"Quick! Search this way!"

Late at night, it was raining heavily throughout Atlanta. The heavy rain was mixed with the figures and sounds of the guards running back and forth, making them very restless.

"ah!!!"

Alan was awakened by his sister Emma's scream in his sleep. He rushed to Emma's room without knowing why, and saw his mother hugging Emma, while Emma sat on the bed in shock, with tears streaming down her face.

"She had a nightmare...she dreamed about a nuclear explosion..."

Mom Kelly caressed Emma while looking at Alan with a frown. Alan also felt distressed and sat down to comfort Emma, because he knew that Emma must miss her father very much and could not forget the day of separation...

"It's okay...it's all over. You were just dreaming."

Emma denied while wiping her tears:

"No...I dreamed that Atlanta was bombed...My mother and I escaped...but you were trapped in the sea of fire and caught by a huge black monster..."

After hearing this, Alan just smiled slightly and comforted Emma:

""How could that be possible! You're overthinking it! We're safe here!""

Alan finally managed to coax Emma to sleep, but he also noticed that from the window next to him, there were dozens of security guards busy searching for something on the street in the pouring rain... and They also conducted door-to-door checks.

"clatter"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of knocking over pots and pans from the kitchen, which really startled Alan and his mother.

Mom grabbed Alan and said nervously: "Could it be a thief!?..."

Alan felt that the probability of it being a thief was very high, so he calmly took out Kirby and ordered it:

"Go! Shoot the thief with your laser gun"

Kirby rushed to the kitchen. Alan expected that there would be whining next. He would rush over and give the thief a few punches to get rid of it, but...he waited for a long time. This did not happen. The kitchen actually There was no movement.

Alan couldn't bear it any longer and tiptoed to the kitchen to see what was going on...but...

In front of him, there was actually a man sitting in the kitchen with scars all over his body. He seemed to have climbed in through the window next to him...and little Kirby did not attack the man because it made its own judgment. Not threatening.

"Who...are you!?...What's wrong with you?"

Ai Lun knelt down and cared about the man. He felt that the man in front of him was not a thief, because no thief would break into someone's home with scars and then sit there waiting for someone to catch him.

The man looked in pain because there was blood on his left arm, but he just said a word first...

"Please... don't let them find me!!...."

After hearing this, Alan instantly understood. These guardsmen were rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for him! But... Why were they looking for this man?

Before Alan could think of the answer...

"knock knock knock"

A rapid knock on the door interrupted Alan's thoughts.

"they are coming! Don't hand me over!..."

The man grabbed Alan's hand and passed out.

What should we do?... Alan must make a choice immediately. Should he help cover up... Should he get involved in this muddy water...?

"Okay!....fine!fine!"

After a brief mental struggle, Alan took a deep breath and gave instructions to Kirby:

"Kirby, invisible curtain mode!"

The mechanical ladybug immediately understood the command and jumped on the man, and radiated some kind of projection from its eyes to make the man look as if he didn't exist. This was one of Alan's very proud inventions.

"Kaka"

After the sound of locks at the front door, a few cracks were opened and Alan poked his head out. Alan saw that there were indeed several guards filling the stairwell outside the door, and each of them was armed with ammunition.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Alan pretended not to know anything.

"A criminal escaped from the prison. Did you see anyone suspicious?" t

he guard with a gun asked expressionlessly.

"I didn't see anyone."

Alan still acted as if he didn't know.

"Then can we go into the house and have a look?" The guard with the gun said and raised his gun, which made Alan confused...

"Does the Guard treat civilians so harshly?..."

"Okay!"

Alan pretended to open the door generously and let the guards come in to search. Although he knew it was risky, he had to convince the guards that there really was no one hiding.

The guards entered the room and looked around. When they saw the kitchen, the scene in front of them was empty of people, because Kirby's invisible curtain blended the man with the background. No one could tell why.

"Why are the pots and pans scattered on the floor here? What just happened?" The guard pointed at the pots and pans scattered on the floor and questioned. This was not good, and what was worse was that he was walking towards the hidden man. 20cm distance!.

Seeing that he was about to be shot, Alan cleverly stood in front of the guards and pretended to collect the things scattered on the floor, preventing the guards from moving forward...

"I just wanted to cook something, but I heard a knock on the door, so I was nervous and knocked it over!...Is there anything strange...!"

The guard and Alan looked at each other for a long time. It was unclear whether he believed Alan's words, but it was certain that Alan could not reveal any flaws.

Finally, the guard member suddenly gave instructions to other members:

"Nothing found, retreat!"

The guards filed out of Alan's house. When the door was closed, Alan finally leaned against the door and let out a sigh of relief:

"Oh my god...I really admire my acting skills...! I can become an actor..."

In the heavy rain, on the other side, in a certain technology building, the man slowly walked into the floor where Dr. Jack was originally imprisoned.

The scene was a mess, broken glass was scattered everywhere, things were swaying here and there, as if some kind of shock wave was exploding here, causing overwhelming damage. And Dr. Jack disappeared without a trace.

The man picked up the broken glass and looked at the scene calmly, seemingly not surprised. He was none other than Captain Ethan.

""Dr. Jack, well done. You've won this round, but it's okay. The real fun is yet to come. I want to see where you've hidden that thing... I'll take my time playing with you!"

Ethan said this with a sneer, but his men immediately reminded him:

"Captain, if you send so many people to search for you, the commander will find out sooner or later if you continue like this. How are you going to explain to him?"

Ethan threw away the glass and said disapprovingly:

""Confession?... Hank blames himself for his wife Rose getting bitten by the zombies, he's been drowning himself in alcohol and neglecting his duties... He's just not the man he used to be. Anyway, his position will eventually be mine, no matter what he tries to do about it... Hmph!"

At this point, Ethan laughed wantonly with his unique evil laughter that echoed in the rain, unveiling the prelude that he would take control of the city of Atlanta...
