Chapter 32 – A Wealthy Family Tu Ran looked back. It was Ding Naiqing, the college student. "Shall we team up?" Ding Naiqing smiled with crescent-shaped eyes. No way. Tu Ran shook her head. She wanted to team up with an expert. Ding Naiqing looked like an innocent and harmless pup, with little combat ability. A puppy that hadn’t grown all its teeth yet, teaming up with a clueless novice like herself, would be like sending puppies to fight aliens, a mission doomed to fail. Ding Naiqing…-

Chapter 33 – Death The groom continued his narration: "After that, Mr. Egan stayed at the farm until after his wife's birthday. He went to the wheat field to check on the growth of the newly planted spring wheat, and then he went to the stable to feed his beloved horse." "Feed the horse?" Tu Ran questioned, "According to your previous testimony, you discovered Mr. Egan lying on the haystack while you were feeding the horses." "That's right," the groom admitted, looking at Tu Ran seriously, not…

Chapter 35 – Snake Ding Naiqing's body suddenly froze, and he slowly lifted his head, his eyes filled with uncontrollable delight. "So, this might be an alie—" Before he could finish his sentence, Tu Ran raised a thumb to her lips, gesturing for silence. Their heads moved closer together in a silent agreement. "So, this might indeed be an alien!" Ding Naiqing's voice was filled with irrepressible joy. "The alien is a type of snake. It emerged from Mr. Egan's body, took just a few steps,…

Chapter 36 - Investigation He was called Li Wu, the oldest among the guards. Hearing his words, the guards who had just mocked Tu Ran and Ding Naiqing laughed. "Uncle Li, it's time for you to retire. Your old eyes can't see clearly anymore. To you, nobody is ordinary." Li Wu's gaze swept over the young faces of the guards in front of him. He sighed and said nothing more. Fifteen years ago, these young men were just five to ten-year-old children, not paying much attention to the news. He,…

Chapter 37 – Qinglang Mastiffs Her tone was calm, lacking the nervousness and stammering that others displayed when questioned by Tu Ran. Tu Ran nodded and asked, "Mr. Egan has two Tibetan mastiffs, correct?" This was information she had gathered from questioning others earlier. "Yes," Naya Rivera answered without hesitation. "What breed?" Tu Ran continued. "Qinglang Mastiffs." "Qinglang Mastiffs, huh," Tu Ran said, appearing to ponder while her gaze fixed on a strand of fur at the edge of…

Chapter 34 – The Mark "No one has come or gone," Tubin shook his head. "The farm is too far from the county town. The workers only go out on Sunday afternoons to buy essential supplies. They usually stay on the farm. Also, because the stable is being renovated, no guests have come to ride horses." Tu Ran and Ding Naiqing exchanged a glance. So now it was certain: the alien was still on the farm. Tu Ran approached Tubin. "Can you gather everyone on the farm here? We need to conduct a…

Chapter 42 – Silencing Witnesses Tu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze turned icy as she looked at Ding Naiqing. "You knew me before?" "Yeah." Ding Naiqing smiled, showing his small tiger teeth, still oblivious to the gravity of the situation. Tu Ran instinctively pressed her tongue against her teeth. Ding Naiqing had known her before. Ding Naiqing had known her before! These were the only two sentences in her mind. She had always acted like a stranger towards Ding Naiqing. Had he…

Chapter 41 – We’ve Met Before Tu Ran gave instructions to Ding Naiqing and then looked at the guards in front of her. "Send two people to find the ones who were interrogated with Naya Rivera." Two guards stepped forward. One of them was Liang Feng, who had previously mocked her and Ding Naiqing, and the other was Li Wu. "We'll go." Tu Ran nodded. "Be careful. When you bring them here, try to keep your distance from them." "Yes." After the two left, Tu Ran found an empty spot nearby and…

Chapter 40 – Suspicions Next to the image, there was a series of data analyses by artificial intelligence, including the time of death and the primary cause of death. Tu Ran focused on the time of death for two extra seconds. The death of the Tibetan mastiff indirectly confirmed Tu Ran’s earlier suspicions. “Sister Ran, our task is basically completed now, right? Can we report back to Captain Li Wenchuan?” Ding Naiqing asked Tu Ran excitedly. Their team finding the alien species so…

Chapter 39 – Doubts Her head had already twisted, hanging limply to the side at a strange angle. A python was halfway out of her gaping mouth, now lifeless. Its length was so great that its head dragged on the ground. Dark green blood spread beneath their feet, the stench corroding the ground. The scene was as gruesome as it could be. "Sister Ran, how did you know she was possessed by an alien species?" Ding Naiqing had somehow already walked over to Tu Ran's side, his eyes filled with…

Chapter 38 – Reveal Naya Rivera's head rotated 180 degrees, and her eyes, now completely black, stared intensely at Tu Ran. A shiny, black snake emerged from her mouth, its thick body causing her lips to tear open into a wide gash, almost splitting her face in half as bright red blood flowed down. Tu Ran had imagined a hundred ways the alien species might reveal itself, but she hadn't anticipated such a grotesque and terrifying sight. Her heart skipped a beat in fear. At that moment, the…

Chapter 28 – Alien Infection "Alien Infection." Tu Ran carefully pondered these words. Infection, aliens... Her fingers absentmindedly traced the black letters, smudging the ink and leaving a long trail. The writing was fresh. Tu Ran grew more puzzled, recalling the moment when Xi Chunzhi handed her the notebook. On the rooftop helipad of the administrative building, under the watchful eyes of numerous surveillance cameras, they had shared a seemingly ordinary parting hug. During this, Xi…

Chapter 27 – Random Selection The rest would be handled by the military. Currently, she had almost no self-defense abilities, and going to the Threshold would be a death sentence. It was better for her to take this chance to go to Reigaken State, learn some self-defense skills, and accumulate some experience. After making her choice, Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi. As expected, she had also pressed the "yes" button. The issues Tu Ran considered were naturally also on Xi Chunzhi's mind. Tu Ran…

Chapter 26 – The Origin of the Pioneers Over time, rumors of no return spread across all major states. People weren't foolish; they wouldn't waste their lives for some elusive wealth. Fewer and fewer people actively applied to go, and in the end, there were almost none. The federal government had to change its strategy. They decided to train their own personnel. They trained a group of people whose duty was to explore the Threshold. Born for the Threshold, they wouldn't resist its…

Chapter 25 – The Great Species Extinction Plan If people knew these precious gems were abundant in the Threshold, not only would they not fetch high prices, but securing the Threshold would also become a challenge. The leaders and tycoons of the Federal Government always thought things through thoroughly. After clearing the area, they began sending elite troops into the Threshold to explore. The main task was to search for various ores, especially rare ones. Ideally, they wanted to bring…

Chapter 24 – Capital Accumulation The stones thrown at the wall were swallowed into it. However, the first group of explorers still hadn't returned. No one knew what had happened to them inside, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead. But their disappearance did not dampen the enthusiasm of other adventure fanatics, and more people teamed up to venture into that world. This time, before they left, the federal government equipped each of them with sophisticated weapons, ample food,…
