Xue Ren, the commander of the Kaifeng garrison military sub-district, walked around in the office with his hands behind his back, and the floor was covered with cigarette butts.

Since he was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, he has been sitting in the office for three days and three nights without sleep, and he doesn't know how many cigarettes he has smoked.

The monsters that emerged from the black hole filled the streets and alleys of Kaifeng, threatening the safety of Kaifeng citizens at all times. If he can't handle this matter, it's a small matter for him to be punished or dismissed. The most important thing is that he is afraid that this will become a disaster that shakes the foundation of the country!

The country has only been peaceful for how many years! There must be no more chaos!

So after he understood what happened, he immediately made a quick decision to call Beijing on a dedicated line and reported everything that happened in Kaifeng to the general on the other end of the phone. Then he learned from the general a piece of information that shocked him: in addition to Kaifeng, Henan, there are a large number of unidentified creatures in more than a dozen provincial administrative regions across the country, including Shanxi, Guangdong, Northeast China, Yunnan, Shandong, and a total of thirty or forty cities, which pose a great threat to the lives, health and property safety of the people.

Hearing this news, Xue Ren smoked even more fiercely. This usually calm and steady man had red eyes, like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation.

The door was suddenly knocked, and the guard shouted: "Report!"

"Come in!" Xue Ren turned around, his bloodshot eyes looking at him hopefully: "What's going on outside?!"

"Reply to the commander!" The guard saluted and answered loudly: "There are a total of four black holes in the city, all of which have been blocked. Our army has initially controlled the situation and is gradually eliminating the monsters. No one has died yet."

"Good!" Xue Ren was in high spirits, rubbed his hands happily, and asked again: "Have you found out the reason for the formation of the black hole? And those monsters, where did they come from?"

The guard shook his head: "The reason for the formation of the black hole is still being studied by relevant experts from the Academy of Sciences. According to linguists, the language used by those monsters is a bit like a variant of Old English. At present, linguists in our city are still trying to crack it."

Hearing the word Old English, Xue Ren's expression froze a little, and he almost immediately thought of those troublemakers in the West.

The timing of the appearance of those black holes is too subtle.

Imperialism is still trying to destroy us...

He narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Okay, I know, you can go down."

After the guard left, he immediately called Beijing to ask about the situation abroad.

Then he learned a piece of news that made him particularly excited.

China is not the only country attacked by monsters!

According to the news sent back by spies, monsters have appeared in the territories of Western powers such as the United States, France, and Britain!

Xue Ren was really relieved. He felt much more comfortable as long as he knew that China was not the only country attacked by monsters. If we die, we will die together. It doesn't make sense that only China is unlucky and people from other countries laugh at us.

He sat on the chair, and the fatigue of many days of sleepless nights surged up in an instant. He almost fell asleep-until he heard someone talking.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you..."

Xue Ren opened his eyes like lightning and saw a young man holding a black cat and looking at him with a smile.

His hand immediately reached for the pistol at his waist, then he skillfully pulled down the safety and pointed it at the young man's forehead.

"How did you get in?" Xue Ren stood up and looked at him alertly, "Guard! Guard!"

It was quiet outside the house, as quiet as if no one was there.

"Please believe me, I have no intention of offending you." Even though someone pointed a pistol at his head, the young man's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "We just have something to talk to you about, about the monster in the black hole..."

Xue Ren's expression froze, the unresponsive guards had already given him a bad premonition, but the gun in his hand gave him a little sense of security, and he said coldly: "Put down the cat in your hand and raise your hands."

Hearing his request, the black cat in the young man's arms glanced at him, and then uttered a low and elegant male voice in Xue Ren's horrified eyes: "Lighten up!" Song, sir, we are here to surrender, we are on the party's side. "

Looking at the soldier opposite who was so shocked that he could hardly hold his gun, Le Jing was silent for a moment and added: "In fact, only Victor came to surrender, I have been a member of the party for a long time."

"I am still a member of the Communist Youth League now."

Victor shook his tail and nodded calmly: "That's it."

Xue Ren joined the army to fight against the Japanese at the age of fifteen, joined the party at the age of twenty, and fought all the way from a poor young man to the commander-in-chief of the military sub-district, relying on his own intuition and ability.

