A group of medical staff rushed down from the ambulance, pushing three stretchers, and hurriedly ran into the medical building.

At this moment, a voiceover came from the television screen.

"On the afternoon of January 6, Jinyinhua City Hospital received three special patients. They were found twenty kilometers south of the city at the foot of a mountain. By the time they were brought here, one man had already fallen into a deep coma..."

Lu Junjie's eyes lit up as soon as he heard what the voiceover was saying.

Wow, came in with a bang?

January 6, isn't that the day the giant appeared?

And twenty kilometers south of Jinyinhua City, isn't that the immortal mountain they've been keeping an eye on!?

In just that one sentence, he had already associated countless things.

The three injured individuals rushed over for emergency treatment were very likely rescued from the immortal mountain.

Then, as the plot unfolded, the camera switched to the interior of the hospital, showing a scene of doctors rescuing the patients.

This footage came from the real scene at the time, not a post-production shoot. The man being rescued was Xu Xing, who saved Liu Hai and Wang Zinan.

However, unlike what was portrayed outside, the place where Xu Xing was initially rescued was not Jinyinhua City Hospital, but the dedicated medical center of the Abnormality Department.

After the tense and thrilling rescue, the voiceover finally delivered the relieving news: the injured had exited the danger period.

At this point, Lu Junjie clearly felt that his wife's grip on his hand had loosened a bit.

However, as someone constantly delving into related topics, he noticed many more things.

In the rescue scenes, many shots were from outside the emergency room.

It seemed to be a hospital corridor, unusually clean and white, looking more like a top-notch research center than a hospital.

Yet, that wasn't the most important part.

What intrigued him the most was that the camera caught several figures in black clothing in the corridor.

They looked like relatives awaiting news about the patient being rescued, all craning their necks to see through the glass.

Though the camera panned by quickly, Lu Junjie still saw some details.

The attire of those dressed in black was extraordinarily peculiar.

It was like some unique combat suit, with even a weapon resembling a great sword strapped on their backs, marking them as no ordinary individuals.

"Who are these people... really...?"

Thoughtfulness flashed in Lu Junjie's eyes.

"In reality, there's no way anyone would dress like that, especially in such a solemn occasion... could it be...?"

Suddenly realizing something, his eyes widened in disbelief as he gazed at the television in front of him.

Meanwhile, the images on the TV continued to play, and a young, beautiful girl appeared before everyone.

As soon as the girl appeared, the audience recognized her identity, none other than the national goddess, Chu Xiaoxiao.

For a moment, people sitting in front of their TVs buzzed with excitement, not expecting to see the top starlet of the film industry here.

After appearing, Chu Xiaoxiao began to introduce herself.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Chu Xiaoxiao. This time, I've received a special assignment from the program crew to interview the survivors rescued from the immortal mountain three days ago!"

As she walked in front of the camera, the wind lifted her jet-black hair, and even though it was just a screen, it seemed like one could smell the fragrance.

Some old gentlemen watching via Starry Mobile's holographic projection couldn't help but stretch out their hands, wanting to touch Chu Xiaoxiao's image.

However, before their palms could get close, the smart system in the Starry Mobile detected their behavioral intent, instantly shutting off the image and issuing a warning.

If such behavior occurred again, their account and usage rights would be blocked.

This measure immediately made countless people cry out in anguish and curse the inhumane actions of the phone designers.

Meanwhile, at Lu Junjie's home, his wife also secretly pinched his thigh and gave him a dangerous look.

Lu Junjie immediately admitted defeat, sitting upright and starting to watch the content on the TV carefully.

Chu Xiaoxiao led the cameraman briskly into Jinyinhua City Hospital.

However, they were stopped by a few police officers in black, indicating that they could not interview the injured inside.

Having hit a wall, Chu Xiaoxiao and her team had to focus their attention on the two other young men.

These two young men were also among the injured sent over last night. They hadn't been severely injured, only fainted from fright, and had already been discharged and sent home.

Chu Xiaoxiao led the cameraman to inquire around and finally got the addresses of the two young men, visiting them first thing.

"Hello, I'm Chu Xiaoxiao from the Mystery Channel. I'd like to interview you about some things. Is that okay with you?"

In front of the camera was Liu Hai's slightly shy face.

He looked at the big sister in front of him with an excited and shy expression.

Obviously, he recognized Chu Xiaoxiao.

In Huaxia, probably no man wouldn't recognize such a national goddess.

Faced with the goddess's request, Liu Hai obviously had no reason to refuse, immediately expressing his willingness to do everything to assist them in completing the exploration.

At first, Chu Xiaoxiao inquired about some basic information concerning the immortal mountain.

The content was essentially some basic information, meant to give television audiences a rough idea of that place.

However, these questions of hers were evidently somewhat redundant.

Given the current situation, it seemed unlikely that there was anyone uninformed about such information.

But a goddess is a goddess; even if the information is already known, hearing her ask still makes people want to watch it again.

Then, the topic between both parties went deeper.

When Chu Xiaoxiao asked what exactly they saw back then, every person watching immediately perked up, afraid to miss any details.

"I went for an adventure. We're just folks who like Transcendent topics. After seeing the suddenly-appearing immortal mountain, we couldn't resist calling our friends and heading over..."

"I knew that place was sealed off, but we spent some money to find someone with an off-road vehicle to sneak us past the blockade, just to try our luck and see if we could find some kind of opportunity..."

At this point, Liu Hai's expression began to gradually turn pained.

"Sigh... We originally just wanted to find those Cultivators, and didn't expect to encounter such things... those monsters... they were terrifying... If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have gone..."

He seemed to recall something, his face darkening considerably.

Liu Hai's demeanor wasn't an act for the program but a genuine emotional outburst.

As a survivor who experienced that life-threatening situation, his realization indeed needed no embellishment.

Just the regret shown on his face was enough to move the television audience.

Chu Xiaoxiao lived up to expectations, asking the question everyone wanted to know.

"Did you say you encountered monsters? What exactly were they like, were they really the monsters everyone talks about online?"

As her words fell, Liu Hai, still mourning, promptly lifted his head.

Fear filled his eyes, as if through the camera lens, he once again saw the events that had transpired.

"They... they were indeed monsters... right before my eyes, they devoured my friend..."
