Doomsday Savior (5): You have no right to command us

Lei Feng’s team drove to bring people from several nearby cities whose names were mentioned by Si Qi. Cities that were farther away had to be picked up by train or helicopter.

Because the country had been prepared for a long time, several transportation hubs were not affected at all. Both maintenance personnel and pilots stayed in their compartments honestly and could go to work immediately when needed.

Therefore, when Lei Feng’s convoy returned, professors, scholars, and psychics from all over the country crossed mountains and ridges and crossed countless cities to arrive at the base one after another, and then were brought to Si Qi without stopping.

A group of middle-aged and elderly people, with an average age of at least 50, sat upright. They saw many familiar faces here, all of whom were among the country’s leading professionals, with qualifications and abilities among the best in the country.

Realizing the importance of this meeting, everyone waited patiently for the person sitting in the seat at the head.

After waiting for more than an hour, a young man who was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old walked in with a tired look on his face, sat down in the main seat with dignity, drank a sip of water, and went straight to the point.

“Let’s start this meeting. I’m Si Qi, you can just call me by my name.”

A group of people looked at the young man silently, with somewhat strange expressions on their faces.

However, the bodyguards standing behind the boy were too conspicuous. They held back and did not say anything to stop him from continuing to speak. The boy continued in a calm tone, “I will arrange your respective tasks next. Since time is tight, please skip the discussion and just do as I say.”

“Academician Lu Mi, Academician Chu Sheng, and Li Muran, please go to Laboratory 304, Building A to conduct research on the defense measures against mutant plants.”

“Professor Zhao Qiyuan and Professor Li Fen, please go to the Ability Research Laboratory on the second floor of Building B to study the evolution of abilities…”

“Wait a minute.” An old academician with gray hair interrupted with a frown, “I am a biologist, specializing in the breeding and habit research of mammals. I am not good at plants. Is there something wrong with your job assignment?”

Si Qi glanced at the academician and said expressionlessly, “No problem, please do as I say.”

“I can’t do it!” Another academician followed suit and said unhappily, “I am very knowledgeable in the field of cell mutation! Didn’t you come here to develop a vaccine to solve the zombie virus? Why do you want me to do something else!”

“Excuse me, Academician Lu, I know you want to make some achievements, but with your ability, you won’t get any results from researching vaccines. It’s just a waste of effort.” Si Qi said this in a rather impolite way, and many people’s faces changed after hearing this. Academician Lu was so angry that his beard stood up, and he said angrily: “I can’t get any results, can you?!”

Si Qi rubbed his forehead lightly with his fingers. He was so tired from working for several days that his brain was dizzy. He said directly: “Yes, I can. As long as you follow my arrangements, the vaccine can be developed sooner or later.”

Academician Lu said angrily: “What can a young boy like you develop! Is this the time for you to play house? So many people outside are worried, and the time of the whole world has stopped because of this! I don’t have time to mess with you!”

“No matter who you are or what your background is, you have no right to waste our time at this time.” A lady said sternly, “If you want to play house, please find someone else. Your arrangement is simply nonsense!”

The atmosphere was tense when the door suddenly opened and Lei Feng, who had settled the handover matters, walked into the conference room.

Because Lei Feng was the first to bring Si Qi’s prophecy, and all the orders a few days before the end of the world were taken on by Lei Feng. Therefore, when the end of the world really came, the troubles and pressures in the past instantly turned into responsibilities and burdens. Lei Feng was currently the chief commander who was specifically responsible for this matter, and was also responsible for the handover with Si Qi. His status and position had changed dramatically overnight.

He came to the meeting room mainly to hear from his subordinates about the various obstacles Si Qi encountered in the base in the past two days. Although most of them were solved by the teenager independently, the teenager, who was already in poor health, was sent to the infirmary several times because of the heavy workload. Now his physical condition had not improved, and he came here without stopping. Facing a group of old scholars who would not give in when it comes to academics, it would be incredible if he could solve the problem easily and smoothly. Lei Feng rushed to help the teenager to calm down as soon as he heard the news.

Sure enough, after the door was opened, what he saw was a tense scene.

The bodyguards stood in front of Si Qi familiarly to prevent anyone from getting angry and causing trouble for Si Qi.

A group of very prestigious professors and scholars in the country all looked at the young man who kept coughing at the main seat with disdain and had no intention of following his orders.

The young man frowned and said, “Didn’t you hear the instructions from above before you came in? Didn’t you hear the instructions from above …

Every time a task was issued, a group of people would start arguing and questioning Si Qi’s qualifications to order them around. They were saying the right things, but in their hearts they were not convinced that they had to listen to the orders of a young boy. They were completely unable to understand Si Qi’s requirements and were unwilling to obey and cooperate.

