133: Isn’t it just a black box operation? I’m very familiar with it!

While everyone was happily enjoying their break, a series of thunderstorms occasionally rumbled above the base, making quite a racket.

It lasted for about half an hour before stopping.

Tang Gao calmly sat at the dining table, eating the base's set meal, and couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic: "The set meal at Green City Base really tastes different from the one at our hometown base. I still prefer the one from back home; the flavor suits me better."

Liu Ren tapped his plate with a spoon, his face full of grievance: "Yeah, why does the food from back home taste better, even though the ingredients are the same?"

Liu Yi complained: "It's because the water quality back home is hard, and the water here is soft. We're used to that chewy texture in noodles and hard water, so it feels soft and mushy here... Scientifically speaking, it's healthier here in Green City."

Xu Ling'er burst into tears: "I also think the food from home tastes better, boo hoo hoo, I miss my mom..."

As Xu Ling'er cried, it directly stirred up the already aggrieved feelings of the girls around her, and suddenly many girls started crying.

This was the first time many of these girls had been away from home for so long.

Some boys also started crying, beginning to miss home too.

Li Yuan also started thinking of his mom, but remembering that his mom wouldn't be born for several more months, his tears were sucked back before they could even fall.

Tang Gao was speechless for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed his mother's number.

"Beep beep... Oh, my dear son, do you miss your mom?"

Tang Gao gave a thumbs-up, his smile bright: "Hey, just calling to let you know I'm safe. I've arrived at the military base for training."

"Mwah~ My precious son is the best! Work hard, and come back early when you have a holiday. Mom will make you cold noodles!"

Tang Gao grinned from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, Mom, I'm going to hang up now, it's a bit noisy here."

"Ah, alright, you rascal, you don't even talk to your mom for a bit longer. Mom misses you too... Alright, alright, hang up, hang up, son, you're busy."

Tang Gao put away his phone and looked at the group of silly birds: "I don't understand. They didn't confiscate your phones this time, so why aren't you calling home?"

In Liang City, phones were confiscated because it was a military stronghold.

Here, there's an Eight-Order Great Power in charge, and they didn't confiscate them, so what kind of nonsense are you pulling?

Xu Ling'er tearfully took out her phone and called home, pouring out her feelings about not being able to eat her family's cooking.

Liu Ren took a couple of bites, pushed his plate away, and lay on the table, curiously asking: "Brother Tang, I've never seen you cry."

Liu Yi also nodded: "Yes, I haven't either. Brother Tang always seems so strong."

Tang Gao smiled but didn't speak.

Just kidding, you just haven't seen it.

After rescuing Li Yuan that time, I called my mom and cried like a dog on the spot.

Before, I always thought about repaying my family after I became strong, or after I had money.

But after experiencing life and death separations,

I realized.

Love, it's best not to wait.

If you miss your parents, just give them a call.

How sad would it be to stand before a grave after a life and death separation?

"Alright, alright, eat well and drink well. Who knows what other shenanigans might happen this afternoon."

Liu Ren sighed and had no choice but to pull his plate back and continue eating, instinctively scooping a spoonful of rice: "General Feng, help me share... Hey, hey, hey!!! Where's General Feng!!!"

Liu Yi froze, his face panicked: "Brother, wasn't General Feng with you?!"

Liu Ren was dumbfounded: "Wasn't he with you? I was Cultivating! How would I know!"

Xu Ling'er stopped crying, quickly said goodbye to her parents and hung up the phone, wiping her nose with a tissue: "That's not right, wasn't General Feng with Brother Tang?"

Li Yuan complained: "So we all just assumed General Feng was with someone else?"

Tang Gao was dumbfounded and quickly used a command to summon the teacher.

Li Nezha reappeared at a nearby dining table, hearing the sounds of crying, and sighed helplessly: "What's wrong? Don't tell me you miss your mom. Should I send you home for dinner tonight?"

"No, Teacher, General Feng is missing."

Li Nezha froze: "Isn't General Feng with Liu Ren?"

Li Nezha suddenly felt a bad premonition, quickly tried to recall, and then remembered something, his mouth twitching: "Wait a minute, could it be that all of us got off the ship and forgot to call General Feng?"

At that time, General Feng was sleeping soundly on the ship.

The atmosphere slightly solidified.

Liu Ren silently stuffed the rice from his spoon into his mouth: "It seems that's the case..."

Li Nezha rubbed his forehead speechlessly: "I'll go pick him up. You brats, you didn't even check if General Feng was missing when you got off the ship."

Li Nezha's figure vanished from the spot, and in less than ten seconds, reappeared, with General Feng in his arms.

General Feng jumped down, glaring angrily at everyone present!

Everyone! Everyone!! Everyone!!! Got off the ship!!!

Not a single person!!!!

Not a single person!!!! Called me to get off the ship!!!!

Tang Gao silently looked at his plate: "This food is really delicious."

Xu Ling'er covered her mouth and turned her head: "Yes, it's delicious."

Li Yuan quietly turned his back, trying his best to pretend he didn't exist.

Liu Ren gave a dry laugh, a piece of meat clamped between his chopsticks: "It's mealtime, General Feng, want a bite?"

Liu Yi rubbed his forehead: "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time, General Feng. I didn't expect my brother to be so unreliable."

Liu Ren looked wronged: "General Feng has always been the reliable one, I just forgot he was sleeping... Cough cough, my bad, my bad."

General Feng bared his teeth, but ultimately chose to forgive them, taking a bite of the braised pork.

It was also his fault; when he was sleeping, he didn't expect the spaceship to stop midway.

Sigh, taking care of these kids is truly exhausting. One moment of inattention, and everyone's gone.

The meal was a mess, and then everyone was arranged into dormitories.

After resting for a while, at 2:30 PM, everyone was called to assemble on the training ground.

Looking at the familiar water-element Spell in the sky, Tang Gao's mouth twitched.

Liu Ren was dumbfounded: "No way, are we going to fight again?"

Liu Yi sighed helplessly: "Can't they try a different routine? Why is it always fighting? Don't these people have anything new?"

Li Nezha complained: "Don't worry, the tricks will definitely be different. This time it's faction combat, divided into two factions."

Tang Gao looked in shock at Li Nezha standing beside him: "Teacher, why are you in the freshman team!?"

Li Nezha shook the water bottle in his hand, his desire to complain at its peak: "Next time, I'll stick my teacher's ID on my forehead. I'm really fed up with these unobservant soldiers!"

Freshman my foot! Isn't it just that I'm a bit young?!

Tang Gao laughed to death: "Teacher, come to our faction!"

"Look on the bright side, it's random assignment, unless you can hack their base computer."

Li Nezha complained.

Tang Gao blinked: "They're using electronic devices to divide?"

Li Nezha shrugged: "Yes, unless you're a mechanical expert, you can't interfere with this."

Tang Gao leaned back strategically: "Electronic devices... I'm familiar with this..."

Isn't it just black-box operation?

I'm too familiar with it.
