"What the fuck... This has to be CGI, right?"
Xiaoyun was in full shock as the docunt contained a picture of the Eiffel Tower destroyed in half.
A giant monster stood right next to it, its blood-red flesh as skin and sharp claws on its hand.
It almost looked like Godzilla, but even more hideous and dangerous as he got a little scared just looking at it.
"It's not CGI... A comrcial plane flying from Europe just landed at Guangzhou airport.
Here, just look at the other images... There's more proof of it, too, and all the survivors in the plane have no reason to lie."
As Yezi flipped the docunt to the next page, hundreds more photos from different angles were visible.
Even one of the photos was up close, with the monster's bloody flesh that looked way too real to be fake.
But soon, Xiaoyun was even more horrified as Yezi flipped to the next page, which showed a completely different country.
"This is?"
"Berlin, Germany... Their official governnt Reichstag building."
This one only had a single picture, but it was enough to tell Xiaoyun what happened to it.
The entire building was crushed into rubble, and so sort of giant snake lay on the side, seemingly asleep.
"How many people know about this?" Xiaoyun asked in a concerned voice.
"Only a group of salvagers who detained the passenger on the plane know about this docunt... And the passengers themselves."
"They fled from Europe, right? Why did they land here?"
Xiaoyun asked as he flipped to the next page of the docunt, which showed more European capital with giant mutated animals.
Countries like Russia had a giant mutated bear of so sort, while Italy had a giant mutated grey wolf.
It was almost an odd phenonon as all of them were European capitals, with different kinds of giant mutated animals besides the one in France.
"They were planning to fly to New Zealand but ran out of fuel halfway through, and all the airfields they flew towards were damaged.
And in pure coincidence, when they were trying last ditch effort to land here instead, a group of salvagers was nearby."
Hearing Yezi's explanation, Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief as the information was still hidden from the public.
"Are they still in the airport?"
"No, I already told the salvage group to bring them to here... They are actually in the training field right now."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go there right now."
As the two headed back out to the living room, all of the girls imdiately noticed the change in their faces.
"I'll be back later tonight... Kate and Anna, can you two co with for a second?"
Kate and Anna looked back at Xiaoyun with so confusion but accepted his request, quickly getting up and following the two out of the house.
---
When the four arrived at the training field, an empty bus was parked at the front entrance.
As the two entered the command center, Xiaoyun finally saw the salvage group and the foreigners, all standing across from each other.
"You six, you can go enjoy your break."
Hearing Yezi's command, the six soldiers standing guard inside the room quickly left.
"Everyone, please take a seat. I'm Xiaoyun, the commander of the temporary National Reclamation Governnt."
Xiaoyun spoke in both Chinese and English and fortunately, few people on the foreign side understood it.
As everyone took a seat in the command center, Xiaoyun took out the docunt that Yezi handed earlier.
"I assu everyone here has read this docunt, right?"
This ti, the foreign side started whispering to each other before nodding in agreent.
anwhile, the salvage groups also nodded in agreent, their faces still looking a little afraid of what they had seen.
"I just want to tell you guys first. This docunt is fake, and it's just from a video ga.
These foreigners are just French Ubisoft employees with their work in progress." Xiaoyun stated in Chinese only this ti.
"I told you. There's no way this kind of monster exists in this world." One of the salvage groups imdiately spoke out.
"You're right, you're right, boss." Several of the salvage mbers murmured.
Seeing the salvage groups seem in full understanding, Xiaoyun went inside his jacket before pulling out a check.
"I just want to thank you all for safely transporting civilians back to Guangdong.
Take this as gratitude for your hard work... I don't want anyone to know about this."
Xiaoyun hands a thousand-dollar food stamp check over to the one that everyone called the boss.
"No problem Commander Xiaoyun. We swear to serve and protect the people!"
The boss imdiately put the check inside his pocket and saluted him.
"Great. Now, do you guys want a ride back to Guangzhou?"
"No need, sir. We have our car outside," the salvage group boss replied.
"Okay, you all may leave now."
As all of the salvage groups left the room, Xiaoyun turned his attention back to the foreigners.
Most of the foreigners looked alert toward Xiaoyun, but they seed much more trusting when Kate and Anna stood behind him.
"Ahem, do any of you speak English?"
Xiaoyun waited until one of the n in the group of ten foreigners finally raised their hand.
"I speak English, sir."
"Great. Are you guys all from France?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"No, sir. Most of us are actually from all over Europe. But the plane we ca from was from France."
Xiaoyun sat in silence as he opened the docunts and laid them all on the table one by one.
"You guys collected all these?"
"No, sir. We brought most of them as a collection for our trip to New Zealand."
"Why New Zealand?"
"Because we heard a rumor that there are no mutated monsters over there."
"But there's still zombies everywhere on the globe."
Xiaoyun's comnt seed to have triggered so sort of flashback in the man's mind, as he froze for a second before coming back.
"Zombies are better than mutated monsters... Those monsters are unkillable."
"Unkillable? Really? Not even bombs or nukes?"
"The military couldn't use a nuke in the city... Besides, we already tried to use explosives towards it and failed."
Seeing the sticky situation at hand, Xiaoyun shifted the topic.
"So, is the entirety of Europe full of this kind of monster? When did it all start?"
The man sat in silence for a second before turning over to his peers, then finally responded with a figure that relieved Xiaoyun.
"It's unique, sir. There's only one monster in each of the capitals, and it started a year after the outbreak."
"I see... Do these monsters move or fight zombies at all?"
"They don't move outside of their city zone... They barely interact with the zombies there at all."
"Thank you..."
With all the information gathered, Xiaoyun now has another decision to make before him.
As he sat in silence, the group of foreigners started to get a little nervous, as they had been completely disard already.
Their fate was completely up to Xiaoyun, who almost looked like so sort of military dictator in their eyes.
"Just one last thing before I let you all go... Do you guys still want to go to New Zealand?"
The man seed to freeze for a second as if he didn't believe what Xiaoyun had just said.
"Mister Xiaoyun... Are you letting us go?"
"Of course. Why would I forcefully detain you all? You guys had done nothing wrong."
Seeing Xiaoyun's genuine face, the man turned back to his group of survivors to chat about sothing.
Soon, it started to get heated, raising the level of escalation as so of them started yelling in anger.
The man who had been talking to Xiaoyun earlier soon fell into silence as if he had been ousted from his position as their representative.
"Woah, what's going on there? Is there a problem we can help with?" Xiaoyun curiously asked out loud.
The group of foreigner stopped as they all turned towards Xiaoyun, speaking to him in their languages.
"Xiaoyun, they are saying they want to refuel their plane," Kate explained as she translated so of their ssage to him.
"Tell them that we can't provide fuel for free... And that the fuel in the airport will cost money," Xiaoyun stated in English.
The man instantly yelled sothing in French, as if he predicted that's what Xiaoyun was going to set up with.
After Kate translated Xiaoyun's ssage, the foreigners briefly discussed it before reaching a unanimous decision.
"What do you want from us?" The man asked, his voice sounding a little annoyed.
"Nothing. I don't need anything from you guys. All of you are the ones that need to co up with valuable to give to ."
"How about the docunt you took from us?"
"This docunt? Yezi, who handed this to you? Did these foreigners pass the docunt to you?"
"The salvage group did." Yezi finally speaks up.
"Oh, look like this isn't your bargaining chip then. Perhaps you guys need to co up with sothing else."
