Chapter 743
As early as he was able to walk normally, he asked Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu to take him around the dormitory, corridors and stairs.
He couldn't always rely on others to do everything, and he didn't want to be a burden to everyone.
Except for a few survivors, all the people staying on this floor are navy.
These soldiers also sympathized with Qi Mingyu's situation, so they took the initiative to promise not to add any obstacles in the corridor.
In the corridor, under Zhou Shuwan's guidance, Qi Mingyu gradually became familiar with the location of every corner and every door.
His steps were still a little stumbling, and he would bump into the door frame or wall from time to time, but he never made any sound, just silently enduring the pain.
"There are stairs on the left and a public restroom in front." Zhou Shuwan reminded him softly, his eyes always on him, afraid that he would accidentally fall.
Qi Mingyu nodded and continued walking forward.
When he stood at the end of the corridor, he gently ran his fingertips across the wall, feeling the cold touch.
Although it was pitch black in front of him, the layout of this level was gradually constructed in his mind.
He silently memorized the location of the stairs, the direction of the bathroom, and the rooms behind each door.
Zhou Shuwan followed him a few steps, his eyes never leaving his back.
She watched him stumble and bump into the door frame or wall every time, and couldn't help feeling a pang of pain in her heart, but she never said a word, just followed him silently.
After a few days, Qi Mingyu was able to walk around the dormitory and corridors on his own.
He could even go to the bathroom to wash up by himself. Although his movements were still a little slow, he no longer needed Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu to accompany him throughout the whole process.
However, each cabin on the mothership has many doors.
When Qi Mingyu walked alone, he often bumped into the protruding door frames because he was not familiar with the layout, or he did not turn when he should have and bumped directly into the wall.
With every collision, he gritted his teeth, said nothing, and continued to move forward.
Zhou Shuwan followed quietly behind, tears in her eyes, her lips tightly bitten, but she said nothing.
She knew that Qi Mingyu's self-esteem would not allow her to show pity or sympathy.
All she could do was wait for him to come back and carefully treat the bumps on his face and body.
Once, someone opened the window at the entrance of the bathroom, and Qi Mingyu bumped into it, and a big bruise immediately appeared on his forehead, which didn't go away for several days.
But he showed the amazing perseverance and endurance unique to special forces. He silently endured the pain and inconvenience brought by blindness and never lost his temper.
His already quiet personality just became even quieter.
Zhou Shuwan felt very distressed. After much thought, she felt that in addition to giving him acupuncture, what she also had to do was to accompany him in exercising.
They couldn't stay in this damp, small and dark dormitory forever.
Qi Mingyu is a patient. He should walk on the deck more often, feel the sea breeze and listen to the sound of the waves. This should help his psychology.
So, during this period of time, she would always take Qi Mingyu to the deck for a walk after everyone fell asleep.
The patrolling soldiers all knew Qi Mingyu's situation and would stay away from him and not disturb him.
For safety reasons, the mothership's deck has a timer switch, so Zhou Shuwan went to find Major Wei specifically.
After that, she and Qi Mingyu had smooth communication.
Meanwhile, the mothership drifted aimlessly in the waves.
Eternal night enveloped the entire sky, and not even the stars could be seen.
Originally, after the end of the world, warships have always relied on astronomical and geographical knowledge to determine their direction.
But now, all reference points have disappeared, and even the most experienced helmsman on the mother ship is at a loss.
One night, when Zhou Shuwan took Qi Mingyu to familiarize himself with the situation on the deck, he accidentally saw Captain Chen standing there with his men, looking into the distance through night vision goggles with serious expressions.
The officers behind him also had sad expressions on their faces.
Obviously, the situation of the mothership is not optimistic.
Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly, still not understanding what these officers were doing here so late at night.
Captain Chen saw them and called out, "Xiao Zhou, Xiao Qi!"
When his eyes swept over Qi Mingyu who was standing quietly beside him, a barely perceptible sigh flashed across his eyes, but his tone was as relaxed as usual: "Would you like to come up and take a look around?"
Zhou Shuwan had already quietly reminded Qi Mingyu that it was Captain Chen and other officers on the mother ship.
Qi Mingyu nodded.
"Yeah, I've been staying in the dormitory for too long and it's quite stuffy." Zhou Shuwan responded with a smile.
After greeting everyone one by one, he asked, "Captain Chen, it's time to rest now. Why aren't you guys going to rest yet?"
She took advantage of the fact that everyone went to rest at night and there was no one on the deck, so she brought Qi Mingyu up there.
What I want is the peace and quiet at this time.
Captain Chen didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at the scattered piles of sand on the deck and said to Zhou Shuwan, "Be careful when you move around up there. If you have any difficulties, let the ship know. We'll help you whenever we can!"
This was his goodwill towards the Zhou family.
Qi Mingyu helped the warship several times, and Captain Chen always kept it in mind.
Now that he has become blind, Captain Chen is very sad, feeling that the warship has lost a well-trained special forces soldier.
Although there are thousands of navy ships, each of them is strong and experienced.
However, before Qi Mingyu retired from the army, he was the best of the best in the special forces team. Both his leadership and personal combat abilities were top-notch. Therefore, in several previous operations, he, a retired soldier from outside the army, was able to lead a navy to fight.
It is a blessing for the warship to have such soldiers.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu both expressed their thanks solemnly.
Captain Chen looked at Qi Mingyu again: "Xiao Qi, how are you feeling now? I heard you're using acupuncture for treatment?"
Qi Mingyu was slightly surprised that the other party knew so much about his treatment. He nodded and said calmly, "Thank you, Captain Chen. I'm much better now. Wanwan is giving me acupuncture. I hope to do my best and leave the rest to fate!"
Captain Chen said in a deep voice, "In any case, I'm glad to see you haven't given up. A great man once said, 'Fighting against heaven, earth, and people is endless joy!' Now you must not only fight against heaven, but also against yourself. As long as you don't lose your fighting spirit, no matter what happens in the future, you won't be defeated by this wicked heaven!"
This is the earnest teaching given to him by his senior military officers!
Qi Mingyu saluted with a snap and said in a deep voice, "Yes, thank you Captain Chen for your guidance!"
"What guidance? I'm just a veteran and want to say a few words to you!" Captain Chen waved his hand and smiled.
He turned his head to look at the boundless black sea and sighed, "Now it's not just you who is fighting against the heavens and the earth, we are all like this!"
