Chapter 223 Lack of water
Where is Comrade Shi Xia?
One sentence made everyone else anxious. Shan Yuancheng thought of the words Shi Xia had just written in his palm: "No rush."

Sister Shixia must have gone out by herself.

Shan Yuancheng didn't know what Shi Xia's specific abilities were, but in his impression, Shi Xia, who could communicate with the little eagle, was amazing!
"Sister will be alright, sister is very strong."

When Yamamoto Tsuyoshi spoke for the first time, Harry looked at him.

"Nonsense! Your brains are impressive, but this is a desert!"

Yamamoto blinked.

"Sister Shi Xia isn't one to use her brain..."

That statement seems a bit ambiguous.

Zhong Shu also spoke up: "I don't know exactly what Comrade Shi Xia does, but she should be like you, not a researcher."

"what?"

Harry was slightly confused. Wasn't that woman a researcher? Like him?
How could she fall off the sand dune and be so disheveled?
"Alright, you guys pack your gear, I'll take some men to look for it—"

"I am back!"

Shi Xia is back.

She was carrying a bucket of water with a smile, and the swaying water splashed into everyone's eyes.

They subconsciously licked their lips, wondering if what they were seeing was a mirage.

One minute later.

Harry listened to Shi Xia's explanation and asked again, "You said you were blown away, just happened to grab a bucket, and then you came across a puddle with exactly one bucket of water."

"Yes! Did you hear me clearly? Why are you asking me?"

Harry chuckled twice.

Is this a question of whether I heard you clearly?
Is this even logical?!

"Your sister is so lucky."

Yamamoto Tsuyoshi praised with a smile, while Harry was speechless; there really was one who believed it.

"Comrade Shi Xia is really lucky. This bucket of water has solved our water shortage problem."

Zhongshu also stepped forward, saying that no matter what the process was, as long as the result was right, that was enough.

This is his attitude as a scientist.

Harry sighed helplessly. "Well, another one who believes."

However, he didn't intend to delve into it further, because Shi Xia's presence here meant that she had gone through layers of screening.

"Fill the water!"

"Be careful, don't waste it!"

Harry's words made everyone happily fill their water bottles, and they carefully stored the rest so that they wouldn't lose any more.

The group continued their journey, walking for another two and a half days under the scorching sun, and finally arrived.

There is nothing on the surface; it's all underground.

If it's scorching hot outside, it's stifling and humid down below.

In short, none of these things are easy.

After they arrived, Zhongshu met with the leader there, then left with his assistant and Shan Yuancheng without even having time for pleasantries, throwing himself into his work.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Xia was left all alone.

Harry glanced at it.

"So you really aren't a researcher."

Shi Xia shook her head regretfully and said, "I don't have the brains for it."

Harry smiled, turned and left. Love, huh? Anyway, he'd accomplished his mission.

This summer, however, is no longer under his jurisdiction.

"Comrade Harry, please wait a moment."

A staff member called out to Harry, and Harry suddenly had a bad feeling.

Can't you?
Can't you?
"Harry informed me that I would appreciate it if you could make arrangements for Comrade Shi Xia. She has been eating and drinking with you recently, so just treat her as a member of your guard team."

Harry forced a smile and said weakly, "Comrade Shi Xia, let's go."

Shi Xia followed Harry.

"It seems you're not very welcoming of me?"

"No, not really, I just don't know how to arrange it." Harry took Shi Xia to the place where the guards were located. It was very cramped, but Shi Xia still got a room of her own.

The following day, Shi Xia followed Harry, watching them patrol, scout, and deliver supplies every day.

She also discovered hydroponic water spinach here.

Harry saw Shi Xia looking at the hydroponic vegetables and came over to say, "If it weren't for this, everyone here would be blind."

"Oh, I made this."

After Shi Xia finished speaking casually, Harry's mind raced for a while before he finally followed up with Shi Xia's question.

"You did this? Really?"

"Really, I used to live by the sea, which wasn't suitable for growing vegetables, so I started researching this."

Shi Xia spoke very seriously, but Harry was only half-convinced.

What is your guard team doing today?

"Let's go check out the Great Oasis. It hasn't rained for a long time, and water is scarce."

Shi Xia became interested upon hearing this.

"I'll go as well."

Harry wanted to refuse, but he couldn't see where Shi Xia's strength lay, and he thought that going out would only be a hindrance.

"Comrade Harry, you can't refuse me."

Shi Xia went along.

The guards were somewhat dissatisfied with the extra Shi Xia, but they kept it to themselves.

At worst, they can just give us a little more care.

Shi Xia doesn't offer her opinion. You all know that your sister is here when something happens. It's a blessing you earned in your past lives.

The car left and drove into the desert at a slow speed.

The so-called Great Oasis is very far away; it takes a whole day to drive there, and you have to rest outside at night.

That's true, we can't just openly tell people that we work in the Oasis.

And so, Shi Xia followed the car on the road for five days.

On the first night, Shi Xia hunted four rabbits, and they enjoyed a delicious roasted rabbit meal.

The next night, Shi Xia caught several snakes and skillfully slapped them twice in front of everyone. The snakes obediently had their fangs pulled out and their skin peeled off, making snake meat an extra treat.

On the third day, Shi Xia caught string after string of non-venomous scorpions and ended up eating them like a skewer party.

On the fourth and fifth days, Shi Xia gave everyone extra meals.

From then on, no one thought Shi Xia was a burden, or rather, after seeing her slap the poisonous snake twice the next day, no one thought so anymore.

After five days, Shi Xia became everyone's favorite comrade, even surpassing Captain Harry.

Harry was also impressed with Shi Xia; impressive!
Five days later, the Great Oasis finally arrived.

But the current situation made everyone's hearts jump.

The once lush oasis has shrunk to only one-tenth of its original size, with only a tiny amount of water remaining. A few animals are drinking water and, seeing them arrive, are reluctant to leave.

Clearly, they are also severely lacking in water.

Anyway, since we're here, we should take some water back with us.

While they were fetching water, Shi Xia wandered around the oasis by herself.

The formation of an oasis indicates that the area below is very moist.

She squatted by the river, reaching one hand into the water, her supernatural power moving downwards, downwards.

"Shi Xia, let's go!"

"coming!"

Shi Xia got up and wiped her fingers.

If she wasn't mistaken, there should be an underground river deep beneath this area.

If the underground river could be connected to the underground research institute, they would have an inexhaustible water source and would no longer need to worry about water.

This is no small project, but Shi Xia believes that as long as she can accurately locate the course of the underground river, the scientists can solve all other problems.

So, here comes the problem.

How is she supposed to get through the thick sand to find the underground river?
