At this moment, Shi Xi was unaware that an Alpha was trying to steal his Devourer.
"Is the check-up complete?" Shi Xi asked.
Chi Yan'an looked at Shi Xi, seemingly surprised that he would ask the question on his own initiative.
"No problem." Chi Yan'an sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.
Shi Xi sat opposite Chi Yan'an, quietly watching him, her violet eyes filled with contemplation.
He pondered for a moment, figuring out how to find the Devourer as quickly as possible.
Asking Chi Yan'an directly is undoubtedly the most efficient method.
After waiting a while, seeing that Chi Yan'an had finished eating, he seemed to have a sudden whim and then suddenly suggested:
"By the way, where's the Devourer? I forgot to take a picture last time, I'll go take a couple of photos." As he spoke, he even pretended to raise his brain.
"A-Ran wants to take a picture?" Chi Zaiqing narrowed his eyes slightly, then grasped Shi Xi's wrist. "I know how to take pictures; I'll take them for you."
Chi Yan'an gave a somewhat inconvenient look. "It's still under repair. We'll film it tomorrow."
"Really?" Shi Xi asked, a hint of doubt creeping into her mind.
Something's fishy.
In the original storyline, the Source was fine, yet it took so long to repair.
Do we have to wait until tomorrow?
By then, the daylilies will be too cold. :)
Shi Xi complained inwardly.
"It's alright, I'll just take a couple of pictures from a distance," Shi Xi said nonchalantly, as if she was determined to get some photos today. "Anyway, the young master knows how to take pictures, so I'll just have him take a couple for me."
Shi Xi pulled Chi Zaiqing to her feet, ready to go over.
Pei Muban didn't know why Shi Xi was suddenly so interested in the Devourer, but if it was just a small request like taking a picture, he wouldn't mind fulfilling it.
"Let him go." Otherwise, Shi Xi might keep thinking about it for a long time.
Based on his understanding of Shi Xi, if he disagreed now, she would probably sneak over in the middle of the night to take pictures.
Pei Muban was about to follow Shi Xi when he finished speaking.
Chi Yan'an glanced at Pei Muban, his expression softening, but the sharp look in his eyes and brows no longer held back.
When facing Pei Muban, he immediately dropped his gentle and friendly facade, revealing his true colors.
Pei Muban naturally noticed the change in Chi Yan'an's expression. He glanced at Shi Xi, who seemed impatient, and then said, "President Chi, could you please lead the way?"
Pei Muban looked at Shi Xi and patiently repeated his instructions, "Slow down, don't run around."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi stopped and looked at Chi Yan'an, as if waiting for him to lead the way.
—We're just missing you, big brother, hurry up!
The moment Shi Xi's gaze fell upon him, Chi Yan'an donned his gentle mask again. His eyes lingered on Shi Xi for a few seconds before he slowly stood up. "Come with me."
...
After familiarizing himself with the Source-Eater, Amis got off the mech.
I glanced at the time; almost half an hour had passed.
Jiang Yichen is still unaware of the situation...
The Zerg lair isn't far from here; it only takes about ten minutes to get there by piloting a mech.
So he decided to wait another hour.
They were waiting for news from Jiang Yichen, and also for the military to relocate as many residents as possible from the planets affected by this battle.
They were waiting for Chu Yao to deliver the ultimate weapon, the antimatter cannonball.
At the same time, he also knew that the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous the situation would become.
Such a large-scale population migration, no matter how secretly it's carried out, would be impossible for the Zerg to miss. Therefore, the Zerg would definitely protect the new Zerg Emperor at all costs.
The difficulty for Jiang Yichen to kill the new Insect King will also double.
As he was pondering this, Amissa suddenly heard footsteps, and his gaze fell on Beta, who had opened the door.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Xi asked with surprise when she saw Ya Misa.
The original storyline's Mass did not appear here.
A thought popped into Shi Xi's mind... Would Amissa be about to make a move?
Amissa didn't answer immediately. He glanced at Shi Xi and the OAs around him, "I'm the temporary commander. What brings you here?"
"..." Shi Xi said, "Let's take a picture."
An irrelevant answer means they don't want to talk about it.
Amis glanced at the mecha behind him, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a flat tone, "What's so interesting about filming this?"
Shi Xi smiled shyly, "I haven't seen much of the world."
Since Shi Xi had already said so much, Amis couldn't say anything more.
Chi Zaiqing looked at Shi Xi and said to him, "Aran, give it to me."
Shi Xi smiled, glanced down at her wrist that was being held, and said, "If you want it, take it yourself."
Chi Zaiqing nodded, his eyes slightly lowered, as if afraid that Shi Xi would move around, so he simply placed Shi Xi's hand in his own palm and began to untangle his head with his slender fingers.
...
After taking more than a dozen photos, Shi Xi signaled that it was enough, took the terminal from Chi Zaiqing, and began to admire it.
The photos only showed him from various angles, with the Devourer barely appearing. Even when it did appear, it was just a mechanical arm or leg, making it impossible to recognize what it was.
You might think the young master can't take good photos, but he takes them of himself and looks great. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a fashion editorial.
—But we never managed to capture a complete image of the Devourer.
"?" Shi Xi looked at Chi Zaiqing.
"I can only take pictures of people," Chi Zaiqing said shyly.
"..." Shi Xi praised Chi Zaiqing, "Well done."
"I'm glad Aran is satisfied." Chi Zaiqing smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Chi Yan'an glanced at Amas, "Now that we're done filming, let's go back."
Shi Xi nodded.
Noticing that Amis was still standing there, Shi Xi guessed that the plot had arranged for him to replace Chi Zaiqing in the next part of the story.
In that case, he only needs to go to save Jiang Yichen in place of Amis, and the plot will proceed smoothly.
Led by Chi Yan'an, they soon arrived at a temporary residence.
Shi Xi looked at the group of people who were staying in her room with various excuses and felt puzzled.
Why are they following him? Don't they have anything better to do?
Shi Xi looked completely bewildered, not understanding what they were doing.
How could he quietly take over the piloting of the Source in place of Amissa?
Chi Zaiqing noticed Shi Xi's expression. "Aran, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Shi Xi replied dismissively, "I'm just tired and want to rest for a bit."
Chi Yan'an and Chi Zaiqing exchanged a glance, then looked at Shi Xi, pursed their lips, and said, "I'll go downstairs."
This is a two-story building. When Chi Yan'an arranged the rooms, he and Pei Muban stayed on the first floor, while Chi Zaiqing and Shi Xi stayed on the second floor.
"Boss, young master, what are you two?" After Chi Yan'an left, Shi Xi looked at Pei Muban and Chi Zaiqing.
"One meter." Pei Mu glanced at Shi Xi.
"I'll stay with Aran," Chi Zaiqing said.
"But I want to take a shower."
As she spoke, Shi Xi turned her back to the two of them and took off her shirt... Her long silver hair fell down her back, drawing people's attention to her sunken waist.
Not hearing any footsteps leaving, Shi Xi threw her shirt onto the carpet, then turned around and said to Pei Muban, whose face was expressionless, and Chi Zaiqing, whose face was flushed—
"Still looking? I'm going to take my pants off."
