"Don't worry, leave the filter to me."
Before Qin Su could even speak, Huo Sijin had already taken over the task.
"You can make filters too?"
Fifth Uncle's eyes lit up. He had thought that being able to fly a helicopter was the limit of this brute's skills, but he never expected that he could also do technology.
"You're not bragging, are you? This is a matter of life and death, you absolutely can't brag about it."
If this brute said those things just to show off in front of me, he could get someone killed.
"Fifth Uncle, I'm not that bored."
Huo Sijin gave him a faint look and went straight into the warehouse to start working.
His fifth uncle followed behind him, wanting to see if this brute could actually handle high technology.
However, watching Huo Sijin assemble the parts with such ease, one couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after another.
"You, you, you, you..."
This operation, without any pause, was even more impressive than the most skilled technician he had ever seen.
"Where did you learn that?"
In just half an hour, the basic shape of the filter was already visible. This kind of craftsmanship cannot be achieved without years, no, decades of accumulated experience.
But Huo Sijin is only in her early twenties, yet her skills have already surpassed those of professionals.
"Self-taught".
Huo Sijin spoke calmly, her hands continuing their work.
The filter was completed quickly.
After three rounds of testing, the filtered water not only lost its insect eggs but also became much clearer, with water quality even better than before the apocalypse.
"Ahem, although you have some ability, you're still young, so don't be too arrogant. Keep up the good work."
Fifth Uncle wanted to say something critical, but looking at the filter, he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, I will make myself stronger and protect Susu."
Fifth Uncle: ...
Sure enough, when it came to his own cabbage, he still didn't like Huo Sijin.
Huo Sijin taught everyone how to make filters and had them follow along. Soon, filters were installed in all the wells in the city.
Of course, he made all the filters installed at the resort himself. Although they all served the same function, his filters looked nicer. Qin Su was also a sucker for aesthetics, so he even had patterns that Qin Su liked carved on them.
Seeing the phoenix seeking its mate carved on the filter, Fifth Uncle's eyes twitched violently.
This kid is too cunning; he's secretly showing off his carving skills.
The filters were quickly installed in all the wells, and at the same time, Qin Su's medicine powder was also thrown into all the wells, hoping to kill all the insect eggs and stop this wave of mutated beetles from invading.
"Oh dear, this filter is such a rip-off! It's completely different from the one installed at the resort. If it doesn't work, it could be deadly."
The survivor who came to move the filter spoke up angrily after seeing the somewhat rough filter.
"A filter that can filter is fine, why be so demanding? Miss Qin wouldn't harm us, the important thing is to get back and install it."
Secretary Li immediately shouted, "How can this person be so brainless?"
Why would Miss Qin want to harm them? If she wanted to harm them, she wouldn't need to provide them with so many supplies.
"Secretary Li, have you been brainwashed? How can you not see something that anyone with eyes can see?"
"They are all survivors from Wancheng. They live in such nice houses and have such good lives. Even their filters are the best. Why is that?"
"Since you've accepted us, you have to be fair! Everyone should be treated the same. If we're going to enjoy life, we should enjoy it together; if we're going to suffer, we should suffer together."
"Shut up!"
Secretary Li was absolutely furious. Was this even human language?
"Miss Qin is already more than kind and generous by being willing to lead us through the apocalypse. How dare you say such a thing?"
Qin Su coldly observed the few people with their necks stiffened; it seemed they had been living well for too long and had forgotten their original intentions.
"We didn't say anything wrong, so why shouldn't we? We're all human beings, so why should they live a good life while we have to be treated as inferior?"
For the first time, Secretary Li felt that not every survivor deserved to be saved.
"When Miss Qin agreed to take us in, she said she would obey the resort's orders. Now that you're rebelling, then do as you said before and leave Wancheng!"
Secretary Li was always kind and gentle; this was the first time he had ever lost his temper like this.
"Wancheng will not tolerate ingrates; drive them all out of Wancheng!"
He immediately ordered his men to take action, and after they left, he looked at Qin Su with a guilty expression.
"Miss Qin, it's all my fault for not managing them well."
Qin Su shook her head: "This is not your fault. People's hearts are fickle, and it is normal for them to have second thoughts. You handled it very well."
If Secretary Li hadn't taken action, she wouldn't have allowed someone like that to remain in Wancheng.
She can bring these people along, but she will never bring ingrates.
However, this incident made her more cautious.
Whether it's Wancheng or the resort, although everyone is still relatively united, as many things progress, it's hard to guarantee that such a thing won't happen again.
It's time to establish rules so everyone knows that even in the apocalypse, mistakes will still be punished.
While everyone else went out to install the filters, Qin Su set up rules in her room.
The first rule is that the interests of Wancheng must be prioritized. Anyone who harms the interests of Wancheng will be expelled from Wancheng.
Second, no information about Wancheng may be leaked. If a traitor is discovered, he/she shall be killed!
Thirdly, there is no absolute fairness in the apocalypse. Resorts can help the weak, but if the weak want a better life, they need to create it themselves.
...
After writing down the rules, Qin Su stretched.
I'd been sitting for too long and my body was getting stiff, so I decided to go to the training room to stretch my legs.
Come to think of it, she hasn't even entered the training room since she recovered.
Inside the training room, the brothers were practicing, and upon seeing Qin Su, they immediately reacted.
"Miss, you're not feeling well. This place is full of our brothers' sweat. Don't let the smell bother you, or you'll feel uncomfortable later."
As Li Tang spoke, he helped Qin Su out of the training room.
To everyone's surprise, he couldn't lift it.
"Miss, why have you gained weight?"
He looked at Qin Su's arms and legs in surprise. They were still so slender. How did they get so heavy?
Qin Su raised an eyebrow: "It's not that I've gotten heavier, it's that you've gotten weaker."
"How is that possible?"
Li Tang practices every day and is very confident in himself.
"In that case, why don't you have a match with me?"
Qin Su provocatively used a bit of force to press down the arm that was supporting her.
Li Tang's eyes lit up: "In that case, Miss, I won't stand on ceremony."
He sensed that the young lady had become more capable!
"Li Tang, take it easy, don't hurt the young lady."
When the brothers heard that Li Tang had actually accepted the challenge, their hearts were in their throats.
If this guy hurts the young lady, they'll never let him off the hook.
