Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 450 449. Creating a livable ecological model is urgent, right?

The night drive was accompanied by a lively atmosphere in the car, which lasted until the first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, bringing with it a scorching wind.

The 'wall' formed by the sand and dust raised by the foehn wind seemed to be slow but was actually fast. However, before that, Seifer had already retrieved the small reconnaissance plane and directed the vehicle to drive into a complex area composed of rugged and exposed rocks.

Overly complex weathered rock structures can prevent large amounts of sand and gravel from splashing, provide shade, and share the heat brought by direct sunlight.

Two of the baits that Feldrich had put out were killed last night, indicating that someone was indeed eyeing Sefer's car.

It is still unknown who issued the mission and who is carrying it out, because once a mission issued by the mercenary system is accepted by someone, it will disappear immediately and the specific details of the mission will not be told to others.

When the car came to a complete stop and the transmission and consumption of energy was transferred to the life support system, Seifer broadcast a message in the car, asking everyone to prepare to rest after dinner.

The schedule in the college town is opposite to that outside, perhaps to cultivate students' living habits. In any case, before the sun rises, some people have already started yawning and it is time for them to go to bed.

A large group of people poured into the cafeteria. As soon as they entered, they smelled an aroma that was rarely smelled in the college. The long dining cart was filled with a wide variety of meals, each of which made people's mouths water.

Everyone obediently took their plates and lined up to wait for their meals. Some of the younger ones immediately recognized the person who was helping with the spoon and throwing it into the crowd so that he could blend in.

"Aren't you...Xiaobing?"

Cypher turned around, holding a bucket of sticky soup. "Indeed, it seems you've never told me how to call you."

“Oh…ah, I forgot…”

She answered quietly, then quickly banged on the spoon so that those in line wouldn't have to wait too long.

Aside from the previous crew members, everyone else was new and needed to adapt to the environment, so the food had to be decent and not perfunctory.

Sefer prepared a large pot of braised meat with a rich flavor that could be poured over rice, along with a drink mixed with vitamins and vegetables rich in fiber as the first meal in the car, and the effect was very good.

The food was popular, rich, and everyone was hungry, so the younger generations who had never eaten such a wonderful meal immediately quieted down and started eating.

Ichika, who had been planning to come over to manage order, could only smile, took the plate, praised this somewhat unfortunate junior, and joined the ranks.

The main reason why it's so quiet is that the three noisiest people are not here at all.

Who was the noisiest? Of course, it was Lin Shenxue, Tien and Wei Erwei. You could easily imagine the consequences of these three people moving the undistributed labeled beer to the car.

In the Gnarkuli, the three of them sat in front of chairs and a table that had been welded together. The table was filled with unopened bottles of beer, and the basin contained previously frozen fried chicken nuggets and side dishes.

The three of them were even happier after Lin Shenxue was able to speak using the small auxiliary device on her neck.

Especially Wei Erwei, she didn't look like she had collapsed on the ground, feeling hopeless after the intense dancing and physical activities of the past few days.

Not to mention how excited these guys looked, some of them did not plan to go to the restaurant for dinner, but instead just had a meal with the rations they brought with them.

I'm talking about Leica.

After getting in the car, she has been carefully adjusting the communication equipment, and from time to time she would write something in her notebook. In just one night, she has written several pages.

Seifer came over with a lunch box. "I went to see Dr. Mei. She said that several of the node cities along the way are well-known."

Laika, wearing a communication headset, replied without looking up, "Well, there are many node cities with their own specialties. If we're lucky enough, we might even catch a node city's founding commemoration event."

With her permission, Sefer took the notebook and found that it was filled with the characteristics and communication content of various frequency bands in the desert.

There were also very detailed adjustments to the communication radio equipment. "By the way, Leica, we just left, how about relaxing for a while?" "Dinner is over soon, and Ichika's juniors said they want to go to the recreation room to listen to Nana sing after cleaning. Are you coming?"

Leica paused as he adjusted the frequency band and shook his head slightly. "I'm not going, Red Crossbow. It'll take a long time to adapt to the new working environment... Besides, there are some frequency bands that I'm more concerned about."

"Once you leave the city, the network signal quality becomes very poor, so it can only serve as a supplement. On the radio side, the solar storm has affected the radio waves, and there is currently some noise."

Really professional, Leica.

Perhaps knowing what Cypher's true form looked like, Laika was very relaxed. "Before the sun rose, I heard some sounds that sounded like background noise. I want to track it carefully after the storm passes."

"...Okay, but there aren't many people who can move during the day. Once you've finished tracking them down, go rest. Remember to eat."

Laika suddenly tilted her head, a smile in her eyes: "When I think about you saying such things through this image, I feel like I'm being urged by a parent. Red Crossbow, do you want to be my mother?"

Come on, this is your trick. You are worthy of it.

Seifer thought for a few seconds. "It's not impossible, but my way of raising children is quite strict. Can you really stand it?"

"Just kidding, Red Arrow. I'm not in the habit of choosing a girl who looks younger than me as my mother."

If you say that, a certain blond captain will burst into tears.

Then Leica smiled and temporarily ignored the noise in the headphones. He opened the lunch box and hesitated for a moment: "Sorry, Red Crossbow. I was busy with the assessment when I was in the academy city."

"By the time I was free, it was already the day of departure... I'm really sorry for not responding to your invitation."

Seifer tilted his head and thought for a while, trying to figure out when he should apologize, when he remembered - oh, it was about inviting her to his car for a meal and showing her his true form.

As a result, everyone was busy and forgot about it, and the matter naturally became invalid. As for the current situation... she actually remembers it clearly.

Cypher waved his hand leisurely. "That's nothing. You're now incorporated into my independent mercenary unit. This is no more important than having a meal."

"That's true... but no matter what, it was me who didn't keep my promise."

Sometimes, Laika always showed a subtle stubbornness. Maybe that was why she was able to use the office tricks that Seifer taught her to attract the same sex.

"Okay, I accept the apology, but a verbal apology is too much for me. It needs to be sincere. Sincerity."

"What do you mean by sincerity...?"

When his colleagues were playing games, they often said things like "let people see your breasts when you apologize" or "at least get off the seat naked." When the words came to his lips, Seifer paused.

"Sincerity means finishing this meal and telling me if it was delicious and what you'd like for your next meal. I'm also the cook on the bus, managing everyone's appetites. You didn't expect that, did you?"

Leica nodded: "I really didn't expect that... Well, I will definitely give a serious evaluation."

When everyone was having a great time, Leica suddenly sat back in his chair, holding down his headphones, and carefully adjusted the frequency band.

"what happened?"

"Hmm... It's an encrypted message intentionally mixed in with the normal frequency band. The sender is about 100 to 200 meters away from this car. The content..."

Seifer knocked on the lunch box and said, "No need to decipher the contents. Eat your meal, I'll be back soon."
