Chapter 18: Recycling Old Appliances and Clothes! ...

Hengxing was presented with both good news and bad news.

The good news was that she quickly found an instruction video for operating the same type of spacecraft; the bad news was that she only had about ten minutes left before she was suffocated and frozen to death, while the instruction manual explained the structure of the backup door in an hour.

She doesn't have a parachute pack in her inventory, and even if she did, she wouldn't jump.

We have no choice but to give it a try.

Hengxing used a nylon anti-slip rope to wrap around his shoulders and back, then tied himself to the side of the spare door and watched the operation video at three times the speed.

It's too late.

She kept fast-forwarding, picking out the important parts to watch.

Hengxing could feel his hands and feet getting cold, and his breath was accompanied by noticeable white mist.

It was still too late.

The video wasn't even halfway through, but her life bar was already less than half full.

Indeed, one should not act impulsively.

She sighed and proceeded to dismantle the second line of defense of the backup door as demonstrated.

Even though she was very anxious, she remained calm on the surface, and her hand holding the screwdriver was still very steady.

Should I send Mr. Yu a message to curry favor? Maybe he'll escape on his own in a few days. Otherwise, there won't be anyone to burn paper money for me in the future.

Hengxing was lost in thought, her hands moving non-stop, and she was a little out of breath. She tried her best to keep her breathing calm.

Suddenly the spaceship slowly slowed down until it came to a stop in mid-air.

Hengxing was unaware of what was happening, so she quickly made the most of the time to continue operating the machine.

The spaceship paused for about ten minutes. In a life-or-death race against time, just as the spaceship began to take off again, she managed to pry open the backup door a crack, untie the ropes binding her, crouch down and crawl inside, and then hurriedly close the backup door.

ah,

A safe and warm world!

She's back.

"The backup door was suddenly opened? Door number two, okay, I'll go check it right now."

The sound of a walkie-talkie came from around the corner of the corridor ahead.

Okay, it's not very safe.

Heng Xing looked around and immediately jumped into the nearest room.

"Hey, why is there a rope stuck in the spare door? Was it there before?"

"You don't remember either?"

"I think so, what do you think?"

As the man spoke, he suddenly flung open the slightly ajar door to the next room.

As you open each door, there's nothing there.

"There's no one here. Go check Young Master Yu's room again to make sure he doesn't run away again."

Hengxing hid in a pile of clutter in a strange posture, patiently tensing her muscles and remaining motionless, even though the footsteps and voices outside had completely disappeared.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only a faint ringing in the ears.

She counted in her head.

When you're bored, you have to find something to do.

When the count reached "1223", the door to the room was suddenly opened again, and a human-shaped shadow was cast on the floor. The shadow was elongated and distorted, making it look terrifying and oppressive.

The shadow man scanned the room for a week but found nothing, then left.

This time it was a complete departure, with no chance of a comeback.

Hengxing counted to 1223 and then jumped back to the beginning of the count. When he reached the third 1223, there was still no movement in the corridor.

She carefully emerged from the pile of debris.

This is probably a storeroom, filled with all sorts of odds and ends, including some nice things.

For example, this robot vacuum cleaner next to me is a two-year-old model, and it's been replaced and is now just sitting here collecting dust.

She's really rich. The robot vacuum cleaner on her old spaceship is a model from over ten years ago, but it still works and she's still going to work.

Extravagance and waste.

Looking at these things, Hengxing suddenly had a flash of insight and understood why the spaceship had suddenly stopped in mid-air.

So even rich people have to wait in line!

My mood has calmed down a lot.

She picked up the robot vacuum and put it into her personal storage device. She also stuffed the high-end toolbox next to the robot vacuum, the dusty but unopened bed sheets and uniforms, the nutrient solution with the lid missing but the foil still intact, and other items into the storage device and placed it next to the hospital gown.

After she had almost emptied the entire storeroom, she remembered that her mission was to save people, not to collect old appliances and clothes.

Hengxing sat cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought.

The fact that the shadowy figure was searching for people room by room and personally checking each room indicates that there is a problem with the spaceship's surveillance system.

So now she can wander around the corridors without anyone noticing, but this makes her an easy target for assassination. Her strongest weapon is a small chainsaw, and it's clear that in a standoff, the other party could easily shoot her dead, or, if in a good mood, even use body-drawing techniques to toy with and humiliate her.

She needs a hidden passage that leads to all the rooms on the spaceship.

Hengxing looked down at the iron plate in the corner.

Yu Nianqing slowly woke up, her vision completely black.

His hands were tied behind his back, and the wristband-shaped spatial buttons on his wrists had been removed. He tried to struggle and found that not only were there ropes on his body and legs, but also a rope around his neck. If he moved too much, his throat would hit the rope.

Repeatedly tightening and loosening the constriction caused a slight itchy, nauseous sensation to gradually rise in the throat.

The ground beneath me was made of hard wooden planks, which creaked and groaned with the slightest movement.

He had seen the Yu family's spaceship more or less, and Yu Yi was not so poor as to use a wooden plank bed.

He remembered Hengxing's mattress and scooter.

If the missing mattress was taken by Heng Xing, it means that this spaceship is the one that crashed on the mining planet, and the person smearing a towel on their face on the school road is one of the two remaining people from that time.

