Across Ultra: Half Dream

"Captain, we're back. What happened?" Jujing asked in confusion.

Captain Iruma Hui frowned and said seriously, "Look, the space observation center suddenly lost contact for a while. Now they've restored contact, but the details are still unclear. I need you and Daigu to investigate what happened. And be careful."

"Yes!" Daiko and Horii answered in unison.

"Damn it! I haven't even had a bite of the cookies made by sister Wan and I already have another task. What a shame!" Horii complained.

"Okay, Horii, stop complaining for now. There's nothing we can do about it." Daigu comforted.

"Okay, let's go quickly then." Horii sighed helplessly.

"By the way, Sister Wan, we are leaving. Remember to save some for us!" Horii glanced at the fragrant cookies on the table reluctantly, then turned to Chloe and said.

"Okay, Brother Horii, I will definitely save it for you, don't worry~" Chloe agreed with a smile.

Watching Dagu Dijing set off, Chloe also found a reason to return to the dormitory, then turned back into a ball of light and quietly followed Dagu.

Just as Dagu was about to board the Victory Swallow No. 1, Chloe quickly appeared.

"Brother, I'm here, don't think about leaving me." Chloe said coquettishly, "I don't want to stay in the base, it's too boring." She blinked her big eyes, put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe slightly, and looked at Dagu expectantly.

Dagu was startled when he suddenly heard Chloe's voice, then smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Chloe's head, and comforted her: "Okay, why would brother abandon you? However, this mission is not easy, you may encounter danger."

Chloe waved her hand nonchalantly and said confidently, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me. I'm very capable and won't be a drag. Besides, I'm not afraid with you protecting me."

Dagu was amused by Chloe's words. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, since you insist, let's go together. But you must listen to my instructions."

Chloe jumped up happily, hugged Dagu's arm, and said happily: "Okay, thank you, brother. I will definitely be good and obedient."

Chloe transformed into a ball of light again, staying invisible on Daiko's shoulder. Then, she followed Daiko and Horii out of the base in the Victory Swallow No. 1 and flew towards the Space Observation Center.

They soon arrived at their destination. Dagu observed it carefully for a moment, frowning and saying, "I'm Dagu. So far, the Space Observation Center still hasn't responded."

Commander Munakata thought for a moment and said seriously, "It might be related to the meteorite that disappeared nearby a week ago. Be careful!"

"Got it! x2"

While everyone was discussing, Shinjo suddenly changed the subject and started teasing Horii: "Daiko, you should pay more attention to Horii. I heard that his girlfriend dumped him again recently."

Hearing this, Horii immediately roared in anger: "What do you care! You should worry about yourself first!"

Xin Cheng didn't care and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have a handsome face."

Horii retorted unconvincedly: "Huh, so what?! I have a smart brain! I tell you, just wait and see, I will definitely invent a fascinating medicine, and then winning the Nobel Prize will not be a problem!" After that, he hung up the phone angrily.

Everyone in the command room couldn't help but burst into laughter, especially Xincheng, who laughed the most wantonly: "Hahahaha... charming medicine, what a fool!"

Daiko, on the other side, looked at Horii with amusement and asked, "Are you really planning on developing a charming drug? Huh?"

Horii replied proudly, "For me, the word 'impossible' doesn't exist!"

"Wow!!" The plane shook, and Daiko and Horii were both frightened. They held on to the handles tightly, trying to steady themselves.

"Headquarters, this is Dagu, the plane is out of control!" Dagu shouted anxiously into the communicator. He tried hard to control the plane, but it seemed to be completely out of control.

At this moment, the plane suddenly lost control and plummeted to the ground. Daiko and Horii screamed in terror, watching themselves about to crash.

[Ah ...

However, when they opened their eyes, they found themselves unharmed but enveloped in a fog. They were bewildered and didn't know what had happened.

The two decided to leave here first, so they rode their motorcycles to the Space Observation Center. Along the way, they passed through the dense forest, their hearts filled with fear and curiosity about the unknown.

Finally, they arrived near the cosmic observation center. The scene here looked ancient and mysterious, surrounded by thick fog, making people feel as if they had entered a world isolated from the outside world.

"Brother, where is this? Why is there such thick fog? It looks so dangerous..." Chloe looked at the thick fog and huddled timidly in Dagu's arms.

