Eek!
A piercing alarm blared to life.
"Alarm! The Star Gate is opening!"
"No scheduled transmission signal detected! This is an unscheduled transmission!"
"Quick! Defensive positions! Medical team on standby!"
Lei Zhan drew his pistol in an instant, his gaze sharp.
The guards around him racked their guns with a clatter, their dark muzzles locking onto the teleportation platform.
Everyone assumed that Su Yun might have encountered some unavoidable danger, or was sending back extremely important intelligence, when...
Silver light flashed, and space warped.
The Star Gate opened.
Under the gaze of dozens of people, a furry object flew out of the Star Gate.
It traced an arc through the air, accompanied by a faint squeak.
Then—
"Splut!"
The object landed heavily on the tactical command table in front of Lei Zhan.
Dead silence.
Lei Zhan stood frozen, pistol in hand.
Behind him, the Taoist Priest, the High Monk, and the scientists all craned their necks, their expressions shifting from tense to stunned.
On the command table lay—
Rat, fur standing on end and eyes rolled back, clearly unconscious. He was sprawled on his back, his tiny pink paws twitching nervously.
"This..."
An elderly biologist nervously pushed up his glasses and leaned in for a closer look, his voice full of uncertainty.
"Is this... an otherworldly creature sent back by Comrade Su Yun?"
Lei Zhan slowly lowered his gun, the corner of his mouth twitching wildly.
He cautiously reached out a finger and poked Rat in the belly.
"Squeak~"
Rat reflexively kicked one leg.
"He's actually still alive." Lei Zhan's voice was a little hoarse.
As soon as those words were spoken, the command center erupted into thunderous cheers after a brief silence!
"Alive! He's alive!"
"My God! The animal barrier has been broken!"
