End of the World Cycle

Chapter 143 How about I help you put it away?

Du Mingxuan suddenly pushed open the door of the experimental cabin, and hurriedly pushed away Xie Qin who was standing next to the platform. Xie Qin almost lost his balance and fell.

Du Mingxuan was very strong, and he punched the platform, causing the metal platform to dent instantly. Then he was filled with impotent rage.

"Ah!! What happened? Why is there a power outage!!!" After a loud roar, a guard came running up.

Xie Qin had seen the person who came in his previous life. It was Jinchuan.

"Base commander, it's raining heavily outside. The river in the north has burst its banks, and the water is gathering here and flooding the base." As he said this, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, as if the sky was torn open and water was pouring down.

Everything outside was blurry and the vision was no longer clear. After a while, another person came up. It was Huang Bing. The hacker from the previous life. After several operations, the equipment in the laboratory was operating normally and the monitoring was restored.

The screen repeatedly played the scene of Ning Cheng disappearing. Xie Qin stood at the position of Ning Cheng's head, holding the instrument in both hands, about ten centimeters away from Ning Cheng. The black screen was 0.03 seconds, which was almost a flash, and Ning Cheng disappeared. Xie Qin was still in the posture in front of the black screen, just looking up innocently with a pair of eyes.

This is human instinct. When there is a power outage, people will subconsciously look at the lights. No one thought of Xie Qin. The only explanation is that Ning Cheng regained his clarity of mind at the moment of the power outage and flashed into the space.

Du Mingxuan was furious! The baby in her belly, such a huge research treasure, was gone just like that. Not only was it gone, but also the research institute in Ning Cheng Space, including 18 top researchers, was gone.

The key is that he has not yet been able to control his new prey - Xie Qin.

Not only did they fail to steal the chicken, but they also lost a large warehouse of rice. No one could understand why. Then came the bad news. As the lights in the laboratory went out again, Lu Chaoyun had to organize people to pack up the equipment.

"Have the people from the supply team arrived?" Lu Chaoyun asked.

"No, we are all trapped in the dormitory. The rain below has reached our thighs. Not to mention that the road here is lower in terrain." The guard who just ran up answered.

"Didn't they prepare a boat?"

"I've contacted them. They didn't bring a boat this time. The one who came is the third supply team. There are only four third-level space-based psychics. They came here to build a base. They brought all the building materials. We also surveyed this place at that time. It was a safe zone. But today, for some reason, this place is like a magnet, absorbing water."

"Have all the experimental equipment on the first floor been put away?"

"We've collected them all and moved them up, but the rain outside is getting heavier. If the gap in the river mouth gets bigger, we'll probably be flooded!"

A group of people were anxious. Du Mingxuan also walked to the window to look at the situation outside. The temporary base facilities and equipment were not complete, and the drainage system was not completed. The accumulated water had flooded one-third of the base. The supply team could not come over, and he scratched his head in annoyance looking at the equipment on the ground.

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in the laboratory.

"Or, should I put it away?" Turning back, he saw Xie Qin holding up his gloved hands, smiling so innocently.

Somehow, Du Mingxuan still felt a little uneasy, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. The sudden rainstorm and the sudden dam burst. All the coincidences together were weird but reasonable.

There was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only watch as Xie Qin cleaned out the entire laboratory, even the several mental jammers in the office.

After packing up the things, the water had almost reached the second floor, and the rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping. Two hours later, the river embankment in the distance must have collapsed on a large scale, and more river water rushed through the base. The water level rose by nearly one meter in an instant, and the water on the second floor had reached people's waists.

Although everyone was standing on the laboratory platform, the rain was still falling, and it was only a matter of time before the water rose. So everyone went up to the roof of the third floor. There was a huge helipad on the roof. The roof of a building was just big enough to park two helicopters, but it was empty now. Although the rescue team had been contacted, it would take three hours for the rescue team to get there from the first base.

According to the time, it will take another hour to reach the third floor.

We could only wait. The third floor was open-air, with no shelter from the rain. Together with the guards and researchers from the laboratory on the first floor, there were nearly forty people crowded in the corridor.

Xie Qin didn't like crowding, so he parked a caravan in the open space next to him in front of everyone, and walked in as if no one was around. Now the people crowded in the corridor were a little jealous, because Jinchuan was a loyal dog, and Xie Qin knocked on the door in the rain just after he got in the car.

