After waiting for nearly half an hour, Buck finally showed signs of waking up.

His arm began to move, and the female agent by Buck’s side spoke to George who was sitting on the sofa, “He’s about to wake up!”

“Phew.”

George felt that he had heard the most wonderful sound of the day. He exhaled and left the sofa.

He came to Buck’s bedside. George had a lot of questions that he needed Buck to answer.

Just as he was thinking about how he should phrase his questions, the female agent suddenly made a very dangerous move.

She drew a pistol from her side at an extremely fast speed and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

“Bang, bang!”

With the two gunshots, George’s muscles tensed up and he reflexively dodged.

“What, what are you doing?!”

What frightened George was that the female agent had suddenly pulled out her gun and fired without warning.

She was aiming at the French window!

Not long after, George’s tensed nerves finally relaxed and he turned to look out of the window.

The large French window was now covered with spider-web-like cracks.

However, the glass did not shatter. It was obviously high-strength Plexiglas, though it wasn’t bulletproof.

There were two bullet holes in the glass.

At this moment, it was dark outside the window. Other than the lights from the tall buildings in the distance, there was nothing abnormal.

George did not understand why the female agent suddenly fired. Could it be that she had seen something just now?

“What did you see?”

The female agent maintained a vigilant posture and did not answer George’s question.

At this time, Buck, who was lying on the hospital bed, had already woken up. There had been two gunshots in the room. If that was not enough to wake him up, he may never wake up.

“Camilla, what’s wrong?”

Buck’s tone was still very weak, but it was much better than when he spoke to George on the phone previously.

The female agent Camilla still maintained a vigilant posture, but this time she answered Buck.

“Just as you were about to wake up, a figure appeared outside the window. I think my bullets should have hit the other party’s body.”

“What? A figure appeared outside the window? This is the 23rd floor, who could climb up to such a high place?”

When George heard Camilla mention the reason for her shooting, he immediately voiced his doubts. However, on second thought, he felt that what he said just now was a little rash.

After all, one didn’t necessarily have to climb up. One could achieve such an action just by using a sling from the top of the building.

However, George also thought of another possibility: could it be Anna?!

When this thought first appeared, he initially felt that it was a little unbelievable.

“I think it might be the monster that attacked me earlier…”

Buck finally gave a sure answer because this was the only one reason that could explain the figure that Camilla saw earlier.

When George looked at Camilla again, she had already taken out a small communicator and was talking into it.

“Three minutes ago, the ward where Captain was in was attacked by an unknown creature. Go and retrieve the hospital’s surveillance camera now. Bring it up when you find it.”

George ignored Camilla and went to Buck’s bedside.

“Buck, how’s your mental state now? Can you answer my questions?”

Buck made a gesture to indicate no problem, then signaled with his eyes for George wanted to fire away.

“Wait a minute, Captain is not in a suitable condition to answer your questions now!”

“You!”

George abruptly turned to look at Camilla. He was very uncomfortable with the commanding tone of the female agent.

However, he had no right to refute her words. After all, a special agent was not someone he could order around.

The two sides entered a confrontation. About 10 minutes later, the door of the ward was opened, and agents in the same uniform walked in.

George saw that they were holding a video system. It was probably the surveillance record that the female agent had requested them to bring.

Soon, the few agents installed the surveillance system in the ward. One of them inserted a memory card into the port.

They retrieved the surveillance footage on Buck’s ward. They probably wanted to see what creature was out the window through the surveillance footage.

Curious, George walked to the front of the screen. He was also very interested in the figure that appeared outside the window.

“Could it really be Anna?” As he waited for the screen to light up, he guessed to himself.

The pitch-black screen lit up, and the surveillance interface with nine squares appeared.

Camilla immediately gave the order, “Find the surveillance camera in Captain’s room, quickly!”

The agent controlling the machine very skillfully found the screen marked 2319.

23rd floor, ward 19. This was the ward Buck was in.

George’s eyes were fixed on the screen, full of anticipation and fear.

He was very curious about what had just appeared outside the window, but he was also afraid that if it really was Anna, then the entire special agent organization would focus on capturing her.

A hospital bed appeared on the screen, and Buck was sleeping soundly on it. Beside him was the agent Camilla.

George was sitting alone on the sofa, looking like he was deep in thought.

“The rest is not important. Magnify the screen to focus on the French window!”

After Camilla gave the order, the screen quickly showed only the huge French window.

George saw Camilla look down at her watch, then told her companion to fast-forward the time of the surveillance recording to 47 minutes.

At that time, Buck was just about to wake up.

The people around the screen all focused their attention on the outside of the French window in the video.

The time in the upper left corner of the screen was slowly ticking.

When the video was played to 49 minutes and 12 seconds, Camilla was the first to notice that the figure had appeared.

“Start from here, frame by frame!”

After hearing Camilla’s words, George felt his palms start to sweat.

He stared at the screen without blinking, afraid that he might miss something.

In the next moment, where it was close to the edge of the French window, a shadow that looked like an arm appeared on the screen.

The reflection of the glass made it impossible for everyone to see if it was a human arm.

As the video played frame by frame, the figure outside the window grew larger and larger.

However, everyone also had a strange discovery.

The thing that looked like an arm had appeared on the screen for some time, but it seemed like there was still a long segment of it that was not displayed on the monitor.

“What the hell is this thing! How can it have such long limbs!”

When George heard one of the agents voice everyone’s doubts, he recalled the demo video he had watched in the alien chat group.

He remembered clearly that the Mocalians had long limbs.

At this time, Camilla seemed to be a little impatient. She asked the agent to speed up the surveillance.

“Speed it up, I want to see the monster’s face first!”
