Shi Youzhi had finished making the call and, after greeting his teammates, was ready to lead Ai Jia into the station city beyond the desert.
Only after the pair left did She Ping complain, "Fixing the station benefits everyone, yet some people just have to stir up trouble for no reason."
A female teammate tossed him a pack of biscuits, "Eat something first; we don't know when the captain will be back. Fill your belly before you grumble."
Wan Tingfang went over to get some food and took the opportunity to ask, "We can't go into the station city?"
Although the relations between the two sides were not great, base personnel were free to enter and exit all the major cities.
The female teammate shook her head, "If we can avoid going, it's best not to. You saw it yourself, the repair equipment has a self-destruction device. If we bring it inside and it destroys itself for no good reason, we'll lose all our rewards."
