Hao Ren was startled by the strange thing that suddenly appeared in front of him. He dashed a few meters away. He believed that his instantaneous speed could make him appear several times in the major water events of the Olympic Games. When he was a safe distance away, he had time to take a good look at what it was: it was a corpse.
Obviously, it was not the corpse of an earthling or any other typical human. This corpse was only about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, and it was wearing a thick, sturdy uniform. The exposed skin was dark green, but it was unknown whether it was soaked like this or it was like this from the beginning. This strange alien had a large cylindrical head. It had no nose or ears, but its eyes and mouth were large, and there was no hair on its head. It was also roughly humanoid, but it was obviously different from a human. According to Raven 12345, it should be a native race that was relatively far away from the 'information disturbance of God'. Tam's eyes were wide open, floating quietly in the red lake. He drifted to Hao Ren because of the opening of the sluice gate. He should be one of the crew members of the wrecked spaceship.
Perhaps the water of the Blood Lake had a special power or the alien's body structure, but the crew member had not rotted after being soaked in the water for two months. Hao Ren endured the awkwardness and carefully moved closer. He found a line of text on the back of the crew member's overalls. After retrieving the translation database, the line of text was successfully parsed: "Arcturus 4, warehouse employee."
"This is indeed a warehouse, but this spaceship should not be a cargo ship," the MDT floated up and down in the water. "There is no space expansion device, and the size of the spaceship itself is very small. It is probably just an ordinary small passenger ship or a functional civilian ship."
"Can you determine its origin?" Hao Ren frowned. "It is definitely not from The Plane of Dreams."
"We need more information. Not all civilian ships are registered," the MDT floated and sounded very serious. "This matter must be treated seriously. This spaceship should be from the Surface World."
"The Surface World?!" Hao Ren was shocked. "Such a big thing … fell from the Surface World to The Plane of Dreams?"
"Judging from the spaceship's frame, it is 90% possible."
Hao Ren suddenly remembered something. "Didn't you say that it is difficult to enter The Plane of Dreams from the Surface World? Because of the one-way transmission and whatnot, we need to use the dormant cabin as a guide when we come in, otherwise it will destroy the balance … "
The MDT's light flickered, indicating the urgency of the situation. "This is where the problem is serious. Theoretically, things from the Surface World would not easily enter The Plane of Dreams. A weak human being coming into contact with The Plane of Dreams is already a rare occurrence. But now, a spaceship has crashed in. This will cause a huge impact on the balance, or worse..."
The MDT turned and floated deeper into the cabin. Hao Ren chased after it and asked, "What's worse?"
"Or the balance has begun to fail."
They passed through the messy cargo hold and followed a half-collapsed passage to the control room in the center of the spaceship. Lil Pea was like a restless little fish, swimming around Hao Ren. The little one would often dive into the narrow holes and cracks, and then come out from another crack not far away. At first, they would nervously chase after the little one to prevent her from getting into trouble, but soon they found that most of the structure of the spaceship had stabilized. The little mermaid's talent in the water made her more agile than most of them, so they did not care anymore. Every time, Nangong Wuyue would just yell at Lil Pea to not run around.
After Lil Pea dived into a wide triangular crack at the side of the corridor, Hao Ren suddenly heard the little one scream. "Haa!"
He rushed over to check on the situation, and saw the little one swimming out with a strange oval-shaped 'plastic' piece in her arms. "Haa!"
The 'plastic' piece turned out to be a portable device. It seemed to be able to work in extreme environments. When Hao Ren took it, he found that it was still glowing faintly. A line of text appeared on the oval screen. "Arcturus No.4, a message from the technician. The spaceship has been involved in a strange space turbulence. All components have stopped working. A part of the hull is seriously damaged. Gas is leaking. Emergency quarantine is in vain. Abandoning ship has failed. Prepare for death. Record the characteristics of the space turbulence below. Hope it will come in handy when the rescuers arrive. "
"Where did you find it?" Hao Ren looked at Lil Pea. The little one immediately tugged at his sleeve and swam towards the triangular crack. The triangular crack was relatively wide, allowing an adult to go in and out — except Y 'zaks.
