Chapter 1222 Lifeless
Burgis stopped advancing, and a transport ship carrying a mecha regiment and dozens of aircraft set sail from Burgis to the location where the distress signal came out.
The distance between the two is no more than 1.5 AU.
In fact, before the distress signal was sent out, the passenger ship Blue Bird was already in a miserable situation with water and fire.
Flight qn73725 departed from the Starland of the Weilan Empire and ended at the Nut Star of the Federation. It crossed two star fields and stopped at as many as forty-five planets. It made more than three interstellar transitions. This is a veritable ultra-long-distance flight.
It takes one hundred and eighty-three days of interstellar standard time before and after, which is almost half a year.
At this time, the journey has reached the second half of the journey and is about to arrive at the destination. Unexpectedly, the Blue Bird had an unexpected mechanical accident in the middle of the channel with no village in front and no shop in back.
The passenger ship tilted slightly to the left, accompanied by a slight vibration.
The passengers on the passenger transport ship didn't take this level of turbulence to heart. Many people had been floating in space for more than half a year, and they were already used to it.
In the captain's room, the red alarms of various instruments kept flashing.
"Captain, the No. 3 power engine has failed and has stopped operating"
The Jade Bird is equipped with a total of four power engines, one of which failed, which forced the Jade Bird to slow down and technicians began to rush to repair it.
What made the crew even more unexpected was that this was just the beginning, and then the air circulation system also failed, and the oxygen supply equipment stopped and stopped, and sometimes went on strike, not to mention various other small parts. obedient.
"What's going on, why do these devices fail one after another?"
The captain was already aware of the problem at this time. The passenger carrier would go through the most stringent safety checks before each flight departed, and it was impossible for such a large-scale failure to occur.
But even he realized there was a problem too late.
"Do you think these failures are not accidents but man-made?"
The sudden sound made the captain tense up. He gripped the armrest of the seat tightly with one hand.
"Ah ah ah"
Several muffled sounds in succession,
The crew members on the pilot's seat fell to the ground one after another, without a sound.
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, be careful not to touch buttons with your right hand that shouldn't be touched, for example, alarm, etc. .and I'd be very, very angry."
Cold sweat oozed from the captain's forehead. As the captain of a passenger transport ship, Luxon had never seen such a scene in his life. Looking to the side worriedly.
"Mr. Captain, don't worry, they are dead. After all, we don't need so many pilots. It's very lucky that there is no pain at all."
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Hehe. Of course he is here to hijack this passenger ship." The fat man with three petal mouths looked at the captain contemptuously, and shouted behind the captain, "Masa, do you think this captain has a problem with his mind? He actually asked us what we wanted?" What are you doing. Hahaha"
A series of laughter made the atmosphere in the entire captain's room even more eerie.
"Just kidding, I see you are scared"
"Ah" Luxon exhaled in pain, looked down and saw that his wrist was neatly cut off. Blood burst out, quickly staining the entire armrest of the seat red. But the severed hand rolled to the ground, rolling all the way to Fatty's feet.
Three-petal mouth shook his head, "I told you to keep your right hand in check, why don't you understand, and you will be taught if you don't obey."
The entire captain's cabin is a confined space. In addition to the captain, there should have been No. 1 and No. 2 navigators and two main starship pilots. There is also a cockpit in front of the captain's room, which is in charge of various parts of the pilot crew. work there.
To enter the captain's cabin, you must first pass through the cockpit, and there is a guard room before the cockpit.
The entire bridge position is full of guard robots and starship guards, and the bridge is a relatively independent space in the passenger ship. Neither tourists nor ordinary staff are allowed to enter. There are patrols and passenger ships. The defense system configured by the ship itself.
But these people walked in so easily.
The pain and blood loss made the captain calm down instead. He turned his gaze to the fat man, noticed the skull badge on his chest, and widened his eyes, but his eyes were full of despair "Skeleton Bird"
"Haha, so you know us."
Skeleton bird, it is actually a skeleton bird, the captain is almost desperate, the notoriety of this pirate group in the Star Alliance is known to everyone, the most terrifying group of perverted murderers in the Star Alliance, falling into their hands is not just death So simple.
"It's such a joy to watch those terrified little eyes, don't worry we just need you to do the little things you can"
The passenger ship sent out intermittent distress signals.
"Don't worry, Mr. Captain, if the rescue doesn't come, we can get along very happily, and I will give you an unforgettable experience."
