"The Lucky One" Riley

Now, even without direct contact, everyone was certain that the other party had ill intentions and was definitely not there to rescue anyone.

After all, putting aside the possibility that such reckless behavior might cause the spaceship to fall into the water...

In the event of an emergency landing, a spacecraft that has suffered a violent impact is highly likely to be facing a fuel leak crisis.

In this situation, let alone a violent impact from the outside.

Even the smallest spark could trigger a violent explosion!

By then, putting everything else aside...

Anyone near the spaceship, or even the citizens within a radius of several kilometers, will instantly become "acquaintances," and none of them will survive!

"That madman...does he even know what he's doing?! Is he treating New York like Hiroshima?!"

That's why, to Riley's utter surprise, Hulk failed to kill him and almost died unwittingly at the hands of this idiot, turning Riley's face ashen.

He quickly stepped forward to close the distance and quietly activated the power of the chicken talisman to stabilize the teetering spaceship.

The others, having also realized the seriousness of the problem, also put aside their thoughts of open and covert competition.

Without Riley saying a word, they all followed the "entrance" the burly man had carved out and entered the spaceship. They spontaneously searched the interior for the strange man, lest that fool do something even more reckless and harmful!

Of course, during this period, it was considered that Xiaoyu was the one with the worst self-protection ability among everyone.

Before taking action, Riley made sure to hand over the bull charm that Peter had given him after the last incident to Jade.

In Riley's view, this was a perfectly normal thing to do, based on a holistic perspective.

However, they did not notice that because of this action, Xiaoyu had a smug smile on her face, as if she were a victor.

And the black cat frowned slightly, looking back and forth between the two, revealing a complex and strange look in its eyes.

Fortunately, considering the urgency of the situation, the two, who disliked each other, managed to remain calm and didn't cause any trouble.

After Riley distributed the emergency communication headsets to everyone.

Riley, under the pretext of splitting up for a more efficient search, randomly chose a direction and began exploring the interior of the spaceship.

only……

I don't know whether to say Riley was incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky.

Riley's original intention was to find a corner away from the black cat and the snake, and without any surveillance cameras, to put on his Spider-Man suit.

Then, relying solely on numerical aesthetics, quickly eliminate that idiot to prevent the situation from escalating further.

Unexpectedly, after walking for a short while, Riley found the two astronauts in distress in a room that resembled a medical room.

One of the astronauts had completely lost consciousness and was not moving at all.

The other astronaut, upon hearing approaching footsteps, shakily raised his hand, aimed at Riley by feel, and pulled the trigger.

Judging from the shattered helmet, the pistol clutched tightly in his palm, and the blood spilling from his mouth and nose...

After the emergency landing, the two astronauts, displaying a strong will to survive, struggled with their injuries and helped each other out of the cockpit to this location. They hoped to receive emergency treatment using the stored medications to save their lives.

Unexpectedly, shortly after arriving at this place, they were suddenly attacked due to the intrusion of that strange, burly man.

So much so that by this point, the astronauts, who had become like frightened birds, would prioritize firing in self-defense regardless of who came at them!

Of course, after being hit one after another, the astronaut, whose consciousness had already become hazy, could not pinpoint Riley's exact location no matter how hard he tried, nor could he control the recoil of the pistol.

This meant that even if Riley stood still after pulling the trigger with all his might, the bullets would perfectly follow the law of tracing the outline of a human body and miss completely, posing no threat to Riley whatsoever.

But with all this commotion, the noise from the gunshots will likely attract other people soon.

As a result, Riley, who originally wanted to finish the battle quickly, in order to prevent "Railley Parker" from disappearing and "Spider-Man" from suddenly appearing, such an obvious clue exposed his other identity in front of the snake and the black cat.

Riley could only frown slightly, trying to keep his tone as steady as possible, using his half-truths to reassure the nervous astronaut, while continuing to slowly walk forward as "Rie Parker".

"Hey, calm down. I'm a secret agent from District 13, here to rescue you on orders from the military..."

After waiting patiently for a moment, confirming that the astronaut had either relaxed his guard or was too exhausted to continue threatening Riley with the gun, and then lowered his arm.

Riley then quickly stepped forward, snatched the pistol from the other man's hand, and habitually put it in his pocket, just in case.

Ignoring the thick, black grime covering the astronaut's body, which resembled silt, he helped the astronaut, whose breathing was becoming increasingly weak. After helping the astronaut lie down against the wall in a more comfortable position, he groped and removed the astronaut's helmet.

In order to exchange for a basic life potion from the system shop, Riley pretended to reach into his pocket and then, quite naturally, took out the life-saving potion, allowing the astronaut to swallow it completely with an instinctive swallowing motion.

After doing all this, Riley didn't forget the other astronaut who had silently fallen unconscious. Using the same method, he took out a second dose of basic life-saving potion, pried open their mouth, and forced it down their throat. Then, as the system panel displayed the message "Mission Complete," it was announced that Riley had saved the lives of both astronauts.

Of course, Riley, who was currently flush with cash and had over a thousand points remaining, could easily exchange them for two intermediate-level life potions to speed up their recovery.

However, if they recover too quickly, or even regain consciousness immediately after drinking the intermediate-level life potion, they will definitely be suspicious upon discovering that the person who saved them was a boy under the age of eighteen.

Furthermore, since Riley was unable to explain what he had done to enable the two astronauts to recover so miraculously, the identity of "Rieley Parker" would inevitably come under the scrutiny of the inherently suspicious military and inevitably cause some trouble.

Even if Chief Black intervenes in the end, Riley will definitely be cleared of suspicion.

But if you have a choice, it's definitely better to avoid trouble than to cause more.

Moreover, Riley believed that the military rescue team, along with medical personnel, was already on its way.

Once they arrive, the two astronauts will receive the best possible treatment.

Although a period of rest is needed, the final outcome is always a full recovery, so there's no need to spend those extra hundreds of points.

The fine tradition of Chinese people being thrifty and frugal, saving where they should and spending where they should, is fully demonstrated at this moment.

"Phew... all done. Now, all I have to do is deal with that idiot."

After saving the lives of the two astronauts, Riley, who was temporarily relieved, was soon drawn to the strange black mud that had gotten on his body during the rescue.

I instinctively reached out and tried to pry it off, but found that the clump of black mud was like a plaster, sticking tightly to my body and I couldn't shake it off no matter how hard I tried.

The slippery, cold sensation of the mud against Riley's skin was so intense that even someone without obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't help but shiver and mutter complaints.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is inside this spaceship? How did it get so dirty... Ugh, it's sticky and wet, and it even stretches into strings, this feels so weird..."

"Looks like I'll have to take another shower when I get back... I just don't know if regular shower gel will be enough to clean this off?"

During their conversation, Riley didn't notice anything because the interior of the spaceship was dark after the emergency landing and there was almost no light source...

In fact, while he was busy treating the two astronauts, the black mud on their bodies seemed to have a sense of self, quietly wriggling and gathering and adhering to Riley's body.

Furthermore, if one were to illuminate the area and observe closely at this moment, one would find that the spacesuits worn by the two astronauts, aside from the damage caused by the impact, are practically spotless…

This bizarre and strange scene inexplicably imbued the already dim space with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere...
