don't talk to aliens

April 10

Longjiang Express Distribution Center

A late-night express vehicle drove quickly across the sparsely trafficked main road, and then ran over the manhole cover full of water on the road.

Pedestrians at the traffic lights waited with their mobile phones as usual, and no one looked up to notice the courier car with a big lock on the rear compartment, but the driver in the front driver's seat was not a driver dressed normally.

Visible to the naked eye, the 'driver' with a human body was covered with a strange protective shield.

This protective cover is airtight, not even the mouth, nose and ears are exposed, only half of the neck is exposed.

A series of fuzzy Sanskrit tattoos are tattooed on the half of his arm exposed from the sleeve, and in the middle of the steering wheel of the car, there is a special symbol composed of two cut water blue planets.

Right now, the 'driver' is holding his shoulders very stiffly, letting the driver's seat player next to his hand echo a song.

"Edelweiss (Edelweiss), Edelweiss (Edelweiss), Everymorningyougreetme (Greet me every morning), Smallandwhite, cleanandbright (You are white and bright) Youlookhappytomeetme (I am so happy to see you every day)..."

"Edelweiss"

It is said that this is the name of the English song.

The singing voice was vaguely like an elderly woman humming in her mouth.

The voice is gentle and melodious, hiding pieces of falling snowflakes exuding soft love. At first glance, it sounds like a nursery rhyme that only a mother hums softly to her favorite child when she is at the cradle before going to bed. up.

And accompanied by this innocent nursery rhyme that slowly sounded in the car.

The strange 'driver' drove the car slowly through the whole city, and then drove into a hidden frozen food factory in the abandoned oil field of the old city.

As soon as the car entered, the two rows of scanning lights with blue lights at the door automatically made a 'click click' sound, and at the same time the alarm device at the door also filtered the car from the beginning to the end.

This is the security check that goes into here to fix it.

But every 'person' who works late at night for this factory must undergo such a full-body bone scan when entering and exiting.

After the inspection was completed, a pair of human-like hands with slightly flat and transparent finger bones were stretched out from the window of the guard room on duty outside the factory building.

Then, the 'two people' who worked overtime in the factory at night started talking with the 'driver' in the driver's seat with a strange magnetic field sound similar to intracranial communication.

【'What kind of special magnetic field sound is this coming from your car? ']

【'No, this is not a magnetic field, this is the sound of earthlings singing. ']

【'Sing?What is singing? ']

['That is, a way of vocal cord vibration that can only be mastered by creatures on earth. I heard that the unconscious 'banana' soaked in potion, every time it is on the verge of rotting, just hear this song and it will restore its life Signs, I guess this is probably the earth people understand a kind of magical magnetic field, don't you feel that the way all creatures on the earth pronounce is very special? ']

['No, I don't think it's special, I just find it annoying, like a disgusting cosmic black hole creature roaring, and I warn you, you'd better stay away from that box, listen to that human woman with mechanical legs, It was expensive and so stingy that the owner wouldn't let us touch it. ']

【'Well, I just think that this magnetic field may have the ability to resonate with people on Earth. Of course, I will never get closer. ']

The conversation ended here, and the 'driver' and 'guard' were separated.

Next, the express vehicle slowly drove into the fully enclosed factory building.

Soon, as the heavy metal door opened automatically, the corresponding electronic service robots and a group of 'people' wearing protective masks and factory uniforms walked out of this strange organization.

If you are lucky enough to witness the scene that happened at the Institute of Atomic Energy in the middle of the night.

Maybe you will feel that the outfits of these 'people' look very familiar, even almost exactly the same as the group of 'little monsters' who attacked Chen Zhen in the research institute last time.

At the moment when the factory gate opened facing the delivery vehicle, a group of identically dressed 'people' walked out in unison.

After a long time, a leading female figure came out from the bright electronic light inside.

The face of the woman with the protective mask on her face was not exposed, but the high heels on her feet perfectly revealed her identity.

When he got to the car and stopped, he opened the heavy rear compartment door with one hand.

Looking indifferently through the protective cover, the naked/naked girl with long hair and eyes closed in the incubator, the woman in high heels made a robot-like voice from her mouth,

"Now, get the 'vitala' inside before the oxygen leaks cause further decay."

……

What is vitala?

This question, like the suddenly mutated Wang Qiang in the previous 'atatal incident', is a synonym for an unknown species that cannot be explained by the existing scientific knowledge on the earth.

