Chapter 88: Falling Out
After returning to the base, they encountered a minor trouble.
According to the base’s regulations, to prevent the spread of the virus, the entry of living organisms was strictly prohibited. However, their mission specifically required them to deliver a live Alien Species. The staff at the base entrance had never encountered such a situation and needed to consult their superiors.
Thus, Han Yi and his group stopped at the security checkpoint. Given the size of the specimen, they weren’t worried about it being stolen, so they simply parked the car outside and went to get their medical checkups first, as the blood tests would take fifteen minutes to deliver results.
Before long, a military truck drove over from inside the base. Several people got off the truck, rushing towards them. The person in the lead was short and skinny, wearing thick glasses, clearly someone from the research team. As he walked, he quickly asked, "Where is it? Where?"
The security staff led him to the outside of the base. The man walked around the twisted and deformed car twice, seemingly in disbelief that the Alien Species was still alive. He kicked the car, and the Alien Species inside immediately emitted a deeply threatening rumble from deep within its throat.
Upon hearing this, the man was both alarmed and delighted, and laughed excitedly, "It’s alive! Alive! This is great! Hurry, hurry! Transport it back!"
The back of the military truck contained a sealed container with a high-carbon alloy steel cage inside, perfect for transporting an Alien Species. In case of any mishap, the security staff would not need to take responsibility.
However, after they finally managed to get the car into the container, they faced another issue.
—How to get the Alien Species out?
The Alien Species was tightly wedged inside. Question: How do you restore a crumpled soda can back to its original shape?