One person said to Si Qi coldly: “Obeying orders does not mean that we have to accompany you in making trouble. Unfortunately, we are not warriors and we are not used to following orders.”

“If you can’t come up with an arrangement that can convince us, we will take care of it ourselves and you don’t have to worry about it.” Another person said sarcastically.

Seeing this group of people mocking the young man, Lei Feng punched the door with a loud bang. His face was dark and his tone was cold: “Those who refuse to obey orders, get out immediately! This is not a place for you to show off your power and take advantage of your seniority!”

Several elderly people were startled by the loud noise. They jumped in their seats and turned back to look at the officer in panic. They were indeed a little frightened by the fierce aura that was about to burst out.

Si Qi said impatiently: “Well, I’ll give you ten minutes. If any of you feel dissatisfied, you can come out and discuss with me. If your knowledge level is not as good as mine, then just listen to my arrangements.”

Several scholars sneered at his words and mocked him: “You don’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.”

Si Qi was too lazy to respond and pointed directly at Academician Lu: “Please come in.”

Academician Lu was arrogant and said: “I have been researching a new topic for the past two years, but have not yet achieved any results. If you can answer it, I will respect you.”

Si Qi nodded, asked someone to bring a whiteboard, picked up a marker, stood up, and started writing the formula without stopping.

The pen made a slight sound as it crossed the whiteboard. Academician Lu was stunned when Si Qi wrote the first line of the equation. A moment later, he rushed to the whiteboard, staring at the equation with wide eyes, looking extremely serious.

Si Qi coughed twice and turned around to drink a sip of water. Academician Lu said anxiously, “Keep writing!”

Si Qi took the cup of water handed to him by the guard, glanced at him, and said, “Do you believe in my ability now?”

Academician Lu was stunned. Looking at Si Qi’s young face and dark hair, he said dumbfoundedly: “You, you are…”

Si Qi: “Just believe it.”

The owner of this body was very similar to the original owner in the previous world, both of them were cold and indifferent, so Si Qi didn’t say much. He just finished writing the equation at the end and said to the man, “Take a picture with your phone and look at it later. I don’t have time for you to study these now.”

Academician Lu said anxiously: “This is a result I have been studying for several years and still can’t get. How can it be possible that -“

“Things need to be prioritized, Academician Lu.”

Si Qi waved his hand, and a guard nearby took a picture of the contents on the whiteboard with a camera, while another person forcefully erased the contents on the whiteboard amid Academician Lu’s distressed cries.

The people nearby were stunned, not understanding what was going on. Si Qi said, “Who else doesn’t obey my arrangement? Next one.”

The group of people looked at each other for a moment, and finally someone stood up and said, “I have a formula, can you solve it?”

Si Qi glanced at him and said, “Is it appropriate for you to test me with the equation that has troubled you for more than ten years?”

The person opposite was stunned, “How do you know…”

Si Qi turned around to face the whiteboard, and without asking the other party to write out the formula, he directly started writing the analytical formula.

Then the situation was almost exactly the same as before.

This person was yelling “Don’t erase it, don’t erase it, this is a treasure for all mankind!” while the bodyguard cruelly wiped off the contents on the whiteboard. He was crying and jumping up and down in pain.

Now, no one dared to give Si Qi the cold shoulder.

Si Qi: “Is there anyone else who is not convinced?”

The scene was silent.

Si Qi nodded, his voice as cold as ever: “Then please go to the designated location for research as required.”

One of them suddenly asked, “Who are you?”

Si Qi coughed twice, raised his head, looked at the people who were staring at him, and said, “I’ve said it from the beginning, I’m Si Qi.”

Everyone was silent, trying hard to remember if they had heard this name before.

“If you have a research bottleneck or something that requires at least a week of complex calculations, come to me directly and I can give you the answer on the spot.”

After saying this, the boy stood up and left the meeting room, leaving behind a group of mentally shocked experts who were dazed as they accepted the reorganization of their worldview.

One of them grabbed Lei Feng’s hand and refused to let him go, saying stubbornly, “Who is this young man? Why have we never heard of him before?”

Lei Feng: “It’s normal that you don’t know. He is our country’s top secret.”

The group of people were a little shocked when they heard this, and they didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The more Lei Feng thought about the scene where the young man was accused, the more angry he became. He frowned and said unhappily: “But there is one thing I can tell you. The reason why you were able to arrive here safely under the protection of so many people without encountering any danger is because Si Qi specifically asked you to come here! It is not because of your past achievements or your deep experience. It is simply because Si Qi needs you, so he sent us to find you! Since you promised to follow orders after coming here, do things according to the rules. Don’t keep causing trouble just because you think you are capable. This is not the time for you to mess around.”

The scholars looked at each other in bewilderment, and after a moment, they all showed expressions of shame.
