The Fallen Aircraft

Leave no one alive!?

The audience members became even more curious upon seeing this.

Those who hadn't played the demo were especially eager to know what would happen next.

As for why the captain issued the execution order, it's not hard to understand.

On that planet below, something extremely ferocious must be slaughtering humanity.

The audience could understand the captain's ruthless approach in order to prevent those things from getting onto the ship.

After all, as the person with the highest status on the ship, he is responsible for the safety of the crew.

Therefore, the captain's simple and brutal method of isolation and killing was actually the most effective.

The audience agreed.

At this moment, on the large screen as wide as the wall, the blonde woman Vinson appeared once again.

This time, however, she did not show any signs of headache, but instead began to recount her experience.

[The captain ordered us to kill the survivors on those two ships, and I obeyed. Because I could not disobey my superior's orders, I led a six-man squad to the hangar.]

[But when we got there, the people, or rather the things... were gone.]

As soon as the blonde woman finished speaking, all the virtual characters on the stage disappeared as the spotlights went out.

The next second, the spotlights shone again, and a huge yellow-painted spaceship appeared on the vast stage.

Its body was old and covered in scratches. Sparks would occasionally fly out from the seams.

Numerous jagged fractures caused by impacts are clearly visible, and the wiring is densely packed.

Thick smoke billowed from the tail nozzles, swirling and billowing across the stage.

Clearly, the spaceship 'crashed' in the Seonggok's hangar.

This surprised the audience for a moment, but they immediately applauded and cheered after realizing what was happening.

They were moved and happy.

The stage play performance has finally started to change a bit.

Previous performances have always consisted of standing dialogues, CG cutscenes, and video-style narration.

Although the initial surprise and amazement of doing this at the press conference was unexpected, it gradually became just another ordinary event.

Whenever there's a big scene or a bloody scene, they switch to CG cutscenes, the dialogue is changed to two people standing there, and the narration is changed to a blonde woman talking to herself. This looping is getting a bit tiring.

Just when everyone thought the rest of the performance would be a formulaic one, this 'crashed' spaceship truly elevated the stage play to another level.

"My God, the metallic texture and weathered look of this spaceship are simply amazing!"

"You're right, my friend. I never expected such a huge spaceship to appear on stage. This performance actually features a spaceship model. I'm getting more and more curious about what's going to happen next."

"Me too, my friend."

As the two audience members were talking, six people dressed in yellow bodysuits suddenly ran out from the darkness outside the spotlights on the stage.

Upon seeing this, the audience immediately realized that this was the six-person security team the blonde woman had mentioned.

Because she's the one in charge!

She also changed into that tight-fitting outfit, which accentuated her figure.

The appearance of the team drew another round of applause and cheers from the audience.

At this moment, the six-person team, each armed with a different weapon, approached the spaceship.

In the venue, the enormous yellow-painted spaceship stood in stark contrast to the tiny six security guards.

It also made the audience marvel at the size of the spaceship.

"Stay alert, everyone! Although we are not soldiers, our training is similar to that of soldiers. Follow soldier standards!"

On stage, the blonde woman loudly reminded her teammates behind her. Then, holding a gun, she and another male teammate stood guard on either side of the spaceship's hatch.

"This spaceship is the No. 1 spacecraft. It looks like the pilot inside is very skilled. His landing skills are comparable to my cousin who just started college."

A tall male security guard by the cabin door made a humorous remark, bringing a bit of lightness to the tense atmosphere.

But the blonde Vinson shook her head and spoke seriously.

"The spaceship didn't land smoothly according to the piloting procedures; instead, it crashed here as if it had malfunctioned. Of course, that's also possible."

Vinson paused for a moment, then spoke cautiously.

"The driver had an accident."

Vinson nodded to the two security guards, who immediately understood and pulled out some kind of beam thermal energy device to cut the spaceship's hatch.

"Vinson, there's a smell of blood. I have a bad feeling."

Another short-haired woman in the group said warily, her gun always aimed at the inside of the hatch.

"Yes, there is a strong smell of blood."

In a matter of seconds, the hatch was slashed open.

The short-haired woman and the tall man from before exchanged a glance, nodded, and then rolled one after the other into the spaceship.

