Tsk, she doesn’t like the number four either.

It's so unlucky.

After sighing softly, she chose to stay in her own team of ten and listen to the others discussing countermeasures.

Where should they go to find the aliens? How should they deploy their troops? How should they capture the aliens and try to avoid harming ordinary citizens? Among the guards of the executive department temporarily controlled by their fourth team, a young guard stepped forward and handed them an electronic screen.

The green light of the screen was projected into the air so that everyone could see it.

On this light curtain is a map, which should be the map of Regaken State. More than forty places are marked on it and circled in red, making them particularly eye-catching.

The guard explained seriously: "The forty-three places marked here are where the bodies of the victims were found."

He randomly selected a red circle and drew his hands in the air a few times. The circle gradually enlarged and the street and the buildings on both sides appeared clearly. A store that looked like a hardware store had a yellow warning strip in front of it, and a pedestrian happened to walk past the door.

Tu Ran then realized that what they were watching was a surveillance video.

The camera zoomed in again and actually entered the interior of the store, and the three-dimensional interior scene of the store appeared before the eyes.

Tu Ran guessed that the scene he was seeing now was not a surveillance scene. After all, many surveillance blind spots, such as behind doors, could now be seen clearly. Perhaps this was the federal government's holographic photography technology, which restored the scene in three dimensions.

Tu Ran thought of her holographic ring. The effect would probably be the same after the shooting was completed and processed by the research institute.

From the current scene, this is indeed a hardware store, with scattered old electrical appliances piled up on the shelves. The only difference from the hardware store in Tu Ran's impression is that there are mechanical skulls, mechanical limbs, and artificial eyes on the shelves here, with complex wire connections and entanglements exposed outside.

These are things Tu Ran has never seen before.

The camera circled the hardware store and stopped on the floor in the corner.

The camera zooms in.

It is a highly restored corpse.

A flat belly, bloodless lips, sunken eye sockets, a skinny figure, and ribs faintly visible under the baggy clothes.

With just a quick glance, Tu Ran determined that all the organs in the corpse's abdomen had been hollowed out. Even from the degree of descent of the eye sockets, the corpse's eyeballs were gone. Tu Ran guessed that his brain marrow was most likely sucked out as well.

This should be the result of being possessed by an alien species, becoming a body with only a skeleton.

The guard said, "This is the owner of the hardware store. He was found dead in his shop by a customer this morning."

He operated the screen to bring up a photo. The photo showed a body with the same death condition as the hardware store owner. "This is a body we found in the cabinet under the cash register of the hardware store owner. The surveillance showed that he was the first customer to enter the hardware store yesterday morning."

Tu Ran had some speculations. The alien possessed a customer of the hardware store and walked into the hardware store. Then he took a fancy to the owner of the hardware store, so he occupied the owner's body and stuffed the customer's body into the cash register. Now that the owner of the hardware store is dead, it means that the alien has changed its host again.
