Chapter 10: little man (catch bugs)
Everyone's eyes came over, and their throats rolled along. If it wasn't for Auston's identity, they would definitely rush over to grab a bite, so that those who saw it would have a share.
That bowl of soaked rice was very tempting just because of its appearance. The omelette lying on it was still soft. As long as the chopsticks were gently poked, the golden egg liquid slowly flowed out. Paofan looks like a fried egg and a few slices of dehydrated beef. There is no oily surface on the surface. It looks very dull, but the fragrance wafting out is like chicken soup. It always makes people feel that there is still a full meat buried under the rice. Big drumsticks.
Derrick glared at his teammates and asked them to look away, not to be embarrassed in front of the general, as if the ship's restaurant mistreated their three meals a day.
"Lion's recipes seem more delicious." Harriet swallowed and looked at Ryan more eagerly. "Eugene, if Ryan is not married, I will definitely pursue him."
"I can learn to cook."
Harriet looked at Jimmy Ray, and the second-stage soldier Jimmy Ray, who only dared to talk, gradually blushed in Harriet's playful eyes, and said in a rough voice, "I'm much better than Ryan, I'm better than Ryan. He's tall and powerful, more masculine than he looks."
"More men?" Harriet looked critically at Jimmy Ray.
Jimmy Ray raised his chin, pointed to the cyan beard stubble on it and said, "Man, this is what a man tastes like. Lane doesn't have a single beard on his chin, what is it, a man should have a beard, like Big Brother Eugene."
Eugene touched his chin and was very satisfied with his beard. In order to maintain his beard, he put a lot of effort into maintaining his beard, which was even more troublesome than women taking care of long hair.
Harriet snorted, touched her chin and looked at Ryan who was not far away, "A warm man is what a woman needs."
"Harriet." Eugene called out speechlessly.
Harriet responded, "Huh?"
"I remember you said that your gene sequence is Y, and you are a pure man like us."
"So, a wild, conquering love." Harriet smiled meaningfully, "I conquered him."
"..." Jimmy Lei moved to the side, intuitively telling him that Harriet at this moment was very dangerous.
Blair looked at Auston, or rather the soup in Auston's hands, with pitiful anticipation in his eyes.
"Just one bite, just one bite, and taste it." Blair stretched out his finger and poked Auston's arm, "Just taste it, he often cooks it for you anyway, so I'll eat it once in a while."
"Don't you have it?" Auston looked at Blair helplessly, there was really no way to get this friend.
"It's different, the one you have in your hand looks more delicious."
Ryan watched the interaction between the two of them. He thought Auston would share the rice, but heard Auston say, "No, Blair can't, it's mine."
Blair twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's completely different from what I thought, what I asked for in the past, you will give."
"This one is different."
Blair smiled, unfolded his white coat and sat down next to Auston, "That's how it should be, it's my own that never let anyone else get in the way." The voice heard said: "Little men are very popular."
Ryan didn't hear it, and he was delighted by Auston's reaction.
After the short break, the team continued to move forward. The codename Zero did not follow along. As the coach, Auston had already given himself extra grace by following him for one morning.
The next itinerary was a near miss, and Ryan relied on his sensitive sense of food and planting to discover many edible things.
There are many ugly knots on the tall trees. By prying off the bark outside these knots, you can pick the chestnut-like fruit. After opening it with a laser, the pulp inside is floury. Lane pinched it. A little bit of determination can be made into various flour products like flour.
There are stick-shaped rhizomes with arm lengths under the palm-high grass, and when broken, they have a sugarcane-like texture and a sweet taste.
When the huge leaf floating in the water is lifted, the bottom of the leaf is full of fruit pods the size of fists. After opening, it has small pulp like pomegranate grains. After squeezing it open, the slightly sour smell makes everyone smell it. Direct current, like eating ten appetizing small pickled cucumbers, very much need a large bowl of white rice to relieve the hunger in the belly.
...
...
With all these, along the way, Ryan discovered many plants and animals that can be eaten and used. When it comes to animals, I have to mention the worm pupae hanging on the branches, which are ugly, with a layer of mold-like green hair and a disgusting sour odor.
After Harriet put on the mask, she took a pair of tweezers and placed it in the sampling bag.
However, Ryan found something special. After opening it deliberately, it revealed the tender white worm meat inside. It was very rich in protein at first glance.
