Chapter 998: One got away!

In 2020, another lively Spring Festival passed.

The date came to February 15, Saturday.

8 a. m.

Lin Feng withdrew his hands from the keyboard and let out a long breath.

The first stage of translating the Heavenly Book was finally over.

During this time, Lin Feng basically lived the life of a single dog.

Even Qi Yao seldom saw him.

At least, no one saw anyone else in Lin Feng's place.

He stretched, accidentally dropping his pen on the floor; Zhu Xia Yinmei picked up the pen, revealing her figure.

Just then, a knocking sounded at the door.

"Come in..."

Lin Feng said lightly.

The door opened.

Yang Caiwei poked her head in and took a look inside.

Nobody!

She hurriedly slipped inside and closed the door.

"Hmph!"

Lin Feng gave a cold snort.

"Oh~ senior brother, don't hold a grudge anymore!"

Yang Caiwei stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's arm, and coquettishly said.

"No! I've never held a grudge!"

Lin Feng shook his head and said.

"That's being petty!"

Yang Caiwei pouted and said.

Lin Feng did not refute that point.

When a man ought to be petty, he should be petty.

Being too magnanimous makes everyone think Boss Lin is handy—summoned he comes, dismissed he goes—and they assume he won't get angry.

"It's been so long; you should have let go of your anger by now!"

Seeing Lin Feng silent, Yang Caiwei added.

Lin Feng crossed his arms, still silent, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yang Caiwei's eyes shifted, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

Soon the call connected.

She put the phone to Lin Feng's ear.

"Dear, what are you doing! The climate's changing so fast now! Just after the New Year, it already feels hot..."

Putting those words into text, there's actually nothing to them.

But if those words came from Zuo Wei's mouth, it would be different.

That kind of voice that could summon firefighters made Lin Feng's teeth ache as if he'd eaten several unripe plums.

"All right……mm……okay!"

Lin Feng replied through clenched teeth.

After hanging up, Yang Caiwei couldn't help but laugh.

Dealing with a person like Boss Lin sometimes requires special means.

Sister Zuo Wei usually doesn't stand out.

But sometimes she's pretty effective!

"This is this week's schedule; if you agree, just sign it!"

Yang Caiwei, as if performing a magic trick, produced a form and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Still need to sign?"

Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Caiwei crossed her arms, slightly lifted her chin, and said: "Before, I just let you have a look and that was it, but judging from your recent performance, from now on you must sign such forms, senior brother."

"Once signed, it can't be changed."

"Previously, the schedule was flexible, and I had to keep up with it every day."

"Now it's different; I don't want to be so tired, and I don't want to manage such trivial matters anymore."

"If you're dissatisfied, you can switch people anytime, humph!"

Yang Caiwei also threw a little tantrum, intending to act as an incompetent housekeeper.

"Er~"

If Yang Caiwei went on strike, Lin Feng really would have no way to deal with her.

"Well then..."

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said: "Let's just keep it as before—I won't sign this character. But I absolutely guarantee that from now on I won't be petty anymore; I'll be magnanimous toward you all, okay?"

"That's about right!"

Yang Caiwei snatched the form from Lin Feng's hands, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into the trash bin.

Although Lin Feng didn't sign, her purpose was essentially achieved.

Then Yang Caiwei said in a coquettish tone: "I've been annoyed to

I have to answer at least ten phone calls a day, each one requiring patient explanation.

They even thought I was abusing my authority and had you put under house arrest!

Lin Feng waved his hand, saying, "It's not that serious! I was just joking with you."

Yang Caiwei also waved her hand, saying, "Forget it! I'm broad-minded and won't stoop to their level."

Just then, Lin Feng's phone rang.

Yang Caiwei opened her mouth, then closed it again.

She was about to say that today, the first day the forms were restored, she was the first one.

It was Qi Yao calling from her side.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

It turned out that Qi Yao had told him that one of the two "wart treasures" had escaped.

As for the other one,

A few nights ago, Qi Yao prepared the frog squad for Lin Feng, making it from a certain part of that one's body.

They could have gotten along peacefully.

But the Frog Tribe clearly harbored strong hostility.

So Lin Feng didn't hold back either.

If it weren't for those three good-for-nothings who accidentally got poisoned, one would have been eaten and the other two captured.

Several people would have gone missing on Earth.

In the plan of the three Wa Tribe members, there was originally a scheme to devour humans.

