"Ok!"
Qi Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand tightly: "Let's go back. Come visit grandma more often in the future."
Zhou Shuwan nodded, and the two left the cemetery side by side.
They walked along the winding path. The sky darkened and the sea breeze brought a hint of coolness. The fog was still lingering and they could not see things more than one meter away.
This has been going on for over three months.
Zhou Shuwan was also used to it.
The sea breeze blew, and she couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly around her.
"Are you cold?" Qi Mingyu turned around and carefully helped her button up her coat.
His palms were cold, but they held a reassuring power.
"Wanwan." Qi Mingyu suddenly called her name in a low voice, his eyebrows lowered, looking at her intently, with a sharpness like a sword on his thin cheeks.
Zhou Shuwan looked up at him.
"You will always stay with me, right?" His voice was hoarse and his tone was deep.
He was a child abandoned by his parents! How could Zhou Shuwan not understand his desire for family affection!
Her eyes were moist and she forced a smile: "Silly, what kind of stupid question are you asking? We are a family. How can family abandon each other?"
Qi Mingyu hugged her tightly.
He was very strong, his hands restraining her waist, almost embedding them into his body.
For a moment, Zhou Shuwan almost couldn't breathe.
She was about to ask him to be gentler when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
She paused in her struggle and looked up hurriedly, wanting to take a closer look.
But the man didn't allow her to look up. He just hugged her tightly and whispered, "Wanwan, just this once! Just this once!"
Zhou Shuwan understood immediately that he didn't want to see him cry.
He had been very restrained since his grandmother passed away. This was the first time he had lost his composure and been so vulnerable...
She meekly let him hold her, then she also put her arms around his waist, saying gently: "Okay. I will always be with you..."
When she first met Qi Mingyu, she thought he was her salvation.
But unexpectedly, I was actually his salvation.
The two of them have been supporting each other and growing old together in the cannibalistic apocalypse.
The night on Xiangyang Island is gentle, and the sea breeze gently blows the leaves, making a rustling sound.
The Zhou family's attitude towards Qi Mingyu was polite and cautious.
Qi Mingyu saw it but didn't say anything.
The next morning, Zhou Shuwan took advantage of Qi Mingyu going to the cruise ship to check the supplies and quietly found Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai.
"Mom, Dad," Zhou Shuwan said seriously, "I know you all care about Xiao Yu, but being too polite to him will only make him feel worse. Just treat him as a family member and treat him like you normally would."
Zhong Tiyun was startled, then smiled bitterly: "That's right, you are right to remind me, it's your father and I who don't know what to do, but we forgot that this will only make Xiaoyu feel that we are outsiders."
As she spoke, she called out to Zhou Jianghai, "Dahai, you should be more careful too. I've noticed that you haven't dared to say a word these past few days when talking to Xiaoyu. You've been so gentle and docile like a woman!"
Zhou Jianghai coughed loudly, glanced at the mother and daughter, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Shuwan and his mother laughed secretly.
She looked at Zhou Shuwan tenderly, her eyes full of heartache and understanding. "Wanwan, don't worry, Mom knows what to do." She has always been thoughtful and insightful, and she sees the ways of the world even more clearly than Zhou Shuwan.
Zhou Jianghai nodded, a hint of apology on his rugged face. "I was inconsiderate. I'll be more careful next time."
Sure enough, when Qi Mingyu returned to the island, Zhong Tiyun's attitude towards him became much more natural.
She called him loudly to eat: "Xiao Yu, come and eat! Today we have your favorite noodles."
Her tone was relaxed and natural, completely free of her previous restraint and caution.
She also nagged him to keep warm when he went out and not get cold: "Just like your dad, he never remembers to put on more clothes when he goes out!"
While eating, Qi Mingyu listened to Zhong Tiyun's nagging obediently, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After dinner, Zhong Tiyun and Mu Mu returned to the hospital.
They have been busy with Grandma Pang's funeral these days, so the doctor agreed to let them be discharged from the hospital temporarily.
The improved hanging vine liquid is much milder to the human body, and after using it, their bodies have almost recovered.
Today, they had to go back to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and Zhou Shuwan took them there.
A few more months passed, and breakthroughs were made in antibody research.
By combining human serum containing antibodies with extracts of the vine, the medical team finally succeeded in developing an antibody.
Just three injections are enough to make you immune to the fog.
By this time, the fog had covered the island for half a year, and the island's population had lost one-fifth, leaving only more than 4,000 people.
However, the residents of the island became more and more courageous and fearless of difficulties. Under the captain's orders, they planted a large number of hanging ivy, and the fog gradually became less.
Although the sea fog is still thick, life on the island has basically returned to normal.
A large number of hanging vines are also planted on the Zhou family's cruise ships and military warships. When going out fishing, people will place a few hanging vines on the boat to reduce the impact of fog.
After living on the island for more than half a year, thanks to the half ton of planting soil Zhou Shuwan sent, although the island could not grow major staple foods, it still managed to grow a crop of soybeans and a crop of potatoes.
They were carefully collected on the warship and prepared to be used as seeds next year.
Just when they were planting the third crop, an unprecedented hurricane hit the island, which caused a tsunami.
Many wooden houses on the island were blown away by the hurricane, along with some small boats on the edge of the island used to communicate between the island and the warships.
The third crop of plants had also been overturned, with the planting soil flying everywhere, exposing the barren rocky surface.
Everyone boarded the mother ship in an emergency.
The same is true for Zhou Shuwan and his group. In this case, the cruise ship is not as safe as the mother ship with the heaviest draft.
But the mother ship was also rocked by the dual forces of the tsunami and hurricane, drifting on the sea. On the deck, broken cables and scattered supplies silently told of the ravages of the hurricane and tsunami.
Zhou Shuwan and her family are hiding here with Zhipeng.
She held her mother with one hand and tightly grasped the cabinet next to her with the other hand, but there was no panic in her eyes, instead, there was a calm determination.
Beside them, Zhou Jianghai and Mu Mu were protecting her and Zhong Tiyun tightly.
Xue Tao, Yu Xuan and the others were also struggling to grab onto things to steady themselves from falling over.
Under such circumstances, Qi Mingyu groped his way back to the fourth floor underground.
He just went upstairs to check the situation.
"Brother Xiaoyu," Zhou Shuwan's voice was blown away by the huge tsunami outside, and she had to raise her voice: "What's the current situation on the warship?"
