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

Chapter 1054

Zhou Shuwan's heart sank suddenly.

She thought more about the fact that the two captains had decided to build an aerial fortress on the island because the island could serve as their only piece of solid land.

But now we know that the salt content of the sea water is so high that even hard rocks cannot withstand it, and the foundation of the island must not be safe.

"That island... is really unusable?" Zhou Jianghai also reacted, with regret in his tone.

Zhou Shuwan nodded gently. "Not only is it unusable, I'm afraid it's even unsafe. The seawater has such a high salinity, who knows if there will be more extreme changes in the future? It might not be long before even the island's reefs are corroded further, making it dangerous to even land on it."

Mu Mu added, "Also, the high-salt environment is not good for ships. If our ship bottoms are soaked here for a long time, the anti-rust coating on the hull will soon lose its effectiveness. We need to leave this sea area as soon as possible, otherwise if something goes wrong with the ship, it will be a big trouble."

Qi Mingyu glanced at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, forget about staying here. Let's make the most of today to inspect the ship and recount the fresh water and supplies. We'll set off early tomorrow morning, leaving this high-salt sea area first, and then slowly search for the mothership."

"it is good!"

Everyone takes their own actions.

Zhou Shuwan stood on the deck, looking at the deep blue sea in front of him.

Qi Mingyu stood beside her, also a little confused: "If Captain Chen and the others were forced to leave, they should have squeezed out some time to leave us some clues. How could they be left with nothing?"

Zhou Shuwan pondered, "Maybe they left in such a hurry? Or maybe they didn't even know where they were going! That's why they didn't leave a single word."

In such a vast ocean, if there were no navigation bug like Zhou Shuwan, once the connection was lost, it would probably be extremely difficult to find each other.

Zhou Shuwan's spatial perception ability has not yet fully recovered. She could only rely on vague direction perception to bring her family back.

Now, asking her to sense the mothership that has escaped to some corner of the vast ocean is really too much to ask.

Qi Mingyu patted Zhou Shuwan's shoulder and said, "We have no other choice but to search slowly."

Zhou Shuwan suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaoyu, how's the temperature recently?"

Qi Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant.

Indeed, the temperature has been rising recently. Although the rise is slow, one can still clearly feel the change in perceived temperature.

"It's probably 30 degrees Celsius already."

"I wonder if we'll be able to build the mid-air fortress in time?" Zhou Shuwan said solemnly. "And what about the disaster that forced the entire warship to evacuate urgently? What on earth was that?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head: "It's definitely related to the rapid increase in salt content."

They were not curious for long, and soon they felt the power of the disaster firsthand.

Two days after they sailed out of the vicinity of the island, Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai were driving the cruise ship.

Mu Mu was patrolling on the deck, while Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun were resting in the lounge.

The five of them must take turns to rest and be on duty to ensure the safety of the entire cruise ship.

Mu Mu suddenly ran to the cockpit with a terrified look on his face: "Did you see that? Look ahead."

Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai have already seen it.

I saw that above the originally clear sea surface, a layer of gray mist had risen at some point.

The fog was not the watery white like ordinary sea fog, but rather a turbid light brown color, and was spreading towards the cruise ship at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What's going on?" Zhou Jianghai stood up first, walked quickly to the porthole, and just as he was about to push the window open, Mu Mu suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The boy's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Don't open the window! There must be something wrong with this fog!"

He had never seen fog of such a strange color.

Even the thick fog containing blood-sucking worms was white.

"Mumu, go tell Mom and Wanwan to be careful. Do we have any gas masks? Bring them over and put them on first."

Qi Mingyu looked at the brown mist drifting over from afar, and actually he had already guessed what was going on.

The reason why the salt content in the sea near the island has increased significantly must be due to this strange fog.

So, you can imagine how high the salt content of this fog is.

Mu Mu nodded and ran out in a hurry.

He quickly woke up Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Shuwan, and gave them each a gas mask.

Then he put it on himself and went to the cockpit to give it to Qi Mingyu and the others.

Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun had been on duty all night and were feeling dizzy and not very clear-headed.

However, when she saw the thick brown fog outside through the gap in the window, she immediately woke up completely: "Mom, put on the mask quickly, something is wrong outside."

Zhong Tiyun also squeezed over to look, looking sleepy.

When she saw this, her eyes widened: "What, what's going on?"

Zhou Shuwan shook his head, his expression solemn: "This fog is related to the rapid increase in the salinity of the seawater!"

Before she finished speaking, she immediately thought of something and hurriedly said, "Mom, let's go and close all the windows and doors tightly to prevent the fog from coming in."

“But…” Zhong Tiyun wanted to say that most of the supplies were in Zhou Shuwan’s space, but when she saw the serious look on his face as he looked out the window, she swallowed her words and nodded vigorously: “Okay!”

The two of them quickly went to close all the windows and doors on the cruise ship that were not tightly closed.

Mu Mu had already taken some plastic sheets from the inventory, and everyone worked together to seal the gaps between the windows and door frames to prevent the fog from entering the ship.

Qi Mingyu and his team had also changed course, trying to avoid the brown fog.

However, after changing direction, they discovered that the entire sea was covered with this brown fog.

They have nowhere to hide.

All they could do was watch helplessly as the fog spread silently like a ghost, engulfing the entire cruise ship.

There was a faint sound of something banging on the cabin shell, as if something had climbed onto the cruise ship.

Everyone was terrified when they heard those noises.

At this time, Zhou Shuwan and the other three had just reached the fifth floor.

They looked at each other, their expressions filled with fear of the unknown.

Although the window in front of Zhou Shuwan was covered with a layer of boiling point alloy for protection, he could still clearly see the scene outside the window.

I saw some brown crystals quickly spreading over the transparent glass, so dense that they almost covered the entire window.

"This is……"

Mu Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhong Tiyun had already shouted: "It looks like sea salt! It's sea salt!"
