Alien Hotel.

Chapter 420 Unveiling
Even the omnipotent Mr. Sun felt a little annoyed.

He was originally leading his men to repair a road at the edge of the Black Forest, but suddenly he received a call from Yu Sheng, saying that there was a special "small job" from another place that needed help. The simple civil engineer brother did not think much about it, and followed Yu Sheng's instructions and led his men and equipment through a gate that appeared directly at the edge of the Black Forest - only then did he realize that the so-called "small job" was to dig out a nine-tailed demon fox from a pile of molten crystal.

Moreover, this nine-tailed demon fox was stuck in the ground because of a space-based bombing.

"I'm serious," Engineer Sun's voice came out from the speaker of the power armor, sounding a little muffled, "I've dug trenches on planets on the verge of disintegration, paved roads in strange spaces contaminated by entities, and even built bunkers in wastelands infested by insect swarms - but I've never seen a scene like this. Following you really broadens my horizons."

"Don't mention you. I also think it's quite informative." Yu Sheng was happy and turned to look at Engineer Sun. "Just tell me if you can do it. If not, I'll ask the civil engineers at Qianfeng Lingshan to think of a solution."

"You are looking down on me. I have never done this job before, and it is not difficult." Engineer Sun glanced at Yu Sheng. The pride of a civil engineer made him accept the job without hesitation. "Hold the door open first. I will ask the brothers to go back and get some more suitable tools. The ones we have now are not suitable."

After a while, several workers brought by Mr. Sun changed into suitable equipment and started working around Hu Li.

The jackhammers in the hands of the civil engineering guys roared, the cutting machines rumbled, and the ground around Hu Li was full of sparks and flying crystal dust.

Yu Sheng followed Irene and Luna to watch the fun.

Mr. Sun stood beside him, observing the place curiously.

The environment of Garrison-3 is not suitable for human survival, with severe radiation and toxic atmosphere. Therefore, Engineer Sun and the civil engineering buddies he brought with him all wore heavy, engineering power armor specially designed for alien operations. Although this outfit is not as majestic as Xu Jiali's armor, it also has the unique heaviness and power texture of engineering machinery. The only thing worth complaining about is that Engineer Sun also made a lot of messy graffiti on his armor, the most eye-catching of which is the line of big words on the chest armor plate: AAA Civil Construction Brother Sun.

He was obviously quite proud of his equipment. From time to time, he released a small drone from his arm and took a selfie with the desolate alien background behind him. Every movement was showing off his power armor.

After taking pictures for a long time, he turned his gaze to Yu Sheng. He hesitated for a few seconds with a subtle expression on his face before he couldn't help but speak: "Honestly, I know you are special, but I didn't expect you don't even need a protective suit in a place like this - aren't you really suffocating?"

"Well, this place really smells bad, so I haven't breathed for a long time," Yu Sheng thought for a moment and waved his hand honestly, "I'm a very adaptable person, I can breathe or not breathe."

"...I think this is not a problem of adaptability," Engineer Sun's eyes twitched, but after all, he had dealt with Yu Sheng many times and was a senior employee of the Secret Service, so he quickly skipped over this "insignificant little problem." "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about this place... What on earth did you fight with? It's such a big deal."

"It's still unclear what that thing is, but I suspect it has something to do with the Dark Angel," Yu Sheng saw Sun Gong's face change, and waved his hand halfway through his words, "Don't be nervous, the Dark Angel's real body is definitely not here. If that thing's real body is here, this fight won't end so easily."

Mr. Sun's face was still frozen, and after a long while he managed to utter one word: "...Fuck."

"We haven't figured out the true state of the 'enemy' yet, so we'll need your help later," Yu Shengze continued, recalling the various illusions he had seen in the process of establishing a "connection" with the crystalline jungle. "After we dig out the lizard, I'd like you to continue digging around. There should be some residual 'crystal dendrite' structures under the stratum here. We need to take samples and send them to the Special Service Bureau. Zheng Zhi has reported this to his superiors before, and your director knows how to deal with it."

Listening to Yu Sheng talking about these serious matters, Engineer Sun's expression had become very serious. He nodded solemnly: "No problem, we have done this kind of work before - but when recovering samples, we need to send people from the bureau. We are only good at rough work. The packaging, storage and transfer of high-risk samples are delicate operations, which are the work of the special recovery team."

Yu Sheng had already taken out his cell phone: "I know, I'll send a message to your director right now."

As they were talking, a sound of breaking earth and rocks suddenly came from not far away, interrupting the communication between Yu Sheng and Engineer Sun.

Yu Sheng looked up and saw that the civil engineering guys on Hu Li's side were retreating one after another. Some of them were shouting as they retreated, "Dig it up, dig it up! Hide from her claws, retreat, retreat, retreat--"

After the civil engineering guys had retreated to a safe distance, Hu Li swayed his body on the spot, carefully put his four legs on the ground, then pushed back and pulled his head out of the ground.

