Chapter 618: The Sky Has Fallen

Mimic....

This kind of thing actually spread to Cloud Star?!

A chief investigator was looking at the battle report, his face solemn.

Unlike the mother star, the pollution on Cloud Star starts at medium-high intensity, most of it is ultra-high intensity, and some areas can even reach taboo intensity.

This thing grows stronger by relying on simulation, devouring, and other strange angles; essentially, the more bizarre the anomaly, the greater its benefit.

In other words, humanity, unbeknownst to itself, has forged an incredibly terrifying enemy....

Every year, tens of thousands of elite guards are sent to Cloud Star to defend humanity's last stronghold; although the situation is dire now, humanity's foundation remains.

This is a civilization already capable of interstellar travel—although countless people die each day from anomalies, countless unnamed families also have false memories fabricated and implanted into reality.

That's right, artificial humans have been secretly deployed since countless years ago, but no one could detect them, precisely because false memories were fabricated.

These people, either due to bankruptcy or due to family deaths, decided to move to a new area to live.

In short, if a new neighbor moves in next door, would you suspect they're artificial humans? Regardless of experience or personality, they have no issues whatsoever.

Moreover, they themselves don't even know they are artificial humans.

All-out pursuit of the mimics on Cloud Star!

They are few in number, and their reproduction requires a very harsh environment!

Thus, a hunt against the mimics began, relying on a special containment device that let humans easily locate the hiding mimics and swing the slaughtering blade.

Just as a lone mimic was being hunted, Qi Yu woke up startled.

The scene of their companions being slaughtered appeared in the dream, causing Qi Yu to unconsciously shed tears....

"Xigua Pi.... did you wet the bed?"

Zhang Jie mumbled in a daze, feeling wet and slightly sticky underneath.

So, it must be Xigua Pi who wet the bed!

Qi Yu:......

"Hmph!"

The sorrow Qi Yu had just accumulated was washed away completely at that moment, as if she had just had a strange nightmare.

After regaining consciousness, she wasn't so sad anymore, only feeling a sense of loss.

But when she held Zhang Jie's arm, that sense of loss vanished instantly—because Zhang Jie is her kind!

Still, that kind of exceptionally powerful kin—Qi Yu said while watching animal shows on TV, that insects generally, when protected by elders, grow up very happily and then.... break out of their cocoons to become butterflies!

As Qi Yu thought, she snuggled further into Zhang Jie's embrace, but the wonderful time was ultimately brief—she hadn't even held him long when the room door suddenly swung open.

"Brother! Have you seen Xigua Pi? She said she wants to go shopping with me today!"

Qi Yu:.....

Qi Yu: What the hell.....

"....."

"Qi Yu!!!!"

"How dare you lie on my brother's bed!!!!"

Zhang Yan saw this scene and felt the sky was about to collapse—clearly... clearly she was the person closest to my brother!

But she has never even lain on my younger brother's bed!

Oh, they're actually biological siblings, so it's fine—doesn't feel as bad anymore.

"What are you yelling about...."

Zhang Jie got up with a speechless expression, looking at the two and said.
