Chapter 152 A "Guest" from Another Region

Rong Yi opened the first video and turned it sideways to show Wei Yanqing. In the video, the phone owner was a girl. She saw a meteor streaking across the sky and crashing into the building in front of her. Immediately, the crowd in the video screamed.

The phone owner exclaimed in her own language, urging those around her to call the police, and then ended the recording.

In the second video, the person filming was very close to the building that had been hit. Judging from the dust, some time had passed. People around approached the building, trying to rescue those trapped underneath. But soon, the rocks shook, and something started to crawl out from below. Suddenly, a black claw stretched out, followed by an insect-like body covered in blood, hissing at the crowd.

The photographer clearly captured how the crawling insect sprang up and jumped onto a nearby person, biting them in a few bites, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Panic ensued, and everyone rushed to escape. In less than ten seconds, the person who was bitten had half of their body eaten away.

The video ends as the person filming flees with the crowd.

The last video shows only the person filming, and the image is shaky, indicating that her hands are also shaking. Pointing the camera outside, you can see several insects surrounding a person, and you can see the person's pale hands, which are then bitten and torn apart by the insects the next second.

The person filming pointed the camera at herself. The girl, her face streaked with tears, whispered, "Many people have died. I'm the only one left here. I feel like they'll find me soon. If this video gets out, please help our country. This place is almost overrun by alien creatures..."

clatter!

Suddenly, the sound of falling stones was heard. The girl froze, her face filled with fear, and her helplessness could be felt even through the video.

She carefully changed her perspective, trying to use her phone to take pictures of the outside to see what was happening, but as soon as the camera peeked out, a huge insect's head was pointed at the lens.

“Hiss—”

The blood-stained mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth, and the girl couldn't help but scream.

The following footage is not visible because the phone had fallen to the ground, stuck on a rock, and was pointing outwards; all that could be heard was the girl's agonizing screams.

At the end, the gnats dragged the girl's body away, and the camera clearly captured how the gnats tore and ate her.

Finally, a message appeared saying that the phone had been recording for a long time, until it reached 20% and the "no charging" warning was not canceled, at which point the phone automatically shut down.

Within a single day, the country of Bart had completely fallen, and it is likely that the neighboring country that was assisting in the rescue would also be affected.

[Oh my god, the international community needs to quickly organize an army to wipe out these bugs! They're so aggressive, their spread will cause widespread damage.]

Several meteorites also fell in our city, but the police have cordoned off the area, so there's no problem for now. Could it be those insects too? No wonder I heard gunshots.

【We did too. The police even said they were worried about radiation and told us to stay away.】

Alien creatures have really invaded our planet! I need to stockpile supplies and hide immediately.

There are many comments like this. These videos don't yet make it clear how the insects grow, but they have caused a great shock and have already topped several trending topics.

This is a global event, and simply blocking information won't suffice. The authorities here need to release useful information to the public as soon as possible.

"Given this situation, the people of this country will definitely see it too, and it shouldn't be long before the authorities make a statement." Rong Yi was still scrolling through the comments below.

A car drove in then, but quickly parked and left.

After everyone left, Wei Yanqing said, "I wonder how long they can keep the situation under control."

According to Rong Yi's description, the ferocious insects expand and grow at an extremely rapid rate.

Rong Yi clicked his tongue. "We need to remind them that I remember the ferocious insects really hate industrial products like concrete and usually avoid them. They need to build a thick enough concrete structure to hide in as soon as possible."

But neither she nor Wei Yanqing possessed strong hacking skills.

The two exchanged glances, and Wei Yanqing said, "How about we write a letter and I'll keep it under control and send it to the municipal government? Whether they adopt it or not is up to them."

Rong Yi nodded, "This is the only way we can try."

“However…” Wei Yanqing hesitated, “It sounds very unbelievable that the ferocious insects don’t like to eat concrete.”

Rong Yi scratched his neck. "Well, how do I put it? For the saber-toothed insects, eating concrete is like a person eating sand. They can't even swallow it. Unless they smell the scent of living things inside the concrete, they will choose to break through it, but they won't eat those things. Therefore, they will subconsciously avoid concrete when they see it."

Wei Yanqing started the car and drove to a place close enough to the municipal government. His control ability had a limited range, so he couldn't go too far away.

Inside the city hall building, the mayor was resting with his eyes closed. Too many things had happened in the city recently, and he had been working non-stop for more than 30 hours without closing his eyes. He also had a meeting later.

Dongdong——

There was a knock on the door.

The mayor pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The subordinate who knocked on the door quickly pushed it open and strode in. "Mayor, this is the piece of paper that just appeared in the center of the entrance to the city government building. We checked the surveillance footage, and the paper floated there automatically without any support."

Upon hearing this, the mayor moved his hand away. "Has it been inspected?"

The subordinate nodded, "It's been checked and disinfected; there's no danger."

The mayor then took the paper and opened it. What came into view was a passage: "The savage insects do not eat concrete. Before the insect swarm arrives, quickly construct concrete buildings that are at least two meters thick."

"Have you checked the nearby surveillance footage? Could it be a drone?"

The subordinate nodded and said, "We've checked the surveillance footage around here, and there's been no news so far. It seems we haven't found anything unusual. I'll go and ask again later."

The mayor let out a long sigh, clutching the most ordinary piece of paper. "The investigation continues. Send the contents of this paper to the capital; they can conduct experiments there."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately grabbed a piece of paper to pass on the message. Just as he turned to take a couple of steps, the mayor said again, "Give me a cup of coffee. After the next meeting, tell everyone not to rush off. Once this message is passed on, the capital should be able to send the experimental results back soon."

"OK."

The words on the paper were indeed written by Rong Yi. The subordinate took the folded paper and quickly walked to the room next to the mayor, which was his office where he was in charge of handling the mayor's complicated affairs.

After sitting down, they immediately and secretly transmitted the message directly to the capital city.

Inside a research institute in the first city.

Yuan Heng played with the slightly reddish crystal in his hand, which resembled a dazzling gemstone. "With this, our technology can advance to a new level. You know, just this tiny crystal can launch a rocket successfully. Compared to carrying hundreds of tons of planetary fuel, do you know how much of an improvement that is!"

His eyes were filled with fervor as he held the crystal aloft, as if it were the sun.

Just then, someone tapped on the table. "Yuan Heng, stop going crazy. Zhongyang City has sent the latest news, and the research institute's cooperation is needed to confirm it. Come over here."

Yuan Heng lowered his hand, but still tightly gripped the reddish crystal. "Zhongyang City, one of the cities whose urban area was hit by a meteorite?"
