Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

"You damn dog, what's your name?"

Jiang Shi kicked the mining dog/mechanical dog.

Seeing this, Guo Wanxing smiled and said, "Jiang Shi, why are you getting angry at a mechanical dog?"

Where?

Jiang denied it, walked to the cabin door, grasped the handle, and turned it forcefully.

The hatch opened to one side.

White light shone into the cabin. There was no sun in the sky, so the reason for the distinction between day and night was unknown.

The two people and the dog stepped out of the cabin and looked around.

Then, they all froze, as if on cue.

At this moment, they are at the bottom center of a huge, deep pit!

The edge of the pit is steep, and the pit wall is estimated to be at least ten meters high, and it is charred black.

The sky was hazy, filled with dust that obscured the clouds.

Lifeless, nothing at all.

The entire environment was empty, deathly silent, and extremely oppressive.

A cold wind swirled at the bottom of the pit, emitting a low, mournful howl.

The black ash swirls up, forming small gusts of wind.

"Ah, this..."

Jiang Shi stared at the deep pit before him, his mouth slightly agape, speechless for a moment.

Guo Wanxing also subconsciously took a step closer to Jiang Shi.

"Xiao Ai!"

Jiang Shi snapped out of his daze. "What's going on?!"

"Beep beep beep, I don't know."

"have no idea?!"

Xiao Ai glared at him, put on a lazy, smug expression, and then spoke:

"Master, I think you've been stunned by the shock. Have you forgotten how you even got here from space?"

"I'll go to hell with your bullshit Xiao Ai!"

"He's getting anxious, someone's getting anxious..."

Jiang Shi rolled his eyes, held his forehead, and almost died on the spot, as if he couldn't catch his breath.

Seeing that Jiang Shi was about to start arguing again, Guo Wanxing quickly stepped in to smooth things over, smiling helplessly, "Xiao Ai, say less. This is not the time to bicker."

"Yo yo yo..."

Xiao Ai flew to Guo Wanxing's side, circled around two and a half times, squinted her eyes, and said sarcastically, "A wife protecting her husband, Jiang Shi, look at you, you're no good~"

Upon hearing this, Guo Wanxing was not angry at all; her cheeks under the mask were slightly warm, and it was clear that she was smiling faintly.

Jiang Shi was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Xiao Ai, who was stubborn and sharp-tongued, so he could only hold his breath.

"I really..."

"Woof woof..."

With nowhere to vent his frustration, Jiang heard dogs barking, so he raised his foot, only to feint a kick at the mining dogs or mechanical dogs.

"Scream, scream, scream! What are you yelling for?"

The mining machine was kicked and stumbled, but didn't stop.

It quickly turned its head again, facing the bottom of the pit, and barked three times, "Woof, woof, woof..."

Instead of circling around the river, he jogged a few steps in that direction and then stopped.

It turned back to the river and called out again, then continued running forward, stopping after a while and turning back to call out again.

"Um?"

This unusual behavior immediately alerted Jiang Shi, who became serious. "Xiao Ai, has this dog discovered something?"

When it comes to serious matters, Xiao Ai can still distinguish between small and large, and instantly switches to a serious expression: "Master, the mining dog machine should have detected minerals. Follow it."

"mine!"

Jiang Shi's eyes lit up.

All mineral resources are precious, but we don't need them now. What about in the future?

He didn't want to miss out.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, he looked at Guo Wanxing and said, "Wanxing, we need to be careful and alert to our surroundings."

Guo Wanxing nodded, took out the Thunder Spine Whip, and held it tightly in his hand.

Jiang Shi then drew his 30-meter telescopic laser sword.

It was held in my hand but not activated immediately.

And so, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, followed behind the mining dog machinery...

The scorched, loose soil beneath our feet left deep footprints with every step, raising a few specks of black ash.

The surroundings were flat and quiet, with a cold wind howling, making a sound like ghostly wailing...

Both remained silent, neither daring to relax for a moment.

Half an hour later.

Finally, they emerged from the deep pit and stopped at the foot of the hill, in front of a relatively flat, charred rock face.

Outside the pit, there was also an endless expanse of scorched blackness.

The earth was cracked, and as far as the eye could see, there was no green to be seen.

Only the distant, shadowy outlines of bare, black mountains remain.

The sky was murky, the air was dry, and the wind was stronger.

In the distance, black dust and sand, a moving black mist, were clearly visible.

At this moment, the mining dog was barking urgently at the dark opening in the rock wall, its front paws scratching at the ground.

"Quiet!" Jiang Shi looked down at the mining dog machinery and commanded.

It was obvious that the dark cave entrance before them was the destination of their journey.

The opening is about 10 meters wide and about 5 to 6 meters high, but the depth is unknown.

It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything.

This cave could easily be described as the entrance to a karst cave.

Looking at the bottomless, pitch-black cave entrance, Jiang Shi hesitated.

Should we go straight in? The risks are unknown.

What lies hidden within this environment? No one knows.

Even when playing games, you know to check bushes; you shouldn't risk your life, especially now.

It's not that he's afraid to take risks; he only has one life, and if he uses it all, he'll die.

Moreover, if I were alone, I might give it a try after weighing the options.

But with Guo Wanxing right beside him, he dared not gamble.

If there is real danger inside, the two of them may not be able to escape unscathed.

"Jiang Shi, shall we go in?"

Guo Wanxing's voice came through the communication device, sounding somewhat tense.

She noticed Jiang Shi's hesitation, but didn't urge him. She simply stood a step behind him.

He gripped the Thunder Spine Whip tightly in his hand, his gaze fixed intently on the dark cave entrance.

Jiang Shi stared at the cave entrance, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated and didn't know what to say.

To go in, or not to go in?

In those few silent seconds, Jiang Shi's gaze swept over the mining machine at his feet, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"Fix the dog!"

A name that was chosen temporarily.

"Go in and take a look!"

Upon hearing the command, Xiu Gou's eyes lit up, and two beams of light shot out.

Suddenly, it illuminated a small section of the rock face ahead.

Then it started trotting along on its mechanical legs.

The figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness and gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Xiao Ai," Jiang Shi asked immediately.

"Could you share the footage seen during the dog repair?"

"The owner is dreaming. This dog repair doesn't have this function. I can only read and analyze it when it comes back."

Jiang Shi was speechless for a moment, and was about to complain when Xiao Ai changed the subject:

"However, Master, please look up."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing looked up at the gray sky together.

A figure flew towards them; it was one of the two remaining drones.

"I took the initiative to move one drone over, while leaving the other near the fighter jets and spacecraft to continue surveillance."

"How about that? Was I being prepared?"

"Go, follow behind Xiu Gou, and keep your distance."

Jiang Shi didn't have time to praise her; he immediately gave the order.

The drone emitted a soft buzz as it flew into the cave entrance, chasing after Xiu Gou.

Soon, a window popped up in the corner of the display screen inside Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing's helmets.

This is real-time footage taken by a drone.

"Xiao Ai, it has to be you."

"That's right!"

Xiao Ai accepted it without hesitation.

Jiang Shi ignored her and carefully pulled Guo Wanxing behind a protruding, charred rock on the side of the cave entrance, where they squatted down.

Most of their attention was focused on the images transmitted by the drone.

The scene begins with deep darkness, with only the area in front illuminated by Xiu Gou.

The passageway was wide, with rock walls.

Black, pitch black, the space is slowly expanding...

Quiet, everything seemed normal, nothing special.
