Chapter 960 - 958: Looking Up at a 45° Angle

As the sun set in the west, it was just past five in the evening when Xiaofeixia delivered the second batch of White to the base and returned to Candy Science and Technology Park.

After parking the truck, Xiaofeixia glanced at the time and saw the minute hand on the watch pointing at "5," letting out a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, I pressed the gas pedal a few more times on the way back, otherwise when Candy returns later, I’d have to take a taxi back to the neighborhood alone."

In a good mood, Xiaofeixia returned the car keys when passing by the reception.

"Boss, all the Whites have been safely transported to the base as per your request."

Sitting in front of the computer looking at Zero’s circuit design, Mo Jingchun raised his head to look at Xiaofeixia, nodded with a smile, and said:

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

After Xiaofeixia left the office, Mo Jingchun’s gaze returned to the computer.

Xiaofeixia had successfully completed the mission, and Zero had already informed him when the second batch of Whites disembarked.

More than two hours ago, satellite network communication had already been established between the park and the base.

Zero was thoroughly familiar with everything at the base.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Mo Jingchun made some minor adjustments to the circuit diagram, and time slipped by unnoticed.

Only when a little head leaned over did Mo Jingchun feel someone approaching and came out of his focused state.

Glancing at the curious little head peeking at the computer, Mo Jingchun asked: "Do you understand what you’re looking at?"

In response, Candy shook her head and naturally said:

"Of course I don’t understand, but it looks pretty impressive."

After saving the latest circuit diagram changes, Mo Jingchun closed the drawing software.

At this point, Mo Jingchun turned to look around the office and realized Li Xuanyu hadn’t come up yet, asking in bewilderment:

"Where’s your sister-in-law?"

Candy spread her hands, looking innocent, and said:

"Brother, you might as well ask Zero as asking me. I just came home from school; how am I supposed to know where my sister-in-law is."

Just then, Li Xuanyu walked in from outside, carrying an exquisite little bag.

As soon as she entered, she laughed and said: "I heard someone calling ’sister-in-law’ as soon as I came out of the elevator."

Candy wasted no time in selling out her brother, raising her hand to point at him, saying: "Sister-in-law, it was my brother who specifically wanted to ask me where you were."

............

Under the moonlight, Mo Jingchun’s family was having dinner inside.

Only ten meters away, in a neighboring villa, everyone except the on-duty Lone Wolf was eating meat around a large round table.

Since injecting the X-Gene Optimization Liquid, both strength and speed, even neural response speed, have been constantly increasing.

Everyone seemed to be back when they first entered military training, feeling the growth in various abilities every day.

Just one thing kept troubling everyone.

That is, constantly feeling hungry and eating a lot.

And eating too much brings another annoyance, frequent bowel movements.

Within a large villa, there were four bathrooms, and even so, there were frequent situations where people had to wait in line for the restroom.

Taking a bite of braised pork, a mouthful of rice, Feiyan asked while eating, without any concern for image: "Captain, when will these conditions end?"

"I’m not afraid of anything else, just afraid of suddenly needing to use the bathroom in the process of protecting the boss."

Hearing this, others couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Everyone was having dinner, is it really appropriate to talk about this now?

Listening to Feiyan’s question, Wild Wolf paused his movement, responding calmly:

"You’ve also seen the diagram explanation of the X-Gene Optimization Liquid; according to the process stated there, after a while, our eating will stabilize.

Then, all problems will naturally disappear."

After a while of silence, the often talkative Xiaofeixia suddenly asked:

"Captain, do you think the boss already used the X-Gene Optimization Liquid long ago? From the year we started following him, Candy has visibly grown, but the boss himself? Time hasn’t left any trace on his face."

Immediately, the dining room became eerily quiet; everyone tacitly refrained from making any noise.

After looking Xiaofeixia in the eye for over ten seconds, Wild Wolf finally spoke.

"Be cautious in words and actions."

"Whether it is or isn’t, does it have anything to do with us? Or do you think that the secret research projects in the No. 1 laboratory building are few?

Since you mentioned it, let me emphasize for the last time today, do not have any curiosity, even if you do, suppress it."

"Finish your meal."

This time, everyone tacitly lowered their heads to eat, without uttering another word.

Just now, the captain blinked three times in total.

Everyone suddenly realized that all their conversations, every word and every action, could all be seen by Zero.

Late at night, while many lay in bed staying up, a few people across the country donated some funds and finally slept peacefully.

Faced with this group’s actions, the relevant departments were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Mo Jingchun knew nothing of all this because... Mo Jingchun had already drifted into his dreams.

The next morning, thirty-plus kilometers away, in the underground base, sixty Whites started moving one by one after discovering all soldiers had risen for routine training.

According to the received construction maps, Whites divided their tasks and headed to their respective areas.

At the base, soldiers returned after training and were dumbfounded.

Just cleaned up the underground base yesterday, and now dust was everywhere, as if entering an ethereal realm.

Accompanied by flying dust were tapping and clanging sounds.

"Everyone, temporarily evacuate the base."

Chen Hongping frowned and shouted loudly.

Breathing in fresh air, all soldiers scanned the area, and if not for the presence of the lieutenant, everyone would have been talking uncontrollably.

"Class leaders step out!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"..."

"Present!"

"Go to the dormitory and bring out all the basins from your class; everyone fetch water to remove the dust."

"Yes!"

Watching the class leaders run into the base, Chen Hongping shook his head.

Mumbling to himself: "Robotic technology is still immature, completely disregards human feelings."

When Mo Jingchun finished his morning run and received feedback, he was somewhat surprised.

"Surely you didn’t overlook the dust issue," Mo Jingchun stared at Zero suspiciously.

Others might be clueless, but Mo Jingchun knew very well that while the Whites have some intelligence, they still can’t perform perfectly coordinated work, necessitating Zero’s real-time scheduling.

In other words... Zero definitely neglected the issue of dust when opening the line grooves.

Glancing at Zero, who was determined, looking up at the ceiling at a 45° angle, Mo Jingchun pouted and said:

"Come up with a plan to address the issue; it’s not viable for soldiers to keep fetching water."
