"I know about the water source. You can go down first."
Qihuo tightened his knuckles around the report and was silent for a long time before he asked the people below to leave.
"Yes, Chief."
The man retreated respectfully, his back completely wet.
This time I got soaked not because I was afraid, but because the weather was too hot.
Because of the heat, the base's power supply system had to work for a few hours and then rest for a few hours, taking turns.
Otherwise it may cause fire.
Because of this, electricity supply in the base became extremely tight, and there were power outages in offices and living areas all day long.
The electricity produced by the generator must be supplied to the laboratory.
After the people below left, Qihuo called Qi'er and Si Qing to the office.
"Dad! Chief, you called me."
Qi Ergang came in and greeted people out of habit, but suddenly saw Si Qing was there too, so he changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Chief." Si Qing greeted respectfully.
"You are here." Qihuo put down the report in his hand and looked up.
Qi'er was a rather impatient person, and seeing that Qihuo hadn't spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.
"Commander, you called us here because you have a mission? If you have a mission, just give it to me. I can handle it myself."
Why did he ask him to come with that annoying guy?
He can complete tasks by himself without the help of others.
Si Qing understood the meaning of Qi'er's words, but did not express anything, and still had a gentle smile on his face.
"There is a mission, but it requires the two of you to lead the team and complete it."
Qihuo certainly knew his son's character and simply ignored Qier's words.
Si Qing thought about the recent major events in the base and slowly said, "Is it about finding a water source?"
"Tsk, the commander hasn't spoken yet, why are you making wild guesses? Don't be too obsessed with showing off. Sometimes, you'll just end up shooting yourself in the foot."
Qi'er couldn't stand Si Qing's behavior the most and mocked him from the side.
"Okay, how can you make such a noise here? Do you have any rules?" Qihuo was furious when he saw his son's useless appearance.
Especially when compared with Si Qing, who is excellent in all aspects, the contrast is even more obvious.
However, he would not praise Si Qing too much, after all, he was that man's son!
Qi Huo coughed lightly a few times and said in a deep voice.
"Si Qing is right. The report sent up below says that several surrounding water sources have dried up, and the remaining North Lake won't last much longer."
"I've called you two here today because you're the best people in this base. Therefore, I'm entrusting you with the arduous task of finding a water source. You must work together to complete this mission."
Qihuo and they gave the task.
"Okay, Chief. Si Qing will definitely do his best."
The task was expected, so Si Qing was not too surprised.
"Hmph! I will definitely complete this task!" Qi'er snorted coldly and looked at Si Qing with disdain.
You actually guessed it right!
Haha, you must be feeling very proud at this moment!
We work in the same office, which is not very big.
Qi'er's little tricks were naturally noticed by Qihuo, but he chose to turn a blind eye and ignored it.
"Okay, time is short and the mission is heavy. Hurry down and get ready, then we'll set off."
Qihuo waved at them, indicating that if there was nothing wrong, they could go about their business.
Si Qing bowed politely to Qi Huo, "Commander, I'll start preparing this afternoon."
"Then I'll leave too!"
Chir followed up.
In the office, Qi'er did not explicitly refuse to cooperate with Si Qing.
But after leaving the office, his first words were to Si Qing with a proud look on his face.
"Aren't you amazing? Do you dare to compete with me to see who can find the water source faster?"
Si Qing looked at Qi'er as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
I don't quite understand what this guy is doing. Is there something wrong with him?
Do you think this mission is just playing house in elementary school?
Qi'er was a little angry when he saw Si Qing didn't say anything, but he still added a sentence to himself.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement. Just wait and see. This time I'll definitely find it before you."
After saying that, Qi'er strode away with his long legs.
Si Qing looked at Qi'er's arrogant back, shook his head helplessly, and smiled bitterly.
It's amazing that this guy can be the collection captain of the base.
Si Qing didn't stay for long and walked towards the stairs on the other side.
Just as the leader said, it hasn't rained for more than half a month and all the usable water sources around have dried up.
If a new water source is not found quickly, tens of thousands of people in the entire base will die of thirst.

On this side, Song Zhi had just opened an ice cream cone and hadn't put it in his mouth when the supermarket door was pushed open.
Song Zhi looked over with an ice cream in her hand.
Si Qingzheng pushed the door open and saw Song Zhi looking at her. She greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, nice to see you again, Boss Song."
"Hello, Si... Si what?"
Song Zhi looked at the handsome man in front of her and thought of his name in her mind, but her brain memory was limited, so she only thought of half of it.
"Si Qing." Si Qing kindly reminded.
"Oh, yes, Si Qing." Song Zhi remembered, and his eyes became faintly hot. "You are here to buy supplies again. You can go in and take a look. The things you bought before are back in stock!"
Great, the God of Wealth is here again.
