Quiet.
silence.
At this moment, when seeing this shocking scene, everyone in the command hall was moved. Some civilian staff covered their mouths, some slumped on the ground, and some people's minds went blank.
Dead? That alien beast... was really... killed? It was cut into countless pieces at an altitude of 10,000 meters?
Shocked, confused, excited, lucky, surviving... In an instant, countless emotions surged through the space that seemed to be frozen before.
Some people's eyes were filled with tears, some were mumbling words they couldn't understand, some were raising their hands, with uncontrollable smiles of joy on their faces... However, soon, all emotions seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
"The alien beast that was torn into pieces is falling at an accelerating rate!!" a correspondent shouted.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly woke up. Yes, this incident is not over yet.
The corpse of the huge fourth-level alien beast killed by the mysterious strong man was still falling rapidly downwards under the influence of gravity in the cold night sky nearly ten thousand meters away from them.
In an instant, everyone's emotions were suppressed, leaving only tension and worry. Their eyes fell on the screen again, and they saw that the bodies of the alien beasts falling straight on the screen gradually ignited flames.
How is this going?
"Locate the fall point!" the temporary commander suddenly reacted and shouted loudly.
The previous alien beast had already deviated from the river city when it was lifted up. Now, when its body falls, it will also deviate.
And if it happens in a crowd, you must give orders in advance to disperse and avoid.
As soon as the order was issued, technicians immediately controlled the equipment and tracked the landing point. However, soon, someone lost their voice.
"Affected by high-altitude air currents, the body of the alien beast is falling towards the bay in the eastern part of the river city!"
"What?" People looked and found that those lumps of burning flesh were constantly moving laterally, changing their falling trajectory.
…
In the night clouds, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, and the gap above the Neihe City has slowly healed. Ordinary people, and even practitioners, have long lost their ability to capture the strange beasts.
No one knows what is happening above the clouds, but everyone is anxiously waiting for a result.
This battle is about winning or losing, surviving or dying.
At this moment, the entire river city suddenly became quiet, and the people who were originally noisy, crying, and agitated all fell silent in some inexplicable tacit understanding.
Suddenly, clusters of light appeared vaguely in the clouds.
It was a burning fire, extremely eye-catching in the dark night.
…
"Sister Chen, look!" On a passable street in the ruins of the East District, dozens of investigators were speeding. Suddenly, the leading investigator who was running heard an exclamation from behind.
She stopped and leaned on the ground with her spiritual sword, supporting her tired body. She raised her head and saw the sparks in the dark clouds in the thin rain.
…
At the street corner of Neihe City, the director of the Panshi Martial Arts Gym, who was found by the students, woke up and gathered together with the members of the Alien Beast Hunters Guild, waiting in silence.
Suddenly, the director of the Panshi Martial Arts Gym and the president of the Alien Hunters Guild spoke almost at the same time, "Coming down!"
Later, the martial arts students and exotic beast hunters present noticed the changes in the sky.
…
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Gaps opened in the clouds, like holes burned by cigarette butts, and the broken limbs of the alien beasts shrouded in the firelight fell rapidly into the eyes of millions of people on the ground.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Near the bay of the river city, some of the investigators who rushed to the scene the fastest shouted in joy.
They were the closest and could see the most clearly. When they saw the burning limbs and broken arms of the alien beast and the sour rain in the sky, everyone got the answer they expected.
"The alien beast... is dead." Someone in the crowd said loudly, but received no response from others. Everyone was looking at the broken limbs falling from the sky, watching them break through the clouds.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The broken limbs burning with flames crashed into the icy sea, splashing water into the sky, and violent waves crashed on the empty dock, scattering large groups of containers.
Huge pieces of broken limbs disappeared into the white waves of the sea.
Everyone watched quietly...waiting for the huge waves to subside.
A moment of silence.
Immediately, all the people in the command hall who got the answer cheered in unison!
…
"Won."
In the command hall, when the severed limbs of the alien beast fell into the huge waves caused by the huge waves seen through satellite images, the extremely depressing atmosphere was finally broken, and the dead space suddenly burst into excited cheers.
