“Mai Di, Mai Di, something bad is happening. Little Zhu and his friends dragged a weird thing back.” A dwarf less than a meter tall flew over to him.
Yes, he flew.
His legs were not on the floor at all.
The dwarf hugged Mai Di’s leg. “Hurry up and go over.”
Mai Di’s mouth corners twitched. He gritted his teeth. “I knew that I shouldn’t have let them leave.”
Mai Di bowed at Ming Shu. “Zone Leader, I will go and take a look.”
Ming Shu rushed off hurriedly with the dwarf. She was bored anyway so she went over too.
Curly Hair brought back something that looked like a cryo-chamber. It looked old.
It seemed to have been produced a long time ago.
Curly Hair and Little Zhu worked together to push the cryo-chamber down. The sloppy man hugged his cat and slowly followed them from behind.
“What is this?” Mai Di had already rushed up. “Didn’t I tell you all not to bring anything back to the squadron? What is this thing!!”
“My dear Mai Di, don’t be angry. You will get wrinkles if you get angry. Look, you already have so many wrinkles,” Curly Hair said politely, but his words made Mai Di kick him.
Curly Hair removed his hand. Little Zhu couldn’t hold the weight on his own and the cryo-chamber slid down a distance. It bumped into the big-sized maintenance machine.
Boom—
The cryo-chamber was old and dilapidated so the collision caused its outer metal skin to drop a little.
Curly Hair hurriedly ran back and took a look. Then, he looked at Mai Di. “My dear Mai Di, you will never find a partner if you continue to be so violent.”
Mai Di kicked Curly Hair again.
Curly Hair quickly called Little Zhu and the two of them picked up the cryo-chamber and ran away from the other side.
–
There was a person in the cryo-chamber.
The person was handsome.
He wore a pure white shirt as he lay quietly in the cryo-chamber. He seemed to be asleep.
Ming Shu bent over and looked at the person inside. “Is he dead?”
“Nope.” Curly Hair pointed at the jumping line on the cryo-chamber. “If he was dead, we would not spend so much effort to bring him back. What did the old zone leader always say…”
“Saving a person is more important than building a seven-story pagoda,” Little Zhu continued for him.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Curly Hair nodded. He suddenly gave Ming Shu a shy smile. “We want to be good people too.”
Ming Shu turned her head and looked at Little Zhu. “Did he forget to take his medicine?”
“Hahaha, he never took any medicine.”
“You are looking for death!”
“Aiyo, let me go. You are making me bald!!”
Curly Hair and Little Zhu started fighting again.
The sloppy man with the cat suddenly came over. “He seems to be dying.”
The line on the cryo-chamber was going down.
Curly Hair immediately let go of Little Zhu and did something to the cryo-chamber. After a while, he said with a disappointed face, “He needs the genetic revival serum.”
“What do we do now?” Little Zhu asked.
Curly Hair did a weird praying stance. “Pray.”
After praying, Curly Hair sighed. “We saved him for nothing.”
“Zone Leader, what are you doing!” Little Zhu suddenly shouted.
Ming Shu took a saw and was aiming it at the cryo-chamber.
“Hold it, Zone Leader!” Curly Hair shouted. “I will open it, don’t be rash, put it down. Put it down!”
“Didn’t you say you can’t open it?”
Curly Hair coughed. “I thought of a way just now.”
“You all saved him because of this cryo-chamber, right?” Mai Di watched them and exposed Curly Hair and his friends.
“Dear Mai Di, you are very irritating.”
Mai Di: “…”
Ming Shu: “…” Demons are so scary. Where are my snacks!
Curly Hair did something on the cryo-chamber again. It was quite troublesome. The line almost flattened.
Ka—
Ding—
Two sounds rang out at the same time.
A white mist came out of the cryo-chamber and the door slowly opened. Cold air flowed out from within.
Little Zhu had found a medical kit and took some things out. He stabbed it into the person.
Just as the syringe was about to enter the person’s body, a white hand suddenly grabbed Little Zhu’s wrist. The syringe was just barely touching the person’s clothes.
Little Zhu tilted his head and said to him, “You just woke up inside a cryo-chamber. You need to be injected with this genetic revival serum.”
The person lowered his hand.
Little Zhu injected the serum into the person’s skin and then got up smoothly.
Curly Hair grabbed the person’s elbow and got him out of the chamber.
The person was already fully awake now. His eyes were half-open and his breathing was inconsistent. There was no sign of blood on his face. It was like a pure white piece of jade.
He was so weak he could shatter if they used more force on him.
Curly Hair released his hand suddenly and the person slowly fell down.
Ming Shu reached out and caught him. He had no weight at all. Ming Shu felt that she was holding a bunch of cottons.
Shan Yin walked up. He was worried. They were not sure about the background of this person and didn’t know if he had anything strange about him.
“Zone Leader, we are leaving. This human is your present.”
Curly Hair and Little Zhu pushed the cryo-chamber away and left in a hurry. The sloppy man saw them running away and slowly followed them.
Everyone: “…”
“Is the cryo-chamber special?” Ming Shu turned and asked Shan Yin.
Shan Yin shook his head. “I am not sure. However… if they dragged it back from outside, it should be special.
“Cough, cough, cough…” The person that Ming Shu was holding onto suddenly started coughing violently.
“Take him for an examination.” Ming Shu passed the person to Shan Yin.
“Yes.”
–
There was nothing wrong with the person. His body was normal and after being injected with the genetic revival serum, his strength started coming back.
However, this person never spoke. He just stared at his surroundings quietly.
Ming Shu stood outside the glass and looked at the person inside. “Shan Yin, do you find this person familiar?”
Shan Yin was puzzled. “Have you seen this person before?”
Ming Shu carefully reviewed the Host’s memory. There was no sign of this person inside the Host’s memory. She just found him familiar.
“I asked Little Zhu just now. This cryo-chamber was found on the outskirts of the battleground. Coincidentally, it was found at the place where we experienced the magnetic interference. It might be the source of the magnetic interference so it transitioned with us.”
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. “You mean that the cryo-chamber can release magnetic waves that are able to affect a spaceship?”
“Zone Leader, they valued the cryo-chamber highly.” Shan Yin reminded her.
If there was nothing special about the chamber, they would not care so much about it.
“Zone Leader, he is okay. However, he needs to recuperate for some time before recovering completely. He was kept in the cryo-chamber for too long so his reactions are a little slow.” The people inside came out and reported to Ming Shu.
“Kept inside for too long? How long?”
The other party told her a safe number. “At least 50 years.”
The average lifespan of the Interstellar was 400 years. Some could live till 500 or even 600 years old. On average, they would turn into adults at 100 years.
Hence, 50 years was not a very long time.
“Mai Di, Mai Di, something bad is happening. Little Zhu and his friends dragged a weird thing back.” A dwarf less than a meter tall flew over to him.
