The escape pod fell rapidly in the universe, and the target destination was planet α-176, which Jiang Pingce had set in advance.
Yue Xingwe sat in the escape pod and looked out the window through the transparent protective shields——
Although the direction and speed of the 12 escape pods were the same when they were ejected, due to the influence of sandstorms and magnetic fields nearby, it was inevitable that the escape ponds would deviate at a certain angle during flight. In the end, even if everyone made a successful landing, they might not be able to land in the same area.
The chat channel was disabled, and other students could not be contacted. The originally clear escape pod in the field of vision gradually turned into more than a dozen black dots, blending into the starry sky of the universe, completely invisible.
The stars twinkled outside the porthole and in the vast starry sky, the tiny escape pod was like a lone and insignificant ant, abandoned by the entire world.
Time passed very slowly, and Yue Xingwen kept staring at the pointer on his bracelet.
It wasn’t until an hour later that the escape pod suddenly received a strong attraction and fell sharply down——
Yue Xingwen hurriedly grabbed the seat belt and pressed down hard on the breathing mask so that the oxygen tube would not fall off.
After the rapid fall lasted for a few minutes, there was a loud ‘bang’ in his ears, and the violent vibration made Yue Xingwen almost vomit, and he forced himself to look out with a feeling of dizziness—— He saw that the escape pod landed on a strange planet, surrounded by dust, and there were strangely shaped reddish-brown rocks everywhere, which looked like flames from a distance.
Not a single animal was to be seen nearby, and there was no sign of a plant.
The surface of the planet was exactly the same as the pictures in the information—— It was the planet α-176 that was closest to the sandstorm.
It seemed that the escape pod landed successfully. This made Yue Xingwen breathe a sigh of relief.
A prompt popped up on the intelligent screen: “The outside temperature has been detected to be 40 degrees Celcius and the oxygen level is 0. The oxygen cylinders in the escape pod have 80% remaining capacity and can be used for 12 hours.”
Yue Xingwen hesitated for a moment and decided to leave the escape pod to find his teammates.
At that time, he and Jiang Pingce’s escape pod was the last to eject, and the other teammates should have landed before both of them. But there was no way to see his teammates in the 100 meter field of view, so there was only one possibility—— Everyone was scattered around when they landed. They must gather immediately.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yue Xingwen opened the hatch of the escape pod from the inside and got out with the oxygen cylinder on his back.

As soon as Yue Xingwen’s feet touched the ground, he heard the ‘zizi’ smoke sound coming out of his shoes. The ground on this planet was not at all suitable for walking on foot. If he continued to walk and did not find his teammates, his feet would probably be roasted directly.
Yue Xingwen evaluated the surrounding environment, and did not hesitate to take out the <Modern Writers’ Classic Anthology>, and read quickly. “In fact, there is no road on the ground, and when there are many people walking, it becomes a road.”
Mr. Lu Xun’s skill could create a road in any environment.
Yue Xingwen was really grateful for this skill and the road he created was no different from the ordinary road in the city, and it was very comfortable to walk on it.
Yue Xingwen thought that if Pingce encountered such an environment, it would be easy, he could just directly write a formula and fly in the air with sine motion, so that his feet would not be burned by the hot rocks on the surface.
If the other students could not withstand the high temperature on the surface, it was best to go back to the escape pod and wait. As long as Ke Shaobin was found, he could lock the coordinates of his teammates through Xiao Tu’s scouting.
At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing climbed out of the escape pod, looked at the surrounding environment, and scolded loudly, “Holy shit! Is this the Flame Mountain?”
His feet were so hot that he couldn’t stand, and he immediately summoned two rolls of gauze with his right hand and wrapped them around his shoes, anyway he couldn’t run out of gauze. With one burned, he would wrap another around him, he could always make it until he rejoined with his teammates.
Liu Zhaoqing scolded while walking forward quickly, and didn’t go far when he saw a few familiar shadows in front of him, jumping around like a cat that had been stepped on painfully.
Liu Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved into the distance. “Xu Yishen!”
Xu Yishen didn’t wrap his feet in gauze, but he had mitosis, and when the body was burned so much that he couldn’t stand it, he immediately split into a new one, and moved forward in such a constant split. Of course, the movements were not good enough, in Liu Zhaoqing’s opinion, it was like several grasshoppers bouncing around.
Xu Yishen also saw senior brother Liu not far away, his originally frowning brows quickly relaxed, and the mitosis teleported to Liu Zhaoqing’s side. After seeing the gauze wrapped around his senior brother’s feet, he squinted his eyes and said unceremoniously, “You can walk ah? Please give me a ride!”
After that, he threw the oxygen bottle to Liu Zhaoqing, then turned into a cell and climbed onto Liu Zhaoqing’s shoulder.
A familiar voice came in his ears: “There are many ways to breathe as a cell, I’m now enabling the ‘anaerobic respiration’ mode, which has a lower capacity but preserves stamina. I will trouble senior brother to carry the oxygen tank first.”
Liu Zhaoqing was helpless. “Okay.”
