Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

158: Chapter 158 Full LaunchShen Qingyan stood by the topographical sand table, pointing to a dozen red dots on the map:

”These wells were all drilled when the base was being renovated.”

”At that time, we estimated that there might be a climate reversal after the extreme cold. To deal with water shortages, we specifically arranged them on the upper, middle, and lower levels of the mountain—”

”Thirteen deep wells were laid out, seven of which are emergency wells that go straight into the underground bedrock, pressure-resistant and high-temperature resistant.”

”Every well has reserved power and water leads and pump positions.”

”Now is the perfect time to activate them all.”

She looked at Ye Nanxing and said solemnly:

”This time, it is the opportunity we gained by preparing early for our base.”

”But whether we can last until the next world change... depends on how much water we can pump and how much we can store.”

Zhao Wei put on his communication headset and shouted to the team members:

”Check the electric pump joints! Diesel backup power, solar arrays, wiring piles—not a single one can be loose!”

”Control room—turn on all monitors. Water pressure gauges, ammeters, report every ten seconds!”

”Anyone who dares to make a mistake today, I’ll throw you into the well to sober up!”

Zhang Tianjin opened the toolbox and said in a low voice while checking the water pipe joints:

”I didn’t expect these backup systems in our base to actually come in handy... If I had known, I would have complained less about Sister Qingyan.”

A maintenance worker next to him wiped his sweat and whispered: ”Known what, my foot... Now that Sister Ye can collect water, we can survive. Just get to work.”

At this moment, Zhou Cheng was focusing on debugging in the main control room with two data clerks:

”The Space Anchor Point is calibrated, and Sister Ye’s coordinates are synchronizing.”

”Now all the water flow—as long as it passes through the designated water pipe outlet, it will be directly ’swallowed’ into her space water storage pit.”

”It’s like opening a bottomless pit that can automatically absorb water.”

”Don’t ask me the principle, I don’t understand the logic of her space... Anyway, it works.”

And at this moment, Ye Nanxing stood in front of the water storage pit she had just ”dug out” with her mind in the space.

That was not a pit.

That was an entire stretch of calm, low-lying airspace—

Like a natural lakebed, the black-blue surface was like a land of slumber undisturbed, waiting to be awakened.

She stood by the edge of the lakebed, her palm slightly raised, her fingertips moving.

Space spiritual patterns suddenly appeared, like transparent circuits, spinning and weaving out, gathering under her feet.

That ”anchor point coordinate” emerged in her consciousness—

The main control system had just synchronized, and the wellhead summary lines and entrance numbers were all encapsulated in a spiritual node.

She closed her eyes, stretched out her spiritual power, and locked on precisely:

【Tianlang Mountain Base · East District Well No. 3 · Main Pipeline Node A-07】

”Anchored.”

As the words fell, it was as if an invisible coordinate needle had been ”nailed” into the space.

The next second—

”Boom—!!!”

The entire space trembled slightly!

An invisible ”water flow channel” unfolded out of thin air, like a surging transparent water curtain, slowly flowing down from a high place and merging into the low-lying lakebed in front of her!

Amidst the buzzing sound, the huge pumping kinetic energy was converted through the Space Anchor Point, turning into a trickling ”real water source” and pouring into the space.

Water splashed.

Bubbles rose everywhere.

The lake surface went from dry to moist, and then to shallow water; in just a few minutes, it was already an inch deep!

Ye Nanxing flipped her right hand, and another anchor point responded:

【Connection · West District Well No. 5 · B-09 Pipeline】

The water pressure suddenly increased. Two sources of water flowed down together, like an artificially diverted waterfall, pouring down from the void!

Inside the space—

The wind began to blow.

That lakebed she opened with her mind truly became a ”receiver of life.”

No evaporation, no backflow, no loss of control.

All the water fell precisely.

It was as if this space was originally born to ”hold water.”

Tianlang Mountain Base, surface operation area.

More than a dozen wells roared at the same time, the sound of water pumps mixed with the buzzing of air in high temperatures, making the ground tremble slightly.

Thick water transmission pipelines snaked up from the foot of the mountain, connected to the base’s central main pipe network, and were then diverted by the main pump group into three core pipelines—finally, all converging towards the Space Anchor Point.

Every minute, more than thirty tons of clear water were pumped out and flowed into Ye Nanxing’s space.

Zhao Wei guarded the pump station, his face covered in oil and sweat, but his eyes were excited:

”Pump group No. 2 water pressure is stable, and the water temperature of well No. 3 is still within a reasonable range!”

”—We are really storing water for this world!”

Zhang Tianjin squatted by the water pipe and wiped his sweat: ”Seriously, this scene... is more satisfying than fighting a war.”

And inside the space, the water area was expanding little by little.

The water surface gradually rose, and mist steamed up.

Every inch the water rose, Ye Nanxing’s perception became sharper.

She could clearly feel—

Which well had clearer water quality, which pipeline had a more stable flow rate, and where a fluctuation existed in an anchor point.

This was no longer a simple space ability, but a mastery over a ”resource lifeline.”

She stood in the center of the space, as if ruling over a real ”water vein network.”

In the base lobby, the temperature curve on the monitoring screen was shooting up at a visible speed.

At 9:40 in the morning, the temperature broke through 48°C.

And the data from the satellite early warning system also confirmed Zhou Xiao’s judgment:

【Extreme heat phenomenon is global】

【Confirmed that the temperature in the Southeast Asia region has exceeded 52°C】

【Small base systems have already crashed, well water has dried up, and personnel have died from heatstroke】

【It is expected that within the next thirty-six hours, the global range will enter the ”outbreak period” of extreme heat】

Shen Qingyan put down the report and said softly to Ye Nanxing:

”The water we have might not just save us.”

”But... an entire region.”

Ye Nanxing’s eyes moved, she didn’t look back, just said faintly:

”I hope this water pumping can last a little longer.”

Tianlang Mountain Base was still operating.

The water pumps were roaring, the Space Anchor Points were flickering like stars, and the water pipelines were like blood vessels running through the earth, never stopping day or night.

From early morning to deep night, from sunrise to moonset, everyone was working for one goal:

—To keep the water.

Zhao Wei slept at the pump station for four consecutive nights, relying only on energy bars and cold noodles to hold on.

”You say it lightly,” he scolded while checking the water pressure, ”I’ve been staring at the instrument panel all day, I’m about to grow meter-eyes.”

Zhang Tianjin’s throat was almost hoarse: ”I’ve used my own hand as a filter three times already.”

Zhou Cheng simply laid a temporary mattress in the control room: ”The most valuable thing in the base now is not food, it’s water, and it’s you guys who are pumping water—you are true gods.”

Shen Qingyan devoted almost all her energy to the scheduling and quality monitoring of the water pipe network, personally checking every water sample.

Lin Xiao was responsible for peripheral patrols and led people to escort repairs for outside well points—when he returned, obvious salt traces had been dried onto his uniform.

And Ye Nanxing was almost sleepless, personally sitting in the core of the space, maintaining the stability of the anchor points. Once there was a slight deviation, she would readjust it with her spiritual power.

In seven days, her eyes became clearer and clearer, and her spiritual power grew quietly at an astonishing speed.

She knew this was the limit, but it was also the furnace fire of forging.
