Chapter 1028 - The Destination of the Secret Flight (1/2)

Earth time, May 4th.

1In the vast space tens of millions of kilometers away from Earth, a spacecraft travelled at a constant speed.

In this spacecraft without any apparent trace of life, a young man lay inside. He wore a respirator and lay quietly in the hibernation chamber. His bodily functions seemed to have completely stopped. The entire hibernation chamber was attached to the cockpit. The inside of the glass was scattered with ice shards that just looked like an ice coffin.

The blue signal light flashed dim, accompanied by a quiet noise. The mist slowly floated out from the gaps on both sides of the hibernation chamber and was removed by the fan located inside. The top glass cover slowly opened, and the entire hibernation chamber was split into four steel shells that began to retract to the back.

“Hibernation has now ended…”

An electronic voice without any emotion rang in his ears. Liu Qingpeng opened his eyes, then moved his stiff limbs. Taking off the respirator, his stomach twitched abruptly. He bowed down and tried to vomit, but nothing came out except for his stomach acid.

In order to prevent the food in his stomach from damaging the internal stability of his body due to decay, he only ate nutrient supply for three days before the flight.

Holding the control in his hands, the feeling of coldness gradually faded. After a while, Liu Qingpeng recovered from the state of discomfort.

“I… am here?”

“I am connecting the navigator for you… please wait.” The electronic voice spoke again after it had confirmed the pilot’s heartbeat, and the green signal light flashed. Soon, a burst of static noise entered his ears and began to become more clear.

“This is the command center. Please respond after hearing this message.”

Liu Qingpeng adjusted his breathing. He pressed on the helmet and turned on the microphone. “Stingray A-1, received.”

Navigator: “I am very happy to hear your voice again. It seems that you are still alive… static…”

Liu Qingpeng smiled and moved his sore neck. “Can I take this as your blessing?”

“Of course.”

From the ground command center to his current position, even electromagnetic waves must take four to five minutes. However, with quantum entanglement communication technology, the distance of tens of millions of kilometers was eliminated. Although there was noise mixed in the communication, it was fairly clear.

Following the instructions of the navigator, he re-corrected the route and the Stingray began to slow down.

In his current position, he could observe unnatural black spots with optical instruments.

This discovery made him both excited and anxious. He was excited by his luck; no accidents had occurred on this flight of death. He was anxious because even the navigator couldn’t tell him what was waiting for him out there.

He glanced at the Gauss Rifle plugged on the right side of the cockpit. However, the rifle which cost one million XND didn’t give him an increased sense of security. He was even wondering if he encountered an alien with a laser gun, would this expensive “toy” come in handy?

“Move close to the UFO. If the other side attacks… static…”

The communication from the ground command center was abruptly interrupted. Liu Qingpeng frowned and restarted the communication device, but he still couldn’t receive any signal.

“Communication shielded?” he murmured while rubbing the safety in his hand. He examined the unnatural blackness of dozens of kilometers through the optical sight.
