Chapter 6

George decided to join the research team on the alien starship.

For the following few months, he would have to travel back and forth between NASA and Yale University.

After all, only the National Space Administration could provide complete facilities.

With this, his graduation thesis would naturally be about the research on alien starships, which meant he was researching his prize.

It was more interesting!

George didn’t stay for long. Before the sky turned dark, he boarded the Special Ops squad’s vehicle and returned to the city.

Along the way, he looked out through the car window and saw that traffic control was starting to appear on the roads near the city.

The most obvious point was that groups of fully armed police and National Guards were guarding the entrances and exits of every road.

The only fortunate thing was that the Special Ops vehicle George was in did not need to be inspected.

Such special treatment was not to be underestimated. It could allow him to return home in a very short time.

Originally, the vehicle had maintained cruising speed and sped past one checkpoint after another.

When they entered the city, because the streets were filled with objects that were destroyed by the crowd, the vehicle slowed down in turn.

“Buck, I remember that when we left the city in the morning, the conditions of the city were still very stable. Now, this…”

George could not comprehend what he was seeing. It had only been a few hours, yet why was it so chaotic?

Buck was sitting in the seat opposite George. He took off his beret and took out a small piece of paper from his hat.

“Take a look at this first!”

“What?”

Although George was puzzled, he still took the paper and opened it, only to see a very short sentence on it.

[Don’t just say whatever is on your mind. We must be careful that the aliens are eavesdropping!]

“…”

After George read the contents of the note, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.

If Buck found out in the end that the starship parked in outer space was his, George wondered if Buck would die of embarrassment and choose not to see him again.

However, since they were all treating the starship as a foreign object, George would not expose the truth now.

Out of his understanding of the human race, he was well aware that if he told the truth now, the humans might very well take him as a monster and study him.

This was not a simple assumption, but a highly possible fact.

Therefore, George would not reveal his identity before entering the interstellar warship.

“Cough, cough!” George played along with Buck. He pretended to be calm, then shut his mouth and did not speak anymore.

However, what surprised him was that Buck took out a pen and a notebook from the pocket in his shirt.

The meaning of him doing this was very obvious. This was to let George write down what he wanted to say.

George quickly waved his hand, indicating that he had nothing to say.

Good heavens, they were very wary of the unknown aliens, but weren’t they afraid that the unknown aliens were monitoring the actions of the Earthlings as well?

This would include when they were writing too.

At this time, the car had already entered the heart of the city. They were already very close to George’s home. After passing two streets, they would see the apartment that he lived in.

On the street outside the car window, fire and smoke were constantly rising. These were released by the crowd of demonstrators and it gave people the feeling that they were in the midst of a war.

After George shut his mouth, he focused all his attention on the streets outside the car.

Suddenly, among the crowd of demonstrators who were being chased by the police, an eye-catching figure was seen by George.

It was a girl wearing a gray coat. She had a beautiful face and a curvaceous figure.

“Anna!”

He once again found Anna in the parading crowd.

The first time he saw Anna in the procession was yesterday.

In the car, Buck heard George call out a name and looked out of the window as well. Then he asked, “Do you know that girl?”

Obviously, Buck had also noticed the unusual girl among the fleeing crowd.

“That’s my classmate, a student of Yale University!”

After George finished speaking, he locked his gaze on Buck.

“Buck, can we…”

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the small note from before. Then, he reached out to take the pen and paper from Buck’s hand and quickly wrote down what he wanted to say.

Soon, Buck received a note filled with words. On it were the words that George wanted to say.

[The girl’s name is Anna, and her mentor is also Professor Eugene. Can you save her and bring her to the car? I can vouch for her!]

After reading the note, Buck looked at George with a strange expression.

Then, under George’s expectant gaze, Buck took the pen and paper and wrote something on it.

While this was ongoing, George quickly turned his head to look out of the car window. A muscular policeman was about to catch up with Anna.

George looked at Buck again anxiously. He knew that Buck must be unwilling to save Anna and was most probably writing the reasons why he couldn’t save her now.

In a hurry, George once again snatched the pen and paper away from Buck who had not finished writing, and wrote a sentence at an extremely fast speed.

[I want Anna to become a member of the research group!]

George had written these words without thinking it through.

What he did not know now was that because of this single sentence that he wrote, the consequences would completely change the trajectory of his life.

When Buck saw the content of the note, he was obviously stunned.

Then, he reacted quickly and immediately ordered the driver to head in the direction where Anna was escaping.

When the car caught up with the policeman, Buck’s voice reverberated in the car, “Stop the car!”

Before the car had completely stopped, the car door was already opened.

Buck’s figure jumped out of the car and he stopped the policeman’s action just in time.

Seeing that he was suddenly stopped, the policeman was originally very angry and was about to draw his weapon.

However, the moment he saw the badge on the right side of the man’s chest, his action of drawing his gun slowed down, and he gave up on even more dangerous actions.

The policeman must have recognized Buck’s identity, or he would have used his weapon.

Buck didn’t say anything. He simply put a finger in front of his lips and made a gesture to stop the policeman from speaking.

“Anna!”

After the car stopped completely, George immediately jumped to the ground and shouted at Anna’s back.

This sound was very effective. Sure enough, Anna didn’t continue to run. She stopped and turned around to look behind her.

“Huff… Huff… George!”

The intense running just now caused Anna to gasp for breath as soon as she stopped.

Just as George was about to run towards Anna, Buck’s exclamation came from behind him, “George, don’t go over!”

“What?”

Initially, George didn’t understand why Buck would say that, but when he turned to look at Anna again, his eyes were immediately filled with fear..
