Xin Xiao, vice minister of national security, walked up to her daughter, stroked her cheek, and said, "What's the matter, good daughter, it's like seeing a ghost." ”

Xinna shook her head in disbelief: "You told me before that you were just an ordinary staff member of the Ministry of State Security. ”

Xin Xiao said helplessly: "To do our business, identity needs to be kept confidential. This is especially true for people with certain positions. As a last resort, you can't let the people around you, even your closest family members, know your position. This is a regulation of the Ministry of State Security, and I am not trying to deceive you. ”

Sina came home a few days ago and her mother informed her that her father was working in the field. Sina knew that her father was away from home for a long time. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and she never thought that she would see her father here. I also learned that my father was actually the deputy minister of the Ministry of State Security. With mixed feelings, she was speechless for a moment, she pounced on her, replacing all words with a long hug.

Hang Yi and the others were all stunned, a little unable to accept it for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Sina's father pointed to a few chairs and said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

Hang Yi and the others sat down with Nalan Zhimin, Ke Yongliang, and Mei Ting. In the huge underground secret base of the National Security Bureau, there are only these dozen people now. The rest of the staff have been temporarily recused. It can be seen that what is going to be said next is by no means ordinary.

Xin Na's father said in a deep voice: "I deeply regret the previous attack on the TV station, which caused your friend Han Feng to be killed due to a misunderstanding with the military. But please believe that we have only only learned the truth of this matter.

"Just after 7 p.m. today, a staff member of the National Security Service received an anonymous email from abroad. The sender claimed that their group would attack the city's CZ television station in an hour......"

Ji Kairui interrupted Xinna's father: "Since you know that there is an organization that wants to attack the TV station, you have not taken effective measures to prevent it? ”

Sinna's father sighed, "First, we can't tell if it's a threat or a prank; Second, the email did not specify the form in which the TV station would be attacked. Third, because you're going to be doing a TV show, people from the military and the NSA have already been there, and they're taking strict precautions. But what we didn't expect was that the attack happened without warning. At that time, dozens of fireballs resembling small meteors suddenly shot into the TV station from nowhere, and they were extremely powerful and destructive. We didn't have time to do anything to prevent or remediate, and the building collapsed in a matter of minutes. ”

Hearing the word "fireball", everyone's hearts trembled. They remembered the underground laboratory in the town of Troitsk, and Helen had come up with such a trick. But Hai Lin is now their companion, and at the time of the incident, Hai Lin was with Sun Yuchen and Ji Kairui, and it must have nothing to do with her. So in order to prevent Hailin from being implicated, everyone didn't say anything, and they didn't show a strange look.

Sun Yuchen glanced at Hai Lin and found that she was biting her lips, her face was solemn, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from her sideburns, obviously thinking of something important. Sun Yuchen used the mind-reading technique and heard the voice in Hailin's heart:

They actually did it...... In this way, the "plan" is about to be implemented......

Sun Yuchen was extremely surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what the "plan" that Hailin was thinking about meant. However, what Sina's father continued to say interrupted his thoughts.

"After the attack, we were unable to find any trace of the attackers. But it certainly has nothing to do with you. But the military doesn't have any of this information, so they still mistakenly think that you did it. I immediately contacted the Ministry of Defense and the military's top brass and arranged for Director Nalan to bring you here. Now you can rest assured that it is completely safe. ”

The crowd understood. Ji Kairui asked, "You just said that you have learned the truth about this matter. So, who exactly attacked the TV station? ”

Xinna's father took a deep breath: "Since you are the ones who went through this and have been disturbed by other things just now, you obviously don't have time to browse the news on the Internet. You certainly don't know what happened around the world in the hour before — to be precise, at the same time as the attack on CZ TV. ”

Everyone looked at him stunned. Xinna's father motioned for Mei Ting to turn on a computer connected to a large LCD monitor. Mei Ting clicked on a portal with a wireless mouse, and more than a dozen important news popped up, occupying almost all the content of the website page. They roughly skimmed through it, and the news were:

New York in the United States was attacked in a mysterious attack, and Lady Liberty's right hand holding the torch was blown up;

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, was attacked by a mysterious fireball, and the spire was seriously damaged;

The Egyptian pyramids were attacked by a bizarre attack, and the Sphinx had only half of its face left;

Dubai's Burj Khalifa was attacked by a mysterious fireball, and the 108-story platform was severely damaged;

……

There are dozens of news behind it, and everyone is already frightened and uneasy. Lu Hua swallowed his saliva: "Oh my God...... The whole world has been hit by similar attacks. ”

"There are probably more than 50 cities around the world that have been attacked – almost all at the same time. There is no doubt that this was a planned, premeditated terrorist attack. And it is clear that it is impossible for ordinary terrorist organizations to do this. The attacker can only be - a superpower. Nalan Jimin said.

