The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 912: Abandoned battleship

Views:

The spaceship built by Nizi is the same as their own, showing a flamboyant and exaggerated atmosphere everywhere. Inside this palace-like space ship, every corridor, every piece of equipment, and every object is carefully decorated and laid out. Exquisite.

Its corridors are spacious and bright, with beautifully curved vaults. Pale golden, tassel-like luminous bodies hang down from the vaults of the corridors, and crystal clear crystal raw stones hang from the ends. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, countless relief patterns are continuously arranged. Those relief patterns are exquisite and depict scenes like religious legends with exquisite artistic techniques, including fighting against natural disasters, Mysterious rituals related to the stars, taming all kinds of dangerous beasts. Of course, the protagonists in these pictures are all tall and handsome "perfect human beings". They either wear holy armor, or wear robes representing wisdom and knowledge, and play the role of savior or guide in each picture. Various other species, including humans who resembled them but were depicted as thinner—all prostrated themselves at the feet of these "gods."

Hao Ren felt that he was not so much walking in a battleship, but more like walking in a magnificent temple. If it weren't for the technological facilities where you can occasionally see flashing lights between the reliefs and statues, he would have almost Forget that this is a spaceship floating in space.

Y'zaks walked beside Hao Ren, and he casually looked at the luxurious decorations around him. These resplendent and beautifully decorated corridors reminded him of something in his hometown - those art-loving elves and human kingdoms with a long history Building something similar to it is of course less expensive, but from the point of view of "exquisite art", the two are quite similar.

"If it's not a weapon, it can be called a good work of art," Izaks said with a smile, "It's a pity that such decorations shouldn't appear on the battlefield. As a battleship, it's too luxurious. Just unnecessary frills."

"Luxuries on the battlefield. Humans have had this period too, but that was in ancient times—it's hard to imagine that a space civilization will maintain this kind of ethos." Hao Ren shook his head, "These rebels have completely gone crazy. They hurriedly gilded their statues because of the illusory things."

Lily poked on the passing statues with her ice and fire claws, and muttered while poking: "Collective convulsions, this happens from time to time in any society, it's just that these guys have a bit more convulsions." By the way, it looks like there is really no one in this ship, huh?"

The data terminal floated at the front of the line. Constantly sweeping around with a blue beam of light, it is detecting the energy flow in the corridor wall and the remnants of life nearby: "No signs of life have been found-except for microorganisms. The power of the spacecraft appears to be intact, and it can Regular signal transmissions have been detected, and the basic system of the spacecraft should still be operating automatically. The core system seems to be offline, and this machine has detected a line in a silent state. This line runs through the entire spaceship, and we can find it through it. The location of the ship's main engine can also figure out the general structure of the ship."

Hao Ren gave a absent-minded oh, although he was concerned about the structure of the spaceship. But what I care more about is the whereabouts of the crew here. Every corner of this resplendent place looks graceful and luxurious, but at the moment it is lifeless and lifeless. Suspended in space like a cold artifact, he wondered why. Along the way. He didn't find any signs of damage, and there was no sign of an outbreak of battle in the ship on the corridor wall, so it can basically be ruled out that the battleship was invaded, the crew mutiny, internal environmental disasters and other factors that may cause the crew to abandon the ship and escape. Since no obvious external damage to the spacecraft was found, abandonment of the ship in the event of damage to the battleship can be ruled out.

The ship was abandoned in perfect condition.

They came to the end of the corridor, where there was a Y-shaped fork and a door. The door was in the middle of the fork, and it might be a temporary resting place for the staff. Lily scratched the metal door with her paw: "What's behind this?"

Hao Ren took the husky girl aside to prevent her from making any noise, and then stepped forward to check the status of the gate. The energy of the access control system should be fine, but I don't know how to turn it on. He searched around the door. Finally, the eyes were on both sides of the gate: there were two small sculptures placed symmetrically there, and the image of the sculpture was some kind of beast with fangs and a thin face. Hao Ren subconsciously put his hand on the sculpture's head, and heard a slight sizzle sound from the wall, and then the gate slid open to both sides.

"This thing reminds me of those ancient tomb traps in TV dramas," Hao Ren smacked his lips. "The design is quite retro."

Behind the gate is a small rectangular room, which is a lounge as Hao Ren guessed. In the room, some large soft chairs and long metal tables can be seen, and what is noticeable is that there are things on those metal tables.

Hao Ren quickly walked into the house, and saw strange-looking tableware on the metal tables, some of which hadn't been touched at all, and a holographic projection floating in the corner of the room, showing a place The compartment that no one has explored yet. Lily's first reaction after seeing the food on the table was to exclaim: "Ah, so they also eat?"

"Nonsense, Raven 12345 still eats instant noodles to relieve boredom, not to mention these guys who can't even be called demigods," Hao Ren said while reaching for a glass of drink on the table, as expected...it was cold , "Um, it looks like I've been away for a while."

Izaks looked at the scene in the house, and slowly frowned: "The food was on the table, and the projector was not turned off in time, but other than that, there were no traces of fighting. They should have evacuated suddenly, and the reason for the evacuation is It was not because of violence. Judging from the situation at the scene, they left here in a hurry but not in chaos, so the cause of the crew abandoning the ship and escaping is most likely an order from their superiors."

Hao Ren's answer was only three words: "Keep looking."

The order to retreat the entire ship should have been issued from the bridge or a command center with similar functions, so everyone tentatively set the target there. The data terminal searched for the cabin of the suspected command center by invading the data lines buried in the corridor, and led everyone all the way to the depths of the spaceship.

As they went deeper, they found more evidence one after another, which could prove that the crew of the ship was evacuated urgently under a unified order.

They found more active cabins, including lounges, conference rooms, dormitories, and various workshops. Every room showed signs of sudden abandonment: food was left intact on the table , personal items were discarded in the corner of the room, some devices were still turned on, and in some rooms, clothes discarded on the bed could even be seen. It seemed that the owner of the room suddenly ran out after changing clothes halfway. This emergency evacuation can be described as panic. Hao Ren couldn't help but wonder how those Nizi who always pretended to be god-like gods acted in such a panic.

Finally, they found a wide corridor leading to the deepest part of the ship. At the end of this corridor was a gate so magnificent that a giant like M'uru could enter with his head held high. The gate was made of crystal and carved with the image of a god. It was taller and more elegant than every door encountered before, and the data terminal confirmed by invading the surrounding lines that the control center of the spacecraft was located behind this door.

This time, Hao Ren couldn't find where the control switch of the gate was. Lily pried the crack of the door with her claws: "This thing is so strong!"

Hao Ren looked around and confirmed that the control method of this door was different from those small gates that could be opened with statues before. He knocked on the casing of the data terminal: "Is this door connected to a self-destruct or other warning switch? ?”

The data terminal took two photos on the door: "No, there is only a simple access control system."

Hao Ren patted Y'zaks on the arm: "Some technical support."

Y'zaks was stunned for a moment at first, but he quickly realized that he rolled up his sleeves and summoned a piece of hell lava out of thin air, swung this murderous weapon and smashed it towards the door: "Everyone stay away! ah!"

Lily was lowering her head and scratching at the crack of the door. When she looked up, she saw a fireball the size of a calf flying over her head. With a yelp, she rushed behind Hao Ren, followed by a loud bang that spread throughout the corridor.

Lily jumped and shouted in a cloud of smoke: "Don't be so sudden! Give me some reaction time and you will die!"

"When he said the word technical support, you should have realized that it was going to explode," the data terminal said meanly, "As expected of the partner of this machine, the work style is getting better and better now!" ( To be continued~^~)
