My Endless Life

72 hours is not short, but not long either.

Zhao Hong finally spent two days to transfer all members to the underground city, but found that there were less than ten hours left before the deadline.

Ten hours to find a new energy source that can maintain the operation of the entire underground city.

This is almost impossible!

The only way now is to find a strange object.

A strange object that can replace electricity and maintain the energy operation of the entire underground city!

But strange objects are not cabbages even in the current era, otherwise there would not be only a few dozen strange object holders in Chunhui City with a population of more than two million.

Even these dozens were transferred from other cities!

Zhao Hong's hair turned white because of this worry.

On the contrary, Director Li acted very calm. In his office in the administrative building of the underground city, he looked at Zhao Hong who was getting more and more haggard and comforted him:

"Okay, Xiao Zhao, you go and rest first. I'll take care of the underground city. You haven't closed your eyes for more than fifty hours, right?"

"Director Li, I dare not close my eyes! There are only ten hours left now. If we can't find a way within ten hours, we will be trapped in the underground city in the future!"

Not only that, the vegetables and grains grown indoors, as well as the livestock raised, all require machinery, even high-end precision machinery.

Without electricity, these machines will become scrap iron, and the output of grain will not keep up.

By then, half of the people in the underground city may die again.

And they may still starve to death.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but be anxious, after all, these were all living lives.

Director Li certainly knew the seriousness of the matter, but even if he knew, what could he do?

The inability to use electricity is not a problem with technology, but someone has used a strange object to make the existence of "electricity" disappear.

Science cannot solve this problem, only strange objects can solve it, but strange objects are not so easy to deal with. What else can they do now except sit here and wait for the darkness to come?

After all, they have done everything they can do, and it is useless to worry now.

Dong Dong Dong.

When Zhao Hong was worried, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Hong said "come in" without raising his head, and the door was opened. Xu Leying, wearing glasses, walked in from outside:

"Zhao... Director Zhao, our captain wants to see you."

"Meng An?"

Zhao Hong raised his head after hearing what Xu Leying said.

Zhao Hong didn't bother Meng An these days, because he knew that everyone has expertise. Meng An's ability is good, but apart from the strange objects on him, he is just a smart kid.

Zhao Hong didn't want to put most of the affairs on a child. If Meng An hadn't insisted on being a captain, Zhao Hong would have thrown him to the capital to take classes with those kids.

So now that such a big thing has happened, Zhao Hong didn't ask Meng An to maintain order and act as an artificial battery when necessary, and didn't ask him to do anything else.

On the one hand, he didn't want to, and on the other hand, he felt that no matter how smart Meng An was, he probably couldn't do anything in the face of such a big thing.

In addition, the most critical point is that with Meng An's personality, if he doesn't want to do it, no matter what Zhao Hong says, it's useless.

On the other hand, if Meng An wants to do it, then Zhao Hong doesn't need to say it, Meng An will take the initiative to come to the door.

For example, now.

Hearing that Meng An wanted to find him, Zhao Hong thought for a long time, and finally asked Xu Leying:

"Where is your captain now?"

"He...uh, in the power plant."

Xu Leying answered truthfully.

...

The power plant in the underground city is a nuclear power plant. This nuclear power plant was not built within a month, but was transferred from Chunhui City to the underground using a strange object.

Not only the power plant here, but all the underground power plants in the country are like this.

After all, rebuilding a power plant is too time-consuming, and what China lacks most now is time, so China asked someone to use the space transfer artifact to move the entire power plant underground.

Not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed during the period, the price paid is even higher.

However, even if it costs so much, the power plant that has been moved underground will be unusable in ten hours, because no matter how it generates electricity, it cannot be transmitted to other precision instruments.

However...

During this day, Li Qi found a way to make the power plant operate normally.

"Meng An!"

Li Qi was observing the situation here in the power plant. Zhao Hong had come here under the guidance of Xu Leying and greeted Li Qi.

Li Qi asked without looking back:

"Has the power generation problem been solved?"

"...Not yet. If it really doesn't work, I can only ask the witch god to take action again."

Zhao Hong said in a deep voice.

Is this a solution to the problem?

Although he didn't know what the witch god was, he knew that the cost of using this strange object might be more serious than the Twelve Golden Immortals, otherwise the higher-ups wouldn't have revealed some information about the witch god until now.

But compared to those costs, Zhao Hong felt that the lives of more than one million people in the underground city were more important!

Not only these more than one million lives, the entire China now has more than 30 large and small underground cities and hundreds of millions of people, all of which need "electricity" to save their lives!

