Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 108 Repairs Begin

Upon hearing Lorraine's question, Lin Shu smiled and gave the answer directly.

"Actually, most of the seeds I took from the germplasm bank were for the purpose of restoring the camp to a self-sufficient state."

"Moreover, most of them are food crops, and there isn't enough space on the flagship to grow them."

"Okay, thank you."

Just as Lorraine was about to leave, Ms. Lin called her back.

"Lorraine, could you please push me back to Ouyang Nian's cabin? Bai Zhi still needs to stay here to observe the growth of the virus-free seedlings."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

When Lin Shu called out to him, Luo Lin turned around and saw Lin Shu's slightly blushing face.

Her white-to-yellow dragon horns and hair, her deep blue eyes, combined with her gentle temperament, momentarily captivated Lorraine.

Lorraine, who reacted quickly, said it was no trouble at all and pushed the wheelchair away.

After the two left the infirmary, a head with white hair and red dragon horns peeked out from the corridor behind them.

"Why is Sister Shu's face so red? Does it mean she finally has someone she likes?"

After the two had gone some distance, Ouyang Nian quietly returned to his cabin.

"Sister, what did you and Lorraine talk about in the infirmary?"

Ouyang Nian stood in front of his sister and asked curiously.

"Or are you, sister, preparing to play the part of a woman who has nothing to repay you with but herself?"

Before Ouyang Nian could finish speaking, Lin Shu swung his hand and delivered a sharp chop to Ouyang Nian's wrist.

"Thump"

"What are you saying, child?"

As Ouyang Nian rubbed his head, he looked up and saw his older sister's blushing face.

"Sister, it's the end of the world, and there are very few humans left. It's time to lower some of our moral standards."

"Thump!" Another hand chop followed immediately.

"sister!"

"Stop talking, go to sleep, and don't bother me."

Lin Shu turned over, his back to Ouyang Nian, and said.

"oh."

Ouyang Nian rubbed his head, looking aggrieved, and took off his clothes, revealing a tight, well-proportioned, and curvaceous body that combined strength and beauty. He then put on a loose nightgown to cover it all up.

Ouyang Nian jumped onto the bed and hugged his sister from behind.

"sister?"

Lin Shu turned over, ruffled Ouyang Nian's hair, and hugged him.

"Let's leave it at that for now, I haven't decided yet."

"oh!"

The two stopped talking and fell into a deep sleep.

......

The next morning, Lorraine got out of bed, washed up, and then had Cleveland activate the side spray system to return the flagship to its original position.

Lorraine then asked Cleveland, "Was there any activity on the tanker last night?"

Everything was normal last night; no abnormalities were observed.

Lorraine nodded and left the driver's seat.

When Lorraine arrived at the aft deck, he saw that the workers had already put on their safety belts and were standing by the cable with their toolboxes and freshly made spare parts.

After Lorraine adjusted the cable to the right position, Ouyang Nian and Bai Jin, dressed neatly, went to the aft deck.

This time, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian used two cables to climb onto the deck of the oil tanker at the same time.

After seeing the two arrive, Bai Jin directed the workers to use the rope climbing device in an orderly manner to head towards the oil tanker.

After all the workers boarded the tanker, Ouyang Nian started the backup power, and the workers went to the engine room to begin maintenance work.

Lorraine waited on the deck for a while before seeing Platinum board the tanker with a small bag on her back.

Lorraine opened the bag and saw that it contained more than 10 energy bars. Only then did she realize that these workers had come to work without having eaten breakfast.

Lorraine looked up and saw Bai Jin helplessly shrug his shoulders. He could only shake his head with a wry smile and start contacting Ouyang Nian.

"Lorraine, what happened?"

Lorraine said as he headed toward the engine room.

"Tell the workers to stop what they're doing and have breakfast before they get back to work."

After hearing what Lorraine said, Ouyang Nian was stunned for a moment, and then began to shout to the workers.

Lorraine decisively cut off the communication and quickly went down to the engine room with Platinum.

As Lorraine handed out energy bars to the workers, she listened to their complaints.

"We'll eat after we finish our work."

"Whether or not you eat breakfast is not important; what's most important is getting to work early and finishing early."

"Child, you don't need to give me so much. The two of us old men can share one. You should keep enough food for yourselves."

Just as Luo Lin was about to hand the bag to Ouyang Nian after hearing what the old craftsman said, she heard Ouyang Nian's irritable voice.

"Eat as much as I give you. Don't tell me breakfast isn't important or that you eat less when you're old."

"Did you feel comfortable being hungry before? Or did you think your health wasn't important?"

At this point, Ouyang Nian turned her attention to the two leading master craftsmen. As a craftswoman herself, she naturally understood the value of a veteran technician.

Faced with two experienced workers who didn't know how to take care of their health, she was even more furious.

"Are you two planning to die young? To put it bluntly, as senior technicians, if you want to die, you should ask the people, the country, and yourselves whether you have passed on all your skills and experience?"

"By the way, strictly speaking, all of you are able to be alive and kicking right now because of the supplies we found, so don't even think about ruining your health."

Seeing everyone eating quietly under Ouyang Nian's reprimand, Lorraine took the bag and left the engine room, chatting with Bai Jin at the door.

"This is the first time I've ever seen her lose her temper like that."

Lorraine shrugged, folded the bag, put it back in her pocket, and said.

"This is my first time too. After all, she also makes a living with her skills, so she knows very well the value of an experienced technician in the post-apocalyptic world."

When the clanging and banging of maintenance noises started up again in the engine room, Luo Lin asked Ouyang Nian when the maintenance would be completed.

"Including repairs and maintenance, it is estimated to take five hours."

After obtaining the specific time, Lorraine left Diting here to guard the gate, while he and Baijin went to find the key to the living area.

After finding the keys to all the cabins in the cockpit, Lorraine and Platinum began cleaning all the intact cabins in the living area.

After all, based on the tanker's speed of 15 knots, they would still have to sail on the sea for 14 hours afterward, and he couldn't possibly let the workers stay in the maintenance room for fourteen hours.

Three hours later, not long after Lorraine and Platinum finished cleaning the cabin, they received a message that the engine room repairs were complete.

"Cleveland, conduct another self-examination."

[Self-inspection complete; all units are operating normally.]

Lorraine checked the time, returned to the flagship, and brought up energy bars and some canned fruit. Then he cleaned up the restaurant by himself.
