The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter Sixty-One)
After delivering the information, Song Ning and his group originally planned to leave immediately, since Song Ning hadn't even intended to expose himself in the first place.
However, the base was indeed very kind, and Captain Man was also a kind person. After realizing how valuable the information brought by Song Ning and his team was, Captain Man immediately helped Song Ning apply to the base's higher-ups.
"Brother Song, your information is very important. Don't worry, our base will not ignore your contributions. I have already applied for it for you, and you will definitely get your share."
As Captain Man spoke, Dr. Liao nodded in agreement.
"Well, cough cough, the base here is quite honest in its dealings, so don't worry. Moreover, the news you brought is very important to all of humanity. If the converter is successfully developed, you will have done a great service to all of humanity."
Song Ning was a little embarrassed by what was said, "It's not that exaggerated, is it? It's not even certain whether the converter can be made now."
Dr. Liao looked at him with a serious expression and said, "It's that important. You probably don't know how much manpower and resources it takes to restore power. It's taken a lot of effort for our base to maintain even a little bit of power."
"If there really is such a convenient and cheap new energy source that can replace electricity, then the productivity that humanity has regressed due to the arrival of the apocalypse may be rewritten. Although we may not be able to catch up with the pre-apocalyptic state, it would be a huge step forward to change our current backward situation."
Song Ning was about to say that Dr. Liao was exaggerating a bit, but Captain Man bluntly retorted from the side.
"Brother Song, you don't need to worry about these things. If we can really develop a way to replace electricity, it will reduce a lot of difficulties in our future explorations, not to mention other benefits. Anyway, I've already applied for it for you. Just accept whatever they give you when the time comes."
This slightly domineering style is typical of Captain Man, but Song Ning doesn't find it hard to accept; on the contrary, she feels a little warm inside.
He finally agreed to Captain Man's request for a reward. Just as they finished their discussion, new information came from underground.
"Captain Man, Dr. Liao, you're here too! Perfect timing! Our exploration team has found the entrance to the research institute, and we've discovered many well-preserved instruments inside!"
Captain Man and Dr. Liao's eyes lit up immediately. The former pursed his lips and looked at Song Ning and Lance, "Sorry, thank you for the information, but we have more important things to do now."
Song Ning expressed his understanding. Lance, who had been holding him in his arms, raised his head slightly, his expression of "keep away" carrying a hint of friendly reminder.
"Don't forget, be careful at the source; there might be danger."
Captain Man slightly suppressed his joy and said seriously.
"We understand that, and we will be very careful, making everyone's safety our top priority."
Song Ning and Lance didn't stay any longer to hinder Captain Man's actions. More importantly, Song Ning was very worried that if Captain Man's attention shifted to Lance, as the base's captain, he might notice Lance's difference and guess Lance's true identity.
Although the people at the base seem to be quite nice so far, Lance doesn't want to risk having his identity discovered.
Song Ning and his team have returned, but because they lack communication equipment, he is unaware of the specific situation at the base.
He spent a lot of time at home studying the four large freezers.
"If we're lucky, we'll have four big freezers, right? Those are great things! I just don't know if they'll still be usable after all these years."
Song Ning buried himself in his work with high hopes, while Lance handed him repair tools from the side.
However, Song Ning had rarely come into contact with such freezers before the end of the world, let alone repaired them.
He spent a long time figuring out how to dismantle these large freezers, but he stopped after removing the outermost layer.
Lance stood beside him, neatly arranging the screws he had removed, his head tilted to the side in bewilderment.
"Weren't we supposed to fix it? Aren't we going to stop?"
Song Ning took a deep breath and scratched his head with a slightly bitter expression.
"No, I'm just suddenly a little unsure. What if I can't put it back together?"
Before dismantling it, he thought, what if it wasn't that complicated?
But now that it's actually been disassembled, Song Ning is even more worried that she won't be able to repair it, and if she can't put it back together and ends up with extra screws, then she'll be really in trouble.
He hesitated for a while, then looked at the large freezer with reluctance, sighed, and gave up. "Forget it, it would be even more troublesome if I really couldn't even put it back together."
"Or maybe we should wait until next time and ask if anyone at the base knows how to fix this. Giving them some supplies and finding someone to fix it wouldn't be a bad idea."
"How about I give it a try?"
Lance could tell that his humans were reluctant to part with the supplies and really wanted to repair the large freezers, so he came over and volunteered.
Song Ning looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty.
"You're coming? But you've never handled this before, are you sure you know how to fix it?"
Lance wasn't entirely confident, but a mysterious feeling told him that fixing these things would be a piece of cake for him.
"I'll give it a try. I'm not afraid if I can't fix it. I have a good memory and I'm sure I can put it back together."
He took the tools from Song Ning and, without changing his expression, shooed the people out.
"I'll give it a try. You go and make something to eat so you don't go hungry."
Song Ning was pushed out with a somewhat bewildered expression. Lance had always been as clingy as he was in his big cat form, so why was he now trying to drive her away?
He thought for a moment, could it be that Lance wasn't actually sure he could fix it, and was just trying because he valued the large freezer so much?
Or perhaps she didn't want to see what it looked like when it was being repaired?
Never mind, let Lance be.
Song Ning went to get some food. When they left, Captain Man insisted on giving them some food, but Song Ning refused. Instead, Captain Man stuffed several small cubes into his hands.
Song Ning couldn't refuse these little cubes, because they were all homemade hot pot base from the base. One little cube was enough for a delicious hot pot meal, which Song Ning simply couldn't resist.
There was some leftover meat from the big cat's meal that had been frozen, so Song Ning picked out a piece of snowflake meat and decided to have hot pot lamb rolls for dinner tonight.
He took out the sharpest knife and easily sliced the frozen mutton rolls into individual rolls. Meanwhile, the hot pot broth in the stove gradually thawed, and the domineering aroma of spices quickly filled the room. Song Ning couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This smells amazing.
