"Bang..."
"Waaaaah..."
"Ding ding ding... Clang clang clang..."
Listening to the bombs being loaded and then chainsaws being used, and then more bombs being used, and feeling the ground shaking from time to time, Yu Zhen wiped the dust off his face, tore open a package of dry rations and took a bite.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Yu Zhen spat out the pebbles that had fallen into his dry rations and stuck in his mouth. He raised his hand to fan them away, his face showing undisguised disgust. "Are these people's brains filled with concrete and sand? It's been so long and they still haven't figured it out."
His tone was full of indignation and disdain, perfectly capturing the demeanor of a leader who looked at his incompetent subordinate with utter disappointment and resentment at his subordinate's hopelessness.
If it weren't for the constraints of the situation, he would have almost walked slowly with his hands behind his back, patted Zhou Siyun and her group on the shoulders, and said in three breaths, with a heartfelt tone, "Little Zhou, you've taken the wrong path..."
"Based on the available information, the walls of the underground laboratory were reinforced with the most resilient molten metal, and the laboratory door was made of pure steel, weighing over a hundred tons, with an outer layer of extremely hard metal. This amount of explosives... tsk tsk tsk..."
Zhou Siyu shook his head, seemingly quite regretful. Rather than wasting the bombs here, it would be better to save them to deal with the unknown monsters.
After a busy day that seemed to have yielded no results, Zhou Siyun and her group stopped to rest and eat to replenish their energy.
The aroma of the self-heating hot pot made Zhou Siyu's mouth water.
Looking at his own body, which was almost completely empty except for the mecha, and the food storage compartment filled with nothing but compressed biscuits, Zhou Siyu felt like his back teeth were about to be worn down. It's true what they say, comparison is the thief of joy!
While others eat beer, hot pot, and barbecue every day, and have all-you-can-eat feasts, he can only have compressed biscuits and water, and even a small piece of chocolate has to be eaten over several days.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please calm down." Sensing the burning anger beside her, Yu Zhen spoke tremblingly, "Our conditions are a bit tough, but... but..."
"Um?"
Zhou Siyu turned to look at Yu Zhen, her expression clearly saying, "If you can't give me a straight answer, I'll send you on your way today."
"But...but...we have nothing."
Yu Zhen's CPU was almost burning out, but he still couldn't think of any reason. Under Zhou Siyu's powerful pressure, he shrank his neck. If he had a shell, he would have hidden inside long ago and never come out.
"Aaaaaah, I want to request an extra meal!"
Smelling the aroma of meat, Zhou Siyu couldn't resist. He fiddled with the mecha for a while, and by sheer luck, he actually managed to open the military's internal communication network.
Looking at the two big characters "Yuwei" at the very beginning, Zhou Siyu, with an excited heart and trembling hands, clicked the connection application.
"Beep beep beep beep beep..."
Yu Wei raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze swept across everyone's faces.
"Whose communicator?"
Everyone: "..."
"Take care of what's going on first..."
Since arguing about work matters will only lead to nothing anyway, instead of sitting there daydreaming, I might as well take care of my personal affairs first.
Halfway through his sentence, Yu Wei followed everyone's gaze, slowly lowered his head, and fixed his eyes on his wrist.
The small red dot keeps flashing, indicating that someone is using an emergency connection request.
Yu Wei waved his hand to indicate that the meeting was suspended, got up and walked out of the tent, and quickly made the call.
Before he could even speak, Zhou Siyu roared from the other end: "I want extra food!"
Yu Wei held the communicator away, rubbing his ear, and waited for Zhou Siyu to finish yelling before slowly asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
“Zhou Siyun…”
What did she do to you?
Yu Wei's heart tightened. He had previously discovered at the Oran Laboratory that there seemed to be a conflict between Zhou Siyun and Zhou Siyu.
If Zhou Siyun were to make a move at this moment... Yu Wei unconsciously clenched his fists.
"She tempted me with delicious food... They were eating hot pot outside..." Zhou Siyu took a bite of a compressed biscuit and said with a wronged expression, "And there were also pastries that smelled really good..."
Yu Wei: "...?"
Yu Wei slowly unclenched his fist at his side, both amused and exasperated. "You used the emergency call just to say this?"
"Huh? Hmm?"
Zhou Siyu was stunned. What the heck? An emergency call?
"This is the internal emergency contact line for distress calls. My bad, my bad, I should have taught you how to operate the mech sooner." Yu Wei scratched his head. "The mech is a remote teleportation device, and it doesn't have much food inside. I'll adjust it later, but we still need to check if there's any in the warehouse..."
"If it's too much trouble, then don't bother." Zhou Siyu chewed on the compressed biscuit, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart. Suddenly, she realized that the compressed biscuit wasn't so hard to swallow after all. "Compressed biscuits are pretty good."
“No, don’t you know your own body condition?” Yu Wei frowned, his tone becoming more serious. “It was my oversight that I didn’t have time to change yours.” He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and added, “The doctor said you really need nutrition right now, and compressed biscuits aren’t nutritious enough.”
He couldn't stop Zhou Siyu from leaving, so all he could do was prepare his luggage for him.
Zhou Siyu took a sip of water and waited quietly for Yu Wei to continue.
"The mech has a built-in medical examination system and a medication application system. If you feel unwell, you can stop and rest, and get a check-up or something..."
"Be careful inside. It's okay if you don't find anything. Protecting yourself is the most important thing..."
"Let Zhou Siyun and the others lead the charge for you. Don't be a fool and rush in to become a sitting duck. If you encounter danger, run. If you can't outrun them, run as fast as you can..."
"Ugh, aren't you annoying?" Zhou Siyu interrupted Yu Wei's endless nagging, but there was no hint of impatience in her tone. "I'm smart enough not to be tricked by them."
