He Hao received the alert as well.
"What happened?"
"The energy readings from Meiba have changed. Is it about to wake up?"
"We already didn't dare use explosives or machine guns, but did we still end up stimulating it?"
"No, something's wrong. The latest report is out. Look—the fluctuations in the energy readings are mainly concentrated in Meiba's belly."
"These energy readings are absurdly high. They're already at the level of a Heavenly Ghost, aren't they?"
"Something's not right. The readings are still rising."
"Wait. Meiba couldn't have given birth to a Heavenly Ghost, could it?"
"If that's the case, then it would be an Innate Ghost. That would be even more terrifying than an ordinary Heavenly Ghost..."
The team channel remained filled with the team members' discussion.
At this moment, Captain Beidou spoke up. "Quiet!"
"Don't panic. Let's see what's happening first."
The team channel finally fell silent. Just then, the screen on the command console changed, displaying an outdoor scene.
Several helicopters circling above the shopping center were filming the scene. On the ground, Meiba's belly was heaving violently, as though it were about to give birth.
"Captain... are we really not going to attack first?"
"That's right, Captain. Meiba's about to give birth. If we don't attack now, it'll be too late."
Beidou said grimly, "Stay calm. Even Solar Gang Fire couldn't do anything to Meiba. Our attacks might only have the opposite effect."
"Besides, Meiba doesn't seem to have any intention of waking up. What if our attack wakes it? Who's going to deal with the consequences?"
The team channel instantly fell silent.
At this moment, a sticky mass rolled out of Meiba's birth canal.
The camera zoomed in. It was a mass of grayish-white mucus, with what seemed to be a humanoid creature faintly visible
