22 Another threshold
Tu Ran thought of the elevator in his apartment.
Tsk, can't compare, can't compare......
A mechanical voice then sounded, "Pioneer Xi Chunzhi, I have detected that your heart rate is higher than normal and has reached the brink of anger. Here, I would like to remind you that anger is harmful to the body, and can prevent you from making timely and accurate judgments, which is not good for the rest of the trip, and I hope you will adjust in time. ”
"Have a great day! Ding-"
As the sound of machinery landed, the elevator doors opened, and Room 721 opened in front of you.
Tu Ran was still thinking about how this machine detected Xi Chunzhi's heart rate data, and Xi Chunzhi had already stepped into the huge conference room.
Tu Ran hurriedly followed her.
The conference room was already full of people, and after Xi Chunzhi and Tu Ran came in, some of them looked at them, and some of them were still lowering their heads, pulling the electronic screen, looking at something intently.
Tu Ran followed Xi Chunzhi to find two empty chairs and sit down, and then began to look around quietly, only to notice a very familiar person sitting at the end of the conference table.
It's Xie Xu.
Isn't he a researcher? How could it be in the conference room of the Pioneer Team?
Tu Ran was puzzled.
A man in military uniform next to Xie Xu knocked on the table, the conference room fell silent, and the door of the conference room closed automatically.
The distance was very far, and Tu Ran couldn't see the name on the soldier's name tag clearly, but his tough appearance made Tu Ran feel a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But now is not the time to think about this kind of question, Tu Ran focused on the other party's speech.
"I'm going to tell you something very serious today."
"Yesterday, in the northern state of Regacán, in one day, there were seventeen xenomorph tracks."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Even Tu Ran, who doesn't know much about the world, realizes the seriousness of the matter.
You know, Regacon is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the administrative building of the federal center, and the only gate where xenos can appear, the threshold, is located near the administrative building.
Yesterday was the open day of the threshold, and the last group of pioneers who entered, as long as they were alive, came out of the threshold yesterday. The only thing the Xenomorphs can reach is the Pioneers, and the only way for them to get out of the threshold unharmed rather than being shot into a sieve by the guards surrounding them is to possess them.
However, the location of the pioneers is monitored in real time.
If these seventeen xenomorphs possessed the pioneers, even if they successfully passed the preliminary examination and re-examination, how did they evade the overwhelming surveillance of the Federation and run to Regacon 2,000 kilometers away?
It's almost impossible.
"How did these seventeen xenos get to Regacen?"
Some people raised the same questions as Tu Ran.
"Their movements have not been found so far," the officer's face was heavy, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone present, "There were two hundred and forty-one pioneers who came out of the threshold yesterday, and there are also two hundred and forty-one people sitting at the conference table now. ”
"It can be seen that the xenos did not come out with our pioneer team, and the head of the executive department, who guards the threshold all day, assures that they have not released any xenos."
"So now there is only one possibility, in addition to the gate of the Atlas in the center of the Federation, another threshold has descended."
As he spoke, the room was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.