He has seen so many storms in his half-life, so although he was surprised, he calmed down quickly. He asked calmly: "What did you do with the guards at my door?"

"Don't worry, they are all fine." The black cat's golden cat pupils flashed a strange color, "I just set up a barrier in the house so that people outside can't hear the movement in the house. "

This undoubtedly further proves Victor's strength. After a brief thought, Xue Ren put down his pistol and asked the two to sit down, "I'd like to hear more details."

Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province.

You Yu, carrying a peach wood sword, walked slowly side by side with a skeleton on the sidewalk. A skeleton soldier with missing arms and legs came towards him. You Yu calmly stretched out his foot to trip it, and the skeleton soldier staggered and fell to the ground as expected.

Then You Yu drew out the peach wood sword behind him and smashed the skull's head into pieces.

The skeleton soldier who had been walking beside You Yu stopped and turned his head to look over, but his eyes skipped over You Yu and fell on the skull "corpse" on the ground, then tilted his head in a humane way and made a sound that sounded like a laugh.

Skeleton A: This is the first time I've seen a skull with a broken head after falling down, hahahaha, so stupid.

You Yu has become accustomed to such neglect. As a native of Jiangxi, his presence is very low, and he has been practicing Taoism in the Zhengyi Temple of Longhu Mountain since he was a child, and has mastered the art of holding his breath, so his presence is almost non-existent.

... He would never tell his senior brother that he was the culprit of the supernatural events in the temple.

He calmly stretched out the peach wood sword and easily chopped off the head of the laughing skull. In fact, if it weren't for the skull's ugly laughter, he could at least let him live a little longer.

He put the peach wood sword on his back again and continued to wander the streets boredly. There were many idle people like him on the street. He saw many people pointing and talking around the skeletons like they were watching rare animals. It can be said that their attitude was very arrogant.

Occasionally, he would see skeletons chasing the noisy Jiangxi people angrily, but he didn't bother to care - it wouldn't be long anyway, and the skeletons themselves would forget why they suddenly ran. Those Jiangxi people who were chased were actually chased on purpose - for the pursuit of excitement. It can be said that they were very childish and courting death.

He didn't know what kind of impact the skeletons had on people in other provinces. Anyway, in their Jiangxi, people did what they had to do after a brief panic, and these skeletons couldn't find them anyway. Moreover, under the suppression of the army, there were fewer and fewer skeletons on the streets, so now people would make a fuss and watch when they saw a skeleton.

You Yu felt that he was different from these childish and noisy Jiangxi people. He was never satisfied with just chopping a few skeletons on the street - it was too unchallenging and boring. So he was determined to make a career that would impress his master and senior brothers, and let them know who was the worthy successor of Longhushan Zhengyiguan!

With this belief, the 13-year-old You Yu came to a small black hole with great vigor and vigor. He found it last night. This black hole should have been formed not long ago. Because the hole was too small - only one person wide, only a few smaller skeletons occasionally came out of the black hole.

Since skeletons can pass through the black hole to get here, why can't humans pass through the black hole to the skeleton's base camp?

This wonderful idea deeply attracted You Yu, and he felt that he was a genius!

Do it as soon as you say it. So he emptied all the talismans he could collect overnight, carried a peach wood sword, and ran here early in the morning. He planned to crawl into the black hole before the army discovered the black hole and blocked it.

Just in case, he also activated the Vajra Talisman given to him by his master, and then excitedly squeezed into the black hole.

You Yu is not the only genius with such "wonderful ideas".

Mianyang, Sichuan.

Ning Liu stuck her head into the black hole and looked around, but could see nothing except a bottomless darkness.

She raised her head and looked seriously at her companion beast, who was sitting obediently beside her legs and chewing bamboo: "Wangcai, you say, should we go in and take a look?"

Wangcai chewed the bamboo, thought for a while, and then shook his head.

"Maybe... there will be delicious bamboo inside!"

Wangcai's movements paused, and a human tangle appeared on his honest face. After a few seconds, he nodded firmly and vigorously.

"Okay!" Ning Liu immediately hugged the chubby panda with a smile, then raised her head and rubbed Wangcai's soft belly, and said firmly: "You are fat, you go first!"

