Chapter 318: Shock, Curiosity
Soon, Li Tianyu stepped out of the car and scanned the area, noticing the anti-radiation metal walls coated with anti-radiation paint.
Shi Xuan parked his bicycle and said, "Captain Li, before we proceed, we need to go through a disinfection and purification process."
Li Tianyu nodded, "Understood."
After informing him, Shi Xuan pressed a few buttons on the control panel built inside the wall. A second later, white mist sprayed out, and a red light on the ceiling blinked before turning green. Once the process was complete, Shi Xuan pressed another button to open the wall.
He then stepped into a long corridor and said, "This way, please."
As they followed him, one of the soldiers whispered, "Captain, the technology here is more advanced than what we have at the base."
Another soldier agreed and said in a low voice, "The owner must have invested a lot of money to build this place."
The soldier driving the car added, "Did you notice how massive this place is? I think it could easily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. What's even more shocking is that this place seems to be built inside a mountain."
The first soldier slowed his pace and said, "I heard that only a few people live here. They must be living quite well."
As they speculated about the facility's size and capacity, they walked out of the long white corridor. When they stepped into the spacious main hall with its high ceiling, the soldiers gaped in astonishment.
Shi Xuan, accustomed to such reactions, smiled and said, "You all must be hungry. We have prepared breakfast in the dining area. How about we head there first?"
Before Li Tianyu could refuse the offer, the three soldiers enthusiastically replied, "Yes!"
Smiling, Shi Xuan said, "This way, please."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As they followed him, Li Tianyu glared at his men but said nothing. He knew that they hadn't eaten since yesterday and were famished, so he could only be shameless and accept the invitation.
When they arrived at the dining room, Li Tianyu and the soldiers were again stunned by the abundance of food on display. Fresh fruits were placed on the long table, ice cream filled the freezer, and cold drinks and soups were stored in the refrigerator.
One soldier, unable to believe his eyes, pinched his comrade's arm.
"Ouch!" The pinched soldier rubbed his arm and asked in a low voice, "What's your problem?"
The first soldier stared at him and asked in a daze, "Did it hurt?"
The pinched soldier rolled his eyes and asked back, "How about I pinch you back, and you can find out for yourself?"
While the two bickered, Shi Xuan led the group to the food counter and said, "I need to inform my captain of your arrival, so please enjoy your meal first."
Li Tianyu nodded, "Thank you."
As Shi Xuan left, Li Tianyu gazed at the hot food in front of him and swallowed hard. Just as he hesitated, Mother Han entered the room through the connecting corridor carrying a pot of mushroom porridge.
Surprised to see four strangers there, she quickly composed herself. Since they were inside the shelter, she assumed they were guests of Long Yu or Yao Ran. Smiling politely at the four of them, she placed the pot on the food counter to keep it warm.
"Sir, do you need any help?" she asked politely.
Came back to his senses, Li Tianyu asked, "Can we choose what to eat?"
Mother Han blinked in confusion but answered, "Of course."
Li Tianyu's eyes widened in surprise and asked again, "How much food can we take per person?"
When Yao Ran revealed her spatial abilities and that she had hoarded a lot of food, the quality of the food in the shelter also improved greatly. Now, they can eat fresh meat, seafood, fruits, and more. In addition to Yao Ran's supply, they now also produce their own food, so there is no longer a limit to food here.
Mother Han seemed to realize something when he heard Li Tianyu's question, and her expression softened.
She picked up a tray and asked, "What would you like to eat? We have mushroom porridge today. Would you like to try it?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Tianyu nodded, "Yes, please."
Mother Han filled a bowl of porridge and placed it on the tray. She then added three scallion pancakes, three meat buns, two fried dough sticks, a plate of vegetable and fruit salad, and a cup of hot soy milk.
Handing him the tray filled with food, she said, "You can always get more if you are still hungry. We have no limit here on how much one person can eat. You can also get ice cream, fruits, and cold and hot drinks there."
Turning to the three soldiers, she asked, "Do you need help as well?"
The three soldiers quickly shook their heads and replied, "We can help ourselves."
Mother Han smiled, "I will be in the kitchen if you need anything."
With that, she left through the connecting corridor.
After the door closed behind her, Li Tianyu turned to the soldiers and said, "Get your food and eat first."
The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they eagerly responded, "Yes, Captain!"
While they enjoyed their meal, Shi Xuan found Long Yu and Yao Ran in the control room.
Entering, he said, "Captain, I have escorted Captain Li and his team to the dining room. They
should be eating now."
Long Yu nodded, "Alright."
Seeing him watching last night's surveillance footage, Shi Xuan asked, "Would you like to meet him now?"
"No rush. Let them finish their meal first," Long Yu replied calmly.
After reviewing the footage for the third time, Long Yu stood up and said, "Let's go."
Leaving the control room, the three of them headed to the dining room. Upon arrival, they found Li Tianyu and his team helping Mother Han wash the dishes.
Yao Ran raised an eyebrow at Long Yu and asked, "A Yu, do you guys train for household chores in the army?"
