"Oh no, the cat ran off!"
A cry of alarm rang out.
"Give me back my cat!"
"It won't get far. The training base is only so big," Lieutenant Chen said, his smile growing even wider. "Once you finish your test, we'll naturally return the cat to you."
Gao Neng's expression finally darkened.
It was even darker than the Examiners' faces had been earlier.
'Did I take it too far?'
'Without Gao Xiaomeng, can I still make this machine explode?'
Gao Neng said nothing.
Not far away, a few people had already brought over two intermediate-level testing machines. They lined them up and began to inspect them carefully.
"Lieutenant Chen, inspection complete! No problems. This one absolutely will not explode!" the soldier in charge of the inspection reported after finishing.
