Chapter 180 Who is so wicked?
The staff who had been cleared out and asked to evacuate rushed to collect snow when they saw that there was a hope of saving the boiler.
The road from the nearest snow pile to the boiler room is a few dozen meters long. Running back and forth two or three times carrying a bucket full of snow can make you sweat even in the middle of winter.
Due to food shortages, everyone is usually in a semi-hungry state. At this time, rushing to sprint and speed up is a challenge to everyone's physical condition.
But no one complained of being tired, they ran as fast as they could.
Because boilers are very important!
If we don't save it, the whole base will freeze to death!
In order to maintain the hard-earned warmth, no one will feel tired!
Ordinary people were running around to get snow, while the awakened ones were helping to pour snow on the boiler in the boiler room. Everyone worked together.
Soon, more people came to help after hearing the news, as strength lies in numbers.
When the ice awakener stabilized the furnace temperature and the possibility of explosion decreased, everyone gathered closer and started throwing snow.
Now, not only the area around the boiler, but the entire boiler room was quickly filled with snow.
The temperature of the boiler and circulating water tank is dropping rapidly.
An awakened person of the physical enhancement system rushed forward at the risk of his life and opened the boiler door.
"Oh my god, what's in here!"
The man picked up a long-handled steel shovel and pulled something out of the boiler.
Hiss, hiss, hiss! The thing rolled down into the snow, continuously releasing air waves.
Boiler technical consultant Xiao Zhang rushed over, took a closer look, and shouted, "This is a small self-circulating pressure pump!"
He walked over and carefully turned off the pump, and the thing finally stopped deflating.
This is a gas booster pump commonly used in industry. Its working principle is to use low-pressure gas at the large-area piston end to drive the small-area piston end to generate high-pressure fluid, thereby driving the equipment to operate.
To put it simply, it is a more sophisticated and stronger air pump.
The small pump that was discovered has a heat-sensing automatic circulating gas supply device, so it can continuously generate gas and transport it into high-pressure driving gas without anyone operating it.
That is to say, as long as it is thrown into the boiler, when the furnace temperature rises to a certain range, it will start by itself.
A large amount of high-pressure gas is continuously generated, causing strong pressure inside the closed boiler.
When the furnace walls can no longer hold up, an explosion occurs.
“Who did it!”
"Who is so wicked? Do they want everyone in the base to freeze to death?"
"Investigate! Find out who it is and kill him!"
After listening to Xiao Zhang's explanation, everyone basically understood what was going on, even though they didn't understand the professional names.
Someone deliberately wanted to cause the heating boiler to explode and destroy the base's heating system!
So everyone couldn't help but curse.
"Go check the surveillance." Ye Qi ordered the logistics manager with a serious face, asking them to investigate together with the guard team.
The boiler room is a key location on the base. When it was first built, electrical wires and cables were laid around the building, along with surveillance equipment. A small generator ensured constant monitoring. Therefore, it's possible to track down who had been in the boiler room and what they had done before tonight's incident.
The staff on duty in the boiler room were also called in one by one by the security investigation team to inquire about the situation.
"How's it going over there?"
The equipment in the boiler room was under intensive repair. Before the investigation results came out, Ye Qi contacted Qiao Lan.
"Not very good, Uncle Guo is still sleeping."
Qiao Lan held the intercom and looked at Boss Guo who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed with a helpless look on his face.
No matter how much they called, he couldn't be woken up. His wife and daughter rushed over. The mother and daughter were so anxious that they cried, but there was nothing they could do.
But all the spiritual awakeners in the base have tried several times, and no one can do anything.
Yin Wanying, who had just walked into the room, stood quietly and obediently at the door. She was unaware of the vigilant looks of the crowd and kept a faint smile on her face.
"Ms. Qiao, I really can wake him up. Please give me a chance to show it."
After hearing the conversation between Qiao Lan and Ye Qi, she suggested again.
This was her third suggestion since entering the room, and the previous ones had all been rejected. In fact, Old Song was pointing a gun at her, and several spiritual awakeners were also on high alert, ready to take action at any time.
"Let her try."
Ye Qi's voice came from the intercom.
Qiao Lan: "Hmm?"
Ye Qi: "You can let Miss Yin try. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible."
"Oh, thank you very much for your trust, Captain Ye." Yin Wanying spoke before Qiao Lan, her tone very happy.
Ye Qi said: "I don't trust you, but after comprehensive judgment, I am willing to take a gamble."
"Can you tell me, Captain Ye, how likely are you to win the bet?" Yin Wanying asked with great interest, a hint of restrained interest showing on her gentle and dignified face.
"Fifty percent." Ye Qi said.
Yin Wanying thought for a moment and said, "How about you be a little more confident? 70%?"
Qiao Lan interrupted, looking at her scrutinizingly, "Only 70%? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
"Ms. Qiao guessed right. I have no confidence in myself." Yin Wanying lowered her head and smiled.
The smooth curve of the neck is as elegant and beautiful as a swan.
"Will I harm Mr. Guo? I don't know." She sighed softly.
"How about this? Got it?"
Qiao Lan pulled out a gun, pressed it against her temple, and put his index finger on the trigger.
The most classic Type 54 Big Black Star was copied based on the Soviet-made Tokarev military pistol. It is extremely powerful and famous. It is said that it can penetrate bulletproof vests within 60 meters.
At this distance, if Qiao Lan fired, Yin Wanying would have lost her head.
"Why don't you resist?" Qiao Lan pointed the gun at the other party and raised his eyebrows slightly.
As a third-level superpower, not to mention the level of her mental strength, Yin Wanying's physical fitness and reaction ability are definitely very strong. However, from the time Qiao Lan took out the gun, walked over, to putting the gun to her head, she clearly had the opportunity to dodge or fight back, but she didn't.
He just stood there quietly, letting the gun point at his temples.
"Why don't you resist?" She repeated Qiao Lan's question, her cherry-colored lips raised in a soft arc.
His dark pupils looked towards the window, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick curtains and look at the starry night sky.
"Maybe I can't resist, or maybe I don't want to resist. Could it be that I am enjoying the wonderful feeling of being threatened by you with a gun, my dear Miss Qiao?"
Her eyelashes are long but not thick. When she smiles, they cover her eyes softly, like soft willow branches swaying on the water in spring.
"Yin Wanying." Ye Qi's serious voice came from the intercom that was still on. He called her by her full name and warned her, "If you don't wake up Lao Guo safely within five minutes, it will be difficult for us to trust you."
The deterrent power of this sentence seems to be greater than Qiao Lan's gun.
Yin Wanying immediately became serious and said, "I will start the awakening treatment now."
She walked to Lao Guo's bedside with a focused expression. She stopped Lao Guo's wife and daughter who were worried and rushed over to stop them, leaving the mother and daughter stunned on the spot. Then she sat down, stretched out her hand, and placed her white and tender palm on Lao Guo's brow.
“Whoosh—Puff—”
Old Guo's snoring was very loud when he was sleeping.
Yin Wanying stood up in five seconds and said, "It's cured."
Everyone: “…”
Who are you kidding?
Everyone wanted to shoot her.
