Chapter 230 Extra 9
Carl looked at the food in front of him in silence for a long time, until the insulation warning light on the side of the tray indicated that it was about to expire. Then he picked up the cutlery and ate all the food bite by bite.
After a few seconds, the tabletop suddenly opened to both sides, and the middle table with the tray and empty plates sank down. Then the two sides turned over and slowly closed together, turning into a clean new table.
Carl leaned back in his chair, staring at the table, thinking silently.
Why were these the foods delivered?
Was it to remind him that they already knew about his past?
What do they want?
------------
After entering a constant speed, the Gemini fleet will need to fly for another eight days before it can enter the range of that signal.
Luming asked Lan why he didn't just jump to its side?
Lan explained that all interstellar products have signal detection systems, such as their Gemini. If another spacecraft with detectable signals approaches them quickly and crosses their safety range, their spacecraft will automatically carry out a range attack. Only by traveling at a constant speed or even slowly can a certain level of safety be ensured.
Therefore, even though the daily activities lasted a long time and he had to eat an extra meal, it was boring to just wait like that. Lu Ming had no other choice but to cook every day and solve his own meals to pass the time.
Lan had watched her cook and her movements were very pleasing to the eye, but it was a pity that he had no sense of taste or digestive system, so he couldn't taste it.
"Then how do you usually replenish your energy? I see you're awake almost thirty hours a day. Don't you need to shut down and recharge or something?"
"No, actually, as long as I'm exercising, I'm actually replenishing my energy."
"I see."
Lu Ming chatted with Lan and cooked at the same time, and time passed slowly.
The only bad thing is that because that person can't come to this floor and she doesn't want to go downstairs, the two of them haven't seen each other in the past few days.
However, Lu Ming often went to the main control room and watched what he did every day through the surveillance outside his room.
Then I found that although there were many entertainment facilities on his floor, what he usually did, apart from staying in his lounge, was just exercising and going to the observation deck to look at the space. He would go to each place for several hours, and I couldn't see Lu Ming indoors, so I had to wait in front of the screen in advance when he was walking in the corridor.
Whenever he saw that lonely figure, Lu Ming would reach out and gently stroke the little man on the screen.
Then the lingering thoughts will come flooding in, unable to be suppressed.
She sighed for the thousandth time. When would he finally remember her?
Just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the fourth day, Carl sat at the table, looking at the delicious food in front of him in increasing silence, feeling very irritated.
The food served changes every day, and every dish suits his taste. There are even several kinds of food that only people around him know he likes.
So, what exactly do these people want to do?
What? You say you're not interested in his past, but you still want him to confess his crimes?
If he doesn't go, you'll remind him like this every day?
He took a deep breath, gradually clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, then suddenly relaxed and finished eating in silence. Then he stared at the empty plate that was put away, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"jingle."
"Huh? Why am I hungry so quickly today? I didn't do anything special." Lu Ming muttered to himself as he hurried to the kitchen, picked up a few plates from the warming table next to him and put them on the tray. He then carried it and walked towards the elevator.
I went down six floors before getting out of the elevator.
Then she stood outside the elevator and coughed lightly. A small door immediately opened on the wall next to the elevator, and a small dining cart unfolded from its folded state, slid out, and slid in front of her.
She put the tray on, then tapped the screen, propped her chin up and whispered, "Do you want to write something today?"
"Well, he didn't go out much today, so he's hungry so quickly. Maybe he didn't have enough food?" After thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind and wrote: Is the portion sufficient? Do you need more?
After writing, she nodded, patted the mechanical arm of the food cart, and said, "Go."
The food cart started to slide, but before it had gone far, it was suddenly grabbed by a hand!
Lu Ming was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked up quickly.
Then she saw that Karl was standing in front of the dining car with a dark face, looking at her coldly.
Oops......
Lu Ming's heart started beating wildly, and his first reaction was to run away!
However, as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed tightly, and she was pulled back with a strong force to face the person behind her.
He tilted his head slightly, staring into her eyes, and uttered a few words: "So it was you. You were spying on me?"
Otherwise, how did she know that he didn't go out much today?
Lu Ming was frightened by the aura he exuded. He broke out in a cold sweat, stammered and couldn't speak, and kept backing away.
After all, she watched him every day, so it seemed like she was really monitoring him...
“I…I…”
Karl looked at her evasive eyes, and he knew that what he said was right without hearing the answer.
He approached her step by step and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so concerned about my meals every day? Are you trying to remind me that you know about my past? What do you want?!"
Lu Ming raised his eyes suddenly and denied it hastily: "What about your past? I don't know! I don't want anything, I just simply want to cook for you..."
Karl raised the corner of his mouth, then suddenly pressed her against the wall next to the elevator, then approached her and asked, "Don't know? Don't want anything? Oh, then you are so eager to show your courtesy, don't you want me?"
The little girl in front of him immediately had red eyes, bit her lips, frowned, and looked at him without saying a word.
Seeing the hurt in her eyes, Carl became increasingly irritated for some reason, so he said viciously, "Stop wasting your time! I don't like a woman like you! I really don't understand how someone like you can become a captain. Why don't you give me this position, and then I'll consider letting you sleep with me!"
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming raised his hand and slapped him hard.
"Bastard!" She yelled at him angrily, then struggled to break free from his hand and turned to rush into the elevator.
However, as soon as she stepped into the elevator, she stumbled. She quickly supported herself against the wall with her hands to avoid falling to the ground. Then, without even looking, she casually pressed a row of floors and then leaned against the elevator with her strength exhausted.
Karl hadn't expected her to do this at all, so he stood there in a daze for a moment.
He poked the cheek on the side of his face that was hit with his tongue, a little dazed.
This was the first time he had been slapped in his life.
After all…whether fighting as a child or fighting as an adult, the enemies never have such a “gentle” approach.
But to be honest, although she was very powerful, her strength was too weak, so it didn't hurt at all, just a little hot.
But he calmed down for a moment and felt that what he had just said was too much.
He obviously didn't want to say that.
Tsk.
Never mind, she beat him too, so let's just call it even.
Just as he was about to turn around, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a striking red spot on the wall next to him.
He walked closer and took a closer look, and found that the spot on the wall was protruding, and the red spot was actually... fresh blood.
Then he suddenly remembered the flash of pain on her face just now, his face changed, and he punched the wall angrily.
Damn it!
He accidentally hurt her again.
Is this man made of glass?
It can be so fragile.
He turned and looked at the elevator, a little hesitant.
At this moment, he heard the rumbling sound of wheels behind him. He turned around and saw the small dining cart slowly sliding towards his room.
Carl took a deep breath with a headache.
Now, it's not fair.
