Chereads / Eve of Annihilation / Chapter 45 - The UFO

Chapter 45 - The UFO

This was highly unusual for me, and by that I mean that I'd never in my life have thought that we were created by aliens to grow and then get eaten.

The others, except Ayuri of course, were still trying to comprehend what they had heard, myself included.

But these aliens are after us, so we need to get out of here as soon as possible and gather the rest of us. We don't know when the aliens will come, but we all have to do something about it.

[They'll arrive in about a month.]

That soon? Damn, we don't have much time, we've to act fast.

I managed to get Miko and Yuuki to come to their senses after the shock, and we began to make a plan.

"Okay, I understand that we've to act quickly, but we don't know where the others are," Yuuki said.

"We don't know no one's whereabouts?" I asked.

"Actually, I know where Yagami is." Miko replied.

"How do you know?"

"I..."

"Never mind, we don't have time for that, just tell us where he's." Yuuki said.

"I'm going to kick your ass, Yuuki, as soon as we get out of here. Anyway, he's in Yormen City." Miko said.

"Alright, let's go there then." I replied.

"But how are we going to get out of here?" Yuuki asked.

"What would you say if we use this spaceship as a vehicle?"

"The what?" Miko and Yuuki exclaimed together.

(Hey, Eyva, I've already analysed the pyramid. That means I've analysed the spaceship too?)

[Yes, do you want to create a new it or repair this one?]

(Hmm, I think I'll repair this one because when the aliens come, it would be better to have the same spaceship as theirs).

I put my hand on the throne where the skeleton was sitting.

[Initiate repairs...]

[According to the user's intelligence, it'll take a billion years to complete the repairs].

( Are you making fun of me?)

[Of course not, why would I do that?]

[The repairs are completed. It seems that the host has increased his intelligence].

(It was always high, I don't need to increase it even more].

[You'd like to think so].

What happened to her? It's unusual to see her talking like that, or rather, I didn't think she could make jokes. Did something happen when she was analysing the spaceship? Anyway, I'll think about it later.

It seems that my ability not only repaired the ship, but also cleaned it. The dust that covered the whole place was cleaned.

What a practical ability. I'll use it to clean up the house when this is all over.

The ship had been repaired and was ready to fly. Everything was back in working order. The energy had returned and I could feel the ship coming back to life.

Even though the alien was our enemy, I decided to keep its skeleton in a capsule. I mean, it's an alien skeleton, who wouldn't want to keep something like that?

I'm going to name this spaceship "The UFO".

"What exactly are you doing?" Yuuki asked when he saw me waving my hand in front of the wall while thinking about the name.

"Nothing, nothing."

I sat down on the captain's seat and suddenly the HUD appeared before my eyes.

Something that looked like a cable came from the back of the seat and hit the back of my head. It pierced my skull and connected to my brain.

I could feel a huge amount of data flowing into my brain. About technology that doesn't exist here, about the structure and capabilities of UFO, and about the alien species that will soon attack us.

If I hadn't become like this I would already be dead from that machine. But at least now I've a bunch of useful information.

I hadn't even noticed that the others were looking at me worriedly the whole time. I guess the fact that they heard my skull being crushed scared them.

After assuring them that I was fine, I looked for the controls to fly the thing out of here.

After a few tries, I managed to find the controls. Let's put aside the fact that I accidentally triggered the self-destruct and nearly exploded the reactor.

Okay, so I'm controlling it with my mind. This is going to be a little difficult for me.

(Eyva, can you make some modifications to the UFO so I can control it better?)

[I can, what do you want?]

(Build in the control stick of a fighter jet. It'll be easier for me to control it since I've already done the training for every vehicle that exists here).

[Done.]

All right, let's do it.

I grabbed the control stick and pushed it forward to make the UFO come out of the pyramid.

"You three hold on to something," I said.

I started moving the joystick back and forth to break through the pyramid. I'd already upgraded the UFO so the shields were still active and it didn't take any damage.

After a few tries, I managed to break free of the pyramid.

"All right, time to get out of here."

I turned it upwards and set the throttle to maximum.

The UFO began to rise at an extremely high speed. The force was at least 9G. It was fine for me and Ayuri, but for Yuuki and Miko it was a somewhat unpleasant experience.

It passed over us through the ground as if it were made of butter. I guess the round shape helps a lot with that.

Just before we got back to the surface, Yuuki, who was struggling because of the pressure on him, said, "Eve, do not forget we have to go see where that elevator is heading."

"Ah, right, the elevator. I'll go down quickly and we will take a look at it."

"Wait, wait, do not go down so fast."

But it was already too late to comply with his request, because I had already pushed the joystick all the way backwards.

Now the force was even greater. I felt like my lungs were about to explode. Ayuri stood still as if nothing had happened, Miko had created a protective barrier with her ability, and poor Yuuki got all the G-force without being able to do anything.

Fortunately for him, it didn't take long for us to arrive. During my ascent, I drilled a hole in the building that was in the ground so I could put the UFO there without difficulty.

We got off the UFO and started looking around. The place seemed like a laboratory. Capsules, plans, research material, lab rats, and a huge strange machine in the middle of the room.

What the hell is this place?
