"Nowadays, the border bases are all strangling the black bone insects, but they are extremely capable of reproducing, and a large batch of new insects will be produced in two days or so."
"But Qin Qi, you don't need to worry too much. According to my analysis, a situation like this with black bone insects won't last too long."
"The samples for the study were taken from the black bone insects in the vicinity of our four bases. There isn't much difference in the values, so if you don't understand any of the values, you can ask me directly when the time comes."
Lu Chuanxi was always quiet, but when he mentioned research-related content, it was like he had flipped a certain switch.
Qin Qi quietly listened without stopping him.
Behind him, Ya Xiao didn't have much of a reaction when he heard the words black bone insects, but a few moments later, he remembered that all four border bases had suffered from the insect wave crisis after the spring meeting.
Ya Xiao carefully recalled the plot.
After the attack of the insect wave, the Sixth Base was still safe and sound, but the Eighth Base, which had always been the safest border base and suffered the least infestation by the insects, had become the main target of the insect attack.
In order to protect the base, the marshal of the Eighth Base, Lu Chuanxi, was buried in the front line and died. This was only the beginning of the disaster of the Eighth Base.
It was also unknown if the change in the black bone insects this time had anything to do with the insect wave.
Ya Xiao was a bit lost in thought, but he soon stopped thinking about it. Unfamiliar human sacrifices and so on, as long as it doesn't affect the demon's absorption of demon value, it doesn't need to be cared about!
The fights and killings, living in the death-shrouded demon world, Ya Xiao has long been accustomed to it.
The tip of Ya Xiao's tail behind him drooped down, and he stood next to Qin Qi. It was at this time that the other two marshals arrived late. Before they even entered the door, they could hear the sound of the two people disliking each other outside.
"Yo, isn't this the most punctual marshal among our border bases, Wenbor? Why did you come stepping on the clock today as well?" A mocking voice rang out.
"Marshal Wista, please mind your own business first."
Even if the person hadn't come in yet, one could imagine the smile of the speaker.
Qin Qi and Lu Chuanxi both had a look of familiarity and when all four marshals had arrived, Ya Xiao and the other butlers retreated without disturbing their meal.
The butlers, who maintained their elegant and decent behavior in front of their employers, obviously relaxed quite a bit after leaving the room.
"Ya Xiao, did you meet with those two butler representatives?" Bolton, the butler with the silver combed-back hair, asked. As a former butler representative, he cared a lot about how Ya Xiao got along with those two butler representatives.
"Met them."
We're sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we're going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Ya Xiao obediently replied.
"Jtfc Jtfc tjr j mbiv ojmf jcv j tjgv tfjga. Cglfi lr ufcaif bc atf regojmf yea rqfjxr tfg wlcv. Slatfg bcf lr cba fjrs ab vfji klat."

Yan Chi rarely didn't laugh at Bolton, but smiled at Ya Xiao obediently, "For the first fifteen days of the spring meeting, there are only two things for us butlers to do, one is to take care of our employers and let them attend the meeting comfortably every day."
"The other is the butler representative meeting to be held the day after tomorrow. You don't have to rush, we're all behind you. Feel free to contact us if you have any problems."
Next to him, Gabe also kept nodding his head.
Ya Xiao could feel these three butlers' concern for himself. He curved his eyes, inexplicably having the feeling that these three were on a united front with himself.
This companion-like feeling was unfamiliar, but Ya Xiao didn't hate it.
The gathering ended quickly.
The marshals had already met in the afternoon.
This meal was more for bonding, but of course, since there was little affection for each other. After the meal, the marshals had no thoughts of enjoying a nice evening together, and each left in their own hovercars.
Wista wanted to chat with his good brother Qin Qi for a few more minutes, but he was busy knitting a scarf and was in a hurry to get back, so he casually said a few words and slipped away.
Qin Qi didn't care.
Ya Xiao sat next to him looking out the car window at the night scene. Recalling the reaction of the three people earlier, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Happy?"
Qin Qi rubbed the eyeball in his hand and leaned back on the back of the seat. His eyes were obviously closed but it was as if he could feel Ya Xiao's thoughts.
"Yeah, the marshal should be happy too."
Ya Xiao could sense that Qin Qi enjoyed spending time with the other three marshals, even though sometimes their interactions weren't as harmonious as those of typical human friends in the traditional sense.
Qin Qi did not deny Ya Xiao's words.
The atmosphere inside the hovercar inexplicably surged with a cozy ambiance as if time had slowed down a lot.
