Chapter 25 “Nepenthes”

The world... has been completely turned upside down.

Yan Jingxing felt that he was gradually being swallowed by a huge whirlpool, and he completely lost consciousness in the horrible feeling of drowning that was difficult to escape. When he woke up, he felt that he was being spit out by the whirlpool.

Dazzling flashes, violent vibrations... everything was emerging like a sudden storm, and soon the clouds stopped and the rain stopped. His eyes were closed tightly, and he was not allowed to move his eyes until the surroundings calmed down.

"Um...what, what..."

He subconsciously opened his mouth, but he could only make muffled sounds; at the same time, it became difficult to open his eyelids, as if they were stuck with glue.

This feeling is as if the whole person has been thrown into a pool filled with maltose, and the whole body is covered with sticky and sticky stuff.

Yan Jingxing stopped struggling, gathered strength, silently chanted "Three, two, one!" in his heart, and then tried his best to twist his hands and feet.

"Drink!"

He struggled to get rid of everything on his body and opened his eyes at the same time.

"What...what is this...?"

Yan Jingxing looked at his body in surprise. Blood-red silk threads stuck to his naked skin. They showed amazing elasticity with just a little force; and even after breaking free, they still seemed to be alive.

Encouraging...

No, not "like"!

He took a deep breath. He was surrounded by a narrow, dark space, so he could clearly hear his heartbeat. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the beating frequency of these threads was consistent with his own heartbeat...

These things are like muscles, or at least some kind of living tissue.

He looked around, and he seemed to be in a life-support capsule. There were white solids on both sides that looked like human ribs, which were slowly shrinking back.

Was this what restricted his movements just now?

Bones, flesh and blood——

Where is he?

Yan Jingxing knocked on his forehead, and the memories before coma returned like a tide.

By the way, they got on the UFO in the secret base in the cave, and then there was a flash of light and violent vibrations...

Then, he appeared here.

This place is obviously not the original UFO cabin. Coupled with the strange loud noise, could it be said that——

Yan Jingxing's heart started pounding again.

Successed? Successed like this? He has now been transferred to an alien planet?

Obviously the UFO was not powered on, and they did not touch any device, but it could be started directly as long as a person sits in it. What the hell is this principle...

No, now is not the time to think about this, he did not come alone!

"Chun Zao! Xie Yuzhi! Are you there? Can you hear me?"

He shouted loudly, but did not receive any response. The shouts echoed in the narrow and dark cabin, which seemed unusually empty.

"Ji Chunzao! Captain!"

Yan Jingxing tried shouting several more times, but the result was the same.

"Oh no, I have to get out of here!"

He became anxious and looked forward.

There, there was a row of small zigzag gaps, from which faint light was projected.

Yan Jingxing put his hands on it, inserted his fingers into the gap, and then exerted force with both arms.

"Hey!"

Just like the gears that were not fully engaged were separated by human hands, with the sharp and ear-piercing sound, the falling light became more and more intense; the blood-red threads were stuck between the gaps, but they were finally loosened.

He fell forward involuntarily, got out naked, and lay on the ground.

Yan Jingxing took a breath of outside air, and then found that the "ground" was also a bit strange. The touch on his palms was soft and slightly elastic.

He observed carefully for a while. The ground looked like some kind of carpet, covered with a layer of fluff; and underneath the fluff was some kind of weird metal - it looked like living flesh and blood, but it actually felt cold and hard.

, like a combination of the two.

Yan Jingxing stood up unsteadily and looked around at the walls and the ceiling above his head...

This fifty-square-meter room is entirely made of muscle tissue that resembles peeled skin.

Everywhere he saw were strange colors, which made him feel dazed for a while; if he stared for a long time, he would also be confused as to whether they were moving.

"What the hell is this place?"

Yan Jingxing murmured to himself.

He felt as if he had entered the abdominal cavity of a huge animal, and this room was its stomach that was squirming in hunger.

Turning around again, I saw that the place I came out of was a pod. It looked like a pitcher plant with a closed lid. It was also made of flesh-like metal machinery, but the surface was also covered with a light yellow layer.

fascia;

After he forcefully opened the "cage lid" and drilled it out, the gap in the "nepenthes" only lasted for a few seconds, and then automatically closed and sealed.

There is more than one strange device with this shape. There are three "nepenthes" in total, distributed in different corners of the oval room.

The remaining two stations were still not turned on. Seeing this scene, Yan Jingxing immediately felt that he knew what was going on.

He quickly ran to one of them, smashed the outer wall of the pitcher plant device with his fist, and shouted into the gap:

"Ji Chunzao! Xie Yuzhi! Can you hear me?"

Still no reply.

He gritted his teeth, placed his hands on the gap, and began to open it with force.

Yan Jingxing didn't know if it could be opened from the outside, but he had to try. Fortunately, as he tried his best, the gap did open up little by little...

…

"Thank you Yuzhi! Thank you Yuzhi!"

Someone is calling her name.

The sound seemed to come from a very far away place.

The girl frowned, as if she felt that her deep sleep was being disturbed, so she felt a little annoyed.

But despite the man's tireless repeated shouting, her consciousness still took over her body again, and her soul seemed to rise from the dark abyss and surface.

Xie Yuzhi's fingers trembled and curled up slightly.

It's as if I still miss the feeling of holding each other's hands before everything happened.

Then, her hand was gently held.

The voice in my ears finally became clear.

"Xie Yuzhi, are you okay?"

A familiar voice sounded in my ears with concern.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the girl finally slowly opened her eyes.

The light from the outside world fell on her face as lightly as a feather.

What caught Xie Yuzhi's eyes was a strange narrow space, and Yan Jingxing standing in front of him, looking at him happily.

She stared at his face blankly.

Then, his eyes moved downward unconsciously——

It’s his posture as naked as a newborn baby…

But the problem is that in many ways, he's not a baby.

"..."

Xie Yuzhi lowered her eyes in silence.

"Uh... Xie Yuzhi?"

The girl took a deep breath and hit the boy in front of her with a hard headbutt.

"Whoaaah!"

"Go get dressed quickly!"

*

Yan Jingxing was completely unaware that he was naked before being taught a lesson by Miss Xie with the "rocket headbutt".

It should be said that the strange situation and strange environment immediately deprived him of the space to think about other unimportant things.