For these people, the higher-ups must be willing to pay more to maintain the existence of "electricity".

The premise is that they really can't find any other way.

"The price for wanting the Witch God to take action is probably something the higher-ups are not willing to bear. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used it until now, let alone only for 72 hours. Don't think about it. It's impossible."

Li Qi poured cold water on Zhao Hong.

If the power could be maintained by allowing the Witch God to exist, then the higher-ups would have done so long ago without giving each place a 72-hour time limit.

Since a time limit is given, it proves that beyond this time limit, the higher-ups will either no longer be able to pay the corresponding price, or they will not be able to summon the Witch God even if they pay the price.

No matter what, the Witch God can't count on them, they can only rely on themselves.

Zhao Hong can naturally think of things that Li Qi can think of, but he has no other way. In the current situation, besides counting on the Witch God, who else can he count on?

After clenching his fists and remaining silent for a long time, Zhao Hong finally chose to skip the topic and asked Li Qi:

"You came to me, what's the matter?"

"In the past few days, I have thought of a way to maintain power, so I plan to make a deal with you."

"What?! You found a way?!"

Zhao Hong was surprised when he heard this, and then he was delighted. He came to Li Qi in a few steps, squatted down and looked directly at him and asked: "Do you really have a way?!"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Li Qi then moved his eyes away from the nuclear generator in front of him and looked at Zhao Hong:

"Yes, but you should know that if you want me to take action, you need to pay a corresponding price. After all, 'I' am also a rare object."

"..."

Zhao Hong was stunned.

He knew that the body Li Qi was using was a rare thing called a 'Wish Doll'. As long as he paid the price, his wish could be fulfilled.

But I never thought that I could even achieve my ‘wish’ to maintain electricity.

However, these issues were not mentioned for the time being. Zhao Hong thought about it seriously and said solemnly:

"As long as you can restore power, no matter the cost, we are willing to pay!"

"It's not up to you to say this."

Li Qi's eyes moved away from Zhao Hong again, fell on the generator, and said softly: "It depends on what the above said."

"...Then tell me first, what do you want?"

"It's very simple. First, lend me the Twelve Golden Immortal Pictures. Don't worry, you won't have to pay the price. Second, I won't be the teacher of those naughty children, but the previous conditions cannot be invalidated. When you enter When exploring historical sites, take me with you unconditionally.

"Third, give me... all the information."

Li Qi paused at the end, his eyes a little confused, and then repeated the third condition.

"Give me all the information on ■■■!"

Zhao Hong: "?"

The silence in Li Qi's words was so obvious that Zhao Hong couldn't hear it clearly and his expression became blank.

Li Qi's face turned dark instantly. He stared at Zhao Hong and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and said to Zhao Hong:

"...Forget it, let's complete the first two conditions first, and we'll talk about the last condition when the time comes."

"Okay, I promise you all these two conditions!"

Zhao Hong selectively ignored Li Qi's third condition and responded seriously.

Li Qi looked at Zhao Hong strangely: "Can you make the decision?"

"As long as you can restore the power to Chunhui City, then I can make the decision!"

Zhao Hong is extremely sure of this.

As long as Li Qi can still maintain the power supply in Chunhui City after the time limit is over, then he can guarantee that the superiors can agree to any of Li Qi's conditions!

Also willing to pay any price for using ‘Li Qi’!

After all, compared with the cost of using the Witch God and the Twelve Golden Immortal Pictures, Li Qi's costs are simply not too easy.

"Very good, then you can ask all the staff here to leave. The method I am going to use next is a personal secret."

Li Qi said to Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong was startled: "All of them? Can't I stay too?"

"No, hurry up, we don't have much time."

Li Qi urged.

Zhao Hong stared deeply at Li Qi for a long time. In the end, without saying a word, he stood up and ordered the power plant staff to leave.

He knew that he might be gambling.

After all, no one has verified Li Qi's method, and now they can't verify Li Qi's method.

But anyway, in a few hours, the world will plunge into darkness. In this case, it will be the same a few hours earlier and a few hours later.

Besides, if Li Qi takes action now, the nuclear power plant is temporarily suspended, and they still have backup energy available.

If they really waited until all the power was gone, they wouldn't even be able to use the backup energy source. Regardless of whether other places could bear the darkness for a few hours, the hospital would definitely not be able to bear it anyway.

Previous major blackouts have killed many people who rely on electricity to survive. If the time of losing power is extended to a few hours.

Then I'm afraid more people will die.

Zhao Hong knew very well how to choose.
