This is a very unique experience. Yi Chen has flown in and out of living planets many times on ships, but this is the first time he has fallen straight down from outer space with a simple escape capsule like this.
The hatch cover of No. A's escape cabin was smooth and transparent, and everything outside could be seen at a glance. Except for the burning air, it was the desolate land that gradually enlarged and finally occupied the entire sight.
Because Yi Chen was lying head down, he always had a fear that he would fall from the No. A escape cabin to the ground of Arcturus below at any time, which lingered in his mind.
Seeing the desolate land getting closer and closer to me, the nagging insecurity in my heart left little by little, and was replaced by a down-to-earth sense of stability, which was reassuring.
"Wow, this feels great, but it's just so fucking hot!"
Seeing that Arcturus' ground was about to arrive, Yi Chen couldn't help but utter a curse word, because it was really hot in the escape cabin A, it was estimated to be fifty or sixty degrees. Unfortunately, there was no temperature monitoring system at all. Only God knows what the temperature was. .
When 2,000 meters away from the ground of Arcturus, there was a sudden explosion from the tail of escape cabin A, and then the entire escape cabin A suddenly stopped and its speed was greatly reduced.
Yi Chen felt that all the blood in his body rushed from the soles of his feet to his head. His face was red and his neck was thick, and he was extremely uncomfortable. There were stars in his eyes, and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, this extreme state only lasted for a moment. My eyes turned to the rear of the escape cabin A, and I saw a huge parachute opened with a crash, roughly slowing down the escape cabin A.
Yi Chen couldn't help but curse to himself: "Holy crap, is this what a level five civilized country wants to do? It actually slows down the escape capsule by spitting out a primitive parachute!"
Under the pull of the parachute, the speed of escape cabin A dropped very fast. When it reached 200 meters from the Arcturus ground, the speed had stabilized and the internal temperature returned to normal temperature. However, the parachute suddenly spontaneously ignited. Soon there was no residue left.
Yi Chen was shocked: "Damn it, didn't the sky full of gods and Buddhas that I prayed for a long time have any effect? At the last moment, I failed! At a height of 200 meters, I fell directly and didn't get smashed to pieces!"
While the parachute spontaneously ignited, the top of the No. A escape cabin (that is, the downward end) began to spray flames. It was actually using the rocket engine for final deceleration.
Yi Chen finally understood that he had just made a false alarm. At the same time, he realized that despite the seemingly backward technology of the No. A escape cabin, it was actually very advanced inside. It was the function that caused the parachute to spontaneously ignite. If it were not a level five civilized country, it would not be possible at all. There is no ability to do it.
After confirming that he could land safely, Yi Chen stopped paying attention to the escape cabin A and began to observe the surrounding environment of the place where he was about to land.
Just as Yichen had guessed earlier, Arcturus's natural environment is very harsh. Staring at the dry and cracked earth below, he discovered that it was a desolate riverbed with endless mountains on one side and undulating hills on the other. No matter which side you look at in the hills and deserts, you can't see a single green plant. There are only some yellow lichens and unknown light brown plants scattered everywhere.
"Pfft!" With a soft sound, the No. A escape cabin landed on a cracked river bed.
Yi Chen kept in mind what the heavily armed policeman said, and immediately pushed open the hatch and ran towards the distance. He didn't want to be blown into countless pieces.
"Oh, it hurts!" Yi Chen couldn't help but screamed as soon as he stepped onto the earth of Arcturus. When the No. A escape capsule landed from outer space, the internal high temperature generated still burned Yi Chen.
However, in the face of pain and life, Yi Chen chose life without hesitation, endured the severe pain and ran wildly, escaping about 50 meters away from a pit with a depth of about 1 meter, and jumped down decisively.
The severe pain prevented Yi Chen from running away and he could only hide in the pit for a while.
"Boom!" A dull explosion came from the direction of the No. A escape cabin, and then the manic shock wave swept away the small pieces of cracked soil on the river bed in all directions, breaking the unknown light brown plants. , it sounds a bit like a bone breaking sound.
Soon after, Yi Chen, who was hiding in the pit, was covered with a layer of dust. He was secretly glad that he had escaped. Without this pit, even if he could survive the shock wave, he would still be dead. Seriously injured.
After everything calmed down, Yi Chen dusted himself off and lay on the edge of the pit to peek in the direction of escape cabin A.
The small mushroom cloud formed by the explosion is slowly dissipating, and there is no trace of escape cabin A. It is as if escape cabin A has never existed.
Yi Chen murmured to himself: "Did it really explode into atoms? Nothing was left!" At the same time, he thought to himself in a daze: "The escape cabin A that brought me to Arcturus has disappeared. , I should also think about how to survive on this strange slave planet! Since being exiled to the slave planet is a punishment, my life in the future will definitely not be easy!"
