Chapter 142 Brother Gu, where are you?
"Wow, Brother Lu is amazing!" Zhong Qiang sometimes watches American blockbusters. Humanity's goal has always been the stars and the sea, so this kind of movie is something every male student can't escape. This interstellar warship in front of them is simply dazzling.
"Xiao Yuan, don't rush to get down. See if you'll still be cold after you take off your mech inside." While everyone was amazed by this amazing warship, at least there was someone who understood. Gu Nanfeng thought that Lu Yuan had finally managed to get on, and he didn't want him to be unable to get back on later. It was better to solve the practical problem first.
"Okay, Brother Gu." After saying that, Lu Yuan pulled his head back. Everyone on the ship looked up. The moment his head went back, the round, hatch-like thing disappeared, as if it had been closed.
"Let's not just wait here. Why don't we go inside and have some hot pot?" Lin Yun glanced back at the table full of hot pots in the cabin. He had only turned the fire down when he came out, but now, looking back, it looked like the pots were about to freeze.
The temperature is so low that they could still enjoy a hot pot meal at the base, but now that they're at sea, with only Lu Yuan's relatively ordinary yacht and the fire getting a little too small, the hot pot would freeze. So Yang Xiao had to give up his favorite beef tallow hot pot.
"That's right, otherwise my hot pot would freeze into a solid lump." Yang Xiao said as he ran into the cabin.
The group returned to the cabin and, using the heaters that Lu Yuan had prepared when he boarded, quickly warmed up the cabin. As the cabin warmed up, the hot pot gradually began to boil.
Unlike the ten people happily enjoying hot pot in the cabin, Lu Yuan on the warship was completely in complete darkness—truly pitch black. The moment he straightened up, the round hole beneath his feet vanished, along with the already dim light.
For a moment, Lu Yuan didn't know what to do. Should he go forward or backward? To be precise, he couldn't even tell which way was up, which way was down, which way was up, which way was down.
"We're doomed." Lu Yuan sighed, and was about to roll on the floor and yell in frustration when suddenly lights began to flash inside the warship, stretching from Lu Yuan's feet all the way to an endless distance.
"Holy crap, how big is this place?" Looking ahead, Lu Yuan felt like he was walking into the gaping maw of a monster with fluorescent dark green fangs, because the lights under his feet were a dim, dark green. He could only keep walking in.
"Hello, is anyone there? The kind who's alive!" Lu Yuan took a couple of steps, but the sound of his own footsteps was too eerie. He could only make small talk. After all, if there were any people on this starship, they should have died long ago, according to the principle that space cannot store living beings. Or maybe the living people here aren't human?
"Don't scare me! Is there anything here or not?" Startled by his own wild imagination, Lu Yuan instinctively took two steps back, but then he thought that there couldn't be anything more disgusting than a zombie. Suppressing the Chinese horror elements that kept popping into his head, he decided to continue walking in.
"One, two, three, four..." To relax a little and not scare himself, Lu Yuan started counting his steps. After walking about eighty steps, he saw dark green lights forming two arched shapes like doors on the left and right. He tried to push on both sides, but neither door responded.
"No way, it's fake?" Lu Yuan patted the wall, which felt like a steel plate, and continued walking forward. However, because he had been interrupted, he had forgotten how many he had counted before, so he simply started counting again from the beginning, "One, two, three, four..."
After walking another two hundred steps, the darkness finally lifted from his vision. He saw a dome that resembled a starry sky, and below it were two chairs that looked like giant gaming chairs. In front of the two chairs was a circular control panel. Above the control panel was complete darkness, but Lu Yuan guessed that this area was either a screen or a glass structure like an airplane cockpit.
He walked down the spiral staircase on the left, and as soon as he approached the chair, the darkness in front of him disappeared, revealing an endless sea. The sea breeze stirred the waves, just like he had seen on the deck.
"Welcome back, Dr. Lu." A familiar voice rang out in the control room as Lu Yuan was lost in thought. "It's been a long time since you've been back. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lu Yuan was already surprised to hear the voice, but the increasingly service-like tone only added to his shock. "Brother Gu, where are you? How did you get up here? Don't joke with me!"
As Lu Yuan asked, he turned around the unfamiliar control room 360 degrees, but he still didn't see Gu Nanfeng or anyone else.
"Dr. Lu, we have detected excessive bacteria in your mecha. We will soon perform a deep disinfection and cleaning of your mecha." Just as Lu Yuan was about to run back to where he first came in and try to find a way back, he felt his exoskeleton suddenly light up. In the past twenty days, except for the time he used this mecha to hover in the air, it had been like it was in "energy-saving mode". But now it was completely lit up and scanned up and down for a long time.
Lu Yuan was worried that something might happen to his mecha, such as it suddenly self-destructing, so he dared not move an inch. Then, the mecha he was wearing was suddenly ripped off by mechanical arms that appeared from all directions.
"Oh no, oh no, I'm really going to die!" Lu Yuan was still worried that his blood would freeze instantly, but he found that after the mecha left him, he didn't feel cold at all. Sure enough, the starship was made of the same material as the mecha, which allowed him to take off the mecha.
The removed mech was taken to the left side of the control room by the robotic arm. Suddenly, a narrow door appeared there. The door opened, and the exoskeleton mech was sucked in as if by a magnet, standing neatly inside like a robot. Then the door closed and it disappeared.
"Hey, my mecha!" This was Lu Yuan's life-saving artifact, but he watched helplessly as it disappeared before his eyes.
"Dr. Lu, it has been 110 days since we last met. Surprisingly, your physical condition has deteriorated drastically, by more than 80%..." The voice of "Gu Nanfeng," who seemed to be hiding somewhere, rang out again. Lu Yuan was about to explode. Gu Nanfeng was clearly the doctor, while he was just an undergraduate student. Gu Nanfeng's voice and tone were truly terrifying to Lu Yuan.
