Xinhai City is a metropolis located by the sea.

As a natural port city and transportation artery, Xinhai City is quite prosperous. On weekdays, there are often small traders who come here from all over the world to do business, and occasionally there are tourists passing through here, and the degree of crowd distribution is also very high on weekdays, especially in this early summer, when the weather is getting hotter, walking on the crowded streets, you will feel the heat.

However, it is clear that this is not the case in Xinhai City in the past two days.

I don't know why, the once lively streets are now depressed and deserted. The billboard swayed lonely in the wind, like a lonely flag planted on the moon, with a chilling scattered, like a silent old town.

There was not even a single figure in sight on the street, and the cars next to it were leaning sideways on both sides of the road like long iron dragons, and some of them were colliding together, and the bumpers were knocked off, swaying in the wind with a "snap".

From the outside, the place doesn't look like a large city at all, but rather like a post-apocalyptic country village.

And now, there is a group of people walking on the streets of Xinhai City, and the mighty motorcade has re-embellished the city with some vitality.

At the back of the convoy, several people were sitting in the carriage, watching their companions look at each other.

These people are the TV's team of off-site reporters and photographers.

The person at the head is a woman who looks no more than 30 years old, ordinary and looks no different from most ordinary people, and she is a reporter who participated in the recording of this TV program. The photographers next to him are about 30 years old, and they have been eroded for a while, and their appearance is quite vicissitudes.

And right now, the people from these TV stations are gathering together, stupidly looking at the girl sitting cross-legged next to them, full of interest.

"Are you going to shoot next?" The girl chattered, "I'm going to be on camera too, can you take a slightly better picture of me?" ”

Listening to this somewhat inexplicable request, the middle-aged man nicknamed "Brother Long", the boss of the photographer team, showed a helpless expression: "Miss Ji......"

No anti-theft

He sighed: "It's not up to us to decide what to shoot, it's up to us to decide, not to mention that this show is special...... When the time comes, everything will listen to the dispatch from above. ”

As he spoke, Brother Long turned his head to look at the fallen leaves floating outside the carriage, and after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and moved towards the Miss Ji.

"Your conditions are not unacceptable," he whispered, "but I want to ask, can you reveal what the situation of this mission is?" ”

Brother Long smiled bitterly: "This time we know the danger, but we still don't know what kind of danger method it is." Although we are also here ourselves, if we can, we still hope to know a little bit about it......"

Speaking of which, his voice was even a little humble.

As a professional team of photographers, after suddenly asking him to follow the team that called themselves "countermeasures bureaus" and knew at a glance that they were from the authorities, Brother Long guessed that the situation might be more ...... Special.

But he really didn't understand why he needed to let them, the photographers, and reporters come with him this time.

Could it be that it is necessary to reverse the sycamore......

Ahem.

patting his chest, Brother Long glanced at the Miss Ji in the distance.

This Miss Ji is quite beautiful, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, and her facial features are also quite exquisite.

However, Brother Long still thinks that he is the most beautiful compared to her and his wife.

It's not that it's blowing, it's just that Brother Long really thinks so.

Right now, this Miss Ji is sitting not far from them, looking at the camera that Brother Long was holding before, and cautiously looking at this high-end goods.

After being asked this question, Miss Ji raised her head, glanced at Brother Long, and said very easily: "Just call me Ji Qianqin, there is no need to call me so formal." ”

After briefly correcting Brother Long's title, Ji Qianqin said, "This time? This time it's to deal with xenos. ”

"Alien ...... Seed? Long Gomo rubbed his chin, "What kind of new missile is it or a cult?" ”

Hearing this, Miss Ji put down the camera in her hand and said with a smile: "It's not, it's a monster." ”

"It's like those foreign movies, those man-eating demons and monsters," Miss Ji said very easily, "vampires, werewolves, evil spirits and the like." ”

Listening to her lightly written tone, Brother Long, who was still holding the phone, shook his hand and almost threw the phone out of his palm.

The middle-aged man, who was already over thirty years old, pretended to be calm: "Yes...... What theme park did Xinhai open? Regarding the supernatural kind, what kind of alien creatures are there foreign actors to play? ”

Ji Qianqin: "No, it's a serious monster." Well, I have a photo here, so if you don't believe me, you can take a look. ”

As she spoke, she handed over a mobile phone to Brother Long to show them.

Brother Long took the phone tremblingly, and the companions next to him gathered beside him, looking at the photos in the phone one by one.

As soon as he took a look, Brother Long gasped.

A boy with no strands of skin on his body, but his complexion was so pale that he could almost see the blood vessels, his long fangs peeking out from between his lips, a little scarlet blood, and his heart beating in his chest almost jumped out of his body.

This kind of shoe store photo that can be placed in District 51 dealt a heavy blow to Brother Long, who was not very mentally prepared, and irreversibly shook his fragile three views.

However, each of the subsequent photos made his face more and more pale.

Like a muscular man with spikes on his back, a flame man wrapped in flames all over his body, a woman with spider joints behind him, and a squirming red muscle mass...... Each one is challenging Brother Long's psychological limits.

"This ...... It's synthetic, right? Brother Long held his mobile phone and said with luck.

Many of these photos are the types that he feels scared at a glance, and if such a thing is real, then Brother Long feels that the first time he sees that kind of monster, he will explode in place due to incontinence......

It's really scary!

And Ji Qianqin shrugged: "No, it's all true." ”

"In fact, this is what you need to face this time," she took back her phone from Brother Long's hand, "but you don't have to worry too much, on the one hand, you only need to take notes and instruct us on how to use this professional equipment, and on the other hand, ......"

