The Petrachelys did not recklessly land on the planet's surface. Instead, it circled the planet a few times to get a general idea of the planet's condition.
As seen at first glance, the planet was being propelled by a series of huge working medium engines. There were a total of more than 160 engine nozzles the size of mountains on its surface, but only a quarter of them were in operation. The planet was trailing a trail of plasma flame that was thousands of kilometers long, which made it look like a strange and huge comet in space, dazzling and exceptionally spectacular. But other than the huge and running engines, the rest of the planet was lifeless. There was no vegetation on the surface, all the oceans had frozen, and the land was covered with ice and snow that had not melted for many years. Ninety percent of the planet's surface was dark, and only some light could be seen around the giant engines, which was probably the light of the machines.
A word flashed in Hao Ren's mind: a wandering corpse.
The planet was like a wandering corpse in space. It was dead, but the engines were still faithfully carrying out the command to fly the planet into the distance.
"There are only traces of life on the surface of the planet. Low-level life, algae, or other single-celled organisms," the MDT's voice interrupted Hao Ren's thoughts. "No traces of large and advanced creatures found. Of course, they could be hiding underground. There is also a shield on the surface of the planet, which is built by the geomagnetic field itself. This is probably the reason why it escaped the solar explosion more than 10,000 years ago. "
"Is there anything threatening?" Vivian turned and asked.
The MDT's surface flashed as it communicated with the spacecraft's radar system. "… Not found yet."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Y 'lisabet, you stay on the spacecraft with Cat and Fish. The rest of you, follow me down to check out the situation. MDT, you don't have to follow. You're responsible for controlling the spacecraft in orbit. If we encounter any accidents, we'll rely on your space support. "
Ever since the crisis on Io, Hao Ren had learned his lesson. He realized that when he was exploring a strange planet, leaving a support platform in space always played a big role. If he did not have the support of the MDT in space, he would have been frozen in endless ice.
The MDT suddenly felt that it had a great responsibility. It shook its body proudly and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Y'lisabet pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She looked at the dumb cat, who was dozing off on the ground, and Lil Pea, who was dozing off on the dumb cat's head. She felt that her role was being neglected. "I'm only responsible for taking care of the kids and the cat? I'm also smart and brave, okay? "
Y 'zaks gently flicked his daughter's head and the little girl flew four or five meters away. "Listen to uncle and stay on the spaceship."
Y'lisabet ran back and said obediently, "Oh …"
Hao Ren was stunned. Although he knew that the children of demons were usually more rough than this, he still felt that it was a miracle that Y'lisabet could live so long. The little girl was really tough! Just now, when Y'zaks flicked her head, there was a sonic boom …
The spaceship found an open landing site at the equator of the wandering planet and hovered over it, sending everyone directly to the surface of the planet.
The surface of the planet was desolate. When Hao Ren and the rest walked out of the teleportation beam, all they saw was a vast snowfield, bare hills, and a dark night sky. Some towering shadows were vaguely visible in the distance, which was the thruster nozzles that were in a state of shutdown. Behind those shadows, there were some bright lights, which were the plasma flames of the working thrusters further away. They were the only landscape worth seeing on the planet.
It was very quiet. When they focused, they could only hear some strange, low roars coming from far away, and it was almost indiscernible. The sound should be coming from the giant thrusters in the distance, but because the atmosphere was too thin, the sound could hardly travel far. Even with the superhuman senses of Hao Ren, they could only vaguely hear a little. In fact, the atmosphere of the planet was still there, but because of the ultra-low temperature, most of the gas had frozen on the surface of the planet. Hao Ren was stepping on solid fragments of carbon dioxide ice and many other gases.
Before landing, the spaceship had scanned the environment below, so except for the two special guys, Hao Ren and Y 'zaks, everyone else was wearing life-support collars. Lily stomped her feet on the ground, raising a cloud of greyish-white ice dust. "It doesn't look like anyone has been here."
Nangong Wuyue looked at the dark land in the distance, unable to hide the worry on her face. Next to her, Nangong Sanba also pinched his chin and frowned. Vivian glanced at them. She knew that the two were in a state of anxiety, and it was easy for them to think in a pessimistic direction. She reminded them, "Can the sirens and demon hunters survive in this environment? How long can they survive? "
Only then did Nangong Wuyue realised that there was a chance that her parents could survive on this planet. She carefully took off the life-support collar and felt it. Her brows furrowed slightly. "It's … uncomfortable, but not fatal. As long as I can find an environment with liquid water, I can survive for a long time, relying on heat and the elemental power in the water to sustain my life. And this planet has a magnetic shield, so we don't have to worry about radiation from space. At least Mother can survive in this environment. "
"A hundred years?" Lily asked.
Nangong Wuyue frowned. "… Theoretically, sirens can survive as long as there is water. But here … maybe Mother will choose to freeze herself periodically, so that she can survive the hundred-year journey in space. At most, she will lose some memory and power. Sirens are like water, and we can also change between three states like water. Sometimes, when we encounter extreme conditions, we can use the three states to survive. "
Lily was amazed by the ability of the sirens. She thought of the scene of Nangong Wuyue melting and evaporating according to the season. She suddenly felt that the scene was magical, like a horror movie.
Nangong Sanba also scratched his chin and thought for a moment. "My father is not a very strong demon hunter, so it will be difficult for him to survive on this planet. But with my mother's help, it is possible to survive for more than a hundred years. Demon hunters have many life-saving skills in extreme conditions. "
"Anyway, if they survive to this planet, they will definitely go in that direction —" Y 'zaks raised his finger and pointed into the distance. In the direction where he pointed, there were several huge flames rising from the horizon. "Thrusters. That is the only warm place on the whole planet. If you want to find liquid water, you have to go there. "
Hao Ren immediately took out his official car from the Dimensional Pocket. "Everyone, get in. Let's go to the thrusters."
The little North Stars sped across the endless snowfield of this wandering planet, rolling up a lot of eye-catching snow along the way. From a distance, it looked like a group of white monsters galloping on the ground. Hao Ren did not directly teleport or fly to the metal mountains. He wanted to observe the surrounding environment on the way. He was very interested in this planet.
Most of the scenery on the way was very monotonous, only endless white and gray wilderness. But as they approached the giant thrusters, something strange began to appear. Huge, pitch-black pipes and steel supports gradually rose from the snow as if they were growing out from the depths of the earth. Like vines hugging fruits, or like thousands of tree roots supporting a giant tree, they gathered towards the thrusters. The size of these pipes and scaffolding was amazing. The way they rose from the ground even reminded people of the roots of the First Born. They spread on the ground, looking strange and lonely under the starlight.
The car drove silently under a huge steel scaffolding. Lily poked her head out of the window and looked at the depressing black shadows flying over her head. As a young literary girl, she suddenly felt sad.
These things were still working — but where were their creators?
