At around six in the morning, the sun slowly rose.
Lu Chengchuan was sitting on a chair with the meteorite in front of him. A group of people and instruments were surrounding the stone to test it, and armed soldiers were nearby to protect them.
The testing lasted from around 2 a.m. to now, and the testers did not stop until the sun appeared.
Researching the meteorite did not require the help of Lu Chengchuan and others, so he had nothing to do and could only find a place to sit down. Next to him were the people from the Investigation Bureau who had nothing to do.
They were the only ones who were so relaxed at the scene, while the rest of the soldiers and researchers were so busy that they were dizzy.
The government has dispatched more than 2,000 people from the 355th Regiment of the 2nd Division to garrison. The periphery of the landing point is under strict surveillance by the army. Now people and animals cannot enter. Perhaps only monsters can enter.
The army cut down the trees and weeds around the meteorite and cleared a wide space.
The researchers placed various instruments around the meteorite and built several temporary barracks around it.
In addition to them, the superpowers from the Superpower Management Bureau also came to help. A group of people gathered here to guard against monsters at all times.
"Captain Zhou, how long will they keep doing this?"
When it was completely light, Lu Chengchuan asked Zhou Yaning who was sitting next to him.
"I don't know. Let's wait."
"Why not pull the meteorite back for research? It's not difficult to do. Can't we take it back and study it slowly?" Lu Chengchuan couldn't understand. Does it have to be studied here?
With so many people, can’t they move a stone?
Zhou Yaning shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe they have some considerations."
"Captain Zhou, breakfast is ready, you guys should eat first."
After a long night, everyone except Lu Chengchuan was hungry. When the meal was ready, Zhou Yaning and the others decided to eat first. Although Lu Chengchuan wasn't hungry, he had nothing else to do, so he got up and went to eat with them.
They came to the temporary canteen, got a bowl of rice and sat back down in their previous seats.
It was past eight o'clock when a group of people finished their meal one after another. Only the researchers were like possessed people. They didn't eat or drink water, and were still excitedly studying the meteorite.
"Aren't there meteors in other places? Why are there no news from other places?"
He saw hundreds of meteors flying in all directions. It couldn't be that only the meteorites near Anyang City were preserved, while the others exploded when they hit the ground.
"I don't care where else I go. This is the director's job."
He has no control over other places, she just needs to ensure the safety here.
"All we have to do is wait. They are all big names in Anyang's scientific research field, scholars in materials and biology. How they conduct their research is their business, and it's not for us outsiders to interfere."
Zhou Yaning acted according to the orders of her superiors, and there were some things she could not interfere in.
Lu Chengchuan also understood this truth. Although he did not finish college due to illness, everyone has their own expertise, and some things are indeed very different.
It was not until noon that some of the researchers went to eat, and the other half were still doing research. They took turns eating and resting, but they never stopped studying the meteorite.
Lu Chengchuan and the others stayed here until dusk. Judging from the attitude of those researchers, he would stay here tonight.
"Brother Lu, do you think everyone can practice martial arts?"
In the evening, with nothing to do, he started chatting with the people from the Investigation Bureau. Qian Xiaoling was very curious about him, especially about his martial arts.
Before they became superpowers, they had fought with Lu Chengchuan, and the result was horrific.
After awakening her powers and becoming a superpower, she thought she could fight with Lu Chengchuan, but the gap between them didn't seem to narrow, but instead seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Everyone should be able to practice it, but whether or not you can succeed depends on your talent."
Lu Chengchuan didn't know what to say. He didn't learn from the formal way, so there were some things he couldn't explain.
"Aren't there warriors in the Investigation Bureau? You can ask them. Maybe they know more than me."
"But they are not as powerful as you. They also need weapons to deal with monsters when they encounter them."
The warriors from the Investigation Bureau are completely different from Lu Chengchuan. Even if all the warriors from the Guangnan Provincial Investigation Bureau were tied together, they would still be no match for Lu Chengchuan.
"Xiao Ling, stop rambling..."
Zhou Yaning was about to tell Xiao Ling to shut up, but before she could finish her words, a sudden voice interrupted her.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
There were gunshots. The soldiers who were guarding the perimeter were firing. Once the gunshots started, they couldn't stop. Within a few seconds, the gunshots became the only sound here.
"Captain Zhou! A large number of monsters appeared all around, and my soldiers encountered them!"
Soon, the leader of the 355th Regiment came to them and told them what had happened.
Upon learning that monsters were attacking from all sides, Zhou Yaning immediately stood up and said, "Captain Li, send your people to protect the scholars. Send some people over from the meteorite as well. We must stop the monsters!"
"Don't worry about us. Come to me if you need anything."
The quiet night suddenly became lively. Lu Chengchuan stood up and walked to the meteorite.
"Captain Li, what's going on?"
The researchers were frightened by the sudden gunshots, but they did not want to give up their research. For a moment, everyone surrounded the meteorite and did not move.
"Dean Yang, we don't have time to explain this to you right now. You and the other scholars should follow me first. We will protect the meteorite and the equipment. Once this matter is resolved, you can come out and do the research."
Li Shiwen didn't have time to explain too much to them, he just asked them to follow him.
The researcher knew something was wrong, but he didn't care about anything else and left with his assistant and the team leader.
They were sent to armored vehicles, where soldiers set up heavy machine guns around them and the drivers were on standby at all times, ready to drive away if anything went wrong.
Lu Chengchuan approached the meteorite again, wondering if the monster came for the meteorite.
"Tell me, did the monster come here for this thing?"
He was still thinking about this when Zhou Yaning asked directly.
Only monsters know the answer to this question, but there are not so many coincidences in the world. There are some coincidences in the time and place of the monster's appearance. They believe that the monster was attracted by the meteorite.
The soldiers on the periphery were trying to intercept the monsters, but some of them still broke through the defense line.
Amid the sound of gunfire, Lu Chengchuan heard hurried footsteps.
"The monsters are coming, get ready."
Zhou Yaning and the others didn't hear any footsteps, so Lu Chengchuan reminded them to get ready.
Before they could react, monsters rushed out of the woods, including zombies, ghouls, white-armored beasts, and all kinds of monsters they had seen and had not seen before.
"Stop them!"
When the monster appeared, Li Shiwen ordered to open fire on the spot. There were about a hundred soldiers in the meteorite, and more than a hundred guns fired at the same time. The monster in the front was shot into a sieve and fell to the ground instantly.
But only low-level monsters fell, and higher-level monsters rushed forward with bullets.
There seemed to be monsters everywhere, and the firepower of more than a hundred people was not enough to stop all the monsters.
