Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Alien Species Appears
Chapter 34 -34 Alien Species Appears
During lunch, Yan Xiao and the others walked into the house, with Bai Kairui among them.
Upon seeing Han Yi, Yan Xiao immediately approached and said, “Brother Han, you would never guess, Bai Kairui also attended the scout summer camp with us.” After saying that, he shook the keychain in his hand, “Look, the commemorative badge from back then.”
Bai Kairui stood by, laughing goofily.
Han Yi took the keychain, which had a small badge hanging from it. The badge was engraved with a year. “Hmm, it’s from our year.”
Han Jiaojiao also leaned in to look, curiously asking, “Brother, you attended a scout summer camp too?…” Why didn’t she know?
Han Yi slightly smiled and said, “Yes, I attended once when I was ten.” He handed the keychain back to Bai Kairui, still with a cool tone but with a bit more warmth, “It seems that whole batch had over sixty people, I never expected to meet anyone from it after so much time.”
Bai Kairui laughed heartily, “I didn’t expect it either. Actually, after that camp, I moved back to the UK with my parents, and I’ve kept this commemorative badge ever since.”
“No wonder your Chinese is so good, you attended school here as a kid,” Han Jiaojiao exclaimed, “But why is your accent so strange.”
Scratching the back of his head, Bai Kairui said, “For a while… I liked imitating the Japanese accent… and then I couldn’t quite change it back.”
“……”
Please differentiate “two” and “sun” correctly, okay?
Because of this, Bai Kairui’s identity shifted from a surprisingly arrived stranger to a childhood friend from the past. Along with Yan Xiao’s intentional and unintentional actions of closeness, the atmosphere at the dinner table became very harmonious. Within a few words, they recalled many childhood anecdotes about the camp, and as some stories involved Han Yi, Han Jiaojiao listened with keen interest.
After finishing their meals, everyone went back to their individual tasks.
Lu Changyuan was watching the news while scribbling on a piece of paper. Xiao Jian went off for physical training. Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui huddled together to study Abilities and, speaking of Abilities, they were the only pair in the villa who could speak the same language on that subject. Although Han Yi too had an Ability, his being Psychic Type, it was hard for them to relate.
Han Jiaojiao originally intended to do physical training but now was chatting enthusiastically with Han Yi, eagerly asking about his childhood.
“You were so young when you went to survive in the wilderness on an island? Was it dangerous? Weren’t you scared, brother? I heard you even had to learn how to build a raft…”
“There were lead teachers, it was very safe.”
“But brother, you were only ten then, just ten, and you had to build your own raft! And you had to make fire and find your own food.”
“There were even younger ones.”
“Ah? But weren’t all the kids in your batch aged between ten and twelve?”
“Yan Xiao, he was only nine at that time, but he went too.”
Staring blankly at Han Yi, Han Jiaojiao muttered, “So he stuck close to brother even when he was that young…”
Han Yi laughed.
As the two were chatting fondly, suddenly, a scream came from outside!
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
The people in the living room looked at each other, then immediately rushed outside.
Just as they reached the door, the scream came again, this time louder and more shrill. The sound was closer to the villa now!
Outside in the yard, Bai Kairui was nowhere to be seen; only Yan Xiao was seen throwing Fireballs through the iron column railing. — His trembling was too severe; the Fireballs were irregular in size and distance, extinguishing mid-air shortly after being thrown, hardly effective at all.
Han Yi, who was at the front, was the first to see the gruesome sight. He promptly pulled the handgun from behind Han Jiaojiao’s waist and fired a shot outside the iron railing!
“Ah!—-” came a piercing roar, like an angry squeal.
“Bang! Bang!” Two more shots, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Everything happened too fast. By the time Han Jiaojiao and Lu Changyuan got to the iron gate, they could see everything that had happened.
About twenty to thirty meters from their villa lay a blood-soaked woman and a humanoid monster!
The woman was covered in blood, her wounds indistinguishable, while the monster had a robust physique, bluish-purple skin, and bulging muscles and bones. Its terrifying skull protruded upward with two hollow eyes oozing dark viscous fluid. Under the ghastly pale sunlight, it appeared even more bizarre and terrifying.
Lu Changyuan was the first to speak, “It’s an Alien Species.” His gaze shifted to Han Yi and Han Jiaojiao, “This one is bigger than the ones we encountered outside the city, and its color is deeper.”
Yan Xiao gave a painful grimace, “My Fireball can’t be thrown very far…”
Lu Changyuan patted his shoulder, “Look at the trail of blood, she clearly has been bitten several times, even if she were saved, she wouldn’t survive.”
Han Yi’s face showed little emotion. He handed the gun back to Han Jiaojiao and said, “It’s the lady from the house up front, she must have been trying to find help.”
Han Jiaojiao silently stared at the dead Alien Species on the ground, wondering, could this Alien Species be her husband? Or her parents? Or perhaps… their housekeeper? Their driver?

No one knew the answer.
Xiao Jian, who was furthest from the courtyard wall, approached with a gun in hand.
When Han Yi saw him coming, he pointed outside and said, “Help Yan Xiao watch the surroundings, let him go burn the bodies.”
Yan Xiao stiffened, stammering, “…don’t… don’t we call the police?…”
He had burned bodies before, but those were Mutant Beast bodies, the one in front of him… this was a human!
Lu Changyuan shook his head decisively, “There will only be more Alien Species in the city, the police are too overwhelmed to care. Moreover, although this area is scantily populated, it’s surrounded by forests. The smell of blood might attract some Mutant Beasts from the woods. Since the body is too close to our dwelling, it’s better to deal with it quickly.”
Han Yi no longer paid attention to Yan Xiao. He looked around and asked, “Where’s Bai Kairui?”
As if waking from a dream, Yan Xiao hurriedly said, “He was startled earlier, then suddenly disappeared! Oh, maybe, maybe he turned invisible!”
Just as he finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared behind him, it was Bai Kairui, who had mysteriously vanished!
Bai Kairui was deathly pale, his body stiff, continuously muttering, “Oh God… it’s zombies! They’re zombies!”
He clutched Yan Xiao’s arm, excitedly exclaiming, “I knew it! It’s like a biohazard outbreak, right?! These monsters are products from the dark laboratory, right?!”
“Calm down…”
“It has to be, it has to be… the world is doomed… I can never go back, Lin and Tom are dead, and could the others turn into monsters too…”
Bai Kairui’s emotions seemed on the verge of collapse, his body flaring like a violently shifting chameleon, disappearing and reappearing intermittently!
This alternating between visibility and invisibility grew faster and more frequent! Han Jiaojiao felt like he was an out-of-control switch, endlessly flipping on and off!
Clearly unhinged, everyone remained cautious around Bai Kairui until Han Yi used his spiritual power to forcibly calm his emotions, allowing him to slowly regain his senses—
Bai Kairui wiped away sweat and said, “Thank you.”
“What happened here?” Lu Changyuan asked him.
Bai Kairui, sweating profusely and somewhat weakened, was answered by Yan Xiao, “He can control a type of minute molecule in the air, which can automatically adjust the absorption of different wavelengths of light and utilize optical refraction to produce an effect of invisibility.”
