Chapter 162 -163: Strange Light Spots

Amid various wild thoughts, Zhang Yuan never felt time pass so slowly, although the speed of the orbital train wasn’t actually slow, it now seemed as slow as a snail.

Over 10 minutes later, the train finally arrived at its destination,

due to the rupture of several rooms on the periphery of the Circular Living Area, the center of gravity was unbalanced, and the centrifuge’s movement wasn’t as smooth as before, the subtle vibrations were coming from the central axis. Here, they could be felt even more distinctly.

Zhang Yuan quickly ran to the control room and shouted loudly, “You need to hurry to the hibernation area and wake up Captain Zhao and the others… including all the spaceship maintenance personnel! You know who’s on the emergency list, right?”

“Captain Zhang… I need authorization,” said the staff member, already sweating profusely from hearing about the accident.

“I’ll do it.” Zhang Yuan strode forward, took a deep breath, and entered a string of passwords into the main control system, while speaking very quickly, “Then get the maintenance materials out of the warehouse as quickly as possible… there might be a lot, so get ready.”

“Don’t panic, as long as the spaceship hasn’t disintegrated, there won’t be a big problem.”

“Yes!” Amidst the chaos, the group finally found their backbone and dashed out.

The rotational speed of the centrifuge remained the same as before, and Zhang Yuan was considering whether to reduce the spin speed a little to reduce the wear caused by the unbalanced center of gravity.

But after careful consideration, he decided against it. The entire centrifuge’s rotation was already slow, and if they completely lost artificial gravity, a large number of items in the living area, including liquid water, would all float up, causing immeasurable danger and loss.

As he contemplated this, Zhang Yuan quickly took the elevator, racing toward Zone M.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he immediately felt gusts of strong wind that pulled at his entire body and propelled him forward. The wind was like a typhoon, and with the lowered gravity, his body was almost sucked away by it.

That must be the direction of the rupture!

A massive amount of helium had escaped, leaking thousands of tons of material in an instant, and Zhang Yuan felt a painful twinge in his heart. Even though this random accident was beyond human control, he still felt some regret.

Regret wasn’t very useful. Zhang Yuan just hoped that before the main team awoke, he could minimize the damage. The current population awake was just over six hundred and simply wasn’t enough to handle such a major accident. It would take a week for the bulk of the crew to wake up and recover.

Along the way, he issued orders non-stop: “Lin Xuanyuan, you guys take care of the people in the Hospital… Yes, don’t come over here to crowd… The awakening from hibernation relies on you. We need to wake up three to five thousand people at least.”

“Wang Chuan, Li Chen… you two maintain order and close the gates around the nodes near Zone M.”

A few minutes later, a continuous stream of reports came through the headset, and as the airpressure doors closed one by one, the force of the wind began to diminish significantly.

Another minute passed, and Zhang Yuan had reached the front line. He stood in front of the last gate and anxiously asked, “What happened exactly? Sunlight shouldn’t have caused a hole to break in the hull, right? Didn’t you say the highest temperature was only 600 degrees?”

The room he was currently standing in was already a vacuum, with all the air sucked out by pumps, and everyone was wearing space suits and communicating through headsets.

“It seems something hit the spaceship, there aren’t any eyewitnesses on the scene.” The soldier shook his head and said with a frown, “I saw a light spot come in through the surveillance, don’t know if it was a meteorite or something else. But the cameras got destroyed by the strong radiation shortly after…”

“Any casualties?” Zhang Yuan asked again.

“None for the moment, there was no one in Zone M, and no one got sucked out into space.”

“That’s a relief.”

Zhang Yuan sighed with relief; no casualties was probably the best news amidst the mishap.

He squinted his eyes as the electronic screen on the wrist of his space suit kept flashing, playing surveillance from about fifteen minutes earlier.

The surveillance footage showed a firefly-sized light spot suddenly piercing through the hull, creating a large hole. Immediately after, the screen shook even more violently, filled with static, and then turned pitch black.

“A meteorite?” Zhang Yuan frowned, “A meteorite the size of a fingertip… just happened to scrape the spaceship?”

“Ah!”

All of a sudden, the soldier standing opposite him widened his eyes as if he had seen something unimaginable, letting out an involuntary cry.

Seeing his terrified expression, Zhang Yuan hurriedly turned his head.

His pupils, too, suddenly contracted.

This was…

What?

A speck of light, the size of a firefly, unexpectedly appeared at the gate that had been firmly sealed.

In that instant, a neat, circular hole appeared right in the center of the gate!

He didn’t know what this firefly-sized thing was, but he felt an instinctual sense of crisis. A strong suction force was insanely pulling his body toward the light!

“Grab onto the surroundings, don’t get sucked in!”

Zhang Yuan yelled, forcefully stepping back, but due to the extremely low gravity and insufficient friction, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

However, the closest soldier was too slow to react, letting out a terrified scream as he was sucked in alive.

What happened next was even more astonishing…

In just a blink of an eye, this poor guy seemed to suddenly drop into another surface of water!

And the part that fell into the “water” instantaneously displayed endless information!

Zhang Yuan’s eyes bulged, seemingly incredulous, and at that moment, he could even see the soldier’s skeleton, muscles, beating heart, and flowing blood!

Then, after letting out one last scream, the soldier disappeared…

A…

Black Hole?

He didn’t know whether he was hallucinating or what was happening, but the sweat on his back had soaked through his clothes, and the sense of crisis had intensified to the extreme. Zhang Yuan struggled to get his brain working. He shouted into his headset: “Run! Run!”

In the next instant, the firefly-sized speck of light started moving languidly again!

It didn’t move fast and seemed to drift randomly through space. But another soldier was already paralyzed with nerves, struggling to run and crawl a few steps, and then, under the powerful attraction, was pulled in again.

The same scene unfolded the next second.

The soldier’s organs seemed to display themselves entirely in front of Zhang Yuan, creating an eerily bizarre spectacle.

Then, this soldier also disappeared.

Vanished into thin air!

With goosebumps all over, Zhang Yuan uncontrollably staggered backward.

He didn’t know what this speck of light was, only knowing it most likely wasn’t a black hole. Because a black hole couldn’t display such bizarre traits. A black hole with strong gravity would have devoured the entire spaceship by now, and one with weak gravity wouldn’t be able to consume a person so quickly, nor would it likely cause such a strange phenomenon…

“Escape, hurry and escape!”
