Falling Star

"I don't know. One fell near Anyang City. You can check it out."

Lu Chengchuan didn't know everything either. Who knew if the light spot was a monster or a meteorite, or both.

"We're heading over immediately. Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up." Faced with an unknown situation, Zhou Yaning's first reaction was to bring Lu Chengchuan along. Having an expert around would help them cope with any danger.

Lu Chengchuan sent her the address and then prepared to go out.

"Mom, I have something to take care of."

Huang Yuyun, who was originally resting in the bedroom, came out to see what had happened when she heard a loud noise. When she heard her son say he was going out, her face immediately became tense.

"You... you be careful, and don't push yourself too hard."

She didn't know what her son was going out to do, but the money in her bank card told her that her son wasn't doing anything safe. She didn't know of any job that could bring in millions in just a few days.

Huang Yuyun was worried about her son, but she didn't want to interfere too much. After all, her son had grown up and had become capable...

"I know." Lu Chengchuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Chengchuan arrived at the entrance of the residential area to wait. In less than half an hour, a military helicopter flew over his head.

The helicopter's rotor blades cut through the air, emitting a very oppressive roar. A strong wind swept down, stirring up the leaves and dust at Lu Chengchuan's feet.

"Mr. Lu!"

Qian Xiaoling's head popped out. She saw Lu Chengchuan below and shouted loudly to him.

"Go down, the person is below us!"

The pilot maneuvered the helicopter to descend slowly. Lu Chengchuan took a few steps back to make way. The helicopter landed, and Lu Chengchuan's clothes were blown around, and his hair was a mess.

A group of people stood in the distance watching the helicopter, and the security guards of the residential area were also watching from afar.

They were all dumbfounded. Dozens of gazes were fixed on Lu Chengchuan, and they were all guessing his identity in their hearts.

The helicopter stopped at a certain height, and Qian Xiaoling waved to him, "Mr. Lu! Come quickly!"

Lu Chengchuan squeezed through the wind and walked a few steps to the front of the helicopter. Qian Xiaoling reached out and pulled him up. As soon as he boarded the helicopter and his butt was stable, Qian Xiaoling turned back and told the pilot to take off.

The roar of the helicopter suddenly increased, and then the helicopter quickly rose, rising to a height of several hundred meters.

This was Lu Chengchuan's first time riding in a helicopter. It was very noisy up there, and you had to speak loudly to be heard. Also, the door wasn't closed, and the wind was a bit strong.

Besides him, there were several soldiers on the plane. They sat in their chairs and ignored Lu Chengchuan.

"The Captain and the others have set off! We're going to rush over now. The meteor landed west of Anyang City. The advance team hasn't found the exact location yet, so we'll go take a look first!"

The advance team set off immediately the moment the meteor landed. They locked down a rough area and were searching for the fallen object within that area.

Under the night sky, the helicopter flew quickly towards the area where the meteor had fallen. Tonight, many people were destined to not be able to sleep.

"Attention all units, this is Headquarters A1. The advance team has found the target location. Repeat, the target location has been found. Coordinates are now being sent. Acknowledge, acknowledge."

Half an hour later, the helicopter arrived in the area where the meteor had fallen. Before they could start searching, headquarters sent a communication that the advance team had found the location, and now headquarters was sending the coordinates.

The pilot replied and maneuvered the helicopter towards the coordinates.

When they flew over the coordinates, Lu Chengchuan also saw several military helicopters of the same model.

"There is no landing position below. All personnel prepare to rappel."

The helicopter turned on its searchlights, but found that the terrain below was not good, and there was fog. They wanted to descend but there was no suitable location, so they could only let the personnel rappel down using rope ladders.

Several helicopters dispersed, each looking for a landing spot, as long as it wasn't too far from the coordinates.

The pilot flew forward for a while and stopped. The helicopter slowly descended. When it was about ten meters above the ground, the soldiers threw down the rope ladder for rappelling, preparing to descend from this distance.

"Mr. Lu! Do you know how to use this?" Qian Xiaoling asked him.

As a formal member of the Investigation Bureau, Qian Xiaoling had received a lot of professional training. Don't let her thin and weak appearance fool you, rope rappelling was not difficult for her at all.

She didn't know if Lu Chengchuan had practiced it and could handle it, but she was obviously overthinking it.

"I don't need it!"

Lu Chengchuan looked at the ground. Before Qian Xiaoling could say anything, he jumped straight down. Before Qian Xiaoling could shout, Lu Chengchuan had already landed safely. Lu Chengchuan raised his hand and waved, indicating that he was fine.

Ten meters was nothing. This height was child's play for him.

Seeing that he was fine, Qian Xiaoling realized that what she was worried about was nothing to the other party.

After Lu Chengchuan jumped down, the soldiers on the helicopter came down one after another. Soon Qian Xiaoling also came down. The soldiers took out flashlights to illuminate the surroundings, and Qian Xiaoling took out her phone.

"Captain, we've arrived... Okay, I understand..."

Qian Xiaoling put down her phone and turned around to say, "Let's go! Move towards the coordinates!"

Lu Chengchuan followed them forward. After walking for ten minutes, they arrived at the location where the 'meteor' had fallen. They were not the first team to arrive. Before them, Zhou Yaning and others had arrived first.

Zhou Yaning and several people were gathered around a stone. The stone was more than three meters high and shaped like an egg.

"Captain, we're here."

Qian Xiaoling brought Lu Chengchuan over. She found the captain and said softly.

"Come and take a look. What is this thing?" Zhou Yaning pointed at the stone, asking them all to come and see.

Lu Chengchuan stepped forward. Under the light of the surrounding lights, a black stone egg was reflected in his eyes. The surface of the stone egg was very rough, covered with irregular small protrusions.

This is the fallen star; it just looks like a simple mineral.

"Captain Zhou, the experts and equipment are on their way. We'll guard this and prevent any accidents."

An officer came over to discuss the situation with Zhou Yaning. The main force hadn't arrived yet, and they only had a few dozen people, most of whom were just soldiers, not professionals.

"Please arrange defenses, and also, be vigilant against monsters at all times."

Zhou Yaning felt a vague sense of unease. She was afraid something unexpected would happen, but seeing Lu Chengchuan here calmed her down a little.

"Where is this place?"

Lu Chengchuan looked around; it was pitch black, with no roads, only towering trees and dense weeds.

"This is Fengjiang Wild Forest Park. The government hasn't developed it much, so it's a bit difficult for cars to get in. We may have to wait a while."

The soldiers set up defenses around the perimeter. This kind of place was usually deserted, and now they hoped only people were here.

Several hours passed, and it became late at night. Lu Chengchuan heard a rumbling sound coming from a distance. Soon, car headlights appeared before everyone.

The cars stopped not far away, and a group of people got out, carrying various instruments.