For a long time, people have known more or less that the earth we live on is a planet with a long history of biological evolution.

In the African wilderness with abundant populations, in the southern Atlantic Ocean where fish and shrimps jump, and in Siberia where migratory birds fly over, or in Yanji, China, there are all kinds of wonderful creatures in nature.

Animals, plants, microorganisms.

These three types of creatures that rule the natural world today have undergone hundreds of millions of years of evolution and transformation, and are now spread across every inch of the earth, not only on land, but also in tens of thousands of different forms. .

But on this earth, where most life is quite ancient, there were also many species of different races living at one time.

Some of these species may have come from the same ancestor.

Some once appeared from the trees, walked from the ocean to the land, and finally returned to the ocean or the trees, but without exception, their original gene fragments can be traced back to a certain moment when biological cells were born on the earth.

It might have been just a tiny cell once.

Through the earliest source of water, air, and nutrients on the earth, a complete biological form has evolved, and then evolved continuously, entering the middle and upper layers of the food chain to start the stage of foraging and real differentiation.

In modern times, the evolutionary history of most species on Earth can be obtained from fossils, vegetation, soil, and various official materials, such as ferns and mosses in plants, platypus in animals, and modern birds.

Although human beings are not enough to fully understand every minute and every second of these tens of billions of years, it is always reasonable to say that they have mastered some important parts.

But modern unidentified creatures like atatal, which don't seem to have existed on the earth at all, are actually a little scary.

For example, Wang Qiang was originally just a hooligan who lived in a poor old city and once received a free liver disease vaccine in the hospital.Because of an accidental violent attack, after being severely injured by the counterattack, a gene mutation in a certain part of the body was triggered, and he became atatal.

After that, his whereabouts were unknown for several days, and no one knew what happened to him during this time.

Until that night when Fu Bailong saw him again in the underground parking lot, he could no longer be called him, but completely became an 'it'.

Cow toes, abnormal development of the stomach, methified gray skin, body strength that suddenly becomes infinitely powerful overnight, and a special superpower that can instantly change the magnetic field of a closed environment.

These miraculous genetic changes and the abnormalities brought about by them are not like what a normal creature on earth should have.

Human→cow→?

This is a strange genetic evolution formula that cannot be completely equated no matter what.

As for the unknown species mentioned in the second mission right now—vitala.

Judging from the pronunciation, it should be the name of one of the gods/gods mentioned in the ancient Sanskrit secret book named "Bhagavan Tan" that Fu Bailong once found, but other than that, the national astrometeorological The bureau has not provided any more clues at this stage.

But it's strange, ever since the female client Liu Qian mysteriously disappeared while in the hospital, and her mother called the police to search around, no one in Longjiang has seen her again.

However, it is said that before she completely disappeared from the hospital, she had difficulty getting out of bed and walking normally.

Her limbs will begin to rot and soften due to a certain degree of high room temperature and high oxygen, just like the oxidized and discarded fruits in the market, which gradually become soft while turning black.

On October 10, some media even reported the anecdote that the hands and feet of this "fruit girl" had rotted and softened from the inside. Therefore, it can be inferred from this that she never left the hospital on her own initiative.

Therefore, it can be inferred based on the current time of the incident and the specific date of her disappearance.

Once she really fell into the hands of some dangerous people like Wang Qiang, this 'fruit girl' must be similarly bad and bad, and has even been divided.

Coupled with her special physique, I am afraid that the sooner she is found this time, the truth of the matter may have a chance to be seen again.

——It’s just that his status is somewhat inconvenient.

Once you want to take the initiative to do something, you will become conspicuous because of the excessive exposure around you.

And the most important thing is that so far, he has not actually been to the hospital to see Chen Zhen, who is out of danger. As for the reason, he probably has to talk about what happened that night.

【"Xiaoming, Xiaoming...dangerous!"】

Thinking about it now, when that subconscious call sounded, the tingling and bitterness that surged up in Fu Bailong's heart were extremely real.

From the moment he unilaterally fell in love with Chen Zhen, he was doomed to a crushing defeat. When he came back for a few days and hid at home with terrible internal pain, he gritted his teeth expressionlessly and forced himself not to think about that. moment.

Although he had known for a long time that Chen Zhen had no place for him in his heart.

But in that case, being reminded of another harsh lesson still dealt him a complete blow.