Thankfully, it wasn't Yu Yi who found him.

He could still escape again.

Yu Nianqing fumbled for the ropes on her back and around her hands, but couldn't reach the knots. Her plan had failed.

The pendant on his necklace was actually a spatial button, but he didn't know if it was still there.

He is now like a paraplegic, unable to move any part of his body.

After trying for an unknown amount of time, he lay sprawled on the bed, staring blankly into the darkness. His previous plan to hijack the spaceship and escape was probably no longer feasible.

Do we run after disembarking from the spaceship at the destination?

Where is this spaceship headed? To Ninghai Star, where the Chen family lives?

His thoughts were in turmoil as he anxiously tried to come up with a solution, but to no avail; he couldn't think of anything.

Yu Nianqing felt as if he had returned to that afternoon on the mining planet. The core of his chaotic thoughts was emptiness, when Heng Xing appeared and asked him if he needed a means of transportation.

But there's no way for a celestial being to descend from the heavens to help him now.

I wonder if Captain Heng saw the strawberry cake he bought. He bought a whole one; judging from the promotional picture, it should have six slices. He even specifically asked the owner to add an extra strawberry. It's rare to see an Alpha who likes strawberry cake.

It's quite a pity that I couldn't personally deliver the cake to Captain Heng.

Suddenly, the image of Captain Heng's dazzling golden eyes appeared before my eyes.

It's a real shame that we couldn't see Captain Heng receive the cake in person.

Captain Heng is a good person, and Yu Nianqing doesn't want to involve her; it's too dangerous.

Besides, he didn't leave her any clues at all, so Captain Heng couldn't possibly find her.

He can only rely on himself now.

Bringing back her wandering thoughts one by one, Yu Nianqing began to think of a new strategy.

He heard voices outside and turned his head as far as he could to look at the source of the sound.

"Yu Yi called?"

"He said exchanging the money was impossible and that we should get him to Ninghai Star right away, otherwise he'd go to the black market and get pirates to hunt us down. Bro, what do we do?"

"No money? Then let's take him over after we're done playing. That'll count as completing the mission. I could only look at him before, and I was itching to do it. Come on, I'll wait for you here..."

Things didn't go as he expected.

As Yu Nianqing listened, he realized something was wrong. He struggled anxiously for a while, but still couldn't break free. All that remained was an itchy feeling in his throat, which made his eyes redden.

what to do?

He stared at the ceiling in near despair, his already reddened eyes becoming even redder.

The door opened, and blinding light rushed in.

"He's still here."

Are there any other people inside?

"No, it's just one. You're overthinking it."

Yu Nianqing's eyes widened, her pupils dilating slightly.

It wasn't the light that flooded in, but rather the sensation of an unidentified liquid falling from the dark ceiling, dripping onto his face and neck. The cool droplets slid deep into his neck, sending shivers down his spine.

A note from the author:

My darlings, after much deliberation, I changed the book title and made some minor adjustments to the synopsis, refining it a bit more. The overall outline remains the same, sending you love!

Which do you think is more attractive, the current one or the old one? (So conflicted!) (I'm so anxious about choosing!) (You guys pick one!) (I'm grabbing your heels and won't let you leave!)

Tomorrow (Saturday) will be a paid update, with a 10,000-word update dropping at midnight. Remember to come! *kiss*

The description for "Randomly Devouring One Neighbor Every Day [Infinite]" is as follows.

[Remember, don't live next to Song, or you might get swallowed up!]

[The story of the little fish eating the big fish in an infinite world]

*

Famous game streamer Songbai was betrayed by his teammates in Infinite Game and died suddenly, only to find himself transformed into an ordinary NPC in the game.

In his confusion, Songbai accidentally devoured other NPCs and found himself promoted to the BOSS of this dungeon. He also discovered that he could use an axe to split the dungeon boundary, allowing him to move freely between different dungeons.

Song, the newly appointed BOSS: Hmm, which neighbor's wall should I tear down today?

*

Pine and cypress trees are a nightmare for many people.

She showed no mercy to her former fans.

"Sorry, I'm now a lackey of the evil god."

Faced with her strangely shaped neighbor, she swiftly drew her knife and struck.

"I'm sorry, I need more power."

Faced with a boss who only enjoys gardening all day, she...

She couldn't win, so she could only remain silent.

Instead, her boss frowned and told her, "If you want to demolish a wall, do it on someone else's turf. Don't add to my team's death count."

Okay, got it!

Tomorrow marks the start of another joyful journey; why not visit one of your lucky neighbors?

Mr. Bernard's Garden is a beginner dungeon with a difficulty level of 3S. If you accidentally touch his lilies during the battle royale, you will be turned into fertilizer by Mr. Bernard.

It was a perfect Friday. Mr. Bernard dealt with the last batch of players for the week and happily enjoyed his afternoon tea.

Suddenly, the boundary of the instance was torn apart, and his neighbor, dressed in a clown costume, walked towards him, leaving bloody footprints with each step.

"Excuse me, I wanted to ask if you have a microwave oven? I just grabbed a bag of frozen buns at the supermarket next door."
