Chapter 56

"I'll ask Wen Yao for a solution." Feng Ling didn't mention Luo Bi extracting the energy liquid. Since Luo Bi is not allowed to join the combat team, her abilities are irrelevant to the team, and some people can regret it.

Feng Ling came back very late that night, took a shower, and held Luo Bi to sleep.

At six in the morning, Feng Ling released the person in his arms, got out of bed, and Luo Bi heard the sound and wanted to get up. Feng Ling stopped her: "It's fine if you get up, but you can sleep more."

Luo Bi lay back down.

Feng Ling went to the bathroom to wash up, came out, put on his military uniform, made a call to Qin Yilang, and then sat down by the bed. Luo Bi had been awake all along, opened her eyes, and saw Feng Ling's hesitant expression: "I have to go on a mission with the combat team today and won't be back for a few days. Can you manage on your own?"

"Sure, come back soon." Luo Bi looked at Feng Ling with pleading eyes. She had no acquaintances at the military base and was afraid to be alone at night.

Feng Ling didn't know what the woman was afraid of, and tapped the terminal on Luo Bi's wrist: "Contact me if anything happens." After saying that, he pulled the thin blanket over her and left the room.

Luo Bi lay in bed for a while before getting up. Feng Ling had left breakfast for her, and she decided to go to the base cafeteria for lunch.

After leaving the house, Luo Bi had only taken a few steps when a woman dressed simply walked towards her. The woman's hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling onto her cheeks, and her flat shoes were slightly dirty, making her look like someone who worked in planting.

The woman also saw Luo Bi and smiled shyly, greeting her: "You must be Luo Bi, Feng Ling's wife. I'm Pei Yu, and my husband is Yang Yu, the captain of the seventh combat team."

Luo Bi didn't know the woman and smiled, trying to make conversation: "Do you live on this floor?"

Pei Yu nodded and pointed forward: "Just the house ahead. Come over if you have time."

Pei Yu didn't seem to be a talkative person and went home after greeting Luo Bi.

Luo Bi arrived at the base cafeteria, and countless eyes looked at her. She pretended not to notice, calmly ordered two dishes and a bowl of rice, and turned to look for an empty seat.

"Hey! Beautiful lady, over here." A handsome man smiled and called out to Luo Bi.

Luo Bi looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the man. He was Colonel Luo Jie, and sitting with him was Colonel Lan Ze, the husband of An Jing. Luo Bi wasn't familiar with them, but she hesitated for a moment and walked over.

Colonel Luo Jie probably didn't expect Luo Bi to respond, and only remembered to pull out a chair for her when she was close.

Luo Bi pulled out the chair before him, and Luo Jie's outstretched hand paused, then calmly retracted it.

Luo Bi sat down and smiled, asking: "Did you come early?" Since they weren't close, she had to make small talk.

Lan Ze glanced at Luo Bi indifferently, and Luo Jie raised an eyebrow: "Oh, we just got here."

After the polite conversation, Luo Bi smiled and lowered her head to start eating. The rice was plain, and the dishes were vegetables. They looked good, but the taste was...

Ha, tasteless and dry. This was ordinary food grown by machines. Luo Bi hadn't eaten it for many years, and every time she did, she couldn't help but laugh, not at anything else, but at the indescribable texture.

It was a visual deception, food that only fooled the mouth, and the more she thought about it, the funnier it became.

Lan Ze had a prejudice against Luo Bi and was very unhappy to eat with her. At the table, apart from the sound of eating, no one spoke.

To be honest, Luo Bi felt quite awkward. She had no appetite to begin with, and the more she ate, the less she wanted to, to the point where she felt like vomiting.
