Chapter 1529 - After Civilization (1/2)

The Petrachelys was lying quietly on the surface of the primitive planet. Silently, some small things flew out of the opening on the spacecraft, glowing in faint blue light. They were like fireflies at night, circling the spaceship for two rounds, and then disappeared into the darkness of the jungle.
The probes sent back images on the hologram in the flight deck, showing the dense jungle and ruins in the wood. Nolan shrank to become only a few inches tall to conserve energy. She lay next to the holographic projector and pointed to the images. “I suggest that you take this route. It may be a little longer but easier. The important thing is that the forest is not dense and you can see the sky.”
“Exploring at night is not a good idea.” Nangong Sanba shook his head. “Do you guys not want to wait until dawn?”
“Night may be inconvenient for some, but it’s totally different for others,” Vivian said with her arms crossed and a confident smile. “My senses and combat power in the night are better than during the day. Doggie’s vision is also better at night than during the day. The night does not affect our mobility. The priority is for gathering intelligence, without which things will become more uncontrollable in the spacecraft. So, the sooner we explore, the better.”
It was a little tricky to say that Vivian was an Umbral Divine because of her unique bloodline, but her words still carried a lot of weight. Nangong Sanba acknowledged that and said no more. At this time, Hao Ren turned to Lily and said, “Do not run too fast while exploring outside. We all carry radios, but you could still get lost as this is a planet in a strange galaxy, no one could tell what dangers are out there.”
Lily wagged her tail and said, “Oh, Mr. Landlord, you are too garrulous. How could I get lost when I have such an excellent sense of smell? Have some confidence in my race, please.”
Hao Ren was worried only because he knew the husky race too well. Everyone knew how easy it was for Husky to be carried away by the excitement and going into a disappearing act.
“Everyone else stays on the spaceship.” Hao Ren turned to look at the others on the flight deck. “Y’zaks and Sanba, hold down the fort while we are away. Nolan had activated an emergency shield. So now, the spaceship has a basic shield unit, and together with her armor, this place is the strongest place and the only forward base on this planet. Do not leave the spaceship before we come back.”
“What if there is an emergency?” asked little Y’lisabet. “What if monsters are attacking the airborne regiment of justice?”
What the heck the little girl watched usually?
Hao Ren looked at the cute little demon, eyes twitching. The little demon was a spoiler. But when he thought of the idea of the great unity of Y’zaks, he kept his shirt on. After all, she could be deemed well-learned. “You could use the righteous Demonic Flare and tactical nuclear bomb to teach them to learn to be human…err, I mean monster. There are various weapons in the other garage, and the autonomous robots could act as emergency defense robots. You could use them if your papa’s Demonic Flare could not save the day. It is not difficult to operate them anyway. Nolan can handle that.”
“I still hope that the weapon system could go online as soon as possible,” said Nolan. “I do not demand too much; as long as two rows of the rapid-fire turret are operational, there is nothing we should be worried about.”
“I will count on you to take care of those onboard.” Hao Ren solemnly nodded to Nolan. “Keep in touch. Check in every 30 minutes. If all goes well, we will come back after checking the outer area of the ruins.”
“Bon Voyage.”
Hao Ren, Vivian, Lily, and Nangong Wuyue left the spacecraft. Vivian and Lily were nocturnal creatures. Nangong Wuyue was an elemental creature, whose sensory abilities were very different from ordinary people. Eye vision only accounted for one percent of her sensory abilities.
But the main reason for bringing her along was that Hao Ren needed a healer.
The night was not very cold on this planet, probably because of the primitive jungle and the milder climate zone. Even the air here was somewhat humid. The spacecraft crash-landed on a relatively open wasteland adjoining the forest, which faded and blended in with the low-hanging night sky in the distant. An alien planet, the crashed spaceship, and the impact crater with smoke billowing formed a peaceful and mysterious scene. Hao Ren climbed on top of boulder nearby, overlooking the below. He could not help but take a selfie.
