Chapter 257 Drinking Soup
The thick soup, made with simple seasoning packets, tasted exceptionally good in this icy, snowy landscape.
Most importantly, my cold body can finally be warmed up.
Yang Tai, the bearded male team member in charge of cooking, ladled three bowls of soup and handed them to Jiang Yuwen, muttering to himself, "Take the soup in to those three young ladies!"
Jiang Yuwen accepted the order and went to deliver the soup.
"Oh dear, Captain really doesn't know how to cherish a lady. Such a pitiful young lady has been frightened like this." A team member joked with a laugh after taking a big gulp of soup.
“However… what if the captain expelled Dr. Liang from the team and she encounters danger?” The younger team member, Ning Jianming, couldn’t help but ask.
"What are you afraid of?! She's still following us around like a shadow, isn't she?" the bearded Yang Tai said nonchalantly, then revealed a lecherous look: "You little rascal, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on that chick, would you?"
"N-no, that's not it! I just think we should be gentler with girls..." Ning Jianming's young face quickly flushed red.
"Alright, alright, I know you've got your eye on that number one beauty, Dr. An, right?" Yang Tai bluntly retorted. "But save your breath. She has plenty of high-ranking military officers pursuing her. Who are you to judge her?"
"I don't..." Ning Jianming explained miserably. Being gentle to girls didn't mean he liked them!
"Enough! Since the captain has made his decision, we just need to abide by it." Yue Chengsi raised his sharp eyes and rebuked him sternly, "To question the captain is tantamount to questioning the First Legion!!"
Ning Jianming lowered his head in shame, while Yang Tai twitched his lips and said, "We were just bored and talking for fun, don't take it seriously! How could we dare to disrespect our captain?"
Yue Chengsi's expression softened. After all, they were comrades who had gone through thick and thin together. He just wanted to remind them to be careful with their words and not to talk about irrelevant things in front of the students.
Xi Yu listened to their conversation while enjoying her soup. It seemed that Yan San was highly respected in their eyes!
Come to think of it, she seems to have never seen Yan San.
"Young Master Yan...Is Captain Yan not here?" Xi Yu asked Fang Yiqing beside her.
"He seems to be observing from the edge of the pit," Fang Yiqing replied.
Xi Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At night, Xi Yu, Jiang Yuwen, and two other female team members shared a tent.
That night, after Jiang Yuwen and the others had fallen asleep, Xi Yu got up and quietly went out of the tent.
Their campsite was located above the deep pit. When Xi Yu reached the edge, she could see faint lights near the bottom of the pit.
She thought for a moment, then walked towards the light.
Yan San was operating the sophisticated instruments alone, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't receive the signal.
"Since no signal can be detected, let's try letting the drone fall and see if it can touch the bottom."
Suddenly, Xi Yu appeared behind him and spoke.
Yan San turned around and frowned slightly: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Instead of answering, Xi Yu asked, "You've been trying for so long, have you ever considered that it's not that you can't receive the signal, but that the AI can't recognize it as a signal?"
Yan San's eyes immediately lit up. The possibility that Xi Yu mentioned did exist. They were facing an unknown alien object, and it was very possible that they were unable to detect it with their current technology.
