"I really want to eat your hot pot and barbecue. They taste so good. I've been craving them for so long. No one else's cooking tastes the same as yours."
Evan stared longingly at Captain Qin and Lin Chuchu.
Team Leader Qin said with a smile, "Then let's have hot pot and barbecue tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll prepare the ingredients."
Evan had been waiting for these words, and fearing that Captain Qin might change his mind, he immediately agreed.
In the following days, they did not rush to collect anything else, but waited until everyone had gathered before going out to gather information.
For the first few days, Lin Chuchu did not leave her home. Instead, she scheduled the artifacts in her spatial storage to be teleported three times a day.
At first, things were chaotic at home. Later, we gradually figured out the pattern and moved the artifacts to another warehouse before the next wave arrived.
At this time, the temperature in Russia was rather low and quite cold.
Anyway, Evan already knew about his space, so he took out a lot of warm clothing from it.
Coal stoves, hand warmers, electric blankets, etc. When the weather is cold, people don't go out. At noon and in the evening, they eat hot pot and barbecue.
Evan's wife is also Chinese, and she is over thirty years old, which makes her an older pregnant woman. Her pregnancy was not very good before.
Because there are few doctors here, and even fewer places to have prenatal checkups.
“I want to go back to China when I give birth, and Evan agreed.”
Aiwen's wife is named Ma Yan. She is quite old to have a child, so she is very careful with the baby.
The hand touching her belly was very gentle, radiating maternal warmth.
Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "Why don't you come back with us then? Once the mission here is completed, we'll all go back."
"Okay, I really can't get used to staying here. I heard that babies are born in water here, and they don't even have a postpartum period."
Ma Yan was terrified whenever she thought about what they had said about giving birth in the water.
Also, aren't you afraid of getting postpartum illnesses if you don't observe the postpartum confinement period?
What if the baby can't be born naturally, and a C-section isn't possible here? What if something goes wrong?
Every time Ma Yan thinks about this, she is terrified and wishes she could return to China immediately.
Fortunately, Evan understood her and promised to come home when the time came.
She was a native Chinese and never imagined she would marry a foreigner.
At first, she couldn't accept Evan's pursuit, but it wasn't until the people around her comforted her and her superiors understood her that she was able to let go of her resentment.
The two spoke in hushed tones, and Ma Yan even used the sewing machine brought by Lin Chuchu's spatial dimension to make clothes for the children.
She is actually very skillful and can do embroidery, but after arriving here, she couldn't buy a sewing machine and couldn't bring it from China. Unexpectedly, she was able to find a sewing machine at this time.
She envied Lin Chuchu for having a spatial ability, but she wasn't jealous. She knew that the more you had, the greater your responsibilities and the more dangers you would encounter.
No wonder the country sent Evan to collect those cultural relics. Those relics originally belonged to China, but were looted by these foreign powers.
Now that they have the ability to bring back cultural relics, they naturally want to get all the lost relics back.
When Ma Yan was dating Ai Wen, her background was investigated by the authorities, and she passed through layers of political vetting. He was also a patriot.
The two were talking in hushed tones when they heard the sound of a car coming from the doorway. Aiven and Captain Qin had returned.
Mu Chen went to greet them, and the group changed clothes while talking.
It started snowing heavily outside without us noticing, and the temperature was very low; it was freezing cold.
Liu Xiaonuan served everyone a bowl of ginger soup to warm them up.
Team Leader Qin explained the current situation: "Tomorrow we'll go and collect all those machine tools. However, we can't go to the museum for now; I heard that Asians are prohibited from entering there."
It's probably related to those fake artifacts that appeared in the US and the US. Even without evidence, those fake artifacts are still Chinese artifacts. If people still can't guess that they are related to China, they're fools.
Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen looked regretful, and Mu Chen comforted them.
"This is already very good. After all, we bought so many cultural relics. Sooner or later, we will have the opportunity to come into contact with the rest."
Team Leader Qin nodded. Yes, as long as Lin Chuchu is still alive, and as long as they can access those cultural relics in the future, they will be able to bring them back sooner or later.
It was bitterly cold, and there was no heating in the room. They could only warm up by the stove and fireplace. After a while, they felt much warmer.
Evan kept chattering about wanting to eat hot pot, and this weather is indeed the perfect time for it.
The meat and vegetable balls, along with various hot pot bases, smell wonderful whether spicy or not.
Soon, the room was filled with delicious aromas as everyone ate and chatted.
The next day, Lin Chuchu waited for Captain Qin to give the order to depart. However, several people suddenly arrived at the manor; they were Chinese personnel left behind there.
After saying something, Qin's expression turned solemn as he escorted the person out.
Mu Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Team Leader Qin led him to a secluded spot.
"Our people have discovered a secret base, and it seems like they're conducting some kind of experiment inside."
"Some people have gone missing near the base, most of them young people, so our people suspect that the base is conducting human experiments."
Human experimentation again. Why do these foreigners like to conduct human experiments so much?
If Japan is like this, then other countries are too. Can't we just live a normal life?
Mu Chen frowned in frustration. "Then what do we do? Do we have the ability to sabotage it? Don't forget we have a main mission. If something happens to Chu Chu, our mission will fail too."
He suddenly wondered why Lin Chuchu's space had an extra remote teleportation function.
If the country can receive things quickly, does that mean the country won't prioritize Lin Chuchu's safety?
Thinking of this, Mu Chen tensed up, his aura low, and his gaze toward Captain Qin was filled with murderous intent.
Team Leader Qin frowned, quickly realizing Mu Chen's idea.
"Comrade Mu, don't be nervous. Protecting Comrade Lin's life is our responsibility. We will not take any risks for her, even if it costs us our lives, to protect her safety."
"Moreover, the top leader has given a strict order that no matter what, Comrade Lin must be brought back safely."
What if Lin Chuchu becomes useless?
Mu Chen didn't say those words aloud because he knew how powerful Lin Chuchu's space was, and that the higher-ups wouldn't abandon her.
After reassuring Mu Chen, Qin had no intention of doing anything. Even if he wanted to destroy the research base, it wouldn't be at this time.
Unless, after Lin Chuchu returns to China safely, he reports to his superiors and sends his group back to Russia.
