Chapter 1075
After returning home, she recounted Captain Chen's request in detail.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Tiyun dropped the bowl and chopsticks in her hands to the ground.
She walked quickly to Zhou Shuwan's side, grabbed her arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Going out to sea again? You've only rested for ten days! Last time you were unconscious at sea for days and nights, your father and I stayed by your bedside, not daring to close our eyes, have you forgotten?"
Zhou Jianghai also put down his work, walked to the table, and frowned deeply: "What's wrong with Captain Chen? Doesn't he know how dangerous it is at sea? Couldn't he have waited a little longer, or sent someone else?"
He had experienced too many separations and deaths, and really didn't want his family to take that risk again.
Mu Mu stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over everyone's faces without saying a word.
Looking at her family's anxious expressions, Zhou Shuwan felt a mix of warmth and sorrow in her heart: "I know you're worried. But Captain Chen said that half of the fleet that was sent out earlier has already been lost. If I don't go, even more people will risk going out and may never come back."
"But I can't let you go!" Zhong Tiyun's eyes reddened. She wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Wanwan, you can't refuse Captain Chen, so I'll go talk to him! It's already a miracle that our family has survived this long; we can't risk our lives again!"
As she was about to leave, Zhou Shuwan quickly grabbed her: "Mom, don't be impulsive. My navigation skills can help me find the island more easily than other fleets, and avoid more dangers. If even I don't go, we'll all be adrift at sea, and something bad will happen sooner or later."
Zhou Jianghai remained silent for a long while, then sighed heavily: "Wanwan is right, we can't just think about ourselves. But..."
He looked at Qi Mingyu, his eyes full of expectation: "Xiaoyu, what do you think?"
To be honest, Qi Mingyu didn't want Zhou Shuwan and her family to take any more risks, but the life and death of their entire fleet was imminent.
If everyone feels it's dangerous, then they will definitely not be able to get past the Boiling Sea Disaster.
Therefore, he didn't speak, but only looked at Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Shuwan understood what he meant. She smiled and nodded, "That's what I think too, Brother Yu."
She looked at Zhong Tiyun: "Mom, I know you're worried about me and don't want me to go out and take risks. But some things have to be done by someone."
I am better suited than anyone on the warship to go out and find new islands. If I sit here and do nothing, waiting for others to risk all sorts of dangers to search for them, only to find nothing, it's pointless.
In the end, we all only have one ending... which is also what I don't want to see..."
Zhong Tiyun actually knew that sending her daughter out to find an island was the right thing to do.
However, she was extremely distressed.
Zhou Shuwan went over to wipe away her tears, then hugged her: "Mom, don't worry, we've weathered all the storms ahead, and we'll come back safe and sound."
The danger they face this time will not be as great as before.
Because the sea temperature could rise at any time, they couldn't go too far and had to look for islands in the vicinity.
Looking at Zhou Shuwan's determined eyes, and then at Qi Mingyu, Zhong Tiyun knew she couldn't stop her.
Since they had decided to go, the whole family had to pack their bags. Zhou Shuwan wanted to dissuade them when she saw them packing with her.
But Zhong Tiyun interrupted her directly: "Wanwan, our family must stay together. Whether on the mothership or in dangerous waters..."
Zhou Jianghai also spoke up: "Yes, Wanwan, you don't need to persuade me. We already agreed on this a long time ago."
Even Mu Mu, who had been a source of worry for Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, was laughing and packing her things.
Zhou Shuwan felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that she had once again dragged her whole family onto a dangerous path.
On the third day, the mothership was ready and could depart at any time.
