Chapter 555: The terrifying white coats
On Earth, a major Special Security Team base stood thirty kilometers outside Huaguo's Kyoto defense identification zone.
When it had been built years earlier, the facility had already occupied a sparsely populated area surrounded by wild woodland and cultivated forest.
Although some people disliked change, humanity's ability to adapt was truly extraordinary, and the relationship between cities and nature had been redefined time and again.
By now, the perennial issue of "urban greening" had long become a thing of the past. The base had gone from a discreet location to a site deep within a genuine wilderness forest.

It was the former First Research Institute of the Special Security Team, now the Huaguo First Institute of Paranormal Biology.
The tallest part of the building aboveground was only a little over twenty meters high. In an age when the surrounding forest canopy routinely reached dozens or even hundreds of meters, the facility was effectively "buried" in the woods.

A small airfield on the roof accommodated certain small aircraft and helicopters of every model, while three massive underground connecting passages led to a large external airport, military facilities, and Kyoto City, the heart of Huaguo.
An endless stream of supplies and research materials arrived from across the country and around the world through the rooftop airfield and underground transport passages.
Huang Jiutian had once been a frequent visitor to this institute. Even though it was no longer subordinate to the Special Security Team, countless ties
