Chapter 23 The UFO in the Cave
"Eh, Jing Xing...?"

When Yan Jingxing turned to leave the boathouse, the first person who noticed something strange was Ji Chunzao who had been by his side all the time.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that the boy was about to open the door and go out without saying a word, the little girl subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve, but failed.

Yan Jingxing didn't turn her head back, she stepped forward with a focused expression, didn't respond to her words, and only had one target in her eyes.

He looked like he was staring at someone's back; but in front of him, there was clearly nothing.

"Wait, don't go!"

Now Ji Chunzao was really anxious, she had already realized that something was wrong, and quickly followed his footsteps.

Her shout caught Xie Yuzhi's attention, and the girl frowned as she glanced towards the door.

"Uncle Liu, you wait for us here, and you will be back soon."

Saying that, she followed the pace of those two people without hesitation, and walked out of the house quickly.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Liu Tie failed to stop the young lady, so he had to throw down the banknotes, said "I'll find a car to take this thing away later" and left.

He turned and took a last look around the room.

In the dim houseboat, the white "astronaut model" was lying quietly on the concrete floor, motionless.

*
Yan Jingxing followed the "resurrected" astronaut for more than ten minutes at a stretch before stopping in a daze.

At this time, he heard anxious shouts from beside him:

"Jing Xing, Jing Xing, what's wrong with you?! Wake up!"

Yan Jingxing was startled by the sudden loud voice, subconsciously covered his ears, and frowned at the girl standing beside him.
"Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden? I'm awake."

Ji Chunzao froze for a moment, then she put her hands on her hips, stared at him with dissatisfaction, and her voice became louder.

"Sober? I've called you several times, but you didn't answer!"

"Yes, is it..."

Yan Jingxing scratched the back of his head, looked around, and found that he was no longer in the boat house, and he didn't know where he was.Until this time, there was a feeling of sudden recovery.

At this time, Xie Yuzhi slowly walked over from not far away. She put her hands on her chest, looked him up and down seriously for a while, and then asked:
"Yan Jingxing, what happened just now? Did you see something?"

"Didn't you see it?"

Yan Jingxing asked strangely.

"The astronaut stood up suddenly, and then pushed the door to go out. I thought it was very strange, so I immediately followed..."

"How could it be!" Ji Chunzao said, "We all saw it clearly, when he came out, he was still lying there!"

"what?"

At this time, only Miss Xie remained calm.

"It's not surprising, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. In other words, Jing Xing, this is a situation that only you can see, right?"

...yes, the astronaut, that ghostly giant he'd seen in the cinema, dreamed and dreamed about again...

This time, "he" really came to reality from hallucinations and dreams, but there are still some things that only he can see.

"Looking at your dazed look, you should be as confused as we are."

Xie Yuzhi sighed, put down her hands, and walked in front of him.

"We can't miss this opportunity, Jing Xing." She looked into his eyes seriously. "Every appearance of 'astronaut' provides you with vital information. 'He' did not appear in front of you for no reason, and there must be a very critical reason that we can't imagine."

"...En." Yan Jingxing nodded.

"So can you still see 'him' now?"Did you stop just now because you saw clearly where he went? "

Yan Jingxing nodded again.

At this time, they had left the vicinity of the pier in Shigang Village, and the surrounding air no longer lingered with the fishy smell of seafood. Instead, it was replaced by lush forests and rolling green hills. At the foot of the mountain, there was a large farmland at the gate of the village.

The summer wind is blowing in the face, and the scorching breath is permeated with the aroma of rice from the transpiration of the paddy fields, creating a leisurely and pleasant rural scenery.

The frogs in the fields chirped tirelessly in the heat of summer, and the dragonflies flew between the fields and ponds.

Looking from a high place, you can see a white line in the distance, which is the embankment; and the other side of the embankment is the boundless sea.

Yan Jingxing looked past the two girls in front of him, and saw the white figure walking quietly on the field path.

"Let's go."

He took a deep breath.

"Let's go see where 'he' is taking us."

