Chapter 93 Chapter 93 What makes you uneasy is the zombie leader...
"I think we should keep digging the well. Dig deeper. The amount of ice and snow from the previous extreme cold weather melted and seeped into the ground when it got warmer. The groundwater must be abundant. It's impossible for it to have dried up in such a short time."
"I also agree to continue digging wells."
"But it's too deep and we don't have the tools to dig down..."
Several experts took turns speaking. Fang Qing, who was listening on the side, frowned. Not to mention how much work it would take to dig a well, the wells around the farmland had already been dug several hundred meters down. It would be difficult to operate further without machinery, and no one could guarantee whether water would come out. If no water was found, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
At this moment, Su Qing interrupted the discussion and said, "I'll take care of the rainfall issue."
The experts didn't recognize Su Qing and looked at her with confusion. Distrust flashed in some of their eyes. "How are you, a mere woman, supposed to solve the problem of rainfall? Do you have a rain-enhancing catalyst? Or a dedicated aircraft or cannon?"
"I will find a way to create artificial rainfall, please rest assured."
Others may not know, but Fang Qing, who was standing by, knew Su Qing very well. Since she had said it, it would definitely come true. Since the problem could be solved, there was no need to expose it here, so she asked everyone to leave.
Several experts were a little angry. They were called out to the sun for a long time in such hot weather, but in the end their opinions were not adopted. Instead, the experts listened to the words of a young girl. Who could tolerate this!
"I'm telling you, we can't afford to waste these crops any longer. Digging a well now might save half of them. Waiting a few more days won't even save them!"
Fang Qing reassured them, "Don't worry, professors. We won't be late! Thank you for taking the trouble to come here in this hot weather. I've already prepared a table in the cafeteria and will have someone take you there right away."
"Hmph...you young people, you're so willful! You don't consider the overall situation. You just believe any little girl who says she can solve the problem, and instead you don't trust us experts who have studied agriculture for decades. You will regret it!"
Several experts left angrily after making their remarks.
Watching the backs of the few people walking away, Fang Qing turned back to look at Su Qing and said helplessly: "He is indeed an expert, with such a bad temper."
Su Qing smiled and said, "It's okay. They will lose their temper when they see the rain."
After that, Su Qing kept checking for deficiencies and fixing them in the base. It was already evening when she finished. She returned to her residence exhausted. Fuguier had been staying in the base research institute. The courtyard was now quiet, with only a few lanterns swaying in the warm breeze.
After eating something simple and washing up, Su Qing fell on the bed and studied the weather with the system.
It is called artificial rainfall, but to be more precise it should be called artificial rain enhancement, which requires launching rain-enhancing shells into the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky to obtain more rainfall.
The system told Su Qing that it would be the perfect time to launch the rain-making bomb at night two days later.
After telling Fang Qing the news, Su Qing quickly fell asleep.
…
Su Qing kept running, but there was always a pair of blood-red eyes staring at her from behind, and no matter what Su Qing did, she couldn't get rid of them.
She didn't know how long she had been running. Finally, she ran out of strength and her steps gradually slowed down. A corrupt hand grabbed her arm and a cold voice sounded from behind her ear.
"You can't get away!"
"You'll have to join me sooner or later!"
The thick blood color filled the surroundings. Su Qing seemed to fall into a bottomless pool of blood for an instant. Countless hands grabbed her and pulled her down. She kept struggling until her strength was exhausted. Her body slowly sank, her mouth and nose were covered by the fishy-smelling blood, and a feeling of suffocation followed.
In the pool of blood, all that could be seen was blood red. A pale blue zombie was standing not far away, watching Su Qing, who was twitching from time to time due to suffocation. Its sinister blood-red eyes were filled with a smile, and the corners of its mouth moved slightly.
"Welcome to a whole new world."
Su Qing, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She was gasping for breath and it took a while for her to calm down.
She turned her head to look out the window. It was getting light. She lay down again but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the bloody scene lingered in her mind.
Ever since the last zombie attack on the city, she has often fallen into nightmares. With a sigh, Su Qing got up, washed, and then walked out of the yard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several gunshots broke the early morning tranquility.
Su Qing was wearing a black training uniform, with her hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head. She exuded a cool aura. She held a pistol in one hand, pointing it at a target not far ahead.
Two shots hit the ten rings, two shots hit the nine rings, four shots hit the eight rings, and a few shots hit the edge.
Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly in dissatisfaction with this result.
“Aim for the bull’s eye, clear your mind of distractions, and treat the target as the goal you have in mind.”
Su Qing was startled by the sudden deep voice behind her. Turning around, she saw Qin Yu standing not far behind her, his face sweating. She asked in slight surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Change the magazine and aim at the target." Qin Yu walked forward a few steps to Su Qing and handed her a fully loaded magazine.
Su Qing was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the skillfully replaced magazine and reassembled it. He took a deep breath, straightened his arm, aimed at the target, and fired several shots again.
The huge impact of the bullet, mixed with the sonic boom of it piercing through the air, echoed almost continuously around them.
Soon the bullets were exhausted.
"Another one." Another magazine was handed over.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Come again."
"Come again."
......
In less than an hour, Su Qing had fired nearly a hundred rounds of bullets. At first, Qin Yu handed her the magazine, but the bullets he had on him were soon used up by Su Qing.
