Chapter 1222: Dead
Burgess stopped advancing, and a transport ship carrying a regiment of mechs and dozens of aircraft set sail from Burgess to the location where the distress signal had originated.
The two are no more than 1.5 astronomical units apart.
In fact, before the distress signal was issued, the Blue Bird passenger ship was already in a miserable situation.
Flight QN73725 departs from the Weilan Empire's Strand, and ends at the Federation's Nut Star, crossing two star fields with as many as 45 stopover planets and more than three interstellar jumps, which is a veritable ultra-long-distance flight.
It takes 183 days of interstellar standard time, which is almost half a year.
At this time, the journey had reached the second half of the journey, and it was about to arrive at the destination, but I didn't expect the Blue Bird to have an accidental mechanical accident in the middle of the channel where it was not in front of the village and behind the store.
The passenger ship tilted slightly to the left, accompanied by a slight vibration.
Passengers on passenger ships of this level of bump do not take it seriously, many have been floating in space for more than half a year, and they have long been used to it.
In the captain's room, the red alarms of various instruments were flashing non-stop.
"Captain, the No. 3 power engine has malfunctioned and has stopped"
The Jade Bird was equipped with a total of four power engines, and one failed, which forced the Jade Bird to slow down and the technicians began to rush to repair.
What was even more surprising to the crew was that this was just the beginning, and then the air circulation system also failed, and the oxygen supply equipment stopped and stopped, sometimes running and sometimes striking, not to mention the various disobedience of other small parts.
"What's going on, why are these devices failing one after another?"
The captain had already realized by this time that there was a problem, and the passenger ship would go through the strictest security checks before each flight departure, and such a large-scale breakdown could not occur.
But even if he realized that something was wrong, it was too late.
"Do you think these failures are less like accidents and more like man-made?"
The sudden sound made the captain's whole body tense violently. One hand gripped the armrest of the seat tightly.
"Ahhh
There were several muffled sounds one after another, and the crew members in the driver's seat fell to the ground one after another, silent.
A fat man with a three-petal mouth suddenly appeared in front of him from the sky, staring at his right hand, "Dear Mr. Captain, your right hand must be careful not to touch buttons that should not be touched, for example." Alerts and stuff. Then I'm going to be very, very angry."
Cold sweat oozed from the captain's forehead, as the captain of a passenger ship, Luxon had really never seen such a scene in his life. He looked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Captain, they're dead, after all, we don't need so many pilots. I was so lucky that there was no pain at all."
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Huh. Of course, I'm here to hijack this passenger ship" The three-petaled fat man looked at the captain with disdain, and yelled behind the captain, "Massa, do you think this captain has a problem with his brain, and actually asked us what we want to do." Hahaha"
A series of laughter made the atmosphere in the captain's room even more eerie.
"Just kidding, look at you scared"
"Ahh Blood erupted, quickly staining the entire armrest of the seat red. And the severed hand rolled to the ground, and the bones rolled all the way to the feet of the fat man.
Sanlobezui shook his head, "I said that you must control your right hand, why don't you understand, if you don't obey, you will be taught"
The entire captain's room was a confined space, and in addition to the captain, there were supposed to be navigators No. 1 and No. 2 and two starship pilots, and there was also a cockpit in front of the captain's room, where the pilots in charge of various parts of the crew worked.
Access to the captain's cabin is through the cockpit, which is preceded by a guardhouse.
The entire bridge is covered with guard robots and starship guards, and the bridge is a relatively independent space on the passenger ship, neither tourists nor ordinary staff are allowed to enter, there are patrols, and the defense system configured by the passenger ship itself.
But these people walked in so easily.
The pain and blood loss calmed the captain down, and he turned his gaze to the fat man, noticed the skull badge on his chest, and his eyes widened, but his eyes were full of despair "skeleton bird"
"Haha, so you know us. ”
Skeleton Bird, actually a Skeleton Bird, the captain is almost desperate, the notoriety of this pirate group in the Star Alliance can be said to be known to everyone, the most terrifying group of perverted murderers in the Star Alliance, falling into their hands is not just as simple as death.
"It's really nice to look at those frightened little eyes, don't worry, we just need you to do a little bit of the little thing you can"
The passenger ship sent out distress signals intermittently.
