Izumaru's travel notes

1989, the United States, in the heart of a desert

The temperature today is as high as 50 degrees Celsius. There is not a single living thing on the sand. Even the most tenacious weeds have turned into hay here. This is a forbidden zone for life.

But even in such a restricted area, there was a lot of excitement. Military Humvees painted in desert camouflage rushed here, and the soldiers inside looked solemn. Before the operation, they were told that this was a top-secret operation. If they died, even their names would not be left, but their families would receive a generous consolation payment.

Having said this, all the soldiers involved in this operation couldn't help but be on their toes, but when they put on their gas masks and saw the mission targets, they still took a breath.

"Oh my god, what is this?"

"Meteorite?"

Looking at the huge pit in the desert, all the soldiers stared with wide eyes. How could there be such a big pit in the desert? And some veterans saw traces of vitrification on the edge of the pit.

"Your most important task is to protect the safety of those strange things. These are our treasures. Before these things are recovered, you can't let even a mouse in."

Looking at what was being collected in the huge pit, the general began to explain their mission to the soldiers, who had gone through layers of screening and were confirmed not to be foreign spies.

In fact, I shouldn't have explained it in such detail to these guys, but the Americans had encountered a similar situation before. Because the soldiers were not told the specific tasks, a few of them who were restless actually touched the core area and were directly infected by the unknown virus, turning into monsters that were neither human nor ghost. It took a motorized infantry battalion to kill these infected people. Now, their remains are still soaked in formalin as specimens in the Extraterrestrial Research Institute. I don't know if they have developed anything after all these years.

As they were talking, the soldiers were taken away by their captains to their respective areas to deploy defenses. Meanwhile, researchers in white chemical protective suits were carefully collecting these strange objects.

A month later, these scattered strange fragments were completely recovered and transported to a secret base in Colorado.

Inside the base, through analysis of other recovered fragments, it was discovered that they were a type of unstable energy. Due to their special existence, they had no physical form on Earth and could only communicate with humans through telepathy or something like that. And in their mouths, they kept repeating a name:

"Alien beast?"

In the White House, in front of the president's desk, looking at the white document handed over by the Secretary of Defense, the president was very confused by this somewhat strange term.

"Well, those creatures named Visitors kept repeating a term, which is Alien Beasts. But unfortunately, it is difficult for us to communicate with them, and we have no idea what these Alien Beasts are."

"It's been three months since the meteorite fell, and we still haven't deciphered their language?"

"Mr. President, you can take another look at my report. The way they communicate with us is a kind of telepathy, but it is difficult for ordinary people to withstand this kind of strange radio waves..."

"Then let those people with super powers go. Don't they have amazing perception? Let them communicate with these visitors and make sure to find out what these so-called alien beasts are."

After receiving the president's order, the defense minister stood at attention and left. Soon, a large number of superpowers were recruited to a secret base in Colorado to communicate with the visitors telepathically to obtain more intelligence. It was not known whether these visitors were too powerful or they were just for show, but the dialogue was still difficult.

But no one realized that the illusory alien beast mentioned by the visitor actually came so quickly...

1990, Colorado

"Moo~moo~!"

“Meeh~Meeh!”

"Uu! Uu!"

In the middle of the night, the livestock in the fence suddenly became restless, and the ranch owner naturally heard this. A middle-aged white man got up from the bed in annoyance, picked up his shotgun hanging on the wall, and walked towards the fence while cursing.

"Where did you come from, you bastard? You'd better not let me catch you, or I will make you regret coming here!"

But when the rancher came to the fence cursing, he saw by the light of the flashlight a scene that he would never forget in his life.

I saw a half-human, half-beast guy with an unclear face grabbing the horse in the fence with one claw, biting off the horse's neck, drinking blood and gnawing at the horse's flesh. In less than ten minutes, a horse weighing several hundred kilograms was gnawed down to a skeleton. There was no life in the entire fence, whether it was cattle, sheep or horses, all turned into skeletons, and after the hungry humanoid monster ate the livestock, it set its sights on the two trembling middle-aged men...

While this was happening, the visitors became unusually irritable, and at the same time, the researchers discovered that a strange waveform was detected on their spectrometer.

This matter was naturally reported to the higher authorities. At the same time, this strange case in Colorado was also learned about. With such a close distance, it was hard not to be suspicious. After a brief investigation, the US discovered the existence of this suspected alien beast. As the visitors repeatedly emphasized the word alien beast, the US dispatched a large-scale force to block the area and began a carpet search. After consuming a lot of manpower and material resources and paying huge casualties, they successfully eliminated the alien beast code-named ZERO (zero) and carried out the highest level of information control and recovery.

“This should be the last piece.”

After putting a fingernail-sized skin fragment into a glass test tube, an Asian researcher breathed a sigh of relief. He and his team had been searching here for three full days, and his back was almost broken during these three days.

He straightened his back with great effort, carefully placed the glass test tube into the storage box he carried with him, and then prepared to meet up with the captain.

But he didn't notice that there was an extremely tiny hole in his chemical protective suit, and a piece of debris as small as the tip of a toothpick passed through the crack and entered the body of the Asian.

But the other party was unaware of it. After handing over the recovered fragments, he disinfected his whole body, then returned to the Colorado base, took a few bites of the food that he usually loved to eat but now tasted like chewing wax, and fell asleep.

Within an hour, his temperature went up and down, he was sweating all over, his breathing was rapid, and his limbs were twitching…

"Ha! Ah..."

With a cry of surprise, the man jumped up from the bed, his eyes flashing green.

"Where am I?"
