Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist
Chapter 28 Interstellar Exploration 13
Wang Feng said awkwardly, "Alice, I'm sorry! It's my own fault. The situation was urgent at the time, and I ended up on their spaceship without thinking. Later, we encountered many unexpected situations, and we were unable to communicate with you due to magnetic field interference along the way."
Alice facepalmed, saying incredulously, "Wang Feng, you can even mistake your own spaceship?"
Wang Feng scratched his head helplessly: "I'm really sorry for causing everyone to misunderstand and worry."
Although Alice was still a little angry, she had to admit that she had misunderstood this time.
“Then let’s continue our individual explorations without interfering with each other,” Zhang Wei said.
The two groups dispersed.
Back at the encampment, Shen Ying quietly said to Zhang Wei, "Alice has such a temper, but thankfully the matter was resolved."
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Never mind them, let's study today's discovery first."
The expedition continued exploring the ancient buildings.
However, on the last day of the game, Shen Ying was following behind Zhang Wei and the others absentmindedly when suddenly, she stepped on something and her body swayed and pressed against a part of the wall, her palm sinking into the ground with a click.
Everyone heard the noise and immediately became alert. Zhang Wei quickly pulled Shen Ying to his side to protect her.
The duller clicking sound continued, and the previously closed wall revealed a small crack, then slowly moved. With this movement, the thick layer of dust accumulated on the wall fell off, and some small pieces of stone also fell from the ceiling. Zhang Wei quickly grabbed Shen Ying and hugged her tightly, protecting her head with both hands.
A hidden, mysterious space slowly unfolded before everyone's eyes.
"Where is this place?" Tom asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.
Once the door was fully opened, everyone held their breath and cautiously entered. In the center of the room stood an enormous metal box. In the dim light, the box emitted a mysterious and cold luster. Its surface was covered with dense, intricate patterns, resembling ancient and mysterious runes, or a meticulously woven spiderweb. Surprisingly, wisps of blue light, like nimble snakes, meandered and flickered within the patterns, adding to the box's eerie atmosphere.
"Could this be the legendary treasure?" Cruise asked with shining eyes, full of anticipation.
"What's inside?" Shen Ying was deeply shocked the moment she saw the metal box. It felt completely out of place with the civilization of this planet. Everything they had seen along the way—the ancient, weathered buildings, the rusty, dilapidated vehicles—was marked by the ravages of time. Yet this thing was brand new! Not a speck of dust touched it; it looked as if it had just been carefully placed there, standing out so abruptly and mysteriously in this environment of antiquity and age.
"what is this?"
The voice of the newcomer drew everyone's attention. It was Alice and her group, standing at the doorway, their expressions mirroring the others': shock, amazement, confusion, curiosity...
Alice and her group were exploring a three-story old building nearby when they suddenly heard the commotion and came to investigate. They were surprised to find this scene, and Zhang Wei and his group were also there.
The mysterious, enormous metal box instantly piqued their interest, and a group of people followed it inside, their faces beaming with excitement.
Alice's eyes widened, her face full of curiosity: "What is this?" Her voice sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet space.
Jack frowned unhappily and said, "Don't move it. We don't know if this thing is dangerous."
However, Alice's team ignored him and instead rushed in, surrounding the box with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.
Some people couldn't resist reaching out to touch the blue light, but Cruise stopped them in time: "Don't mess around, it'll be troublesome if you trigger some mechanism."
Shen Ying said softly, "This box gives off a creepy feeling, like it has an ominous aura."
Zhang Wei heard her muttering softly, and subtly moved forward to block her path.
Just as everyone was discussing it, the light from the box suddenly became stronger, illuminating the entire space.
Everyone was startled by this sudden change and retreated.
"What's going on?" someone exclaimed.
In the light, the box vibrated slightly, emitting a buzzing sound, and then slowly opened...
As the light gradually faded, the box slowly opened, releasing an invisible energy surge. Everyone took a few steps back before looking closely. Inside the box was a crystal ball radiating brilliant light, surrounded by strange symbols and lines, silently floating within.
Alice's heart pounded. She couldn't help but move closer, wanting to see it more clearly, but Wang Feng quickly reached out to stop her: "No!"
However, it was too late; Alice's hand had already touched the crystal ball. Instantly, the crystal ball shone brightly, enveloping Alice completely. Her body began to tremble, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
"Alice!" her teammates exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
Zhang Wei made a quick decision: "Everyone, help pull her out!"
Everyone rushed forward and tried to pull Alice away, but a powerful force seemed to be stopping them, making their efforts extremely difficult.
The group struggled against the unseen force. Cold sweat beaded on Alice's forehead, and the color drained from her face. Suddenly, Zhang Wei slashed at the crystal ball with his sword. The crystal ball's light dimmed, and the force dissipated. Alice was out of danger at that moment.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the entire space suddenly began to shake violently, cracks appeared in the walls, and stones kept falling from above.
"This place is going to collapse, get out of here!" Zhang Wei turned around, picked up Shen Ying, and ran towards the exit.
The others hurriedly picked up the unconscious Alice and ran towards the exit.
Behind them, the mysterious box and crystal ball were gradually buried in the ruins...
The group ran desperately through the swaying passage, their ears filled with the crashing sounds of falling stones and the deafening roar of collapsing walls.
Zhang Wei carried Shen Ying, his steps firm and swift, his eyes fixed on the light of the exit ahead, constantly avoiding falling rocks and obstructions.
Tom shouted from behind, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" His face was full of fear and anxiety.
Cruise tripped over a rock, and his teammates quickly helped him up so they could continue running forward.
Nestled in Zhang Wei's arms, Shen Ying nervously surveyed her surroundings, loudly warning, "There's a big pit on the left!"
Zhang Wei nimbly turned to the right and continued charging forward.
The group ran desperately through the swaying passage, their ears filled with the crashing sounds of falling stones and the deafening roar of collapsing walls.
The exit was getting closer, but the collapse of the passage was also getting worse. A huge slab of stone crashed down from above, blocking the way for some people.
"Oh no!" everyone exclaimed.
Zhang Wei quickly put Shen Ying down, drew his powerful pulse sword, its blade gleaming with dazzling light. With a forceful swing, a powerful pulse of energy erupted, instantly turning the stone slab to ashes.
"Hurry up!" Zhang Wei shouted.