Anyway, it was not the first time to be a ‘mount’ for Xu Yishen, who had become a cell, had a negligible weight, and it was not a burden for Liu Zhaoqing at all. On the contrary, if Xu Yishen followed him in human form, it would be troublesome for him to constantly change gauze to wrap Xu Yishen’s feet instead.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoqing joked, “Hold on tight, it’s none of my business if you fall and get burned.”
“Then I’m safer staying in your pocket.” Xu Yishen rolled into Liu Zhaoqing’s jacket pocket, saying, “Which direction should we go?”
Liu Zhaoqing looked around. “There is no reference here, and I can’t tell the difference between southeast and northwest. Let’s walk forward first, I think I just saw an escape pod landing in that direction before I landed.”
After Ke Shaobin climbed out of the escape pod, he immediately activated Xiao Tu and asked Xiao Tu to turn on the reconnaissance mode, using the skills of ‘Finding a Friend’ to find teammates within range.
The temperature around him was very high, and he felt that his feet were hot after standing on the ground for a while, and he couldn’t stand at all, but Xiao Tu didn’t have anything abnormal.
When Ke Shaobin moved, he jumped up, riding on Xiao Tu’s neck with his legs apart, patting Xiao Tu’s head and saying, “You carry me forward.”
Xiao Tu: “Master, you should yell: Hyah!”
Ke Shaobin: “…”
This talking ‘Intelligent Mount’ was quite useful, Ke Shaobin suddenly opened a new way of thinking.
Xiao Tu was 1,6 meters tall, and the rollers under his feet were also very flexible, and his speed was almost comparable to that of a 60-horsepower car. Riding on Xiao Tu was not only fast and time saving, but also had a very wide view!
Ke Shaobin rode Xiao Tu all the way to scout, and soon, a small blue dot appeared on the screen. “Found the coordinates of teammates within 500 meters nearby.”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Xiao Tu to walk towards the coordinates. Within a few seconds, he saw an escape pod not far ahead, the door just opened and a tall boy came out of the escape pod. The two looked at each other from a distance, followed closely and a familiar cold voice came from his ears, “You use the robot as a mount?”
“The temperature of the rock on the ground is too high to walk on.” Ke Shaobin pushed his glasses and looked at Xin Yan. “How heavy are you ah? Should both of us be able to sit down on Xiao Tu’s shoulder together?”
“No need, I have another way.”
He saw Xin Yan take out a <Periodic Table>, and quickly tapped a few times on it, then a silver-colored metal powder appeared in his palm. He quickly turned the powder into a thin layer, leaned over and fixed it on the sole of his shoe, and then stood on the red rock with a calm expression.
Ke Shaobin finally reacted and asked, “You’re a heat-resistant metal?”
Xin Yan said in a low voice, “There are many high-temperature resistant metal elements, I just used ‘Tungsten’. This chemical element is very stable, the melting point is more than 3,400 degrees, and the high temperature of dozens of degrees is insignificant to it.”
The metal that could be melted at more than 3,400 degrees was inlaid on the sole, which was equivalent to coating the shoes with a layer of metal protective film, and the feet would of course not be affected by the high temperature.
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “Your <Periodic Table> is really easy to use, you can find any element you want! Later, you can make everyone a pair of heat-resistant metal soles, so we can walk on the hot rock surface.”
Xin Yan nodded and said, “Hurry up and find other classmates. When the oxygen tank is exhausted, humans won’t survive for a minute on this planet.”
Ke Shaobin also realized the seriousness of the problem, and quickly asked Xiao Tu to continue to scout.
After a while, Xiao Tu found three more coordinates, two of which were together and the other in opposite directions. The two who were together were closer to them, and Ke Shaobin told Xin Yan to go and join them, while he rode Xiao Tu and accelerated to slide towards the coordinates of the one who was alone.
After half a minute, Ke Shaobin saw a person appear in his field of vision.
There was red lava everywhere, like a sea of fire, but the road beneath the man’s feet was a wide, flat asphalt road. As he moved forward, the path beneath his feet kept moving forward.
It was true that ‘there was no road on the planet, but Yue Xingwen made a road.’
Yue Xingwen was also overjoyed when he saw Ke Shaobing riding Xiao Tu, and both of them quickly joined. Before Ke Shaobin could speak, Yue Xingwen preemptively asked, “Have you seen any other teammates?”
Ke Shaobin replied, “I just met Xin Yan, there are 2 more coordinates over there and I let Xin Yan find them. At present, with you, only 5 people have been found nearby.”
Yue Xingwen looked at the time on the bracelet, and said, “According to the time calculation, everyone should have landed, and the others might be in other areas.” He paused and said decisively, “It’s 8 o’clock in the morning. We must find all our teammates before 8 o’clock tonight! Let’s go, hurry up and carpet search.”
Oh no they got separated 😩 hoping for a smooth connection, this instance has me nervous 😂
Thank you for translating 🫶
I love how they all have their own ways of surviving so far. Most worried for sister Lan right now
Thanks for the translation
