The waters off the continent of Nuojin.
Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng piloted the "Qian T1" submarine and controlled ten underwater reconnaissance aircraft to search for more than a month.
Their mission this time is to circumnavigate the continent and install various detection devices on the continental shelf in order to uncover a conspiracy deep underground.
It was mid-winter, and the sea was covered with ice, making navigation difficult for small boats. The advantage was that seabed life was relatively inactive, posing little problem for the submarine.
As a first-generation submarine, the "Qian T1" was not large in size and only had basic functions. Living conditions were relatively harsh.
The lounge was barely four or five square meters, half of which was a bed and the other half a passageway.
There is a folding table and two folding chairs in the aisle, which are usually folded up against the wall when not in use.
At the end of the corridor is a mini washroom with a system that can convert seawater into fresh water for use.
You can't cook here; there's only a magical fire-based "microwave oven" that can defrost and heat some frozen foods.
The bed is essentially a sofa. Above the bed, there is a surveillance system hanging from the ceiling, which can be used to keep an eye on things while someone is resting in bed.
The two usually take turns resting, with each person responsible for driving for 12 hours a day, and arranging their non-driving time according to the situation.
It was Xiao He's rest time. She had just woken up naturally after sleeping for eight hours, stretched, and prepared to get up and eat something.
Although the place was really cramped, she still lived a very fulfilling life. This also proves the saying—home is where you are, no matter when or where.
"Ding-dong!"
One minute later, the food heater made a crisp sound.
Xiao He happened to come out of the washroom, casually lifted the lid, and took out a steaming basket of soup dumplings.
These frozen products are kept extremely fresh, and their taste after thawing and heating is not significantly different from when they are fresh.
She pressed the remote control on the wall to put down the table and chairs, and then sat down properly at the table.
There is also a cutlery tray on the table; you can take out chopsticks, spoons, or forks by opening the plastic cover.
"Let's dig in!"
Xiao He rubbed his hands together while holding his chopsticks.
She licked her lips as she gently pressed one of the soft, white soup dumplings with her chopsticks.
The buns have a thin skin, and you can vaguely see the meat filling inside. Perhaps because of the abundant broth, they even look somewhat translucent.
She carefully picked one up, afraid of breaking it, and quickly lowered her head to bring her face close to it.
Then he opened his mouth and put the chopsticks in it.
"Gurgle..."
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
"Hmm~~~"
The skin of the small soup dumplings cracks open when you bite into them, releasing warm and delicious soup.
In that instant, it felt as if every pore on her body had opened up.
The soup poured down her esophagus, and her empty stomach sent out a message of intense craving, which made her involuntarily begin to chew.
The small ball of minced meat was soft, chewy, and elastic, with the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat.
Oily but not greasy, fresh but not fishy, paired with chewy noodles, it makes your whole body excited as your tongue dances...
"Delicious! So delicious!"
She couldn't help but squint her eyes and tilt her head back, her cheeks bulging as she clenched her teeth, a little oil seeping from her tightly pursed lips.
"Gurgle!"
She finally swallowed this mouthful of ultimate enjoyment.
"tasty!"
"Quickly give Xuefeng a couple of bites!"
She picked up her chopsticks, hugged the cage, and ran excitedly out of the small room.
"Snow Peak—"
"Xuefeng—breakfast is ready!"
Turn right after exiting the lounge to find the cockpit and control center. Wang Xuefeng was currently in the pilot's seat, intently recording the information relayed by the reconnaissance aircraft.
"You're awake?" Wang Xuefeng turned around, his face instantly beaming with a smile.
"Mmm! This is so delicious! You should have a bite!"
Xiao He, with an expression of discovering a new continent, darted to the passenger seat next to the driver's seat and held the basket of small soup dumplings to his nose, letting him sniff them.
“If you like this flavor, I’ll make more in the future.” Wang Xuefeng smiled.
"You haven't tried it yet! Come and have a taste!" Xiao He said as he picked up a piece with his chopsticks.
"ah--"
Wang Xuefeng did not refuse and opened his mouth to wait to be fed.
"Gurgle..."
"How is it? It's incredibly delicious, isn't it!" Xiao He's eyes lit up: "This is the first thing I want to learn from now on!"
"First?" Wang Xuefeng chewed while staring wide-eyed, and said somewhat indistinctly, "So you like this flavor that much?"
"Yes! That's fantastic! Really!" Xiao He affirmed three times.
"Then we'll have to find a factory to raise this breed of pigs..." he silently wrote down.
"By the way! Where do you get this kind of meat?"
Even if Wang Xuefeng didn't say it aloud, she could immediately think of this crucial question.
"This is a wild boar that lives in the coastal mountains, called the Lanbai Mountain wild boar. It is not very big and eats fish and shrimp washed ashore. It is one of the few breeds that can eat raw fish and shrimp without getting sick, and it has a very strong resistance," Wang Xuefeng explained in detail.
"Lanbai Mountain?" Xiao He recalled the coastal mountain range he had passed through before.
During that period, they encountered a special ocean current, so the two of them went ashore and lived there for three days, leaving only various detection equipment on the seabed.
"So you took the opportunity to go hunting back then!" Xiao He suddenly realized.
"A chef who doesn't aspire to be a gourmet isn't a good hunter." Wang Xuefeng smirked. "Finding high-quality ingredients is a hunter's mission."
