Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Starting Over

Everyone stared at the hole in the ground in a daze, some unable to react. However, Qin Yu, Lu Chen and Li Yi roughly knew what was going on.

Qin Yu walked down the slope to a flat area and shouted coldly, "Everyone gather!"

The soldiers came to their senses and quickly came to Qin Yu and lined up.

"We don't need so many people here right now. Squad leaders, please lead your teams back to the camp to rest."

After sending the soldiers away, Qin Yu returned to the excavation host, and the three of them focused their attention on Su Qing.

"Uh... I just tried it and found that I could take it out directly." As he said that, Su Qing took the host out of the backpack and placed it on the ground carefully.

She also took the opportunity to check whether the host could be refreshed. The refresh page showed that it was a damaged host that could be refreshed into a supercomputer host. However, the system told her that once refreshed, the data inside would be lost, which made her temporarily give up the idea.

"Girl, is it broken? Can it be fixed?" Li Yi looked at Su Qing with shining eyes.

Su Qing shook his head awkwardly, "I don't know and I don't know how to fix it. If it gets through my hands, the data will be gone..."

Several people stood around the machine and looked at it for a long time, but no one could see anything.

Li Yi looked dejected. "We don't even have the tools to dismantle it. It seems we have to seek help from the elites in the capital..."

"I asked Professor Gu. There are four machines in this lab. This is only the first one. Let's keep digging." Lu Chen looked at Su Qing. "If there are any traces, can you... put it away?"

Su Qing nodded and put away the machine on the ground.

The four of them squatted on the ground and continued digging. Several machines were next to each other, and soon they found all of them.

Three of the machines were in good condition, but one was smashed into pieces. Su Qing did not let go of any of the pieces and collected them all.

Several people then came to Qin Yu's tent and tidied up briefly. While washing their hands, Su Qing inadvertently glanced at the hands of the three people in front of him. He saw that their hands were covered with wounds of varying sizes. Many of the wounds were embedded with mud and sand and continued to ooze blood.

But she was quite poor now and didn't even have gauze or medicine on her body.

"Is there a military doctor?"

The three of them stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Su Qing, anxiously asking, "Are you hurt?"

Su Qing waved his hands repeatedly, explaining with concern in his tone, "I'm not injured. I see your hands are covered with wounds. If there is a military doctor, please call him to treat your wounds. The mud and sand are too dirty, don't let the wounds get infected or inflamed."

Qin Yu put down the towel in his hand and said, "I'll go get someone."

The three people in the tent had nothing to do for the time being. Lu Chen and Li Yi were tired after a busy night, so they each found a corner to close their eyes and rest.

Su Qing took out a towel and a comb and sat on a chair to comb Fuguier's hair.

Fuguier stayed at the base and followed Qin Yu for most of the night. Although its claws were sharp, it was injured after digging bricks for a long time. Later, Qin Yu sent someone to send it to his tent to rest.

When it saw Su Qing coming back, it twisted its wet and dirty fur and acted coquettishly to its master, "This king is almost dying of discomfort!"

She combed the hair carefully, afraid of hurting the dog, and gently used the comb to loosen the clumps of hair. Soon, Fugui'er's originally messy hair gradually became smooth.

"So handsome." Su Qing said as he half-hugged Fuguier in his arms and gently stroked its head and back. Fuguier squinted his eyes comfortably and purred with satisfaction.

The tent curtain was lifted, and Qin Yu walked in with someone. The two took off their raincoats, and Su Qing could see clearly that the person was Qingshan. He was holding a box in his hand, and the big red cross logo in the middle was particularly eye-catching.

Su Qing thought: This guy is actually a doctor? As expected of a special forces veteran, he's an all-rounder.

Seeing Su Qing staring at him intently, Qingshan smiled slightly, placed the medicine box on the table, and explained, "There are only two military doctors now, and there are many injured and sick people in the camp, so they are busy right now. I've studied medical knowledge for a while, so I can be of use."

"Hey, why do we need a military doctor for this minor injury? We can handle it ourselves." Li Yi heard the voice, opened his eyes, stood up and walked over.

Later, Lu Chen also woke up. Several people sat around the table to treat the wound. Su Qing was still curled up in a chair not far from them. She supported her chin with one hand and looked straight ahead, but her eyes were unfocused and her brows were slightly furrowed, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"What are your plans next?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.

There was silence in the air and no one answered.

Su Qing came back to her senses, looked back, and saw that several people were looking at her. Only then did she realize that Lu Chen was talking to her.

"I...I don't know either." Su Qing sighed deeply.

Now she was penniless, the base had returned to its pre-liberation state, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in the temporary camp waiting for her to arrange a place to stay. She didn't know where to start.

"Have you...ever thought about moving the base closer to the capital?"

Lu Chen's words made Su Qing stunned for a moment. Moving the base... She had indeed had this idea before. The location of the Dawn Base was a bit remote. Although there were no major forces around to disturb her, it was still very inconvenient for some things.

Just searching for supplies is extremely difficult now. There are not many cities around, and they have been searched many times by everyone in the base. The shortage of resources will cause problems sooner or later.

