Chapter 1183: Chapter 607: Is This Trying to Poach from My Corner?_2

Having walked less than one kilometer, Sean Knight noticed that the continuous shadows in the lake had disappeared, replaced by some taller, but isolated black objects.

This further piqued Sean Knight’s curiosity. If it weren’t for being too conspicuous right now, he’d want to dive into the lake to take a look.

However, the occasional sight of fish shadows measuring one to two meters long swimming in the water also made Sean Knight abandon this idea.

It was better to be cautious.

Above the lake were fishing boats, the kind with mechanization, and the sound of their chugging diesel engines carried far and wide.

As he continued forward, the Sandy Beach by the lake vanished, with the lake water directly abutting the sheer Stone Wall, leaving no place to stand.

Although Sean Knight still wanted to see what was ahead, with the Road cut off, he had no choice but to turn back.

The workers who were intermittently setting up the boxed ladders cast glances at him, trying to see how Sean Knight would ascend.

To their amazement once again, Sean Knight approached the almost vertical slope as if on flat ground, took a little run-up, and charged straight up. He then reached a protruding part with his hand, hoisted himself higher, and in two or three moves, he was on the ground.

Dusting his hands off, Sean Knight strolled back towards the Campground.

The Team members had already set up the tents and started preparing food over the cook fires.

"Little Yang, what are we having for Dinner today?" Sean Knight saw Elijah Hastings, the part-time cook, chopping vegetables and asked.

"Stir-fried Wild Mushrooms with Meat, Stewed Carp, braised venison in brown sauce, Stir-fried Wild Vegetables, plus a Tomato Egg Soup, with Rice as the staple food."

"Really lavish..." Sean Knight glanced at the Ingredients being prepared and asked, "Are they all freshly caught?"

"Yeah," Yang Yongqiang replied, cheerfully washing the vegetables. "This place really is rich in resources! Just over in the Small River, there are big carps, the kind that weigh over a pound! The Forest is also full of Mushrooms, many of which are quite rare. There’s plenty of Wild vegetables too... What a place!"

Sean Knight smiled, "That’s great, we’re in for a treat!"

He spotted the golden-tailed big carp, truly beautiful, broad-bodied, almost resembling a crucian carp...

Indeed, they were in for a treat!

He reached the central tent—no need to say, this solitary small tent was obviously his own.

Inside the tent, the bed was already set up, with Sean Knight’s backpack beside it on the Ground, and a neatly laid moisture-proof pad, which felt solid underfoot without any give, evidently well leveled.

There was also a small Shelf at the head of the bed, holding a Plate of washed wild fruits, still wet with Water droplets.

The tent also housed a metal coal stove, with its long chimney extending out of the tent’s window.

It was Noon and still hot, so the stove wasn’t lit.

Sean Knight opened his backpack, arranged his Bedding, and lay down, letting out a long sigh. This camping trip was shaping up to be quite interesting.

Not long after, the Fragrance of the dishes wafted over, and One hour later, Elijah Hastings came to call Sean Knight for food.

A few Folding Tables were pieced together to form a dining Table, a big pot of Rice and several bowls of vegetables were brought to the table, filling the Camp with a tantalizing aroma that spread into the surrounding area.

"Boss, wanna say a few words?" Elijah Hastings asked Sean Knight with a smile.

"What’s there to say, I’m drooling already, let’s eat!" Sean Knight knew that Elijah Hastings and the others were used to making speeches from their army days, but having been on the Road recently, they were mostly roughing it out or eating Self-heating Food or just getting by with something from a roadside eatery. Now that they finally had a chance to sit down and enjoy China’s Delicious food, and everything on the table was to his liking, why wait?

Everyone immediately grabbed their bowls to serve themselves Rice, sitting or standing, they began to eat with gusto.

While they were eating, Cheryl Suweton rushed over from a distance, shouting loudly.

"How can you start without me!"

She had already caught the Fragrance of the food—their Campground was upwind, and once the scent wafted out, it blew directly towards Cheryl Suweton’s Camp. With the Fragrance so inviting, how could she not smell it?

Cheryl Suweton got restless at that moment, but James was still rambling on about the importance of this Investigation—what importance? Is it as important as eating?

In the end, Cheryl Suweton had to interrupt James and asked him to get to the point. James didn’t have much to say, so he concluded the meeting.

No sooner had he finished than Cheryl Suweton shot out like the wind, leaving James without a chance to ask her to say a few words.

He never imagined that Cheryl Suweton, so petite and delicate, could move so fast!

Looking at the ravaged bowls of vegetables on the table, Cheryl Suweton felt frustrated.

"There’s some, there’s some." Yang Yongqiang quickly put down his chopsticks, saying with a smile, "The boss said to leave some especially for you."

Then he went over to the cooking area and brought the reserved dishes over.

Cheryl Suweton brightened up immediately upon seeing them.

Although she hadn’t stayed in China for long, she genuinely fell in love with Chinese cuisine, so she didn’t hold back and thanked Sean Knight sweetly with a smile before starting to eat.

Sean Knight thought to himself, I never said anything about saving food—our team members are just too lovable!

He didn’t let on, and after everyone finished eating, Sean Knight took Cheryl Suweton into the tent.

"I took a look around the lake earlier, and there truly might be some Relic below," Sean Knight started.

This came as a surprise to Cheryl Suweton, who was sitting on the bed.

She thought Sean Knight had blatantly brought her to the tent to do something naughty.

Turns out, it was about serious business.