Wangcai:... I am a national treasure! Don't you have any idea who is more valuable between us!

As a companion, Ning Liu naturally noticed Wangcai's psychological activities. She touched the back of her head awkwardly, "I was just joking..."

She turned around and looked at the dark hole with some fear. She couldn't help but turned her head and said, "How about you... Ah ah ah ah!"

Wangcai calmly retracted his bear paw and jumped into the black hole.

Foshan City, Guangdong Province.

Zhen Haochi squatted in his yard, gnawing on the roasted snake while looking up at the black hole on his family's pressure well.

The scorching eyes could almost burn through the black hole.

But to his disappointment, he had finished gnawing on the roasted snake, and there was no other delicious food in the black hole.

These three days were like a dream for Zhen Haochi.

A black hole suddenly appeared in his yard, and then a lot of delicious food ran out of the black hole!

There were big spiders, big mantises, big flower snakes, big bats...

Each one was delicious!

The taste of crispy chicken!

The kids next door were crying with envy!

Zhen Haochi would not give him any food even though he was crying with envy. No one could take a bite of food away from him, no one!

He ate for three days and never felt so happy.

Early this morning, he came to wait in front of the black hole again. But what disappointed and angered him was that no more delicious food popped out of the black hole!

This is a fraud! A blatant fraud!

Zhen Haochi was furious.

If the mountain doesn't come to find him, he will go find the mountain.

He has never heard of a Cantonese person starving to death!

So he jumped into the black hole angrily.

After learning the whole truth from Victor, Xue Ren pondered for a long time and raised a question with a unique angle: "Since they invaded us through the black hole, can we counter-invade them through the black hole?"

Victor was stunned, "Theoretically, it is possible..."

"Then fuck him!"

Victor hurriedly dissuaded him: "But the abyss is all ruins, there is nothing! Not to mention whether you can defeat the demon army, what's the use of occupying the abyss?"

Xue Ren waved his hand: "This is not a big deal! Passive beating is not our style! We are fighting to stop the war!"

"And..." Xue Ren rubbed his hands, revealing a treacherous smile at the corner of his mouth 's smile, "It's nothing to you, but it's nothing to us."

"Land, minerals, natural resources, which one is not wealth?" Xue Ren said excitedly: "Even if there is none of these, it doesn't matter. Now the country is in a critical period of vigorous development and construction, and it is a time when there is a shortage of labor. I think those monsters are very good labor!"

"Aren't the Americans working on the Apollo moon landing plan? The moon landing is not possible with the current level of scientific and technological development in the country, so let's start with a colonization abyss operation!" Xue Ren paced back and forth excitedly: "This matter must be done quickly, it will be bad if it is too late and those foreigners react and take the initiative."

Victor:...? ? ?

"You wait here! I'll call Beijing immediately!" Xue Ren just picked up the phone, but before dialing, he realized something again. The excitement on his face retreated a little, and he looked at Le Jing and Victor solemnly: "I must report your affairs to Beijing. You are likely to be protected. This is for your safety and for the interests of the country and the people. I hope you can understand."

Le Jing had expected it. He had discussed this matter with Victor Keynes before coming. Victor didn't care. After all, if he wanted to leave, humans couldn't trap him. Keynes fully supported all of Le Jing's decisions. Speaking of Keynes, Le Jing remembered his expression when he insisted on exploring the abyss.

A little daunting, a little... fearful.

It was the first time Le Jing saw such an expression on Keynes' face. But even so, Keynes insisted on exploring the abyss alone.

He guessed... it had something to do with Keynes's taboo past. He was not a person who sought to get to the bottom of things, so he considerately pretended not to notice Keynes's abnormality and watched him leave with a smile. But in this heart, there was a faint worry after all.

I hope everything is fine for him.

All the thoughts flowing through his mind passed in an instant, he looked up at Xue Ren's symbolic inquiry, and said with a smile: "Okay, we will cooperate with the country's actions in everything."

He was very interested in the various power systems in this world, and he believed that the country must have collected complete and detailed information. He hoped to obtain some of them and put them in his bookstore.

If every Chinese person on earth could learn one or two of the unique skills here, then his world would definitely be more interesting.