After saying a few words to Qi Yao on the phone, Lin Feng immediately stood up, greeted Yang Caiwei, and hurried out of the room.

Yang Caiwei glanced around the room, furrowed her brow, and sniffed.

There was a scent of perfume, as well as the smell of a face mask.

She immediately stepped forward and closed the door.

"Come out!"

Yang Caiwei said lightly.

As soon as her words fell, Zhu Xia Yinmei appeared, giving Yang Caiwei an embarrassed smile and saying, "Sister!"

Yang Caiwei said, "It's all your fault! Humph!"

……

Several minutes later, Lin Feng arrived at Qi Yao's laboratory building.

Upon entering the room where Lao San was kept, he found the cage empty.

Qi Yao called up the surveillance footage and showed it to Lin Feng.

They saw the Wa Tribe's Lao San first enlarge his body, standing upright like a human.

Then, a large amount of bluish-yellow liquid-like substance welled up from his body.

Lao San's body seemed to melt.

Turning into liquid, it flowed out of the cage.

"Such an abnormality should have triggered an alarm from the computer control system, but there was no response."

"Later we found out that the computer had been interfered with at that time; probably this guy activated some kind of device inside his body."

Qi Yao furrowed her brows as she explained.

After finishing, she displayed a picture of a micro robot for Lin Feng to see.

It was similar to the Witch Tribe's micro robot, only differing in appearance.

It appears that, when developing technology, all flesh-and-blood life forms are the same regardless of species.

Not only do they build huge spacecraft, but they also create microscopic machines to assist their physical bodies.

Seeing Qi Yao looking somewhat self-reproachful, Lin Feng smiled and comforted her: "A setback brings wisdom; our prison still has loopholes."

This is a lesson; if we encounter such a situation again, it won't happen again.

This is certainly not Lin Feng's fault.

Actually, Lao San's method of escape was fundamentally unsolvable.

Even if Qi Yao's laboratory building were completely sealed, the micro robots on that guy's body would still bore a hole in the floor.

Qi Yao nodded and then analyzed: "These micro robots were originally insufficient in number to support its escape."

Probably the micro robots inside Lao Two's body were all transferred into Lao Three's body.

Then the two combined, producing a quantitative change reaction.

I think this is likely an emergency measure of the Wa Tribe.

Lin Feng nodded.

……

At the same moment.

In outer space, inside a Wa Tribe spacecraft shaped like a meteorite.

In the cockpit, a three-dimensional projection of Lao San was being cast into the air.

"Gua gua gua gua gua gua..."

Lao San waved his two frog-like forelimbs, calling out in fear.

"The intelligent life on this planet is too terrifying!"

"They actually have a way to deal with us Wa Tribe!"

"At that time, the elder, Old Two and I, completely without noticing, found ourselves unable to move."

"And they really like to eat us!"

"Also, their food is richer than ours. Food boxes are everywhere on the roadside, free to take."

"The best thing I've ever eaten is something with circles that can also blow bubbles."

"Their technology is no worse than ours; they have long possessed Micro Robots."

"This time I still gained something: they seem to be a branch of the Witch Tribe. The Witch Tribe woman we tracked last time still has many on this planet."

……

Lao San analyzed for a moment.

It was scared.

After hearing Lao San's report, the curious commander who followed considered for a few seconds.

As expected, he ordered the ship to leave immediately.

They are only three scout ships, lacking the power to destroy this planet.

Moreover, the civilization of this planet is not inferior to theirs.

"I'm still..."

Before Lao San could finish speaking, the communication cut off.

Immediately after, Lao San received orders to continue lurking on this planet, gathering more intelligence.

Obviously, Lao San was abandoned.

Lao San, still remaining on Earth, did not croak angrily.

Because that is their destiny.

As the lowest‑rank scout, like cannon fodder, always must be ready for death.

And the commander leaving immediately was also a correct decision.

The Universe is too dangerous!

When encountering a civilization lower than one's own, one can destroy it at will.

But for civilizations of the same level, one must treat them carefully, otherwise a genocidal tragedy could occur at any time.

"I miss mother..."

Lao San muttered to himself.

But thinking of having hundreds of thousands of kin,

Lao San couldn't help but emit a long croak.

What to do next?

After being abandoned, all the Micro Robots on its body self‑destructed, except those still providing physiological assistance.

Lao San scratched its head, feeling foolish.

Why exaggerate the Earthlings' prowess?

The commander actually fled in fear.

"Croak~"

That sound, translated into human language, is... Ma's!