Some people hugged each other and cried, and some people slumped down at their workstations with all their strength. When they realized it later, they found that their clothes had already been wet with sweat.
As soon as this fourth-level alien beast from the spirit world arrived, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
At this moment, everyone was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
…
On the ruins of the East District, exotic beast hunters and martial arts students stood together, looking at the gradually extinguishing flames in the bay and the darkness of the night.
After this battle, especially some young people, their blood surged with inexplicable emotions.
In another place, the investigators closest to the bay gathered together. They were the closest and received the strongest impact.
Seeing scattered limbs and broken arms falling, and the rain gradually subsided, these investigators who had been fighting for a long time seemed to have their strength drained away in an instant.
The weapons in many people's hands fell, making clanging sounds.
Fatigue came like a tide. Once the tense nerves in their hearts relaxed and the breath in their mouths dissipated, they no longer had the motivation to fight. Fortunately, the crisis was over and they could finally rest.
"Sister Chen, what are you thinking about?"
Among the crowd, an investigator slumped on the ground, gasping for air without any image, or even lying on his back in the cold wet rain, like a landed fish.
The investigator lady shook her head and said, "No, I just think we are luckier this time..."
…
Somewhere in the remaining buildings in the East District, a figure with a gray face and blood-stained mouth got up cursing.
He looked up at the direction of the bay, sputtering curse words, muttering that he was so unlucky, and that he would have to find an organization to reimburse his medical expenses after he returned...
This person's name is Du Qiu, and he is a member of the "Purple Orchid" mercenary organization. His original mission was to collect relevant information about the Inland River City, but by chance, he was affected by the battle between Lin Fei and the alien beasts.
Du Qiu thought to himself and complained crazily, but to put it this way, his injuries were not serious... mainly because he was angry...
I was thinking about whether I should take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a few fallen scales from the fourth-level alien beasts, so that I would not suffer this unnecessary disaster in vain.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked back, and saw a dim figure in the darkness flying towards this side.
"An alien beast?" Du Qiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. "Gee, isn't this the alien beast I encountered when I was preparing to escape? It's not dead?"
Yes, the reason why Du Qiu was affected by the battle between Lin Fei and the fourth-level alien beast had something to do with the alien beast in front of him.
If this strange beast hadn't haunted him at that time, he would have fled to a safe area long ago.
Du Qiu's mind was in chaos, but he did not stop moving his hands. He shouted loudly, "Beast, it's all because of you that I almost died here... Where are you running, look at the sword."
The figure suddenly rose, and a sword energy wrapped in spiritual light rose from the ground. The dog-shaped alien beast, which was already on the verge of death and had no fighting power, was unprepared and was instantly hit by the golden sword energy.
After a scream, the spiritual beast, which was lucky to have escaped the disaster, fell to the ground and breathed its last breath unwillingly.
Then, a crystal bead rolled out of its mouth. Du Qiu noticed it and reached down to pick it up.
"What is this..." He was confused? He suddenly felt another spiritual wave coming, and then he stuffed the crystal beads into his arms, turned around and ran away.
Not long after, an investigator with the first stage of the third level of strength arrived and looked at the dead spiritual beasts suspiciously.
…
"Miss! How are you?!" At this moment, an investigator came to Li Shicao.
Li Shicao's whole body was covered in cold sweat, and her complexion was as pale as paper.
I had suffered some injuries in the previous battle with the alien beasts. Because the situation was critical at that time, I had to endure it. Now that the overall situation was decided, the tense string in my heart immediately relaxed, and my own condition began to weaken.
"I have a spare healing pill here, which should help your injury." The investigator's condition was slightly better. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it over.
"Thank you." Li Shicao thanked the investigator, took the pill from his hand, opened his mouth and took it.
After taking the special medicine pill into his abdomen, the cold sweat from Li Shicao finally stopped. He felt the spiritual energy contained in the pill melt away, and a warm current traveled throughout his body, and the strong feeling of fatigue subsided slightly.
