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

Chapter 1019

The sea surface after the tsunami receded was like a piece of gray cloth that was crumpled and barely flattened. Fine foam slowly slid down the side of the cruise ship and accumulated into puddles with a salty smell on the deck.

Qi Mingyu stood on the observation deck on top of the cockpit and scanned the surrounding sea level with a telescope.

There was only a vague mist flowing at the junction of the sky and the sea. There were no sharp corners of sails, no trails of smoke, and no traces of human activities.

"Still nothing." He walked down the lookout tower, his voice a little dry due to the sea breeze.

Zhou Jianghai, squatting on the deck checking the wear of the tow rope, looked up and around. "The waves are so strong they've pushed us at least six nautical miles southeast. Even if there's a wreck nearby, it's probably out of sight by now."

Mu Mu was squatting beside the container, flipping through the books. The bloodstains on his forehead had solidified into dark red scabs. He heard the conversation between the two and was about to stand up and say something, but Zhou Shuwan gently held his shoulder.

"Don't move, take care of the wound first."

Just now, everyone's attention was on the container and the sea. They only saw blood on Mu Mu's face, and no one cared about the depth of the wound.

Until this moment, Zhou Shuwan asked Zhong Tiyun to bring the first aid kit on the cruise ship to help him treat his wounds.

She soaked a cotton swab with saline solution and gently wiped away the blood scab on Mu Mu's forehead, revealing the hideous wound completely.

The cut, about three fingers wide, extended from below the brow bone to the temple, like a gaping red seam, with the flesh at the edge rolled up, and in the deepest part one could even see the white outline of the skull.

Everyone gasped!

"Hiss--" Mu Mu couldn't help but let out a groan when the cotton swab touched the edge of the wound.

But he was worried that his family would be sad for him, so he immediately grinned again, trying to hide the pain: "Sister, Dad, Mom, it's okay, it's just a minor injury. The injuries I suffered before were much more serious than this! Don't worry!"

Zhou Shuwan's hand paused, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"It's so deep you can see the bone, and you still say it's okay?" Zhong Tiyun's voice trembled, with suppressed heartache: "It was so dangerous just now, the wound should have been treated as soon as possible! What if the wound was a little more to the side and hurt the eye?"

Mu Mu saw that her sister and mother's eyes were red, and she was suddenly a little panicked. She hurriedly explained clumsily: "Mom, sister, I really don't feel any pain. At that time, my mind was full of notifying you that the tsunami was coming, and then I thought about helping my brother-in-law fix the operating lever. How could I care about the pain?"

Zhong Tiyun wiped the corners of her eyes and complained, "You have been stubborn since you were young. You always take care of everything by yourself. If Wanwan hadn't remembered to treat your wound, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret."

Mumu just grinned.

Zhou Shuwan helped Mu Mu treat the wound, wrapped it with layers of gauze, and then put waterproof tape on the outside.

"Don't touch water or do anything too strenuous these few days. I will change your dressing every day."

Mu Mu nodded obediently, like an obedient primary school student.

After helping Mu Mu treat his wound, everyone started to think about what to do next!

In fact, they looked around and found no signs of a wrecked ship or human activity. At this time, they should have taken a submarine to the bottom of the sea to see if there were any signs of piled containers.

However, the submarine they had used before was now badly damaged and needed to be repaired before it could continue to go to sea.

Since Zhou Shuwan's space could not be opened, they could not use the second submarine.

Then, they couldn't go to the bottom of the sea.

In effect, they were trapped here, unable to go anywhere.

Qi Mingyu thought about it and said, "Actually, the diving suits in our submarine are normal. I can put them on and dive into the sea..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhong Tiyun strongly objected: "No, it's too dangerous! There are so many disasters at sea now. If something happens, Xiaoyu, you go down alone and there won't even be a chance for rescue!"

"Mom, I know it's dangerous, but this is the only way right now." Qi Mingyu said patiently, "The oxygen supply system and pressure-resistant layer of the diving suit are both working properly. I only dived to 200 meters, which is the depth at which the container might float. If there's anything unusual, I'll surface immediately."

Mu Mu sat on a wooden box on the deck, with gauze wrapped tightly around her forehead, revealing only a pair of surprisingly bright eyes.

Hearing this, he struggled to stand up: "Brother-in-law, I'll go down with you!"

But Zhou Shuwan mercilessly held him down and said, "Don't move. Your wound has just been treated. The deep sea pressure can tear it open again."

"But my brother-in-law is going down alone..." Mu Mu's voice was filled with the stubbornness unique to young people. "I'll go with you. At least I can have a companion!"

"No." Qi Mingyu simply refused.

He turned his gaze to Zhou Shuwan.

In fact, Zhou Shuwan knew what they should do without even weighing the pros and cons.

Now her space cannot be opened, and the supplies on the cruise ship are gradually decreasing. If they can find more containers, they can collect more supplies and help them survive longer.

Zhou Shuwan raised his head, his eyes filled with reluctance and determination: "The spare oxygen cylinder for the diving suit is in the port locker. I'll get it."

Zhong Tiyun wanted to say something, but Zhou Shuwan gently pulled the corner of her clothes.

She looked at the determination in her daughter's eyes, and finally just wiped her face, turned around and went to the cabin to look for the emergency light: "Then you take this with you, it's dark in the deep sea, don't hit the reef."

Qi Mingyu knew that his mother-in-law truly loved and cared for him as if he were her own son.

So he smiled at Zhong Tiyun: "Mom, don't worry."

The tone is very soft.

Zhong Tiyun hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged him: "Be careful!"

Qi Mingyu nodded heavily.

Half an hour later, Qi Mingyu stood by the gangway of the cruise ship, his diving suit helmet fastened, and the anti-fog coating on the mask reflected Zhou Shuwan's worried face.

"Be careful." She reached out to help him adjust the buckle of his diving suit. Her heart sank when her fingertips touched the cold metal. "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself."

Qi Mingyu nodded, patted her head gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon! You and Mu Mu pay attention to the surrounding situation!"

The sea is extremely unsafe now, and any unexpected disaster may happen at any time.

It is very dangerous for him to dive into the seabed, and those who remain on the sea surface should also pay attention to their own safety!

Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Okay! Let's be careful of each other."

She took a step back and watched Qi Mingyu leap into the sea. The splashing waves hit her with a biting chill.

Zhou Shuwan prayed silently in his heart and waited.

After Qi Mingyu went into the sea, he suddenly felt that the sea water was like a huge piece of ice silk, instantly wrapping him up.

As the diving depth increased, the sunlight was gradually swallowed up, and the surrounding light changed from azure blue to dark green, and finally completely fell into a thick black.
