LIGHTNOVELONLINE 206. Brother Ji
“Fifth Brother, you’re going to Henan to provide support?” Su Qi asked her brother on the other end of the phone in surprise.
Su Wujun listened to Su Qi’s soft and cute voice. After all, his brother had become his sister, and such a soft, cute and adorable kind at that. For a moment, he felt it was a bit hard to adapt.
With his honest personality, and being in the armed police, he had even fewer opportunities to talk to females.
For a moment, he even felt a bit nervous speaking, and lightly coughed before saying into the phone, “Little Qi, I don’t know the specific itinerary either, but the orders from above are for us to go to the Taihang Mountains to carry out a mission! As for what support mission, I’ll only know after arriving at the destination!”
Hearing her fifth brother say he was going to the Taihang Mountains, Su Qi felt the support mission was most likely related to water.
Although Su Qi was a science student, she had a special fondness for the subject of geography. Combining the case of Da Yu controlling the floods her geography teacher introduced in middle school,
along with the key points of the news she read this morning and “Taihang Mountains”, the intelligent Su Qi quickly connected the three together.
Those good at geography know that Henan Province has a temperate monsoon climate—cold winters, hot summers, distinct seasons, but also easily affected by temperate ocean air masses, namely typhoons, bringing heavy rains.
And Henan also has the typical terrain distribution characteristics of high in the west and low in the east. In the east are two big plains, while the west has the Taihang Mountain range. You should know that the mountain range opposite this one is Shanxi.
With such terrain, if the typhoon coming from Shanxi disturbs this mountain range, it will definitely produce intense friction with the natural barrier coming from the Taihang Mountains.
Convection forms rainfall. If the rainy season is too heavy, the rainwater will flow from the high terrain of western Henan down to the eastern plains along the elevation drop.
And as an inland province, eastern Henan’s vast plains lack terrain with elevation differences, which also means there are no effective flood discharge conditions. If there is a sudden heavy rainfall, it will definitely cause floods.
Seeing that her brother had already set off, it must be that meteorologists had discovered that Typhoon might be moving towards Henan!
Then the most dangerous area would be the Taihang Mountains, after all it was the first line of defense. If heavy rains erupted and the flood breached the embankment,
Su Qi thought, the possibly effective method would be to block the water with a human wall and dig ditches, right? Thinking this way, Su Qi suddenly became even more worried. If swept away by the water, wouldn’t people be unable to be found?
But living in a military family, she of course also knew that military orders were like mountains. How could her brother, who took obeying orders as his duty, retreat at a critical moment?
But she indeed felt quite uneasy. At this moment, she heard the system girl’s voice, “Host, don’t you still have me?”
Su Qi was a bit puzzled. What use could you be?
Then she remembered that mysterious little magic staff the system girl had given before that could communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Su Qi felt that it might be able to alleviate this typhoon.
She subconsciously asked, “Do you still have that magic staff?”
Hearing Su Qi’s words, the system girl said in a aggrieved tone, “It’s gone, and my specialty is sewing clothes, Host. The props from before were all equivalent exchange I got from other systems.”
The system girl’s words made Su Qi silently retort in her heart, then what use are you to me!
As if hearing her host slandering her, the system girl’s voice this time carried a bit of a little girl’s resentment, “Host, although I don’t have the ability to change natural disasters, I can help the people the host has helped as much as possible. After all, they are all part of raising the host’s popularity as the ‘female protagonist’.”
Su Qi froze for a moment after hearing the system girl’s words, because it had been quite a while since she heard the term “female protagonist” from its mouth. It made her almost forget that this system girl was a “Female Protagonist” System.
However, the system girl said it could help, help the people she had helped before.
This scene felt a bit familiar to Su Qi. Thinking carefully, wasn’t this the setting in her game?
It was the “female protagonist”, unfamiliar with the world, helping NPCs in trouble complete various commissions to raise her popularity. If she failed in the process, various amorous events would occur and the “popularity” would turn into righteousness.
But in the end, these NPCs could all become an aid in defeating the boss.
However, there was a question in this. Su Qi thought for a bit and asked, “Will this cost money?”
The system girl was stunned for a moment by the host’s somewhat blunt question, then said, “It depends on the situation.”
Although the system girl’s answer wasn’t very reliable, Su Qi still felt like she had taken a pill to ease her worries. At least it counted as having some assurance.
After chatting a bit more with her fifth brother, Su Wujun saw that his phone was displaying low battery. He hung up the call a bit reluctantly.
To be honest, after learning that Su Qi had become his sister, Su Wujun only felt that it seemed a bit closer than when he was his brother. Zhao Mingli, the comrade-in-arms sitting next to him, saw that he had hung up and leaned over to tease,
“Squad Leader, was that your girlfriend just now? Her voice sounded so sweet, just from her voice you can tell she’s a beauty.”
The two comrades-in-arms across from them also asked with gossipy faces.
“Go away, what girlfriend? That’s my sister!” Su Wujun waved his hand at them.
But they leaned in even closer. Zhao Mingli asked, “Squad Leader, is your sister pretty? What do you think of me?” Su Wujun looked at him and thought of Su Qi’s lively, cute, coquettish, soft and adorable little appearance in the video. For a moment, he felt his heart had softened by two degrees.
Although you’re my comrade-in-arms, sorry, my sister is still more important.
The mercilessly rejected Zhao Mingli wasn’t heartbroken, because he was just joking after all. He hadn’t even seen what Su Qi looked like.
With his phone out of battery, Su Wujun could only boredly watch Zhao Mingli’s phone.
He saw him open a dancing video, exactly the same as the one his second brother had sent him. So he asked Zhao Mingli in disbelief, “How do you also have my sister’s video?”
Zhao Mingli was stunned for a moment, then remembered that her sister’s voice on the phone just now did indeed sound quite similar to Chuunibyou Princess. Looking at his squad leader’s face, he found that he really didn’t seem to be lying.
At this moment, the two comrades-in-arms across from them also heard the news and looked over. They also wanted to see what their squad leader’s sister looked like to make Zhao Mingli act like this. But when they saw this video, they were shocked. Wasn’t this “Little Sword Princess”?
Wait, Squad Leader just said she was his sister. Doesn’t that mean…
The three of them suddenly focused their gazes on Su Wujun’s face.
Su Wujun was a bit dazed. What was going on? Then he heard the three of them shout in unison, “Brother-in-law!”
He was stunned for two seconds before reacting to what they meant.
“Go away, go away, go away…” He waved his hand, but the previous scene had attracted even more comrades-in-arms.
Zhao Mingli enthusiastically explained to them. So on the train headed for the Taihang Mountains, Su Wujun gained a new nickname—”Brother Ji”!
After ending the call with her fifth brother, Su Qi checked the path of Typhoon Haidou and found it was still hovering over Shanxi. But according to reporter reports, the local residents had all evacuated the mountainous areas and there were no casualties.
If it continued northward, that would definitely be the best outcome. Then it would have nothing to do with Henan Province. The other provinces could easily handle this heavy rain assault due to terrain.
It’s just that, for some reason, Su Qi’s right eyelid twitched intensely. She just felt that the situation seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.