If they were put into the sampling bag as a simple specimen, they would definitely miss the integration point.
Lane is the mobile scanner that finds the food, and there's almost nothing to escape his eyes.
It took a day longer than expected for Derrick's team to return to the gathering place. They were the last team to return and had already made everyone wait for twelve hours.
Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy frowned tightly, "Major Derrick Hall, what did you encounter took so much time, several hours later than the normal gathering time."
Derrick Hall saluted and replied, "Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, we have gained too much along the way and delayed the time. It is our fault that we did not follow the discipline. But we have found many valuable animals and plants, one of which is hidden underground. It took us three hours to unearth this item at a depth of ten meters." In other words, if they hadn't discovered this item at the end, they would have been able to return to the gathering place at the last time without breaking the rules. .
Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy's eyes swept around the faces of everyone in Derrick's team, and suddenly found that the dispensable logistics soldier stood in the middle of the team, very prominent, and the other team members did not express dissatisfaction.
"What is it?"
"General!" Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy responded first, standing at attention and salute.
All have: "General!"
Code Zero landed, Auston fell from the mecha to the ground after a few vertical jumps, and slowly approached Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy. With a friendly smile, he looked at the tall thing behind Derrick's team, " You have brought so many things, and you have gained a lot, which is very good."
Derrick and others were excited. As the captain, Derrick said: "This is what we should do. Sergeant Ryan Smith helped a lot during this exploration process, and the last thing was discovered by Sergeant."
Derrick is really a good person, and he doesn't take credit.
Ryan came out, "It's everyone's credit, I can't find that much by myself."
"It's all good." Auston encouraged everyone and raised the corner of his mouth at Ryan, a smile that only his angle could see.
Ryan clenched his fists happily and said loudly: "General, U167 contains huge energy, I suggest not to sell it on the market, but to develop it independently." This is not a special case, but there are many precedents, the entire Eastern Region of the Empire , Where the Golden Crusaders patrol, there are no less than ten planets independently developed by the Legion, and without exception, they are not places where a large number of minerals are stored, and a large number of precious animals and plants are stored.
Lane's words attracted the attention of those who didn't know. If it wasn't for discipline, he would have been whispering.
Auston raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not get a positive answer after asking, and no one took the initiative to lift the canvas covering the pile of things. "It's time for all the exploration ground operations teams to gather on the ship. Bring the things to the ship and hand them over to Dr. Blair."
"Yes." Ryan, Derrick and others saluted.
When everyone got on the ship at a young age, someone curiously asked Ryan what they brought and why it could improve the U167's grade. Ryan smiled and didn't say anything. He looked very gentle, but he wasn't a fool. He would not say anything about the financial affairs of the Legion without the approval of the leader.
After boarding the ship, Ryan and Derrick used a handling robot to carry the discovered objects to Dr. Blair. Oston and Blair had been waiting in the laboratory for a few minutes.
"Major, Sergeant, don't be so nervous, just relax." Blair, wearing a white coat, stood in front of the huge training cabin. There were many internal organs floating in the training cabin, and they were moving bulging like jellyfish.
Derrick and Ryan, who have experienced wars and fought **** battles with Zerg, can easily recognize that those internal organs belong to Zerg...
There are also many cultivation cabins around, including whole male Zerg, human heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, and half a man. The reason why it is half is because it was cut vertically from the middle, and only half of it has been preserved.
Ryan knew the man, the leader of the pirates who had been rampant for a while and caused disaster on the frontier. Now that Ryan knows, half the body is left...
In such an environment, being able to calm down is really a manifestation of strong psychological quality.
Derrick quickly talked about the discovery process and the role of the plants that were excavated. After reporting, he looked at the ground and waited for the officer to release him.
"Since it was Ryan who discovered it, let Ryan stay, Lieutenant Colonel Derrick, you can leave." Blair put his hands in his pockets, glanced at Auston teasingly, and said the above.
Derrick felt amnesty, stood at attention with his heels close together, saluted and stepped back, giving Ryan a self-sufficient look: I'm sorry, brother, he couldn't bear it and retreated first.
When the hatch of the laboratory was closed, Blair immediately showed his prototype, revealing his "tail", and tore off the white cloth on the table, "Come on, the little man in Auston, make us something to eat."
Ryan almost choked on his own saliva. What a nice man in Auston, why should he be smaller!