……

If someone can borrow Yan Jingxing's eyes to look down from the sky at this time, they will see an incredible, wonderful and absurd scene:
In the verdant forest, countless intertwined crowns undulate in the wind, like waves rolled up on the sea.

In the middle of the mountain forest, there is a twisted light yellow dirt road. A white figure is walking in front. It is an astronaut who has just crawled out of the belly of a whale. "He" in a white space suit should have been in the universe. Walking, but now walking on the dirt road step by step;

Followed by a few youthful young girls, they followed the steps of the astronauts and walked among the mountains:

Farther away, there is an adult who is anxiously looking for the traces of them...

*
Yan Jingxing stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked in front of him.

It looked like a cave, with traces of man-made pipes at the entrance, and a rusty iron fence blocking half of it.

The vines hanging down from the entrance of the cave are growing densely, which looks very green.

The "ghost astronaut" just entered here.

"It's finally here."

Yan Jingxing realized that the destination was just ahead, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Following an inexplicable guy wandering aimlessly in the mountains and forests without knowing the exact route and time, the psychological burden is quite heavy.

After arriving in the mountains, the temperature became cooler, but the sun was still strong, and the shade of the trees could not completely cover it; coupled with the trekking on the difficult and rugged paths, he was already sweating profusely.

"Okay, the astronaut's destination is here, we can take a rest..."

He turned his head and said to the two girls following him.

Whether it was Ji Chunzao or Xie Yuzhi, they were all sweaty and out of breath.Ji Chunzao was even more unbearable. He looked like he was about to faint, like a mermaid who forgot that he was an aquatic animal after landing on the shore with his tail replaced.

Fortunately, Xie Yuzhi was supporting her, otherwise Yan Jingxing was really afraid that she would accidentally step on the ground and turn down the mountain.

In addition, it's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that it would be a bit awkward if he took the initiative to speak up in this situation...

It was summer, and the girls were all wearing thin clothes. The sweat-soaked light-colored tops and long skirts were tightly attached to the skin, outlining the curves of young bodies. Flesh-colored.

Yan Jingxing blushed subconsciously after only a few glances, and turned his head away not daring to look any further.

"arrive?"

Xie Yuzhi walked up to him, stroked the hair on her forehead with her little finger, and stared at the cave side by side with him.

"Well, I think the astronauts just walked into this hole."

Yan Jingxing's gaze was fixed on his eyes, and he didn't intend to wander anywhere else at all, so he replied in a serious tone.

"On the way, I discovered one thing."

Miss Xie didn't notice someone's strangeness, and said the same seriously.

"Ok?"

"Everywhere we pass, there are roads. We have never walked into the real mountain forest-if it weren't for this, I would have stopped a long time ago, and I would feel that I need to be more prepared before entering. But now... ..."

The girl blocked the sun with her hands, her bright eyes gazing at the deep entrance of the cave flickered slightly.

"It has been concluded that the road we walked, although it looks inaccessible now, must have been frequented by more than one person before. Including this cave, it is obviously built artificially."

"...Yes." Yan Jingxing guessed hesitantly, "This may be an air-raid shelter? I heard from my uncle that there are many similar places on the mountain in Baiyue Town..."

"Ha, ha, ha..."

At this time, Ji Chunzao finally came to the place beside them, while slapping his hands to pour wind into the opening of the neckline, while sticking out his pink tongue like a dog that is too hot.

"Hey, you two, don't get stuck here, are you planning to go in?"

She complained feebly, looking really dying.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look."

Yan Jingxing made a decision.

"Find a shady place to sit down and rest for a while."

……

There was a rusty iron door at the entrance of the cave, which was not locked, and it was pushed open with a strong bump.

The net made of vines hangs down like a wreath woven with silk threads. Entering it feels like the Monkey King in Journey to the West entering the Water Curtain Cave for the first time.

"Take this."

Xie Yuzhi, who was following behind Yan Jingxing, poked him on the back and handed him a small flashlight.

