Chapter 429 Repeated Scans

After running at an astonishing speed for a while, Lin Xiyue's speed eventually slowed down.

Fortunately, she managed to use her last bit of momentum to escape Li Si's sight and disappear into the ruins not far away.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Lin Xiyue's heart was pounding like a drum. She was breathing heavily with nervousness, as if she could hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears.

Then, she pressed herself tightly against the back of the dilapidated truck, her body trembling slightly as she tried to soothe her aches and exhaustion.

"Now, now he can't see, right?"

Lin Xiyue lowered her voice and anxiously asked the system.

She was very worried, but there was nothing she could do now.

Because of the rapid acceleration in a very short time, she was almost completely exhausted and could only gasp for breath, trying hard to keep her breathing steady.

[Don't worry, Li Si definitely can't see you now.]

The system's answer was crisp and decisive, giving Lin Xiyue a direct and affirmative reply.

Hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, but her breathing was still a little rapid.

"Phew—that's good."

Lin Xiyue let out a long sigh of relief and leaned against the deflated truck wheel.

Her body slowly slid down and finally sat on the ground, her legs slightly bent, looking somewhat weak.

Lin Xiyue's gaze was somewhat vacant; she stared ahead, her thoughts already drifting far away.

After resting for a while, Lin Xiyue slowly turned around and looked at the place where Molos and Fei Bo were fighting fiercely not far from her.

The two figures had transformed into enormous prototypes, their forms towering like mountains.

Although Lin Xiyue was standing dozens of meters away from where they were fighting, she could still clearly see Moros's figure because of their enormous size.

The battle between Meros and Phib was exceptionally fierce; their movements were as swift as lightning, and each attack carried the force of a thunderbolt.

However, as time goes by, both sides gradually deplete their energy, and their speed has noticeably slowed down.

Nevertheless, the battle was still thrilling and breathtaking.

Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed, completely absorbed in the fierce battle before her.

She discovered that the speed had slowed down to a point where she could barely see clearly.

Although she couldn't quite capture every detail, she could already barely distinguish the moves and actions of Meros and Fibonacci.

"System, scan for me. Has any part of the child that Earl caught before gotten close to Philip?"

Lin Xiyue stared intently at Molos. After a while, she suddenly turned her head and began looking around, searching for the escaped part, while also asking the system to search for it as well.

[Okay, okay, no problem.]

The system's voice rang in Lin Xiyue's mind. It knew that the situation was very urgent, so it agreed to Lin Xiyue's request without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the system quickly activated its scanning function, using Lin Xiyue as the center, and began a comprehensive scan of the surrounding environment.

However, this scanning process is not simple; it requires a lot of energy.

And this energy was naturally drawn from the energy coins that Lin Xiyue had charged in.

I can't be expected to do all the work and lose money at the same time.

The system muttered to itself.

However, it also understands that now is not the time to worry about these things, after all, the matter is urgent, and solving the immediate problem is the most important thing.

So, while the system was focused on scanning, it secretly prayed that Lin Xiyue would not discover the energy consumption.

After all, it's much better to explain to the host after things are over than to be discovered now.

Moreover, the host certainly won't care about this small energy consumption at that time.

The more the system thought about it, the more flawless it felt its plan was, and it couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Did you find it?"

Lin Xiyue anxiously looked around, her gaze wandering over this desolate place.

Apart from the dust swirling in the air and the messy pile of discarded items on the ground, she saw nothing.

She couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed, so she could only hope that the system could find some clues.

She had initially thought she would be able to see something, but it didn't seem to go as planned.

[No, not yet. Do you think that off-key part might have already been criticized?]

The system responded after a moment of silence.

The system's voice betrayed a hint of worry; it was almost at the center of the battle, but still hadn't found the child.

Lin Xiyue frowned, pondering the system's problems.

Logically speaking, if she could get here at her own speed, then the child who ran away should not only have run earlier but also faster.

But why haven't we encountered Fei Bo yet? That's certainly a bit strange.

"Hmm...actually, I've had that same doubt."

Lin Xiyue spoke slowly.

“But, as you know, Earl told Li Si that if this child encounters Fei Bo, our entire planet might be in trouble. So, the part that escapes will at least cause problems in this area.”

Lin Xiyue's words made the system fall into deep thought.

Indeed, Earl had told them that if the child met Philip, the consequences would be dire.

However, nothing seems to be wrong right now, so this situation is really puzzling. Where did the part of the child that ran away go?

While recalling the conversation between Lin Xiyue and Earl, the system continuously increased the scanning range.

[This is really bad news! I've searched almost every corner around here, but I still can't find the runaway child. Could it be that Li Si's estimation was wrong?]

The system really found it very strange.

The more the system thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. It scanned almost every place in the vicinity several times, but the child seemed to have vanished into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace.

"I don't know either,"

"However, Li Si has always been a meticulous person, especially when it comes to such important matters, he shouldn't make a mistake."

Lin Xiyue shook her head helplessly.

After listening to Lin Xiyue's words, the system still had some doubts, but it also felt that what she said made sense.

After all, Li Si's abilities and experience are evident to all, and it's unlikely that he would make a mistake on such a crucial issue.

Should we continue searching?

The system asked somewhat dejectedly.

It was really tired. Although it was using the host's energy points, it still had to do things.

It not only has to scan the data, but also screen it, which is quite a lot of work.

The system just wants to be a couch potato right now and doesn't want to do anything.
