Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Whispers of Starfall
The Nevada desert glowed violet under moonlight as Lin Yun's boots crunched glass-like sand. Three days earlier, green auroras tore open the sky above Area 51—satellites showed a pyramid emerging from the "military restricted zone," its surface etched with pulsar-frequency equations.
"Radiation levels 500x over!" The warden's hologram flickered in Lin's hazmat helmet. "That thing's emitting neutrino bursts. Our power suppressors are—"

Pain revealed his DNA—alien base pairs entwined with human genes. The system bled warnings:
