In an extremely small, secret room.
The high priest, suspended in mid-air, his body covered in wounds and torn flesh, roared hoarsely, "Let me out!"
"I really don't know anything!!"
"I was just following your orders to investigate how the meteorite came to be, and now you're pointing the finger at me. Aren't you shooting yourselves in the foot?"
"I'm just a researcher. This is kidnapping, abduction! Have you trampled the law under your feet?"
Her roar went unnoticed by anyone, while a hidden camera, unseen by her, was constantly watching her every move.
On the other end of the monitor, two men in military uniforms were watching the footage with serious expressions, having a conversation. One of the men put on his hat and asked, "Well, didn't she say anything?"
"The outside world is in complete chaos. Ever since that woman returned, strange-looking creatures have appeared all over the world. They devour everything. Fortunately, firearms can still harm them, but we've discovered that they seem to be gradually becoming immune to them."
"Perhaps it won't be long before even Jian-1 Missile can't kill a single one... Until then, we need to find out where those monsters came from and how to kill them."
"Of the ten researchers, only she came back... Do you understand what I mean?"
The other man fell silent. He looked at the woman and said with a hint of helplessness, "I don't think this Black Mist and these monsters were created by this woman, but by aliens. After all, humans wouldn't harm their own civilization. In the known universe, we've only ever reached the moon, but everything outside is so blurry. The meteorite that fell that day might have been the arrival of aliens."
"They want to wipe out human civilization."
Don't tell me I watch too many sci-fi movies, because these unrealistic things are actually happening now; sci-fi movies might just be reality.
"It's just something we humans have imagined."
The man in the hat scoffed, "You're probably just daydreaming. If aliens really exist, why haven't we observed a single intelligent alien?"
"Furthermore, according to our Martial Department's observations, those monsters are transformed from our native creatures. It's just like mutation, exactly like those zombies in those sci-fi movies you mentioned, only they're much more terrifying."
"I don't care if it's a sci-fi movie or some other garbage film, I just want you to get that woman to talk and find out what really happened that day!"
The officer in the hat then pushed open the door and left in a hurry, clearly indicating that the situation outside was becoming increasingly serious.
In the secret room.
The high priest was too weak to shout. His head was bowed, and his pupils were lifeless. A pool of blood and other liquids had already been left beneath him, which was disgusting.

As the door slowly opened, the man who had been talking to the officer in the hat walked in.
The pungent stench made him frown. He slowly walked up to the high priest, his expression cold and indifferent. He took out a pair of black gloves from his pocket, put them on, and patted the high priest's face.
"It's time to wake up."
"Or I'll execute you today!"
The high priest heard his voice, his cracked lips parted in a wide grin, and said, "Ha ha, execute me! Go ahead and execute me if you dare! I want to die right now!"
"I've already told you I know nothing, but you still won't let me go. Then kill me."
Even if I knew those secrets, I wouldn't tell you!
"Go find it yourselves!"
The man frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and when he took them out, they were covered in white crystals.
That's salt...
Before the high priest could react, the man's hand instantly touched the high priest's bloodstained body.
Ah!!
Extreme pain overwhelmed the high priestess's mind; her eyes were bloodshot, staring at the man before her like a demon.
The man smiled at her, "Tell us, and you won't have to endure any of this punishment, but everything you say will be verified, word by word."
"It's fake, you know what that means."
The high priest trembled and said, "I don't understand you, I know nothing, I just want to live. You officials are demons."
"I'm just an ordinary person who fought my way to the top, and now you've arrested me and brought me here. What do you want from me?"
Is it really just a secret?
The man sneered, "You really don't know?"
The high priest shook his head. At that moment, the entire dark chamber was illuminated by light, the iron shackles binding her hands were removed, and she fell heavily to the ground.
A man's voice came through. "I've let you go, but that doesn't mean they've let you go."
"However, I need your real information."
"Great Xia needs your information!"
Tell me, Ms. Gu!
The high priest was stunned, staring at the man with his outstretched hand, momentarily speechless.
She really didn't know what information there was.
Could it be that baby?
But weren't the babies taken away by these people?
How could they not know these things?
The man helped the limping high priestess to a stool nearby, looking at her with a serious expression, awaiting her answer.
The high priest hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "Have you seen the baby?"
"When I was arrested, I brought back a baby who was a few months old, and that baby was the cause of everything."
The man fell silent...
"We didn't see any baby. When you were arrested, you were like a madman, constantly saying that a monster was chasing you."
"But we didn't see the monster at the time."
"But we've already seen it."
That's why we believe what you're saying is false, and that you must know something.
"And do the babies you mentioned really exist?"
Did you really see it?
Where is he now?
The high priest was completely bewildered by the question; they hadn't seen the baby, and he himself had no idea where it was!
In her memory, the baby was taken away by these people, but when she tried to recall it, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if her memory had been altered.
The high priest abruptly looked up into the man's eyes and exclaimed in horror, "No, the baby is still here!"
"But that baby might be right next to me!!"
She looked into her arms, and a baby slowly appeared before her eyes. The man also saw this bizarre scene, his face filled with terror, and he drew the gun from his waist.
How did this baby even come into being?!
It appears in some other way, a superpower?
Isn't this something you only see in movies?
The man was shocked, but his gaze towards the high priest grew increasingly wary.
"Ms. Gu, please stabilize the baby first."
I'll contact Great Xia right away.
"I will definitely bring you back."
At that moment, the man understood that this woman was the most crucial person; she could not die.
