Chapter 211: Chapter 73: Chip Disappeared, Miao Miao Fell Asleep
Although Du Xixi’s condition has improved, she is still severely injured even under the protection of 2569’s barrier. Even if she wakes up now, supported by her spiritual talent, she won’t be able to get out of bed and move around in the short term.
Therefore, Du Xixi knows nothing about the current situation of 2569 and Miao Miao.
Upon hearing Du Xixi say this, Ke Lian paused in handing over the apple slice, and the hesitation inadvertently revealed was immediately caught by Du Xixi, who frowned and asked, "What exactly happened to Miao Miao and 2569?"
Ke Lian smiled, and only when Du Xixi reluctantly ate the remaining half of the apple slice did he show a slight seriousness, saying in a soft voice, "Miao Miao’s condition is somewhat strange. Although there’s no longer any danger to life, she still hasn’t woken up and is being cared for by several professional veterinarians, so there shouldn’t be any major problems. As for 2569..."
Ke Lian continued under Du Xixi’s somewhat anxious gaze, "2569’s body has turned into pieces. Your brother sent Zhang Xiong to look for them, and the pieces are all there, but the chip... is missing."
Whether it’s for Mecha or Robots, the chips housed within them are extremely important. Each chip not only stores all the data and memories but can also help Mechas and Robots respond appropriately to different situations.
Losing the chip means losing all the data and memories, as well as losing the basic qualifications as Mechas and Robots. Damage or disappearance of the chip is tantamount to directly formatting them.
Du Xixi, although not very knowledgeable about this world’s Mechas and Robots, still knows that the chip is unquestionably important for 2569. Without the chip, merely collecting fragments is probably useless.
"Hmm, I understand." Du Xixi takes a deep breath, closes her eyes momentarily, "Since it’s not in the ruins, it’s been taken by someone."
Ke Lian nodded, clearly agreeing with Du Xixi’s idea.
Everything that happens in the Ke Family will be recorded by the internal security system. Even if the monitoring system is destroyed by external forces, what happened will never be erased. They are automatically copied by preset programs into multiple copies, then dispersed and stored within each system internally.
"Some ants can’t resist trying to shake the mountain and become the master." Ke Lian chuckled softly, clearly having some speculation about the destination of 2569’s chip. Du Xixi was momentarily stunned, leaning lightly against the hospital pillow, coldly saying, "And some moths attempt to gnaw away the foundation walls, establishing themselves as kings."
The door to the ward was knocked from outside, indicating that Du Xixi needed to go for an examination. Ke Lian then stood up and gently kissed Du Xixi’s forehead.
"Don’t worry, you have me and Chen Yin."
Du Xixi lowered her eyes, smiling silently.

By the time Du Xixi could get out of bed, the two children in her belly were almost nine months old. Her slender figure paired with the large belly was quite a striking contrast.
Sometimes, when Du Xixi merely got out of bed and took a few steps, medical staff would step forward to stop her, worried that she might accidentally bump into something. If Du Xixi was "disobedient" and walked a few more steps, by the time Ke Lian came to accompany her in the afternoon, the medical staff would "complain" to him.
This left Du Xixi feeling quite helpless. She always had a good gauge of her own body and knew she wasn’t so fragile as to be unable to walk a few steps.
Yet, she also understood that her current months were special, and having just recovered from a severe illness, she accepted everyone’s special care powerlessly, only moving within a safe range every day before quickly returning to lie back in bed.
Du Xixi’s current ward has been moved to the obstetrics and gynecology department. Although the due date is still some time away, Ke Lian and Ke Xing both feel that waiting earlier is not a bad idea. What if Du Xixi suddenly goes into labor?
On this particular morning, Ke Lian routinely went to work at the Military Department, while Ke Xing went home to fetch some familiar items from the ruins by Du Xixi’s side, like the 2569 brand pillow, and also the three fur balls of the Iron-eating Beast.
Bringing them can help Du Xixi relieve boredom in the hospital.
Just as Du Xixi lay on the hospital bed, contemplating whether to daydream or sleep today, the usually busy obstetrics and gynecology director finally found time to come chat with Du Xixi.
She is an old acquaintance of Du Xixi; Du Xixi’s previous pregnancy checks were all conducted by this director. So when they talk, there isn’t the typical reverence and constraint shown by ordinary doctors towards Du Xixi.
