Yan Lin's lips trembled: "Someone has to survive!"
Yan Guanshan smoothed his hair and tugged at his lips: "...Let me think..."
"There's no time." Yan Lin stubbed out his cigarette. "Tonight, before midnight, you must give me a definite answer!"
"……good."
The second video clip.
Time: Same day
Note: At 11:55 PM on the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, an important decision was recorded.
The camera was focused on Yan Guanshan, who looked somewhat tired, perhaps due to the intense combat of the past few days, or perhaps because of the decision he had just made.
"A brief record. On the 23rd day of the Lunar New Year, an unusual species was found gathering in the sea, raising suspicions that a massive surge might be planned."
From the 24th to the 27th, a series of alien attacks occurred in the city, with the number of attacks increasing exponentially every day. The crisis level is expected to be around level two.
During these four days of mission, the following issues were discovered:
1. The alien attack was organized, premeditated, and planned, and the suspected locations and targets were selective.
2. The purpose of the alien attacks is unclear. Alien swarms typically involve surprise attacks, but this time they have repeatedly attacked civilians, intentionally creating chaos and drawing attention. It is unknown what connection this has with subsequent invasions.
3. Among the alien species, a new type of alien species with the ability to molt skin was discovered, similar to the camouflage ability of marine creatures.
To prevent the spread of similar alien species, the city has recently been placed under martial law, with personnel conducting thorough checks, but with little effect, leading to suspicions that many areas in the city have been infiltrated by alien species.
Today, the afternoon of the 28th, I received an urgent order from my department to lead my elite squad to escort important personnel and documents out of Chaohai City as soon as possible.
Now, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept the mission and return to Haicheng to assist Chaozhou after breaking through the encirclement and ensuring the safety of key personnel.
Record complete.
Video sent to: Yan Lin.
The third video clip.
Date: February 8, 299 (December 29th in the lunar calendar)
Upon opening the content, one is greeted by a scene of blood everywhere.
Yan Guanshan's white clothes were now stained, and he leaned on his spear, breathing heavily.
Opposite them were several blue-green monsters with gills and soft spines.
They were in an office, and on the floor lay Yan Lin, the second executive officer of Chaohai City!
Yan Lin's death was extremely gruesome!
A bone spur, sharp as a blade, pierced his chest; his hand gripped the end of the spur tightly.
He... committed suicide!
Outside the video, everyone was astonished and wondering: what happened in the middle of the night?
Yan Guanshan supplemented this part with his narration:
"That night, after sending the video, I felt that delay might cause problems, so I wanted to act as soon as possible and went directly to Yan Lin."
However, when I arrived, I found that there was no one alive in his house anymore.
It contains many mindless monsters, soulless alien beings draped in pieces of fresh human skin. The higher their cultivation level, the more perfectly they can disguise themselves as humans.
I was spurred on by a burst of anger and charged forward, but it was too late.
When I arrived, I found that Yanlin was already dead.
Moreover, he stabbed himself to death.
"I think it's because he was also controlled by that monster, and it was a highly skilled alien species that could perfectly peel off other people's skin."
The monster wanted to use his human skin, and to prevent the worst from happening, Yan Lin chose to commit suicide.
Yan Guanshan clenched his fists, regretting, "I didn't notice his abnormality sooner, and I couldn't save him."
"When he was killed, I only felt disgusted by this alien ability and was far from realizing the urgency of the situation."
“He had noticed something was wrong with his body beforehand and left me a letter in advance.”
In the video, dazzling flames engulfed the monster and burned down the house that might have been hiding its cubs. Only a blood-stained letter was brought out.
The letter contained only one sentence:
"Guan Shan, go to the west of the city! Take your men and leave! Quickly!!!"
Yan Guanshan immediately headed west of the city at full speed.
There are elite squads ready to go, and key personnel from Project "Spark".
The AI camera automatically locked onto him and followed him the whole time.
When he ran into the street, he suddenly stopped, as if his body had fallen into an ice cellar.
What's this?
Blue-green seaweed-like plants spread along the entire street, and the shops and buildings on both sides of the street were all wrapped in blue-green velvet, like giant cocoons.
When he arrived, the streets were only slightly damp, due to the moisture brought by the invasion of marine alien species.
But now, seawater has flooded the streets, and strong winds continue to whip up seawater, pouring it down from the sky.
The seawater was filled with many strange-looking creatures, carrying an indescribable smell.
Washed by the salty seawater, the seaweed becomes bright and even more vibrant;
Corpses floated in the red seawater, emitting a strong stench.
Standing in the water, there were people on the street, many people... no, perhaps they couldn't be considered people...
They wandered aimlessly, seaweed like a newly fashionable item, strung around everyone's neck. Even after it pierced through, it would wrap around them several more times.
It has no breath, no body temperature, and no sensation, yet it moves freely.
Yan Guanshan keenly noticed that tiny colored particles were spreading from the seaweed.
He subconsciously slowed his breathing, and the [Phoenix Fire] within his body automatically activated, burning away any particles that might be present around his mouth, nose, and body.
What is this?
His heart pounded, and a terrifying thought sprouted from the ground.
Humans are like petri dishes for these seaweeds.
Besides seaweed, there are also those alien species that can shed their skin.
They ruthlessly plucked at the corpses, grabbing a head at random, tearing off flesh and grafting it onto their own bodies.
