Chapter 446 A slap landed...

"Okay, boss, I got it."

Li Si suppressed a laugh and quickly replied.

He was secretly thinking that when he went to inform Earl, he should record the moment he received the message.

After all, such a scene is rare, and we might be able to use it to amuse Earl in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Si's smile became even more pronounced, as if he could already see Earl's bitter face when he learned the news.

"Yes, very good. This way we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the weapon's characteristics and potential impact."

Meros nodded in satisfaction.

"Also, remember to record all the details of the experiment, including how to use the weapon, environmental conditions, and so on. This information is very important for subsequent research."

He paused briefly, as if thinking about something, before continuing.

Li Si listened attentively to Meros's instructions, nodding occasionally to indicate that he understood.

He knew this mission was of utmost importance and could not be neglected in the slightest.

"Furthermore, report any unusual circumstances to me immediately. We cannot allow any accidents to occur during the testing of this weapon."

Meros continued.

His tone was serious and firm.

"Yes, I will closely monitor the progress of the experiment and report to you immediately if there are any abnormalities."

Li Si quickly replied.

"Okay, let's proceed according to plan. We need to go see where that bug has gone; it's really annoying that we haven't been able to find it."

Meros thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

"OK, all right."

Li Si responded, indicating that he would also join the search.

……

While Moros and Li Si were talking, Lin Xiyue felt a little bored. She looked around but couldn't find anything to do.

So, like a lazy kitten, she gently nestled on Meros's broad shoulders, blinking her big eyes and looking around at the ruins before her.

Suddenly, Lin Xiyue's gaze was drawn to a place on the left.

She looked closer and exclaimed, "Huh?! Something seems to be moving!"

Right next to that pile of dark, large barrels, several barrels were stacked tightly together, forming a small, shadowy corner.

Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed, trying hard to see what that thing was.

[Hey hey hey! It's your turn!]

Just then, her attention was interrupted by the system.

It turned out that while Lin Xiyue was looking around, she was also secretly playing Gomoku with the system.

[What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed.]

The system seemed to sense her distraction and asked curiously.

Before Lin Xiyue could answer, she caught sight of that thing moving again out of the corner of her eye.

Her heart suddenly raced, and a strange sense of tension welled up inside her.

"I think I saw something, it's moving!! It's on the left, where those big, dark barrels are piled together!! (wДw)"

She blurted it out to the system without thinking.

Upon hearing this, the system immediately perked up and quickly turned its attention to the direction Lin Xiyue had indicated, scanning the area.

Sure enough, the system also spotted a white thing, its rear end sticking out, sneaking into the gaps between the large black barrels.

[Huh?! This thing looks like that bug that ran away!]

The system suddenly exclaimed, its voice revealing a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

Its eyes were fixed on the screen, as if it wanted to see the insect clearly through the screen.

Just before the insect was about to completely burrow into a certain place, the system quickly zoomed in on the image so that it could be observed more clearly.

As the image zoomed in, the insect's full appearance gradually came into view. The system finally saw its overall shape clearly, and without a doubt, this was the insect that had escaped earlier!

"Amo! That, that bug is over there! I just saw it run inside!"

After the system confirmed the message, Lin Xiyue's voice rang out like a machine gun.

Her tone was filled with anxiety and excitement, as if she were afraid that Meros hadn't heard her.

Moros was talking to Li Si when he heard Lin Xiyue's call. He immediately stopped talking, looked up, and followed the direction Lin Xiyue was pointing.

"Huh? Which way?"

Meros's voice was deep and calm as he searched the direction Lin Xiyue was pointing, but he didn't seem to see the insect.

"Right there, over by that huge pile of buckets, I watched it crawl inside!"

Lin Xiyue immediately said.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. Li Si, can you take Fei Bo and leave now, back to the planet?"

Momoros nodded, then turned his head and looked at Li Si, asking a question.

"Boss, how about I have Earl come and take him back? I... I don't want to leave right now."

Li Si hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, then shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Meros frowned slightly and stared at Li Si, as if trying to see through his inner thoughts.

"Okay. Let's go take a look together, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to control him."

After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand something, nodded, and agreed to Li Si's suggestion.

"Okay, boss."

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mo Luosi's words and quickly nodded in agreement.

Just then, Lin Xiyue suddenly noticed Mo Luosi's actions. She saw that he was actually holding her in his arms, as if he was preparing to take her with him.

Lin Xiyue panicked a little; she didn't want to be held like a child by Molos all the time.

"Hey?! If I want to go too, why don't you put me down?"

Lin Xiyue hurriedly called out, struggling as she spoke.

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound echoed in the air, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

At first, Melos was completely unaware of his actions. His hand naturally landed on Lin Xiyue's buttocks, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

However, this slap was like a thunderclap, leaving Lin Xiyue completely astonished.

Li Si's gaze fell on Mo Luosi and Lin Xiyue. For a moment, the whole scene became unusually quiet, with only the crisp sound seemingly still lingering in people's ears.

The reason is actually quite simple: Lin Xiyue was currently clinging to Mo Luosi's shoulder, her hands tightly gripping his shoulders, seemingly trying to break free from him.

Meanwhile, Meros held Lin Xiyue's calf firmly with one hand, while his other hand, for some reason, happened to be placed on her buttocks.

The posture was far too ambiguous, and the sudden slap made the already awkward atmosphere even more tense.

A minute passed, and the entire space was filled with a suffocating silence; no one dared to break the stillness.
