It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

The drone scanned around and around, but ultimately came back without success.

"The things have been taken away," Su Chaoliu originally squatted on the ground, and then finally stood up. "These are all traces left by people, indicating that someone has been here and the things can't be found."

They came late.

Yan Hanguang said simply: "Then let's go."

There is no point in staying here.

Zhuge Ningning didn't give up, looked around and asked, "Shouldn't we look carefully?"

"No need," Su Chaoliu shook his head, "According to my guess about the organizers, they should have put the token there."

Zhuge Ningning looked in the direction pointed by Su Chaoliu's finger, and saw only a cave. It was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly.

She couldn't help but ask: "What's in it?"

"Bats," Su Chaoliu analyzed the data returned by the drone and guessed the species inside, "nocturnal creatures, it is daytime, so as long as they are not alarmed, it is not difficult to get them."

So they missed such an easily obtainable token.

It's all Huang Fan's fault.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ningning couldn't help but glared at Sheng Sisi.

Sheng Sisi shrank, unable to lift her head due to the weight of fear and guilt.

This look was caught by Su Chaoliu, and she frowned: "Ning Ning, apologize!"

Zhuge Ningning and Sheng Sisi both looked over with extremely surprised eyes.

"Chaoliu, they are the ones who caused He Yuanzhi to be eliminated and made us a step too late," Zhuge Ningning said angrily, "I will not apologize!"

Su Chaoliu's eyes were calm: "Since you can't remember the military regulations, copy them ten times when you get back."

This is a fatal threat to Zhuge Ningning.

Of course she refused to accept it: "Which military rule did I violate?"

Su Chaoliu recited the military regulations word for word: "As a soldier, you must distinguish right from wrong and distinguish rewards and punishments."

Military regulations...is there this? Zhuge Ningning looked at Yan Hanguang subconsciously. After all, it was always right to ask Yan Hanguang about study matters.

As a result, Yan Hanguang nodded to her.

It seems that there is indeed such a rule. She thought hard: "No, you must ask me which one is Gansu, otherwise I will not accept it."

Su Chaoliu replied: "

Not to mention Zhuge Ningning, even Sheng Sisi's eyes widened: "That's not the scope of the exam."

Su Chaoliu asked back: "If it's not within the scope of the exam, then you don't have to remember it?"

So what if? Zhuge Ningning wanted to say this, but looking at the faces of Su Chaoliu and Yan Hanguang, she didn't dare.

Yan Hanguang walked past her and said lightly: "Remember, ten times."

Even Yan Hanguang had spoken, and there was absolutely no room for maneuver. Zhuge Ningning lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Then he turned around and apologized to Sheng Sisi.

Sheng Sisi waved her hands and said no, but she felt a little more at ease after all.

Since the tokens here are gone, they naturally have to rush to the next location.

Along the way, Su Chaoliu suddenly said: "Find a place to hide!"

They immediately collected the flying jets and found a suitable place to hide.

Not long after, several people flew over their heads.

Zhuge Ningning was extremely anxious: "Our goal won't be defeated first."

"It's not like that," Su Chaoliu said, "There is no joy in their expressions. If they really got something, they would definitely not be so heavy."

Zhuge Ningning couldn't help but argue: "What if they are too disciplined?"

Yan Hanguang sneered: "In terms of discipline, the students of the First Military Academy are the most disciplined. I have never seen anyone who can hide their emotions so tightly."

Zhuge Ningning was speechless now.

"Don't be happy yet," Su Chaoliu reminded them, "Since they didn't get it, it means it's not easy to get it, and we may not be able to do anything about it."

Zhuge Ningning was very confident: "They can't get it, but we can definitely do it."

Su Chaoliu was noncommittal: "We'll talk about it after we go and see it."

After they reached a similar position, they realized why the team just returned without success.

"In the water?" Su Chaoliu looked at the rushing water and gasped softly, "The water is too fast."

Water warfare is not a course that the First Military Academy is good at, and since the situation in the water is always more complicated than on land, it is not a freshman course.

Su Chaoliu had previewed, but he had not taken any special classes.

But I still remember the general process.

"No matter what, we always need people to go into the water," Su Chaoliu discussed with the others, "Shall I go into the water?"

In fact, there is nothing to discuss. Yan Hanguang will not go down. He wants to hold the battle at the top, so either she or Zhuge Ningning will go down.

But Zhuge Ningning definitely didn't prepare for the underwater course, so she should go into the water.

The protective suit can be converted into a diving suit mode, and the supplies they received also included oxygen bottles, so Su Chaoliu put the oxygen bottle on his back, tied a safety rope around his waist, and went into the water.

"Be careful." Yan Hanguang said specifically before she entered the water.

"Don't worry." After saying that, Su Chaoliu plunged into the water.

As soon as she got into the water, she felt a strong impact, which pushed her downstream. The distance between the token and her was displayed on the diving lenses. Her hands and feet were swept three or four meters away before she started paddling.