"Don't worry, Mr. Captain, if the rescue doesn't come, we can get along very well, and I will give you an experience of a lifetime. ”
The bleeding of Luxon's severed hand had stopped, but the whole person was very pale because of the excessive blood loss.
"It's coming"
"Hehe, it's finally here" The fat man stretched out his slender tongue and licked the three-petal mouth, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he said to the communicator "The prey is coming, the game begins"
The transport ship left Burgess with a mecha regiment, and a mech was ejected, which can be done in close flight.
The passenger ship stood still in the starry sky, and no other flying objects were found nearby.
The transport ship tried to establish a communication connection with the other party, but it was never successful, and only intermittent distress signals were issued.
"This passenger ship is weird," Luo Haifeng commanded at the scene.
The small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft approached the passenger ship, and no open protective energy shield was found on the surface, and it smoothly approached the side shell of the passenger ship.
Luo Haifeng is in charge of the operation command of the mecha regiment, Mo Ye does not interfere in their actions, and Mo Ye is not good at commanding a big guy like a mecha.
But Mo Ye didn't ignore this matter.
After Luo Haifeng left, Mo Ye turned his head to look at Half Moon, Half Moon actually concealed this group of distress signals, if it wasn't for the mecha regiment drill to accidentally find out, they would definitely miss it.
Half Moon looked at Mo Ye with a smile on her face, "Little master, the distress signal of this passenger ship is very strange. Only we can get it."
There are not a few starships coming and going on this channel, but only Burgess has received a distress signal, and the other starships have not received any distress signals, and the purpose is simply not too obvious.
Mo Ye didn't think that Half Moon was deliberately concealing, but more like he decided that it didn't matter.
Although Half Moon doesn't care about human life or death, it doesn't deliberately hide the danger, which is not in line with its usual style.
Mo Ye looked at the half moon. It's just a simple question, "What did you find?"
Half Moon just smiled: "There is no salvage target." SOS signals are directly identified as spam"
"I see.
"Little Black"
Mo Ye beckoned Xiao Hei to sit on the little white flower flying machine.
The meaning of Half Moon is obvious, the passenger ship has no rescue value, because the people who asked for help are already dead.
As for how did Half Moon know?
The world of the out-of-print Zhi Brain is actually the same as ordinary people watching Xianxia for Mo Ye. Tynyima is fantastic.
Mo Ye and Xiao Hei bypassed the mecha regiment and entered through the tail of the passenger ship.
Entering the passenger ship, Mo Ye knew that this passenger ship was indeed as Banyue said, there was no need to rescue, and she couldn't feel the fluctuations of human spiritual power, but the negative spiritual power of resentment filled the cabin on the first floor where she was at this time.
There is no breath of living creature here.
A large amount of resentful aura caused Mo Ye, whose mental power was too sensitive, to enter a state of low pressure.
Xiao Hei followed behind Mo Ye. Unlike ordinary people, he likes this environment the most.
Unceremoniously opened his mouth wide and sucked it in. A large number of resentful spirits were completely devoured by him, even if Xiao Hei recovered part of his memory, he could not change the identity of Xiao Hei's undead at this time, and these soul powers were the foundation for him to become stronger.
After all, it's not human anymore.
Mo Ye frowned slightly. His eyes swept over the cabins on the first floor, and the doors of the rooms were closed one after another, and a thick air of death came to his face.
Where is this passenger ship. It's a ghost ship at all.
The passenger capacity of this class of the Jade Bird is about 20,000, and as a long-distance flight, the passenger capacity has always maintained the maximum. There are as many as 10,000 passengers in the cabin alone.
But at this time, the whole cabin was quiet, and the sound of embroidery needles falling to the ground could be heard, and it was lifeless.
There was a faint sound of music.
Mo Ye raised his steps and walked in the direction where the music came from, through the roundabout corridor, to the restaurant in the hall on the first floor, and the sound of music gradually became clear.
The spacious open-plan dining room is located in the middle of the entire lobby on the first floor, and for economy class, this restaurant is absolutely superb, with large crystal chandeliers, gorgeous round tables, soft lighting, and retro decoration.
