Chapter 40

Welcoming the "Living Ancestor"!

"Don't shoot! Put your guns down, all of you!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly resounded on the deathly silent cave bank.

Followed by.

An elderly man wearing a military overcoat and carrying a general's star on his shoulder ignored the guards' attempts to stop him, pushed aside the riot shield blocking his way, and strode to the front of the cordon.

His weathered face was now etched with anxiety and fury.

"Who gave you permission to point guns at him?!"

"That's our comrade! A hero! Not an enemy!"

The old general's voice trembled.

He stared intently at the young man who emerged from the water.

His face was as pale as paper.

His bare upper body was covered with shocking scars.

In particular, the black Qilin tattoo on his chest, under the strong light of the searchlight, was faintly glowing with an eerie red light, as if it were alive, exuding a suffocatingly fierce aura.

Just now.

All the bio-radars triggered an alarm.

The signal displayed is not a human signal.

Instead, it is an extremely dangerous "high-energy heat source"!

It's like an ancient ferocious beast that has just crawled out of hell!

Although the surrounding soldiers lowered their guns, their fingers remained firmly gripping the trigger guards, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads down their gas masks.

That was an instinctive fear.

Fear of facing apex predators.

Jiang Han looked at the old general charging towards him, and his previously tense muscles relaxed slightly.

The mad killing intent in his eyes also quietly subsided.

"Oh……"

He twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a set of white teeth stained with blood, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper were rubbing against a table:

"good."

"At least they didn't just shoot me out of the blue."

General Li Zhenhua rushed to the shore and, seeing Jiang Han's swaying yet defiant appearance, his eyes instantly reddened.

He didn't speak.

Instead, he suddenly straightened his back.

Snapped!

A perfect military salute!

"Li Zhenhua, Special Advisor to Bureau 749 and Commander-in-Chief of the Western Theater Command!"

"I'm here to take you home!"

"Comrade Jiang Han! You've worked hard!"

This roar, full of energy, echoed throughout the empty cave.

At that moment, the hundreds of fully armed special forces soldiers around seemed to be inspired by something.

Swish-!

The sound of guns being put away in unison.

Then.

Hundreds of hands were raised at the same time.

salute!

At that moment, the oppressive atmosphere in the air instantly dissipated, replaced by a solemnity that stirred the blood.

Jiang Han was stunned for a moment.

He had imagined being dissected, he had imagined being imprisoned, but he never imagined... he would be regarded as a hero.

"Alright, stop with the fluff."

Jiang Han waved his hand, his body swayed, and he almost fell back into the water.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"

Yes! We have them all!

Li Zhenhua quickly stepped forward, wanting to help Jiang Han.

"Don't touch me."

Jiang Han subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

"I'm covered in corpse poison and radiation. Stay away from me if you don't want to die."

Li Zhenhua's hand froze in mid-air.

Just then.

A team of biomedical personnel dressed in full-body white protective suits rushed up.

They weren't holding a stretcher or a blanket.

Instead, it was a huge, transparent... biohazard isolation bag!

There were also several gleaming tranquilizer injection guns!

"Quick! The target's surface radiation level is too high! Initiate containment procedures immediately!"

"Prepare to inject a large dose of sedative! To prevent the target from going berserk!"

The leading expert shouted loudly, and a group of people were about to pounce on Jiang Han.

In their eyes.

Jiang Han is not human.

It is a "humanoid bioweapon" that has just crawled out of an ancient tomb and carries an unknown virus.

Jiang Han's eyes instantly turned cold.

With a flick of his wrist, though he held no knife, the murderous aura emanating from him was sharper than any blade.

"roll."

One word.

The experts who were at the forefront felt as if they had been roared at by a tiger, and their legs went weak, almost causing them to kneel on the ground.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Li Zhenhua was furious.

He rushed forward and kicked over the isolation bag in the lead expert's hand.

"Containment? Contain your ass!"

"He's a human being! A hero! Not a monster!"

"Anyone who dares to put him in that tattered bag, I'll kill him!"

After cursing.

Without saying a word, Li Zhenhua took off his heavy military overcoat.

Ignoring Jiang Han's warning, he strode forward and draped his coat over Jiang Han's wet and icy body.

"Put them on!"

"That's an order!"

The old man's hands were strong and warm.

The military overcoat still carried the warmth of my body and a faint smell of tobacco.

Jiang Han's body stiffened.

The fierce energy that had been supporting him actually cracked slightly under this warmth.

He did not resist.

She let the coat wrap around her.

Thanks.

Jiang Han said in a low voice.

"Let's go! Get in the car! This isn't the place to talk!"

Li Zhenhua protected Jiang Han as if she were a newborn cub, then turned and walked towards the armored medical vehicle parked behind them.

The surrounding soldiers automatically parted to make way.

His eyes were filled with awe.

however.

Just as Jiang Han was about to board the armored vehicle.

A commotion suddenly broke out on the outer perimeter of the police cordon.

"Let us pass! We have the right to know the truth!"

That creature belongs to all mankind! You cannot hide it!

A group of blond, blue-eyed people carrying long guns and short cannons stormed the police line.

Although they are labeled as "international media".

But his agile movements and the greedy look hidden behind the camera clearly indicated that he was no ordinary reporter.

They are spies of foreign forces!

They panicked.

The last scene of the live broadcast, the hundred-meter-long dragon skin, and the dragon's roar from the earth's core, have driven the whole world crazy.

They need to get firsthand information!

Even... we got the samples!

"Mr. Jiang Han! Is there really a dragon down there?"

"Did you bring back any biological samples?"

"I'm a BBC reporter, and we're willing to pay ten million US dollars for an exclusive interview with you!"

The noise and shouts instantly filled the entire cave.

Li Zhenhua's face darkened instantly.

"Get them out of here! This is a Level 1 security zone. Who allowed them in?!"

The soldiers immediately raised their shields, trying to push the group away.

But the group of people were like flies that had smelled blood, refusing to back down no matter what. Some even tried to throw the microphone at Jiang Han.

Jiang Han stopped in her tracks.

He slowly turned around.

Those bloodshot eyes, filled with extreme exhaustion, coldly swept over the group of people from dozens of meters away.

hum!

The air seemed to freeze.

The group of foreigners who were still shouting suddenly fell silent.

They felt as if they were being watched by an ancient behemoth.

A chilling dread, emanating from the depths of my soul, instantly spread throughout my body.

That is... the might of the Qilin!

"Noisy."

Jiang Han's lips moved slightly, and he uttered two words.

next second.

Several foreigners who were at the forefront and shouting the loudest suddenly rolled their eyes back, as if their bones had been removed, and knelt down on the ground with a thud!

Foaming at the mouth!

His whole body was convulsing!

The entire room fell silent.

Nobody knows what happened.

Only Li Zhenhua was closest, and he saw with horror that the Qilin tattoo on Jiang Han's chest seemed to... open its eyes for a moment.

"Let's go."

Jiang Han withdrew his gaze, as if looking at a group of dead people.

He turned and got into the car.

The car doors slammed shut.

Completely shut out that noisy world.
