Chapter 140 New Guest Arrival
Around 3 p.m., the young soldiers who had been caring for the patients gradually woke up. They already slept very little when they were on missions.
They were preoccupied with their own thoughts, worrying about their brothers who were still unconscious, so naturally they were light sleepers. After only two or three hours, they got up on their own without being woken.
After getting up, Lei Jun called them to go eat, but they shook their heads and went to the ward area immediately. To their surprise, the other patients in the ward had woken up before them and were already eating their meals with great gusto.
If it weren't for the bandages, they wouldn't look like they'd been seriously injured at all. Seeing their spirits so high, the others smiled from the bottom of their hearts, and couldn't help but feel their stomachs growling.
"Boss~ Is there any more food?! I feel like I need to eat three, no, five big bowls of rice!"
"Get out of here! We've already eaten all your food, what are we going to eat? Boss, I want five big bowls of rice too!"
The group, looking relaxed, started joking and chatting as they went to eat.
After finishing their meal, they started organizing supplies: instant noodles, dried vegetable packs, self-heating hot pot, rice, cured meat, military-grade compressed biscuits, chocolate, cured meat, sausages, iodized salt, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, chili sauce, broad bean paste, and hot pot base.
Yufei was both touched and amused by how afraid their leaders were of them starving. These were the people of Great Xia, whose entire lives were spent striving for a single meal!
They carefully inventoried everything and put it into their dimensional pockets. Then came the medicines; there weren't many kinds: anti-inflammatory drugs, medical alcohol, penicillin, bandages, and hemostatic agents—emergency battlefield medications. The rest… they also prepared several boxes of Banlangen (Isatis root).
It seems these medicines are enough; medicines don't take up a large proportion of the dimensional pocket.
Next came the boxes of tea, silk, and gold, and finally the weapons—submachine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, and even a few small missiles.
Sure enough, the Great Xia still seemed to have a fear of insufficient firepower. They had prepared quite a lot of gunpowder, but it wasn't very useful. Several of the men who had experienced yesterday's battle realized this and simultaneously placed flashbangs at the front.
To ensure they get it the fastest, this guy is practically an atomic bomb in this other world.
As they were cleaning, they found four bottles of Moutai in their sleeping bags when they were almost done. Who was so bold as to put them there?
Lei Jun frowned as he thought of the world's wine that Kukoc had treated them to yesterday. He decided to ignore which good wine connoisseur had secretly hidden it and confiscate it if he found it—it might come in very handy!
They filled the dimensional pocket to the brim, leaving some supplies outside. In fact, when the Great Xia Logistics Department prepared supplies for them, they had precisely calculated the weight of the group and the vehicle, and then prepared the necessary supplies.
The truck weighed approximately two tons, and together with the weapons they used last night, the five tons of supplies stored in the dimensional pocket...
There was another ton of supplies outside their vehicle, which was less noticeable compared to the massive amount of supplies they had previously carried.
Those who were uninjured carried the injured into the trunk, and once they were seated, they set off back to Dawn Base.
They arrived at the gate of the Dawn Base close to 5 a.m. and hurriedly entered the city just before closing time.
The gates of Dawn Base aren't open 24 hours a day. Lei Jun guessed it was because of the monster they encountered the night before. Dawn Base has a strict closing time: the gates close promptly at 5 PM, and anyone wanting to enter after that time has to wait until dawn the next day.
In other words, if the people at the base can't return in time, they'll have to spend the night in the wilderness. Therefore, unless they've made thorough preparations, spending the night in the wilderness is extremely dangerous.
This time, Yufei and her group entered the Dawn Base thanks to Kukochi again. Yesterday, Kukochi was chatting with Qi Huang when Qi Huang mentioned he was going out of the base to pick someone up, so he gave him one of those crystal cores that he had seen Kukochi give to the base's duty officer at the base gate last time.
He told Qi Huang and his group that if they wanted to re-enter the city after leaving, they either had to give him the crystal cores or hand over half of their supplies. Handing over supplies was out of the question, so they accepted Kukochi's favor and gave him the crystal cores to the gatekeeper.
When Lei Jun and his group of friends arrived at the house they had rented the night before, Kukoc was already waiting in front of their villa. Standing next to him was a man wearing flip-flops, a tank top, and beach shorts, with a full beard.
"Brother Lei! Brother Qi! Yufei, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Kukoc greeted the three of them warmly, while curiously watching the others carefully unloading the wounded, though he didn't ask any further questions.
Although Lei Jun only spent half a day with Kukoc yesterday, they acted like old friends who had known each other for many years. Seeing Kukoc arrive, Lei Jun relaxed a little and greeted him with a smile.
They asked if he had eaten lunch, as Kukoc had treated them yesterday, although the food and drinks were... indescribable. But judging from Kukoc's behavior, it was clear he had taken them to the best place in town.
Well, if Kukochi hasn't eaten today, he'll treat him to the delicious food of their Great Xia. If he has eaten, then I'm sorry, he can't enjoy it today and will have to treat him another day.
Kukoc's years of hard work and struggle haven't been for nothing! Even if you've eaten, you should say you haven't. Kukoc has always believed that the dinner table is where relationships are truly strengthened.
If someone else in the base asked him if he had eaten, he might have to think about it. After all, he knew the nature of those people in the base; it was probably just polite talk.
After all, most people are very careful with their food, but when these people from the legendary land asked this question, Kukoc knew for some reason that they genuinely cared whether you had eaten.
If you haven't eaten, they'll definitely treat you to a meal, so Kukoc jokingly said he wanted to freeload! At the same time, he introduced Lei Jun and the others to the rugged-looking, wild-behaved man next to him.
This man is actually Kukochifei's father? I can't believe it! Beneath that rugged beard, Yufei felt there was an incredibly young face. Yufei looked at Kukochifei's father with curiosity.
The stare made the middle-aged man blush for the first time ever, though it was imperceptible from his full beard.
If you looked closely, you could see the faint redness under his ears. He coughed awkwardly and turned to help unload the goods, or perhaps to look at the person preparing to cook on the other side.
He just couldn't stay in front of that girl; her gaze was terrifying, it even made him, the shepherd, lose his composure.
Before long, they loaded the supplies from the vehicle into the warehouse, arranged the kitchen utensils, and lit a fire. Immediately afterward, an extremely strong aroma wafted out from the kitchen.
Kukoc and his father rushed to the kitchen doorway, breathing in the surrounding air with rapt attention, their faces filled with rapture.
