491. Falling
2030, early morning of June 3. A city on the Gulf Coast of North America.
A line of fire, which looked extremely small from a distance, pierced the atmosphere above the earth and stabbed towards the ground in the direction of gravity.
When you get closer, you can see that the line of fire is actually a burning fireball with a long tail of flames.
The inside of the fireball, on the other hand, is indistinct and seems to have a faint oval outline.
The fireball smashed straight into the city of the coastal city at a terrifying speed, and finally landed in a scenic river that ran through the city, and the fusion of water and fire caused a large amount of steam to rise, and naturally accompanied by a loud bang...... It's just that because it's only about two or three o'clock in the morning, and this viewing river is not too close to a large area of residential buildings, it didn't attract too many people's attention, but after all, someone in the vicinity saw this scene, so they ran close to this viewing river and looked cautiously towards Hanoi.
As soon as the Latino man looked out, he found an unidentified object like a king-sized "egg" on the edge of the riverbank, in the shallow riverbed, half of which was now submerged in the silt at the bottom of the river, and half of it was exposed, surrounded by a circle of evaporating water vapor and white smoke.
What is this?
The man's eyes widened, and he carefully studied the huge "egg" that "fell from the sky" in front of him...... I muttered a little in my heart.
But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see a reason, and when I saw that the "egg" didn't seem to move, I couldn't help but be a little bolder.
So he was courageous, trotted all the way to the shore, took off his shoes, and walked directly to the edge of the shallow riverbed, which was just knee-deep......
The man saw that the steam around him had gradually dissipated, but he knew that the outer wall of this "egg" might not have completely cooled, so he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, but he didn't seem to want to just walk away, just stood in the shallow part of the riverbed and stared dryly, and didn't know what to do for a while......
But I don't know if it's because the "egg" in front of me senses that there is life around it, or is it just a coincidence...... The originally closed eggshell slowly opened a hole at the tip, and the entire "eggshell" seemed to be about to break all at once, and there were several irregular "cracks" on it.
But the strange thing is that although there seem to be a few more "gaps" in the eggshell, the eggs soaked in the river do not have any backflow from the surrounding river, as if there is some invisible force that clearly "separates" the space inside the eggshell from the water flow outside.
Seeing such a change in the "egg", the man who rushed over because of curiosity subconsciously got closer and looked at the eggshell to reveal those "gaps".
It's just that for some reason, no matter how much a man opens his eyes and condenses his vision...... The scene inside the eggshell seems to be still hazy, and the flowers are seen in the fog, and it is impossible to see it really.
Eventually, the bold man finally stretched out a hand, crossed the already hot river, and reached into the "eggshell".
What is amazing is that as soon as the man's hand reached into the eggshell, he found that the originally hot river water had turned into clean and refreshing air, and this arm was still experiencing a slight resistance to the water flow, but the hand that reached in was much more relaxed!
But before he could really find anything in his outstretched hand, he felt as if he was grasping something!
"Hiss......" The man gasped, fear overpowered curiosity, and hurriedly reflexively pulled his hand out, but who knew that the "thing" holding his hand seemed to be unforgiving, and it was actually "dragged" out by him!
It didn't matter if he dragged it, the man's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at the "thing" hanging on his wrist in disbelief, it turned out to be a big hand with dark green skin!
"Outside...... Outside...... Outside ......"
"Aliens!"
The man screamed, and hurriedly used his strength to feed, and with his left hand, he loosened the fingers of the "green-skinned hand" that was holding his right wrist one by one, and then rolled and crawled, fleeing like a chicken in soup.
And the big hand with only dark green skin, which had just held the man's wrist, seemed to be only half-asleep, and suddenly received a stimulating "stress reaction", and after being thrown away, it slowly sank into the eggshell.
But before the "aliens" in the eggshell completely woke up, a few minutes later, countless police cars buzzed in, surround the "egg" that fell on the shallow riverbed!
Countless policemen raised their guns in their hands and stared nervously at this small "eggshell" that had already broken into several huge gaps.
Soon after, the "aliens" inside the eggshell seemed to finally wake up and "break out" from the "eggshell".
At this moment, the Mexican police, who had already blocked the nearby area and surrounded the place, suddenly raised their hearts to their throats!
Immediately, they saw that an "alien" with almost the same body and facial features as earthlings, but only dark green skin, slowly stood up from the creek and looked around with a blank expression.
"Don't move! Hands up! A police captain at the head was bold, holding the gun in his hand, pointing the muzzle at the green-skinned alien, and it seemed that he could shoot at any time, but for some reason, the police side that should have been "overcrowded" seemed to be a little lacking in the captain's temperament, on the contrary, with a slight trembling voice: "Explain your intention!" ”
It's just that the dazed-looking "alien" in front of him is most likely unable to understand Spanish, and the threatening "cross-examination" of the police captain is undoubtedly the most standard chicken-and-duck talk.
The alien looked at these human policemen who pointed their guns at them, and seemed to be able to understand the power of the guns in their hands, so they involuntarily raised their hands and said a lot of "hometown dialects" of their own planet, but found that the other party seemed to be completely unable to understand, so they couldn't help but show a very helpless look on their faces.
Subsequently, he changed to an "official language" that is common in several large star fields, but the surrounding policemen still didn't react, which made this "alien" who had been holding his hands even more helpless.
The police captain also seemed to feel that this alien didn't seem to be so dangerous, and it was not as "aggressive" as the alien invaders in science fiction movies, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but in case the other party would play any conspiracy, he still held a gun and walked step by step across the river that happened to be knee-long, ready to temporarily detain it, and then ask his superiors to wait for the next step.
But who knew that the "alien" who had been holding his hands up and looked deferential, as soon as he saw the police captain walking towards him, he seemed to be about to touch him, but he changed his gentle face and became very anxious, shouting an alien language that no earthling could understand!
If Yan Xiuze, who has no entity and has his own simultaneous translation function, is still here, he must be able to understand that the words that the alien shouted out loudly at this time are......
"Don't touch me!"
