Aliens on Earth [Interstellar]

"Asi Beast-related news, don't we inform you immediately every time?" Cao Haitian is a little inexplicable, the military and Resende have always shared information about Asi Beast, as long as it is related to Asi Beast Yes, they know the news, and Resende and the others also know about it.

"Check it out." Leisende replied to Cao Haitian's words, took the hot tea from the orderlies pouring tea one by one, handed it to Ji Lin to warm his hands,

Colonel Cao's gaze stayed on Leisende for a while, and he felt his eyelids twitching, feeling vaguely that what Leisende was going to say this time would not be a good thing.

"Retrieve the information." Cao Haitian frowned and looked back, and ordered the soldier beside him.

Cao Haitian just finished the meeting of the military department. Although the focus was on the successful use of the Rama grass weapon, the movement of Asi beast has always been the focus of attention, and the relevant information is also there. It can be sorted out in the materials of the meeting.It didn't take long for the relevant information to be ready.

"Since the Beastmaster battle, how many Asi Beasts were expected to escape ashore?" Resende asked.

The slide on the projection screen turned back a few pages and turned to relevant data.

"About 20, maybe more than 30, but definitely not 40." Cao Haitian glanced back at the projection screen and replied.

"After the Beastmaster battle, how many Asi beasts were killed?"

"Including yesterday's one, there are eight in total."

"Are there any traces of Asi beasts found in other areas?"

"So far..." Cao Haitian looked back at the projection screen again, confirmed the content on it and said, "Not yet."

Resende and Seeger looked at each other, then fell silent, and the atmosphere in the conference room sank subtly.

"There is bad news." Resende said.

Cao Haitian: "..." It seems that the bad premonition is about to come true.

Cao Haitian twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to wipe his face, and looked at Leisende again, "Just tell me what bad news it is, I'm mentally prepared."

"According to the appearance of Asi beasts in the past two months, we have a bad guess..." Sig continued, "A mid-level beast king may have appeared among the Asi beast herd."

After the voice fell, the conference room was silent at first, and then whispered to each other. They couldn't accept the bad news.The last meeting also talked about the first successful use of Ramagrass weapons, and finally the people on earth finally got the ability to hunt and kill Asi beasts. The dark clouds that have been hanging over the military's heads have finally let out a ray of sunshine.But before I had time to be happy for a while, dark clouds gathered thickly again, not only covering the sun, but also bringing the prelude to the storm with lightning and thunder!

"Quiet!" Cao Haitian patted the table, and the whispers in the conference room stopped quickly, "Raysende, I want to know what is the reason for your guessing?"

He has been in contact with Resende for a long time, and he dare not say that he knows this alien ally very well, but he knows that since Resende made this guess, it is definitely not a fantasy without any basis.What he couldn't understand was that the worst outcome predicted earlier was that a new junior beast king would evolve before they completely wiped out the wandering Asi beasts, but now it became possible for a middle-level beast king to appear.As promised, it is not easy to appear the Beastmaster of the first level, but it is even more difficult to appear the Beastmaster of the first level or above?

"First, Asi beasts are group creatures, but this is when there is a beast king in the herd. When there is no beast king, they generally will not gather together. However, after the sea battle ended For a long time, only S city has Asi beasts, and there are no other places."

"Maybe...they are all scattered in City S, but they just didn't happen to be scattered in other cities? City S is not a small area." Someone made a hypothesis about Resende.

Resende glanced at the man, "Before in City H, because of our hunting, the Asi herd with the Beastmaster chose to flee this way, now knowing that the enemy who can kill them is here, there is no Beastmaster Will the wandering Asi beasts choose to stay? Asi beasts are a race classified as intelligent creatures. Although the intelligence level of ordinary Asi beasts is not as high as that of the beast king, they can only be regarded as low-level intelligent creatures, but they still have the IQ to stay away from powerful enemies. .Of course, your hypothesis is not completely impossible, but I don't base my guess on this alone."

"Resende is right. Judging from the traces of Asi Beast found, there is indeed no sign of scattering." Cao Haitian said, and turned out the map on the computer that marked the time and place where Asi Beast appeared. Those Asi beasts discovered after the battle at sea, let alone S city, they didn’t go out of these two urban areas at all!”

The person who put forward the hypothesis didn't say anything more, and the distribution of Asi beast's traces can indeed be said to be dense.Not to mention that there are few Asi beasts found, after such a long time, the asi beasts discovered are only in two urban areas, and there are no other urban areas. This cannot be said to be normal.

"The second reason..." Resende continued, "After more than two months, only 8 Asi beasts were found. The number is too small, and the number is too abnormal."

"How to say?" Cao Haitian asked.

"Elementary Beastmasters have a very strong hiding ability, but ordinary Asi beasts do not. With Teemo's search ability, in the case that Asi beasts are not scattered, finding 8 of them is considered a small number." Resende slightly After a pause, he continued, "The ability of the middle-level beast king is to create illusions. It can not only hide itself, but also hide Asi beasts. If there is a middle-level beast king in the herd, everything will make sense. "

The meeting room was quiet again, what does it mean to be able to create hallucinations?It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think that you are standing in front of Asimon, but you don't know it at all, and you don't realize it until you are bitten by it.

"I have a question." Lu Jun, who had been silent all this time, looked at Lei Sende and said.

"what is the problem?"

"I've read the Asbeast science information provided by you. It says that it takes about ten years for a beginner beast master to advance to an intermediate beast master."