The dusty nine-tailed silver fox sat there blankly, supporting herself on the ground with her two front paws. Around her neck was a circle of stones that had not completely fallen off. Her eyes looked a little dazed. After a long while, she shook her head left and right, shattering the circle of stones on her neck. There was another sound of flying sand and rocks on the spot.

While dodging the rocks that fell from above, Yu Sheng looked up at the big fox that seemed a little dazed, and called out to it in a hoarse voice: "Hu Li, how do you feel?"

"My head is buzzing," Hu Li said honestly. Although his eyes were still a little dazed, he quickly lowered his head and nuzzled Yu Sheng with his nose. "My ears are filled with rumbling noises."

Yu Sheng was amused when he heard this. He certainly knew why Hu Li's head was buzzing. After all, a group of civil engineers in power armor had been drilling around her head for half an hour. Who wouldn't be confused? "That's impossible. It's going to be hard to dig you out. The rocks and crystals around your head have all melted into one piece."

Hu Li shook her head again, shaking off the gravel and other things on her head. She seemed to have finally recovered and looked happy again. She stretched out her tongue to lick Yu Sheng (this action almost knocked the latter away), and then a thunderous roar came from her stomach.

"My benefactor, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Yu Sheng's head was buzzing after Hu Li hit him with his tongue, and then he broke into a cold sweat when he heard these words. But he reacted and quickly opened a door that was large enough for Hu Li in fox form to walk in: "Eat, eat. I've already contacted the Secret Service, and they have prepared the cafeteria for you."

Hu Li looked up and saw the Secret Service canteen across the gate, as well as those friendly and familiar cooks, and his eyes lit up immediately. Yu Sheng only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and when he reacted again, Hu Li had already rushed into the canteen across the street.

Irene leaned on Yu Sheng's shoulder and looked across the door, sighing, "What a tough battle..."

Yu Sheng: "It's okay. The Secret Service is experienced and knowledgeable..."

Engineer Sun was standing next to the door with cold sweat pouring down his face. He glanced at the scene across the door which had already begun to be swept away, shook his head, and sympathized with his colleagues in the bureau in his heart, and then he focused his attention back on the work at hand.

"Then... start digging?"

"Let's get started," Yu Sheng nodded, raised his hand and pointed at the big hole that Hu Li had just smashed with his head. At the same time, he used the connection established by the blood to carefully sense the weak reactions left deep underground. "Start from here. I'll tell you the general structure below."

……

Shuji, Mocheng.

The rain hasn't stopped yet.

Xuan Che came to the City Lord's Mansion again - this time at the invitation of City Lord Mo Ran.

According to the request of Xuan Che, the "immortal envoy", Mo Ran contacted Shu Ji's "Star-Zhening Elder" yesterday and invited him to the city today. Judging from the time, he should be here soon.

Now Xuan Che was waiting for the Zhenxing Elder in the reception room. While waiting, he also learned about what happened in Weishu-3 from the message sent by Yu Sheng.

The strange crystal forest, the "Yun Qingzi" that appeared in the crystal cluster, the strange signal coming from deep underground, and the "echo" between Wei Shu-3 and Shu Ji that spanned the starry sky...

Xuan Che frowned tightly and stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside with a serious expression.

His spiritual sense spread out bit by bit, and now covered the entire city lord's mansion. At the same time, it slowly extended to a farther distance, carefully detecting this border city shrouded in rain.

Everything is normal in the city, people are coming and going on the roads, and the central area is still prosperous. Even though the former mining pillar has declined, as the largest city on the planet, everything in Mo City can still be called prosperous.

But he still felt something was wrong, a kind of... weird sense of disharmony, a sense of coldness, as if he was submerged in something, just like the incessant rain outside the window that enveloped everything and made him uneasy.

Especially after receiving the message from Garrison-3, this feeling of uneasiness and disharmony became more and more obvious.

There is a breath approaching.

Xuan Che immediately adjusted his expression, gathered his spirits, and turned to look at the door of the reception room.

The door opened and Mo City Lord Mo Ran appeared at the door.

The woman with a dignified appearance and calm temperament bowed to Xuan Che and said, "Excuse me for waiting. Elder Dao Heng has arrived."

As she spoke, she took a half step to the side, pretending to let someone in, and then raised her hand to introduce: "This is the Star Guardian of Shuji, Elder Daoheng."

Then, she pointed at Xuan Che and said, "Elder Dao Heng, this is the immortal envoy from Taixu Lingshu, Immortal Xuan Che, who comes on behalf of Qianfeng Lingshan."

The room was silent for two seconds, and Mo Ran bowed slightly: "Then I won't disturb you two anymore."

Xuan Che stood in front of the window, looking at Mo Ran and those around him with a calm expression.

There were only him and Mo Ran in the room, and there was no one else at the door.
