227: Finally found the right place

Eight hours later, Niu De pointed at the large screen and excitedly shouted, "Look, there's uneven terrain now, look!"

"Does that mean we'll see the underwater mountain range soon?" Kayaski also became excited.

"Yes, we estimate we'll see the underwater mountain range in about half an hour. Quickly turn on your detection equipment now, and immediately switch your calling equipment to the dedicated channel." Niu De's solemn expression from the entire day finally relaxed.

Liu Xiaolin also jumped up happily, "Did we find the right place this time?"

"That's right, we found the right place this time," Niu De said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great. Although it was a bit winding, at least it's not too late," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Oh right, did we bring enough food?" Niu De asked.

There are over a hundred people on the great bear submarine; even providing two meals is a significant number.

"Before setting off, I prepared enough bread, ham, and canned meat for a hundred people to eat two meals," Liu Xiaolin said. "I didn't have the heart to give them the Space meals, haha, those are all for us to eat."

Looking at the dumbfounded Kayaski, he said, "What are you doing? Didn't I give you a Space meal? Do you want to eat bread, ham, and canned meat instead?"

"No, no, I was just wondering how you thought of preparing food in advance?" Kayaski was very curious.

"What's so strange about that? The troops haven't moved, but the provisions go first. Since I'm dealing with the great bear submarine, I definitely have to consider that the people on board have been missing for so long, and their food must have been consumed the fastest. So I absolutely had to bring food. Otherwise, if the submarine is found, and the people are found too, but there's nothing to give them to eat and they starve to death, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?" Liu Xiaolin rattled off a long speech.

"General Manager Liu is indeed General Manager Liu. He truly lives up to being my lucky star, to actually know to prepare a large amount of food." Kayaski was truly impressed by Liu Xiaolin.

Liu Xiaolin suddenly thought, could the food he brought be sold for a high price?

"Let me state this first, the food I prepared isn't for you to eat for free," Liu Xiaolin said, his eyes darting around.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Kayaski was confused.

"I'm here to complete the great bear search and rescue mission. Our contract didn't mention that I needed to prepare food for over a hundred people, did it? Since that's the case, shouldn't you buy the food I bought with my own money?" Liu Xiaolin said slyly.

Kayaski thought it made sense when he heard it; buying food with money was perfectly reasonable.

"No problem, we'll buy it," Kayaski immediately decided.

"Oh, you're going to pay for it? But the price is a bit high," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"The price is high? Did you spend 500,000? A million? Wouldn't it be fine just to give you back the amount you spent?" Kayaski said dismissively.

"What are you talking about? Food transported from the faraway Dragon Country to here, do you think it doesn't cost transportation fees? Doesn't cost storage fees? Doesn't cost management fees? Doesn't require charging for losses?" Liu Xiaolin used all the financial knowledge he learned from Hao Xiuhua.

"Huh? You brought it along the way and you still want transportation fees? You just put it in the back warehouse and you want storage fees? The food is just sitting there, you don't need to look after it, and you want management fees? How are there losses too?" Kayaski was dumbfounded now.

"Anyway, the stuff is mine. I'll sell it for whatever price I want. You don't have to buy it," Liu Xiaolin said through clenched teeth.

"General Manager Liu, you're being a bit unreasonable!" Kayaski said.

"Oh, I'm being unreasonable, am I? Fine then, I'll take it back and distribute it as benefits to our company's employees," Liu Xiaolin wasn't in a hurry either.

Anyway, there were over a hundred mouths in Great Bear Country waiting to eat.

At this moment, Kayaski was helpless. Of course, he didn't want to see the over a hundred people on the great bear starving.

"Then how much do you want?" Kayaski asked helplessly.

"Not much, five million will do." Liu Xiaolin, who spent 500,000 on the food, asked for five million and still said it wasn't much.

Kayaski was furious, but he had no other choice: "Alright, five million it is. I'll report to my superiors after I get back and then transfer it to you."

"Hmm, that's more like it. You're still getting a good deal. Five million for the lives of over a hundred people, how cost-effective is that?" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

Niu De listened to the two of them haggling back and forth without saying a word. Only when he knew Liu Xiaolin had succeeded did he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, General Manager Liu, General Manager Liu, you never forget to make money!"

"If I make more money, you can do more research and development. That's a good thing, right?" Liu Xiaolin was very smug.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're doing great. Since the food has been sold, let's take a break. I see that the underwater mountain range has already appeared on the large screen. Let's hurry and try to contact the great bear." Niu De said the latter part to Kayaski.

"I've been keeping an eye on it, but it seems like no signals are coming through, and no abnormalities have been detected either," Kayaski said helplessly.

Suddenly, the Explorer II's detection system started beeping again.

Niu De and Liu Xiaolin immediately searched through all the screens and finally saw a blinking red dot on the large screen on the right side of the bottom row.

"Here, it's here, I see it! At the peak of the mountain range a hundred meters away, it looks like a paper airplane hanging there," Liu Xiaolin shouted loudly.

"I see it too, I see it too," Kayaski said, tears sparkling in his eyes with excitement.

"The equipment you brought is completely useless, a waste of my feelings. I was actually naive enough to think your equipment could help us out a bit," Niu De said with a pout.

"Actually, there's something I've wanted to say for a long time. The great bear's communication system is damaged, so even if my calling equipment connected to the dedicated channel in time, it wouldn't be any use. But none of you mentioned it, so I just treated a dead horse as if it were alive," Kayaski said with a grin.

"Good heavens, you're really something! You figured this out and didn't even tell us, making us rely on you," Liu Xiaolin said irritably.

"We can't contact them now, what should we do?" Niu De asked.

"I'll go out of the submarine and knock on their door. Didn't the Captain say that the external monitoring system wasn't damaged, so they can monitor the outside situation at any time, and the large screen inside the submarine can show the outside situation?" Kayaski said.

"Hmm, only you can go knock. If we go, we might be mistaken for bad guys," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Alright, when we're ten meters away from the great bear, you let me out, and I'll go knock on their door," Kayaski said excitedly.
