Chapter 1104
Mu Mu bit her lip tightly and told Captain Chen that if her sister and brother-in-law had been missing for two hours, they might have been thrown into the sea two hours ago. Searching the sea now would be too far away!
By this time, they were already standing on the deck, and Mu Mu turned to look at the sea behind her.
The sea breeze lifted the hem of his clothes, and Mu Mu stared at the surging undercurrents beneath the surface of the sea, her heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by a hand.
He actually knew better than anyone else present that his sister had spatial abilities, and that there were small boats, first aid kits, life jackets, and diving suits inside. Even if she were really thrown into the sea, she wouldn't be completely lost.
Her spatial storage ability can also help her in times of crisis.
Two hours passed, but not a trace could be found.
This only shows that she had lost her ability to move at that time and didn't even have the strength to open up a space.
"What about my brother-in-law?" Mu Mu's voice was even lower: "My brother-in-law is so strong, who can subdue both of them at the same time?"
These words struck Captain Chen and the surrounding crew like a thunderbolt.
Yes, Qi Mingyu's fighting skills are among the best in the fleet; three or four ordinary soldiers can't even get close to him.
Zhou Shuwan is also very capable; even if she encountered danger, she should be able to leave some clues.
But now, they can't find even a single hair.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu are a powerful combination. Who can subdue them both instantly?
Isn't it not one or two people, but a group?
They were isolated and helpless on this vast ocean. All the survivors were on this fleet, but they disappeared on the mothership during the voyage. Doesn't that mean that the enemy group was hiding on this mothership?
who can that be?
Mu Mu felt a chill run through her body instantly.
He turned to look at the busy crew members around him. Some were searching diligently, while others were whispering among themselves, but everyone's face seemed shrouded in a fog.
Who can guarantee that among these seemingly anxious people, there aren't any accomplices of the murderer?
The patrol's search quickly yielded results.
The entire mothership was turned upside down, from the cockpit to the lower warehouses, from the crew quarters to the storage compartments, and even the gaps in the engine room were searched, but there was no trace of Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.
The adjutant's face was full of grief, and his voice was hoarse: "Captain, it's almost certain... they're no longer on board."
Captain Chen closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his eyes filled with determination: "Dr. Zhou is too important to us! Launch the lifeboats! All crew members who can go into the water, get on board and expand the search area in the surrounding waters! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!"
A dozen orange lifeboats were launched into the sea one after another, their engines breaking the calm.
The crew members, holding binoculars, stared at every suspicious floating object on the sea surface, calling out the names of Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu. Their voices echoed across the sea, but only elicited responses from the waves.
Time passed second by second, but they received no feedback.
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun stood on the deck, gazing at the lifeboats in the distance, their lips pressed together until they turned white.
Zhong Tiyun leaned against Zhou Jianghai's chest, tears falling silently, but she dared not cry out loud.
She was afraid that her emotions would affect others, and even more afraid that if she cried out, her daughter and son-in-law would never come back.
Four hours passed, and the lifeboats returned to the mothership one after another, the crew members' faces filled with disappointment. "Captain, we've searched the entire area, but found nothing..." one crew member said, head bowed, avoiding Captain Chen's eyes.
Captain Chen remained silent, gazing at the gradually darkening sea.
The sea breeze made his clothes flutter, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Keep searching!" he suddenly said, his voice firm and unwavering. "Dr. Zhou and Captain Qi have both spent half a year at sea alone. They know how to handle all kinds of dangers! They must still be alive. What we need to do is find them and give them support!"
Mu Mu, Zhou Jianghai, and Zhong Tiyun were all filled with gratitude as they listened to his resolute command.
They had already wasted a whole afternoon here. If Captain Chen sounded the horn to retreat, then Zhou Shuwan and the other person would truly have no hope of survival!
Having stood on the deck for the entire afternoon, Mu Mu, like her parents, had chapped lips and hoarse voices.
Seeing that she couldn't find her sister and brother-in-law, Mu Mu's stiff brain started working again!
