Chapter 1: Addicts

Remote mountain villages, dark streets.

A lonely figure strolling along a country road, looking very strange in the moonlight.

However, the figure did not pay any attention to this, and continued to walk along the country road, which was not called a road at all, towards the nearest village.

To be honest, in today's modern society, where there is almost no shortage of energy, it is rare to see such a small village without street lights at night.

Or rather, with the strong push of TPC, country roads without street lights are often synonymous with "anomalies".

And on this earth, there are only those who will take the initiative to come to this area to solve the anomaly, except for the victory team, and only the extraterrestrial alliance remains.

簌簌簌......

Seeing the lonely figure walking towards the village step by step, a strange sound suddenly came from the village not far away.

In the next second, a "monster" like a dried corpse appeared not far away, and rushed towards the direction of the figure without hesitation.

"Is it already in the second phase?"

Frowning slightly, the figure revealed his true face by a little moonlight.

This person who dared to come here alone was none other than Ryan, a cosmic man who had been promoted to the captain of the extraterrestrial alliance's special operations team.

Zizizi......

With a slight twist of his wrist, a strong electric light was generated in Ryan's hand.

The corpse-like monster on the other side had no resistance at all, and was instantly knocked to the ground by Ryan's electric lightning.

However, Ryan did not let his guard down because of this, but looked more seriously in the direction of the village.

The fact that the monster in front of him can enter the second stage can only show that there is definitely more than just such a "monster" in this village.

And what happened next proved Ryan's prediction.

"Whew!"

With an angry roar, a behemoth nearly three meters tall suddenly rushed out.

Compared to the previous corpse-like monster, the behemoth's muscles were knotted together in an unusual growth posture, looking more like the roots of a century-old tree.

"It's good that it didn't evolve into a real monster!"

The moment he saw this behemoth, Ryan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with those monsters that are often tens of meters away, this behemoth at the moment is a bit pediatric.

Ryan didn't even use the long-range power armor that the Extraterrestrial Alliance had specifically allocated to him.

Zizizi......

Raising his hand again, a bolt of lightning shot at the behemoth, and this time the gathered electrical energy was obviously beyond the normal value.

Even a monster with amazing resistance, such as a behemoth, definitely doesn't want to experience the horror of "electrotherapy".

"Whew!"

Lean down, dodge and dash......

The behemoth exhibits a kind of vigor that is completely inconsistent with its own body type, trying to kill the tiny human on the other side in this way.

"Heh, I forgot to tell you, I'm not actually a normal person."

A faint smile rose at the corners of his mouth, and Ryan's body floated at this moment.

Thundered......

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning slashed down from the sky, completely illuminating the night.

And under the bombardment of the lightning in the sky, the behemoth didn't even have time to let out a scream and scream, and it was split into a pile of coke.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Almost at the same time that Ryan took out the behemoth.

More "monsters" were awakened and rushed out of the small village.

Although most of these monsters exist like dried corpses, few are as strong as before.

But there are too many of them, and if Ryan continues to drag it out, he will be exhausted to death if he is not killed.

Fortunately, Ryan didn't intend to kill these monsters.

"Jia'er!"

Hearing Ryan's whisper from Ryan, who was suspended in mid-air, a shadow flashed in the night sky illuminated by lightning.

Immediately afterwards, one after another shock bombs were thrown from the air, and the group of monsters who exploded directly turned on their backs.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Compared to the thunderous lightning bolts before, these shock bombs are not too lethal, but can show an astonishing radiation range.

It's just that after a round of throwing, there is no monster on the scene that can continue to stand.

"It's just a bunch of 'addicts', is it necessary to waste so many shock bombs?"

Reaching out to cover his slightly stinging eyes, Ryan raised his head helplessly and shouted at the sky.

Call!

A black shadow flashed and appeared in front of Ryan.

"A bunch of self-depraved fellows, it would be a mercy for them to send them to hell early."

Jia'er, who had grown into a girl, tilted her head and expressed disdain for Ryan's "soft-heartedness".

"I knew it was you again!"

"Call your master back, I don't want to talk to you!"

Seeing this, Ryan didn't bother to talk nonsense with this Jia'er, signaling that the other party could go offline.

"I'm sorry, she just has a bad temper, but she still has good intentions."

The disdain on her face instantly turned to gentleness, and Jia'er, who had completed the personality switch, bowed slightly apologetically to Ryan.

"It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."

Reaching out and rubbing Jia'er's head, Ryan's tone was also much softer.

Because the obedient and sensible girl in front of him always unconsciously reminds him of his sister who is touring the world.

I don't know if it's Ryan's delusion, he always feels that Maya seems to be aware of his identity.

It's a pity that Ryan, who felt sorry for the other party and recognized her, just silently transferred his feelings for his sister to Jia'er.

"And what are these guys going to do?"

Tilting her head slightly, Jia'er looked up at Ryan and asked.

Because she joined the extraterrestrial alliance as a "trainee", Jia'er has only been a temporary supernumerary until now.

Not only are the processing processes of the extraterrestrial alliance unclear, but even the relatively open internal archives and materials are also still being studied.

"Except for the guy I just hacked to death, the others are just 'addicts'."

"I've called the nearest medical facility, and at least I can save their lives."

Sighing slightly, Ryan knew that this was the limit of what he could do.

After all, the two of them are not here for these "addicts" at all.

The culprit that led to the emergence of these "addicts" is the real goal of their trip.

"Let's go!"

"Let me see who is secretly planting the flower of Zigela, even at the cost of human life!"
