Liu Cheng and Wang Jun thought for a moment and had no impression of Zhang Chao or Lu Yu. 

“How about Zheng Weili?” Jiang Ning asked with concern. “She’s a woman.” 

“Tall and strong, can knock down big men with one punch, has a more masculine voice?”

Jiang Ning nodded repeatedly, “Exactly.” 

There aren’t many female soldiers in the submarine unit, and during training at sea, they are separated; only on land do they gather for exercises. They don’t have much impression of the big guys. 

However, women tend to attract more attention, especially in the military. So a female soldier who takes down several men one after another naturally becomes the center of attention. 

Zheng Weili’s reputation is well-known, and she is quite famous in the submarine group. 

Jiang Ning held onto some hope. “Do you know her whereabouts?” 

Liu Cheng shook his head. 

The asteroid hit the Earth too suddenly. They had just taken all their luggage to the sea for training. They went out to sea during the day and rested at the deep-sea dock at night. When they heard the air raid sirens, they drove the submarine away as quickly as possible. 

Thinking about the devastating tsunami they experienced, Liu Cheng and the others still hadn’t escaped that nightmare. 

The power of natural disasters is far beyond the ability of tiny humans to resist. 

The huge waves erupting from the seabed hit the submarine directly, and it was tossed around the sea. The people inside, unsure of what would happen next, were completely helpless. 

If not for being in a suspended state, with the external equipment retracted, the turbine engines would have been rendered useless by the tsunami. 

The strong shell of the submarine held up against the tsunami, but many members, even with their safety belts on, were powerless. They endured days of intense suffering, with some of them vomiting everywhere.

They dared not recall too much even now. It was truly horrifying, as if they are being strangled tightly by the grim reapers 

If they hadn’t disconnected the fire seed box in time, the tsunami’s force would have split the submarine in half. 

They survived, but thinking about the discarded fire seed box, even though it contained a signal transmitter and could preserve the civilization within for twenty years, they still wondered. 

Would it really ever see the light of day again, or would it remain buried deep in the ocean forever? 

Liu Cheng and the others blamed themselves. They felt like they had failed their duties. 

“If it’s lost; we’ll find it again someday,” Jiang Ning tried to comfort them. “Even if civilization is lost, as long as humanity survives, it will eventually be recreated.” 

There was no use in blaming themselves. In fact, the base had requirements. The fire seed planners were also the inheritors of civilization. Their task was to protect the fire seed box, but they had to protect themselves first. 

Even Xu Kaitai repeatedly reminded them of this. 

Yet, Liu Cheng and the others were burdened with guilt, a hurdle they had yet to overcome. 

In fact, they were considered lucky. Zhang Chao and the others were training on land, far from both the training ground and the deep-sea port. The timing was incredibly tight, transferring from the bus to the boat. 

If anything went wrong, they wouldn’t have made it to the deep-sea port in time. 

And if something had gone wrong, the consequences would have been unimaginable. 

People must always have hope to live. Liu Cheng had started a family at the base. His wife was an employee at the central shopping mall. The navy’s subsidy wasn’t bad, and the couple lived a good life with children. 

But with the arrival of natural disasters, he had his own mission. Even his family couldn’t escape with him. His parents, wife, and children could only flee with the army. 

Did anyone survive the plate collisions? Where had the land gone after it sank? 

After experiencing the cruel natural disaster firsthand, Liu Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart, but he told himself countless times that his parents, wife, and children must be alive and well, and that they would reunite sooner or later. 

He had to stay optimistic. Only with hope could he persevere through the cruel and unpredictable natural disasters. 

He had promised his parents and wife that no matter how big the disaster was, he would live well and never give up. 

So when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Liu Cheng held them back. 

“I seem to have seen Zheng Weili. She was in the same training group as us. We were both at the deep-sea dock at the time. The quality of the submarines made by our country is beyond doubt. They can definitely compete with tsunamis. I guess they are swimming in some sea area now.” 

Liu Cheng’s words made Jiang Ning feel relieved. 

In the vast water, maybe they will never see each other again in this life, but it’s good to be alive. 

The four of them are in the same submarine, and they can take care of each other when encountering problems. Maybe at this moment, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu are also thinking about her? 

Anning, how about hot pot? 

Thinking that maybe they are still out there in this world, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit more hopeful. 

Just drifting like this, maybe one day they really would meet 2639 and have spicy hotpot in the depths of the ocean. 

Jiang Ning collected her thoughts. “You’ve been traveling on the seabed for so long, have you encountered other submarines?” 

Liu Cheng nodded. “I have encountered several, but none of them belonged to our country.” 

One of them belonged to Eagle Sauce, and next to it was Dog Leg Maple Leaf. 

Thinking that humans can only survive the disaster by uniting, Liu Cheng and his men even took the initiative to greet them. 

Good grief, they actually launched an attack without any ethics. Not only did they launch a sneak attack, but they even called the dog-legged Maple Leaf next door to try to outnumber them. 

Liu Cheng and his men were furious. After three consecutive warnings to no avail, they decisively launched an attack. Damn! 

Humans are about to perish, and they are still killing their own kind? 

So, the war started on the seabed.

Facing Eagle Sauce, which spends 3,000 US dollars on a coffee pot, Liu Cheng and his men weren’t afraid at all. They had enough confidence in the submarines produced by their own country’s factories.

1926 extended a sharp attack device and rammed the Eagle Sauce submarine that lacked ethics. 

Thinking of teaching them a lesson, they just wanted to hurt them a little. 

But who knew that the Eagle Sauce used all their military funds to buy coffee cups and toilets, and the submarine that seemed extremely powerful turned out to be a paper tiger. 

It got pierced right through. 

Water started seeping in like crazy. 

Liu Cheng and his men were dumbfounded. It wasn’t intentional.

If the quality wasn’t good, they should have said so earlier. Cutting corners shouldn’t be this bad. 

The Maple Leaf submarine next to them got scared and ran away. 

Once they realized what was happening, Liu Cheng and the others also ran away. 

Later, whenever they encountered submarines from other countries, they would avoid them. 

Even if they encountered the same model, they would greet them carefully and verify their identities repeatedly. 

They were always happy to meet fellow countrymen in a foreign land and speak a familiar language. 

The weight on their hearts was released in those moments. 

Liu Cheng and his companions had been floating in the sea for too long. At this time, the sea was calm, and the sunset, with thousands of rays of light, was beautiful and mesmerizing. He shouted to 2688, “Do you mind if I call my comrades up to bask in the sun?” 

They hadn’t seen the sun for a long time. 

Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen had no objections. “Okay.” 

So, more than a dozen people climbed out of the submarine one after another, all men, and all of them were thin. 

They sat on the submarine, looking at the gorgeous sunset, intoxicated, as if they were recalling the beauty of the past. 

“The sun sets in the west, and the clouds are red. The soldiers return from target practice, returning to the camp, with red flowers on their chests shining in the colorful sunset…” 

Unconsciously, they all began to sing in unison. Their voices were joyful and light, drifting across the tranquil, vast sea. 

But as they sang, without realizing it, their faces became covered in tears. 

Jiang Ning was moved and couldn’t help humming a few lines. 

On this vast ocean, on these two submarines, they thought of home, their loved ones, their friends, and all the beautiful things of the past…
