Chapter 704 The Crew Members

Chapter 704 The Crew Members　　Ning found pieces of metal broken off from the side of the spaceship. The 'fins' the people had seen were giant metal arms of the spaceship, of which half of them had been destroyed already.

The spaceship was far bigger in person than he could have imagined. It was cylindrical in shape with half of its outer arms around it. There was an opening at the back for the thrusters.

The front of it was still under the sand.

Once Ning pulled the entire spaceship from the sand, he teleported it onto a deserted island and put it there.

He looked at it from top to bottom. The ship was so massive that perhaps 5 of those giant turtles he had summoned could fit into it.

And that was after most of it had been destroyed. 

The spaceship he remembered seeing so majestic in his memory was now completely crushed on all sides. The glass screen on the front was fully broken in and water had completely filled the spaceship.

Ning waited for the water to escape out, and when it did, he finally decided to go in.

Ning had just stepped into the ship when he came face to face with a skeleton.

"Holy Shit!" he cried out as he backed off. He wasn't expecting to see dead people so soon.

"Shit! Of course, the crew must be dead if they fell in here," he thought to himself.

He prepared himself and walked back in. He ignored the skeleton strapped onto the front seat, its clavicle and ribs broken due to the impact.

The skeleton's head hung loosely to the side. Ning sighed and moved on forward. 

He saw a few more bodies strapped in seats behind them. 

Ning saw a giant hole on the other side of the ship that he hadn't seen before. Something had struck in from the side.

"Is this before or after they fell?" Ning asked his system. 

"I would think a spaceship that is supposed to fly through space would be a little stronger," Ning said. "If  a little water can crush it like this, what if they hit asteroids in space?"

"I see," Ning said. "Still, I can't believe the water crushed it so much."

"So a little water pressure and the whole thing gets crushed like a water bottle, huh?" Ning thought.

Metals spikes rose from all around, glass shards littered the floor. The sand had made its way in and was now everywhere. Ning could even see a few fish bones that must have died in here.

The walls of the spaceship were covered in moss and algae. He could see sea bugs crawling the side of it from time to time. 

Ning forced open some sort of door in the giant spaceship and went through to find a few things. 

This room was more or less protected by the beasts, but water, sand, bugs, and the algae had made their way through somehow. 

Most of the things in this room were unrecognizable as well. 

As he was thinking that, Ning came across something. He saw a bunch of rectangular metal boxes with moss all over them. 

Ning walked up to one of them and wiped the mess from the top. Suddenly, he saw a face through the now clean screen.

"A person!" he cried out and quickly ripped open the metal lid. He reached in to grab the person and… they were dead.

"What? But… but they look so alive," Ning said to himself. The person in the chamber was a woman with long hair that had her eyes closed. 

There was some sort of tube that went through her nose and mouth while the rest of it was fully naked. 

Ning checked the pulse once again, but the person clearly was dead. Now that he looked at it, her skin was indeed turning pale. 

He then stood up and looked around him to find about a dozen or so more boxes like this one.

He went through all of them, finding men and women in them. However, they were all dead.

"System, what is going on?" he asked.

"Such a horrible way to go," Ning thought. "But why haven't their bodies rotten yet?"

"So even after they're dead, they don't rot because their body never had anything to rot it, huh?" Ning asked.

"I see," Ning sighed to himself.

He started taking the people out of the chambers and brought them outside. He then brought the skeletons out too.

Then, he started digging holes in the ground for all of the dead crew members of the spaceship. 

Once he was done, he started burying them one by one in the hole he had just dug up. 

"Your deaths were tragic, but I hope you have reincarnated to somewhere better now." 

Ning prayed for them alone and put the dirt back into the graves. After that, it was time for him to learn about the spaceship itself.
