Big Discovery

With Lily's nose as a guide, Hao Ren finally found the first piece of the aircraft's wreckage.

It was a piece of bent metal and a non-descript ellipsoidal equipment bay. It was tangled together with many burnt cables and tubes, reeking of a burnt smell. While the wreckage had already cooled down after a night, it was clear that it had suffered quite a brutal explosion and immolation, which left the outer shell almost melted.

The five-to-six-meter long fragment had fallen between two massive trees, and the impact created a ten-meter-wide crater. The conditions of the trees around the crater were unusually different. The first one had been killed by the impact and extreme temperature, its trunk now snapped and the canopy a burnt-out husk. The other tree, however, still stood evergreen by the crater and its branches, as well as its leaves, looked like they had just sprouted.
