Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Chief Food Improvement Officer

Someone said, “It’s been ten minutes already, you lost, hurry up and give the sweets.”

“Wait, just five more minutes. If the fox still hasn’t moved, I’ll give you two!”

“Not keeping your word?”

“No, no, no, let’s wait and see, let’s wait and see. Hey, don’t you think it’s tiring to hold that pose?”

Tang Zelin couldn’t help but curl his lips with a smile.

This time, he did not disturb the fox, and simply passed by it as he continued his stroll.

“Group Captain!”

Seeing him, the soldier nearby started to get up to salute, but he gently raised his hand and said softly, “You all rest.”

As the sun set, Tang Zelin’s silhouette moved further and further away from the fox.

After meditating while facing the sky for a long time, the fox finally did a carp jump and got up from the ground, seemingly stirred by something, it dashed towards the back mountain.

The sentry guarding the mountain gate had long gotten used to their group’s mascot, “slipping out” to the mountain occasionally.

At first, the sight of the fox slipping out of the camp had them as if facing a great enemy.

Now, they had come to a deep realization.

That was, no matter how tightly they guarded, it was impossible to stop the fox from going out.

It wasn’t known how, but they were already on full alert, how could it still manage to slip away?

Later on, everyone just got used to it.

After all, whenever it went out, it would also drag back the prey it caught.

In the end, weren’t they the ones who benefited?

So later on, when the fox went out again, the sentries just turned a blind eye, and since the new communication mode of saluting and “woofing” at each other spread, sometimes Shaobing would even show heartfelt respect towards their 208 group’s meal chief improvement officer.

The fox leapt out in one bound, leaving behind a loud “Woof!”

Qu Guo’an had just returned from a visit around the troop when he entered the group headquarters and heard Guozi excitedly reporting to Tang Zelin.

Saying that the fox had gone up the mountain again.

“What, the dog has gone up there again?”

“Yes, Political Commissar, you should guess too, what do you think it’ll bring back this time?”

Qu Guo’an took off his hat, placed it on the table, and chuckled, “I really can’t guess, but whatever it brings back will be something to feast on.”

Guozi touched his head and laughed, “That’s true.”

“Alright, you should go to the cook squad first and ask Old Wang how much food we still have left.”

“Roger that!”

After Guozi left, Tang Zelin looked up, “You sent Guozi away, is there something you need to say?”

“Indeed.”

Qu Guo’an pulled his chair over to where Tang Zelin was, placed a document on his desk, and said mysteriously, “Take a look.”

Without knowing the reason, Tang Zelin opened the document holder, pulled out the papers, and examined them.

After a long pause, Tang Zelin was slightly surprised, “Is this news accurate?”

“Whether it’s accurate or not, I reckon, since the brigade commander especially asked me to pass it to you, it shouldn’t be too far off. What do you think?”

“If the news is accurate, then we just need to get through this winter, and there will be hope for better days.”

Qu Guo’an also expressed his feelings, “Exactly, I really hope those researchers work harder. We can’t continue like this forever.”

“Hmm.”

“By the way, Qian Li came to find me yesterday, said there’s a meeting in the city tomorrow and he needs to go back.”

“Needs the procedures to leave the camp?”

“Right.”

“Then issue him one. They’ve come a bit early, the official transfer documents haven’t come down yet.”

“That’s true, but wasn’t it said it would be soon?”

Tang Zelin smiled lightly, “Perhaps the leaders above haven’t reached an agreement yet. After all, transferring is not about one or two people, there are many people involved, and there are many issues to consider. Marking territories is a place prone to conflicts.”
