In the interrogation room, Du Fei stared at Zhushi Jiu and Xu Feng with a “you’re gonna kill me” expression.
“Can you guys give me a clear explanation?”
“, no ads, online reading free & no charge!”
“Let me go! I want to go home!”
“After we’ve changed locations, we’ll talk.” Xu Feng said after a long time of staring at Zhushi Jiu.
“Okay.”
Then, Zhushi Jiu followed Xu Feng out of the interrogation room. Before leaving, he turned back to glance at Du Fei with a complex expression.
How could Xu Feng possibly let Du Fei go so easily?
No matter what kind of relationship Du Fei had with Zhushi Jiu, no matter whether Zhushi Jiu cared about Du Fei’s safety, Xu Feng would definitely take Du Fei as one of his bargaining chips. That’s just the kind of man he was.
Du Fei was about to go crazy.
Zhushi Jiu, you’re not human!
…
Zhushi Jiu had always thought he was a selfish person, and that still holds true now.
“, free and no ads, no pop-up windows, you can also discuss with friends!”
To achieve his goals, he used his brother, and even used Du Fei. He had even prepared to sacrifice this world, so from this perspective, he was selfish.
But his selfishness was for the purpose of saving the world, so everything was worth it – he could only comfort himself like that.
Du Fei’s gaze was really hurtful, and he couldn’t bear it.
After leaving the interrogation room, Xu Feng led Zhushi Jiu to a meeting room that was roughly the size of a university classroom.
The meeting room was simply decorated. At the front, there was a white projector screen, and in front of the screen, there was a wide lectern with a small black microphone on it. In the middle of the room, there was a U-shaped meeting table, with neatly arranged chairs on both sides. Because there were few objects in the room, the space felt quite spacious.
At least it was much better than that cramped interrogation room.
“Feel free to take a seat.” Xu Feng said.
Zhushi Jiu knew he couldn’t show too much fear, so he silently nodded and chose a chair to sit down.
“Do you know what the World Enemy is?”
“I don’t know.” Zhushi Jiu replied honestly.
Xu Feng’s expression turned even more disappointed: “If you really had foresight into the future… what did you see in the future, or what step did you see?”
Zhushi Jiu replied: “I’ve said it before, I can only foresee a limited part of the future. In the future I saw, you didn’t give me much useful information, and you didn’t even prepare to let me know about your actions. I only knew that on November 7th at 10 am, you will launch an attack on the World Enemy, and the result will be like what I said before – a blue energy explosion will destroy everything.”
“I don’t have enough reason to deny your words.” Xu Feng said stiffly. “But since I’ve brought you here now, it means the future you saw can change. So, from now on, your foresight will be updated as more information becomes available. First, I’ll tell you about the true face of the World Enemy.”
“The World Enemy… is a void.”
Zhushi Jiu was stunned. He didn’t understand.
He had always been puzzled about what the World Enemy was, and he had staked his life to find the answer, exhausting all his strength every time. He thought he had prepared himself well to face the truth, but now he realized he wasn’t prepared at all.
Xu Feng held a remote control in his hand and pressed a button towards the white screen at the front of the room.
The white screen then became a high-definition screen, displaying a vivid image – a blue sky that was almost identical to the sky humans see every day.
What was the World Enemy? Zhushi Jiu was even more confused.
“You saw anything?” Xu Feng asked.
Zhushi Jiu replied: “I didn’t see anything.”
“That’s correct. This is the World Enemy.”
Xu Feng said: “Humans can’t detect anything abnormal in this area using our current technology. It’s like that area doesn’t exist at all. That’s why humans can’t detect anything unusual.”
Zhushi Jiu was still confused.
“The first time the World Enemy was discovered was 35 years ago, in 2010.”
“It was in Arkansas, USA. Tens of thousands of black birds were flying in the sky when they suddenly experienced a bizarre collective ‘falling’ phenomenon. The bodies of tens of thousands of black birds fell from the sky, covering the roads and fields, causing panic among the American people. The local police immediately contacted experts to investigate the cause of this phenomenon.”
