Chapter 140 You're Jealous
DAY126
As usual, Lu Yuan went to the soilless planting experimental field of the research institute. Because of the success of apples and rice, the researchers of the Ministry of Agriculture planned to start the incubation of eggs next. Lu Yuan really couldn't help at all in this regard, so he wandered around in front of the incubator and then went to Wei Cheng and Li Minze's small laboratory.
"Boss, boss, hurry up, we've been waiting for you." As soon as Lu Yuan pushed open the door, he was greeted by Wei Cheng who came to welcome him.
Since Ji Lang and Lin Yun's team happened to be returning today, and Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai's team was still at the base, they got together for a get-together. After all, everyone had been busy for the past twenty-odd days and hadn't had a chance to meet and chat properly.
"Quick, quick, I think we could have a hot pot." Zhong Qiang practically dragged him along, but before he could get to the table that Wei Cheng and Li Minze had set up in advance on the lab bench, he stopped, sniffed slightly, and turned to Lu Yuan to ask, "You've prepared everything in advance? Where's the hot pot?"
"Is it pickled cabbage and bean hot pot or sour soup hot pot?" Wei Cheng, who was following behind Lu Yuan, sniffed the air and answered quickly. Wei Cheng was a foodie and knew a lot about the food in various cities. He was very excited when he learned that Lu Yuan and his group came from G Province, which was simply a paradise for carbohydrates.
"I haven't taken anything out yet." Although Lu Yuan registered his spatial ability at the base, Team Leader Liu had no idea what was in his space. Anyway, Lu Yuan could find out about some things, even the most obscure ones. But he didn't take out too much of the food and supplies. After all, although things had improved, he still needed to preserve some strength for the future.
"Wait, Lu Xiaoyuan, you haven't taken off this exoskeleton for the past twenty-odd days, have you?" Pei Sihao looked at Lu Yuan, who was being pushed over. Although he had changed his coat, the exoskeleton on his head told everyone that this guy probably, maybe, possibly hadn't taken off the exoskeleton since he came back. After all, it was his life-saving exoskeleton now.
"Huh?" Lu Yuan touched his forehead, feeling the protective membrane formed by the exoskeleton mecha. "I can't take it off even a little bit, or I'll be done for."
"You're really something, you're even jealous." Yang Xiao leaned over and sniffed. "You haven't showered for over twenty days!"
"This..." Although Lu Yuan wanted to refute something, he really didn't have the courage to refute it. He had actually tried to take off the mecha on his hands when he was in the dormitory. After all, the base was now under the protection of the shield. Many other ordinary people could live normally even if they wore more clothes. But as soon as he opened it, he couldn't stand it at all. He felt that the blood flow in his arms had slowed down and there was a stinging pain. He felt that his blood was crystallizing.
He had originally planned to go to the research institute's laboratory one day to ask Gu Nanfeng if there was any way to help, but he was helping out at the Ministry of Agriculture, where there were all sorts of strange smells. Moreover, Lin Yun, who was assigned to the same dormitory as him, was not in the dormitory for a long time, so he didn't realize what was happening at all.
"You should go wash up first, otherwise we won't be able to eat." Yang Xiao pulled Lu Yuan to the washroom provided by the laboratory, which had all the basic amenities.
"No, I can't, I really will die." Although Lu Yuan followed him inside, he really didn't have the courage to take off his mecha and was still fighting desperately.
“But this can’t go on forever.” Yang Xiao wanted to push Lu Yuan under the shower and scald him with hot water, but he was afraid of damaging the only high-tech mecha.
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt like a monkey in a zoo, surrounded by a group of people in the washroom, and he even felt that these people wanted to watch him take a shower.
“In the novels I read, all the mechas have systems. Your mecha is no good. Is it a half-finished product?” Li Minze and Wei Cheng have been studying Lu Yuan’s mecha recently, wanting to mass-produce it, but after more than ten days of research, they still haven’t figured out what the materials are.
"How would I know? There are some foods in my space that I don't even recognize." When Lu Yuan has nothing to do, he always tinkers with his space. He has almost figured out how to view the description of each item, how to search, and how to retrieve and recall items in batches. However, he has absolutely no clue about this mecha.
"Xiao Yuan, why don't you check if there's anything else in the space that's the same quality as this mecha? See if you can find something that will allow you to temporarily take off this mecha?" Gu Nanfeng changed his approach. Although Lu Yuan might not have a second mecha like this, there would always be something similar that he could try. It would be better than not being able to clean it at all.
“Speaking of this…” Actually, Lu Yuan had thought about this before. Of course, through his research on space, he finally found something of the same material by searching for key materials, but that thing, “I dare not take it out.”
"What is it? It's so mysterious!" This was Wang Sanhai's first time participating in this small team's activity. After arriving at the base, he, Liu Jia, and Li Minze were assigned to a three-person dormitory. He had heard Li Minze talk about Lu Yuan's space before, since Li Minze and Wei Cheng, who stayed in the lab, would occasionally sneak off to eat with Lu Yuan, Pei Sihao, and Gu Nanfeng. So, he was very interested when Lu Yuan talked about the things in the space.
"It's alright, we've seen the armored vehicles, what else can't we show?" Zhong Qiang didn't react to the faint sour smell on Lu Yuan, after all, as a physical education student, he used to be in a similar state after exercising in class, drenched in sweat.
"That's right, hurry up, we're still hungry." Lin Yun had also ridden in Lu Yuan's armored vehicle, but he wasn't really hungry; he was just joking along.
"Look, Captain Lin has spoken, so hurry up." Pei Sihao also came over. Lin Yun was having a rare moment of relaxation during this period, and everyone gathered around to say the same thing.
“Then our small space might not be enough.” Seeing Lin Yun’s reaction, Lu Yuan stopped being coy. However, the thing he was talking about was something that couldn’t be stored in the laboratory, and it couldn’t be taken out of the base either, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
As a national base, entry and exit should be strictly registered and controlled. Fortunately, their group included Ji Lang, Lin Yun, Gu Nanfeng, and Pei Sihao. Their reason for going out was simple: to help Gu Nanfeng study the development of marine zombies. Moreover, they were away for a short time and had already formed their own team.
In fact, Pei Simin, who was in charge of the research institute, knew more or less that this group of people planned to sneak out for a big meal. However, his family had received a lot of care from Lu Yuan. Occasionally, Pei Sihao would bring some delicacies from Lu Yuan's space home so that the older generation of elders in the base could have a chance to improve their health. But who knew that Lu Yuan was probably the person with the worst physique in the world right now?