Every table was full, men and women in formal attire sat upright in the soft and ambiguous lighting, and the restaurant played upbeat music, in stark contrast to the unusual silence and forbidden movements of the passengers at the tables.
You can imagine what a happy scene it was not so long ago.
The seated human body, the plates full of food, the melodious and bright music combined with the negative spiritual forces that permeated the entire cabin to form a very strange atmosphere.
Mo Ye's spiritual power turned around and retracted, and there was no life here, and the passengers who were sitting upright were all dead.
If you look closely, you will find that these people maintain extremely frightened and distorted expressions, wide eyes, slightly open mouths, panicked eyes, and stiff bodies, all of which tell the fear and pain they endured at the moment of their lives.
Mo Ye's delicate brows have been wrinkled into small mountains and rivers, and even His Excellency the Master who is as calm as a mage feels that this situation is too strange and cruel.
"Master, look" Xiao Hei seemed to find something.
Mo Ye looked at Xiao Hei's hand, it was a male corpse, his gaze slipped slightly, Mo Ye's pupils shrank suddenly, this person's legs were actually only the white bones that were exposed, and the flesh and blood were gone.
Seeing this, Mo Ye looked up at the other corpses around him, and as far as he could see, most of the dead here were like this, some had no leg flesh, some had no arm flesh, and some even had only skeletons left in their entire bodies
The only thing that is the same is that they are all wearing the clothes in front of them, and they are glamorous and unrestricted.
can do such a thing, Mo Ye feels that it is not accurate to call the murderer a pervert, this is no longer a realm that can be expressed without human nature, this is not something that people can do at all.
On one side of the restaurant, where the cabaret was originally performed, the skeleton that had been removed was built into a sculpture, a standing skeleton bird.
Mo Ye looked at the skeleton, and in his ear was Xiao Qi's explanation, "Master, these skeletons are from humans, and after comparison, they are the missing bones of the passengers on this floor."
Mo Ye saw this and had already determined that this matter was indeed aimed at Night Yama, if I remember correctly, Night Yama and the skeleton bird did have a grudge, and there were several conflicts before and after, but the idea of cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots of things has not yet had time to be implemented.
Unexpectedly, the other party kept thinking about it, and came to the door by himself.
Sure enough, it's as perverted as the legend, not more distorted.
A whole ship of innocent passengers.
Mo Ye's mental power moved slightly, and a strange creature the size of a caviar was found in the abdomen of a certain corpse, "Master, be careful that you can't touch it with your hands"
"What is this?"
"It is a single-celled organism with a strong ability to break down muscles, and in the last century this was a well-known biological weapon in the Covenant, named the Worm Eater, which only eats living creatures and prefers humans"
Mo Ye's eyebrows were slightly raised, looking at the corpses sitting around him, the air pressure around his body was a little lower, according to what Xiao Qi said, everyone here was watching themselves being eaten little by little when they were alive.
This thing the size of a grain of rice can be said to be better than the Zerg.
Mo Ye froze the little thing and held it in his hand.
It's a lot scarier than creatures like piranhas.
An organization capable of doing such a thing must be an anti-social and anti-human leader.
Mo Ye's gaze turned, and he looked up at the ceiling slightly, and a red-blue flame burst out of the ground without warning, and suddenly rose up, straight to the top of the ceiling.
A figure turned over and quickly dodged downward, looking at Mo Ye, his tone was not without regret, "I was discovered"
This person is a Sage, not a common elemental attribute but an adept with a special attribute.
A rare cybernetic with the ability to control a certain type of creature, which can be a beast, a zerg, a microbe, or even a human.
And the one that Mo Ye faced in front of him obviously had the ability to control the single-celled tun devouring insects.
The originally flat floor appeared in dense black dots, and suddenly began to move, rising from the ground to form a vortex and rushing upwards towards the ink night.
Such a person should obviously sit in the rear, under a lot of protection and concealment, and make a bad move, so that the big horn appears in front of the enemy, and is sure that this is not exposing himself.
There are actually small black dots under the carpet, and the most terrifying thing about these things is that not only is they small in size and difficult to detect with the naked eye, but even the fluctuations in mental power are negligible because of the problem of single cells
ps, I've been watching the news in the afternoon, may the deceased rest in peace, and hope that the living will be strong!(To be continued)
