Phi-Fic Chapter 1063
Chapter 1063
The sea water shrouded in brown mist was like a big pot that was slowly heating up, and their cruise ship was like a leaf in the pot.
But they had no other choice.
The Zhou family was pinned to the spot by Zhou Shuwan's deduction.
No one wanted to believe that the sea would boil so quickly, but the salt frost condensed on the deck and the continuously rising water temperature were silently confirming the truth.
Xue Wuwen told them that when she died in her previous life, the world was already a boiling ocean, and she committed suicide out of desperation.
It now appears that various natural disasters are slowly heading towards a boiling sea phenomenon.
Zhong Tiyun squatted on the ground, looking at the breadfruit rolling on the ground, her eyes were red but she had no intention of picking them up.
Compared to food, the most important thing is whether you can save your life.
Zhou Jianghai took a deep breath, patted Zhong Tiyun on the shoulder, and swept his eyes over everyone. He said decisively, "There's no point in being afraid. Now we have to find the mothership, gather the manpower and technology, and then we can build the mid-air fortress before the sea boils."
He looked at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, his tone more determined than before, "Wanwan, Xiaoyu, let's continue to head towards Island 2. Even if we only have one last breath left, we must catch up with Captain Chen and the others."
"Yes!" Zhong Tiyun also nodded.
Mu Mu was unusually silent and squatted down to help his mother pick up the breadfruit scattered on the ground.
For the next ten days, the cruise ship moved slowly in the brown sea of fog like a tired giant beast.
The salt fog was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and suddenly dissipated for three days, revealing the gray sky and the sea with a cold glow.
Everyone was very happy at that time, thinking that they had finally escaped the range of the thick fog.
At that time, their mood was finally not so depressed, and they were also cheered up from the blow of the impending sea boiling.
After they cleaned the cruise ship inside and out, Zhou Shuwan took out the hot pot items from the space and had a hot pot meal.
There are various beef and mutton slices, meatballs, and various vegetarian dishes, more than a dozen in total.
Finally, there is rice and noodles to go with it.
Zhou Shuwan even took out a can of beer, and both men and women drank a bottle to relieve stress.
It had been a long time since everyone had eaten such a rich dish, and they ate with great relish.
However, this relief did not last long.
On the fourth day, brown fog rolled in from the sea level again, like a huge net, wrapping the cruise ship tightly again.
This time, no one complained, no one felt lost, only numb silence remained.
The first thing I do when I wake up every day is to put on my heavy acid rainproof suit and check the sealing strips of the cabin.
When eating, you have to open the mask a little and stuff food into your mouth quickly, for fear that the salt spray will get in.
While driving in shifts at night, looking at the unchanging fog outside the window, even time becomes blurred.
Zhou Shuwan, Qi Mingyu, Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu took turns guarding the cockpit. Most of the time they just looked ahead silently. Only when they occasionally measured the water temperature would they exchange worried glances.
The sea surface temperature has gradually risen to 34 degrees.
This temperature is really not low.
It was not until the evening of the fifteenth day, when Zhou Shuwan was staring at the compass to adjust the direction, that he suddenly felt that the fog in front of him had thinned a little.
It was not the temporary dissipation as before, but like smoke blown away by the wind, the sky behind it was gradually revealed.
She straightened up suddenly, rubbed her eyes, and saw that the fog was really receding. She immediately called out to Qi Mingyu: "Look! The fog is dissipating!"
Qi Mingyu stood up instantly and moved to the porthole. He saw the brown fog receding at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sky slowly turned light gray, and even the vague outline of the sea level could be seen in the distance.
He showed a look of relief: "The salt spray has really receded..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shuwan turned around and ran out of the cabin. The remaining salt grains on the deck made a crackling sound as she stepped on them, and she ran towards the wind that finally came out.
She opened her arms and took a deep breath.
There is no pungent saltiness as before, only the moist coolness that comes with the sea breeze.
Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu in the cabin heard the noise and hurried out.
Zhong Tiyun raised her hand to wipe her face, her eyes reddened as she smiled: "Finally I made it out. If I had stayed in the fog any longer, I would have almost forgotten what color the sky was."
Zhou Jianghai walked to the side of the ship and looked down at the sea in the distance.
From where they were, they could still see the direction they had just rushed out from, but it was still foggy and the details were unclear.
But here, the sky is clear and everything is visible.
Just now, Zhou Shuwan discovered that in the direction where the fog was dispersing, there seemed to be a clearly defined barrier in the middle.
Over there is brown salt fog, representing despair and the end of the world.
Here is a clear blue sky, representing hope and new life!
"How strange!" Zhou Jianghai murmured, "This boundary seems to be man-made."
"Yeah, it looks unreal. When we went back before, we didn't find anything and just barged in."
At this moment, Zhou Shuwan suddenly closed his eyes, his fingertips trembling slightly.
She tried to extend her perception outward, through the layers of water, across the surging waves, and actually felt...
She suddenly opened her eyes, her face filled with unprecedented surprise. "Found it! The mothership is really on Island 2! I can feel it, in that direction!"
"Really?" Zhou Jianghai came closer and looked in the direction she pointed. Although he only saw the vast sea, he was still very excited.
Zhou Shuwan smiled widely, "It seems our guess was correct. The mothership has indeed returned to Island 2."
On the one hand, there is nowhere to go.
On the other hand, it is also to enable them to find it back.
Mu Mu calculated the distance and frowned. "It'll take at least half a month to get from here to Island 2, but we don't have enough fuel..."
The fuel they stole from He Chengshi is now almost gone.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuwan’s space can now be opened 1-2 times.
She can directly transfer the fuel in the space into the cruise ship's fuel tank.
Listening to the gurgling sound coming from the cruise ship's fuel reserve tank.
The joy on everyone's face became even more pronounced.
Although a lot of weapons were consumed at He Chengshi's hands, Zhou Jianghai was also injured and it took him several days to recover.
But it is useful.
At least they didn't waste two or three months of time and returned as quickly as possible.
It seems that everything is moving in the right direction.
Zhou Shuwan watched the pointer of the fuel gauge slowly climb up, and the stone in his heart finally fell halfway.
The sky outside the window was still bright, but looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
The sea breeze blew into the cabin with the salty smell of the sea water, which was no longer as choking as before.
Zhong Tiyun reheated the breadfruit and fried a large pot of rice noodles and distributed them to everyone.
This time, everyone enjoyed the meal with great relish.
They were getting closer and closer to Island No. 2, closer and closer to the mothership, and closer and closer to the hope of survival.