The hovercar slowly came to a stop.
Ya Xiao followed behind Qin Qi step by step. However, after a few steps, the man in front of him hesitated for a moment and then continued walking towards the entrance of the building.
Ya Xiao seemed to feel something and looked towards the side not far away.
There were three young men standing there.
They obviously didn't expect to suddenly bump into Qin Qi here. All three of their faces were a bit odd. The tallest black-haired man's body was tense as if he was suppressing something.
It was the younger brother.
Why was the protagonist group here?
Ya Xiao suddenly remembered that the protagonist group was on good terms with the Third Base Marshal's son. Now, they should be coming over to meet that young master?
"Marshal?"
Ya Xiao quickly walked a few steps and lowered his voice, carefully observing Qin Qi's expression, but while he could usually tell a few emotions from the man's face, he couldn't tell half of it now.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Qi's expression was calm as if the chance encounter just now failed to leave any traces in his heart.
Ya Xiao noticed that the TH value on Qin Qi's wristwatch screen really didn't fluctuate. He thought about it and shook his head a little, "Nothing."
If the villain wasn't abnormal, he wouldn't need to say anything more, right?
Meanwhile, Wei Shi didn't expect that they would run into Marshal Qin so coincidentally. What surprised him even more was that Marshal Qin just glanced at them and left with his butler without any reaction.
Wei Shi noticed Qin Chen's suddenly tense body and frowned with worry, then raised his hand and caressed his back, "Don't be nervous, Marshal Qin has already left."
Qin Chen's wounds were vaguely painful. The image of the other party brutally pressing himself against the wall when he lost control so long ago was vivid in his mind. He licked his dry lips and let out a hmmm.
"Gert messaged me. He's just checked in with Marshal Guwen and will be down soon."
Wei Shi deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to let Qin Chen dwell too much on his emotions towards Marshal Qin, but it reminded him of something.
Wei Shi looked at Qin Chen and his little brother Ah Xing and his tone became much more solemn: "Gert is the son of the Third Base Marshal and is the only access we have to the upper echelons of the officers at this stage. We need to check the clues, and we absolutely need to maintain this relationship!"
"Got it, boss!"
Ah Xing, who had a band-aid on his face, positively raised his hand.
Qin Chen's thoughts were pulled back as well. He looked down at Wei Shi and nodded seriously.
After accompanying the villain back to his room, Ya Xiao was still concerned about Qin Qi's mood, but since Qin Qi's behavior was the same like he really wasn't affected, Ya Xiao slightly lowered his guard and waited until it was time for Qin Qi to go to bed before he left the room.
[Fourth uncle, how is Sheng Cheng's side?]
[Sheng Cheng has now traveled to the club, wanting to join the club.] The system answered quickly.
Ya Xiao looked down at the time. He thought for a moment and unlocked the door to his room. Then, he asked Fourth Uncle to help him guard the door with a distraction.
[Host, what are you going to do now?]
The system said suspiciously.
Ya Xiao's blue eyes were permeated with a smile as he lengthened his tone and said happily, "Of course, it's to meet Sheng Cheng ah."
The nightclubs in the central city were generally focused on revelry, but the Dark Night Club had to have enough stature dues to join and was more upscale and atmospheric compared to the other clubs.
Sheng Cheng was wearing a white suit with a bunch of colorful roses in his pocket. With his pale skin and rosy lips, he really looked like a rich man at first glance.
He looked at the signboard of the glorious club, his expression revealing a few hints of gloom. The club that the adult had asked him to join was this club.
Sheng Cheng suppressed the various emotions in his heart and struck an elegant pose. He was about to lift his foot and step into the club when he was accidentally bumped by a person in the next second.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
The young man's voice was crisp and clear, carrying a sincere apology.
Sheng Cheng's heart thumped at the words.
His spine instantly tingled. Why was this tone so familiar? But the two men's voices were clearly different.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a young man with his hair braided in a scorpion braid.
The young man was slightly taller than the person he had in mind, and his appearance seemed more mature. Although their eyes were both blue, this person's eyes exuded an inexplicable charm, and they seemed more affectionate.
Ah, it wasn't the same person.
Sheng Cheng instantly relaxed his heart and was just about to wave his hand away when he heard the man ask, "Are you here to join the club as well?"
"If so, we can be together."
The man's tone was particularly sincere.
Sheng Cheng looked at the smile on his face. He suddenly had an ominous premonition and inexplicably shivered.
