Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1417 - 704: Infiltrating the Dreadnought! (3)

Below, the alien invaders who had been gathered together discussing something now all turned to look in the direction of Xu Xin and his group.

Although these alien invaders had eyes all over their bodies capable of seeing in every direction, you could still tell when they focused on one particular direction.

All their eyes turned towards them, densely packed, thousands of eyes...

It was truly a bit creepy.

"Eek..." Keke shrank into Xu Xin’s arms.

Ever since coming here, he had become much more well-behaved.

"Have they discovered us...?" Xu Ying whispered.

"We need to leave now...!" Li Wenxi said anxiously.

"It’s okay, they’re probably not looking at us," Xu Xin patted Li Wenxi’s hand, "They were discussing capturing a prisoner earlier. And that prisoner is somewhere inside this giant ship now."

"Ah... That creature did mention earlier that it wanted to check this giant ship," Xu Ying understood.

"But... they’ve already boarded!" Li Wenxi pointed below.

Indeed, those alien invaders had boarded the hatch of the giant ship and were heading inside.

And just as they all stepped onto the hatch, the ground shook under Xu Xin and the others’ feet.

Then, the hatch, which had been at a thirty-degree incline, began to slowly lift!

"The hatch is closing," Xu Xin realized, then he smiled slightly, "Looks like we’ve come just in time."

"Yeah, if we were a few minutes later, we might not have gotten in," Xu Ying also smiled.

"You two siblings really have no sense of crisis!" Li Wenxi glared at them, pulling each by a hand to hurry them along, "Stop standing around, let’s go!"

The hatch slowly rose, gradually becoming parallel to the ground.

At this point, the three of them had entered inside the hatch.

Unfortunately, inside the hatch, there was a space less than ten meters deep.

And it was blocked by a metal wall.

"Huh? Why is it..." Li Wenxi frowned slightly, then understood, "No wonder this giant ship dared to leave the hatch wide open, as if anyone could enter."

Indeed, anyone could enter.

But only into this space that wasn’t even ten meters deep.

Xu Xin looked back.

The hatch behind them had been lifted high, probably at a thirty-degree angle upwards by now.

And the alien invaders on the hatch were...

Rolling towards them like round, black balls!

Their eyes were closed to facilitate rolling on the slowly ascending hatch.

"Let’s hide!"

Xu Xin pulled the two females to the edge.

Then, they watched as the alien invaders rolled one by one into the space.

Some alien invaders, upon stopping, stretched out their bodies and opened their eyes.

While others, seemingly novices, couldn’t stop after rolling into the space and continued rolling a few more meters forward.

Some even directly crashed into the metal wall ten meters ahead, causing their bodies to splatter before slowly opening their eyes and letting out unpleasant wails.

Those who stopped early extended a tentacle from their bodies, pointing at the ones who crashed into the wall and emitting a headache-inducing sound.

It seemed to be... laughter.

For a moment, the scene was extremely cheerful.

But for Xu Xin and his group, it was anything but cheerful.

Their faces turned grim as they covered their ears.

"Ugh... That laughter is truly unpleasant..."

Xu Ying whispered.

Her voice was drowned out by the chaotic laughter and swearing, and even though the nearest alien invader was only a few meters away, it didn’t draw any attention.

But Xu Xin still gently tapped her head and gestured "Shh——."

This space was tall, as tall as the hatch.

The hatch was quite long.

Even when set back down at a thirty-degree angle with the ground, it served as a ramp for this fifty-meter-high ship entry.

It’s about a hundred meters high when you do the math.

But the space was very narrow.

Just under twenty meters wide.

The depth was only ten meters.

In this small space, there were nearly fifty alien invaders now.

If they were discovered, there would be nowhere to hide!

Escaping was easy; Xu Ying could just teleport them away.

But if they escaped, entering the giant ship would become a problem!

Because Xu Ying could only teleport to places she’s been before.

They hadn’t truly entered the giant ship yet, and if they teleported away now, coming back would only mean returning to this closed, narrow space.

Then they couldn’t get in!

Xu Ying stuck out her tongue and fell silent.

Li Wenxi observed the surrounding alien invaders.

She noticed that each alien invader seemed to have... a metal card.

The material seemed identical to the ship’s hull.

"Could it be something like an employee ID?"

She wondered to herself.

"We might need to steal one..."

It might come in handy inside the ship.

At that moment, one of the alien invaders extended its tentacle, with its metal card in hand.

"This is..."

Xu Xin and Xu Ying immediately noticed the card.

This alien invader moved to the wall and placed the card on the surface.

Immediately, red ripples spread out from where the card touched the wall!

The light red liquid-like trails crawling over the metal wall started spreading outward like water ripples.

And then the metal wall changed,

The smooth metal wall began to recede inward from where the card touched, contracting outward as well.

Soon, a doorway appeared in front of this alien invader.

It felt like when playing a pixel game, carving a hole out of the wall.

Around the opening were angled edges, made of small metal blocks.

The alien invader stood by the entrance and extended a tentacle, pointing inside.

It was indicating for other alien invaders to go in first.

Other alien invaders also started moving, climbing one by one through the doorway.

Xu Xin immediately pointed at the opening.

"Let’s go in too," he mouthed silently.

The two women nodded.

The alien invaders suddenly became quite orderly, even forming a line, entering the doorway one after another.

The little guy poked its head out, watching the line of alien invaders.

For Xu Xin and his group, blending in was easy.

The doorway wasn’t small, at least three meters wide, and the line of alien invaders couldn’t block it.

They sidestepped the aliens, turned sideways, and moved just a meter away from the line, holding their breath, step by step sneaking in.

Just as Xu Xin, who was at the front, entered through the doorway, an accident occurred.

Suddenly, the wall with liquid red ripples burst into motion, and then green light flashed!

And at the same time, an unpleasant alarm sounded!

"————!————!————!"

The exclusive green alert color flashed from all directions, turning the previously red surroundings completely green!

Xu Xin grabbed Li Wenxi and Xu Ying behind him, quickly passing through the doorway!

Then, they saw the doorway behind them quickly closing, countless metal blocks filling in the gaps, turning the wall back into a smooth surface in less than two seconds.

The three of them knew that this alarm...

Was triggered by them three!

They had to be careful!
