Chapter 47 (1/2)

“Turn on the shielding system!” Gu Ding gave instructions to Neptune as he stared intently at the giant beasts approaching them.

The spaceship’s internal force field shield turned on immediately. Instantly, every single bit of air in the cabin was isolated from the outside.

In the beginning, this sort shield function was used to smuggle living things. When the shield was turned on, the security scanner in the starport would see an empty cargo hold and they could easily pass through. However, when the defense shield system slowly became commercialized, they were normally used to transport trade secret goods to avoid competitors knowing about them.

Therefore, most commercial ships had a defense shield system. Of course, the Federal Government subsequently made new regulations with regards to the new function. When spaceships passed the security in the starport, the shielding function must be turned off. Otherwise, any cargo found would be immediately detained.

Gu Ding and Liliath’s breathing were completely isolated from the outside world. However, they could see everything that was happening around them. The cabin section of the spaceship was roughly ten meters above the ground, so they had a good view of the area. Luxury cargo spacecraft were generally designed this way, with the cargo compartment below the passenger cabin.

As the giant beasts gradually approached, they looked left and right while their huge nostrils sniffed hard. After shaking and hitting the spacecraft for more than ten minutes, the giant beasts decided that there was nothing of interest and returned to their previous locations. Obviously, they were not allowed to leave their initial position for too long.

Gu Ding and Liliath finally let themselves breathe easy. Although they were able to beat the beast earlier, it would have been a hard task to beat multiple giant beasts. The beast that Liliath killed just now less than half the size of the giant beasts here. They were roughly 20 meters tall and had scale-like armor all over their bodies.

Moreover, if they made even a bit more sound, the other four giant beasts would have noticed and the two of them surely would have been dead men walking.

At that moment, the sky outside the window was finally dark.

“The defense shield system of the spaceship was turned on. Those guys that were so close by couldn’t even tell we were inside. This means it should be safe to hide here,” Gu Ding sat on the bed to the left.

The spaceship was not a luxury passenger spacecraft per se but more of a cargo spacecraft. The cabins were for the crew’s own use, and there were two beds in each cabin. Moreover, the two beds in this spacecraft were more upscaled, as most ships of this type had bunk beds that housed four people in each cabin. It was fortunate that this cabin was so spacious.

“I’ll go straight to bed after I wash up. My spirit will be fully restored by tomorrow morning. If there are no emergencies, try not to wake me up,” Liliath said and went to the lavatory.

In that single cabin, they had everything. Besides the lavatory, it even had a kitchen.

Gu Ding laid on a bed. The big plush mattress released all his pent-up lethargy all at once. He took off his shoes with his eyes closed and rolled over the blanket to wrap himself. Immediately, Gu Ding fell into a deep sleep.

A mere ten hours on that planet had exhausted Gu Ding greatly. He was constantly either running or fighting. When he was able to catch a quick nap near the volcano, he did it on hard rocks that caused him to have a bad sleep. The fact that he was finally allowed to relax caused him to fall asleep quickly.

About half an hour later, Liliath finally came out of the bathroom in a pajama dress. When she was that Gu Ding was fast asleep, she lightened her footsteps and sneakily crept up to her own bed. She was about to go to sleep but noticed Gu Ding’s left hand exposed outside the blanket. Suddenly, she thought of something and took a tube of medicine from the Inventory.

Neptune watched her every move, but after he realized it was a tube of medicine in her hand, he relaxed. The tube of medicine was the Cell Restorer she previously wanted to give Gu Ding.

Liliath crept beside Gu Ding and held up his wrist. She had no problem finding a vein and proceeded to inject the tube of Cell Restorer into him.

After putting the empty tube into the Inventory, Liliath slipped back into her bed.
