Lin Chuchu nodded, took the food, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

The captain looked at the papers on her desk. He spoke English, but only enough for conversation.

She didn't understand most of the English words on the paper.

"How's it going? Any leads?"

Lin Chuchu thought about it and realized that she did need someone to offer suggestions.

"Yes, most of what's mentioned here are ordinary things. If it weren't for a slip of the tongue, it would be really hard to notice anything about the base."

"I now suspect they are using some kind of code."

The captain nodded. "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Chuchu was silent for a while, "When I was on a mission abroad, they would put a Bible in every room. I was wondering if it was related to the Bible?"

"But that's only one aspect. Ask around to see if the people on the other side believe in any religion, such as Christianity, or if they read any books that are commonly found in their culture."

"Okay, I'll have the commander find someone to inquire right now."

After Lin Chuchu finished eating, the team leader left with his lunchbox. Lin Chuchu continued working, but some of the words, when translated, didn't make any sense and didn't even form a complete sentence.

Sometimes it's just like talking nonsense.

Lin Chuchu scratched her head in exasperation, her mind racing, which gave her a headache.

Before she knew it, it was evening, and the team leader called her out for dinner.

I ate lunch in the office, but I'm determined to have dinner at the cafeteria tonight.

The two arrived at the canteen, where people were singing military songs outside.

Lin Chuchu was taken aback, not expecting such a custom to exist here.

Lin Chuchu could clearly feel many people looking at her with curiosity.

Lin Chuchu paused. Was it really appropriate for her to walk in in front of so many people?

Never mind, let them finish singing. Each song only lasts a few minutes, and it sounds powerful and exciting.

Finally, the singing ended, and Lin Chuchu and the team leader went into the cafeteria.

Lin Chuchu carried her lunchbox to get her food. When the soldiers in front of her saw her coming, they automatically made way for her.

Lin Chuchu felt awkward, but she still went over and handed over the lunchbox. Lin Chuchu finally saw the food that soldiers usually ate: a pot of cabbage stewed with potatoes, with a little bit of meat in it, which was almost invisible, a shredded potato, and an egg drop soup that was almost completely empty.

Lin Chuchu ordered a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and some cabbage stew with potatoes and shredded potatoes.

The person serving the food didn't recognize Lin Chuchu and thought she was a soldier's family member, so they gave her extra food.

The chef who had saved food for Lin Chuchu yesterday was taken aback when he saw her. "Comrade Lin, please wait a moment. The food I saved for you is still warming up in the pot."

Lin Chuchu quickly shook her head, "No need, no need, I'll just eat the same things as everyone else."

This is already the most difficult time, and the army's food is just so-so, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

"No, the commander specifically instructed me to wait a moment."

After saying that, he ran into the kitchen and brought out several dishes: fried eggs, braised pork, and a bowl of mushroom soup.

Seeing that Lin Chuchu couldn't carry it, they specially handed it to the captain and asked him to help carry it over.

He also gave Lin Chuchu two plums and an apple.

The captain stopped Lin Chuchu, who was still trying to refuse, and said, "Let's go, it's no use refusing."

Thinking about the lunch, Lin Chuchu felt a pang of guilt, realizing she had caused trouble for the army.

She gritted her teeth and resolved to finish translating as soon as possible.

During the meal, Lin Chuchu was somewhat silent. She shared half of the braised pork and egg with the team leader before starting to eat.

Lin Chuchu was halfway through her meal when the soldiers finished eating, stood up, and left.

Lin Chuchu was lost in thought when they approached her. Suddenly, an apple was placed on her, followed by one after another. In addition to the apples, there were also one or two red dates and plums.

Lin Chuchu was stunned. She quickly stood up, wanting to return the items, but the soldiers ran away very fast.

Lin Chuchu said helplessly, "Captain, can you return these things? I can't eat them."

The captain couldn't help but smile when he saw her pained expression.

He took more than half of it, saying, "Keep the rest for yourself, and I'll share these with my teammates."

If he doesn't share some of the money, Lin Chuchu will cry.

Although there were still many, Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.

She made up her mind that starting tomorrow, she would not come to the cafeteria for meals.

At night, lying in bed, surrounded by mountains and forests, all I could hear were the sounds of insects chirping.

Two or three days passed, and Lin Chuchu had gained nothing. She was extremely anxious. Then, one day, news suddenly came over the radio.

A conflict broke out at the border where a city borders another country, with several people attempting to force their way across.

The two people in the office rushed out, followed by a whistle.

Lin Chuchu's heart tightened, and she turned pale as she thought of the war that day.

She stood up and immediately ran outside.

The captain watched her run out and followed behind.

Lin Chuchu saw the leader gathering people, with trucks parked nearby.

Taking advantage of the pause, Lin Chuchu blocked the leader's path.

"Commander, I want to go with you."

The commander frowned, and the captain quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Chuchu.

"Nonsense, war could break out over there at any time, you can't go."

The country opposite is not very powerful, but it is quite chaotic, with armed groups everywhere and many political parties.

"Sir, I'm not joking. There are many people around now, so I might be able to learn about their customs and traditions and decipher their secret language."

The leader refused upon hearing this.

"No, I'll make the soldiers listen to what they have to say, try to remember it, and then I'll come back and tell you."
