I cast a dust removal spell, and the air in the room immediately became much fresher. When I came back, I brought the two of them in and put them on the bed to lie down.
Jian Ning came over and gave them a medical check-up.
"It's nothing serious, just fright and lack of oxygen, they passed out. Let them sleep for a while, they've probably been mentally traumatized."
As Jian Ning spoke, she waved her hand and took out a stove from her spatial storage. She lit the stove in the room, and although it was a bit choking, it was very effective at raising the temperature.
Otherwise, the indoor temperature is almost the same as the outside temperature. It wouldn't be good if people were scared to death and then frozen to death.
With the open flame, the room quickly warmed up.
Liu Gang was young and in good physical condition, and soon he slowly opened his eyes.
She immediately spotted Xiao Lingfeng standing at the head of the bed. She struggled to sit up.
"Captain Xiao, where is this?"
"It's alright now, we're still inside. We're safe now. We were swallowed by the giant snake, but I've already killed it."
"You rest for a while, I'll make some snake meat for you to nourish yourselves later."
After Xiao Lingfeng finished speaking, he strode out and retrieved one of the two dead pythons from the elevator entrance outside.
I cut open the belly of the one I had cut off, cut off a large section of its tail, and put the rest into my spatial storage.
Then I took it back inside and cleaned it up in the kitchen.
He placed a flat-bottomed pan on the stove, poured in oil, and started roasting. Soon, the room was filled with the aroma of roasting snake meat. Old Wang also slowly woke up at this time.
There was no way around it; the aroma was just too overpowering. Even while he was unconscious, he couldn't help but smack his lips.
Jian Ning took out a bottle of Moutai from her spatial storage; it was for Old Wang to drink, to calm him down.
Liu Gang has recovered by now. He came down to help, mainly adding wood to the fire and handing over seasonings.
He couldn't help but marvel at his own good fortune; to survive being swallowed by a snake was something few people in the world could do. He was so grateful to be with Captain Xiao. That's what safety is all about.
The snake meat was quickly grilled. Jian Ning went to the kitchen, got the bowls and chopsticks, washed them, and then gave each person a large plate of snake meat, along with two hot white steamed buns.
Xiao Lingfeng hadn't eaten anything on the plane, so he had a good meal with the snake meat.
Jian Ning was worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so she gave him her two steamed buns as well.
Then everyone was given a bottle of warm mineral water. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, and seeing that Old Wang was in good spirits, they boarded the plane again and continued their flight.
To prevent any further accidents, Xiao Lingfeng flew directly to Beijing without stopping for the rest of the journey. The regimental commander had only given a general location for the base; no specific location was provided.
Once we got here, we could only search while flying.
Thanks to the base's continued power supply and well-equipped radar system, the helicopters were detected early in the polar night, and signals were sent from the ground to guide them to land.
As soon as the plane came to a stop, four people disembarked. Armed soldiers approached them.
He first saluted, then asked the question.
"Was this sent by Commander Gao? Is Old Wang here?"
"That's me. They all came here to protect me," Old Wang said with a smile, taking a step forward.
"Welcome, welcome! Our leader has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Please come inside; it's too cold outside, and you must have had a long journey."
The soldiers warmly welcomed them inside, and it was only then that Jian Ning realized it was actually a gymnasium.
It has now been requisitioned as a temporary shelter for the people. The originally empty venue has been divided into many small cubicles.
The temperature inside wasn't cold at all; it seemed to be using central air conditioning. No wonder the capital city is so much more luxurious than the provinces. Even in the apocalypse, it can still support such a large power consumption.
The soldier led them to their lodgings first, and then took Old Wang away alone.
Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng are staying together because Liu Gang mentioned that they are a couple when the rooms were being assigned.
"How many more days are we staying in Beijing? Aren't we just going back?"
Jian Ning sat down on the bed. There wasn't even a sofa in the room. However, there was a large television on the wall. She didn't know if it was just for show.
"Let's wait and see. We can't just drop them off and leave. I reckon the leaders here will want to see me and ask about the situation at our base. It's not easy to contact them right now, and it's even more difficult for those who have come over."
Jian Ning listened to Xiao Lingfeng's idea and thought it made sense.
Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry to go back. If food and lodging were provided here, she could wander around with Xiao Lingfeng and see if they could find anything good.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, the soldier who had led them over invited Xiao Lingfeng over. He didn't call Jian Ning, probably because he knew she was just an accomplice and not important.
But he didn't come empty-handed; he brought Jian Ning some fruit.
"These are cultivated by our own base. They taste pretty good. Comrade, you can try them. Comrade Xiao Lingfeng will be back in a short time."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. Thank you for the treat." Jian Ning took a cherry tomato and put it in her mouth. To be honest, it tasted sweet and sour, and the texture was quite good.
I casually picked up the remote and turned on the TV. Surprisingly, there were programs, but none of them were live; they were showing a spy drama. That was the only channel, but it was still pretty good.
She hadn't watched TV in a long time, so she sat on the bed eating fruit and watched it with great interest.
When Xiao Lingfeng returned, he saw Jian Ning smiling happily in front of the TV.
"What show? Is it that good?" Xiao Lingfeng took off his coat as soon as he came in. The temperature in the room was alright. Wearing too many layers would have been too hot.
"It's quite interesting. A perfectly good spy film was turned into a comedy. The director is quite talented. I had only heard that it was good before, but I had never actually seen it."
"What did you say?" Jian Ning turned the TV volume down a bit and asked, turning around.
"The commander said that we should stay here for two days and take the supplies they have prepared back with us."
I already said that I have a space-based ability.
The commander was very pleased. Not many of the gene warriors here have awakened spatial abilities; most are either strength-based or based on the wind, fire, or water elements. Lightning and spatial abilities are extremely rare.
"Since you've said it, let's wait and see. Is Liu Gang coming back too?"
"He's not leaving; he'll stay here to protect Old Wang. That's the order Commander Gao gave him."
Even now, Xiao Lingfeng still doesn't know what abilities this Old Wang has that makes him so highly regarded, not only by Commander Gao but also by the top leader. However, it's a military secret, and no matter how curious he is, he can't ask.
