The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

The night wind rushed in through the gap in the broken curtain wall, making the entire observation deck sound like ghosts howling.

Li Haotian stood still, looking up at the eerie purple halo on the horizon. The light seemed alive, slowly flowing through the night sky, dimming the neon lights of the entire city.

The raider behind him used his tail blade to lift the "Undertaker's" mask, then dismissively flung it away.

The hostages in the far corner huddled together, not daring to utter a sound, even when they cried.

"Didi didi"

Li Haotian's phone vibrated in his pocket; it was an encrypted text message from Qin Yue.

[We are sealing off the building and will be storming the top floor in five minutes. Do not move!]

"Five minutes?"

Li Haotian glanced at the mess on the ground and the raider standing next to the "Undertaker's" corpse, curiously poking at it with its claws.

He gave mental commands to the raiders.

"Let's go home for dinner."

The raider let out a low hiss, its massive body silently retreating to the broken window. It glanced back at Li Haotian, then clung to the outer wall like a gecko, quickly disappearing into the shadows hundreds of meters above the city.

Get it done.

Li Haotian walked to the body of the "funeral director" and squatted down.

He reached out, rummaged through the corpse, and precisely pulled a black access card from its inner pocket.

"Employee access, thanks."

He put the card in his pocket and glanced at the few security cameras in the corner of the lobby.

The shadow installed in the corner of the wall twitched slightly, and wisps of smoke silently rose from the connection points of the probes, indicating that the internal hard drive was completely destroyed.

After doing all this, Li Haotian looked around.

His gaze fell on the little girl he had spoken to earlier; she was staring at him with wide, frightened eyes.

Li Haotian thought for a moment, then took out a lollipop from his pocket; it was strawberry flavored.

He walked over, put the candy in the little girl's hand, and patted her head.

"Uncle is a good person."

After saying that, without waiting for the little girl to react, he darted to the farthest corner of the hall, leaned against the wall, and squatted down with his head in his hands.

His expression changed instantly; the indifference and madness in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by extreme terror and bewilderment, and his body even began to tremble.

"boom!"

The alloy doors of the observation deck were forcibly broken open.

A dozen fully armed Dragon Shield agents filed in, their tactical movements impeccable, their dark gun barrels pointed at every corner of the hall.

Qin Yue, dressed in a black combat uniform, rushed in right behind her.

Then, everyone was stunned.

The anticipated fierce gunfight did not occur.

The entire observation deck was littered with spent shell casings, corpses lying in pools of blood, and several mercenaries who were clutching their heads, muttering to themselves, clearly mentally deranged.

And... Li Haotian, huddled in a corner, trembling like a frightened quail.

Qin Yue frowned deeply as she looked at the bizarre scene.

She walked quickly to Li Haotian and squatted down.

"Li Haotian? Are you alright?"

Li Haotian shuddered, raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was trembling with tears.

"Police officers? You've finally arrived!"

He grabbed Qin Yue's arm with such force that Qin Yue frowned.

"That's terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!"

"They...they suddenly started fighting amongst themselves! And they released a monster! Yes, right by that window!"

Li Haotian pointed at the huge hole, speaking incoherently.

"That monster killed them all! Then they went berserk! I... I barely managed to escape!"

Qin Yue looked at Li Haotian's "sincere" yet "fearful" eyes, and then at the horrific scene.

Indeed, the scene was very chaotic, as if an extremely bloody internal conflict had taken place.

The huge hole also confirms the claim that a "large creature" had broken in.

But she just felt something was off.

Something is very wrong.

"Where are the surveillance cameras?" Qin Yue asked her teammates behind her.

A technician immediately ran to check, and a few minutes later, he returned with a grim expression to report.

"Captain, all the physical hard drives used for surveillance have been burned out by the high-voltage current and cannot be repaired."

Qin Yue's gaze returned to Li Haotian, her eyes sharp as knives.

Li Haotian shuddered again under her gaze and shrank back.

"Officer, I... I'm just a concerned citizen who was passing by. I didn't see anything. I was just squatting here with my head in my hands the whole time."

"You all have to stand up for me!"

He suddenly stood up, pointing at his surroundings with a look of grief and indignation.

"Look at this! Is this a place fit for a human being? The security here is practically non-existent!"

"I have suffered severe psychological trauma! I demand compensation! Lost wages, emotional distress damages, and damages for the shock..."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and even managed to squeeze out a few tears.

"Why should I, an unarmed and law-abiding citizen, experience something like this? Tell me, isn't this a dereliction of duty on your part?"

The high-ranking officers of Dragon Shield, watching this scene through individual cameras in the command vehicle, all fell silent.

One of the younger team members couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"With acting skills like his, it's a waste that he doesn't deserve an Oscar..."

Qin Yue took a deep breath, suppressing the thousand galloping alpacas in her mind.

She stood up, her expression returning to its cold and serious demeanor.

"Li Haotian, now is not the time to discuss compensation."

"According to procedure, you need to come back with us to assist with the investigation."

She gave a wink to the two teammates beside her, and the two immediately stepped forward, one on each side, to "invite" Li Haotian to leave.

"Assist with the investigation? Where to? The police station?"

Li Haotian looked "warnified".

"I'm telling you, I have to be home before 8 p.m., or my mom will yell at me."

A vein throbbed on Qin Yue's forehead.

"That's the rule."

"Rules? What rules?" Li Haotian protested. "You can't bully honest people just because I'm handsome, can you?"

Just as the two special agents were about to touch his shoulder.

As if he had suddenly discovered a new continent, Li Haotian abruptly raised his hand and pointed to the eerie purple night sky outside the window.

He shouted with all his might.

"Holy crap! There's a UFO!"

That shout was full of energy and had a very strong penetrating power.

Almost instinctively, everyone, including Qin Yue, looked out the window in the direction he pointed.

The night sky remained unchanged, with only that patch of purple light flowing through it.

There are no flying saucers.

"not good!"

Qin Yue reacted instantly and turned around sharply.

There was no trace of Li Haotian in the corner.

The small door leading to the staff passageway in the elevator shaft was slowly closing.

Before Li Haotian slipped inside, he peeked out halfway and waved to Qin Yue.

There was no trace of fear on his face anymore, only that familiar, smug smile.

"Officer, it's fine to take your statement. I'll treat you to tea at the station another day."

"Now... don't keep me from getting home and collecting the laundry, it's going to rain."

"Bang!"

The door to the employee entrance locked immediately.

The entire observation deck fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Yue stood there, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her pretty face turning ashen with anger.

The special operations team members behind her looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to, their faces turning red from holding it in.

"team leader……"

One of the team members spoke cautiously.

"Should we pursue them?"

Qin Yue gritted her teeth and squeezed out three words.

"What he said...makes sense."

"what?"

"I said! Look at the sky! It's going to rain! Everyone, back to base!"
