Chapter 152 - Journal

When Zero opened his eyes, the cold feeling was fading.

He stared blankly for a moment, then untied the sterile bandage that had been tied to his body. When he passed by that layer of blue light just now, Zero could clearly feel the life force deep within the cells in his body being stimulated, which allowed his old wounds to quickly recover. After removing the bandage, most of the wound on his chest that had been caused by Parkland's assassin was healed.

A layer of pink film had already formed on the bullet hole of the wound, and the muscle tissue within was constantly squirming, while new fibrous tissue was currently filling up the wound. With his physique, it would take at least three days to heal this kind of penetrating injury.

He was deep in thought.

This layer of blue light was not as simple as a purifying system. It also contained the ability to stimulate the energy of living cells, thereby allowing humans and other living beings to maintain their vitality. This was like a war drum for the soldiers who were about to leave for the battlefield, and this airship was a battleship!

The interior structure of the aircraft was also very unique. It did not have a metallic exterior, but rather, the interior was more like the interior of some creature.

The space where Zero was was located was similar to an elevator. Although he did not feel the shock, he still had a feeling that he was heading upwards. The walls of the "elevator" were uneven and looked like the skin of living things. In this layer of skin, Zero could see the faint blue light flowing through the energy channels. It was like a living creature's blood vessel. Upon closer inspection, the four walls would rise up and down slightly, which made Zero feel strange.

Now, Zero was sure that the spaceship had some sort of energy storage system. So only after the identification system had been put in place and the entrance opened up did energy in the vehicle continue to operate. From the intermittent flow of blue light from the energy tank, it could be seen that the beautiful light energy was the energy source of the aircraft. However, its light was so weak that it seemed to be lacking in reserve energy.

A slight vibration came from beneath his feet, and Zero knew that the elevator had stopped. Following that, a layer of light appeared on the wall facing Zero, just like the layer of light at the entrance of the aircraft. Thinking that would be the exit, he stepped into the light pattern. After a moment, he was standing in another part of the flier.

Zero looked back. After the blue light faded away, the wall facing him was still the same as before. He could not see any gap, but he had actually come here from a sealed space. In other words, the light patterns on the ship were similar to teleportation abilities, allowing people to directly ignore matter and arrive at a designated space.

Although teleportation could also do the same in the Perception Domain, what was in front of him wasn't any ability. Instead, it was technology.

Zero thought that it was related to the technology of optics and space transportation. It was just an entrance, but it already involved technology that humans could not use right now. He believed he wouldn't be surprised if there was anything strange in this aircraft.

Right now, he was in a space that was similar to a passageway, with no end in sight. Only a faint blue light could be seen flowing through the energy slot on the wall, carrying the blue light from the starting point. When they arrived at this large space, the undulations coming from the walls became even more intense. It looked like the inside of a creature's body, not an airship.

This phenomenon reminded Zero of the metal wings of an aircraft. It seemed that not only did the flying device use biomimetic technology, but it also applied to the interior of the ship. From the current situation, light energy and bionics were the two most common uses of this unknown civilization.

These two things were the ideal technologies for the new era, because they represented zero pollution.

Unfortunately, even if Zero was not an expert, he knew that it would take a long time before he could upgrade his technology to the same level as this airship.

According to the information in his memory, Zero aimed at the front end of the 'U' shaped flier and started moving towards the intestinal passage. The blue light on the walls flashed continuously, causing the light on Zero's face to flicker. Within a few steps, Zero saw a figure lying on the left wall.

His heart skipped a beat, and Zero immediately walked over.

Without a doubt, this was a person.

Although his body was taller and stronger than any other species in the modern world, the skeletal structure of his skull was extremely similar to that of a human's. Zero saw the sphenoid bone, frontal bone, occipital bone and other skull structures, as well as orbital, nasal bone and modern human structures. The only difference was that there was a crystal embedded in the skull's forehead.

