"You mean to say that the alien invaders have already discovered us?" Wei Shishi's voice was filled with shock. "That's impossible! This area is under surveillance by our Wei family. How could they..."
Li Wenxi
I was also slightly surprised: "So the contaminated soil is because..."
"Forget about your surveillance. I can keep you from noticing if I'm careful. It's too easy for them to evade your surveillance." Xu Ying curled her lips, "And..."
She had a bad suspicion in her mind.
"And what?" Wei Shishi asked.
Although she was a little annoyed by Xu Ying's disdain for their technology, she didn't dare to lose her temper because it concerned the fate of mankind.
"It's just my guess." Xu Ying looked at the city outside the window. "You have to know that those lackeys of the alien invaders are also human beings, humans who survived thousands of years ago, or new humans who were born in the past thousand years."
“…Your consciousness is saying…!”
"Well, perhaps there are already lackeys living in your city, posing as ordinary humans!"
Her words made the hearts of the three people, including herself, suddenly hang in the air.
This conjecture... is a bit creepy.
But, it is indeed very likely!
Xu Ying spoke again, "What I can confirm is that fifty years ago, this area was not polluted. Therefore, the land contamination occurred within these fifty years."
"If the land contamination is indeed caused by the teleporter, then based on the area, the teleporter must have been used at least hundreds of times, possibly even hundreds or thousands of times."
"Why place a teleportation device here, and why teleport so many times?"
"If it's to infiltrate this city, then it's very possible."
"Those lackeys are teleported again and again just to fit in with the life here."
The three of them were silent for a long time, thinking about the possibility of this matter.
"I have a question," Li Wenxi asked. "Those lackeys all have the bloodmarked mutation gene, right? If they have bloodmarks on their faces and bodies, it wouldn't be easy for them to blend in here, right?"
"The first generation did have blood streaks. But blood streak mutations aren't hereditary," Xu Ying explained. "Perhaps they used individuals from later generations who didn't undergo the mutation?"
"It's irrational." This time it was Wei Shishi who spoke up. "The population has increased by hundreds or even thousands of people for no reason. It's impossible for us not to notice it."
"What if these hundreds or thousands of people entered gradually over the course of fifty years?" Xu Ying asked. "If it was just a few people per year, would you be able to detect it?"
"Yes. At least in the nearby cities. This is the core area, and we don't allow unregistered people to exist here. Unless they stay underground, they won't be able to do anything in official occasions. Even walking will be spotted by the police. Just like you did before."
"I see...it seems your technology has improved a lot in the past fifty years." Xu Ying pondered. "That really doesn't make much sense. But...what if they're not joining, but replacing?"
"Replace... on behalf of...?" Wei Shishi's voice changed slightly.
"Kill them, pretend to be them, and live here in their place." Xu Ying said in a deep voice.
"Isn't this... more difficult than the previous one?" Li Wenxi asked.
"Don't underestimate alien technology." Xu Ying shook her head. "Changing your face is so easy, even humans thousands of years ago could do it. As for fingerprints and genes, as long as the average person doesn't commit a crime, who would check fingerprints and keep records? So..."
She asked Wei Shishi, "Have you ever heard of someone experiencing a drastic change in personality, memory fuzziness, or even amnesia? If there are hundreds or thousands of people, maybe there's some clue? Like, some strange disease or something."
"Yes." Wei Shishi's voice trembled slightly.
"Forget it, if there is no, then there is no...ah? Yes?" Xu Ying's eyes widened suddenly, "Really?"
"It's true."
"Who is it? A lot of people? Do you know anyone?"
"My grandfather."
“Your grandfather… ah?!”
