Chapter 605 Ning Anyu may still be alive
Under those expectant eyes that hoped he would speak up for them, Ning Weiquan silently turned around and smiled at Ning Anrou, "Okay, I'll listen to my daughter."

She can still listen to him and show mercy to others, and now she's even giving him dinner. Her anger should have subsided by now.

Ning Weiquan didn't dare to ask, but his tense heart relaxed a little, and he happily put away the nutrient solution in his hand.

However, while he was free of burdens and felt completely relaxed, the others were anything but.

Although no one knows how the dinner sent by the Second Legion will taste, just the name "Second Legion" is enough to make anyone want to try it.

Before they could even swallow their pride and speak kindly to Ning Anrou, Chen Jiajia came in with a portable food cooler.

In that instant, almost everyone's eyes were drawn to the food storage container that was getting closer and closer to them.

"Commander," Chen Jiajia said respectfully to Ning Weiquan as she stood still.

"Mm." Ning Weiquan put away his tenderness towards Ning Anrou and responded indifferently.

Ignoring his attitude, Chen Jiajia turned to Ning Anrou after receiving a response and said, "Captain, the dinner sent by the Second Legion is all here."

"Okay, give one portion to the old man, and take the rest back to share with the team members. After all, these are supplies that our team traded for, so we can't let others benefit from them," Ning Anrou replied while she was eating.

Being repeatedly told not to think about that dinner would make anyone angry, so the person who originally wanted to say something nice to Ning Anrou was immediately too angry to speak.

"Yes, Captain." At this moment, Chen Jiajia obeyed Ning Anrou's orders without question.

So, she took a dinner out of the portable refrigerator and handed it to Ning Weiquan, who then received a kind and gentle smile in return.

"!!" Chen Jiajia, who was trying her best to remain calm under the gaze of many key members, was almost scared off by Ning Weiquan's smile.

I must have been too busy and tired these past few days, and my eyes are playing tricks on me!

Muttering to herself, Chen Jiajia quickly grabbed the portable food cooler and headed out, wanting to get some rest as soon as possible.

The key personnel, their eyes glued to the refrigerated box, immediately became anxious.

However, they hesitated before they could finish speaking, because Ning Anrou's repeated emphasis was still ringing in their minds, and they couldn't bring themselves to call her back.

Ning Weiquan didn't care what others were thinking. He started eating as soon as he got his dinner. He figured he could deal with things later; it wouldn't make a difference if he didn't waste a little time.

The lunchbox lid was lifted, and the steaming food inside immediately released a variety of mouthwatering aromas.

People who were far away couldn't help but crane their necks forward, as if they wanted to see what was inside the lunchbox.
It was noticeable that the dishes in Ning Weiquan's lunchbox and Ning Anrou's lunchbox were completely different, but their appearance and aroma were in no way inferior to what Ning Anrou was eating.

Seeing the two of them enjoying their meal, several sounds of swallowing saliva and rumbling stomachs immediately filled the hall.

"My dear niece..."

Overwhelmed by the aromas of various unfamiliar foods, and seeing the two of them eating with gusto without even looking up, someone finally couldn't help but lower their tone and call out to Ning Anrou.

Bai Mianmian and Jiang Ci had no idea what the dinner they had sent over had caused.

At this moment, Bai Mianmian was listening to Jiang Ci recount in detail the day Ning Anyu was sucked into the black hole, as well as the information he had found about the black hole in the past few days.

Bai Mianmian didn't understand some of the technical terms, but she understood the meaning behind Jiang Ci's words, suggesting that Ning Anyu might still be alive.

"Really?" Bai Mianmian blurted out, her eyes brightening slightly. Clearly, the possibility that Ning Anyu might be alive made her happy. A barely perceptible smile flickered in Jiang Ci's eyes as he lightly tapped a screenshot of a surveillance camera on his terminal screen.

The image was blurry and indistinct; it was impossible to discern what it was with the naked eye.
But as Jiang Ci's fingertip swept across the screen, a clearer image appeared beneath it.

He said in a calm tone, "Although it's not clear enough yet, after technical processing and restoration, it can still be confirmed that this is a human settlement."

However, at this point, he suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat serious: "It's just... the architectural style of this place is very peculiar."

"We have reviewed all the databases we could access, but we couldn't find any identical or similar records. At present, we cannot determine which corner of the universe this black hole is connected to."

Bai Mianmian's gaze shifted from the light screen to Jiang Ci, her clear eyes filled with insight as she asked, "So, you want to find the black hole, and then go through it to that place?"

Jiang Ci's expression suddenly froze.

He hadn't expected Bai Mianmian to be so perceptive, catching his unspoken intentions in just a few words.

After a brief silence, Jiang Ci met her gaze frankly and affirmed without any attempt to hide anything, "Yes."

Reaching out, Jiang Ci enveloped Bai Mianmian's slightly cool hand in his warm palm, leaning slightly forward and looking at her with focused and sincere eyes, saying, "I do have this plan."

Bai Mianmian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Before she could speak, Jiang Ci continued, "But Mianmian, don't worry, I won't act rashly. I will make thorough preparations before taking any action."

"So, you weren't planning on taking me with you?" Bai Mianmian pursed her lips, finally asking the question that was on her mind.

Jiang Ci tightened his grip on Bai Mianmian's hand slightly. "I don't want you to take risks with me."

Bai Mianmian's eyes darkened slightly as she asked, "Didn't you say you would make thorough preparations before taking any action?"

How is bringing her along considered a risky act?

Jiang Ci was speechless.

After another brief silence, he skipped the topic and said, "If we could determine the coordinates of this human settlement before the black hole appeared, we might not have to go through it. Don't worry, I've already sent people to continue investigating the architectural style on this map."

Bai Mianmian stared intently at Jiang Ci, her clear eyes seeming to see through to the depths of his gaze, revealing all his thoughts at that moment.

Jiang Ci's eyes did not flinch at all; he was not afraid that Bai Mianmian would see through his thoughts.

Because he really didn't want to take her on any risks.

She was clearly unhappy now, so he didn't want to continue the topic, since it was still uncertain whether or not they would enter the black hole.

He didn't want to have a falling out with her over this.

After a few breaths, seemingly sensing Jiang Ci's thoughts, Bai Mianmian temporarily suppressed her impulse and lowered her eyes slightly.

Her fingertips unconsciously curled slightly in Jiang Ci's palm. Bai Mianmian slowly spoke, her voice carrying a barely perceptible tension, yet revealing a rational inquiry, "You said..."

After a brief pause, she glanced at the blurry outline of the strange structure on the screen and asked, "This black hole, and those wormholes we encountered before... could they all... lead to the same place?"

Jiang Ci, who was on edge, wary of her saying something hurtful, suddenly felt a slight tremor in his pupils upon hearing this.
