Chapter 1061
"Mu Mu, you..."
Mu Mu quickly returned to normal: "Sister, I was just talking casually, don't take it seriously."
He turned his head and concentrated on driving the cruise ship.
But at this moment, Zhou Shuwan's heart felt like it was poured into a frying pan, churning up and down.
Mu Mu has always given them the impression of being very optimistic and strong.
In fact, he was the one who loved to laugh the most among them, and he always seemed to find some fun in whatever he did.
He also likes to use some witty remarks to make everyone laugh.
Everyone also gained a lot of joy and smiles from his playfulness and optimism.
However, no one expected that he would...
If you think about it carefully, it’s actually not surprising.
Mu Mu is a generation that grew up after the end of the world.
This generation has grown up witnessing a shattered Earth, encountering all sorts of devastating disasters, scarce supplies, sinister human hearts, and a life of desperate flight for survival...
It is easy to imagine how deep a mark these things will leave on a young heart!
Mu Mu appears optimistic and strong on the surface, but deep down, he's probably filled with confusion and distrust of the world, and even has accumulated too much disappointment...
Zhou Shuwan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She stared at the endless sea in front of her without blinking, feeling extremely confused.
They continued to work 24 hours a day, with four people taking turns driving. They drove for four days and four nights before stopping temporarily for a long rest.
Fortunately, they have not encountered such salt spray disasters in the past few days.
Zhong Tiyun was even glad that they had escaped the range of the salt spray disaster.
Zhou Shuwan didn't tell her that within the range of her previous perception, they had not escaped yet.
However, looking at her mother's cheerful smile, she chose to remain silent.
They dropped anchor directly, and then Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai, who had rested for a night, took turns patrolling while Zhou Shuwan, Mu Mu and Qi Mingyu rested.
They were all exhausted, so they ate a little food and went to the lounge to rest.
Lying there, Zhou Shuwan stared blankly at the ceiling above his head, not feeling sleepy at all.
Qi Mingyu quickly noticed her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Shuwan had nothing to hide from him, and he hadn't had time to tell him before.
At this moment, he hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Brother Xiao Yu, I think Mu Mu may be suffering from depression..."
This nonsensical sentence made Qi Mingyu a little confused.
After a long silence, he sat up, his eyes darkening. "No wonder he stared at the sea for nearly ten minutes while cleaning the mast a few days ago. I asked him what he was looking at, and he said he wanted to know if the end of the sea wasn't land at all, but the end point of humanity's complete extinction... I just thought it was strange at the time, but now I think it's definitely not right."
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but clench his fists. "We all thought he was the most optimistic and cheerful person. We never considered that he grew up after the apocalypse and might have a different understanding of the apocalypse than we do."
Zhou Shuwan, Qi Mingyu and Zhong Tiyun all experienced the end of the world from the most prosperous era. Although they were also desperate and had experienced the darkest moments in their lives, they still had the hope that mankind could return to such a prosperous era.
But Mu Mu experienced the end of the world at a very young age and had no deep understanding of the prosperity of human society.
Therefore, it is understandable that he is even more desperate about the future.
Qi Mingyu followed her words and frowned, "Let's pay more attention to Mu Mu's condition in the future. Don't think that he's fine just because he's always smiling. Many depression symptoms can't be seen on the surface."
Zhou Shuwan nodded, but his expression was still very solemn.
Qi Mingyu looked at her, his eyes softened a little: "Take your time, the knot in his heart needs to be untied little by little, there is no need to rush.
We don't have to do anything deliberately, just act like usual and let him know that we are by his side and that he is not carrying all these things alone.
Don't worry too much, Mumu is stronger than we thought, he just has been holding it in for too long and needs someone to help him breathe."
Zhou Shuwan nodded and looked out the window with empty eyes.
On this vast ocean, people's hearts are also confused.
When the family gathered in the cockpit for dinner, Zhou Jianghai asked, "Your mother and I discussed this today. We didn't have time to stop and look at the dismantled ship that day. We didn't know if it was the mothership."
Zhou Shuwan nodded directly. "Yes, I've already sensed the debris of the ship flying over. It's a civilian cruise ship belonging to our warship. It should be the one brought by Xue Wuwen and the others."
Everyone was a little silent.
Since the warship left it there alone, it must have encountered an unsolvable situation.
However, Zhou Jianghai's brows relaxed a little: "This means that the people above must have been moved. I know the two captains, they will definitely not abandon innocent survivors and leave."
Zhong Tiyun also nodded: "That's true."
"It's a pity that we didn't find any clues from it."
Mu Mu said with a frown.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other and then looked at Mu Mu silently.
The other person looked natural, without any trace of the decadence and despair from yesterday.
Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this meant Mu Mu's symptoms were not particularly obvious and could definitely be easily cured!
Everyone started discussing the direction the mothership would go.
Zhong Tiyun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you think Captain Chen and his men will return to Hope Island No. 2 with a large force?"
Everyone was startled.
Zhong Tiyun explained, "We've been drifting on the sea for half a year, but there aren't any islands at all. The only two islands we've seen are Island 1 and Island 2, which are habitable. Now that something unexpected has happened on Island 2, it's normal for them to want to go to Island 1!"
Zhou Jianghai frowned slightly: "But, Tiyun, you forgot why we fled back from Island No. 2. Island No. 2 is definitely uninhabitable now."
At that time, a major earthquake occurred on Island No. 2 and the crustal activity was intense. In order to survive, they had no choice but to return to the smaller Island No. 1.
They also analyzed that even if they returned to Island No. 2 later, based on the extent of the damage to the bottom of the island at that time, it would be difficult for them to maintain stability even if they built another mid-air fortress.
Therefore, Zhou Jianghai believed that they would never return to Island No. 2 no matter what.
Zhong Tiyun looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Wanwan, what do you mean?"
Zhou Shuwan pondered, "What if they think we really think so?"
The others were stunned and did not understand what Zhou Shuwan said.
Qi Mingyu suddenly seemed to understand something and realized: "Wanwan, you mean Captain Chen and the others..."