"The Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, ......," Sun Yuchen said, shaking his head, "these are all world-famous buildings." CZ TV in Congzhou City is not comparable to these famous attractions, why was it attacked? ”

"Isn't it obvious why?" "Because we're in there." ”

"If the attackers were targeting us, what about these attractions? It can't all be all of the 13 classes of superpowers, right? ”

Lei Ao was speechless for a moment. Xinna's father said: "Our current analysis is like this. You're going on TV at 8 p.m. tonight, and it's almost world news. The attackers' targets may have been initially intended to attack you on CZ TV. But they later decided that it was better to make a big deal and attract the attention of the whole world anyway. ”

"Possibly." Ji Kairui agrees with this analysis. "But the question is, what is the purpose of these attackers? Attacking us may have something to do with this competition. But what's the point of attacking world-famous attractions? ”

Sina's father shook his head and said, "The motives of these people are not clear for the time being. They did not put forward any conditions, it seemed that it was only a provocation aimed at attracting the attention of the whole world in order to prove their existence. ”

"Provocation?" Ji Carrey repeats the word.

Xinna's father took another deep breath and said, "That's right. And I'm not just talking about this attack. ”

He pulled a USB stick out of his coat pocket. "This is what appeared at the gate of the NSA after the attack, and it was in an envelope at the time. Our technician checked it, and the USB flash drive did not carry any virus, just an ordinary USB flash drive. But the content is anything but ordinary, and it can even be said that it is terrifying. ”

Everyone hasn't looked at the contents of the USB flash drive yet, and they are already a little frightened. It's a pity that sitting in front of them is the deputy minister of state security, who could not be joking, and he could not be alarmist.

Xinna's father handed the USB flash drive to Ke Yongliang, asked him to plug the USB flash drive into the computer, and then played the video inside. He first vaccinated everyone: "The following content may cause you some physical or psychological discomfort, please try to be patient. ”

Everyone became nervous, and Xina involuntarily grabbed Hang Yi's arm. The video started playing, and the first image that appeared on the LCD made them pause their breathing.

In an iron cage, there is an extremely ugly, disgusting monster. It looks like a Komodo dragon (the largest giant lizard in existence), but on either side of the head, there are two heads. The three heads spit out the letter together, which was terrifying to the extreme. Lu Hua, who has a phobia of disgusting creatures, just glanced at it, and the hairs on his whole body stood up.

Then the screen switches. A group of tigers, covered in crocodile scales, did not make a tiger roar, but a low, terrifying sound. What's even more terrifying is that they are biting at a yak that has been dead for several days, which has rotted and seems to have become a scavenger. Lu Hua twisted his head away, not daring to look any further. The three girls, Xin Na, Shu Fei and Song Qi, all covered their mouths and almost vomited.

The screen switched again. Hundreds of mutated monkeys appeared in front of everyone. Their bodies are covered in spikes and they have a pair of sharp horns on their heads. It looks like a combination of monkeys, hedgehogs, and goats, and it's like a bunch of demons from hell. It is no exaggeration to say this, because these mutant monkeys are all hideous, fierce, and violent. They are all carnivores, tearing hundreds of live chickens.

These cruel and disgusting images are really uncomfortable to the extreme. Sina was about to tell her father to stop playing the video, when suddenly, an extremely shocking image appeared in front of their eyes.

A dinosaur – a Tyrannosaurus rex – to be precise, appears on the screen. It's the same as in the movies, huge, fierce, and strong. Just the look in its eyes makes people shudder.

Song Qi couldn't help but exclaim: "This is ...... Dinosaur? Real dinosaurs? Not made by computer special effects? ”

Sinna's father clicked the mouse to pause and said to them, "That's right, after our technicians have identified the dinosaurs in this video, including the other animals you just saw, are real creatures. I don't know how these mutated animals and extinct animals were created. But the most terrifying thing is the content that follows, so you can read it next. ”

The video continues to play. This time the picture is a long shot, and at first everyone didn't see what it was - a bit like a black desert, very vast. The black "sand" is surging, swimming, and even forming "dunes". As the camera zoomed in, everyone saw that this desert was actually composed of countless black rats. They are each other's food, biting and devouring each other. Those who survived were the most brutal and ferocious "rat killers".

Lu Hua couldn't hold back any longer, he "vomited" and quickly covered his mouth. Mei Ting hurriedly signaled the location of his bathroom. Lu Hua rushed in and vomited wildly. Xinna's father pauses the scene again.

After a while, Lu Hua's face turned pale and said, "These mutant rats, we have encountered before. ”

"That's right, in another dimension." "We almost became food for them. ”

Xinna's father and Nalan Jimin looked at each other and asked, "Another dimension?" What's going on? ”

"It's a long story, let's finish watching this video first." Hang Yi said.

Xinna's father said: "The rat is the last part of the video. However, it is worth noting the last picture. ”

He clicked play again. After the horde of rats, the scene turned pitch black. After a few seconds, a line of white subtitles appears on the screen:

March 23.

Then the video finishes. Lei Ao was stunned and asked, "What does March 23 mean?" ”

Sinna's father said, "How did you feel after watching the video just now? If this is a trailer for a horror movie, the final number usually represents the 'release date', right? ”

The last trace of blood on Lu Hua's face faded: "What do you mean......"

Xinna's father nodded, "If I'm not mistaken." What this video wants to tell us is that on March 23rd, all these monsters in the video will appear in our world. ”
