The next morning, Fifth Uncle pulled Huo Sijin aside to study the excavator.
"Xiao Huo, where are your blueprints? Let's start building the excavator as soon as possible so we can dig out the tunnel quickly."
Huo Sijin glanced at the still dimly lit sky, then at her excited fifth uncle.
At this point, it's hard not to suspect that Fifth Uncle came to check if he was in Su Su's room.
"Fifth Uncle, I finished the excavator last night. It's in the warehouse now. You can ask the brothers to drive it."
Fifth Uncle was taken aback, his brows gradually furrowing into a deep frown.
"You finished it so quickly?"
Why didn't this kid bring it out earlier? Did he just watch him dig a tunnel for over a month and want to see a good show?
"I was designing it before, and I finally finished it last night. Fifth Uncle, I need to catch up on some sleep."
Fifth Uncle looked at Huo Sijin, who was yawning, with suspicion. Why did he feel that there was something fishy about what she was saying?
However, his interest in excavators ultimately surpassed that in other areas.
"Alright, I'll go check out the excavator first. If it doesn't work, you'll have to come work in the underground city!"
Hmph, this kid stole his girl, we can't let this go so easily.
Huo Sijin watched her fifth uncle walk away, then turned around and went to Qin Su's room.
"Susu, my fifth uncle is threatening me."
Qin Su had already heard the noise outside. After all, her fifth uncle had rushed back to his room from under her covers when he came over; it would be strange if she hadn't been woken up.
But could Fifth Uncle threaten him?
Ha, this man is quite cunning. He only made the excavator in a few hours, but my naive fifth uncle thought he had put a lot of thought into it.
In just a few hours, he even used the excuse of being tired to come to her room for comfort.
"Huo Sijin, where's your aloofness?"
Qin Su was also genuinely suspicious. When she first met this man, he was clearly an aloof and unattainable figure. How come he has become so clingy now?
"Su Su, that's all an act for outsiders. The real me will only belong to you."
The cloying sweet nothings left Qin Su feeling helpless. Oh well, this man has changed, and it's impossible for him to change back.
However, after getting together with Huo Sijin, she clearly felt that the two forces within her body were merging in a strange way.
Last night, she let Huo Sijin stay in her room in order to prove this point.
"Huo Sijin, let me ask you, in your interstellar world, are there any cases of two forces fusing together?"
Huo Sijin shook her head, her expression turning serious.
"Someone tried to combine the two forces, but all of them failed."
Therefore, the two forces within Qin Su's body at this moment are like time bombs. Once the two forces awaken, they will easily fight each other within the body, eventually causing the body to be unable to withstand it.
Qin Su's face paled. She had originally thought she could use both powers for her own purposes, but now it seemed she should give up.
Having finally been reborn, I'll let it slide if I do anything reckless.
As for the unprecedented harmony within the body, perhaps it is due to the balance of Yin and Yang?
"I'm sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer."
Looking at the little woman who fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow, Huo Sijin's face was full of tenderness. He kissed the little woman's forehead and then lay down in bed.
"Haha, this excavator is so useful..."
In the underground city, Fifth Uncle watched the rapidly progressing excavation work and burst into excited laughter.
If this continues, the excavation work will be completed in a short time.
Huo Sijin is quite capable; he built enough excavators to greatly speed up the work. Next, as long as everyone is evacuated underground, they will definitely be able to avoid the next disaster.
But why haven't my second and third brothers arrived in Wancheng yet?
So much time has passed, and they still haven't reached Wancheng. Could something have happened to them on the way?
During dinner that evening, my fifth uncle looked very worried.
"Fifth Uncle, is the excavator not working properly?"
Qin Su was surprised. Given her fifth uncle's personality, he should be very happy that the excavation of the underground city had made a breakthrough. Why was he so sullen?
"No, the excavator is actually quite useful."
Although he didn't want to praise Huo Sijin in front of his niece, the excavator was indeed very useful, and he couldn't lie about it.
"I'm just worried about your second and third uncles."
When Qin Su mentioned her other two uncles, her eyes flickered slightly.
She remembered that in her previous life, her two uncles had awakened their supernatural abilities very early on and gradually built up their own power.
"Fifth Uncle, don't worry, let's wait a little longer. If they still haven't come to Wancheng by the end of this month, then we'll go out and look for them."
Liu Xuan nodded: "The excavation work in the underground city will also be finished by the end of this month. If they don't come then, we'll go look for them."
It's clear that the five uncles have a very good relationship. Although they work in different positions and have different professions, they always keep each other in their hearts.
Moreover, they were all very kind to me.
At first, Qin Su was also a little surprised. Although they were uncle and niece because of her maternal grandmother, they had never met. Why were they so good to her and so doting on her?
What puzzled her even more was that all five of her uncles were quite old, but none of them were married or had children.
Is it because she herself has no children, so it's better for her, as the only descendant?
She also subtly inquired about it with her fifth uncle, whose answer was that it was fate.
But Qin Su felt there must be other reasons.
However, since her fifth uncle didn't say anything, she wouldn't pry. Everyone has their own secrets, and as long as their kindness towards her is genuine, she will reciprocate in kind.
A few days later, Wang Shanshan returned from the municipal government with obvious displeasure on her face.
"Miss, tomorrow is Secretary Li's wedding day."
"What? Is there something wrong with that woman?"
Wang Shanshan complained bitterly: "There's a problem, a huge problem. This Secretary Li is a complete idiot. That woman's purpose in marrying him was obvious: power and material possessions. But he's like a fool, satisfying her every whim."
"Miss, we can't leave the municipal affairs to him anymore. What will happen to the other survivors if this woman runs off with the municipal supplies?"
Qin Su frowned. She had always thought that although Secretary Li was not very smart, he was at least loyal and could be considered a helper.
But once you have someone whispering in your ear, many things will change.
"Shanshan, I'll have to keep an eye on things at the municipal government during this time. If Secretary Li hasn't made any mistakes, then everything will proceed as before. But if he makes a mistake because of that woman, then he can't stay."
Wang Shanshan sighed, "Miss is just so kind-hearted."
If it were her, she would have given up on Secretary Li long ago.
Qin Su shook her head and smiled, "It's not that I'm kind-hearted, but because he's the city's administrator, and he's always managed things well. The survivors all trust him. If I were to dismiss him just because he got married, it might cause unnecessary unrest."
"Miss is very thoughtful."
Wang Shanshan nodded repeatedly, feeling even more that the young lady was both kind-hearted and intelligent.