And every time at this time, seeing that her boss just likes someone carefully, Rachel, who has to be so aggrieved and miserable, feels that she can't stand it.

Even this time, even if she didn't know why Fu Bailong was hurt like this, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic or unbearable.

"You, why don't you continue to hide this matter, or I can find a way to contact Mr. Chen, even if I don't want others to know, but at least let him know about these things, or come to see you..."

"Shut up and don't say anything."

"Yes, but..."

"No, but, take care of yourself, I will take care of my own affairs, and don't need others to worry about it."

This kind of attitude of always being cold and alone, and insisting on rejecting everyone thousands of miles away.

I also want to know how helpless Rachel Zhang, who has been helping him hide everything all this time, felt when he heard it.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that a large part of the reason why her boss had been single for so many years and had failed in secret love for many years was that he was so stubborn and didn't want others to find out what he was thinking in his heart.

This kind of person, I am afraid that only those who are really willing to take the initiative to understand him, or try to approach his inner world, can understand his goodness.

But at this stage, such a rare person can be called a once-in-a-century person, and it may be really hard to find for a while.

Because of this, female secretary Rachel Zhang didn't dare to provoke him casually in the next few days, or it would affect his recovery.

Not only did he open his mouth, but he didn't dare to mention Chen Zhen casually, and he even wanted to coax him a little bit. He changed his way to praise and praise his boss every day in front of the hospital bed.

And at the beginning, maybe he could bear the frequent verbal harassment from her in his ears.

One day, when Rachel Zhang, who had become more and more imaginative during this time, suddenly gave him such a bad idea, Mr. Fu, who we had endured for many days, finally broke out all at once.

This bad idea, what exactly is going on.

It can be roughly summed up in one sentence.

But at that time, he really angered Fu Bailong whose chest wound was not completely healed, and almost drove away the well-meaning female secretary immediately.

"Actually, boss, I think you might as well be like this. Since Mr. Chen has a date now, you might as well find a way to find someone who pretends to be your current date and counterattack back in a roundabout way. In this way, you can not only test Mr. Chen's opinion of you after you have a date can also make it less awkward every time you meet them alone as friends..."

"..."

"Just imagine, you've always been so nice to Mr. Chen, and suddenly one day, your interest in him has shifted, and you have someone you like, then even if he doesn't know what happened, he must feel that there is a psychological gap, right? , the two of you are friends who have known each other for more than ten years, even if it is said that one comes first, it is because you liked Mr. Chen first before that..."

Rachel Zhang didn't finish the following words, but Fu Bailong already had a cold face and decided he didn't want to listen anymore.

Because even if he likes someone, he doesn't even bother to use such a method.

That's why Fu Bailong, who has always disliked Lu Yiming but also has personal principles, said coldly before the other party continued.

"There is no chance. If he really likes Lu Yiming, he will still be like this. It can only show that the transferred feelings are also cheap. Such things are not worth calculating, and I also misread him. That's it, don't Go on."

As he said this, Fu Bailong strongly resisted doing this, and it was very clear that he hated losing his self-esteem in this way.

The female secretary was speechless at this, and it took a long time before she said helplessly, well, you are right, I'm sorry.

But the night after that, Fu Bailong didn't sleep well all night.

His wound was uncomfortable, and thinking of Chen Zhen stirred up many emotions in his heart.

Among them, there are stories about them studying together when they were teenagers, and there are many stories about the other party's gentle hand to comfort him after his parents passed away.

After thinking about it, even though he knew that he should not reveal his whereabouts in the country for the time being, he still endured the discomfort and struggled alone, picked up his mobile phone and broadcast the call.

But I waited there for a while, and after a while, after being discharged from the hospital for the past two days, Chen Zhen, who seemed to have been asleep for a long time, slowly picked it up, and Fu Bailong, who was thinking that everything might end, was still at that moment. Stopped.

"……Hey?"

"..."

"Hello? Who is it? Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Fu Bailong, holding his breath silently, frowned and closed his eyes, but did not dare to answer these two consecutive voices from the other party.

After a long time, probably thinking it was some strange prank call, the other party hesitated a little bit puzzled, and finally hung up the phone after confirming that no one was listening.

And until the phone was disconnected, he didn't have the courage to even ask the other party if he was doing well in the past two days.

Alone in the dark, holding on to the phone tightly, Fu Bailong finally let go of it slowly and put down the phone together.
