They'd been prepared for a lot of things, but this hadn't even been vaguely in the spectrum of things that they were prepared for.
When Lukas and his party heard about Alec and Dominique acquiring part of the red meteorite from under the base in N1 base, they thought that what they acquired from J City would be roughly the same.
The lab in J City had been strangely untouched despite the varying states of destruction the rest of the city was in.
Originally, they thought it was because there were various buildings around it that had been much taller than the lab, thus protecting it and the underground, but it looked like that wasn't the case.
Inside the case, there appeared to be a grey doll of sorts, stuffed into the container until there was no visible space inside it for it to move around without having to break a limb. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Liam made a vaguely distressed sound that felt very far away from him. Lukas absently patted his twin comfortingly.
What was inside the box did not appear either human or zombie, but still had vaguely humanoid features, save for the fact that instead of hands or legs, it had tentacles.
Liam hysterically thought that it kind of looked like Squidward. Just without the nose.
If they stretched out the doll inside, it would be roughly the size of an adult female.
What really stunned them was the fact of the 'doll'. Would the scientists and researchers keep a 'doll' around in their tightly secured, high-tech lab?
The answer was no.
So, if it wasn't a doll, and it wasn't a zombie, and it wasn't a human…
The aliens had truly invaded their planet?
Alec narrowed his eyes. George Bailey's words were coming to mind, and he wasn't the only one who was thinking that way.
"That's definitely an 'alien', isn't it?" Rosabel pointed out curiously. This world was truly bringing a variety of things to her knowledge base. There were so many things that she'd never seen or contemplated before, causing her to have to rapidly adapt if she wanted to blend in.
Sticking around H base with Yuki had caused her infiltration and acting skills to grow rapidly. While she still preferred to strike out with her fist first, it was no fun if the people here weren't strong enough to fight back!
The inhabitants from this planet looked like they were struggling to make sense of what was happening. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that they would find an alien in the box.
Not only had their planet been plagued with the zombie virus, there was the appearance of what appeared to be an alien that had been procured from J City's labs. Which meant that the government was in on it. They had to be.
"Did you not hack into the lab's servers before acquiring this box?"
Karen looked like she was thinking hard back to what she'd read from the lab's servers. "Of course. We wouldn't have found that room had it not been for the fact that there were old blueprints inside, but I didn't read about anything that even hinted about this… alien," she said, gesturing to the box.
The room fell silent.
"Ah, but I did download the contents on their server into this thumbdrive," she said, waving the device.
Natalie's eyes were all but shining as they stared at the alien still stuffed into the box. She was itching to take a few samples and run it under a microscope.
She mentally slapped herself. No, Natalie. This was exactly what had gotten her into trouble in the first place!
Alec started making speculations.
Based on George Bailey's words, their 'brainwash' was something that had been under the alien's control – but he never once saw anything that could have tipped him off to alien conquest.
There were just so many questions that were going unanswered.
"Natalie, take a sample from the alien."
A shudder went through Natalie's body at the order, her heart stuttering in her chest before resuming its pounding.
She swallowed, yet she could hardly deny the delight that filled up her chest. "Are you sure you want me to do that?"
Lukas turned his head to the scientist. "I thought you wanted to help humanity?"
Natalie nodded rapidly, an almost fanatical gleam in her eyes that reminded Alec a lot of how Dominique looked at him ever since their first fateful encounter. "I do!"
The group watched as Natalie carefully extracted a bit of silvery liquid from the being, shutting the box back over the being and placing it out of sight. She all but clutched the liquid to herself as if she was afraid that someone would take it away from her.
Though it was just merely out of sight, the tension in the room seemed to decrease a little when the alien was no longer in their direct line of sight. They knew that it was still in the room but looking at it had not been pleasant.
First, they had zombies, now they had aliens?
A theory was being born in Alec's brain about the sequences of events that had happened so far.
One, the place they'd originally appeared at was near J City.
Two, the presence of the meteorite.
Three, the presence of the alien.
Together, it only meant one thing.
But Alec wasn't going to give voice to his thoughts just yet.
In silent agreement, the people in the room left the container there even as they moved the rest of the things into one of the rooms that had been cornered off for Natalie's research.
For now, they put aside the thought of the alien that was in their living room, going about the various things they needed to do.
Natalie was already diving headfirst into her research with a feverish enthusiasm like a woman that had been stranded in the desert with no water and just witnessed the beautiful oasis.
Natalie was a scientist through and through, otherwise she wouldn't have been caught up in this mess in the first place. It was just a part of her, as much as the Sins had bloodlust to their Societype.
The strangest thing was that none of the other labs had anyone else who'd survived, most of the scientists turning into zombies. If there were, they were no longer in the labs.
Across the room, Lukas and Dominique caught each other's eyes, glaring at each other as sparks flew in the air.
Dominique stalked out of the room, and Lukas was hot on his heels.
Rosabel clicked her tongue watching the two disappear to god knows where. She disapproved of Dominique acting like this and leaving their boss behind.
It couldn't be that he was cheating on their boss with his new fling right in front of all their eyes?
Frowning disapprovingly, she made to go after them, only to be dragged off by Yuki, who gave a faint huff of exasperation.

Natalie was frantically jotting down her notes on paper – how backward – as she adjusted the magnification on the magnifying glass that the others had so graciously acquired for her to use for this very purpose.
How could she not be excited?
This was an alien.
Natalie had always discounted those UFO sightings that so many people made over the years because of their outlandish explanations, but now that she was faced with actual proof right in front of her very eyes, how could she not be excited?
Alien blood! Alien cells! Extra-terrestrial lifeforms! There was literally a whole new world for her to explore!
The silvery liquid was what appeared to be blood from the alien.
What she really wanted to know was the relationship between the alien and the zombies. Were they intrinsically related at the molecular level, or was it something else entirely?
Every cell in her body was vibrating in excitement.
She needed more.
Natalie slammed open the door to her 'lab', startling the inhabitants of the room.
They eyed her warily, with polite disinterest, but it didn't cut as much as it previously did.
"Cells. Materials. I need more materials from zombies!" Natalie said with fevered excitement.
Karen clicked her tongue with disapproval as she saw how much Natalie's state had slipped compared to when they'd been going around the various labs searching for clues.
Behind them, in the depths of the metal container, a being silently opened its eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
