Chapter 533 Is That, a Crab?
Seeing this, Ling Feng lifted his head, his eyes bulging into perfect circles, "Is it really this price?"
"Nonsense, would the director joke with you?" Chen Ping shot him a glance.
Ling Feng still seemed somewhat incredulous; if they went by this price, then one giant octopus leg could sell for a hundred thousand!
Wasn’t this money coming in a little too easily?
Just as he was secretly thrilled, Chen Ping tapped the table with his finger and reminded him, "Don’t get too happy too soon, there’s something else I have to tell you. The food you supply will eventually be distributed to various branches across the nation, so you must make sure it’s well done. Don’t package it all haphazardly without any order!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Boss, didn’t you say before that excessive packaging was not allowed?"
"That’s right, it must be exquisite but not overdone, figure it out yourself!" Chen Ping nodded.
Ling Feng was speechless; this demand was indeed strict!
But considering the money involved, he nodded, "Alright, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"That’s good!"
Chen Ping nodded, then continued, "Also, the equipment you asked for has all arrived. The director himself approved it, sourced from the military, all top-notch stuff!"
"Fantastic, thank you for the leadership’s support!"
Ling Feng was so overjoyed he almost jumped up!
"Supporting you is only right, just don’t let the director’s painstaking efforts go to waste!" Chen Ping said.
"No problem!"
Ling Feng could no longer sit still, it was as if he was sitting on hot coals, extremely restless.
Seeing this, Chen Ping rolled his eyes, "Alright, if you want to go, just go. The delivery truck will go directly to Shiliu Village!"
"Okie dokie, I’ll visit the director another day, I’m off!"
Ling Feng whooshed up, vaulting out of the room!
Watching this scene, Chen Ping shook his head helplessly, but his lips curled into a hint of a smile, secretly marvelling to himself—he was indeed lucky to have encountered someone like Ling Feng. The kid always had incredible things up his sleeve, and because of him, the upper echelons were starting to take notice of their division!
Rushing back to the village as fast as he could, Ling Feng immediately called everyone out again.
Joanna, Miao Lanlan, Xun Qianqian, Chen Yuhe, and Li Fei’er—as long as they were in Nine Heavens, he summoned them all.
Because they knew what it was about, everyone was filled with anticipation, eager to see what the delivered supplies looked like.
About half an hour later, an army-green truck slowly entered the village and stopped in front of Ling Feng’s house.
The two young soldiers responsible for the delivery looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. As they got out of the truck and saw a line of beautiful women of various appearances looking at them, both of them blushed, appearing quite uncomfortable!
One of them asked Ling Feng, "Excuse me, are you Lieutenant Colonel Ling?"
Ling Feng stepped forward with a grin, "That’s me, have all the goods been delivered?"
"Yes, they’re all on the truck, please sign for them!"
Knowing Ling Feng’s rank, the soldier stood at attention, showing great respect.
After signing, Ling Feng immediately directed everyone to start unloading.
Last time it was a hundred thousand bullets, which were easier to carry, but this time there were more items, and they were assorted and difficult to handle. That’s why he needed everyone’s help.
It took a full two hours for the group to move the items from the truck to the backyard.
When the truck left, Ling Feng led everyone back inside the house, closed the door, and headed straight for the backyard.
"Uncle, what is all this stuff?"
Li Fei’er was full of curiosity while moving the supplies, and finally, she couldn’t help but ask.
"The largest set is a solar power generation device, we won’t need it for now, so it can be stored in the Nine Heavens."
"This is a cutting machine, this is a military tent, and this is abseiling equipment!"
Ling Feng’s face was all smiles as he saw the plentiful military supplies, almost all of which could be used in the Fourth Layer Heaven.
Although he didn’t know the cost, military goods were definitely not cheap; obtaining all the needed items in one go made Ling Feng realize the great expectations the Security Bureau had for him.
"Come on, everyone, don’t just stand there; let’s move these items into the Nine Heavens first. They’re in the way out here in the courtyard."
Ling Feng said, taking the lead in initiating another round of moving.
After everything was moved, he let out a sigh of relief and looked at the people around him, asking, "Guess what I want to do most right now?"
"Take a dip in the pond in the Second Layer!"
Having been working for a while, everyone felt a bit sweaty, which is why Li Fei’er chimed in first.
However, Ling Feng shook his head and said, "No, I want to go see what that green thing in the Fourth Layer basin is!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to see too, now that we have a telescope, we should be able to get a clear view!" Xun Qianqian said immediately.
Hearing this, the others got interested as well and said they wanted to check it out, so they all picked up telescopes and entered the Fourth Layer.
For Li Fei’er and the rest, it was their first time there, and they were somewhat unaccustomed to the fierce winds.
Especially Li Fei’er, who was slender, almost got blown away by the strong winds!
With no other option, Ling Feng had to hold her as everyone quickly made their way to the edge of the cliff.
Among the supplies were three military-grade telescopes that could clearly see objects tens of kilometers away, so Ling Feng immediately looked towards that green dot.
But at just one glance, he froze in shock!
It was actually a tree!
In the vast expanse of the desert, there stood a lone, thriving tree!
"So it’s just a tree?"
After taking a look, Xun Qianqian appeared disappointed, having thought it would be something valuable.
To her, a tree was nothing special, since the First Layer and Second Layer were filled with them!
However, Ling Feng didn’t think so and said with a smile, "It surely isn’t as simple as that. If a place with not even a blade of grass can grow a big tree, it must certainly have something special about it!"
"What’s so special about a tree?" asked Xun Qianqian.
At this moment, Li Fei’er was scanning around with her telescope when she suddenly pointed in one direction and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, what is that over there!"
"Hm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, picked up a telescope to look in that direction, and saw a cluster of small, slowly moving black dots.
Their shape greatly resembled a type of marine crustacean, and he muttered to himself, "It couldn’t be crabs, could it?"
"It really looks like them!"
After his remark, Li Fei’er nodded immediately, taking a closer look, "Those are indeed crabs!"
Everyone was speechless, puzzled by the peculiar nature of the Fourth Layer; how could there be aquatic animals when there wasn’t a drop of water in sight?
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "No matter, the octopuses here can grow so large; those crabs should not be small either. Don’t worry, everyone, we will have a seafood feast in a couple of days!"
