Chapter 29: Chapter 27 You've Already Made Contact, Huh!?
"Professor Zhang, could this be someone's idea of a prank?" Li Chunhong felt his blood pressure rising as he braced himself and kindly suggested, "Is there a possibility that someone has hacked this device?"
"Let me check..." Zhang Hui was sweating profusely.
But this machine was an artifact left by aliens, communicating through some supernatural method, and not via electromagnetic waves.
If someone really managed to hack this device, they absolutely would need to find a way to revere this peerless genius!
The human continued muttering to himself, "Why isn't the screen lighting up? Is it broken?"
"Click clack click clack."
The creature, seemingly human, stretched out a hand to randomly press buttons, causing the signal to cut in and out, as the screen suddenly shut off and then suddenly lit up again.
"The screen isn't lighting up at all! I thought it was some valuable treasure... turns out it's just a piece of junk."
He kept speaking in human language.
"What's displayed here is... time, right? It's somewhat useful, at least I won't have to keep track of time everyday... Just that I don't recognize these numbers, seems like I'll have to seriously study them."
"Sigh, the only piece of electronic garbage I picked up in a hundred days that can still be started up, turns out to be nothing but a clock."
"However, it's not too bad, the joy of scavenging is like fishing, it's all about the unexpected finds! Having too much hope often leads to disappointment."
The higher-ups of 17 cities were left stunned by this guy, completely clueless about the situation.
What on Earth is he talking about?!
What... what one hundred days, picking up trash?
A few sharp staff members seemed to have realized something, exchanging glances with each other, but however they thought about it, it seemed far too bizarre...
Next, the humanoid creature turned around and began to dig into the ground!
In no time at all, he actually unearthed a bright red Crystal Stone from deep underground, the size of fist, radiating with a bright glow.
"That Fire Lizard is so powerful, it indeed hid treasures... Haha, I've really struck it rich this time!"
The humanoid creature grinned from ear to ear!
"With this thing... I can cultivate my Extraordinary Spark even faster!"
...
Extraordinary Spark!
This keyword made all the listeners perk up their ears.
Because just now on the screen, there was a prompt about 'Extraordinary Spark'; does Yunhai City have 3 Extraordinary Sparks?
But what exactly does 'Extraordinary Spark' mean, no one knew.
Professor Zhang Hui swallowed hard and quietly asked his assistant, "Little Guo, have we detected any unknown electromagnetic waves? Is there a hacker?"
"Professor Zhang, there are no electromagnetic waves... The footage is real, absolutely genuine! There can't be a hacker!" In the Supernatural Laboratory, a young doctoral student in charge of communications was written all over with disbelief.
"The playback speed of that instrument's screen is a hundred times that of ours... We merely used technological means to slow down the footage!"
"Is he really a person from Pangu Continent?"
"..."
The situation was too eerie, completely beyond their expectations!
An alien with a big head, or a Merman, or a lizard man would have been fine!
Why was it a human, and one who spoke Chinese no less?!
They checked a hundred times, even with the naked eye, confirming that the crystal screen showed a human!
"Could it be that his screen over there is actually broken?" Zhang Hui thought of a possibility, "Maybe the two sides have already made contact, but it seems like there's no feedback from his end... That's why the guy keeps talking to himself."
"Professor, we've obtained the facial recognition data for this creature, and it appears to be one of our own from the Great Dong Country,"
"He's right in Yunhai City, Yu Tao District, named Lu Yuan, 24 years old, and works as a programmer at New Century Technology and Networking Co., Ltd.!"
When they reached this conclusion, the atmosphere in the office grew even more eerie.
The top official in Yunhai City, Li Chunhong, took a blood pressure pill, "Let's not publicize this yet. Keep it strictly confidential! Pretend he's an alien!"
On the large screen in front of them, the young man was baring his teeth and straining to push a large metal ball, talking to himself, "Let's expose it to the sun, since it's solar-powered; maybe a charge could establish a connection... It's so heavy, I can't move it at all!"
A metal ball that weighs several tons isn't something a person could possibly move.
A few wolf-like creatures were running around the big sphere, playing joyfully and howling with excitement, saliva dripping onto the ground as if they were asking for something.
In the communication dialogues of 17 cities, whispers finally emerged: "Are those wild animals from the Pangu Continent? There are no such wolves on Earth."
"Did he domesticate these wolves?"
The Pangu Grey Wolves had a more robust and brawny build, with subtle differences from the wolves on Earth.
In 17 cities, there were actually no areas where wild wolves roamed — except in zoos.
"Impossible... The Safe Zone hasn't been lifted yet, is he human... how did he get out?"
Yes, the Safe Zone is inviolable.
Unless this guy turned himself into electromagnetic waves or into water molecules.
But that's also impossible, because superpowers have their limits, and the ability to completely transform one's own material form is not possible in current supernatural theories.
"Professor Zhang, could we try to communicate with him?" Just then, a military representative spoke up.
"I'm trying!"
"Hey, sir from the Meida Civilization, can you hear me? Hey, hello! Do you hear me speaking? Hello?" The staff kept trying to communicate with the other party, hitting various buttons.
But the other party's machine seemed to really only have a send function, no receive function.
After calling for a long time, there was no response.
"Haha, I've thought of a great way to move this!" On the screen, the young man smiled, extending a hand.
The screen turned to pure black.
After quite a while, when the screen reappeared, the device had been moved under the sunlight, but it was unclear how he managed to do it.
The pupils of everyone in the conference room dilated; they actually saw a lizard creature as large as a small hill!
The lizard was covered in fiery red scale armor, with several long spears in its belly, the blood that had flowed out already dried up, and it seemed... probably... dead?
Was this giant creature his prey?
How did he do it?
There were just too many questions, and so suddenly, that everyone's brains seemed to jam.
All kinds of imaginings, all sorts of conjectures bubbled up like soap bubbles.
"First, let's sunbathe and charge up. Once fully charged, I'll try to contact the humans again." The suspicious humanoid creature stood in front of the screen and clicked it off with a "snap."
"Don't, don't turn it off... We still want to watch!" An agitated young scholar yelled out involuntarily, "You've already made contact! Don't shut it off!!"
But the young man couldn't hear, and ultimately, the screen went blank.
Leaving everyone standing there, looking at each other in confusion.
