The soldiers in the mess hall were overjoyed; such a big wild boar must be full of good stuff.
He quickly took out a knife to skin the wild boar. While working, he also secretly glanced at the leopard lying nearby. He wondered how Captain Xiao had managed to tame such a large beast. He was truly impressive.
It doesn't seem to have any wildness at all, just like a domesticated big cat, even though this cat is a bit large.
The cook cut a piece of wild boar meat and threw it in front of the leopard.
"Here, have some first. I heard you caught this wild boar!"
I thought this leopard would really enjoy eating wild boar meat, but it didn't even glance at it, turning its face away in disgust.
"Hey, Captain Xiao, look at this leopard, it's got quite a temper!"
"It's quite a character. It boils half of the wild boar, braises the rest, and then roasts the rest."
"Find out what kind of food it likes to eat, and make sure it has a good appetite. There won't be a shortage of wild game in the future."
Xiao Lingfeng understood that Da Hua wanted cooked food. He wouldn't cook for himself today. The head chefs in the kitchen were far more skilled than him.
"Oh, I see, it doesn't eat raw meat. Um, if I pick up this pork, will it bite me?"
The cook looked at the piece of meat on the ground, which weighed more than a pound. He was reluctant to throw it away. He wanted to go over, but he was also a little scared. After all, this was a wild beast, not a pet cat.
"It's alright, I'll get it for you." Xiao Lingfeng walked over, picked up the wild boar meat from the ground, and handed it to the cook. Da Hua didn't even lift her eyelids.
Because there were many people working, the wild boar meat was quickly cooked and stewed with potatoes and bok choy, making it especially fragrant.
The base can't grow Chinese cabbage here right now; they can only cultivate this type of bok choy in greenhouses. It has a short growth cycle, and as long as the temperature and water are suitable...
It'll be ready to eat in about 30 days. It can supply the vegetable rations at the base. Of course, there are also mushrooms, which we cultivate ourselves. It can also improve the soldiers' meals from time to time.
As for the large flower, it was a separate large pot of braised wild boar meat, as well as a whole roasted wild boar leg.
Jian Ning didn't stand on ceremony. Once the thigh was cooked, she took a knife and cut off a piece to eat herself.
Da Hua was busy eating braised wild boar meat, which was fragrant, tender, and rich in sauce. She was so engrossed in eating that she didn't even look up.
So they didn't see Jian Ning's little tricks. Even if they had, they probably wouldn't have said anything, at most they'd just think their owner was a glutton.
Except during the Lunar New Year, the soldiers rarely get to eat this much meat these days. Every soldier who comes to eat can't help but praise Da Hua.
It understood every word, and the praise made its fluffy face beam with a smile. It seemed genuinely happy.
It probably doesn't regret following Jian Ning out of its original habitat at all. Here, there's delicious food and different scenery. It has companions to explore with.
It's not fresh enough yet.
After finishing her meal, Jian Ning went home alone. Xiao Lingfeng led Da Hua to familiarize herself with the base, and they still needed to make ample preparations for the ants' next attack.
Jian Ning couldn't help with these matters; the military had its own set of methods.
As soon as she reached the villa's entrance, Jian Anping pushed open the door and came out of her own yard.
"Xiao Ning, is that you?" It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anyone's face. He just asked based on his intuition.
"It's me, brother. It's so cold. Where are you going?"
"The base recruits young and strong men to work, as if they were to make landmines and bury them on the way that ants are coming."
The soldiers were too busy. I thought about signing up; it was also for the sake of protecting our own homeland.
"Do as much as you can. By the way, the ginseng decoction you gave me is really effective; it gave me a nosebleed the first time I drank it."
"Brother, did you drink it without diluting it? That ginseng must be thousands of years old. It must be very potent. Just move around more, or run a few laps around the base if you can't handle it."
"I'm all better now. I was so hot just now, I did hundreds of push-ups in the room."
Jian Anping chuckled twice. He didn't feel the cold air outside at all; his body was radiating heat.
"Then go ahead, take this flashlight with you." Jian Ning took out a rechargeable high-powered flashlight from her spatial storage and handed it to him.
Jian Anping took it and turned it on. The intense light made him feel a little uncomfortable at first.
"Xiao Ning, do you think the weather won't always be this dark? It will eventually pass, right?"
Looking up at the sky, which was as black as a curtain without even a star, Jian Anping didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stood there and asked.
"Three to six months, I'd estimate that's how long it will take. Who knows what other natural disasters might occur after that? Anyway, brother, be careful."
I also told my sister-in-law that if anything seemed amiss, she should hide immediately. The house and such didn't matter; as long as someone was there, everything would be fine.
"Okay, I understand. I'm leaving now, you should go back to your room too." Jian Anping took the flashlight and left, humming a little tune.
He's still in a pretty good mood every day. At least at the base, he has enough to eat and drink, and his wife and kids are happy. That's enough for him. One shouldn't be too greedy.
When Jian Ning returned home, there was no one in the living room. The bedroom light on the first floor was on, probably to save electricity, so Aunt Wang had taken Tian Tian to stay inside.
She didn't go over there, but went straight upstairs.
After returning to his bedroom and closing the door, he entered the immortal abode.
Now that she has nothing to do, she needs to try the ninth level to see what it's like. She's guessing it must be extremely difficult, otherwise why would it be placed last?
Upon entering the exquisite pavilion, I followed the stairs to the ninth floor. With a gentle push, the door opened silently, revealing a misty interior from which I could see nothing.
Jian Ning didn't think much of it and stepped inside.
The door behind me closed silently, and the thick fog slowly dissipated as it closed, revealing a small room that looked to be only about twenty square meters.
The room was empty except for a rosewood desk in the center, on which sat a computer.
Jian Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled. Was this an illusion? Or was it real? How could ancient cultivators have computers? This was too illogical.
But there was nothing else in the room, so we could only carefully walk over and take a look.
Go around to the other side of the desk. You can see the computer is running, with strings of code on it.
During her university years, Jian Ning also studied computer science, but only basic programming. She couldn't do anything too complicated, and looking at the rapidly spinning computer in front of her, she didn't dare to touch it.
