Chapter 254 Convenience
Zhou Ying reached out and grabbed the crystal core, quickly stuffing it into Lin Xi's hand, "This is for you. Absorb it and see if the space can be upgraded."
Lin Xi hesitated and said, "Let's give it to Director Wang."
Director Wang waved his hand and said, "Here you go. We've already reached a consensus on this. I'll give you the crystal core so you can upgrade your space."
"You should hurry up and absorb it."
Lin Xi thought about it and suddenly said, "I think we can wait a little longer."
Zhou Ying looked at her, "Why?"
Lin Xi said with a smile: "Isn't there someone else in the space?"
"If we get them out, there will be a lot of fighting. If someone escapes by mistake, it will be troublesome."
"There's only 20 square meters of space, so I guess there won't be much supplies. We might as well wait a few days. They might kill each other for food and water."
Zhou Ying chuckled, "You're being too mean. Can't you just give them a quick death?"
"But I like this idea. If we wait a few days, the people inside will probably drown in the pit."
Song Huaijin looked at Lin Xi lovingly, "That's fine, it saves us from having to do it ourselves."
Director Wang rubbed his hands excitedly. "Then tomorrow, shall we go to the shelter to recruit people? We need to start the space construction as soon as possible."
"Zhou Ying, first think about who you want to recruit."
Lin Xi was also thinking about it, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Let's not rush to recruit people."
"We'd better go to other cities, find some construction sites, and get some excavators, cranes, pile drivers, and other such things."
"We also need to get all the necessary mechanical materials and other things."
Director Wang slapped his thigh and said, "That's absolutely right. So, shall we set off tomorrow?"
Song Huaijin poured a bucket of cold water on him, "How many people will go if we set off?"
"Should we go all of them, or just half? There must be psychics and zombies in other cities too. It would be dangerous if we go too few people."
"It would be dangerous if we left half of the people here."
"If everyone goes, will this Xishan base be abandoned?"
No one is willing to give up the Xishan base.
After all, even if space is to be built, it takes time.
Before the space is built, this is still the most ideal residence.
Director Wang thought about it and said, "This is indeed a problem."
"Let's put it this way. Everyone's been working hard lately. Let's put aside all the other things and rest for a while. Then, we should come up with a plan for what kind of infrastructure, materials, machinery, and talent the space needs. We can't just act like a headless chicken."
"During this period, Lao Song and Xiao Zhou will be responsible for communicating with the experts, researching information, and coming up with a complete space construction plan."
"Once the plan comes out, we'll decide how to act."
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Ying flattered him again with a smile, "A leader is a leader, he sees the problem very clearly."
Director Wang chuckled and said, "Come on, everyone go back and rest. We'll have another meeting once the plan is ready."
Everyone headed towards the tenth district. After dealing with Yang Wei, they could sleep well tonight.
Qi Mo held Lin Xi's hand, while Zhou Ying walked on her other side. Suddenly, he asked, "Sister Xi, what's going on in your space right now?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I don't know, but I guess it must be very interesting."
There was a dead silence in the space at this moment.
Suddenly someone said, "I don't have a watch. Do you know how many minutes have passed?"
This is the question on everyone's mind.
Not many modern people wear watches anymore, they are more used to checking the time on their mobile phones.
However, some people prepared some things in advance after learning about the meteorite.
Zhu Kai only has a watch, and his backpack also contains a flashlight, a multi-functional folding military knife, a military shovel, a thermal blanket, etc.
Several people also wore watches.
Ever since Yang Wei left, they have been staring at their watches.
Ten minutes have now passed.
But they are still in the space and have not gone out.
No one dared to even think about what this meant.
Xu Nan's voice trembled, "Has it been five minutes?"
No one answered her.
Everyone knows it, but no one dares to expose this fact.
A girl next to Xu Nan suddenly started crying. Her voice was very soft, but the space was so small that no matter how soft her voice was, everyone could hear it.
Zhu Kai was also in despair, but he did not allow himself to despair any longer. He shouted, "Why are you crying? Yang Wei might have been delayed by something. Maybe if we wait a few more minutes, we can get out."
The girl screamed sharply, "You're lying! We can't get out. Yang Wei must have been captured or is dead. We'll be trapped here forever, and we won't be alive for long!"
Zhu Kai's face was gloomy, but he couldn't refute the girl's words.
He could only yell, "Stop crying! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll kill you."
The girl raised her head and said, "Go ahead and kill me. I'll die sooner or later anyway. I can't stand this torture anymore."
Zhu Kai raised his hand towards the girl. Suddenly, someone said, "Forget it. What's the point of killing her? She's right. It's been more than ten minutes. Yang Wei is in great danger."
Someone said quietly, "We may not be unable to get out. If Yang Wei dies, the crystal core he left behind will definitely not be wasted. Someone will absorb it."
"By then, we should be released, but the moment we are released, that will be our death."
Someone said gloomily, "I doubt Yang Wei is dead."
"Maybe he just wants to trap us to death in space."
The other shook his head. "That's probably not true. If Yang Wei wants to trick us, he can just throw us out. There's no need to go to such great lengths."
Xu Nan suddenly started yelling, "I'm so annoyed. Can you guys please stop talking?"
She suddenly stood up, walked to the corner, and kicked the person sitting in the corner, "Go away, I, I need to - I need to go to the bathroom."
The man frowned, "You're so convenient? It would be all over the place. At least you could use a basin or something!"
Xu Nan shouted irritably, "Where is the basin? There's only expired bread here and not even a few bottles of water. Where can I find a basin?"
Someone threw an empty bottle at Xu Nan, hitting him on the head.
Xu Nan turned around with hatred and picked up the bottle.
She was just about to pull up her pants when she realized that everyone in the space was looking at her.
How the hell do I pee like this!
But if she didn't pee, she felt like her bladder was going to explode.
She gritted her teeth, took off her windbreaker, wrapped it around her waist, and squatted down with her back to the crowd.
Between dying from holding her urine and social death, she had no choice but to choose social death.
