Arknights? Colonization Ark!

He should be lying on the deck sunbathing instead of running out to rob the natives!

Now he is the only one here, and local species can be eaten, so the stored food is not that important. It is the best way to make the best use of it by exchanging it for the resources he needs.

And even if these canned starfish are gone, we can develop animal husbandry once colonies are built in the future, and simply take out the animal embryos from the freezer and cultivate them.

"It is not limited to these two types. One ton of Originium can be exchanged for 20 tons of food."

20 tons!

And these are delicious cans!

Just thinking about this made Yelena want to agree immediately.

If one ton of Originium is converted into moss wheat according to the price, it should actually be converted into about 500 tons.

There are differences between foods

If we take this can to the market and sell it to the nobles, it will definitely fetch a price equal to its weight in Originium.

With the compressed biscuit in hand, this deal is not a loss.

After all, these things can be sold again and exchanged for ordinary moss and flour, and even make a profit.

After all, food is hard currency everywhere.

But unfortunately, Yelena could not agree to this matter. At least she had to discuss it with Tallulah and the others.

Moreover, the Integration Movement does not have as much Originium as 50 tons. Three or four tons is enough at most.

After all, this thing is not as good as red gold for them. There is no equipment in the base that requires a large amount of source stone, and it is far less convenient to bribe than red gold.

But she knew where to find this amount of Originium.

There is a gathering place on the transportation routes of several mines. There is a small warehouse there. Every month, a mobile urban industrial zone comes to load ore, and it arrives on time in the next few days.

Those living there are factory workers and guards.

The Reunion never thought of attacking these mobile towns. The guards could rely on a large number of buildings to slow down the Reunion's offensive speed and then wait for support from nearby garrisons.

Even if they succeeded in conquering the city, the cost would often outweigh the gain. They could not defend the city, and they could not steal the food from the residents, as that would ruin their reputation.

I need to discuss this matter with Tallulah.

If the other party really has so much food, we must take this place at all costs.

Thinking of this, she reluctantly handed back the canned food and compressed biscuits in her hand. The surrounding snow monsters were all tempted by the smell.

Many people haven’t eaten anything in the morning. It’s okay if they don’t want to eat, but their stomachs start to growl when they smell something.

Zhang Miao found the voice somewhat amusing, and Yelena was also irritated by these disappointing younger brothers.

"Get what you need and find a place to eat first."

Zhang Miao could see that the other side was short of supplies, and many of them did not have a weapon that suited them. Even if the ores in these vehicles were useless, those weapons and armor were good things to them.

After they stripped the bodies naked and pumped out the fuel from the containers, Zhang Miao put away the cables and motors, and the group left in a hurry.

The group walked two or three kilometers, and Zhang Miao was not in a hurry to go back, so he just followed them.

On the way, Zhang Miao learned that the leading girl was codenamed Frost Star, but they did not reveal more information. He only knew that they had a base.

After finding a secluded place to stop and rest, the Yeti team took out their dry food to fill their stomachs. However, after smelling the fragrance just now, they looked at the hard dry biscuits in their hands and felt that they could not eat them at all.

Zhang Miao unfolded the portable folding pot in his hand, lit a small piece of solid fuel, threw all the cans and compressed biscuits into it, poured some purified water, and started to stew the soup on it.

As the temperature rises, the soup in the pot begins to boil, the red meat chunks tumble inside, the tempting aroma of the broth wafts around, mixed with bursts of milky aroma from the compressed biscuits.

There are already plenty of spices in the can, and the taste becomes even more fragrant once it is cooked. Moreover, at least 460 grams of the -gram can are real meat!

Even if the snow monsters forced themselves not to think about it, the dry bread in their hands always reminded them how delicious the soup in the pot was.

Among them, Frost Star swallowed his saliva most diligently.

She had tasted canned food before, and the taste...

Can't think, can't think!

The more she thought about it, the more her saliva started to flow out from the corners of her mouth.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Miao finally unfolded the mask on his helmet, scooped out a little from it with a spoon and put it to his lips to taste it.

Not salty or bland, it tastes great.

"Why are you staring at me? Why don't you come over and drink your soup while it's hot?"

Yelena was still pretending to be reserved and refused.

"This... this is so embarrassing. We have food to eat. You don't have to worry about us."

It would be more convincing if you wiped that drop of saliva from the corner of your mouth and moved your eyes away.

"If you don't eat it, I'll pour it out."

Zhang Miao is different from them. When he was squatting in the snow, he would eat some biscuits and nuts when he had nothing to do. Now he is not hungry at all. Even if he doesn't eat anything, he will not feel weak within two days.

Besides, I have eaten all kinds of delicious food, so how could I be tempted by a can of food like them?

"Well, wasting food is shameful. Since you ask us to do so, we can only obey."

Before he could finish his words, the pot was surrounded by a huge crowd, and these people were inhaling the fragrance crazily, not wanting to waste even a bit of it.

As a result, Yelena herself didn't squeeze in.

"Hey! You are so rude, let me in!"

She used her authority as captain and eldest sister at the most critical moment.

The snow monsters made way for her one after another, and Yelena walked to the cooking pot like a queen, surrounded by everyone.

He stared at the piece of meat tumbling inside and swallowed.