Ji Qianqin played with her mobile phone and said with a smile: "There is a 'secret weapon' in our area. ”

Secret...... Weapons?

Before Brother Long could ask, there was a sudden "click", and the convoy stopped on the street next to it.

In a moment of upside-down shaking, Brother Long realized that they had finally reached their destination.

One hand pulled the car open, and the light from outside exploded like a grenade, and the fragments splattered into their eyes, causing them to subconsciously squint their eyes to combat the strong light.

In the bright sunlight, Brother Long vaguely saw a figure standing in the air outside.

Because that figure was against the sun, Brother Long couldn't see what that person looked like, and he could only see the black trench coat he was wearing that seemed to be as deep and dark as it could absorb sunlight, and the red scarf around his neck.

I don't know why, when he saw this figure, Brother Long felt as if he had seen him standing on the treetops at sunset, spreading his black wings to cover the remnant sun, and turning into a black sun...... Crow-like.

Strange and wicked.

Brother Long subconsciously thought so in his heart.

Just as he was thinking this, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Thank you, we have reached our destination, please take a break and continue shooting." ”

Hearing this voice, Ji Qianqin stretched her waist, carefully put down the expensive equipment, and then staggered down from the carriage: "Boss, when will it start?" ”

The man's voice, whom she called her boss, barely fluctuated: "Tomorrow morning, or if something happens, tonight." ”

"It's all up to the Pale Lady," he said, "and if she opens the barrier like the 'Human Watch' on the Smoky Mountains before, I'm afraid the action will need to be brought forward." ”

"Enchantment...... Ji Qianqin seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Yanxia Mountain was okay that time, but this time, is there really an enchantment that can be expanded to an area near a city?" ”

Hearing this, the man said calmly, "Don't underestimate the 'Pale Lady'. She is a 'catastrophic' xenomorph, conservatively estimated to be no less than the Red Spider. Not only that, but everything about her is buried under the veil of fate, and the clues cannot be peeked into. Even I don't know much about her. ”

"And this time, besides the 'Pale Lady', maybe we'll have to deal with more than just one monster."

After saying this, the man glanced at Brother Long.

And Brother Long, who was standing next to Ji Qianqin and the man, was looking blankly at the two chatting people.

Who are they? What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word when I speak the same language?

Brother Long's heart flashed through countless similar questions.

And the man also seemed to sense Brother Long's intentions, turned around, and said in a loud voice: "May I ask if you have time next, Mr. Chen Shilong?" ”

Chen Shilong is Brother Long's real name.

Brother Long, who was suddenly called by his name, was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said, "Yes...... Some. ”

The man bowed slightly: "Then can you go to a place with us a little?" It's not too far, just a distance away. ”

Hearing this, Chen Shilong was a little confused.

He stole a glance at the man's expression, but for some reason, he only felt that the person in front of him was completely unaware of the slightest change in his emotions, like the coldest and hardest ice, floating on the vast ocean.

Brother Long subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He turned his head to look at the driver in the car, but the driver didn't say anything, just looked at the road in the distance without squinting, as if he was warning something.

Perhaps seeing his uneasiness, the man tugged at the corners of his mouth and reluctantly pulled out a smile: "Don't be too anxious." ”

"I am the leader of this operation, and you may call me a 'prophet,'" the man said, "and this time I need your ability and skill, and see if I can train some of my subordinates and some ...... 'friends' a little." ”

Although he said so, Brother Long was still a little vigilant.

Looking at the man in front of him who has been straining his face and seems to have no feelings, it always makes people shudder.

But he didn't have much to do.

As a worker, he was sent to this place, and since he had a lot of money, it was difficult for him to refuse.

Therefore, the main thing is that this guy in front of him is not doing anything illegal or criminal, and Brother Long feels that he can probably accept it.

…… However, if you are involved with a government like the "Countermeasures Bureau", you probably won't be engaged in illegal industries, right?

Brother Long, who thought of this, nodded, reluctantly reluctantly let go of his heart and followed the prophet's side.

The prophet walked in front, Ji Qianqin walked behind, and Brother Long walked in the middle, and the three of them just headed towards a certain place.

On the way, the Prophet took out a notebook and said calmly, "Mr. Chen should be at a loss now, and he doesn't know what to do. As you have mentioned before, this work will be quite dangerous, but please rest assured that we at the Tomorrow and Countermeasures Bureau will protect your safety. ”

"What you need to do is to make a complete and comprehensive record, keep all the disasters in Xinhai City on file, and then publish them."

Glancing at Brother Long, the prophet said in a surging voice: "I believe in your ability, and I also believe in your character, as a dedicated and diligent journalist, I also trust your professional ability." ”

"I am confident that this record will make your name remembered in history as witnesses of the new era," the Prophet said. ”

You make me believe......

Brother Long sighed: "I don't know what to believe. ”

"But I think you're probably going to do a big deal with such fanfare, evacuating the local people and arranging a photography team," he touched his tools, "and if nothing else, if it's just a record, then I'll be useful." As for what is famous in history, I don't care much, it's just because it's work, and work needs to be taken seriously. ”

Listening to Brother Long's voice, the prophet bowed slightly.

"In that case, please come in," he said, half a position sideways, "As the captain of the photography team, please come to this 'combat meeting' together." ”

"This is something you should know as well, or to be more accurate...... This is the key that humanity all over the world should understand and deal with! ”

"Record, please start with this meeting."