"I'm not quite sure, something is a little off. So, we'd better be careful." Dagu frowned, feeling something was a little off.

At this moment, Horii's voice interrupted the conversation between the two. "What is this place?" Horii asked, looking around in confusion. "Hey! Daiko! How are you doing over there?!"

"There's no one here," Dagu ran over with a serious expression, "but every house looks like there were people there just now..."

"Could it be that everyone has gone down the mountain to dig sweet potatoes..." Horii also looked as if he was doubting his life.

"Eh!!"

Suddenly, the young lady in yellow clothes rushed out, all wet, muttering that the fog was coming, and then she fainted.

When she woke up, she was startled by Horii's big face. At this time, Horii saw the villagers coming back and went out to greet them.

"I'm sorry to break into your house without saying hello. Did you guys go digging sweet potatoes?" As he was talking, Horii felt something was wrong. He looked carefully and found that the villagers were holding weapons and their necks were tilted, looking scary. He quickly ran back to the house and closed the door.

"Dagu, close the door quickly!" Horii shouted anxiously.

"What happened?" Daigu looked at Horii in confusion.

But Horii didn't answer and continued to yell, "Don't ask yet! Close the door!"

The next moment, Dagu saw the villagers rushing over with all kinds of weapons. Dagu was so scared that he quickly closed the door and blocked it with his body. "What the hell happened?!"

"I don't know how it turned out like this!" Horii replied in panic.

However, blocking the door was of no use as it was soon broken open and the three of them had no choice but to run away.

After repelling the parasitic monster in the fog, the three found a cave to hide, and the young lady said that she also wanted to go to the space observation center.

"Brother, this was really dangerous. This thing is really disgusting." Chloe frowned and said with disgust.

"Yes, but Xiaoyi, do you know what this is?" Dagu looked at Chloe curiously, as if wanting to get some answers from her.

"I know. I remember a little bit. This is the alien parasitic life form Magnia. They live by absorbing the vitality of humans and use the lives of others to nourish themselves." Chloe said with disgust, as if she was full of disgust and aversion to this creature.

"So that's how it is. Do you know its weakness?" Dagu continued to ask, hoping to find a way to deal with this monster.

"It seems like I'm afraid of water..." Chloe tried hard to recall her previous memories, but because her memory was a little vague, she could only give a rough answer.

"Afraid of water?" Dagu looked puzzled. He had never heard of such a water-phobic monster. But then he said with relief, "Okay, a weakness makes it easy! Go to sleep, Xiaoyi." With that, Dagu lay down on the cave floor and fell asleep, leaving Chloe alone to think about what had just happened.

"Okay, good night bro," Chloe whispered, pressing against Dagu's chest before slowly closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Horii took the little sister up the mountain to look for the space observation center, and Dagu went down the mountain to contact the headquarters for support. On the way down the mountain, Dagu was attacked by a monster, but accidentally fell into the river and lay flat in the river in pain.

Chloe, who was standing by, saw that Dagu was injured, and quickly shot a healing ray, which immediately restored Dagu to normal.

"Brother, hurry up, Brother Horii is waiting for you to save him!" Chloe urged.

Dagu nodded and immediately ran down the mountain. He ran quickly along the rugged mountain road, his heart filled with worry for Horii's safety.

After a steep climb, Dagu finally reached the foot of the mountain, panting heavily, and saw Commander Zong Fang and Lina waiting anxiously.

When Commander Munakata saw Daigu, he hurried forward and said, "Team Daigu, what happened? Why are you here?"

Dagu gasped and replied, "Commander, we've discovered alien life forms in the mountains. They've parasitized the villagers there and are absorbing their life force for nourishment!"

Commander Munakata's expression grew serious. "This is no joke. What are you waiting for? Let's go find Horii! They might be in danger!"

Dagu and Lina looked at each other and answered in unison: "Yes! Command!" Then the two of them boarded the Victory Swallow together and flew towards the top of the mountain.

On the Victory Swallow, Dagu and Lina were extremely anxious. They knew that time was running out and they had to find Horii and the girl as soon as possible.

Dagu gripped the joystick tightly, his eyes fixed firmly on the front. He believed that he would be able to find Horii and Nori and save them from danger.

On the other side, Horii found the meteorite and the monster's lair, where the missing villagers had their energy sucked away.

The young lady revealed that she was attacked and escaped by jumping into the river. Horii realized that these monsters were afraid of water.