Chapter 6: Going home

Yelena accurately picked up a piece of meat with a sharpened wooden stick, gently blew away the heat on it with her mouth, and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully.

“No!”

It was completely different from the little bit of gravy I just licked.

When you take a bite, the meat is chewy, tender and tender. The sauce and spices have been marinated into the innermost layer. The finely chopped nuts in the compressed biscuits give it a layered taste and creamy aroma.

This is even better than Alina's soup.

Oh my God, how could I let her eat such delicious food? What if she can’t eat it anymore in the future!

She looked at the remaining meat and soup in the pot reluctantly, but as the eldest sister, she couldn't eat alone.

"Everyone, get in line at the back!"

After all, there was only a can and a compressed biscuit in the pot. If we let them scoop them out, no one would be able to eat them.

She took out her dagger, used the lid of the pot as a chopping board, took out the meat, chopped it up finely, and put it back into the pot.

Then they used a spoon to pour a spoonful of soup on the noodles in each person's hand. Some people also brought small bowls and dipped the noodles in the bowls to eat.

In the end, he either sucked his fingers or licked the bottom of his bowl, not wanting to leave even a drop.

Although there wasn't much food, everyone felt full.

That's for sure. The calories in these foods are set according to the physique of the imperial people. Zhang Miao consumes at least twice as many calories a day as them. One piece of compressed biscuit can last him two days.

It can be seen that their food shortage has reached a very serious level, otherwise the elites who came out on missions would not be starving.

But the more this happens, the more beneficial it is for Zhang Miao, as it means he can exchange less food for more source stones.

Yelena's face was red, and it was unclear whether it was because of the heat or because she felt embarrassed by her subordinates' poor performance.

She took out the source stone from her arms and asked Zhang Miao a little embarrassedly:

"Do you still have that can?"

But suddenly he argued

"I'm not going to eat it. I want to take it back to the people in the village. I can exchange it for this source stone."

Zhang Miao took the source stone and took it back for analysis.

He is also a person who can't stop talking. In the space around his waist, there is a magazine and various foods.

After all, this is the only fun you can have on this frozen land.

Moreover, he was very fond of the girl's performance just now, so he just regarded it as a favor.

He took out food of various sizes from his belt, including a can, two compressed biscuits, two nut bars and some candies.

Seeing Yelena stunned, people who didn’t know her would think that you were out traveling. Who would bring so much food when going out on a mission?

After taking the other party's Originium and piling a bag of food directly into Yelena's arms, Zhang Miao closed his mask again.

"Then come here. When you have the Originium ready, leave a note here to let me know."

It is impossible for Yelena to take Zhang Miao back to the base, and it is also impossible for Zhang Miao to take Yelena back to his colony ship. It is a good choice to set the meeting point here.

Yelena obviously understood this, nodded and said to Zhang Miao

"Thank you."

The other party treated them all to a delicious meal of meat soup. Although it was nothing to him, it was a rare delicacy for them.

Zhang Miao waved his hand, put away the clean pot, picked up the cable and motor and hung them around his waist. He extinguished the fire with his foot and left.

Zhang Miao walked away and looked at his biological radar. As expected, the other party did not catch up with him. It seemed that Yelena's character was still trustworthy.

It's a pity that he himself has a bad character.

He taped a tiny tracker to the underside of the can.

If the other party doesn't play any outrageous tricks like running thousands of miles, then I should be able to find their base quickly.

However, this is just a backup plan just in case, it doesn't mean that he really wants to follow and steal the Originium or something.

He is not a hero in an RPG game who rushes into someone else's house, rummages through everything, and then walks away.

Yelena watched Zhang Miao's figure gradually disappear from her sight. She looked at the food in her hand and muttered something.

"What a mysterious guy."

Then he turned around and shouted to the snow monsters who had already packed up their equipment.

"Destroy all traces here, and then take the things back to the village."

In fact, even if they did nothing, the cold wind and snow of the tundra would quickly wipe out their traces, but just in case, the yetis skillfully destroyed their footprints and fires.

A group of guys wrapped in white robes were rushing on the snow towards the direction where the sun was moving.

……

The towering mountains stand on this land, as if they have never changed.

They are the oldest things in the world, and every inch of land is filled with stories.

Zhang Miao climbed up a cliff and moved a few stones. A cave entrance more than three meters high suddenly appeared on the cliff.

This was the hole he cut using the laser beam from his ore cutter, and he blocked it with stones to prevent it from being discovered.

It has been more than ten thousand years. The forced landing of the colony ship on the surface should have left a long mark, but this was completely wiped out by the planet in ten thousand years.

Even the colony ship itself was buried in the mountain.

The world has changed a lot. Maybe this place was still a tropical place when he fell.

The entire cave was more than ten meters deep, and it took him several hours to dig it out.

Fortunately, this is frozen soil, so even if I make such a big noise, I don’t have to worry about landslides or water flooding.

Walk to a metal door, put your hand on the panel, and face the miniature camera on the door frame. If you don't look carefully, most people will not be able to find where the camera is.

After fingerprint, face and pupil triple recognition

跐～～

The airtight hatch opens.

After Zhang Miao walked in, as the hatch behind him closed, he took off his helmet completely and hung it in the closet in the maintenance room next to him.
