This? How can the plot be so melodramatically cliché? Everybody knows my sister isn't interested in ordinary guys, and although Fatty can't be considered ordinary, Zhang Xiaobo should still come off as utterly average among us all in this Time-Space Transfer Device; nothing about him shines brighter than the rest, rather he's just another regular Joe. Yet, look at the company inside this Time-Space Transfer Device.
But then again, even if Zhang Xiaobo is not ordinary, Blade Warrior has never considered him, and he's also a fatty.
Next, she forcefully shoves the fatty aside and slaps him hard, snapping him fully awake.
"Go wash your face and clear that fuzzy brain of yours."
That slap brings Zhang Xiaobo fully back to his senses. A bit dejected, a bit helpless, and somewhat out of sorts, he drags his weary body into the washroom; he hurriedly washes his face without even using soap, then pushes open the door and steps into the hall.
He glances at Roland, then at Sky Shadow, and finally at Feng Yi and an impatient-looking Blade Warrior, and asks in astonishment, "Where are we?"
Pfft! Blade Warrior can't help but laugh at Fatty's question, as the silly fellow doesn't seem to be fully awake yet. She tells him that they should be arriving at Twin Planet A in less than half an hour. Currently, the Time-Space Transfer Device is in deceleration and is located near the Kuiper Belt, only 7.2 billion kilometers from Twin Planet A.
"Wow! We're that close already?"
At this news, Fatty almost flips out. No kidding, the preparation is one thing, but facing that thing when the time actually comes is making him extremely nervous, a big change from his demeanor the day before.
"It's your own fault for drinking too much and sleeping like the dead yesterday. We've already come to pass the message to you once before."
"You called me once?"
"Yes, exactly." Blade Warrior sighs deeply, her expression saying 'I give up on you' as she explains that they did call for him three hours ago. However, he wasn't fully awake at that time and kept mumbling something about 'Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei,' probably having a nice dream.
Of course, Blade Warrior, being generous of spirit, decided not to disturb him further. Who could have thought he'd be still sleeping away almost a full day and night? It must be said, Fatty drank more than his share of the shuttle's booze. Sky Shadow, Feng Yi, and Roland also had a bit to drink. They don't dislike alcohol, but they know priorities are priorities.
However, the fact is Fatty has the worst alcohol tolerance but ended up drinking the most. The famous saying, "Live life to the fullest and drink to your heart's content," obviously didn't suit yesterday's circumstances, let alone Fatty. Blade Warrior had indeed intended to talk him out of drinking too much, but here we are.
"There's a sobriety medicine in the storage. Go find and take one."
Fatty shakes his head hard, feeling groggy and a bit uncomfortable. Fortunately, when he was in the army, he used to drink and compete with his fellow soldiers regularly. Though he wasn't the best drinker, his ability to sober up was relatively fast. With the aid of sobriety medicine, waking up shouldn't be much of a problem.
With this mindset, Fatty doesn't hesitate to head to the storage in search of the sobriety medicine.
Thirty minutes later, the Time-Space Transfer Device successfully arrives at the outskirts of Planet A's domain. Looking at the large, Earth-like planet enveloped in purple clouds, everyone's feelings of tension and complexity are unavoidable. Next, they will collect Bizarre energy through the magnetic field and embark on the most daunting mission of their lives.
Boom!
A thunderous sound in the sky, followed by a powerful vibration inside the Time-Space Transfer Device, shoots them instantly into Planet A's atmosphere.
Even Feng Yi, who comes from a Parallel Dimension, couldn't help but feel the desolate lack of any life force when witnessing the ruined vista of Twin Planet A. Other than themselves, only the undulating Sand Worms could be seen on the ground...
But there's no shortage of Sand Worms. Through their equipment, they can nearly see one-third of the starfield's surface, with more than 20 Death Sandworms in sight. These disgusting creatures, not just at a glance but even the mere thought of them, can make one feel nauseated and queasy.
The appearance of the Death Sandworm is somewhat similar to the Bobbit Worm, but it is far larger in size. There's no known animal on Earth to which it can be compared; even dinosaurs, though similar in mass, fall short in length compared to the Sand Worms.
What's more terrifying is it has no eyes, no nose, not even a mouth. What you see as a gaping mouth is more akin to its exposed digestive organ. What adds to the horror is that this vile creature does not even have a brain.
Yes, it has no brain, no heart, thus lacking any characteristics of thought or fear. Its predation relies entirely on its innate biological instincts. It's clear that such a monstrosity, if living in other starfields, would be a horrific disaster.
One can say that such terrifying creatures cannot be easily destroyed by firearms. Their scales are extremely thick and hard; even an AK47, a powerful armor-piercing automatic rifle, cannot damage the internal organs of a Sand Worm. Bullets can only penetrate up to about 1.3 meters into its body, failing even to break through the surface skin.
Only heavy artillery stands a chance against such frightening creatures. Even if an ordinary soldier were to pilot a Mobile Suit, without preparation, facing these creatures would be very tricky.
And to kill them with a Mobile Suit, one would need to at least be a mid-level driver, which is obviously not easy for an ordinary soldier.
Therefore, after seeing these Sand Worms, Fatty has no other reaction but fear, and his scalp goes numb...
