Reborn As A Doomsday Villainess-Chapter 172: My sun

Qingran’s expression faltered, her eyes widening in dismay. "500-700 steel beams? 1000-1500 water-resistant panels? How are we supposed to find all that? And transport it? We can’t exactly call a construction truck to deliver it all."

[Scavenging teams will need to navigate zombie-infested areas, find construction sites or companies. SUVs can be used for transportation although it would be slow but at least, you’ll need to prioritize resource gathering and optimize routes.]

Qingran rubbed her temples, feeling the weight of the task settling in. "This is insane. We’re talking about surviving a flood, there’s already zombies, the growing rebllion, and now gathering enough materials to build a dam. How am I supposed to do all this?" She looked around the empty floor, feeling overwhelmed.

"I don’t even know where to start."

[Start by assigning teams and creating a schedule. You’ll have to work around the clock to gather materials and construct the dam.]

Qingran sighed and nodded, there was no use sulking, if she wasted any more time..then she’d have alot more on her plate.

"Very well. We have only 2 cars, we’ll have to find more. So we can at least be carrying 8 to 10 beams each trip. Another thing is fuel, we’ll have to use it wisely, I have enough stockpiled but 2 and a half years is a long time. I might run out."

"Lingquan could you give me a board?"

[Of course. Usually I’ll take the cost from your points but seeing as you’re going to be under a lot of stress. This one is free.]

The board appearing in the middle of the living room, grabbing the marker, Qingran immediately got to work.

"The list of scavangers will be on this side. I’m going to draw a sketch of the dam. I think we’ll need a drainage system. As the water is coming in, it’s going out."

Qingran started drawing a detailed diagram of the dam on the board. "The dam will need to be at least 10 meters high and 50 meters long to effectively block the water. We’ll also need to reinforce the structure with steel beams and water-resistant panels."

She began to list the materials needed and the teams that would be responsible for gathering and transporting them.

"Okay, so we’ll need a team to scavenge for steel beams and water-resistant panels. We’ll also need a team to work on the drainage system." Qingran’s marker moved swiftly across the board as she outlined the plan.

"Lingquan, can you tell me more about the construction site? Where would be the best place to build the dam?" Qingran asked, looking for any information that could help her make informed decisions.

[The best location for the dam would be near the hotel, as it provides a natural barrier against the floodwaters. However, the area will need to be cleared of any debris and zombies before construction can begin.]

Qingran nodded, taking note of the information. "Alright, so we’ll need to clear the area around the hotel before we can start building the dam. I’ll assign a team to handle that. We’ll also need to make sure the dam is designed to withstand the water pressure and any potential zombie attacks."

As Qingran continued to plan and organize, she felt a sense of determination growing within her.

She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she was determined to protect the people inside and ensure their survival.

The dam would be built, and they would make it through the flood.

She sat down, heaving out a long sigh..times like this she wished Feng Yizhou was here. Then she would actually sit like a princess and let him do all the work.

"Say Lingquan. When will I be able to talk to Feng Yizhou again?"

[><]

[Missing him?]

"Yeah. I miss him doing all the work."

[...]

[Well. Let’s see what I can do. Your almighty system, will give you a surprise you’ll both will like. Pick up your phone. I’ll provide cell service for you to talk to each other, but for only 6 minutes after that you’ll be out of service.]

Qingran smiled, even if it was one minute it was already enough.

"I’ll share it with Meng Nian. It seems he wants to talk to Haoyu as well."

[><]

[Look at you being so nice. Alright I’ll had 4 more minutes. So you can use your 6 minutes and give the rest to Meng Nian.]

"Thank you Lingquan. You’re the best."

[Yes I know that ><]

Qingran brought out her phone from the space, she had kept it there for safety purposes. Hoping she’ll find cell service some day.

Her hand hovered over Feng Yizhou’s name for a while, she thought of his reactions, she knew he would he happy to hear her voice.

[What are you hesitating for?]

She bit her lips and tapped the dial button, it rang for a few seconds before the call got accepted.

"Hello? Qingran is that you?"

Qingran’s eyes brightened, it felt nice to hear Feng Yizhou’s voice again.

"Yes it’s me."

"How! How are you able to call me?"

"I got a good deal with Lingquan and he provided some cell service but it’s only for 6 minutes."

Feng Yizhou patted his chest gently, telling his heart to calm down, even if it was for 2 minutes...if he got to hear her voice every day..he would do anything to get a deal from Caocao.

"Yizhou..are you alright? What about Haoyu? Is he next to you?"

"Yes, but I’m not giving the phone to him. I’m going to spend every minute talking to you."

Qingran chuckled "I understand that. I actually got 10 minutes but I shared it. There’s someone here that wants to talk to Haoyu so I have him my 4 minutes."

Feng Yizhou gritted his teeth but he couldn’t say anything. He understood that person must be the boyfriend Haoyu was talking about.

"Very well. But next time, you’re not sharing it. I miss you Qingran, I miss hearing your voice, your scent, having you around...you’re miles away and I worry everyday. I love you Qingran, I love you so much..all I think about is ways to get back to you. My world has gotten darker, my sun has been away for too long."
