away from the collapse area."
The team members nodded and quickly followed Major Wei's pace.
The injured soldier was still being supported, his face pale, and he followed the main force with gritted teeth.
In the snowstorm caused by the collapse of the ice, nine figures struggled forward on the ice field, as if they had merged into one with the world of ice and snow.
Each of them clenched their teeth, their eyes were determined, and their steps were steady, as if declaring to the ice field that no matter what, they would never give up easily.
Zhou Shuwan and the others had already avoided the crack by now. Because they had expended too much energy in dodging just now, they were taking a short rest.
Zhou Shuwan half-knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, breathing heavily, while secretly his spatial ability rapidly unfolded, sensing every subtle change in that area.
The sound of the ice collapsing was like thunder, making her eardrums hurt.
The most serious collapse area ahead is on the east side, and they should cut in from the west side.
The ice there is relatively stable, so you should be able to get through if you're careful.