After that, Su Qing kept taking out new magazines from her backpack to replace them until her palms were numb and her arm muscles were so sore that she could no longer lift them. Only then did she put away the pistol with an expressionless face.
The ground was littered with fallen shell casings and empty magazines, and the target not far away was covered with dense bullet holes, with a large hole punched through the center of the bull's eye.
Qin Yu looked at the target, which had been completely destroyed, with admiration in his eyes, "Remember the feeling at this moment."
Su Qing swept away the morning gloom and smiled at Qin Yu. "Thank you, Captain Qin."
"Would you like to come to my house for breakfast?"
After returning home and washing off the smell of gunpowder, Su Qing made a simple breakfast in the kitchen and walked out with the prepared scrambled egg sandwich and milk.
Qin Yu was sitting upright in the small bamboo pavilion in the yard. When he saw Su Qing coming out, he quickly stood up and took the things in her hand.
"Captain Qin, I'll take it."
Qin Yu took the plate without saying a word and walked back to the bamboo pavilion, placing the items on the table one by one.
Su Qing followed behind him feeling a little embarrassed. The two sat down facing each other and ate in silence for a while.
Feeling the atmosphere was a little awkward, Su Qing glanced at Qin Yu while drinking milk. In just a short while, he had quickly finished the breakfast in front of him, eating the sandwich in just a few bites, and then picked up the cup and gulped down the milk in a few gulps.
After Qin Yu finished eating and put the cutlery back on the plate, he looked up at Su Qing.
The two of them looked at each other immediately, and Su Qing's face turned red when he was caught peeking.
"Ahem...um...Captain Qin suddenly came to me for something?"
Qin Yu didn't notice Su Qing's abnormality and explained, "I was leading the team to the mountains for training. I heard gunshots from your direction and was a little worried, so I came to check on you."
No wonder, the mountain behind her house is very big. Ever since Liang Zheng led the team to move here, the soldiers often ran and climbed around the mountain for training, and Qin Yu and others often followed them.
However, very few people in the base knew Su Qing's home address. Qin Yu had been there several times before, and he came over to take a look when he heard the gunshots.
Su Qing said hurriedly: "I'm sorry to have worried you. I got up so early and have nothing to do, so I practiced shooting."
Qin Yu stared at her with a serious look and said in a steady voice, "Is it the zombie leader?"
"What?" Su Qing didn't understand what Qin Yu meant for a moment.
"Is it the zombie leader that makes you uneasy?"
Why are there so many psychology experts these days? Was she so obvious?
Su Qing sighed. She looked down at her knuckles, where the gun had rubbed the skin, and said dejectedly, "Yes, I have a feeling that the zombie hasn't left. It... has been staring at me in the dark, ready to attack at any moment. The base's defenses are too weak, and I... am very uneasy."
"Everything depends on human effort. Just do your best. Even if it really comes to a life-or-death moment, we will definitely find a way for everyone to escape." Qin Yu's expression was indifferent, but his words were very powerful.
Su Qing instantly understood what Qin Yu meant.
Exchange the death of their soldiers for the lives of ordinary people!
But this is not what she wants. She wants everyone to live well! She wants to give those she knows or doesn't know a new and safe world. It's her job to protect everyone, but somehow she always has to rely on everyone to protect the base...
The more Su Qing thought about it, the more incompetent she felt. Moisture welled up in her eyes and a hint of red appeared at the corners.
Seeing Su Qing's eyes gradually turn red, Qin Yu felt anxious. Did he say something wrong? Why did he make her cry instead of comforting her?
"I... I'm sorry... What did I say wrong? I'm... I'm sorry!" Qin Yu's eyes flashed with anxiety. He thought a lot in his mind but couldn't say it out loud. In the end, he could only apologize to Su Qing repeatedly.
Seeing Qin Yu's usual stern demeanor gone, his face anxious and his words stumbling, Su Qing suppressed her tears and burst out laughing: "It's my fault... I couldn't control my emotions."
Qin Yu replied with a serious face: "No, it's my problem. I... am not very good at speaking, and I made you sad."
She tilted her head and looked at Qin Yu with a hint of sarcasm, "Captain Qin has been in the army and rarely interacts with outsiders."
"Hmm..." Qin Yu raised his hand, clenched his fist, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. "I brought back a lot of heavy weapons from the capital this time. I will redeploy the defenses with Chief Liang and Manager Dong. It will definitely not be like last time! Don't worry."
Su Qing looked up at the rising sun. The sunlight was still scorching hot, but this bright light could dispel all darkness.
"Yes! It won't be like last time!"
After seeing Qin Yu off, Su Qing did not go to the base but worked in her own fields for a whole day. She had not taken the time to take care of the land in front of her house for a long time. At this time, the crops planted on it had yellowed branches and leaves and were dying. If it were not for the support of the system, it would have been dried up and turned into a wasteland.
After a busy day of harvesting, sowing and watering, it was soon afternoon.
While Su Qing was busy farming, she didn't know that the forum in the base had exploded.
Someone posted the conversation between Su Qingfangqing and several experts that day, implicitly accusing the base leader of disregarding everyone's lives, not listening to the experts' advice, and believing the words of a little girl.
Seeing that all the crops in the base would die in a few more days, those who contracted the land and those who made a living from farming could no longer sit still and began to protest.
