It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 585 Hiding

Although she knew beforehand that the stranded creature was a giant sea monster, Pei Xianjue was still greatly surprised when she saw it with her own eyes.

The sea monster is similar in size to a whale, with a huge, hard fish head, ferocious fangs, bulging eyes, and gills on both sides that emit an unusually pungent, putrid odor. A large part of its body is submerged in shallow water, constantly being washed by seawater, making it deformed and ugly, and it is oozing foul-smelling pus.

The entire beach reeked because of this sea monster.

Pei Xianjue walked around the sea monster to the other side before she saw the woman on the sea monster's body.

The woman was emaciated, dressed in rags, her long hair clinging to her body like tangled seaweed, wet and glistening. She held a rope in her hand, the other end of which was tied to a sharp spike protruding from the back of a sea monster.

It was because of this rope that the woman survived the storm at sea and did not fall into the ocean.

As for the cards, they were scattered throughout the sea monster's corpse.

After personally inspecting the scene, Pei Xianjue looked at the unconscious woman and said, "Take her off the table first and see if she can be saved."

She then pressed the scales on the sea monster's body with her gloved hand.

The gloves were immediately covered with a layer of sticky black liquid.

Pei Xianjue frowned and said, "This monster is most likely poisonous. We can't just throw it into the sea. We need to get people from the lab to come and take samples for testing. We need to get the test results as soon as possible, and then we need to decompose and incinerate the body. The temperature has been high these past few days, so we have to be quick. If the body decomposes too much, a large amount of harmful gases will accumulate inside, which could cause an explosion. This would further deteriorate the ecological environment of this sea area."

She glanced back at the beach, pointed to a few spots, and said to the patrol team leader, "Shelp off the whole area from there...to there, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach."

Suddenly, one of the team members shouted, "Look here! This is a commonly used injection for alien species!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a syringe inserted into a rotting wound on the corpse. The syringe was empty; the medicine inside had long since been injected.

This means that some alien species once tried to save the sea monster.

“It seems they’re in cahoots.” Pei Xianjue looked coldly at the woman who had just been untied. “This sea monster is either a corrupted creature raised by the alien species, or it’s the alien species’ second form.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman on the ground let out a soft moan and slowly woke up.

The patrol team's alarms immediately went off, and they all raised their guns and aimed them at the woman!

Baozi immediately shielded Pei Xianjue behind him, watching the woman warily.

But the woman was too weak. She may have regained consciousness, but her eyes remained closed, and she was mumbling something unintelligible.

The gun was pointed at her for a minute, and her voice was intermittent, as if she might fall into a coma again at any moment.

Pei Xianjue's patience ran out. She frowned and looked at one of her teammates. "Go over and listen to what she has to say."

The team members cautiously approached with their guns raised, then bent down and listened carefully for a moment.

"It sounds like she's talking about... Mo Lanjiang, the Mo Lanjiang Bridge?" The team member was surprised and looked at Pei Xianjue. "General Pei, this woman keeps saying 'Mo Lanjiang Bridge'!"

Perhaps the team members were too loud, which startled the woman. She sat up abruptly and turned to look around!

"Am I here? Have we reached the Molanjiang Bridge?" the woman asked in a hoarse voice, looking around. "How far is the Molanjiang Bridge?"

Seeing this, one of the team members couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to the Molanjiang Bridge for?"

Then her gaze fell upon Bao Changzhi at the back of the crowd, and she exclaimed with delight, "Baozi!"

Baozi was startled by her shout.

Since arriving in the quarantine zone, apart from Pei Xianjue, he hadn't heard anyone else use his nickname for a long time; everyone usually called him Minister Bao. "You know her?" Pei Xianjue asked Baozi suspiciously.

When the woman saw Pei Xianjue's face again, she became even more agitated, her voice trembling with tears: "Xiaoyu!!!"

All the patrol team members looked at Pei Xianjue.

Pei Xianjue was completely baffled!
She took two steps forward and looked the woman over again, only to find that the woman was so thin that she looked unrecognizable, with a pale face that resembled skin and bones, and was completely unfamiliar to her.

The woman wailed like a child: "I've finally seen you, Xiaoyu! You have no idea, I almost died in Mogu, I thought I would never see you again, waaaaaah!"

Pei Xianjue felt unfamiliar with the woman at first, but when she cried, she felt a vague sense of familiarity.

She suddenly recalled her previous phone call with Feng Ling, who told her to have Huangfu Miaomiao come to find her, and the agreed meeting place was the Molanjiang Bridge.

Pei Xianjue was still unsure, so she frowned and tentatively asked, "How...how did you become like this?"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Miaomiao's tears flowed even faster. She felt that her life was too miserable and choked out, "Someone swapped bodies with me. It's a long story... Can you contact Feng Ling? Feng Ling doesn't know that I escaped. I need to tell her as soon as possible."

Pei Xianjue's tense heart immediately relaxed considerably, and she realized that the person in front of her was undoubtedly Huangfu Miaomiao.

Because apart from Huangfu Miaomiao, no other species dared to contact Feng Ling so frankly.

"Wait a moment, I'll try calling." Pei Xianjue took out her phone and dialed Feng Ling's number.

The phone cannot be reached.

Baozi whispered to Pei Xianjue, "In yesterday's news, Feng Ling transformed into her second form, so her phone is probably not on her."

Pei Xianjue is now considered a high-ranking official, and her information network is better than that of the news. She knows that Feng Ling is safe and sound and has already arrived in Lisa.

After thinking for a few seconds, she called Huang Yi.

The call was answered quickly this time.

Pei Xianjue said succinctly, "Hello, I am Pei Xianjue, the person in charge of the Guangnan quarantine area. I have an urgent matter to discuss with Feng Ling. Please pass on my message."

Huang Yi paused for a moment before replying, "Feng Ling is preparing for the upcoming press conference. I will try to get you five minutes of talk time. The press conference will end in an hour, and you can call back then."

“Understood, I’ll keep it brief,” Pei Xianjue said.

There is a time difference of more than four hours between Riza and the quarantine zone. It is already past midnight here, while Riza is about to hold a press conference.

The phone was quickly handed to Feng Ling.

Suddenly having to talk to Feng Ling made Pei Xianjue a little excited. Before she could speak, Feng Ling on the other end of the phone asked, "Did Miaomiao come to see you?"

Pei Xianjue was surprised, "How did you know?"

Feng Ling laughed and said, "I doubt you would call me in such a hurry for anything else."

Pei Xianjue glanced at Huangfu Miaomiao not far away, "She did come to see me, but she has changed a lot. I can't recognize her at all. She said she swapped bodies with someone else. Do you think we should talk to her directly to verify if it is really her?"

“No need, it should be her,” Feng Ling said. “A lot happened in between, and it’s hard to explain in a few words. Xiao Yu, do me a favor first.”

"Okay, go ahead," Pei Xianjue said, listening attentively.

Feng Ling said, "Hide the little skeleton and don't let anyone know she exists. The aliens will do everything they can to find her, so you must hide her well."
