A series of explosions echoed from the crash site of the spaceship. Huang Jian rubbed his hands together, breathing out warm air, his face filled with worry.
"The sounds like a fight. Who is he fighting with?" Huang Jian wondered. In this desolate wilderness, could Han Xiao be fighting with aliens?
Just thinking about it made him think the world was truly insane.
After waiting for a while, the sound suddenly disappeared, and Huang Jian's heart immediately jumped. Although he had heard of Han Xiao's formidable record, his opponent was an alien.
"If something happens to him, no one will give me orders. Should I continue waiting for him...?"
Just as they were struggling with their decision, a figure flew up in the direction the spaceship had crashed and quickly approached. It was Han Xiao, who landed next to the helicopter with a howling wind. His mech was covered in wounds, and some parts of the armor were cracked, exposing the internal wires that crackled and sparked.
"Thank goodness, you're alright." Huang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly noticed that Han Xiao was carrying a creature he had never seen before. It had pale golden skin, wide-set facial features, and its hands and feet were bound by electrified mechanical shackles. It was Kerlodd, who was now bruised and swollen, completely naked.
"Outside... outside..." Huang Jian stammered, pointing at Kerlodd, too shocked to speak.
"Alien, it took me a lot of effort to capture him."
Han Xiao grabbed Kerlodd by the hair and shoved him into the cabin. The Goddora man was furious, but with his mouth gagged, he could only thrash about like a dead fish.
Huang Jian was dumbfounded. He knew Han Xiao was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful, even able to capture aliens. His worldview was completely shattered.
"Take off quickly, we're near the Raylen border, their people will be here soon," Han Xiao said.
Huang Jian frantically started the helicopter, and it quickly flew away.
On the plane, Han Xiao took off his mech and checked the damage. He had about 20% armor left. The Goddora investigator had advanced equipment, but in the end, he unleashed a barrage of attacks. Kerlodd was like a delicate girl being rubbed on the ground, powerless to fight back, and could only passively endure the Rainstorm.
He destroyed the investigator's combat suit, seized the golden orb, ensuring Kerlodd couldn't access any weapons, leaving only a translator for... well, I mean for communication.
The communicator arrived, and it even came with a Goddora character; the overall quality is higher than I expected.
"There's still a lot we can squeeze out of him; we'll deal with him when we get back." Han Xiao secretly pondered his new plan.
Huang Jian was very curious about the alien, and every now and then he would turn around and ask, "Sir, does it bite?"
To be regarded as a savage beast by a native, a dignified envoy of a higher civilization, Kerlodd was furious. However, with his hands and feet bound, he could only protest by banging his head against the steel plate.
"He probably doesn't bite..." Han Xiao stroked his chin, pondering, "But judging from how fierce he is, he might have that kind of fetish."
Bang! Kerlodd continued to slam his head against the steel plate.
Huang Jian asked curiously, "Can he eat it?"
Han Xiao pinched the Goddora's arm and clicked his tongue, "The skin is quite smooth, and the flesh is firm. Are you interested?"
Huang Jian hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I've never eaten an alien before."
Bang bang bang!!
The frequency of his head hitting the steel plate increased.
Backward! Barbaric! Kerlodd roared inwardly, followed by a surge of panic.
These natives probably don't really want to eat him!
Huang Jian was in high spirits, asking all sorts of questions, trying to figure out how Han Xiao knew that aliens would arrive on Planet Aquamarine, and why he was capturing them. These were questions that Kerlodd also wanted to know.
First, the spaceship inexplicably malfunctioned and barely made an emergency landing. Then, they encountered this powerful man in mecha who claimed to be a welcoming messenger but suddenly ambushed and beat him up, tying him up hand and foot.
Kerlodd was furious when he thought about how the analysis module rated Planet Aquamarine as having a low level of danger. How long had it been since the database was updated? This was no longer considered safe!
"Who is he? Why did he arrest me? How did he know I made an emergency landing here?" Kerlodd was very confused and puzzled, so Han Xiao naturally kept quiet.
"Is it male or female?" Huang Jian asked curiously.
Han Xiao said irritably, "See for yourself."
Huang Jian stared wide-eyed for a while, then exclaimed in surprise, "I thought aliens, being so burly, would be huge..."
Thump!
Unable to bear the humiliation, Kerlodd rammed himself into the steel plate with all his might, a swift and clean motion that knocked him unconscious.
A dozen minutes after the helicopter flew away, Raylen's troops finally arrived, found the crashed spaceship, and were shocked. They immediately cordoned off the area.
"This is an alien spaceship!"
"Instructions have come from above: this is a spaceship from the alien civilization of Goddora Civilization! They've come specifically to help us investigate the Inhuman!"
"The mountains have been collapsed! This isn't a normal landing! The spaceship has crashed! Check immediately for survivors!"
"Report: No bodies found inside the spaceship, but there are signs of a battle nearby!"
Raylen's troops gathered clues, observed the battlefield, and drew preliminary conclusions.
"There were two people fighting, both of them were superhumans. One of them was using a weapon we don't know. The trees are scarred as if they were melted by lasers, and there are also marks from being chopped. The cuts are smooth, and even the internal texture of the trees has been worn away. They are not ordinary melee weapons. These battle marks contain a slightly high level of radiation. This should be Goddora."
"The other side is using gunpowder weapons. The metal composition of the cartridge cases is similar to ours, and there are also some armor fragments in the ground. They should be powerful individuals from our planet. We need to match the specific target with the database. Judging from the battlefield damage, this person's strength is definitely at the top of Planet Aquamarine. There are only a limited number of strong individuals in this range, so we will be able to confirm the target soon."
"The final outcome of the battle was that the Goddora people were captured."
"Any other discoveries?"
At this moment, a researcher discovered that a piece of the spaceship's armor had been opened, revealing the spaceship's internal components. Curious, he peered inside and shone a flashlight around, suddenly noticing something unusual. He remarked, "There seems to be liquid inside the spaceship."
"Liquid?"
The crowd gathered around, and under the bright light, they discovered a pile of metal and pipes covered in a viscous black liquid.
What is this?
"Motor oil, I guess," one person said uncertainly.
At that moment, the officer suddenly said, "Orders from above: secretly transport the spaceship back home!"
The crash of the Goddora spaceship presented a golden opportunity for the Planet Aquamarine regime. Raylen decided to research the spaceship's technology. Since their civilization was lagging behind, they had to seize every opportunity for development. Only by taking risks could they hope to rise up and make a comeback.
Of course, Raylen wouldn't dare offend the Goddora Civilization. She would inform the Goddora Civilization of this matter, but it would take some time. She could pretend to be confused or pretend to be actively searching for the missing Goddora people, thus wasting time. Anyway, she had plenty of excuses.
Raylen took this matter very seriously and was determined to issue a gag order to prevent the news from leaking out, as they wanted to have the spaceship for themselves.
As for the missing Goddora people, Raylen decided to search for them secretly and without making a fuss.
The engineering team arrived, dug out the spaceship, wrapped it in a black cloth to block out light, and then launched three transport helicopters to transport the spaceship back to Raylen.
