Xia Chujian said, "It really is."

As she spoke, she operated the captain's console in front of her and played the surveillance video from Pei Zijing's starship airship in the fighter warehouse on the fifth floor.

It begins with a scene where a young instructor peels off his human skin, revealing the crocodile-lizard-snake monster inside.

Kang Shanxing's elegant image could hardly be controlled, and his eyes widened in surprise: "This thing...how can there be such a thing?!"

Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "Colonel Kang, do you recognize this thing?"

Kang Shanxing also has a high level of authority in the Special Security Bureau.

He quickly said, "I have an image recognition system here, and it shows that this is a crocodile-lizard snake monster. It has a name: Son of Farest."

"But... this thing is also a very rare species among the relic species. How could it appear on your star cruiser?!"

Xia Chujian corrected him: "Colonel Kang, it didn't appear on my star cruiser, it appeared in the interstellar airship at the base."

"We're still not sure whether this thing got onto the airship from the base or from the pirate Bodhi Leaf's starship."

Kang Shanxing calmed himself down, frowned, and said, "You have a point, but why did you exclude your star cruiser?"

"Sound reasoning, all three parties have problems."

In other words, without anyone knowing, this crocodile-lizard-snake monster, the Son of Farest, might have come from the base.

It might have come from the starship of the pirate Bodhiye.

It is also possible that they came with this star cruiser.

Xia Chujian was choked back. Not only was she unable to refute, she also felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense...

She really didn't have much contact with Kang Shanxing, and once praised his beautiful eyes.

At that time, I was ignorant and fearless, or strong because I had no desires, so I didn't feel anything.

But now, one sentence from the other party made her feel that, well, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command.

Huo Yushen does have some skills.

Xia Chujian nodded and said sincerely, "Colonel Kang is right. This is not impossible."

"But at this point, there's not enough time to fully explore where it came from."

"So we can only think about it from the most likely direction first."

Kang Shanxing said: "...What do you think?"

Xia Chujian said, "I still think the base is the most suspicious."

She calmed herself down and recounted the base's mission of going into the mountains to fight the infected remnants.

Then he said, "I felt something was wrong at the time. Can we really just leave the infected relic in the mountains?"

"Even if it's an introductory mission for the students, how can they be sure that no infected individuals have sneaked out of the forest?"

"Later, in the cafeteria at the base, we saw another new type of infected organism, this time infecting plants."

"I heard from Chief Instructor Pei that this has never happened before... So, the infected bodies of the relic species are also evolving."

Kang Shanxing frowned, "There are indeed some serious problems with your base."

"Now that you put it that way, I'm inclined to believe that this crocodile-lizard-snake monster came from your base."

Xia Chujian's heart suddenly tightened: "Colonel Kang thinks so too? Are there other sons of Farest in the base? What should we do? Can we still go back?!"

Kang Shanxing said, "Don't worry about that. This kind of thing is too rare. It might not appear in the human world once in a million years."

"Since he's already here and... was beaten to death... so there won't be any more within a million years."

Xia Chujian immediately said, "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Bad things don't work, but good things do! Colonel Kang, you can't say such things casually!"

Kang Shanxing: "...Xia Chujian, are you so superstitious?"

Xia Chujian said seriously: "This is not superstition, this is the end of science - metaphysics."

Kang Shanxing's mouth twitched. He ignored Xia Chujian's childish temper and asked again, "...Who beat him to death?"

Xia Chujian proudly pointed at himself and said with a smile, "Of course it's for me, the captain!"

"I am the captain, and I have the obligation to protect the lives and safety of all crew members on board."

"To protect them, I forced them into hibernation so I can focus on fighting monsters!"

Kang Shanxing: “…”

What did he just hear?

Kang Shanxing couldn't help but ask: "...What did you do to them?"

Xia Chujian said, "It's dormant! The trainees and instructors at the base don't have the ability to fight this thing!"

"Only I... because I have an advanced mecha can kill it!"

Kang Shanxing's mouth twitched: "Xia Chujian, stop bragging, you are not a genetic evolver."

"With your abilities, the Son of Farest could control your mind and body in a matter of minutes."

"Only those with high-level genetic evolution can avoid the fate of being controlled by its mind."

Xia Chujian: “…”

She blinked and said seriously, "Colonel Kang, I don't have genetic evolution, but my mecha can make up for this shortcoming."

"Also, Coach Huo gave me a hat that can defend against high-level mental attacks. That's why I can kill this thing!"

That's true.

Kang Shanxing thought about Huo Yushen's attitude towards Xia Chujian and half believed it, but still found it hard to believe that she killed the son of Farest single-handedly.

Xia Chujian didn't care what he was thinking and quickly said, "Colonel Kang, I want to ask you something. Can you give me this thing?"