However, relocating the base was too complicated and tedious, so she never considered it again.

Su Qing smiled bitterly, "I've thought about it, but moving the base requires a lot of investment in personnel, supplies, and building a suitable location. The conditions simply don't allow it."

But the situation now is not much better. There are still hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting for food in the temporary camps.

"If... we can cooperate with the capital..." Thinking of this, Su Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. She had been trying to find ways to exchange resources with the capital to build closer relations. After all, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade, and there is nothing more reliable than the state machinery. It's just that the two places are far apart, and it takes quite some time to go back and forth, so some things are difficult to communicate in time.

Lu Chen felt Su Qing's gaze. He nodded slightly, looked at Su Qing gently, and motioned her to continue.

"If we can establish a win-win cooperative relationship with the capital, utilize the capital's resources to build a base, and then use the base's efficient production capacity to share the capital's pressure..."

"It's just... I'm not sure if I can..." Su Qing stood up quickly and said hurriedly, "I want to go home." Then he strode out of the tent.

Fuguier, who was lying at Su Qing's feet, looked at his master's receding back with a confused look on his face.

What happened? Where was its owner? Fuguier turned his head and yelled "Ah Wu" to the others in the room.

Qin Yu stretched his bound hands, stood up, walked over to Fuguier, and patted him on the head twice. "It's okay, she'll be back soon."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Chen, his eyes cold and stern, "I don't care what your plans are, just one thing, don't involve her in those messes."

Lu Chen's originally gentle gaze gradually changed its meaning. "Captain Qin, oh no, Commander Qin, in what capacity are you telling me this?"

Qin Yu pursed his lips and said nothing. He looked at Lu Chen deeply, then turned and left the tent.

…

Su Qing borrowed a car outside the tent and drove all the way to the teleportation portal to go home.

"So, as long as I pay the relocation fee, the base can start over somewhere else?"

"Yes."

On the way back, she had asked the system. The base could be moved, but it required money. That was good. This was very much the system's style.

"But didn't you say that once the base location is confirmed, it cannot be changed?" Su Qing asked suspiciously.

She clearly remembered what the system said when the base was first created.

"Special matters must be handled specially. For the better development of Dawn Base and for you, the host, to complete your mission more quickly, we, as the commanders, must of course give our full support."

"Your attitude of wavering for money is truly not that of a noble character. As the host, I despise you!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"..." She was truly far behind in terms of high-tech shamelessness.

Su Qing flipped through the warehouse page, picked out some things and put them into his backpack, then asked the system to sell all the items in the warehouse.

"Let's sell this courtyard house too."

She sold all her assets.

A warning sound came from her ears. Su Qing stood in the yard and watched her beloved courtyard house turn back into the dilapidated wooden house on the first day she came here in an instant.

Su Qing stood in front of the wooden house and gently pushed the wooden door. With a creak, the wooden door wobbled and opened inward. She walked in and looked at the empty room with rain leaking everywhere, and sighed.

"Dear host, don't forget that you still owe me a little money. Due to the special circumstances, automatic deductions will not be made at this time. There are still six days left until the due date!"

anger!

After hearing this, Su Qing felt very uncomfortable. Just when she was about to lose her temper, the roar of a helicopter was heard outside the wooden house.

She adjusted her mood and walked out of the wooden house, just in time to see Qin Yu jump off the plane and stride towards her.

Qin Yu looked around for a few times, a trace of confusion appeared between his brows, "Here..."

"Oh...I've had enough of the courtyard house, so I moved to a new house." In the rain, Su Qing's lips curled up with a self-deprecating smile. She extended her hand and introduced, "It has a pastoral style. It's realistic enough, right?"

Su Qing's words stunned Qin Yu for a moment. Looking at her depressed expression, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "What happened?"

"What do you want from me?"

They both spoke at the same time.

The rain gradually got heavier, and water droplets kept sliding down the strands of hair on Qin Yu's forehead. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of hesitation.

Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a while, Su Qing looked at the increasingly heavy rain and simply said, "How about we go to the helicopter and talk?"

Qin Yu nodded, and the two of them immediately went into the helicopter cabin and took off their raincoats. The warm air blew in their faces, dispelling the cold and dampness outside.

Su Qing sat in the seat, staring through the porthole at the gradually blurred scenery outside.

Qin Yu sat opposite him. He bent down slightly, clasped his hands on his knees, looked at Su Qing and said slowly: "I want to tell you that perhaps moving to the northwest will be more conducive to the survival of the base."

Seeing Su Qing looking at him in confusion, Qin Yu continued, "A hundred years ago, the country conducted a disaster prediction assessment. If extreme climate conditions occur on Blue Planet in the next few years, the northwest will be the most suitable place for human survival. Therefore, the government has been building important facilities and bases in the northwest. When the end of the world comes, the capital will be moved there as soon as possible."

"Following recent extreme weather events, military satellites have been sending images back to China from time to time, showing that the topography of many places has begun to change. If extreme conditions continue, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, inland flooding, typhoons, tsunamis, and rising sea levels will devastate some areas."

Su Qing's breathing stagnated and his eyes widened in horror.
