Frying Zerg to make delicious food shocked the whole galaxy!

Chapter 664 Dignity Must Not Be Lost

After confirming that the Seventh Legion could handle the remaining Zerg on its own, Marshal Shi led his troops back to the Second Legion's base.

After a night of fierce fighting and slaughtering the moth-insect race, they were exhausted and it was time to go back and rest.

After General Tan finished deploying the battle plan for his team, he saw Marshal Shi leading his men towards the Second Army Corps' base without looking back. His face darkened again.

What's so good about the Second Legion?
What's wrong with their Seventh Army Corps?

Why did Marshal Shi, despite his post-battle exhaustion, insist on returning to the Second Army Corps?
How are you all feeling?

After getting away from the Seventh Legion's base, Marshal Shi slowed down the flight speed of his hover shoes and asked the people following behind him.

"It feels great." The team captain, who had been looking serious, immediately understood what Marshal Shi was asking. His tense face instantly relaxed, revealing a hearty smile.

"Yes! My body is so tired that I want to collapse and rest immediately, but I don't feel the heaviness I usually feel after a battle, and my mental sea also feels very relaxed!" The youngest-looking man in the group couldn't wait to chime in, his tone lively and excited.

Others then began to share their feelings, instantly enlivening the previously subdued atmosphere, with their excitement overflowing in their words.

Marshal Shi, who was listening quietly to their conversation, nodded inwardly. It seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way.

"Gurgle~" Just as everyone was talking enthusiastically, a sound like thunder suddenly rang out.

In an instant, all talking stopped, and almost everyone turned their gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

Even Marshal Shi couldn't help but turn his gaze over.

Everyone's gaze eventually fell on someone's stomach.

Meanwhile, the owner of the belly—the team captain—stared stiffly ahead, his gaze fixed intently, afraid of making eye contact with anyone.

"Gurgle~!"

Just as the team captain was feeling awkward and was about to say something to ease the tension, an even louder rumbling sound of a stomach pounding rang out.

"..." The team captain's stiff lips twitched involuntarily.

The sound was so loud… Was he really that hungry?!

It even rang a second time!
Wait! Something's not right!!

That sound didn't come from his stomach!

The team captain seemed to come alive instantly, his burning gaze suddenly falling in the direction from which the sound had come.

"Ah—I'm so hungry." The youngest-looking man raised his hand to touch his stomach, which had just expressed his need for food. His originally lively and excited voice instantly went limp, revealing a weak and listless tone.

Normally, the first thing they do after a battle is drink nutritional supplements or healing potions; their stomachs would never protest.

However, having been in the Second Legion for so long, no one would voluntarily take nutrient solutions unless in an emergency.

Because we need to save room for the delicious food at the Second Legion's mess hall.

Then, the third person's stomach also started making a rumbling sound, "Gurgle..."

Then the fourth person, the fifth person...

As Marshal Shi listened to the continuous, empty drumbeats, he quietly touched his stomach, feeling somewhat relieved that his belly hadn't started to grow louder at that moment.

Otherwise, he would lose his prestige as marshal.

In order not to lose his dignity, Marshal Shi led his troops back to the Second Army Corps' base and immediately went into the mess hall.

The plates filled with delicious-looking food had already been placed on the table by the robot that had received the order to serve the food.

Looking at the intact canteen, Marshal Shi remained expressionless, but inwardly he gave Jiang Ci's battle plan a thumbs up without reservation.

The team members who followed Marshal Shi in looked at the food on the table with shining eyes.

The Second Legion's squad also arrived at the canteen. The two groups exchanged glances, saluted, and greeted each other before choosing the nearest seats. Then, only the soft clatter of bowls and chopsticks filled the canteen.

After a long while, a voice of praise broke the silence: "This food smells amazing!"

As praise arose, more topics emerged. Some people excitedly recounted their feats of killing the Moth Insectoids, while others shared amusing anecdotes from the battle.

The atmosphere in the cafeteria immediately became lively, with the clinking of bowls and chopsticks mixed with laughter, and even the air was filled with a relaxed warmth.

Marshal Shi looked at the scene before him, a relaxed smile appearing on his face, and even his aura softened.

It seems that we really need to get a cafeteria, especially with all this delicious food...

Second Army Corps Command Room.

Seeing that the wormhole had closed, Bai Mianmian, who had wanted to watch Marshal Shi and Shi Sijin's fun but couldn't because Marshal Shi had returned, yawned and went to sleep.

She skipped breakfast and had been snacking and drinking tea almost non-stop all night, so she wasn't hungry at all.

Jiang Ci noticed Bai Mianmian enter the lounge and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, there's no need to worry about her suddenly rushing out and running into the wormhole.

Just then, a message popped up on his terminal.

The moment Jiang Ci saw the contents, the ease in his eyes vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent, and even the air around him seemed to turn colder.

Ling Xinglan and the others in the command room gasped, their eyes snapping towards Jiang Ci in shock.

What's wrong with you, boss? Your wife just went to rest, she didn't disappear, why are you making such a scary face?

But they only dared to mutter to themselves; no one dared to utter a sound at this moment, and they even breathed very softly, for fear of incurring bad luck.

……

Around noon, Bai Mianmian woke up and came out of the rest room to see Jiang Ci still busy at his command post.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Ci's voice drifted over before he even turned his head.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Bai Mianmian, his eyes filled with a smile: "Want to go have lunch?"

His demeanor and tone at this moment were completely different from the murderous person he had been before. Even the coldness in his eyes had vanished, as if he had never had such a fierce aura before.

Ling Xinglan and the others, who had been working under high tension for most of the day, couldn't help but relax, and some even let out a big sigh of relief.

Bai Mianmian's attention was entirely on Jiang Ci, so she didn't notice Ling Xinglan and the others' subtle actions.

She tilted her head to look at Jiang Ci, her voice soft and sweet, still a little sleepy from just waking up, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Ci's lips curved into a smile, and the smile in his eyes became even more pronounced: "Not yet."

He had guessed that she would wake up at this time, so he deliberately postponed lunchtime, waiting for her to come with him.

"Shall we go together?" Bai Mianmian asked with a smile, a slight upturn at the corner of her lips.

"Okay, together." Jiang Ci agreed with a smile, then connected the terminal to the command console so that he could check the battle situation in the forest at any time.

As for the battle situation at the Seventh Army Corps' base, that was no longer his concern.

"Boss."

Bai Mianmian and her companion had not gone far from the command room when they saw Zhuo Juntao striding towards it.

Not long after Marshal Shi led his troops to withdraw from the Seventh Army Corps, he received orders from Jiang Cirang to lead his troops back for rest and reorganization.

He had finished resting and was ready to continue working.
