Chapter 1049
These are the scenes that the Zhou family saw when they were in that sea area.
In addition, there is another very important point.
The survivors under He Chengshi were not of equal status. More than half of them could take up guns and weapons to fight against them.
But there were also some slaves whose hands and feet were tied with ropes and thrown on the boat like that.
They were probably other survivors captured by He Chengshi's men. Here, they were reduced to slaves of a lower class, forced to work every day collecting clams and searching for supplies...
The Zhou family and their friends all saw these people during the battle.
But they were powerless.
They can hardly save themselves now, let alone save other survivors.
The fact that they were able to escape unscathed from He Chengshi and his men was already a matter of 100% luck.
Moreover, Zhou Shuwan’s space cannot be opened now, and he cannot take out the whale meat that was stored on the entire mothership.
If you can't open it...
Zhong Tiyun was filled with worry, but she didn't show it on her face. She just asked Zhou Shuwan, "Wanwan, what should we do next?"
They now have enough fuel to go home.
However, without Zhou Shuwan's perception ability, they could not figure out the direction on the sea.
Zhou Shuwan was also thinking about this problem.
Although she no longer has the ability to perceive space, the other party is still very sensitive, just not as clear as before. She can give a direction very clearly without any error.
Now, she could only feel it vaguely.
"Once we're out of He Chengshi's sight, we'll try to go home."
She spoke in a crisp tone.
Zhong Tiyun couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, it's time to go back. We have been out for so long."
She couldn't help but look at Zhou Shuwan.
"What's wrong, Mom?" Zhou Shuwan understood immediately when she met the other person's worried gaze.
Their mission this time was to search for seabed hot spring minerals, although they completed this task.
But she stored those minerals in her space. When she returned, her space could not be opened and she could not take them out.
Not only did they come out for nothing, but if Zhou Shuwan could open the space in the future, it would be difficult to take out so many minerals.
Zhou Shuwan comforted her mother: "Mom, don't worry too much, everything will work out in the end! We will adapt to the situation when the time comes."
"That's the only way!" Zhong Tiyun murmured and nodded.
Zhou Jianghai on the side also persuaded: "That's right, Tiyun, don't worry. The worst that can happen is that we don't find it. Once we tell Captain Chen and the others what happened on the seabed, can they still be harsh on us?"
To put it bluntly, the mothership was desperate and had to try its best to save the situation.
The family came out with the idea that there was a high chance they would be sacrificed!
And they only have a 10 percent chance of finding the minerals while saving their lives.
Seen this way, the mothership seems cruel.
But when thinking from Captain Chen's perspective, sending them out is the last option!
They just waited and did nothing, and in the end everyone died.
If they succeed, they will save the lives of the entire warship!
Therefore, even if Zhou Shuwan and the others returned empty-handed, no one would say anything.
"Mom, you and I will take Dad to the lounge. You two can rest for a while while I take over duty here."
Zhou Shuwan said to the two people.
It’s not safe now. They are too close to He Chengshi’s sea area, so they dare not stop.
But in fact, everyone has not rested for almost ten hours, and everyone is exhausted and is now holding on.
Zhou Jianghai's shoulder was injured, but it was not too serious and he needs to rest well.
Zhong Tiyun disagreed: "You often have headaches, and now you haven't had a rest for such a long time. I'm on duty, you take care of your dad and you can rest for a while."
Zhou Shuwan shook her head and refused: "It's okay, Mom, I feel okay now. My brain was actually very excited during the battle just now."
Perhaps it was the adrenaline that made her as excited as a chicken with blood injected. She drifted the huge cruise ship while shooting with a submachine gun.
The headache symptoms I had before are completely gone.
Although the excitement at that time has passed and I have a slight headache now, it is within the tolerable range.
He Chengshi and his men might still be planning an ambush, so they must be extremely vigilant before leaving this sea area.
His mother is old, so Zhou Shuwan wants her to rest for a while while he goes on duty first!
Zhong Tiyun couldn't persuade her daughter, so she had to agree.
The cruise ship's engines roared steadily on the sea.
Zhou Shuwan held onto the railing of the deck, his eyes fixed on the sea level behind him.
The sea breeze was blowing, but it no longer carried the same tense atmosphere as before.
She raised her hand and rubbed her swollen temples. The energy she had just maintained faded away, and fatigue surged up like a tide.
The cruise ship continued sailing for more than ten hours and was already a very long distance away from He Chengshi and the others. Qi Mingyucai and Mu Mu slowly reduced the speed and stopped the ship in a calm sea.
Zhong Tiyun had already rested well. She walked out of the lounge with her coat on. The fatigue in her eyes had mostly dissipated. She took the binoculars handed to her by Zhou Shuwan and said, "Wanwan, you guys go eat something and get some sleep. Don't worry, I'll be on guard here."
Zhou Shuwan nodded.
They were all very tired, especially Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu, who had been driving the cruise ship for more than ten hours almost without sleep.
They met Zhou Shuwan in the rest area, but neither of them had the energy to say hello.
Mu Mu raised her hand as if to call someone over, and saw several bowls of soup and fried smoked fish on the table.
He heaved a sigh and said with a sigh: "It's good to have a mom. She has prepared everything perfectly."
He grabbed a bowl of hot soup and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan couldn't help laughing.
Qi Mingyu first touched Zhou Shuwan's forehead and asked her in a low voice if her head still hurt.
Were you injured in the previous battle?
He and Mu Mu had the most stressful tasks and were steering the cruise ship in the cockpit, while Zhou Shuwan was on guard on the deck; the two of them didn't even have time to say a word.
Although Qi Mingyu knew that Zhou Shuwan should not be injured, he still couldn't help but ask, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I can hold on."
"Eat quickly!" Mu Mu had already finished a bowl of soup in three or five mouthfuls. Seeing that the two people were still lingering there, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and urged them to eat quickly.
Qi Mingyu picked up a few pieces of smoked fish for Zhou Shuwan with his chopsticks, and they smiled at each other before starting to eat.
Mu Mu couldn't wait to go to his own lounge: "I can't do it anymore, I can't even open my eyes, I'm going to sleep first."
