Chapter 880
Under his gentle gaze, Zhou Shuwan's heart, which had just been excited, felt inexplicably shy. She lowered her eyes slightly, but then bravely raised her head and looked straight at him.
Her eyes are as bright as ever!
Qi Mingyu smiled gently.
This time, Zhou Shuwan turned around and asked everyone, "What's going on on the island? On our way back, we saw several ships cut in half. Has the island been affected?"
Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai looked at each other, with a complicated look on their faces.
Zhong Tiyun sighed lightly, with a hint of fear in her eyes: "This is a long story, let's go home first and talk about it slowly."
Qi Mingyu interjected, his tone gentle: "Let's go, we can talk on the way."
At this time, the soldiers were busy unloading the whale and dragging the huge carcass towards the warehouse.
Those whales were like small mountains, pressing down on the ice and making a crackling sound.
There was a faint fishy smell in the air, and occasionally the crisp sound of ice breaking could be heard, as if the ice field might collapse again at any time.
The Zhou family members were not assigned any tasks, so they went back on their own.
Along the way, Mu Mu first told Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai in detail about their experiences outside. Although there were several thrilling encounters, everyone was safe in the end.
Zhong Tiyun was frightened when she heard this. She interrupted Mu Mu from time to time and repeatedly confirmed their safety.
"Oh, you kids are such a worry!" Zhong Tiyun couldn't help but complain, but her tone was full of heartache.
Mu Mu smiled and patted her mother's shoulder: "Mom, we are fine, don't worry."
Seeing her mother calm down a bit, Zhou Shuwan continued to ask, "Mom, what happened on the island? We saw the wreckage on the way back, and I felt uneasy."
Zhong Tiyun stopped, her face becoming solemn, and her tone carrying a hint of heaviness: "This is a truly thrilling story. Two months ago, in the middle of the night, we suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside, like a dragon turning over, and the entire underground base was shaking."
"Yes, the noise was terrifyingly loud. We were all awakened." Zhou Jianghai took over the conversation, his brow furrowed. "The warship immediately sent soldiers out to investigate. They brought flashlights that emitted a huge beam of light, and they clearly saw huge changes taking place on the ice sheet surrounding the island. The ground was being torn apart, and icebergs were rising..."
"That scene was like the end of the world." Zhong Tiyun's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the memory still made her feel terrified. "The warship immediately sounded the alarm, and everyone was awakened and began to evacuate in an orderly manner."
Everything was chaotic yet orderly.
Fortunately, the navy maintained order and protected the ordinary survivors. Although everyone was panicked, no one was injured.
The only thing to be thankful for in the end was that the crustal movement on the ice sheet did not affect the island.
Zhong Tiyun nodded, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "It's just that the continuous changes made it impossible for our ships on the ice field to dodge and were cut off in one fell swoop.
As for the motherships, destroyers and other very important ships, they had already moved to relatively flat areas when the ice sheet cracked and bulged, so they were very lucky not to be damaged.
"We didn't even dare to come up those days. We stayed underground all the time." Zhong Tiyun's tone was filled with helplessness. "Xiao Yu, on the other hand, was dragged along to rescue supplies a few times."
After hearing this, Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu, who smiled and suddenly reached out and held her hand naturally.
Zhou Shuwan was slightly startled, but when he looked at the expressions of the other people in the family, no one seemed to notice.
She was relieved and let Qi Mingyu pull her, still listening to her parents talking.
"For the first half month, none of us got enough rest," Zhou Jianghai continued. "We didn't dare rest, fearing a loud bang would cause our underground base to collapse."
