Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 99 98. Who would have thought that going to the bathhouse would lead to encountering ghosts!
As long as you have a recipe in mind, many things will become easy.

Cooking is not difficult, what is difficult is the preparation before cooking and the cleanup after cooking.

After putting a few servings of bread, each of which consisted of a double-layer thick beef patty, something that was probably a cheese slice, and the precious rehydrated vegetables, Safer shaped it with a latte stick and put it in the thermal box, then took a deep breath.

It smells so good. Compared to the portable rations and life-sustaining meals normally consumed in this world, this food, made with limited ingredients, is truly mouth-watering.

Then she had to spend a lot of time cleaning all the cooking utensils and plates. After finishing all of this... she looked at the 'beef patty' on the iron plate.

As a chef, Sefer naturally knows what the essence is.

With a determined heart, he closed his eyes and took a bite. Sefer had been prepared for the taste to be nothing but fragrance, but when he put it in his mouth, he found... it was different from what he had imagined.

The beating technique, as opposed to simply pressing the minced meat together and then searing the outside to bind it together, gives the patty a chewy texture and just the right amount of beef flavor.

After chewing it for a few times, the salty and fragrant taste cooked by fire will fill your mouth. Fry it quickly over high heat to make the juice inside full. Even after taking a bite, your stomach will urgently ask for another bite.

So Seifer puffed out his cheeks and took bite after bite, trying to finish the hamburger meat quickly - but his mouth was too small and he couldn't finish it in a long time.

Fortunately, with her previous experience with fried chicken nuggets, Seifer did not misjudge the portion. By the time she finished the last bite and looked for a tissue to wipe her mouth, she felt quite full and could not eat any more.

After writing down the recipe and sticking it on the door of the storage room, Seifer was planning to go back and re-activate the spare body, but he suddenly smelled an indescribable smell of oil smoke.

After all, working in the kitchen smells very bad, and since you can't even find disposable gloves, it's normal to smell all over.

But when I think about how this smell will be contaminated in the jar, and when it comes out later, it will definitely carry this pungent smell...it makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Everyone was taking a break, so I took this opportunity to go to the bathroom and wash this pajamas that had probably never been washed, and wash myself as well.

According to the module manual of the vehicle body, it seems that in order to save water resources, the water in the shower room is recycled water.

As for the water in the bath, which is theoretically reserved for the captain and can only be used by authorized passengers, recycled water is also used to reduce waste.

The little life hack is that the heat used for circulating water distillation does not require the use of engine work. As long as the water is circulated to the external armor plate, the intense temperature can easily complete the disinfection, sterilization and separation of various substances.

The world's use of free calories always makes people's eyes go dark in unexpected places.

Thinking about something ridiculous, Seifer walked through the corridor outside the public shower room and clicked the control panel at the bathroom door.

After the certification is passed, the bathroom door opens.

After throwing the pajamas that were probably factory set into the fully automatic washing machine, Seifer suddenly turned his head and looked at the floor-length dressing mirror at the bathroom door.

...How should I put it? Although I'm somewhat used to it, this kind of direct inspection seems to be the first time I've done it.

The girl in the mirror turned her head and nodded as she wished; her delicate and pretty face looked a little dull, but this might be because she had used the robotic body so much that she had forgotten how to control her facial muscles.

He allowed himself a slight grin, and although it was strange, it was cute enough on a body like this, and it brightened the mood.

The grey eyes were smart and light, the body was also light. Keep looking... I can't keep looking, or something bad will happen.

I walked into the bathroom barefoot, holding my hair. The soft, non-slip floor didn't seem so cold in the slight moisture.

The tranquil bathtub looked quite luxurious. Sefer even saw a row of control panels against the wall for comprehensive bathing coverage.

It’s not that the people in this world don’t know what enjoyment is. It’s just that they have been fighting everywhere and have no time to observe deeply.

Smoothing his long hair, Seifer carefully read the instructions in the personal shower cubicle next to the bathtub. After confirming that it could dry quickly and had various miscellaneous functions, he stepped into the bathtub with confidence.