Not daring to delay, she immediately swam deeper.

The river was about seven or eight meters deep, and she could see the bottom of the river after swimming for five minutes.

Although the river is fast, there are still many swimming fish swimming back and forth in the river. The sunlight passes through the green river water and shines on the fish, reflecting little phosphorescence.

Su Chaoliu didn't pay attention to the fish swimming past her because the tokens were not on them.

So where will it be?

Her eyes kept searching in the river. Since the spot of the token had not moved, she was more likely to find it in the river bed, maybe even buried in the mud, so that it would not be washed away by the current.

Then she saw a large oval stone, covered with moss, with a long axis of about one meter and a short axis of about 80 centimeters. According to the positioning, the token was either under the stone or in several holes in the stone.

So she cautiously approached to check. Before she could reach out to fiddle with the stone, a thick black line streaked across the corner of her eye.

Su Chaoliu immediately kicked off the water and hurriedly swam half a meter up, narrowly avoiding the black line, and then took a closer look.

A water snake slowly retracted behind the big stone, but still raised its neck and stared at Su Chaoliu warily.

An ordinary stone is actually protected by a "mythical beast".

But the next moment, Su Chaoliu's eyes widened in shock.

The stone in front of her slowly "grew" arms, legs and a head, and together with the water snake, it stared at her with its dark eyes.

Strictly speaking, this is not something that grows, but is already there.

It's not a rock, it's a giant turtle.

This turtle somehow got mixed up with a water snake, but who can tell clearly about the biological relationship in nature.

Most of the water snake's body was hidden behind the turtle shell, with only one head sticking out. Looking at it from Su Chaoliu's perspective, she thought of a mythical animal from the Blue Star period - Xuanwu.

Xuanwu just has two heads, a turtle and a snake.

The turtle shell is thick, and it can be seen from the moss that the turtle has not moved for a long time, and the water snake is fast and fierce. The two strange beasts are integrated into one, capable of both offense and defense.

No wonder the previous team returned without success.

Su Chaoliu's eyes widened, and all the circumstances of this Xuanwu appeared in his eyes.

There is a gap between the turtle and another stone, and the water snake coils its body in this gap. The turtle shell and the stone form a double protection at the front and back, protecting the water snake tightly.

There were many wounds on the water snake's tail, as if it had been bitten by the teeth of some strange beast.

As for the turtle, there was a crack under the thick moss under the turtle shell, and the green token was on the moss. It was difficult to see it with the naked eye, but after she turned on the power, she could see it at a glance.

Su Chaoliu decided to surface first.

As soon as her head came out of the water, there was a pull on her waist pulling her to the shore. She saved her strength and allowed herself to be pulled ashore.

As soon as he landed, Zhuge Ningning couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation?"

Su Chao Liu shook his head: "Not too optimistic."

Then she described in detail what she had seen.

It was also the first time that Yan Hanguang heard about such a situation. He was very surprised and wanted to go down and find out: "Are these two strange beasts symbiotic or companion?"

"This kind of thing is not what we should be concerned about," Su Chaoliu shook his head, "Only those in the biology department pay attention to this."

Now they only need to focus on how to get this token.

But Yan Hanguang was obviously very interested. He said to Su Chaoliu: "Go down and take a look. Bring a real-time camera and follow my command."

"Okay." Su Chaoliu didn't say much, put on the camera and immediately dived in again.

The images captured by the camera will be transmitted back to Yan Hanguang's optical brain, and Zhuge Ningning immediately came to him to take a look.

The basalt appears in the camera, but the turtle has retracted its limbs and head into its shell. Only the water snake is swimming slowly in the water, but its tail still remains in the protective circle.

Yan Hanguang said: "Stop, keep this distance."

Su Chaoliu assessed that at this distance, she could get away from the water snake even if it rushed towards her, so she calmly stepped on the water and stayed still.

After the water snake swayed slowly for a while, it suddenly moved like a rabbit, quickly jumped to a swimming fish, opened its mouth and bit the swimming fish, and then retracted like a spring.

What happened next was amazing. The water snake took the fish it caught in its mouth and fed it to the turtle shell instead of eating it.

Then the turtle slowly poked its head out of the shell, took the fish, and swallowed it into its belly.

They say that a turtle that lasts for a thousand years is a turtle that lasts for ten thousand years, but even if a turtle bastard lives for a long time, he still needs to eat. This turtle can lie here so motionless that it has green moss all because there is a water snake that takes care of it. Prey and feed.

The unlearned Zhuge Ningning was also stunned and sighed for a long time: "The love between husband and wife is so deep."

After Yan Hanguang was speechless, he slapped Zhuge Ningning on the back of the head.

Whether you know how to use words or not, the reproductive isolation between a tortoise and a snake is thousands of miles apart, so where do the couples come from?
