The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 394 - 387 Positioning

The wild camel meat was actually really tender and quite delicious.

There’s a saying that hunger makes the best sauce, and a full man finds no honey sweet; Gao Yuan really suspected that it was due to his long-term lack of meat that made him find any kind of meat extremely delicious now.

In the base, where cooking conditions were so good, Gao Yuan didn’t find the meat that tasty, but how could camel meat roasted under the most rudimentary conditions in this vast desert be so delicious?

But seeing how the guys from Egg Bomb Squad devoured their food in such a ravenous manner, Gao Yuan believed that the roasted meat must really be delicious, because relatively speaking, they were the group with the most abundant resources.

"It’s really very tasty, right?"

Gao Yuan asked Ralph, who was holding two large skewers of meat; he bit into one and mumbled with his mouth full, "Yes, delicious."

During the roasted meat meal, the members of Egg Bomb Squad and Angel were rarely able to meet, and it was even rarer for them not to display mutual contempt after meeting.

"Let me tell you, the roast meat is nice when you first dig in, but after too much, it still gets greasy. Now, what’s really delicious is my exclusive secret recipe for braised beef, ah no, braised camel meat."

Cao Zhenjiang held a skewer of meat, and with a dismissive look at the ravenous diners, he chuckled, "You’re all eating your fill now; don’t regret it later when you can’t eat anymore."

Yu Shunzhou hesitated, his mouth greasy; he looked at the others who were still gobbling down their food and finally said, "Never mind whether the stew is tasty or not; let me eat my fill first."

Cao Zhenjiang waved his hand dismissively: "Ignorant. I brought so many spices and only now do I get the chance to properly stew a pot for you; eat, just eat, later all the leftovers will go to Gao... Captain."

Lady Xinghe smiled, sounding very pleased, "I believe you, I’ve decided that now..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lady Xinghe suddenly stood up and then exclaimed hastily, "Oh no, I’ve got diarrhea."

Lady Xinghe turned and walked away, while the others looked at one another in bewilderment, because no one knew whether she really had diarrhea or if she was just making an excuse.

After taking a few steps, Lady Xinghe turned back to Gao Yuan, an urgent look on her face: "Are you dumb, get my bag, would you? You don’t expect me to go by myself in the dark, do you? Don’t you know I’d be scared?"

Gao Yuan put down his skewer and chuckled dryly, "You guys go on... continue; there’s paper in the bag, I need to take it to her."

Gao Yuan picked up the bag and followed after her, then he and Lady Xinghe hurried off to a place out of sight from the others.

Ralph and the others remained silent, but Renato couldn’t help saying, "Your captain, he’s quite... interesting, isn’t he? And that Lady... Lady Xinghe, she’s not a soldier, is she?"

Although they said nothing, the looks in Ralph and the others’ eyes were all quite skeptical; in such a critically important mission, having a woman who was obviously a burden and who was both naïve and gluttonous seemed irresponsible of Captain Gao Yuan.

Yu Shunzhou turned his head and let out a long sigh, a helpless look on his face, "Ah, how to put this... we’re all men here, um, actually Lady Xinghe isn’t all that bad; she does have a mission too. It’s just that halfway through the journey, the two of them..."

Yu Shunzhou suddenly seemed to realize something; he looked at Li Jingang, who hesitated for a moment and then gave a slight nod.

"Well then, I might as well spill it: our captain and Lady Xinghe, you know, familiarity breeds fondness. You understand what I mean, right? Considering we could all be dead any day, they’re just seizing the opportunity to have their sweet moments; we might as well turn a blind eye."

Renato had been traveling with them since Afghanistan, so he had a somewhat better understanding; after hearing Yu Shunzhou’s explanation, his face was full of confusion: "So what is Lady Xinghe skilled at? She’s certainly not combat personnel, right?"

"This was Renato’s first time delving into the foundations of the Spark Squad; before this, he had never inquired about the origins of Xinghe.

Yu Shunzhou stretched out his hand and pointed at the contented Lizhizi who was eating, saying, "Look at him, what does he look like to you?"

"Of course, a Taoist Priest, a Military Taoist Priest."

Yu Shunzhou grinned and said, "We picked him up halfway. He was adamant about following our team, so we let him. It was the same with Xinghe."

Renato nodded, and Ralph wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he didn’t speak and continued to eat his roasted meat.

Nie Erlong sighed softly, then looked at the others and shook his head. "Compared to us, your living environment is much better. In our area, aliens are particularly active and constantly deploy all sorts of monsters. It’s impossible for one person to survive alone, so we help those in need whenever we can."

A few people banding together to deceive, the effect was still acceptable. Whether Renato and his team believed it or not, at least it gave a plausible explanation for Xinghe’s origin.

On the other side, out of everyone’s view, Xinghe stopped and took a backpack in her hands, whispering, "How was my performance?"

Gao Yuan held up his thumb and said in a low voice, "A perfect performance. I never thought an alien could act so vividly so quickly. That’s real talent."

Xinghe smiled proudly and said, "I learned it from TV dramas. I also find acting quite interesting. Although there are fewer audience members, it satisfies my desire to perform."

Xinghe took out the Revelation and placed it on the floor. She elegantly ran her hands over the parts of the Revelation that had no control panels, and a globe of Earth immediately appeared in the air.

Indeed it was bright, but Gao Yuan, prepared this time, had already pulled out a flashlight and shone the beam behind him. He also placed his hand in front of the flashlight so that others could only see the light, providing an explanation for its presence.

With a wave of her hand, Xinghe turned the three-dimensional image of the globe into a flat plane, then quickly enlarged it, and a light appeared on the map.

Gao Yuan watched intently, and he immediately recognized what the place was.

The medical pod was in Djibouti, as Djibouti’s geographical features were too easy to recognize.

Xinghe whispered, "The location has been pinpointed and recorded. We can confirm the specific position now. Do you choose to continue, or should we shut it off now?"

"Turn it off for now."

If the location could be recorded, there was no need to rush at the moment. Gao Yuan whispered, "One question, can the medical pod trace our location in reverse?"

"No, the medical pod only supplies energy. Location tracking is not a function of the medical pod."

Xinghe waved her hand behind her and the bright light from the Revelation disappeared. However, Xinghe didn’t put the Revelation back in the bag but instead whispered, "This incident seems to be a lengthy one. It appears this person has suffered severe injuries. If it’s over five minutes, then it’s the kind of critical injury that’s lethal but not yet fatal."

Gao Yuan whispered, "Can we detect if the medical pod is moved?"

"Without use, there are no energy fluctuations; without energy fluctuations, it can’t be detected, so you can only locate the last known use position."

It was slightly flawed, but Gao Yuan felt it was enough because a critical piece of information was now in hand: the Ark of the Covenant was in Djibouti, and they could pin down its location to centimeter-level precision."