“At that time, experts discovered after conducting a thorough examination that the black birds’ bodies had blunt force injuries, as if they had crashed into hard objects while flying at high speed, causing them to die in mid-air.”
“Then, a meteorological expert proposed a hypothesis that the black birds’ activity area had an inverted temperature layer, which caused the birds to crash into trees or buildings and die.”
Xu Feng laughed coldly.
“, no ads, online reading free & no charge!”
“This hypothesis sounds reasonable and gained widespread recognition from the public. But in reality, experts discovered that there was a no-fly zone in the sky above Arkansas!”
“Any bird that flew into that area would lose its ability to fly, and the blunt force injuries on the birds’ bodies were just a result of them crashing to the ground after losing flight.”
Zhushi Jiu listened to this old news, knowing that Xu Feng was talking about the World Enemy, but still couldn’t help but want to interrupt.
“A no-fly zone? Is this what you call the World Enemy?”
Xu Feng nodded: “After that, experts from various countries conducted research on this no-fly zone, and they discovered a terrifying fact – the no-fly zone was shaped like a void, with a length of 10 kilometers, a width of 8 kilometers, and a height of 5 kilometers!”
When Xu Feng said this, Zhushi Jiu’s eyes widened in shock, and he blurted out: “Alien stealth warship?!”
“Not just stealth.” Xu Feng’s expression was complex. “The no-fly zone is a void. With our current technology, we can’t detect anything abnormal in this area at all. Humans can fly planes through this area without any problem, but birds can’t.”
Alien warship?
Zhushi Jiu was even more confused about the true face of the World Enemy.
Xu Feng continued: “At that time, humans were baffled, although they didn’t announce it to the public. But that no-fly zone did gain attention from humans.”
“According to experts’ records, the no-fly zone that appeared in the United States in 2010 moved to a new location after two years of silence, in 2012. It’s like it stopped randomly somewhere on Earth…”
Zhushi Jiu’s body trembled: “Is it…?”
Xu Feng’s voice was cold and angry. “Yes, it stopped in Jiang City, our country. A photographer discovered a similar bizarre phenomenon – not just black birds, but many other bird species suddenly lost their ability to fly and crashed to the ground.”
“The phenomenon was extremely similar – the birds lost their ability to fly while flying at high speed, then crashed to the ground and died.”
“That photographer uploaded his video online, and our country was shocked to discover that the World Enemy had changed its ‘parking spot’.”
Zhushi Jiu was in a daze.
This World Enemy was ridiculously brazen, yet it maintained an invisible state, letting ordinary people look up and see nothing unusual, even remarking, “What a nice day today!”
“Just like that?”
Zhushi Jiu asked, his rationality telling him it couldn’t be over yet.
Because if that was all, the government wouldn’t establish such a bizarre Black Troop organization just to deal with a “no-fly zone” where birds couldn’t fly.
“Of course not.”
Xu Feng replied, pressing the remote control in his hand, and the screen displayed a new image.
A strange, indescribable creature appeared on the screen.
It was a “biological” creature composed of hard, black shell-like material. Zhushi Jiu couldn’t even tell if it was a living thing, only barely distinguishing its limbs and body shape.
“What is this thing?”
This thing was ugly to the point of challenging human aesthetics.
“This is what we call an ‘Alien Creature’, a ‘product’ dropped from the World Enemy.”
Zhushi Jiu noticed that Xu Feng’s voice was ice-cold, as if the entire meeting room’s temperature had dropped.
“They have a hard shell that’s beyond human technology to create, and they can move at speeds comparable to human firearms. The toxic gas they spray out, which we call the α series, can kill a full-grown blue whale with just a tiny amount…”
α series?
Zhushi Jiu felt like he was listening to a fantasy, and his mind immediately linked to the anesthetic agents held by the Black Soldiers.
“α-7…”
“α-7 is what we extracted from the mouths of those monsters, then diluted and adjusted over seven times.”
Xu Feng said coldly: “It’s just a byproduct of the toxin they release at will.”
These weren’t the key points, the key point was that the “Alien Creatures” fed on human flesh.
