Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 2 Amrodia

boom--

The giant hand of the golem pressed down on the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky. Looking at the mess behind him, Frege couldn't help secretly rejoicing. If he ran a step slower, he would have been patted into a meatloaf.

He felt his legs suddenly full of strength again.

Even so, he still couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva when he turned his head and saw the golem that continued to catch up.

The golem is huge, so its movements are a little sluggish.

But according to this posture, as long as he stops, he will be caught by the opponent immediately.

run!
run!
Frege has no intention of fighting against it at all, his ability is not combat type.

Moreover, in his understanding, even the most powerful combat-type supernatural user cannot be the opponent of the giant golem in front of him.

It's just too big...

While running forward, he suddenly felt that such a description appeared in his mind:

"House seemingly endless rain……"

Feeling the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but feel a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

Wait a moment……

He suddenly paused. During this moment of stupefaction, he suddenly tripped over the hard gravel and staggered forward. Facing the huge downhill, he could no longer control his figure and rolled into a ball. Rolled straight down the dunes.

"notes!"

He firmly grasped the package in his hand, but the pen and communicator inside were still thrown out during the high-speed tumbling process.

In a panic, he took out the only pocket watch from his bag, and when he reached out to touch again, was there any note in it——

notes? !
Frege felt the information in his mind again, the notebook that already carried this information.

"It...why is the note in my head?"

This kind of problem is obviously not something he can solve at the moment after countless rolls and nearly dizzy.

Stretching his nearly fractured limbs, Frege finally got a moment of respite when he fell into the shallow pit at the bottom of the dune.

"Damn!"

As soon as he looked up, he saw the mechanical golem that had already crossed the sand dune with half of its feet. He didn't care about taking more rest, stepped out of the shallow pit and ran away.

At this moment, his physical strength and physical condition were obviously on the verge of collapse. He didn't continue to look back, and he could judge the distance between himself and the golem just by the range of the shadow above his head.

Faster... faster!
"Come on... come here... come back here..."

In a daze, he once again saw a line of writing that appeared on the notebook in his mind.

Combining the content of the previous sentence, he realized that the note wanted him to take out the pocket watch.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately took out the old pocket watch whose surface was worn to the point of being barely visible from the backpack.

In fact, it stalled shortly after leaving the ruins.

"The hour hand... the hour hand..."

Frege opened the pocket watch tremblingly, looking at the dial, he suddenly thought of a question.

What azimuth should he use as a reference to determine the direction of the pointer?

Trying to turn the pocket watch, he found that the pointer that had stopped for many days actually started to rotate with his hand, and the hour hand was pointing to the same direction by coincidence.

"A bit of a doorway!"

A little brilliance returned to his eyes, and he glanced back at the giant golem that was still chasing after him. He grabbed his pocket watch and ran towards the only direction.

The wind and sand became more and more violent. When he raised his head again, he found that the dust storm had already covered the sky, and there was a gray scene in front of him.

"Damn weather!"

He threw down his worn coat, and then took off his cotton vest and put it on his head, barely able to see the general situation outside through the gap.

"boom--"

He clearly felt that the loud noise exploded beside him, and the vibration of the ground made him almost unable to stand still.

He anxiously glanced at his pocket watch, ready to put it in his pocket and run desperately, but at this moment all the yellow sand around him began to move, to be precise, it was sliding.

"quicksand!"

It was too late for Frege to realize the environment he was in. The nearby sand dunes were collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He struggled desperately, but the surrounding sand could no longer provide him with a point of strength, and the end result of the struggle was to make him sink even faster.

Until he exhausted the last bit of strength, he still couldn't break free from this powerful force.

"Do not--"

In the end, he was driven underground by quicksand in desperation.

................................................

Opening his eyes again, he found that there was a blurry darkness in front of him. With the help of the surrounding fireflies, he seemed to see a huge silver object not far away.

Frege rubbed his eyes in disbelief, only to realize that the silver object was a longhorn stone ship about eighty feet long.

The outer armor of the ship was still brand new, and there were no traces of use from the outside. Gently touching the silver-white metal plate, the cold texture from his fingertips instantly restored his clarity.

When he circled around to find the location of the hatch, the five-meter-high giant door opened automatically.

There is no authentication of any kind, and nothing comes out of it.

Looking at the darker passage than the outside, recalling the monster-like mechanical giant in the desert, he stepped into the ship without hesitation.

Food and water sources are indeed very important, but if he cannot leave this planet, he will be found and killed by the golem one day.

Only by leaving here can he be safe.

Bang!
After he entered the cabin completely, the heavy door slammed shut, and Frege, who heard the loud noise, instantly realized that he was a bit reckless.

After trying to push it a few times, the door still didn't budge.

Now he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Although the interior of the ship does not have the scorching heat of the desert, the darker space is obviously much duller than the outside.

He reached out and touched a cold wall, and his feet were immediately attached to the entity.

He moved forward slowly along the wall, and when his fingers passed through the grooves between the metal plates, he would involuntarily pull his hands away from the wall.

He was a little worried that there would be some terrifying objects hidden in this ship, such as Zerg and other alien creatures, who would be the greatest enemies of explorers like them.

squeak-

When he pressed the previous metal plate, there was a strange sound inside.

Under the stress, his body turned back more than half a circle, but the slightly sloping passage didn't seem very spacious. This action caused his head to hit the other wall directly behind him.

Here...is there a door?

In the darkness, Frege rubbed his head while feeling the dark space in front of him.

He couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly in the darkness, but he could vaguely feel a slight change in the direction he was facing at this moment.

is the wind.

have a room?
Go in.

His Adam's apple wriggled up and down, and the long-term lack of water made it difficult for him to even swallow saliva.

He tiptoed into the room opened by him, the air inside was much duller than the passage outside.

If he had to describe it, it would probably be the kind of catacomb that had been covered in dust for thousands of years.

With this realization, the occasional strange noises from all around made him feel that this place became more and more strange.

The room seemed very empty, and he could even clearly hear his footsteps echoing in his ears.

Continuing to grope along the wall, he returned to the original position with some disappointment—he touched the metal door just now.

Looks like there's nothing here...

However, just as he was about to leave with regret, he suddenly felt a faint red glow in the darkness behind him, accompanied by a faint sound of metal collisions.

This light was particularly abrupt in the darkness, Frege didn't know what it was, and he didn't dare to think about it at all.

He just wanted to get out of here quickly.

The metal collision became more and more clear, as if an object was constantly approaching him.

Frege didn't dare to neglect, he stretched his legs and rushed out desperately, fearing that if he was a step too late, he would be torn to pieces by the monster chasing him.

——He now firmly believes that there must be some kind of monster behind him!

After running for quite a distance, the strange sound did not continue to follow, but he did not dare to stop just like that. After running wildly for about half a minute, another door was suddenly knocked open by him——

In an instant, all the lights in the dark room were turned on.

Frege was taken aback, and instinctively raised his hand to block in front of him.

The glare blinded his eyes briefly.

After recovering his vision, he narrowed his eyes and began to observe the scene in front of him.

No one could be seen in the spindle-shaped space, and the silver-white metal matte floor was covered with dust.

In front of the main console with countless buttons of different sizes, a leather armchair just turned to face his direction.

Gritting his teeth, he walked over, and found that the buttons on the main console were completely different from what he had imagined, and there were some very simple words engraved on the side.

"It seems to be the same as the font on the note..."

Frege frowned, and in the next second, those words that could not be understood suddenly became clear in his mind.

Like the font on the cover of the notebook, he can now understand the meaning of all the words.

His attention was focused on a line of small words directly below the screen——

"Amrodia...?"
