Chapter 621
As soon as Qi Mingyu finished speaking, Zhou Shuwan nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
When she was reborn, her initial goal was just to live a good life with her family, but now, she has seen so many tragic situations and heard about the country's plans.
She decided to do something. Her space was now very large, but less than a quarter of it was filled with supplies and production lines. The rest was empty. If she could find a fire, she could put the fire in the space.
There is no place in the world today that is safer than space.
In the future, when the apocalypse ends and humans return to land, she can quietly take out the fire and pass on the civilization and technology of China.
That’s a culture that’s been around for thousands of years!
As a member of the Chinese nation, she feels that she has the responsibility to protect and pass on the tradition!
Qi Mingyu nodded: "Okay, let's go together."
Zhou Shuwan looked back at him, and her originally icy expression broke, revealing a smile.
He understood her powerlessness!
I also understand her desire to do something for the country!
Because so is he!
They are the same kind!
They are attracted to each other and appreciate each other.
The helicopter circled in the air, and the strong wind carrying volcanic ash hit the fuselage, making a sharp whistling sound.
Below is a dead and desolate scene. The once vibrant land is now covered by thick volcanic ash, like a cemetery forgotten by time.
Zhou Shuwan stared intently at the ground below. Perhaps, those "sparks" were hidden under the ruins buried by volcanic ash.
Qi Mingyu controlled the helicopter, carefully avoiding dangerous areas.
He also looked for any possible clues.
But they learned the news too late. Now the entire land was covered by volcanic magma. They could not go down to the ground. They could only look up in the sky and could not find any trace of possible fire.
Qi Mingyu said: "Tao Zheng, Xiao Liu and the others went out every day to look for supplies, in part to find this fire, but they found nothing. It is very likely that these fires were extinguished during the first major earthquake.
As time passed, Zhou Shuwan felt a little tired.
Qi Mingyu controlled the helicopter to maintain a low altitude and comforted Zhou Shuwan: "Don't lose heart, we still have many places to search."
As he spoke, he kept adjusting the helicopter's flight path, striving to cover the maximum search area.
Beep beep, the plane shows that the fuel is low and we must refuel as soon as possible.
They have been searching in this area for more than three hours and have gone around in circles several times.
Suddenly, Zhou Shuwan pointed to a relatively flat area below.
"Wait! Over there!" Her voice trembled slightly, a hint of excitement lingering in her voice. "There's a low-lying area over there, with signs of artificial excavation! Furthermore, the color of the ground is different from the surrounding area!"
Qi Mingyu immediately slowed down the helicopter and carefully observed the area pointed out by Zhou Shuwan.
Sure enough, the surface color of that area was darker than the surrounding area, and its shape was more regular, not like a naturally formed landform.
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Qi Mingyu slowly landed the helicopter, found a relatively flat place, and stopped the plane.
"Be careful!" he warned, then jumped off the helicopter first and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.
Zhou Shuwan also jumped down, holding a spear and looking around vigilantly.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and volcanic ash, which made people cough uncontrollably.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing protective shields and were not greatly affected.
The ground they trod on was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, and there was almost no vegetation to be seen.
They walked carefully towards the area pointed out by Zhou Shuwan, taking every step cautiously, for fear of disturbing potential danger.
After walking through a field of rubble and debris, they came upon a buried entrance.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.
Zhou Shuwan took out tools from the space and worked with Qi Mingyu to clear the obstacles at the entrance, revealing a buried entrance to the underground passage.
Qi Mingyu checked and found that the earthquake and the volcanic eruption had caused the passage to collapse, revealing the entrance. Otherwise, there was a huge mountain in front of the passage that could cover the entire passage.
They wouldn't find it even if they searched on the ground, let alone in the sky.
Qi Mingyu frowned slightly: "This passage is not very stable. If you enter, there is a risk of collapse."
Zhou Shuwan looked around and asked, "Why don't we look for another entrance?"
The two people walked along the direction where the passage might have taken them, but ended up walking towards the seaside.
They felt helpless.
Judging from the length of this passage, part of the space has probably collapsed into the sea.
The geological activity on the seabed nearby has weakened. After thinking about it, the two men decided to take out the submarine and dive underground to take a look.
The sea water was still turbid, like a pot of boiling mud, and was covered with shipwrecks and volcanic ash, like a huge, silent cemetery.
Countless corpses whose faces could no longer be seen were floating on the sea, as well as the corpses of various marine fish.
Together with the volcanic sulfur, it emits a pungent smell.
Zhou Shuwan's eyes swept over the corpses in front of him and slowly let the submarine dive underwater.
Descending with difficulty in such severe sea conditions, every vibration of the submarine seemed to strike at the heart.
"I can't see anything clearly..." Zhou Shuwan's voice echoed in the small cockpit, with a hint of helplessness and worry.
There were obstacles everywhere, and the submarine's sonar system was also interfered with.
Qi Mingyu gripped the joystick tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the data on the display screen, trying to find a safe route.
The submarine kept bumping on the seabed where undercurrents were surging, and from time to time there was a harsh sound of metal friction, as if an accident might happen at any time.
"Be careful!" Qi Mingyu shouted in a low voice. The submarine shook violently and almost hit a huge unidentified object.
"What is it?" Zhou Shuwan's heart suddenly tightened and he gripped the handrail tightly.
"It might be the wreckage of a sunken ship," Qi Mingyu analyzed calmly. He skillfully controlled the submarine and avoided danger.
Suddenly, Zhou Shuwan saw something.
"That is..." Zhou Shuwan pointed at the image displayed by the sonar system.
The image displayed on the screen was blurry, but it could be seen that it was a large, irregular object.
Qi Mingyu calmly controlled the submarine and carefully approached the signal source.
The submarine's searchlight slowly turned on, and the strong beam of light penetrated the sea water, illuminating an area on the seabed.