Climbing out of the pit, after comparing the terrain on both sides of the river bed, Yi Chen thought twice about choosing the mountain side.
Judging from basic common sense of life, although mountainous areas are not the best choice, it is still easier to survive than the hills next to the desert. Not to mention other things, take fresh water, which is essential for the human body, as an example. The probability of finding fresh water in mountainous areas must be much higher than in hilly areas next to deserts.
Yi Chen had just approached the river bank on the side of the mountain when he suddenly heard the sound of a large number of animals running on the ground.
This sound is a bit like the sound of horse hooves, but it is much heavier than the sound of horse hooves. They should also be much larger than horses. Judging from the number of sound sources, there are thousands of them.
On a planet with harsh natural conditions like Arcturus, it is absolutely unusual for thousands of animals much larger than a horse to collectively act in unison. In addition, this place is a slave planet with backward technology, and it may be a violent group such as the army.
Yi Chen frowned. He was injured now, so it would be better to hide first. Looking around, the river bed was bare. There was no way to hide anyone among the withered lichen and light brown plants. The pit just now was not good either. Because standing on the river bank, you can clearly see everything in the pit.
"Hey, it seems we can't go to the other side of the mountains!"
Yi Chen had no choice but to give up his original plan and settle for the next best thing. He gritted his teeth and ran towards the hills and desert on the other side of the river bed. He was prepared to avoid those unknown large animals and took one step at a time.
Shortly after Yi Chen left, a group of dark blue four-legged animals much larger than horses carried an upright creature. They arrived at the place where the escape cabin A exploded at lightning speed. There were 3,000 of them. One animal was matched with one upright creature. Creature, typical cavalry style.
One of the leader-like upright creatures got off the dark blue four-legged animal and carefully inspected the place where escape cabin A exploded, but found nothing. He muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, could it be that those despicable Lavo people discovered our nursery and deliberately blasted it near the nursery to demonstrate against us?" As he spoke, he looked in the direction where Yi Chen was running.
This is an unusually tall creature, generally more than two meters tall, with two legs and four arms. It has no hair on its body, its skin is dark purple, its head is shaped a bit like a lizard, its irises are blood red, its pupils are as black as ink, and its eyeballs Their bodies are as white as ivory, and many features come together to make them look extremely fierce, especially the pair of fangs on the lower jaw, with sharp ends that curve to the front of the mouth, making people shudder.
Yi Chen ran away for a while, and after climbing over a hill, he came to the edge of the endless desert.
The geographical environment here is very unique. A huge desert is surrounded by countless hills. The hills are connected like a high wall, blocking the desert from continuing to expand.
The side of the hill where Yi Chen is located faces the desert. Many parts have been desertified. Maybe in hundreds of millions of years, this hill will become part of the desert.
Facing the vast desert, without any preparation, entering hastily will only lead to death. Yi Chen stopped and planned to hide here for a while to see the situation.
After a while, driven by curiosity, Yi Chen returned to the highest point of the hills and looked far into the distance towards the river bed.
Because the distance was too far, it was not possible to see clearly with the eyes alone, but Yi Chen still noticed the difference between the purple-skinned lizard people and himself from their outlines.
Seeing the purple-skinned lizard man riding a dark blue four-legged animal around the place where the No. A escape cabin exploded, Yi Chen secretly rejoiced: "It was such a close call. If I hadn't been able to hide quickly, I would have bumped into these purple-skinned lizards head-on." People, we still don’t know what unexpected situation will happen! Looking at those guys moving in an orderly manner, each of them holding weapons such as long spears and short knives, they must be the army!"
Thinking of the purple-skinned lizard people, Yi Chen was troubled. If they were the slave civilization on Arcturus, and their individual shapes were very different from his own, how could he survive here in the future?
After arriving in the alien world for more than half a year, Yi Chen has encountered all humanoid intelligent life forms. To put it bluntly, they are all humans the same as the people on Earth. This is actually easy to understand. After all, the people on earth are originally the ancient Chinese people in the alien world.
Yi Chen had never dealt with non-humanoid intelligent life, and instinctively believed that it would be difficult for both parties to get along with each other if their species were different.
These slaves on Arcturus have underground civilization and limited knowledge. They probably don't know that there are other forms of intelligent life outside of Arcturus. If they rashly saw an intelligent life like Yi Chen that was different from their own, they might treat Yi Chen as a monster and imprison him for study.
The more Yi Chen thought about it, the more confused he became, so he decided not to have contact with those purple-skinned lizard people until he could figure out the situation later.
