The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (101)

After confirming with them, Liao Xin took the two roasted potatoes that Song Ning had given him and went back to report.

As soon as I got there, I saw his sister returning from outside looking dashing, with a dark red scarf around her neck.

He gave it to her the day before yesterday. He had earned a lot of money from recruiting people at the base, but he was all alone and spent most of his time in the lab, so he ended up asking Sister Jin to get a scarf for his sister.

"You're back? What's that you're holding?"

As Captain Man turned his head, the tassel on one corner of his scarf curled up slightly, making it look particularly vibrant against the backdrop of pure white snow and gray as the main base.

He felt satisfied that he had spent the money well.

"Here's a roasted potato for you."

Liao Xin handed over the larger roasted potato, while keeping the smaller one in his hand.

"Where did these roasted potatoes come from? They're still warm. Didn't you volunteer to go find Xiao Song? Did he give them to you?"

The roasted potato in her palm wasn't small; it was about the size of her hand. Even after roasting, it was still heavy in her hand, warm and steaming.

She never expected her younger brother to be so popular. She didn't bother peeling the potato and took a bite directly from the still slightly gray potato peel.

"Wow, this is pretty good. It's baked quite well and has a bit of saltiness."

Her eyes lit up after taking a bite. After eating so much communal food at the base, it was really nice to have some of this special homemade food.

"Right? I didn't originally want it, but it smelled so good that I shamelessly accepted it. Sis, it's good that you're back. Could you help me with a report later, and also ask Mr. Song and his team for some extra benefits? I think they're really nice people."

Liao Xin unceremoniously asked his older sister to take a bite as well.

His eyes lit up too; they were almost identical to Captain Man from before, clearly siblings.

"They agreed? Okay, I'll go talk to them over there. It's cold outside, you should go back and get back to what you're doing. I'll come over after I finish this."

"Well, don't rush too much. Have some hot water before you go. Don't always be so busy that you forget to rest your body."

"I know, don't worry, your sister is going to protect you for a hundred years."

The two parted ways, and Captain Man actually listened to him and went to the cafeteria to get a hot drink.

When the cafeteria staff saw it was her, they happily handed her a cup of soy milk.

"Captain Man, you're back! Just in time! Come and try this, freshly made, hot soy milk."

"They have this now?"

Captain Man was a little surprised. Even without looking down, she could smell the rich aroma of beans coming from the cup. She couldn't help but lower her head and take a big sip.

The aroma of the beans was so strong it was almost sticky. The aroma of beans filled her throat as she drank it down. The beans were ground very finely, and she didn't waste any of the bean dregs at the bottom. She just tilted her head back and ate and drank it all with the potatoes.

"How does it taste?"

The cafeteria lady asked her with a smile.

"It's pretty good. It feels quite substantial in my stomach after drinking it, and it helps to fill me up a bit."

As soon as Captain Man spoke, the eldest sister couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.

"You, I asked you how it tasted, and you told me it was filling. We're not living those hard times anymore. It's definitely not a problem to make sure everyone has enough to eat and drink."

"We were also lucky, thanks to everyone's cooperation and hard work."

Just as Captain Man was about to leave, the older sister called her back.

"Hey, don't rush off yet. There's something I want to ask you. I heard that we've set up several experimental plots over there, ready for others to cultivate. Is that true? Can anyone cultivate them, or what's the procedure? I'm thinking that I still have a lot of time after get off work every day. Do you think I could handle it?"

She's quite well-informed, Captain Man thought.

She shook her head. "It's not certain yet. We'll have to wait for a meeting at higher levels to discuss the specific arrangements before we know. I can't say for sure right now."

The cafeteria lady was a little disappointed: "Oh, I see. Well, those plots of land look quite large, so we have to be careful."

She was hoping to get some information from Captain Man first, but she didn't expect she would have to wait.

"Just pay attention to the announcements posted at the base. If there are any arrangements, they will definitely be posted and publicized first. Oh, and remember to vote in that poll when you have time."

"Okay, I'll definitely vote for the one I can't forget."

"Ah That's good."

Leaving the clean and bright cafeteria, Captain Man quickened her pace. She had a lot to do, and this was just a rare moment of leisure.

"Oh, you're back. You're back just in time. There's something I need to give you."

As soon as she appeared inside the base, a leader waved to her.

Captain Man took off his scarf and loosened his collar.

This seemingly simple and ordinary five-story villa is where the base is responsible for handling internal affairs. Most of the original rooms from top to bottom have been opened up, with only two locked rooms on the top floor used to store important files. There are also two conference halls on the third floor, one large and one small, where most of the base's important meetings are held.

The bottom two floors have higher mobility, and you might even be grabbed by a leader and given tasks while walking around, just like now.

"Let me take care of some other things first. I have two tasks to report."

Captain Man remained calm, and the other party nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, then you go ahead and get busy. This matter isn't too urgent. I'll have Wang Chen handle it."

"You can arrange it as you see fit."

She walked uphill and soon arrived at the door of an office on the top floor.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Come in, are you Xiaoman?"

"It's me, boss."

Captain Man pushed the door open and entered, then casually closed it behind him.

The temperature in this room was a bit higher than downstairs. A device, noticeably larger than the small crystal core sun that the base had replaced, was placed in the room, continuously radiating heat. Behind the table, an old woman wearing reading glasses put down the report she was holding.

"You're back. Did you find out what those guys were all about?"

Captain Man nodded, put down her scarf, and began to recount her discovery.

It turns out that she had made a special trip these past few days to find out the background of the group of guys they had captured.

“That guy called Lao Qi isn’t very honest. When we got there, we found that there were indeed signs of life there, just as he said, but judging from the signs, there were no more than ten people.”

“We searched the area thoroughly and finally determined that it was definitely not their old stronghold, but rather territory that they had previously occupied. The survivors there must have all been killed by them.”
