Chapter 31 The Disappearing Box

In the Cangqiong Material Depot, Ye Ying, wearing protective clothing, tapped the ground with her toes, and the whole person looked very light, floating forward lightly.

The entire Cangqiong is roughly divided into three areas, the gravity area, the zero-gravity area, and the light-gravity area, and the material depot of the spacecraft is located in the light-gravity area, because this can facilitate the transportation of goods to the greatest extent, but it will not make the goods out of control and fall all over the place. However, it is not completely without disadvantages, and the difficulty of operation here will be relatively increased.

In the endless material depot, square containers are neatly placed together, and there are busy staff everywhere. They are doing the final inventory verification. Soon this area will be taken over by the personnel of Longyin Base, and the personnel of Longyin Base will transfer and verify the materials according to the list they provide.

There is not much time left for them!

The general manager of the material depot, a middle-aged woman with a round face wearing a Yongpang protective suit, saw Ye Ying and the others coming and immediately greeted them.

"Lord Ye Ying."

"Zhou Qing, has the final verification not been completed yet? The people at Longyin Base are waiting outside."

"There was a small accident." Zhou Qing replied nervously.

"An accident? Didn't we check it again and again when we returned?" Ye Ying's heart sank when she heard this.

Zhang Li on the side tilted her head and said, "Don't worry, sister, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It's like this, the cargo number T13094 is missing, and all the regional managers have re-verified the materials in their own areas. Fortunately, from the latest feedback data, there are no problems in other areas, which means that only T13094 is missing. It may be a management problem and I don't know where it is." Zhou Qing explained hurriedly.

"What is in the cargo box of T13094, who is the responsible team, take me to see it." Ye Ying said very straightforwardly.

"Follow me." Zhou Qing hurriedly took Ye Ying to the corner of the material warehouse.

On the way, Zhou Qing explained: "The cargo box T13094 is loaded with regular soil samples, and the nearby T13000 to T13100 are all soil samples. The value of the samples is not particularly great. They are usually used for scientific research. The five-member team of Sergeant Zhao Chang is responsible for guarding them."

As they talked, they came to a corner area. A middle-aged man wearing a sergeant's uniform, with slightly gray hair and looking very taciturn, was scolding four subordinates, three men and one woman, who looked very young. One of the men had an unconvinced expression on his face.

"Sergeant Zhao Chang." Zhou Qing shouted harshly. She was actually very annoyed in her heart. The work that was originally prepared was wrong here.

"Major Zhou Qing." Zhao Chang turned around and saluted.

"You come to explain to Lord Ye Ying." Zhou Qing said without any nonsense.

"Yes." Zhao Chang nodded tiredly.

When Zhao Chang was about to speak, the sergeant with a face full of dissatisfaction said directly: "I looked at the things, and I will be responsible if there is any problem."

"Who are you? What's your name?" Before Ye Ying could speak, Zhang Lu frowned and asked with some displeasure. The soldier in front of him had no manners at all. The superior asked questions without calling him, but actually interrupted.

"My name is Zhao Luo." Zhao Luo also replied without any fear.

"You said you lost it, are you sure?" Zhang Lu asked in a stern voice.

"Yes." Zhao Luo replied affirmatively.

"Zhao Luo!" Zhao Chang was also shocked by Zhao Luo's reckless behavior and hurriedly called Zhao Luo.

"Miss Ye Ying, it seems that the situation is very clear. There is no need for us to waste time here." Zhang Lu turned his head and said to Ye Ying.

Ye Ying turned her head to look at the other three soldiers and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes." One of the three male soldiers hurriedly responded.

Ye Ying fell into deep thought, and seemed to be thinking about how to deal with it.

Zhang Lu said to Ye Ying at this time: "I have a solution."

"What solution?" Ye Ying asked.

"After all, this is an internal management issue of the material warehouse. Now we don't have time to find the lost material box. The people in Longyin Base are already waiting. Since it is not an important material, it is better to hand it over to Major Zhou Qing to handle it. Just report the loss directly and transfer the people involved to the military department for handling afterwards." Zhang Lu said simply.

"This." Zhou Qing was also stunned. The reason why she was still struggling to search now was actually that she didn't want to go to this step.

"Master Ye Ying, Master Zhang Lu, Master Zhou Qing, this is not right. Although Zhao Luo has neglected his duties, it is unintentional. The biggest responsibility for this matter is still me. Please deal with it leniently." Zhao Chang was immediately anxious. If Zhao Luo went to the military department for trial, there was no need to think that the final result would definitely be dismissal from office, which would ruin his future.

"It's my own fault, I will take the responsibility myself." Zhao Luo said unconvinced.

"Enough!" Zhao Chang shouted at Zhao Luo angrily.

Zhao Luo closed his mouth unwillingly.

Ye Ying also looked a little hesitant.

Zhang Lu suddenly said, "I think it's best to deal with it fairly. As for Sergeant Zhao, as the person in charge, he is also responsible."

Zhou Qing's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, and she said with an awkward smile.

"I think it's better to punish one person. After all, it was unintentional."

"Zhou Qing, I think there is nothing wrong with the plan proposed by Zhang Lu, but you are right. There is no need to punish so many people. Just do as you said and punish one person. As for how to punish, it's up to you. Now start clearing the area. All personnel are ready to enter the temporary isolation area and transfer to the material warehouse." Ye Ying raised her head and said calmly.

"Okay." Zhou Qing forced a smile.

Ye Ying turned her head and said to Zhang Li and Zhang Lu.

"Let's go."

"Okay!"

Just as everyone was arguing, a pair of scarlet eyes in the corner of the container stared at everyone.

Zhou Qing waited until they left, and turned his head to look at Zhao Chang with a very ugly expression.

"You're crazy! You jumped out. Do you want to take the blame for this kid and bury yourself?"

Zhao Chang shook his head and said, "I lead the soldiers, it's my responsibility. This matter should be blamed on me. Anyway, I'm old and almost at the age of retirement."

"Are you sure? Do you know what this means? Old Zhao, have you thought it through?" Zhou Qing's expression kept changing.

"Sure." Zhao Chang said.

Zhao Luo said stubbornly at this time: "I made my own mistakes, why should you take the blame."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing slapped Zhao Luo in the face.

He said to the soldier next to him with a sullen look: "Take him away and put him in the confinement room!"

Immediately, the close soldiers led by Zhou Qing rushed up, directly held Zhao Luo, and forcibly twisted him away.

Zhao Luo kept struggling, blushing and shouting: "I don't want you to be a good person, I will do the work and take the responsibility alone..."

Unfortunately, he was dragged away.

There were three people standing nearby with their heads down, including the man who had stepped forward to give evidence, who lowered his head with a hint of gloating.
