"Everyone, think quickly, where is there a water source nearby?"
Before the apocalypse, Ye Lei worked part-time as a deliveryman and only came to Yixiantian once, which was organized by his class. Unlike those goddesses, he could travel and enjoy himself all day long.
"Brother Lei, maybe I have a way, but I don't know if it's possible?"
Chen Xueer suddenly said.
"Just say it already, what time is it? Stop beating around the bush!"
Ye Lei was extremely anxious; being cut off from the water supply was no different from being killed.
"I remember there was an underground river inside the Narrow Gorge, but I wonder if it's dried up now?"
Chen Xueer's words immediately reminded Ye Lei that when he went in last time, he heard the sound of flowing water, so the water should still be flowing.
"Yes, I'll go take a look now."
After Ye Lei finished speaking, he set off towards the narrow passage. Just as he reached the entrance of the cave, his classmates saw him and were surprised that Ye Lei had time to come here.
However, some classmates still ran to tell Zhou Binhui as fast as they could, and just a few minutes later, Zhou Binhui came running over, panting.
"Ye... Lei, what brings you here?"
Zhou Binhui asked breathlessly.
"Oh, I just came to take a look."
Ye Lei seemed very relaxed.
"This place is really nice! Look, those crops are almost ripe. I'll send them over to you then!"
Zhou Binhui assumed Ye Lei had run out of food and pointed to the crops in the distance.
"That's not urgent. I just came to see if there's still water in that underground river."
Ye Lei said slowly.
"Yes, the water flow is quite strong, enough for the students and for watering the fields. Let me take you to see it!"
After Zhou Binhui finished speaking, he led Ye Lei to the edge of a pool. Water was flowing continuously from the rock wall on one side, all of which flowed into the pool. As for where the unused water went, no one knew. This was an underground river.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Our shelter is running low on water. Why don't you get the students to install a water pipe for the shelter?"
Seeing this, Ye Lei made up his mind.
"Oh right, I forgot, there's no water outside. We've been busy making food all day long."
Zhou Binhui awkwardly scratched his head and said.
"Here's the thing, I've already put the water pipe at the entrance of the cave. You just need to bring the water to the edge of the shelter wall. We'll take care of the water inside ourselves."
Even though Zhou Binhui is not as domineering as before, Ye Lei still will not allow anyone else to enter the shelter; this is his principle.
"Are you sure you can do it? Or should I lead the other students to install it for you?"
Zhou Binhui said enthusiastically.
"I told you it's none of your business inside, don't you understand?"
Ye Lei didn't want to get into a fight with him.
"Okay, I'll arrange for the students to install the water pipes right away."
Zhou Binhui remembered what Ye Lei had said before, and quickly called his classmates to go to the cave entrance to get the water pipes.
Ye Lei also needs to hurry back to install the water pipes for the shelter, which will solve the shelter's water problem.
"Apart from those who are pregnant, anyone who can't work, come with me!"
Ye Lei returned to the villa and shouted loudly.
"Brother Lei, is there any water yet?"
"Yes, now go install the water pipes."
"good"
Led by Ye Lei, the goddesses arrived at the back of the shelter and began installing water pipes.
Although these goddesses appear delicate and weak, they display astonishing resilience and perseverance. Holding various tools, they diligently connect the water pipes, as if creating a new world.
Fortunately, the installation tools were fairly complete, which gave them more confidence to complete the task.
Whenever there was a need for assistance, Ye Lei would always lend a helping hand without hesitation. His strength and skills made the work much easier, and with everyone's efforts, the water pipe installation was completed quickly.
As Ye Lei stood on the wall, Zhou Binhui led his classmates to pull the water pipe out of the narrow passage. When the two water pipes were connected, the source of life was completely connected.
"Okay, you can connect the water now."
Ye Lei saw that the water pipes on both sides were already connected and shouted loudly.
"Okay, I understand."
A student ran inside, and soon, water from the narrow passage was drawn out along the pipes. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Hearing the sound of water flowing into the storage tank, everyone knew that there was finally hope.
"President Zhou, remember to tell the students to reinforce the water pipes so they don't break after a short time."
Ye Lei still habitually calls Zhou Binhui that.
"Okay, don't worry. Just let us know if the water runs out."
Looking at the winding water pipe in front of him, Zhou Binhui couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He knew that this was not just an ordinary water pipe, but also their way of repaying Ye Lei for the place to live that he had given him.
When Ye Lei jumped down from the wall, a hint of relief and pride appeared in his eyes. He secretly rejoiced at the decision he had made to allow Zhou Binhui and the others to live in this "narrow strip of sky".
At first, he didn't think too much about it, just that this would make full use of the land's resources and avoid waste. However, now it seems that this decision has become the key to solving the major problems facing the refuge.
"Brother Lei, I think I still have some concerns."
Tang Xiaoting walked over and said.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Look, the oil in those storage tanks will run out sooner or later. Will there be a power outage then?"
Tang Xiaoting looked at the row of oil storage tanks behind her and said.
"I remember these were put up not long ago, right? They should still last a long time."
Ye Lei remembered that he had already changed it once.
"But it'll all run out sooner or later!"
Tang Xiaoting's thinking goes quite far ahead.
"Yes, you're right. However, I still have some in my storage space. Let's leave it at that for now. If it doesn't work, I'll go collect more!"
Ye Lei confidently patted his chest and said that he felt he had enough ability to deal with this problem.
"Brother Lei, by the time all this oil is used up, Tomato City will probably be submerged. Where will we be able to find any more?"
Tang Xiaoting frowned and said with concern.
"So you mean we should go to Tomato City right now and take all the gasoline and diesel we can find?"
Ye Lei raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xiaoting with a puzzled expression. He understood her concerns and didn't want to give up the opportunity to find energy easily.
"Haha... I wouldn't dare assign you any tasks, you figure it out yourself!"
Tang Xiaoting said with a smile, then turned and left. She knew that Ye Lei had his own judgment and decision-making ability.
"Thank you for reminding me, I will consider it."
Ye Lei called out to Tang Xiaoting's retreating figure, then pondered to himself. He realized that he had to find a long-term, effective solution to ensure that the shelter could continue to receive a sufficient energy supply.
