Chapter 210: Shall We Eat Together?

"Why burn these ELID Infected? You can find a place to bury them..." Before Sier could finish her sentence, Angelia reached out and tapped the young girl's helmet.

"What nonsense are you talking? Who has time to bury these strangers? Besides, these guys have turned into ELID Infected. If they're buried, they'll probably remain intact for hundreds of thousands of years, just like glass."

Moreover, being in a polluted area like this, whether it's microorganisms or bacteria and fungi, they've long since been completely eradicated. If these ELID Infected were able to decompose underground, there probably wouldn't be any ELID Infected left in this city.

"The routine disposal method for ELID Infected is burning them. Whether it's burning them on-site or transporting them to a dedicated incinerator, burning them is the only option." Interrupting Sier's question, Angelia shook her head.

"The downside is that it will cause the pollution index to rise in the immediate vicinity. But considering how polluted this place already is, a few more won't make much difference."

Dier didn't feel much about it. He had seen others handle ELID Infected before, so he was used to it.

As for why one sibling who had hardly seen ELID Infected was concerned, while the other was already numb to it, that wasn't within Renault's scope of exploration.

"So, are you guys planning to leave? Or are you deliberately coming out here to use up my disinfectant materials?" Turning around to look at the three people in protective suits, Renault said somewhat speechlessly.

Leaving was probably not feasible. They hadn't noticed before in the dormitory building, but now that they came out, they could see the densely clouded sky overhead.

Visibility was extremely poor, and Renault didn't trust Dier's flying skills in these conditions.

Even if Dier was a genius pilot who could perform instrument flying under extreme conditions, the interference in the polluted area was severe, and there was a possibility of instrument failure during flight.

Moreover, the helicopter they came in wasn't advanced at all, an old model from decades ago. Didn't Statesec think about updating their equipment?

Just like the old armored vehicle the Bureau used before, now Angelia had managed to get her hands on an ancient helicopter.

Wasn't she afraid of it falling from the sky halfway through?

With all these factors combined, nighttime flying became a highly risky endeavor. Of course, if Angelia had a military-grade aircraft, it might not be so troublesome.

But the key was she didn't.

Moreover, with the pitch-black sky now, there wasn't even a single light visible for dozens of kilometers around the city. With no reference points, whether Dier could safely fly the helicopter back intact could only be left to the mercy of the heavens.

As for how they came here? When they flew over, it wasn't completely dark yet. If they had acted a little faster and taken UMP45 and the others and left immediately, the timing would have been enough.

Unfortunately, these guys delayed Renault for a couple of hours, so now they had to wait until daylight to depart.

Upon hearing Renault's words, Dier immediately looked up at the sky and saw the pitch-blackness overhead. He immediately recoiled like an ostrich and quietly moved towards the door of the disinfection isolation room.

No joking, flying in this kind of weather was no laughing matter. He had just seen those freshly made doll frames; he didn't want to meet an untimely end!

The pilot fled first, so Angelia naturally didn't have the nerve to say she wanted to leave. She could only force a smile and awkwardly go back inside.

Of course, Renault wouldn't actually demand disinfection fees from these guy. What was a bit of money?

When this guy asked him to take on a mission in the future, one commission would earn back all that money!

As soon as they returned to the dormitory building, before they had taken a few steps, Renault smelled a pungent smell coming from the kitchen. It was probably CF05; coming out to eat hot pot so late at night was almost spoiling NZ75.

"If you want to rest, go to the guest room next to the workshop. G36 specially cleaned it up for you." Originally, G36 had cleaned up that place for Renault to rest.

But Renault didn't need it at all. At most, he would just lie on the sofa, cover himself with a coat, and doze off for two or three hours. Sometimes he would even just sit on a chair in the workshop and sleep.

G36 had tried to persuade him, but Renault was too lazy to lie on the overly soft bed. If it weren't for occasionally seeing Renault change clothes, G36 would have thought Renault never changed his clothes.

Anyway, back to the present. Sneaking into the kitchen, CF05 was frying hot pot ingredients stealthily, with NZ75 assisting on the side. Suddenly, they saw Renault push the door open and enter, startling them. But CF05 immediately waved at Renault.

"Commander! It's almost ready! Come join us for a bite!" With that, CF05 poured the fried base directly into the nearby pot and added the remaining broth G36 had left.

Alright, all set, time to eat!

CF05 carried the pot, while NZ75 held the electric stove and the tray with the ingredients, and walked out of the kitchen directly, coincidentally meeting Angelia and the others.

"Oh? Guests? Um... Want to eat together?"

Facing CF05's invitation, Angelia clenched her teeth, looking at the steaming, but hellishly red pot in CF05's hands...

Dier and Sier were also frightened by this terrifying pot, their lips trembling as their brains raced, thinking about how to escape from this life-threatening pot in front of them!

Thud.

Before the three could come up with any excuses, they heard a light sound. It turned out that Renault had already placed a stack of bowls and chopsticks on the nearby dining table, along with a box of beer he had taken out.

Seeing the tall stack of bowls, obviously more than three... needless to say, Renault had definitely counted them in!

Looking at the three sets of bowls and chopsticks placed in their direction, Angelia felt her calves trembling.

Could they really eat this? What if they ate it? Would they immediately come down with acute gastroenteritis!?

As for the situation of eating hot pot, it was probably Renault and the two dolls enjoying themselves on one side, while Angelia and the others were suffering but also oddly enjoying it.

Despite the extreme spiciness, the taste was absolutely worth it!

But they had to drink yogurt after every bite, or else their tongues would go numb.

Not long after they started, Maria and UMP40 came out of the repair chamber, escorted by UMP45 and UMP9 who had been waiting in the workshop.

For this, Renault even ran back to the kitchen to cut up another batch of ingredients. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough for Maria and UMP40, who hadn't eaten anything for a long time. Even though the hot pot was super spicy, it couldn't stop their appetite.
