“Speed up to maximum, now,” Apple said suddenly.
Wesley did not dare to be negligent. He controlled the space gem and integrated it into the front of the flying shuttle. There was an energy-emission device here. Then a blue energy ray was fired and hit the front. The energy output was huge. Wesley did not dare to be careless. If the energy was not enough, then it might not be possible to complete the process of crossing. And the device began to record the output power of the energy.
Boom! It was as if an invisible wall had been hit in front of them. Then, a gap appeared, and the flying shuttle passed through it in an instant. A tunnel appeared. This tunnel was not long, and the speed of the flying shuttle was only a few seconds.
As soon as the flying shuttle passed through the tunnel, the momentum suddenly stopped, and the flying shuttle slowed down for a moment, but inertia still kept it moving forward, and the front was full of trees, and the flying shuttle kept hitting.
He could not maintain his flying posture. In such a high-speed flight, the flying shuttle was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting the trees. These trees were not small trees, but towering trees with dense crowns.
Boom! The shuttle came to a stop. After losing power, inertia had not lasted long, but it was now gliding more than a thousand meters. It would have been farther without the trees in the way. Wesley was fine. There was enough protection and the shuttle was strong enough.
“Phew… Apple, check it out. Why did we suddenly lose power?” Wesley asked directly. The situation outside is unknown and we need to wait before going out to take a look.
“It can’t be detected. All the equipment and wires have no power and are not activated. They are completely turned off. It seems to be… I’m not sure. We need to go out and take a look.” Apple didn’t know what had happened. Wesley adjusted his space suit and found that it was not damaged. He manually turned on the oxygen breathing switch. Fortunately, this was not an electronic device. Then he manually opened the door.
He put away the flying shuttle and observed the situation here.
They were in the woods, the green woods, and there were towering trees everywhere. If the shuttle hadn’t hit a lot of trees, it would have been hard for the sun to shine through. Sunlight? There was sun here, too, so they could probably breathe. Wesley carefully opened his helmet and breathed in gently. It felt good…
“The air here is very good. It’s extremely comfortable to breathe it,” Wesley and Apple said.
“I checked the gas that entered your body after you breathed. The oxygen content is sufficient, and there are a lot of elements. There are no known components of poison gas, and there are no components that are harmful to the body.” After Apple’s analysis, Wesley put away his space suit and took out his pistol. This was in case he needed it. After all, it was too quiet here.
That’s right, it was quiet. With such good air and such a dense forest, it was impossible for there to be no living creatures. Moreover, there was no sound at all from the huge commotion just now. It was too strange.
The pistol was loaded and there was a click. Wesley looked at the pistol in surprise. He had not pulled the barrel sleeve. How could this happen? Then he pushed again. The barrel sleeve seemed to be stuck and he could not pull it no matter what.
Wesley’s eyebrows rose. “Apple, it seems that nothing related to technology can be used, even pistols. This problem is a little strange.” Wesley raised his left hand, which was wearing a purely handmade machine watch. This one was still walking around. “It’s strange that the watch is fine!”
“Restricting technological products? This is really strange. It seems that it’s either high technology or a high magic world. You need to be careful,” said Apple.
“Got it. Let’s take a look at the forest first.” Wesley put away the pistol. This can’t be used, so it’s just a piece of scrap iron. He took out two daggers, then looked in the direction of the sun, determined the coordinates, and walked in a direction.
The huge trees were too tall, and Wesley had not walked far before the sun became difficult to see. Moreover, the surroundings were too quiet, which made him uneasy. “How many space barriers have we passed through?”
“One. We have only broken through one spatial barrier. This can be confirmed and inferred according to the resistance. Moreover, the energy you used can only break through one barrier. However, we still need to see the details. After all, this is the first time we have taken the initiative to pass through. The equipment can’t be used now and the records can’t be retrieved.”
“The problem is huge. If the equipment can’t be pulled out, then aren’t we trapped here?”
“We can only take it one step at a time. Now, we need to understand the specific situation here. We originally transmigrated to a parallel world, and this place should be more like the Amazing Universe, but now it seems that our understanding is very likely to be wrong, or that parallel worlds have different development directions. Now, everything is unknown.”
Wesley didn’t need much more. For now, the main thing he needed to know was what kind of world this was. He took the dagger and moved on. He was now wearing a tight suit made of space material, which made it convenient to wear spacesuits. It was light and durable, and he had no problem walking in the woods.
Along the way, Wesley observed the surrounding traces. There were animal paw prints and excrement, but they seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. This worried him. Was there a huge threat nearby?
At the same time, Wesley felt something staring at him, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not find it. This made him feel even more terrified. It had been a long time since he had felt like this. He continued on nervously. It was still the woods. He did not know where he was going. Or was he going the wrong way, or was he lost?
“Are we lost?” Wesley asked Apple.
“No, we have been moving in one direction. According to the growth of the trees, we are not lost. The direction has been forward.” Apple confirmed.
“Then after walking for a few hours, there are still towering trees. It can only mean that there are too many trees here and the forest is too big. Moreover, the direction we chose is unknown. Let’s go up and take a look.” With that, Wesley changed his clothes, this time with field equipment to facilitate climbing trees.
Wesley looked up, then chose a large tree and began to climb. Professional tools made it much easier for him. Safety ropes were constantly hung up. Wesley climbed all the way up and directly above the canopy. The big trees here were very thick even with their branches, and they could lift Wesley’s body.
“No way?” Wesley finally saw the sun again, but it seemed that the sun was going to set. Now it was fiery red. Wesley caught the afterglow of the sunset and looked around. There were treetops everywhere. He couldn’t see the end at a glance. He couldn’t even see where he landed.
