Chapter 40: Finding a New Water Source
"I know about the water source. You go down first."
Qihuo tightened his knuckles holding the report and was silent for a long time before he asked the people below to leave.
"Yes, Chief."
The man retreated respectfully, his back completely wet.
This time I got soaked not because I was afraid, but because the weather was too hot.
Because of the heat, the base's power supply system had to work for a few hours and then rest for a few hours, taking turns.
Otherwise it may cause fire.
Because of this, electricity supply in the base became very tight, and there were power outages in offices and living areas all day long.
The electricity produced by the generator will be supplied to the laboratory.
After the people below left, Qihuo called Qi'er and Si Qing to his office.
"Dad! Commander, you called me."
Qi Ergang came in and greeted people out of habit, but suddenly saw Si Qing was there too. He changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Chief." Si Qing greeted respectfully.
"You are here." Qi Huo put down the report in his hand and looked up.
Qi'er was a rather impatient person, and seeing that Qihuo hadn't spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Commander, you called us here because you have a mission to give us? If there is a mission, just give it to me. I can do it myself."
Why did you ask him to come with that annoying guy?
There are tasks that he can complete by himself, without the help of others.
Si Qing understood the meaning of Qi'er's words, but did not say anything and still had a gentle smile on his face.
"There is a mission, but it requires the two of you to lead the team to complete it."
Qihuo certainly knew his son's character and simply ignored Qier's words.
Si Qing thought about the recent major events in the base and spoke slowly: "Is it about finding a water source?"
"Tsk, the commander hasn't spoken yet, why are you making wild guesses? Don't be too obsessed with showing off. Sometimes, you'll just end up shooting yourself in the foot."
Qi'er couldn't stand Si Qing's behavior and made sarcastic remarks on the side.
"Okay, why are you making so much noise here? Are there any rules?" Qihuo was furious when he saw his son's useless appearance.
Especially when compared with Si Qing, who is excellent in all aspects, the contrast is even more obvious.
However, he would not praise Si Qing too much, after all, he was that man's son!
Qi Huo coughed lightly a few times and said in a deep voice.
"Si Qing is right. The report sent down below says that several water sources around here have dried up, and the remaining North Lake won't last much longer."
"I asked you two to come here today because you are the best people in the base. Therefore, I will entrust you with the difficult task of finding a water source. You must work together to complete this mission."
Qihuo and they were given the task.
"Okay, Chief. Si Qing will definitely do his best."
The task was expected, so Si Qing was not too surprised.
"Hmph! I will definitely complete this task!" Qi'er snorted coldly and looked at Si Qing with disdain.
You really guessed it right!
Haha, you must be very proud at this moment!
We were in the same office, but the office wasn't very big.
Qi'er's little trick was naturally noticed by Qihuo, but he chose to turn a blind eye and ignored it.
"Okay, time is short and the mission is heavy, you guys hurry down and get ready, then we'll set off."
Qihuo waved at them, indicating that if there was nothing wrong, they should get busy.
Si Qing bowed politely to Qi Huo, "Commander, I will prepare in the afternoon then."
"Then I'm leaving too!"
Chil followed up.
In the office, Qi'er did not explicitly point out that he would not cooperate with Si Qing.
But after leaving the office, the first words he said were to Si Qing with a proud look on his face.
"Aren't you amazing? Do you dare to compete with me to see who can find the water source faster?"
Si Qing looked at Qi'er as if he was a mentally retarded person.
I don't quite understand what this guy is doing. Is there something wrong with him?
Do you think this mission is just a game of elementary school?
Qi'er was a little angry when he saw Si Qing didn't say anything, but he still added a sentence to his own.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. Just wait and see. This time I will find it before you."
After saying that, Qi'er strode away with his long legs.
Si Qing looked at Qi'er's arrogant back, shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly.
It's amazing that this guy can be the collection team leader of the base.
Si Qing didn't stay for long and walked towards the stairs on the other side.
Just as the leader said, it hasn't rained for more than half a month and all the usable water sources around have dried up.
If we don’t find a new water source quickly, tens of thousands of people in the entire base will die of thirst.

Here, Song Zhi had just opened a piece of ice cream and hadn't put it in his mouth when the door of the supermarket was pushed open.
Song Zhi looked over with an ice cream in her hand.
Si Qingzheng pushed the door open and saw Song Zhi looking at her. She greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, nice to see you again, Boss Song."
"Hello, Si... Si what?"
Song Zhi looked at the handsome man in front of her and thought of his name in her mind, but her brain had limited storage, so she only thought of half of it.
"Si Qing." Si Qing reminded kindly.
"Oh, yes, Si Qing." Song Zhi remembered, his eyes becoming faintly hot, "You are here to buy supplies again, you can go in and take a look, the things you bought before are back in stock!"
Great, the God of Wealth is here again.
If she spends tens of millions more this time, she will take off directly.
Is there stock again?
Hearing this, Si Qing was shocked and turned to look inside the supermarket.
He discovered that the shelves he had emptied before were restocked with goods, in the same quantity and quality as before.
Where did this guy get so many supplies?
Si Qing couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but out of politeness, he didn't ask.
Obviously, this touched upon the other party's secret.
"Well, this time I came here to seek cooperation from Boss Song." Si Qing felt that it was more important to get down to business.
"Cooperation?" Song Zhi became interested.
"Yes, it's cooperation. Boss Song, you know the weather outside. I want to ask how much water there is in the supermarket. I bought it all."
He has taken a look around the base in the past few days.
But no new water sources were discovered.
Moreover, the deepest North Lake has begun to dry up, not to mention other places.
Instead of searching in the wilderness outside, why not try your luck in the supermarket?
The supermarket was rich in supplies, including plenty of water and even beverages, and he planned to buy them all if there was any left in stock.
Song Zhi kept staring at him, was silent for two seconds, and then asked a question.
In fact, although it is said to be a question, Song Zhi actually said a statement.
She guessed it.
"Is there not enough water in your base?"
"Ah? Yes... yes, Boss Song is so amazing, he can guess this." Si Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that Song Zhi could see it right away.
