Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 1232

But what about them? They only had a makeshift base pieced together from ships, no islands to use as bases, and insufficient supplies. How did they manage to survive?

This question, no one can answer.

Qi Mingyu shook his head, his tone heavy: "What Captain Chen is most worried about now is that they have managed to survive until now by relying on the ship base, so they must have high-end technology that we don't have."

If they knew we had five interconnected islands and a semi-aerial fortress capable of holding ten thousand people, with ample supplies and a safe and secure environment, the consequences would be unimaginable if they found us.

He looked at Zhou Shuwan, his eyes softening instantly: "Have your headache symptoms improved these past few days?"

Zhou Shuwan understood what he meant and immediately nodded: "It's nothing serious. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll observe the situation around the island every day, and if there's anything unusual, I'll definitely be able to detect it immediately and won't let the base be in danger."

Qi Mingyu looked reluctant, but still nodded and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, Wanwan!"

Now their outposts need to strengthen patrols and monitoring, and with Wanwan's help, there will be no chance of anything going wrong.

He remembered something and added, "There's one more thing. The impact of this tsunami was too great. The mothership and the other twenty-odd ships in the base suffered considerable damage."

The Zhou family members felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The mothership is the foundation for all of them to survive at sea, their last resort. If the mothership is completely destroyed, they will never be able to sail again.

Then these people would truly be trapped on these five small islands. If they were to encounter natural disasters or attacks by alien races in the future, they would have no room to move and would only be able to wait for their deaths.

Zhou Shuwan looked up at Qi Mingyu. Their eyes met, and without saying anything more, they both understood each other's thoughts.

She nodded slowly, her voice soft but firm: "I understand what you mean, the mothership cannot be damaged."

However, if such a large mothership were to be quietly stored away in a spatial dimension, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar and attract countless suspicions if it were discovered.

Therefore, Qi Mingyu also said, "The matter of taking back the mothership is not urgent. We need to wait for a suitable opportunity, completely away from everyone's sight, and without letting anyone notice anything amiss."

Then we can only wait for the next tsunami or heat storm to arrive!

Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun both nodded in agreement.

Wanwan isn't fully recovered yet, so we can't rush things; taking it easy is the top priority.

The afternoon sun grew increasingly scorching.

Zhou Shuwan changed into a brand new air-conditioned outfit and went out with Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu, intending to go to the beach to see the shipwrecks.

She has been staying in the fortress and hasn't gone out for the past few days because of a headache.

As I descended the fortress stairs wearing an air-conditioned suit, a profound sense of bewilderment washed over me the moment my feet touched the island's ground.

Are these still the same few islands she knows?

Five islands are connected, with the largest main island in the middle and four smaller islands surrounding it. The layout remains the same, but the appearance has changed beyond recognition.

The main island and the largest adjacent secondary island form the foundation of the aerial fortress. Countless thick, boiling-point alloy pillars are deeply embedded in the reef, supporting the three-story-high fortress, which hangs seven or eight meters above the ground, insulating it from the scorching heat of the ground and becoming a safe haven for thousands of people to survive.

But the island beneath their feet was completely barren, devoid of any vegetation.

The exposed reefs were baked by the scalding seawater day after day. The originally gray-black reefs now had an eerie scorched yellow color, and the surface was covered with fine cracks, as if they had been burned by a raging fire.

Stepping on it, even through the thick soles of the air-conditioned clothes and shoes, you can faintly feel a scorching heat.

The coastline has long been eroded by the sea, and the once gentle sandy beach is now just an uneven rocky beach.
