Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Full Outbreak Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Full Outbreak Xiao Jian was the first to react. He briskly walked to the wall and turned off all the lights.
The room instantaneously plunged into darkness, accompanied by an eerie silence…
Everyone’s eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. Xiao Jian quietly moved to the window and slightly lifted a corner of the curtain. Moonlight stread in, casting its glow on everyone’s slightly pale faces.
At that mont, even breathing was extrely light and slow.
In the distance, the sounds of chaotic footsteps grew louder and more frantic, accompanied by low growls similar to those of beastn.
They slowly moved to the window, looking out through the large French windows towards the iron gate and the fortified walls of the outer court.
—Despite everything being blocked by the iron gate and walls, they still stood by the window watching.
The sounds drew closer, and finally reached their nearest point! Dark shadows sporadically leaped over the iron gate. One after another, they sprinted towards the mountain as if fatally attracted to sothing there. Several passed by their villa, their sharp claws screeching against the iron gate, making such a grating noise that Bai Kairui nervously covered his mouth, fearful of making a sound. Even the usually composed Xiao Jian, gripped a gun tightly in his hand.
Han Jiaojiao held Han Yi’s hand in the dark. She wasn’t afraid; there was a tal net above the iron gate and they couldn’t break through. Even if they did, they still had guns and bullets.
But… why had so many alien species suddenly appeared? Could sothing have happened in the village at the foot of the mountain?
Han Yi clasped her hand back in silence and raised his other hand to check his watch.
It seed like they had been waiting a long ti, yet it also felt like just a brief mont. After the noise outside finally ceased, Han Yi led Han Jiaojiao to sit on the sofa and slowly said, “Two minutes, approximately a kiloter’s distance, but this speed is likely just their normal traveling speed, not their fastest burst speed.”
Lu Changyuan also sat down, “It takes three to four minutes for a normal human to cover a kiloter. We can preliminarily conclude that the alien species’ speed is twice that of a normal human.”
Yan Xiao’s voice trembled slightly, “They… jump very high.” He saw those shadows nearly reaching the tal net several tis.
Lu Changyuan’s voice was still rational. “No, it seems high, but considering their body length and size, their jumping power is actually only a bit higher than humans’.
Xiao Jian still stood by the window, warily watching outside, and whispered, “Their target is very consistent, all heading towards the mountain, but why?”
Han Yi shook his head, “That direction only leads to the mountaintop villa, but my ability cannot see what is happening there.”
Han Yi’s spiritual power could perate like water into any place. Through this ability, his ntal search operated like an infrared radar scan, allowing him to see distant areas beyond his line of sight—terrain, architectural structures, creatures, as if they appeared as three-dinsional images in his brain. Currently, his detection distance was one kiloter, but this distance was only theoretical. When obstructions are dense, this distance would decrease. For example, if the nearby area was a flat, unobstructed plaza, his spiritual power could effortlessly cover it completely, but if it were surrounded by high-rise buildings, the spiritual power would need to perate through countless reinforced concrete, thus reducing the effective distance of exploration.
The villa in the direction of the mountain peak, and their villa, were separated by a very dense forest.
When everyone fell silent, Han Jiaojiao softly spoke.
“It must be the Empress.” She paused, then continued, “A mature Empress emits a scent that ordinary people can’t detect, but the alien species can sll it from a great distance and go crazy for it.”
Lu Changyuan asked, “What happens when they find the Empress?”
Han Jiaojiao instinctively furrowed her brow, “Building a nest.”
Everyone’s expression turned serious.
This was indeed not good news. Just when they were preparing to spend the next two months here, the Alien Species was also planning to build a nest here?
Han Jiaojiao rembered this ti in her past life. She was volunteering outside when the Alien Species suddenly appeared, their insane feeding frenzy drove them towards the crowd, the situation completely spiraled out of control. In the chaos, it was her brother who found her and brought her back to the villa. During that ti, she spent every day in constant fear, witnessing one after another person in the villa dying—so from disease, so killed by the Alien Species, and so who turned into Alien Species and were killed by her brother.
…Later, as the Alien Species grew in number, they burst into the yard, shattered the tempered glass door, and she and her brother hid in the basent. She could almost hear the Alien Species walking overhead every day, they wandered around the villa searching for the last bit of food…
Back then, she was so consud by fear that she never thought about where the food and water ca from or who was keeping watch while she slept. Looking back now, she felt heartache for her brother…
Han Jiaojiao wrapped her arm around Han Yi’s, drawing closer to him in the darkness.
Han Yi unconsciously curved into a slight smile.
While enjoying his sister’s affection, he slowly began, “The Alien Species that just ran past, about thirty or so, plus the original ones in the villa area, the number is still within a controllable range. The villa area must be cleaned up, but since they are accustod to being active at night, we will act during the day.”
After Han Yi finished, he scanned the expressions of everyone before his gaze finally rested on Lu Changyuan’s face, “Changyuan, work hard tonight and co up with a plan.”
Han Jiaojiao knew her brother was preparing to destroy the nests of the Alien Species. Now was indeed the best ti. Once the nests beca established, more Alien Species would be attracted here by the scent, they would frequently hunt nearby, and the Empress would keep laying eggs… If they act now while it was still possible, they could ensure the villa’s safety and avoid being besieged by the Alien Species.
Lu Changyuan very readily nodded, Han Jiaojiao even caught a glimpse of an eager expression on his face, and even the usually timid Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui showed only agreent.
Han Jiaojiao straightened up from his embrace and said, “Brother Lu is planning tonight, let keep watch during that ti.”
Han Yi nodded and said, “Hmm, brother will accompany you.”
Han Jiaojiao shook her head, “Brother, the person who needs rest the most right now is you. You have been using your Ability since earlier. Besides, it’s only for two hours, I won’t be tired.”
Two whole hours of being on edge, two whole hours on high alert—of course, claiming she wasn’t tired was false, but she wanted her brother to rest even more. She felt that what her brother needed most right now was to rest properly.
In her past life, it was always her brother who protected her; this life, she also wanted to do sothing.
Just as Han Yi was about to say sothing, Han Jiaojiao’s eyebrows shot up, and she put on a fierce expression, “Brother, go to sleep right now!”
Han Yi laughed at her words, ruffling the top of Han Jiaojiao’s head as if calming a bristly cat.
Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian also chid in, “Han, Jiaojiao makes sense. We all rely on your ntal Search to avoid misfortune and find good fortune. You can recover better with good rest.”
Encouraged by the support, Han Jiaojiao beca bolder, stood up, and boldly pulled Han Yi off the sofa, coquettishly urging, “Go rest now, go on, please go.”
A warm light flashed in Han Yi’s eyes, “Alright then, brother will go upstairs to rest first.”