The warm, slightly hot but perfectly acceptable water reached up to his knees, allowing Cypher to sit down comfortably, completely submerging all but his head.

She sighed heartily, feeling that being able to soak in the hot water comfortably, regardless of the surroundings, was an indescribable sense of relaxation. However, the water felt a bit too resistant, and the quality was different from the water used to wash vegetables.

Is there some weird additive added to the bath water to thicken it and remove dirt or something?
Opening his eyes with some confusion, Seifer glanced down, ignoring the long gray hair that was like winding silk in the pool for the time being, and prepared to click on the function panel.

What's the point of taking a bath if you don't use the high-tech massage that's readily available?

When she raised her hand, the water with a light color and heat was also lifted up, but it did not quickly slide down her white and slender wrist and arm.

Instead, it is like gel, flexible and clear, wrapped around the hand and lifted up together.

"……Um?"

Making a confused sound, Seifer immediately stood up with one hand under the bathtub!
The sound of splashing water and the gurgling sound of the gel colliding and pulling reached his ears at the same time. Seifer didn't care about anything else and prepared to jump out of the bathtub with the gel!
However, at this moment, she only felt that there was a slight gap between her fulcrum and her hands and feet, and even her whole body was swallowed by the "gel" that suddenly moved and gradually turned into a spherical shape in the surging!
It quickly went over Cypher's head and swallowed her whole. Through the transparent body, Cypher could clearly see the 'boundaries' of this thing.

It was now bulging in the bathtub like a transparent ball, and it had been adjusted to the center area... There was not much oxygen left in its lungs.

I have to leave before I suffocate!

Not caring about his current appearance, Seifer immediately curled up his hands and feet. During this time, he seemed to feel some kind of pulling force, but it was insignificant.

Then, like a stretched spring, it shot upwards!
As mentioned before, Seifer's petite body actually contains enormous power. With just this one movement, the "gel" that wrapped her up showed signs of disintegration.

When Seifer's head first emerged from the gel and was about to grab something, the gel reacted extremely quickly and changed its shape. He even felt countless tiny, rope-like things scraping against his body, trying to pull it back inside.

Some of the water-like gel brushed against his armpits, and Seifer felt an indescribable itch piercing his heart.

She opened her mouth subconsciously: "Hee... Uh... "

As the force dissipated, she only had time to take a deep breath before being pulled back into the gel again.

Even this thing sensed Cypher's weakness, and the countless flowing liquids in the gel stirred like soft little brushes.

Suffering such an attack, especially on the soft soles of his feet and his armpits, which were originally his weak points, Seifer couldn't help laughing, and the air in his lungs disappeared at that moment.

Am I going to die here...

The moment this thought came to mind, Sefer opened his eyes wide and used his authority to remotely control the multi-function shower head of the bathtub.

My lungs felt like they were being pricked by needles, my head felt dizzy, and even the itchy feeling seemed strangely comfortable...

At this moment when his life was hanging by a thread, the adjusted nozzle of the multifunctional nozzle suddenly fired a powerful water pressure that could be called a water cannon!
The ball of gel supporting the bathtub was instantly pierced, and Seifer felt a stream of cold water hitting his body. The feeling flowing through his body, like a slight electric shock, dissipated in an instant.

The gel hit the wall along with her. Cypher immediately grabbed the pull ring on the wall and swung it hard with one hand - finally got rid of it!

The gel that was smashed onto the ground gathered together with a gurgling sound, as if it was very afraid of the cold water. Seifer was gasping for breath, not caring about his own miserable appearance, and stared at the strange thing nervously.

Then, a familiar voice came from the slightly condensed gel.

"How did you sneak into this base? It doesn't matter. I'll tell the commander once I catch you."

It was Dr. Mei's voice.

Cypher asked nervously, "Did you eat Dr. May?!"

Water trickled out from the drain, and the stalemate became awkward.

　A new day, looking for some variety...
