Phi-Fic Chapter 1184
Chapter 1184
"The Kunlun and Nanyang ships had almost identical personnel and ship configurations at the time, but in the end, only 2,000 people survived on the Kunlun, while 7,000 people survived on the Nanyang."
Lin Wei's voice carried a barely perceptible hint of excitement: "Most of this is thanks to Zhou Shuwan's early warning! Without her, the Nanyang ship's losses would not have been any less than ours!"
"Also, if we don't find the Nanyang ship and the mid-air fortress in time, we'll probably be facing a food shortage crisis soon!"
But the Nanyang ship did not have such troubles, because they had found a group of frozen whales when the sea was frozen, and they brought all of these whales back, numbering in the hundreds!
That's enough to feed them for seventy or eighty years! And the person who led them to the whale pod was Zhou Shuwan!
Zhou Shuwan slowly opened her eyes in her own house.
Her eyes were cold, and a chilling smile played on her lips.
Very well, she originally thought that people came for her man or for Xiao Sheng's talent.
Little did she expect that the other party's real prey was herself.
My palms clenched without me even realizing it.
In the apocalypse, any ability that is different from that of ordinary people is a double-edged sword. It can become armor for self-protection, or it can become bait that leads to death.
She always understood this principle, which is why she took every step carefully, disguising her space as "experienced" and "talented," but in the end, she still couldn't escape the scrutiny of those with ulterior motives.
"Wanwan? What happened?"
Qi Mingyu knew Zhou Shuwan's personality all too well. She was always calm and reserved, and rarely showed such a sharp and ruthless expression. Something must have happened.
The two had been married for many years, and Zhou Shuwan trusted him completely.
And Qi Mingyu has never betrayed this trust.
So Zhou Shuwan didn't hide anything from him and told him everything she had heard in the conversation.
The moment the words left his mouth, the air pressure around Qi Mingyu suddenly dropped.
His once gentle eyes instantly darkened, his expression becoming exceptionally sharp. The murderous aura emanating from his very bones made the temperature in the entire room seem to drop several degrees.
Zhou Shuwan was slightly taken aback.
Over the years, except for a very few times when he fought to the death with the enemy, she had almost never seen such a sharp expression on his face.
"That Lin Wei is actually trying to make a move on you again!"
Seeing his anger, Zhou Shuwan felt relieved: "Actually, the fact that we were able to hide for so many years shows that we were careful enough. My abilities are indeed too special, so it's expected that I would be noticed and discovered, and even targeted by people with ulterior motives."
She had long been prepared for her secret to be revealed, but she never expected it to happen so quickly and so unexpectedly.
Qi Mingyu remained silent, but gripped her hand even tighter.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with unwavering determination: "Pay close attention to their movements lately, especially Lin Wei. Don't contact her alone, and be careful in everything you do."
"Don't worry, I will. You will too." Zhou Shuwan nodded solemnly.
Qi Mingyu gazed at her, the sharpness in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by an unyielding tenderness.
He thought that no matter the cost, he would not let anyone disrupt their hard-won peaceful life.
Even if the other party is Lin Wei, whom the teacher treats like a daughter, he will never show mercy.
In fact, Zhou Shuwan, like him, was indifferent to fame and fortune.
For them, fame and fortune are fleeting; what matters most is being able to stay with their families and live peacefully.
Therefore, after doing so much for the South Sea Fleet and saving so many lives, Zhou Shuwan was still willing to live like an ordinary survivor, never deliberately pursuing status, power, or a voice in the base.
But the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease; Lin Wei's appearance undoubtedly shattered this tranquility.
Qi Mingyu thought of Captain Qin's current identity.
As the deputy captain of the base, second only to the commander, and with Lin Wei being a junior he highly values, this matter will probably not be resolved so easily.
He frowned and looked at Zhou Shuwan: "What was Captain Qin's reaction at the time? What did he mean?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head: "Captain Qin seemed very shocked just now, and even questioned Lin Wei about how she knew all this. Lin Wei said she heard it from some navy personnel who were pursuing her and ordinary survivors."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I haven't hidden my abilities much. I've led everyone out of danger time and time again, and searched for hot springs, minerals, and islands. Everyone in the cockpit has witnessed this."
She told Qi Mingyu about the search for the whale pod, and Qi Mingyu carefully guided everyone to find it, trying to divert attention as much as possible away from Zhou Shuwan.
They were successful.
Almost no one has ever doubted that the discovery of the whale pod was related to Zhou Shuwan.
But Lin Wei figured it out herself.
Qi Mingyu's gaze darkened. Lin Wei's mind was so meticulous that she could even deduce such details, which showed how deep her cunning was.
Captain Qin asked Lin Wei what she was going to do next.
Lin Wei's tone was very serious, saying that there were two people on the Nanyang ship who had the talent to break through human limits, and there must be some kind of pattern to this.
She wanted to find this pattern so that more ordinary people could also possess this talent, thereby increasing their chances of survival in the apocalypse.
After listening to her, Captain Qin told her to go back first, saying he needed to think about it.
consider?
A cold glint flashed in Qi Mingyu's eyes.
He knew all too well that these so-called researchers would often resort to any means necessary in pursuit of so-called "truth".
Lin Wei's ambition was obvious, but Captain Qin's attitude was so ambiguous that he had to be wary.
Seeing his angry expression, Zhou Shuwan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and gently leaned on his shoulder: "Don't be angry. What we can do now is to figure out what to do next!"
They certainly couldn't let Lin Wei expose her secret to the public.
However, how to deal with her is something we need to think about carefully.
She is now a researcher who is highly respected and trusted by everyone at the base!
She also had a deep friendship with people like Captain Qin and Tao Zheng.
This is completely different from the subordinates who killed Xue Wuwen back then.
One wrong move and you'll suffer the consequences!
"Let's closely monitor Lin Wei and Captain Qin's actions first, and then make our move after we've discussed it!" Qi Mingyu's voice was calm yet decisive.
Looking at his expression, Zhou Shuwan slowly nodded: "Okay!"
That day, she focused all her energy on Lin Wei.
For the next two days, everything seemed to be the same as usual.
Lin Wei still goes to the research institute on time, and after get off work she goes to Tao's house to accompany Xiao Sheng, teaching him to do handicrafts and recognize plant specimens, with incredible patience.
