Chapter 303 Dead Planet

The life of humans in this world is almost monopolized by large companies such as Weyland Corporation.

Most things in life are closely related to company.

Many colonial projects were also hosted by companies.

As a result, humans have opened up vast territories and included the star maps outside the solar system within their sphere of influence.

Through the window of the spacecraft, you can see the approaching red planet, which is one of the colonized planets.

Located on the frontier of the human star map.

However, as the spacecraft sent signals to the colony without receiving a response, a solemn atmosphere fell on the ship.

"As a mining planet, there should always be someone stationed here, but why is the signal sent back only a bunch of noise?"

A group of crew members who came here from the "Heaven Star" where the white giant was located on a strange spaceship were communicating with each other.

"Perhaps the environment on this planet is rather harsh... Get closer and take a look at the surface of the planet."

Under the captain's command, the spacecraft slowly approached the planet.

Until we got outside the atmosphere, we could see at a glance that there was no other active thing on the planet except natural phenomena.

It was dead silent.

"The life detector did not detect any living creatures on this planet." The crew member whispered.

"…"

After a moment of silence in the cabin, the captain said, "Send a flying vehicle to the surface and take a look at the situation."

"I'll go," Daniels volunteered.

Xiao also said: "I'll go too. I have a...bad feeling."

A crew member joked, "A woman like you who has walked through an alien city surrounded by black water has a bad feeling. Could it be that this planet was destroyed by the black water?"

"Haha, maybe."

A few crew members chatted for a while, and the atmosphere on the boat became better.

People including Daniels, Shaw and several other crew members put on protective clothing and entered the aircraft.

You Huan, who had returned from the original world, had originally planned to place some things on the ship to target the Black Water relatives.

But when he saw them start to move, he thought for a moment, then turned into a shadow and entered the aircraft before Xiao and others entered the aircraft.

Even compared to the main spacecraft, this is a very small aircraft.

But it has enough space for both humans and blackwater creatures that are more than three meters tall.

Hiding in the energy room, he listened to the noise of everyone entering the aircraft.

This aircraft is certainly not a strange spacecraft, but a human-made aircraft, and all the arrangements are familiar.

After arriving on the aircraft, a crew member exhaled and said:

"Hey, I feel much more relaxed now. Do you feel that there is always an indescribable discomfort when you are on 'that spaceship'?"

"So you guys have that feeling too?" Everyone started talking when they heard this.

Xiao said: "As the voyage time increases, I feel worse and worse about the spacecraft. If possible, we should change a spacecraft."

"Let's go see if there is anything we can harvest on this planet."

During the discussion, the aircraft started up and rushed out from the side passage of the spacecraft.

After distancing themselves from the spaceship, everyone subconsciously turned their heads and glanced at the spaceship.

You Huan also came to a place with glass and looked at the spaceship from the aircraft.

As the distance increased, its complete appearance came into view.

That huge body just hung quietly in the dark and deep universe.

At one end is the heavier cockpit section.

In the middle is a fairly long, slender structure that connects the head to a slightly smaller compartment at the tail.

Near the tail, there is a wing-like structure that spreads out to both sides.

A long vertical line and a short horizontal line near one end.

It looks like a huge cosmic cross.

As it stands so quietly in the universe, it seems like the tombstone of the universe, and it also seems to be foreshadowing some kind of suffering in the future.

You Huan stared at the spaceship for a long time, and suddenly he remembered something as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart.

Isn't this unique cross-like shape very similar to the "Event-Horizon" in the movie "The Event Horizon"? !

"The Event Horizon" is a science fiction horror movie. Unlike the Alien series, which is also a space horror movie, it tells a more bloody, bizarre and heavy story.

You Huan has not seen this movie, but has heard of it vaguely.

Therefore, the spacecraft was not recognized at first.

Is it a coincidence that a spacecraft that looks very similar to the Torn Horizon appears? Or does "Black Hole Surface" exist in this world?

One world may incorporate the settings of multiple movies. He had already experienced this example in the first world.

At the time it was Jurassic World and Anaconda, both monster movies that took place on the surface of the Earth.

But "Alien" and "The Surface" both involve the universe.

The latter, based on the setting of the movie, even involves other time and space outside of this universe.

If "Black Hole Surface" appeared here, then...

No, that's not right!

This is a world undergoing a "narrative transcendence" where the plot and setting of the film have been massively distorted.

We can no longer use movies to speculate on the setting of this world.

You Huan stared at the cross-shaped spaceship outside the window, and after thinking for a while, he looked away.

Whatever happens next, he is ready...

The aircraft finally passed through the clouds and saw the reddish land below.

"Look, that should be the mining factory!"

Everyone looked at the black buildings vaguely visible on the horizon and their spirits lifted.

The aircraft flew over quickly.

Land in the open space in front of the factory.

Everyone came out of the aircraft and looked at the silent factory in front of them, their expressions becoming solemn again.

This colony planet is rich in mineral resources, so a large number of mining and processing plants have been built. These factories should be operating at full capacity for mining.

Why is it so quiet?

Everyone looked at each other, took out their weapons and raised them in front of them, formed a defensive formation, and slowly moved forward.

However, they acted as if they were facing a great enemy, but there was no enemy here.

Walking through most of the factory area, they saw only mining and processing machines that were shut down.

The huge mine on the ground was open to the outside, but no machines were working.

There was not a single person to be seen, such as engineers, managers, or workers.

This is already a dead city.

"Shit!"

At this time, Xiao, who rarely swears, couldn't help but blurt out a swear word after seeing a certain scene.

Everyone also focused their attention on the building she saw.

That should be the office building of the planet's management, with a rough style made of steel and local bricks and stones.

At this time, part of the wall had been broken, as if it had been smashed by something, and most of the glass was also shattered.

There are still some black spots left on the wall.

——It was as if some black liquid had once flowed through here.

"…"

"Could it be that this planet was destroyed by black water?"

A joke that one of the crew members made before departure suddenly echoed in his mind.

The uneasy feeling in everyone's heart reached its peak.

Approaching the building in silence, the signal sent back by the detector confirmed that this was the remnant of black water.

"How is it possible...this place, how could there be black water in this place?!" a young team member muttered to himself, looking a little collapsed.

How could the black water on the Heaven Star, which is quite far away from here, reach here across the universe?

If black water existed on this colony, what about other planets?

Just as everyone was in disbelief, Xiao tightened his backpack, picked up his gun, and took the lead in walking into the building.

Daniels followed immediately, but as soon as she took a step, there was an almost unnoticeable pause in her steps.

She frowned slightly, as if she felt a little unwell for a moment.

But the next moment, the discomfort disappeared so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

She also walked into the building.

Everyone followed.

The building was also empty and there was no blackwater life.

In the strongest room underground, they found several reports.

Clicking on one of the voice records, a desperate voice came out:

"The following is the final record left by the humans on this planet to future generations—"

　"The Surface of the Black Hole" is great! The main character didn't watch it but I watched it twice! It's a little scary and heavy film, cosmic science fiction, and a good combination of supernatural horror. If you can accept it but haven't seen it, you can go and watch it!
