In the North Atlantic, off the coast of Falmouth on the east coast of the United States, four black spheres with a diameter of about 2.5 meters stranded on the beach with the tide.

Then, a typhoon approached, making the beach, which was only occasionally visited by hikers from nearby towns, even more deserted.

Half a day.

The black sphere suddenly opened from the inside, and a curved hatch that fit perfectly into the sphere itself opened upward, and some kind of gas that pressurized the hatch seal also spewed out from the hidden pores in due time.

"Check the gear."

A voice came from one of the spheres and was transmitted to everyone's mind in the form of some kind of electronic signal.

Soon, the person inside the sphere cautiously and carefully walked out of the hatch.

Three people came out of each orb.

It's reminiscent of the space inside the sphere when the hatch is opened—for the most part, the three of them may have been sitting in some kind of posture, or lying down and fixed to the inner wall of the sphere.

"Number 1."

At the man's voice, a member of the team wearing a visual aid with a glowing blue glow on his head quickly scanned everything on the beach.

If we can switch to his perspective at this point, it is not difficult to see that these devices, which resemble the night vision devices worn by special forces, are scanning the beach at some super-fast speed.

This machine has six "camera eyes" of different lengths and many functions at the same time, such as telescope, distance measurement, night vision, biological detection, thermal induction, and dynamic capture......

But it's not always about having more features, the better.

Especially in the case that humans are simply unable to effectively process such a large amount of high-speed image information and data, this kind of function is not only not very helpful to ordinary people, but will make people very uncomfortable.

However, the man known as No. 1 made a judgment in an instant: "There is no threat. ”

As his voice rang out in the channel, he also raised an arm and made a tactical gesture of "no threat detected". This made most of the team members breathe a sigh of relief.

The crowd quickly dispersed on the beach, but the weapons in their hands were not lowered, and several others remained on the alert.

Looking at the beach in front of him that was overcast with clouds and a bleak sea breeze due to the typhoon, one of them said with a little relief: "It seems that we are lucky, that thing has not played this world into hell!" ”

"It's only temporary, don't take it lightly!" The voice that had been giving orders spoke again.

"Well~~~Well~~~ Zero, don't be so nervous! It seems that the message given to us by the 'planet' is not wrong, and the monster that ruined our lives is very weak! Now if we find him, half the win! One of the team members removed his mask, revealing a young, handsome western face.

"Humph!" The man known as 'Zero' snorted coldly and said, "That's a super monster that can devour the entire world with just some flesh and blood split from its body!" ”

Zero's words silenced everyone.

As the elite of the elite selected from the armies and agents of various countries, the members of the squad have undergone numerous simulation training sessions before the operation.

And the 'star', which is now the new home of billions of humans, also told them most of the information about the monster.

Especially since the other party has now lost most of its strength and is in a period of extreme weakness, the news is crucial for humanity!

Otherwise...... How dare those cowardly politicians who are afraid of losing everything do anything against the existence that has already made them fearful?

Although there are many people in the think tanks of various countries who have all kinds of speculations about this matter, they have even speculated that this matter is likely to be a struggle for survival between the 'star' as the doppelganger and the 'boy' as the ontology, which may contain huge risks and conspiracies...... But humanity has no choice.

At least...... They had no choice before the 'stars' that had swallowed up the entire Earth and contained all the surviving humans in the inner hollow.

"Let the landing ball sink to the bottom of the sea, go into hibernation, and everyone hides their weapons and heads inland!" Zero ordered to.

“yes！”

"Yes!"

"Hey!"

“oui！”

"Yes."

With a burst of voices from different languages, but understood by the intellectual-brain translators in everyone's heads, everyone quickly left the beach with their equipment, and the black orbs carrying them closed the hatch again and returned to the ocean under some kind of power, quietly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

……

New York.

In a small park, some children are playing games, laughter and laughter are coming from these chasing children, and some parents are sitting on nearby benches soaking up the sun, looking at this group of cute children with warm smiles.

"Huh?" At this moment, a little boy suddenly saw a figure standing at the edge of the woods in the distance and stopped.

"Hannah?!" When his companion saw him stop, he immediately called out the name of the figure in his line of sight.

So, several children who saw the little girl shouted one after another: "Hannah! Hannah! ”

"Hannah, where have you been lately? School didn't go either! Is it sick? ”

"Let's come and play! Hannah! ”

However, at this moment, the little girl standing at the edge of the woods suddenly turned around and ran towards the woods. This suddenly made a few children a little strange.

But out of some curiosity or a strange concern for their peers, several children who usually have a good relationship with Hannah suddenly broke away from the group of friends and chased after the running figure.

One or two adults saw this scene as well.

However, it was just a chase from the children, and several of them just glanced at it and then lowered their heads to focus on their phones.

This negligence prevented them from spotting the children chasing Hannah through the deep woods of the small park, and soon left the park.

Excitedly or instinctively, the children continued the chase, running out of the park, across the street, around the corner Middle Eastern restaurant, and then through a messy alley to an old apartment building......

"Oh, shit! We lost her! A brown-haired boy in ripped jeans looked around and said in annoyance.

But at this moment, another friend pointed to a figure at a window on the third floor of the apartment building and shouted, "No, she's there!" There she is! ”

Several of the children looked up in the direction he was pointing, just in time to see the little girl standing in front of a window, seemingly looking down at them.

"This isn't Hannah's house, is it? Did she move? A little fat man said strangely.

"Shall we go up and have a look?" Another skinny boy with glasses and suspenders said with some hesitation.

But the two of them are clearly not the kind of children who have ideas.

The strongest of the group was a beautiful little girl with thick red braids, who looked at Hannah behind the window and clutched the curtains and said, "I suspect that Hannah may have been subjected to domestic violence!" That's why I don't go to school and avoid us like this! Let's go up to her! ”

"Home...... Family...... Violent?! Wouldn't we go up like this? In case her father ......" the skinny boy with glasses seemed to stammered in fear, and as a result, he rolled the eyes of several people next to him, and several little boys and two little girls laughed at him.

"Who, who, who's afraid?! Go up, go up! The boy blushed and screamed with red ears.

And so it was.

The children bravely ventured into the old apartment, which even felt like it was on the verge of abandonment......
