“Nonsense.” Wen Xihe finally spoke.
He sat behind Cen Yu and Jiang Yan, next to the Alpha who had just explained Mante Company, saying, "Mante Travel Company was just a prank."
Of course, the StarNet also has its share of so-called "adventure" programs, with Mant Travel being a classic urban legend, with countless people claiming to have seen this legendary spaceship while traveling in space.
The red hull, with the words "Mante Travel Company" printed in bright yellow, made it difficult to conceal their presence. Coupled with the fact that space pirates were active in some areas, it looked like a target to attract attention.
“Mante Travel Company does not exist at all,” Wen Xihe said.
During his journey from a remote planet to the Star Capital, he also encountered the legendary Mante Travel Company—his location was remote, and he had never heard of this famous urban legend—the other passengers on the spaceship made a great fuss as if they had seen an insectoid race.
It wasn't until people from the spaceship company came to reassure him that he heard about this urban legend for the first time. "I looked up information about Mante Travel Company. Although it appeared a long time ago, that company went bankrupt in less than six months."
Cen Yu looked at the red spaceship, neither too close nor too far, and asked, "Why did it go bankrupt?"
"I heard there was an accident," Wen Xihe said.
"The controls malfunctioned while we were traversing a meteorite belt." Wen Xihe also looked at the red spaceship through the porthole. "That was three hundred years ago... it can't compare to the technology of today."
Large spacecraft companies now have countless ways to prevent such accidents from happening.
Cen Yu stared at the spaceship for a long while before suddenly asking, "...Is it getting closer?"
He felt that the spaceship seemed larger than when he had first seen it.
Wen Xihe immediately observed the spaceship, and sure enough, it seemed to be closer than when they first saw it.
The Imperial Military Academy's spaceships have an insignia that any spaceship traveling in space would recognize... No civilian spaceship would be willing to get close, so it was already strange that this red spaceship was getting closer and closer.
Soon, the Golden Iris also spotted the unusual red spaceship.
It has issued a warning that if the other party gets any closer, they will choose to sink it.
But the red spaceship, like a ghost, slowly approached them... finally stopping at a dangerous location, at the maximum distance allowed by the Golden Iris.
Something's not right, Cen Yu thought.
Even if it's a prank, this prank is way too dangerous.
He figured that the thrill-seeking people on the StarNet wouldn't provoke the Imperial Military Academy—after all, they really did have the authority to destroy their ships.
They were about to reach the next space jump point when the porthole closed automatically again.
After yet another experience that felt like being thrown into a washing machine, the porthole opened once more... but the Mant Travel Company's spaceship did not appear this time.
"Looks like it was just a prank," Jiang Yan muttered.
Wen Xihe crossed her arms and snorted.
This area was completely different from the magnificent scenery of the previous level. They seemed to have entered a gray zone, where they could see countless meteorite fragments and many other elusive things all around them.
The Golden Iris struggled forward in this environment.
It seems this area has already been removed from the tourist area... Cen Yu thought.
This section was clearly quite long, and as they passed through certain areas, the porthole covers were drawn again, plunging the entire spaceship into darkness. Just a minute earlier, a warning had been broadcast over the ship's intercom—
[We have now arrived at Gray Fog Area 3-2. Please remain absolutely silent, close your eyes, do not look around, and do not open your eyes if you hear any sound.]
The moment the broadcast stopped, all the lights inside the spaceship went out, plunging it into darkness.
"?" Cen Yu was a little confused, but still closed his eyes.
About three minutes after he closed his eyes, a loud knocking sound suddenly came from outside the spaceship.
"Knock knock knock knock!"
The sound was so close, as if it were right next to his ear, making him want to open his eyes and find out what was going on.
Cen Yu remembered what had just been broadcast, but didn't open her eyes or speak.
"Click click".
It sounded like something was prying open the porthole.
"Click click click".
The obstruction outside the porthole seemed to have been torn apart, and soon he heard the sound of fingernails tapping on the glass.
"Da da da".
The sound was so rhythmic, with a hint of playful scrambling like a cat chasing a mouse.
"Wake up!" Jiang Yan's startled cry suddenly rang out. "Something terrible has happened!"
"One of the portholes is broken!"
Cen Yu soon heard screams coming from inside the room and the sound of something tearing open the porthole... He knew it was fake, because his breathing was still normal and he was still sitting calmly in his seat.
He didn't know what it was, nor had he heard of encountering such a strange phenomenon on the way to Nott, or what the gray fog area was.
At this moment, the sounds inside the cabin had become very lively, and Cen Yu could tell that the lights inside the cabin were no longer on.
I don't know how much time passed...
The broadcast started—
We have passed through the 3-2 fog zone. Now everyone can open their eyes and rest for a bit.
Cen Yu remained motionless, as he could sense that the lights inside the cabin had not been turned on.
About half an hour later, as the cabin lights gradually came on, the announcement came on again—
Reach out and touch the nearby porthole. If the shield opens, it means you have passed through the gray fog 3-2 area. Once you are sure you are safe, you can open your eyes.