The door was not opened, Xie Qin just pushed the window open a little.

"What's wrong"

"Ms. Guo, could you please call a car for us? Because of the heavy rain, the rescue team will be late for a long time. The water in the corridor is rising. If it continues like this, we will definitely have to go out and get wet in the rain.

"Sure, but..."

"But what?"

"This thing can't be given for free."

"What does Miss Guo want?"

"Which one do I want?" Xie Qin pointed at the mutated Epiphyllum and the fleshy vine surrounded by the circular research institute.

"Ah?" Jinchuan felt like he had heard a joke

"Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. The rain won't stop any time soon, and it will be flooded sooner or later. This RV of mine was modified by the repair team at our base. It's amphibious. You won't suffer any loss." Xie Qin explained as if he was selling a product.

Jin Chuan then returned to the stairs and whispered a few words into Du Mingxuan's ear. Du Mingxuan then looked at him with a frown, and Xie Qin smiled and nodded politely.

Jinchuan did not come over again. As time passed, the rain did not stop and seemed to be getting heavier. More than ten people had squeezed out at the stairs. They were all scientific researchers in white coats, including Chen Anran, her husband and father-in-law.

The three people were looking at the apartment building to the west. Fortunately, the apartment building was on the highest ground and they could see the whole picture. Now the flood had just reached the second floor, and the apartment building was one floor higher than the research institute, so there was no one on the helipad on the top floor. The situation was much better than here.

Chen Anran also relied on his acquaintance with Xie Qin and went forward to ask. Although he was disappointed when he was rejected, he was not too annoyed and had to hold the white coat on his head.

Another twenty minutes passed, the corridor was completely flooded, and the helipad on the third floor was also flooded by nearly twenty centimeters. Xie Qin looked out the window at Du Mingxuan and Lu Chaoyun, who were soaked like drowned rats, while holding a cup of warm coffee, and found it funny.

Du Mingxuan looked at Xie Qin who looked very happy and felt very uncomfortable. The current situation was that he did not have any cards to use to control Xie Qin, and Xie Qin had taken away a large number of precision instruments. He could not beat him, and he could not afford to provoke him. He did not dare to show any bad attitude.

There is no sign of the rain stopping. If such a large group of researchers get sick or something happens to them, it will be more trouble than it is worth.

Looking at the two mutant plants from a distance, he was certainly reluctant to leave, but his group had to evacuate. He couldn't take these things with him. As long as Guo Qinling wanted, she could put them into the space and take them away. There was nothing he could do about it.

The logistics team couldn't get over, and the rescue team's progress was slowed down by the heavy rain. His own treasures were also exposed to the rain. After considering many factors, Du Mingxuan gave in. After all, no useful information had been found out after such a long time. In addition, all the samples of the two plants had been collected, leaving only the crystal cores. The loss of two fifth-level plant crystal cores was a big deal. Compared with these smart researchers, he could still tell what was more important.

So Du Mingxuan prepared to sell Xie Qin a good deal and maintain a good relationship with her, so that at least he would have something to talk about when he wanted that batch of equipment.

Du Mingxuan went to Xie Qin's window in person.

"Ms. Guo, I am willing to give you a mutant plant. Can you give me four cars? We have so many people, one car is definitely not enough.

Xie Qin's RV is designed to accommodate six people. It is very small, but it is more than enough for a dozen people to shelter from the rain.

"Okay, give me both and I'll give you four."

Du Mingxuan hesitated for two seconds and finally nodded. The next second, four more RVs appeared on the open space. Du Mingxuan ordered everyone to get in the cars. Some people who were shivering from the showers even took a hot shower in the cars.

Xie Qin was not polite at all. He put on his raincoat and got out of the car. The rain reached his calves and poured into his rain boots. However, Xie Qin ran happily towards the plants.

The top floor of their building is just next to the mutant plants.

Du Mingxuan watched as Xie Qin pinched the vines of the fleshy vine with one hand and grabbed the petals of the night-blooming cereus with the other. White light shone from his palms, and in about ten seconds, the two level five mutant plants disappeared.

It was so heartbreaking, but compared to the batch of instruments that were taken away, it didn't seem that important.