"Miss, are you a hunter of exotic animals?" The investigator asked, seeing Li Shicao's expression improving.
Li Shicao, who did not want to reveal his identity, shook his head. Just when the investigator was about to continue speaking, his boss called him away.
"Huh..." Li Shicao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the investigator leaving.
She dusted herself off, turned and left. Her grandparents at home must be worried about her at this moment, and she must go home immediately.

In the vast Indian Ocean, on an uninhabited desert island, there is an underground base.
In the researcher's rest area, Fan Xiyun woke up from his sleep and raised his hand to grab the altimeter glasses and mobile phone on the bedside table.
She glanced at the time sleepily. There were still five minutes left until the alarm clock was set, and her little eyebrows furrowed.
The underground base is far away from the sun, day and night. As a famous workaholic in the "Purple Orchid" organization, she always maintains a rhythm of working four hours and sleeping for twenty-five minutes.
However, she woke up early this time, which made her realize something was wrong.
Instead of forcing himself to fall asleep, Fan Xiyun went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then pushed open the door tiredly. He happened to see a large group of people in white coats trotting in the corridor, looking in a hurry.
"Who is that? What happened?" Fan Xiyun lazily nodded at someone and asked.
"Sister Fan, something suddenly went wrong in the underground drilling. We are here to help!" the man said.
Abnormalities in underground drilling?
Fan Xiyun perked up, folded his arms, and his face sank, "Why didn't anyone notify me of such a big thing?"
The man smiled bitterly, thinking that no one in the entire base knew that you were most afraid of others disturbing your sleep. Even the bedroom had several layers of soundproofing.
"Take me there!" Fan Xiyun ordered, then stepped on her high heels and ran over with the crowd.
Not long after, a huge deep well suddenly appeared in front of it. It was as huge as a volcano crater, bottomless, and surrounded by dense steel facilities.
High-power searchlights were thrown into the well from all directions, but nothing could be seen.
Fan Xiyun arrogantly grabbed an elevator and led a group of people down toward the wellhead amidst the roar of the machine.
The drilling shaft is not vertical, it is winding, and the so-called elevator is more like a slide car in a tunnel.
After an unknown amount of time, the elevator stopped and a group of people stepped out and walked along the huge, silent underground tunnel. Following the sound of people, they arrived at the location where the abnormality occurred.
"Get out of the way! Let me take a look!" Fan Xiyun shouted at the top of his voice, and a large group of researchers gathered here fled after hearing the sound.
"Fan Xiyun? This is my department's business, why are you here to join in the fun?" A bald middle-aged man standing in front said dissatisfied.
Fan Xiyun's eyebrows flew up, he sneered, and scolded, "I'm happy to. If you have the ability, you can complain to the president! Let's see who she is protecting!"
The bald middle-aged man's face darkened, and he thought to himself, "Who doesn't know that the president is your senior sister? You were members of the same club when you were in school, so your relationship shouldn't be too good."
"Ahem..." At this time, among the crowd, the person in charge of the base came over. Fan Xiyun knew that this person was the senior's confidant, and said with a smile, "Deacon Zhang, you are here too! I didn't see you just now, what's the matter?
Discover?"
The topic changed quite abruptly, but no one wanted to argue with her. Not only did she have great connections, but her own research strength was also among the top few in the 'Purple Orchid' organization.
"Just now, this cliff suddenly erupted with strong spiritual energy fluctuations. It's not clear what caused it." The bald middle-aged man said.
Fan Xiyun looked over and saw in front of him, many people wearing engineering protective clothing were manipulating heavy equipment to break through the cliff. Amidst the roar, large swaths of rock peeled off.
As the drilling deepened, the originally plain stone wall suddenly collapsed, revealing a hidden cave inside.
"this?"
The scene that appeared in front of them instantly attracted everyone's attention. The drilling equipment was shut down and beams of headlights were illuminated. Then, Fan Xiyun and others all opened their mouths.
I saw that inside the narrow cave, there was a thatched nest that exuded a biting cold air. Under the light, the fist-sized egg in the nest with its surface covered with moiré reflected dazzling light.
