Summoning Mercenaries

Chapter 481: Cortana's invitation

"Head, how is it?"

   After Kent walked out of the flagship combat meeting room, he saw Cortana waiting for him in the deck corridor.

   "Hehe." Kent smiled softly and asked Cortana: "The next campaign policy has already taken shape, but what happened to you and Dr. Halsey?"

   "It is estimated that the system of the Star Covenant battleship will be completely replaced in three days." Cortana followed Kent, and handed La Kent's forearm small.

   "Huh?" Perceiving Cortana's little move, Kent, who was walking toward the preparation cabin, stopped and looked at each other, then asked with a soft smile:

   "Hehe, why are you so twitchy all of a sudden?"

   "Ken... Kent..." At this time, Cortana did not call Kent the leader as usual, and said a little shyly: "Now the war is over... Can you accompany me to a restaurant in Haiming?"

   "Huh?" Kent was a little unsure.

   "Head!" Seeing Kent's stunned look, Cortana quickly waved:

   "Leader, I have checked thousands of restaurants in Haiming City, and I am sure that one is the best, don't worry!"

   "Haha!" Kent seemed to be amused by Cortana's flustered and cute look, and then patted the other person on the shoulder and said:

   "Cortana, why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner? Also, can you eat?"

   After all, in Kent's eyes, Cortana is an artificial intelligence. Even if she has a biological body made by Dr. Halsey, it still belongs to the category of robots... right.

   "Yes!" Cortana nodded quickly and patted her flat abdomen proudly:

  "Dr. Halsey gave this body a digestive system, which means I also need to eat like you to provide energy to the body

  At the same time, Dr. Halsey gave me special taste buds, allowing me to experience the taste of your human food"

   "Oh? Really?" After hearing Cortana's explanation, Kent also exclaimed, and at the same time his eyes moved downward involuntarily...

   After seeing Kent's gaze, Cortana turned red and said: "Head...I and you...except for the different brain structures...all the others are the same."

   "Puff! Cough!" Kent suddenly seemed to have been hit by a crit, almost squirting a nosebleed, and then said after a long time:

   "Okay...that...well, anyway, the work of rebuilding Haiming City is not entirely done by our mercenaries. This time is still very leisurely."

   "Is that great!" When Kent agreed, Cortana jumped with excitement.

   "Just back on the Phantom, talk to everyone to have a meal together, and I will treat you." Kent said as he said, he began to walk in the direction of the preparation cabin again.

   "Huh?" After hearing Kent's words, Cortana immediately became silly, and then instantly ran to Kent to stop and explain: "Head, I just want to eat with you..."

   "Huh?" Kent didn't know why Cortana made this request, but without thinking about it, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, then there are only two of us."

   "Yes!" Seeing Kent agreed, Cortana was finally relieved.

  Then the two walked to the combat preparation pod on the flagship and returned to the Phantom via the Pelican.

   After that, Kent and Cortana both changed into casual clothes, and took the Pelican again to the airport in Haiming City, which had resumed normal operations.

   Then he went to the Blue Mercenary Corps barracks stationed near the airport, took away a Warthog, and went to downtown Haiming.

   Although the city of Haiming was ransacked by the Star Alliance the day before, there are already many pedestrians on the streets today, and the roads have been cleaned by local workers.

   In addition to shopping malls that have not resumed operations, some restaurants, small shops and other necessary places have resumed normal operations.

   As for some restaurants that are obviously very popular, they are not open. It is very likely that the shop was killed in an attack by the Star Alliance.

   And Kent also learned later that the space shuttles that had flown away were all the nobles on the sea star. Because they were afraid that hiding in the underground refuge would be a dead end, they forced the head of the army to let them take off.

  Who knew that it was because they wanted to escape, did not know that the reinforcements had arrived, there were also various hypocritical reasons such as not wanting peace and staying with the army, so this group of rich and powerful people did it all by themselves.

   Because two regiments fought hard outside the city and gave the Army sufficient time to lead the civilians on the Sea Star to retreat to the underground refuge, Haiming City did not suffer much in essence.

   Only 20% of the buildings in the city were destroyed, and the workers needed to work overtime to rebuild.

   There are not many cars on the street, and most of them are military vehicles driven by other mercenaries, so Kent and Cortana soon arrived in front of the restaurant.

   But...

   Kent looked at the broken tiles that seemed to have been trampled by the Scarab, and said to Cortana, who was sitting in the co-pilot, "Is this the restaurant you were talking about?"

   I saw Kent parked on the right side of the road, and the destination on the right, the restaurant Cortana said, had become a pile of ruins, or the commercial shops on both sides of the street had been destroyed because of the fighting.

   "Ah?! How could this be..." Seeing that the restaurant she had chosen for a long time had been destroyed ~lightnovelpub.net~Cortana was very frustrated.

   "Hehe." Seeing Cortana's sadness, Kent patted the top of her head lightly and smiled:

   "In this battle, you helped the captain in the naval battle. You don't know much about the land battle, so you don't know it was destroyed."

   "But! But the two of us have made an appointment..." Cortana was afraid that Kent would be pitted out by herself, and it was so stale.

   Thinking of this, Cortana couldn't help but puffed up her mouth, her arms folded and her chest sulking.

   After seeing Cortana’s cute face, even Kent was inadvertently distracted, and when he reacted, he smiled at Cortana:

   "When I was fighting the Star Alliance, there was a Lanzhou ramen restaurant on the street next door. I don't know if the boss opened the door. Why don't we go over and take a look?"

   "Lanzhou Ramen??" After hearing Kent's words, Cortana was obviously happier, but she was puzzled by what kind of restaurant it was, and then she asked:

   "This name is so familiar and so unfamiliar, which country is it from?"

"Lanzhou Ramen..." Kent smiled and started the Warthog, and then pretended to be mysterious: "This is a specialty of China, and every city, every county, and every corner has Lanzhou Ramen. "

   "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Cortana exclaimed: "Is it a joint catering company?"

   "Is that...Huh? It actually opened the door!" Kent was surprised.

  During the conversation between the two, they had already arrived on the street next door, and a green brand Lanzhou Ramen was opening its door to pick up customers.
