Chapter 22 Another Threshold



Tsk tsk, can't compare, can't compare...

A mechanical voice then sounded, "Pioneer Xi Chunzhi, I detected that your heart rate is higher than normal and has reached the edge of anger. Here, I remind you that anger is harmful to your body and will prevent you from making timely and accurate judgments, which is not good for the next trip. I hope you can make adjustments in time."

"I wish you a happy life! Ding——"

As the mechanical sound fell to the ground, the elevator door opened and the 721 conference room opened before us.

Tu Ran was still wondering how this machine detected Xi Chunzhi's heart rate data when Xi Chunzhi had already walked into the large conference room.

Tu Ran hurriedly followed her.

The conference room was already full of people. After Xi Chunzhi and Tu Ran came in, some people looked at them, while some people lowered their heads, swiping at the electronic screen, looking at something intently.

Tu Ran followed Xi Chunzhi and found two empty chairs to sit down, then began to look around calmly, and then noticed a familiar-looking person sitting at the end of the conference table.

It’s Xie Xu.

Isn't he a researcher? Why is he in the meeting room of the pioneer team?

Tu Ran was puzzled.

A man in military uniform next to Xie Xu knocked on the table, the conference room became quiet, and the door closed automatically.

The distance was too far for Tu Ran to see the name on the soldier's name tag, but his upright and tough appearance made Tu Ran feel that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

But now is not the time to think about such questions, Tu Ran focused his attention on the other party's speech.

"Today I have something very serious to tell you." "Yesterday, in the northern state of Regaken, seventeen traces of alien species appeared in one day."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Even Tu Ran, who knew little about this world, realized the seriousness of the matter.

You know, Regaken State is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the administrative building in the federal center, and the only gate that can allow alien species to appear - the threshold, is located near the administrative building.

Yesterday was the opening day of the Threshold, and the last batch of pioneers who entered came out of the Threshold as long as they were alive. The only thing the aliens can contact is the pioneers, and the only way for them to come out of the Threshold safely instead of being shot into sieves by the guards outside the Threshold is to possess the pioneers.

However, the location information of the pioneers is monitored in real time.

If these seventeen aliens possessed the pioneers, even if they successfully passed the initial and reexamination, how could they escape the federal government's overwhelming surveillance and run to Regaken State, 2,000 kilometers away? This is almost impossible.

"How did these seventeen alien species get to Regaken State?"

Someone raised the same question as Tu Ran.

"We haven't found out their movements yet," the officer said with a heavy face. He slowly scanned the people present. "There were 241 pioneers who came out of the threshold yesterday, and there are 241 people sitting at the conference table now."

"It can be seen that the alien species did not come out with our pioneer team, and the person in charge of the executive department who guarded outside the threshold all day long guaranteed that they did not release any alien species."

"So now there is only one possibility. In addition to the alien gate at the center of the Federation, another threshold has arrived."

After he finished speaking, the meeting room became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