Then, he immediately assumed a crouching position with his gun raised and quickly scanned his surroundings.

Of course, the audience at the scene couldn't see inside the spaceship; they could only infer the situation from the dialogue.

"Left side is safe!"

"The right side is safe too. My God, what on earth is going on here?"

The two security guards reported the situation.

These words clearly indicate that something has gone wrong inside.

Upon hearing this line, some audience members craned their necks, seemingly trying to peek inside the spaceship.

Judging from the dialogue, something bad must have happened on this ship.

Coupled with the tragic death of the excavation team leader, which indicates that some kind of monster has begun its hunt, and the 'crash' of this spaceship, it's not hard to guess that something is definitely wrong with this spaceship.

As expected, following the speculations of some spectators, the blonde woman Vinson went inside the ship immediately after hearing the team members' report.

The large screen, as wide as the wall, also presented the interior from her first-person perspective.

The audience was stunned when they saw it.

As the first-person perspective shifts, the interior of the ship is stained with blood and covered in grime.

The interior of the spaceship was horrifying, with large patches of blood and grime covering the walls, floor, and even the ceiling.

Especially when Vinson looks down from his first-person perspective, he sees the foot that's stained with blood. As it lifts up, thick streaks of blood are drawn out.

This scene was truly disturbing.

"Vinson, this blood is still very fresh; it couldn't have happened more than an hour ago. And this ship made an emergency landing 30 minutes ago, giving us 14 minutes to assemble and get here. That means..."

One of the Hat Man, stepped forward, dabbed the blood from inside the cabin, and spoke in a deep voice.

"The reason for the pilot's emergency landing has been found."

Upon hearing this, Landa, a short-haired female team member standing nearby, frowned and asked a question, while she also squatted down to examine the bloodstains.

"You mean, the pilot was attacked before even entering the Seonggok? And that led to the spaceship's forced landing?"

"If that's the case, then where is the body?"

The Hat Man shrugged.

"I don't know, but judging from the extent of the bleeding, it's enough for at least two or three people. Since there are no bodies inside the spaceship, it means they're all still alive. And something dangerous must have happened that made them prefer to stay here with their serious injuries. Captain Vinson, can you explain the situation?"

Vinson paused for a moment, then nodded silently, speaking from a first-person perspective.

Then he explained it to his teammates.

"At the time, in the captain's command center, two ships were returning from the mining planet. One was likely carrying a couple, while the other carried four survivors. Judging from the amount of blood loss, this ship should belong to those four."

"Survivor?"

A burly male team member suddenly interrupted, looking surprised.

"Wait, Vinson, what do you mean by 'survivors'? What happened on that planet down there?"

Upon hearing this, all the team members seemed to realize something and fell silent.

"Vinson, what exactly happened? The crash-landed spaceship, the bloodstains at the scene, and the missing pilot. You know something, don't you?"

The blonde woman, viewed from a first-person perspective, paused for a moment, then nodded.

She sighed, and just as she was about to continue explaining, the radio crackled to life.

[Captain Vinson, this is Daan. This is Hangar 21. We have successfully captured four survivors, but they appear to be traumatized and are all injured.]

[We have taken the wounded to the medical ward, as Medical Officer Nicole indicated she could examine and treat them. One of the wounded also said he had important information to report, so we did not kill him but instead temporarily detained him pending further instructions.]

[Hey! Hey! Let me go! Let me go! You have no idea what's going on down there! I need to see the captain! He needs to understand how dangerous the situation is!]

[Did you hear me?! Let me go! Let me go!]

[That's the situation, Captain Vinson. Report complete.]

The audience frowned upon seeing this.

This spaceship, covered in blood, isn't it the property of those four people?

Now that those four people have been captured, could this blood-stained spaceship belong to that couple?

but.

With so much blood here, if it's the blood of that couple, where would they have gone?

At this moment, the male team member wearing a hat suddenly spoke up.

"I think I should know where the driver went."

From a first-person perspective, the blonde woman Vinson looked in the direction of the sound and found the Hat Man looking up at the cracks in the spaceship caused by the impact.

Above it is a ventilation duct.

There, the sealed iron gate has disappeared without a trace.

All around, bloodstains were everywhere, and thick, foul blood dripped down the edges.