"You still have this?"

"Well. I usually carry a flashlight, gps and swiss army knife with me."

...are you an explorer from where?
Yan Jingxing looked suspiciously at the shirt skirt on her body, not knowing where the pockets that could put those things were hidden.

He turned on the flashlight, and the dim beam of light left an oval spot on the cave wall, and walked inside cautiously.

Surprisingly, the area inside the cave is not spacious, like a cave for hibernation, and the size inside may not be comparable to Miss Xie's bedroom.

The three of them quickly walked around the cave wall and found a bundle of camp quilts, a bed, a stack of file folders and archives made of clipped newspapers, a small generator, and a radio , several boxes of military compressed biscuits, and a simple homemade distilled water device.

Looks like someone's hideout.

It's all covered in dust and has been in this place for a long time.

The materials that can be found in the cave are all paper, contaminated by the damp water in the cave, and some papers have been stuck together. In order to avoid accidental damage, everyone decided not to open it for the time being and take it back. dry.

Besides, there is one more thing worth paying attention to in this hole right now——

"Uh, is this a...flying saucer?"

Yan Jingxing circled the huge metal ball placed in the center of the cave twice, his tone full of surprise.

It is said to be a round ball, but it is not considered a regular "round", but has a raised center and flat sides. It is this shape that makes people more likely to think of things like flying saucers and UFOs.

There are spots of rust on the surface of the flying saucer; there are two small oval glass windows, and the seals seem to be in good condition, but the contents inside cannot be seen clearly.

"Really, is it a UFO? Yes, is it left by aliens..."

When Ji Chunzao spoke, his tongue started to tie up.

"is it?"

Xie Yuzhi showed a suspicious expression.

"Isn't this the kind of facility in an amusement park?"

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Sorry, I've never been to an amusement park."

"Me too."

The eldest lady choked for a moment before continuing.

"...In short, if it is really a spacecraft that is said to allow aliens to land on the earth, at least from the outside, it must have a 'high-tech sense' beyond human imagination."

She shook her head.

"For example, the corresponding molecular material technology needed to cross the universe, and the huge energy supply device... I can't see these."

She held out a finger and stroked the surface of the flying saucer.

"...It feels like ordinary rusty metal. It is more likely that this thing was imitated by humans."

Xie Yuzhi turned to look at Yan Jingxing.

"What about the astronaut? 'He' got in here?"

No, I didn't see it, the guy went into the hole and disappeared—

Just as Yan Jingxing was about to answer, a heavy dizziness came from his head, and the world spun around his eyes.

Subconsciously, he wanted to open his arms to maintain balance, and staggered forward a few steps.

Some kind of gigantic light erupted in the center of the cave, engulfing the two girls in his field of vision.

What follows is a plethora of fragmented scenes:
Astronauts trekking in the boundless alien forest, the crimson sky, the monsters floating in the sky covering the sky, and the tower standing in the middle of the wilderness.

Time is running backwards.

Back before the astronauts landed on the unknown planet, Yan Jingxing saw "he" walk into the cave, turn on the radio, and sit in a facility similar to a UFO flying saucer.The shape of that thing is exactly the same as the machine in the cave, but it is not rusted...

Accompanied by an earth-shattering bang and the dazzling brilliance erupting like a lightning storm, the figure of the astronaut appeared on the planet...

"Ahhhh!"

Yan Jingxing clutched his forehead, screamed and fell backwards.

Luckily he didn't come alone.

There were two forces from different people, supporting him from behind respectively, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Jing Xing, Jing Xing, what's wrong with you?"

He heard someone shouting anxiously, he felt like he was in a huge vortex, and the voice came from the faint sky.

At this moment, Yan Jingxing couldn't tell which girl was talking, he closed his eyes tightly, and before he forgot, he shouted out the truth he saw:

"Yes...it's that flying saucer! It...it can send people to another planet!"

　Thank you, Teacher Ji Cha, for your kind recommendation!This harem reader group must have heard of it, so I don't need to introduce it.