Hao Ren and Vivian swam in, leaving the others to wait outside. After entering, the two found that there was a small cabin behind. It was not supposed to be connected to the corridor outside. It was only exposed when the corridor wall broke. The cabin was full of fallen equipment and broken pipes. And on the floor in the middle of the room, there was a creature that was even stranger than the little green man.
It looked like a giant arthropod, a bit like a short-limbed praying mantis. It had four strong arthropod legs on its lower body, and its upright upper body was relatively slender. It also had two pairs of forelimbs with different shapes. One pair of forelimbs was thick and strong, seemingly used for fighting or carrying heavy objects. The other pair of forelimbs was slender and complex, seemingly used for delicate work. The creature had a triangular head, and two rows of purple spots could be seen beside its large compound eyes.
It looked like an oversized insect, as if it had walked out of a horror movie. But the equipment it carried and the 'clothes' on its upper body with a staff badge and words proved that it was not an alien that had invaded the spaceship. It was the original crew of the spaceship.
Vivian was surprised. "The world is full of strange things. Its blood must not be eaten."
"Fortunately, the place where the otherworldlings had transmigrated to was Earth. If they had landed on an alien planet, the demon hunters would not have been able to do anything. At least the vampires would have starved to death."
Vivian shook her head. "And a bunch of Hollywood people would have starved to death."
"This is the Toberu Insectoid," the MDT came up to take a look. "A highly intelligent race closely related to the Empire. They are also good at psionic technology. They are distributed in many worlds. This Insectoid must have been hired as a scientific consultant on the spaceship. Now we can confirm that the spaceship is from the Surface World. "
The oval device that Lil Pea found earlier should be the MDT of the Toberu Insectoid. It stored important spacecraft crash records. Hao Ren carefully kept it in his Dimensional Pocket, ready to show it to Raven 12345.
Just then, Y 'zaks voice suddenly came from outside. "Mr. Landlord, come out quickly. There's movement outside!"
Hao Ren quickly pulled Vivian's hand back into the corridor. They saw Y 'zaks and Lily facing the end of the corridor with a serious face. Nangong Wuyue had also transformed into her sea serpent form and wrapped herself in her long tail to increase her sense of security. From the end of the corridor, a sound of metal scraping was approaching.
Vivian immediately got ready for battle. "What's that?!"
Y 'zaks shook his head. "I don't know. Lily found it first. It's not a living thing. I didn't notice it at first."
Lily was at the front. Her body was bent over the floor, her claws scratching the metal floor restlessly. Her legs kicked back and she looked up at the end of the corridor and let out a threatening growl. Just as she was about to rush out, a huge mechanical limb suddenly came out from the corner of the corridor!
A huge, alloy monster that looked like a sea urchin appeared in front of them. Its entire body was covered with creepy mechanical limbs. At the end of each limb was an ominous red light. The mechanical body seemed to think that Hao Ren and the rest were intruders in the spaceship. Either way, as soon as it appeared, it turned its three limbs towards them. The ends of the limbs glowed brightly.
Vivian reacted quickly. She had already charged up her power. She was one step ahead of them. "Lightning Dash …"
Ten minutes later, the group returned to the shore. This time, Lily really had an ion perm. Even the fur on her tail was curled. She was fluffy like a feather duster. She jumped up and down to fight Vivian. "You idiot! Idiot! The water conducts electricity! The corridor conducts electricity! Everything conducts electricity! I conduct electricity too! Your PE teacher used to be a malatang seller, right? "
Hao Ren was holding Lil Pea in his hands. He opened his mouth and puffed out a mouthful of black smoke. It was a busy day.
Lil Pea followed suit and puffed out a mouthful of black smoke. The little one was really healthy.
Y 'zaks turned to look at Nangong Wuyue who was not far away. "Siren sis, are you done?"
Nangong Wuyue was still in her sea snake form. Her tail was curled up like a ball of yarn. She was trying to untie herself. "It's numb. I can't untie it …"
Hao Ren continued to puff out black smoke with his daughter. It was a busy day …
(Let me tell you guys some good news. My computer is dead. When I came back to life, I found that half of the manuscript had exploded! I'm going to find a place to cry for a while. I'll try to keep up with the updates for the next few days … But, I can only rely on my memory to fill in the messy manuscripts in the middle. I'll at least update one chapter a day if I can't get it right.)
