The other side.

Edgar Hobson got a document jointly signed by the military and political circles and ordered him to form a new department.

Code-named "District 9", this department is directly under the National Security Council of the United States.

Moreover, the document allows Edgar Hobson to choose the best officers from the academia, intelligence agencies and military special commandos.

In order to form an excellent team in the shortest time.

The conditions given above are incredibly generous, and all kinds of complicated procedures are now given a green light.

But Edgar already knew the whole story, so he understood why these people were so generous.

This incident really confused the top management of the United States.

First, the black monster, let the over-equipped 300 troops, wreck half in seven or eight minutes.

Then, there are inexplicable dark clouds, heavy rain and lightning.

When the follow-up troops re-entered the town, except for the ruins, only some people were left in a coma.

The monster disappeared without a trace.

This bizarre and uncontrolled situation has made the top management feel a strong threat for the simple reason.

The destructive monster has disappeared, and there is no trace of it. No one knows when and where it will suddenly appear.

Moreover, since there can be one such monster floating in space, why can't there be more?

　　……

Helicopters flew over tall buildings.

Edgar Hobson sat in the plane and looked out of the window, slowly changing from an urban building to a mountain plain.

This is a wilderness in Georgia.

Coma survivors in the small town of Lula, Syria, have been airlifted by the military to a temporary fully enclosed hospital with negative pressure isolation cabin.

Although most of them are Syrian citizens, the United States obviously doesn't care about this.

In the helicopter, besides Edgar, there are seven or eight gentle and scholarly people, all of whom are Edgar Hobson's old team in the National Security Agency.

As soon as he got the command file, Edgar transferred them.

Just now, they received news from the temporary hospital that the survivors finally woke up after being in a coma for 36 hours.

The establishment of the department was given to the deputy for preliminary screening, and Edgar and his party rushed over to inquire about the investigation.

Flying for more than ten minutes.

A barren hill came into view. At the foot of the mountain, there was a field camouflage wing, surrounded by armed soldiers and armored vehicles.

The helicopter landed and stopped, and a group of people verified their identity and entered it.

"The vital signs are stable, there are no unknown substances, no unknown microbial infection, and the consciousness is basically clear."

The doctor-like man walked and reported to him.

Looking at the people in the hospital bed through the one-way glass, Edgar picked up the tablet and looked through the survivors' information.

When Chelsea, a Briton, appeared on it, he looked as usual.

After reading the information, I found nothing special. Edgar looked at his subordinates and said, "Get ready and start asking questions."

A line of people hurriedly take action.

In the room used for questioning, they placed special cameras at all angles.

In another room separated by a layer of one-way glass, there are all kinds of complicated instruments, and a bunch of people are busy operating. Edgar is here, dominating everything.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Soon, the first survivor was brought in, sat in a chair, and was fitted with measuring probes everywhere.

"What's your name ..." Ask the staff to start with the most certain things and get comparative information for the rear technicians.

Behind the one-way glass, a group of psychologists are staring at the screen tightly, and the three-dimensional face changes synthesized by cameras from all angles are photographed.

On the other screen, the heart rate curve and the change of body surface voltage are displayed in real time, and the corresponding intelligent analysis program runs rapidly to calculate and judge whether it is lying.

"At that time, you saw ..."

Questions were thrown out one by one.

Finally, the technicians came to the conclusion: "No problem."

In another room, the interrogator heard the words in the headset and looked at the terrified survivor: "OK, you can go out, next."

One person after another came here and went out, and Chelsea managed to get out of it with ordinary and unobtrusive performance.

Attacked by monsters, the American army lost to retreat. At that time, the chaotic picture of the town became more and more complete in District 9's mind.

Suddenly, Edgar sat up straight.

The voice in the inquiry room came clearly: "You said you saw a figure in the clouds before you passed out? Are you sure? "

"Sir, I ... I ... I'm not sure. I just seem to see it vaguely. Maybe it's my illusion."

"No. Describe the situation carefully at that time, there is no less ... "

This is a special case!

The only person who sees more things than others, Edgar, is just an ordinary Syrian.

However, he was born with excellent physical fitness. He once practiced free fighting and wanted to get rid of that chaotic country through competition.

If you are in better health ... it makes sense.

All inquiries are over.

People from District 9 get together to discuss.

"The only certainty now is that the man is not lying, but we don't know whether the figure in the clouds is a fact or his illusion."

"Let me talk about my thoughts. I prefer the former. After all, the situation at that time was really weird."

"Can't be sure, just discuss it in two situations, and deduce it from two angles ..."

In this discussion, Edgar was silent and thoughtful.

Extraterrestrial life, survivors who are unconscious for no reason, monsters struck by lightning, mysterious people who may exist ...

Things are getting more and more complicated.

If the mysterious man really exists, is it a weather weapon, or ... haunters as in the movie?

The former, with extraterrestrial life ahead, can be inferred as advanced civilized goods being obtained by ordinary people;

The latter is purely speculation.

Edgar knows that no matter what kind of report it is, it will arouse the fear of those in power.

After all, the monster is a threat, and the mysterious man ... is also a threat!

Barnard also expected this.

There is a saying:

Don't underestimate the IQ of those in power, and don't overestimate the mind of those in power.

Only when alien monsters appear around them, and only when the army is hard to resist, will they abandon their suspicions and realize the importance of the transcendent.