"That's right." Resende nodded slightly, admitting that it was the content he had popularized in the first place, "In the Mandel star field, the Asi beast's advanced law is indeed like this, but now it is on the earth, in a different environment, Mutation is possible, and I mentioned this possibility to Cao Haitian before."

Cao Haitian: "..." Wasn't it a joke to say that the junior beast king would mutate and appear earlier?

"Actually, when the junior beast king first appeared, I had some doubts that Asi beasts mutated after they came to Earth, and what factors affected their growth. The appearance of the junior beast king may be a coincidence, and perhaps the Asi beast that just came to Earth Some of them are just on the verge of advanced. However, after coming to the earth, the reproduction speed of Asi beasts is indeed faster than that in the Mandel star field. I feel that way. But I am not an expert in biology, so I can’t help it Prove." Resende clasped his fingertips on the conference table, "If my guess is correct and the mid-level Asi beast really appeared, then the reason must be due to mutation. But the reason for this mutation is not necessarily Because of the earth's environment, it may also be because of eating something special."

Cao Haitian: "For example...?"

"Something in Zhang Wen's laboratory..."

Zhang Wen's laboratory...Cao Haitian has been there. It is the place where the head of the first-level Beastmaster was artificially cultivated. Cells from the Beastmaster's lair can be borrowed to cultivate the head of the first-level Beastmaster with thought fluctuations. It is indeed possible that some kind of substance that caused the mutation of Asimon appeared.After they found out, they did a strict aftermath under the guidance of Professor Lin. The laboratory was completely destroyed, and Asimon never appeared in that area after that. The substance was not obtained later.If it was really because of that laboratory, it should have happened before it was discovered.

As for the time when Asimon was mutated due to a certain substance in the laboratory, Leisende and Cao Haitian had the same idea, and his conjecture was more specific.

The factory opposite to the pharmaceutical factory where the laboratory is located is the place where the junior beast king's lair was found. He originally thought that the owner of the lair was the junior beast king he had found and escaped from City H, but according to the lair, he was disposed of artificially. If it is the time when the lair appeared in the factory, if it is the junior Beastmaster in H City, the time is too tight, and it is even impossible to close.Therefore, there may have been two junior beast kings at that time, and they killed one of them at sea, while the remaining one hid in the laboratory, came into contact with some kind of mutated substance, and advanced to an intermediate level. Beastmaster.At the end of the battle at sea, some of the escaped Asbeasts rushed to the pharmaceutical factory. At first, he thought it was caused by the head of the artificially bred beast king, but now that he thinks about it, such a long distance, a bred head is really Such a strong mental power?This is something that needs to be questioned - it is likely that the middle-level beast master is summoning Asi beast.

However, these are just conjectures without evidence, and there is no need to elaborate.

"The appearance of the middle-ranked Beastmaster is still just our conjecture, and the mutation of Asi Beast is a fantasy based on conjecture. There is no need for in-depth research. The purpose of my visit today is to explain to you the specific characteristics of the middle-ranked Beastmaster. , just in case." Resende said.

Cao Haitian felt that what Leisende said was conjecture, but there was affirmation between the lines.He has already affirmed the existence of the middle-level Beastmaster, but he did not see it with his own eyes, so he classified it as conjecture.

Cao Haitian took a deep breath, and said to Lei Sende, "Say it."

"Intermediate Beastmasters use two means to create hallucinations. One is spiritual power. Within the range of its spiritual power, it is very easy for it to make people fall into hallucinations; it is a substance secreted by its body surface. It will be smeared on ordinary Asi beasts, making it difficult for people to find them, but the effect is weak and time-sensitive. After the time-limitation, it will lose its effect. Illusion is actually a kind of ability to deceive the opponent's brain cognition. If you want to crack the middle-level beast king If you have enough mental power to resist, the illusion will not work, or if you find something wrong, you will be aware of it. Therefore, when you see something that is wrong, you must be vigilant. Also, look for It’s best to focus on the tools of Asi Beast’s methods, long-distance search will be more reliable than manual search…”

Lei Sende explained the way to deal with the middle-level beast king with Cao Haitian and the others in detail, discussed and adjusted the general direction of the battle, and finally suggested that after confirming that he was the middle-level beast king, the residents of City S should be fully evacuated before it was over. This long meeting.

At the end of the meeting, Resende took Ji Lin away, and Sig went to Lucas and the others to explain the arrangement on Cao Haitian's side.

Ji Lin and Lei Sende walked out of the military area conference building, and Dong Yue's car was waiting outside.

"I'm going to the research base to find Professor Lin, and you can help find Asi Beast?" Ji Lin got in the car, yawned, and asked Lei Sende beside him.

"I can't help much in the search, I will accompany you home to rest." Moreover, when the middle-level beast king may appear, he can't leave Ji Lin alone, so even though the research base is in the military area , He didn't let Ji Lin go to the research base alone, but took him to the conference building for a meeting.

"I'm going to find Professor Lin." Ji Lin reiterated his arrangement.Professor Lin is studying the topic of shortening the growth cycle of Lama grass, and he is very interested.

"But you look sleepy."

Just as Ji Lin was about to refute, he couldn't help but yawned again under the warm air conditioner in the car.I don't know what's going on these days, I feel like I can't wake up all the time, even if I go to bed early at night and have a good night's sleep, I still don't want to get up in the morning, and I can't help yawning when I get to a warm place.

"Probably because of the winter..." Ji Lin explained to Lei Sende, but he himself did not agree with this reason.He didn't have any special circumstances in the past winters, and he didn't get sleepy frequently, and he didn't stay in bed in the morning.Could it be that life is too comfortable and you are used to it?
