The night descended upon the grassland beside the portal, where a barbecue was in full swing.
Several pieces of beef, each weighing over ten kilograms, were roasting on the grill. Nearby, a group of people were skewering smaller pieces of meat for grilling. Whether one preferred large chunks of meat or small skewers, there was something to satisfy every preference.
Zi Han, holding a piece of well-cooked beef, ate beside the fire.
Among the supplies, there were some seasonings. These seasonings had been brought from Blue Star, at Ye Fan's strong insistence. While Ye Fan had purchased a lot of elven seasonings in the elven city, they lacked essentials like chili, Sichuan peppercorns, and black pepper. Ye Fan found them utterly unpalatable.
The carried seasonings didn't even occupy 0.01 cubic meters of space.
And now, it was these seasonings that gave the roasted beef for dozens of people its flavor.
One of the experts took a bite of beef and said, "It's been so long since I've had beef. We've been eating dinosaur meat all this time."
"Beef is much tastier. Dinosaur meat is too tough."
"Dinosaur meat can be delicious too. It's just that the dinosaur breeds in the cafeteria recently don't have a good texture. The dinosaur meat I used to eat at the dinosaur farm was very good. The breeds at the dinosaur farm had excellent texture, so we're trying to domesticate them."
"So, you have to go to a dinosaur farm to eat good dinosaur meat."
"No, not necessarily. Even in the cafeteria, there's a window that sometimes serves delicious dinosaur meat. It's just that there aren't many such windows, and the cafeteria is always so crowded. So, if you don't go early, you won't get any."
"Where is that window located? Next time, I must be on time to try what that delicious dinosaur meat tastes like."
"Actually, you don't need to be too anxious. Just wait a while longer. Once we make progress in dinosaur domestication, we'll definitely have delicious beef available."
"..."
Meanwhile, Zi Han was also eating beef nearby.
Zi Han surveyed the surroundings and noticed that everyone present was male.
"There are too many men. We need more women to join."
...
At the location where the dragon was being dealt with, an even larger aircraft had landed on a clearing nearby.
Several elven knights walked towards the aircraft and said, "Another plane has arrived. Could it be Lord Zero's plane?"
"In this world, besides them, who else has a plane?"
The aircraft door opened, and several soldiers emerged.
Upon seeing humans disembark, the elven knights were completely certain that they were subordinates of Lord Zero.
At that moment, instructions came through the elven knights' earpieces:
"Bring those humans over here."
The soldiers from the Dragon Country who had alighted from the plane also received orders from Su Han.
Suppressing their curiosity, several Dragon Country soldiers followed the elven knights to Su Han's command post.
"Dragon Country soldiers reporting."
The Dragon Country soldiers were unable to disclose their unit designations in the Dragon Country at this time.
Su Han said, "Go and transport some evil dragon materials onto the plane."
"Yes!"
Several soldiers arrived at a location where hundreds of kilograms of evil dragon materials were already laid out.
The soldiers began the transportation, with a few elves assisting them.
Half an hour later, the soldiers had finished moving the hundreds of kilograms of dragon materials.
Su Han said, "Good. Then let's have dinner now."
Su Han was eating food from the elven world from a bowl. When he had spoken with Zi Han, he learned that these soldiers had not yet eaten. Therefore, he had specifically waited for them to arrive before beginning dinner.
Elves nearby immediately brought food for the soldiers.
The Dragon Country soldiers, who were already starving, did not hesitate. They picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to eat.
A few days prior, when Su Han had asked them to make these two-stick eating utensils, they had been curious as to why.
However, upon seeing Su Han and other Dragon Country humans using these two chopsticks to pick up food, they were all astonished. It turned out that food could be eaten in such a manner.
After they had eaten their fill, Su Han, Chu Shi, Ye Fan, Lin Dong, and Xiao Yan boarded the plane.
On the plane, in addition to passengers, there were also hundreds of kilograms of evil dragon magical materials piled up.
At 11:30 PM, the plane returned to the vicinity of the portal. At this time, Zi Han and the others were still at their barbecue.
The plane landed, and the soldiers unloaded the evil dragon materials.
The experts, setting down their beef skewers, excitedly approached the magical materials.
"Dragon materials! I must study them thoroughly."
"Quick, open them up! Let us research them."
"..."
Chu Shi said, "There are refrigeration facilities among the supplies. Store the evil dragon materials inside. We can't research them until the research equipment is delivered."
Under Chu Shi's dissuasion, the experts had to abandon their immediate desire to research.
"Colonel Chu, if that's the case, then we'll go back tomorrow to get the research equipment for our study."
Chu Shi nodded and said, "Since you're already here, don't go back. Two-way material flow will significantly reduce the efficiency of the portal's use. We'll continue transporting materials tomorrow, and research equipment will also be brought over."
...
It was noon. Both sides of the portal were waiting for the arrival of 12 o'clock.
On the magic world side, the goods transported yesterday had been moved to a farther location, leaving empty space for the upcoming shipments.
At the Otherworld Headquarters, a long line of trucks had formed in front of the portal, loaded with supplies. Even the co-pilot seats were filled with cargo, and the hoods of the trucks were also laden with goods.
Beside these trucks stood rows of soldiers.
Vice Minister Li Chengfu was overseeing operations near the portal.
"Everyone, pay attention. It's almost twelve o'clock. Start your vehicles. Anyone whose vehicle cannot start, step out immediately."
All vehicles started up immediately. Indeed, one small truck could not be started.
These small trucks were promptly pushed aside by the soldiers standing nearby.
The time struck twelve.
Su Han opened the portal.
Li Chengfu shouted, "Depart!"
The trucks in front of the portal began to drive into the portal one by one.
Su Han and the others by the portal watched as the small trucks entered one after another.
The first vehicle that entered did not stop but continued to drive forward. If it stopped, it would block the vehicles behind it. The drivers had undergone emergency training the previous night. During the training, they were instructed to drive straight ahead for one kilometer after passing through the portal, then turn left. The vehicle behind would then turn right, and so on, alternating the turns.
The vehicles passing through the portal continuously accelerated. Initially, they floored the accelerator, and once their speed stabilized at forty kilometers per hour, they controlled it. Thus, the speed of the convoy steadily increased. When the convoy reached forty kilometers per hour, the speed stabilized.
If any vehicle malfunctioned while in motion, it would immediately pull over to the side, clearing the road. However, until the very end, only one vehicle experienced a failure in motion.