The crystal was elliptical in shape, showing a fine and numerous hexagonal crystal pattern. However, the crystal had already cracked and with a light touch, it turned to dust. However, within the ashes, a cold feeling came from the fingers that touched it. This feeling was very similar to the blue light engravings that he had passed through. In other words, this crystal could be used to store energy.

Judging from the hole that appeared after the crystal scattered, this thing didn't look like an artificial graft, but some sort of natural organ.

The tall skeleton beneath his feet was wearing something similar to a tactical suit. The clothing was creamy white, and there was a fragment of hard bone on the chest, shoulders, and knees to protect it. These bone armor were embedded with round crystals. From the dark blue splotches on the clothing to his chest, there was an even larger crystal embedded in the center.

It was the size of a zero fist and had a diamond-like cube structure. It was also dark blue, and looked like a blue diamond.

The clothes worn by the man were close-fitting, and there were no signs of any stitching or stitching on his skin. It was as if he was wearing a second layer of skin.

Using his rank 2 strengthening strength, he was able to feel the astonishing tenacity of the clothing. This meant that it was not easy to damage.

If he were to wear this outfit, it was estimated that he wouldn't need to purchase a new one for a long period of time. Unfortunately, Zero didn't know how to take it off, much less how to wear it. On the other hand, the crystal on the skeleton's chest attracted a lot of interest. Even if it didn't have any uses, just selling it like a gem would be a huge amount of money.

So Zero reached out and grabbed the crystal, trying to get it out. Unexpectedly, the moment his fingers touched the crystal, he felt the stone shrink. Zero couldn't help but be shocked. He thought, could it be that this crystal had already rotted as well?

However, the crystal in his palm glowed with a faint blue light. Following that, the bones in his battle suit and the milky white material began to flow like water. They all shrank back into the dark blue water-like substance. Soon after, the water lines also shrank back, all of them shrinking back into the crystal stone in his palm.

As a result, the skeleton that was originally wrapped in the tactical uniform was completely exposed to the air. Very quickly, the skeleton caved in and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

On the other hand, the crystal in Zero's hand glowed with a stronger blue light. The crystal with a certain degree of hardness wriggled in the blue light and liquefied into a mercury-like substance. It then covered Zero's body like a living being. The speed at which it spread was so fast that Zero had just formed the thought of resistance. The blue liquid had already covered Zero's body, excluding its head.

Following which, the same crystal appeared on Zero's chest. The rest of the body began to solidify, forming a thin, leathery substance. Similarly, bone armor shaped like armor formed on the chest, shoulders, and knees. When the color of the skin on the body changed from dark blue to milky white, but unique four dark blue lines extended towards the crystal on the chest. The same battle suit as the corpse on the ground appeared on Zero's body.

Before he could rejoice over the fact that he had a better battle uniform set, a screen appeared in front of him. The screen of light floated before Zero's eyes. After a moment of blankness, images began to appear before Zero's eyes.

This was a vast universe, the dark blue space was filled with galaxies. Zero couldn't recognize this scene at all. One thing was certain, this wasn't the Milky Way where Earth was located. They could not see even half a familiar star, and what appeared on the screen was a planet that none of them knew of.

In the old days, Saturn was the furthest week humans could explore. And in the new era, facing the cruel test of Earth's vile environment, as well as the existence of the cotton thick radiation cloud in the sky, humans simply didn't have the strength to explore the secrets of outer space. Therefore, the space distance that humans could explore was limited to about 10 astronomical units or, if converted to meters, about 1.5 billion kilometers.

This was already a terrifying number. However, from the various bizarre galaxies displayed on the light screen, the space that it presented had exceeded the limits of what was known by zero. Zero didn't know which space on the display screen it was in. He only knew that the spacecraft he was on was not simple. It could be a space exploration ship.

The places it had been to far exceeded the records of the current world. It was a space that had yet to be explored by humans. What Zero saw now should be something similar to a sailing diary.

The light screen quickly skipped over meaningless scenes. When the image was fixed, the zero pupil narrowed.

A terrifying scene appeared in Zero's eyes.