Luxon's severed hand had stopped bleeding, but his complexion was very pale due to excessive blood loss.
"coming"
"Hehe, it's finally here." The fat man stretched out his slender tongue and licked his three-petal mouth. His eyes were full of eagerness and he said to the communicator, "The prey is here, the game begins."
The transport ship carried the mecha regiment away from Burgess, and the mechas were ejected one after another. This kind of close-range flight of the mechas was completely achievable.
The passenger ship was stationary in the starry sky, and no other flying objects were found around it.
The transport ship tried to establish a communication connection with the other party, but it was still unsuccessful, and only intermittent distress signals were still sent out.
"This passenger ship is weird," Luo Haifeng was in command at the scene.
The small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft approached the passenger ship, and no protective energy shield was found on the surface, and it smoothly approached the side shell of the passenger ship.
Luo Haifeng was in charge of the mecha regiment's action command, and Mo Ye didn't interfere in their operations. Mo Ye was not good at commanding big guys like mechas.
But Mo Ye is not indifferent to this matter.
After Luo Haifeng left, Mo Ye turned to look at Ban Yue. Ban Yue actually concealed this group of distress signals. If it wasn't accidentally discovered by the mech regiment during the exercise, they must have missed it.
Ban Yue looked at Mo Ye with a smile on his face, "Little master, the distress signal from this passenger ship is very strange. Only we can receive it"
There are quite a few starships traveling on this channel, but only Burgess received the distress signal, and the other passing starships did not receive any distress signal, so the purpose should not be too obvious.
Mo Ye didn't think that Ban Yue deliberately concealed it, it was more like he decided that the matter was not important.
Although Banyue doesn't care about human life and death, it doesn't deliberately conceal danger, which is not in line with its usual style of behavior.
Mo Ye looked at Ban Yue. Just plain wondering "what did you find?"
Ban Yue just smiled "There is no rescue target. The distress signal is directly identified as spam"
Mo Ye "..." That's it.
"Little Black"
Mo Ye greeted Xiaohei to get on the little white flower aircraft.
The meaning of Ban Yue is obvious. The passenger ship has no rescue value, because the people who called for help are all dead.
How did Ban Yue know?
To Mo Ye, the world of out-of-print intellectual brains is actually the same as ordinary people see Xianxia. It's so magical.
Mo Ye and Xiao Hei bypassed the Mecha regiment and entered from the rear of the passenger carrier.
Entering the passenger ship, Mo Ye knew that there was no need to rescue the passenger ship as Ban Yue said, and she could not feel the fluctuation 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 things here.
A large amount of resentment made Mo Ye, who was too sensitive in mental strength, enter a state of low pressure.
Xiao Hei followed behind Mo Ye. Unlike ordinary people, he likes this kind of environment the most.
Unceremoniously, he opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath. A large number of resentful spirits were completely devoured by him. Even if Xiao Hei recovered part of his memory, he could not change Xiao Hei's identity as an undead at this time. These soul powers are the root of his strengthening.
After all, they are no longer human.
Mo Ye frowned slightly. His eyes swept across the passenger cabin on the first floor, and the doors of the guest rooms were closed tightly, and a strong dead air rushed towards his face.
Where is this passenger ship. It is simply a wraith ship.
The passenger capacity of a passenger ship of this level is about 20,000, and as a long-distance flight, the passenger capacity has always been maintained at the maximum. There are as many as tens of thousands of passengers in just one cabin.
But at this moment, the entire cabin was so quiet that the sound of embroidery needles landing could be heard, lifeless.
Faint music came.
Mo Ye raised his steps, walked towards the direction of the music, walked through the roundabout corridor, and came to the restaurant in the lobby on the first floor, where the music gradually became clearer.
The spacious open restaurant is right in the middle of the hall on the first floor. As an economy class, this restaurant is absolutely super-standard configuration, with large crystal lamps, gorgeous round tables, soft lighting, and retro decoration.
Every dining table is full of people, men and women are sitting upright in formal attire under the soft (ambiguous) light, and fast-paced music is playing in the dining room. Prohibited action.
One can imagine what a joyful and lively scene it was not long ago.
The sitting human body, the plate full of food, the melodious and lively music combined with the negative spiritual power covering the entire cabin form a very strange atmosphere.
Mo Ye's mental power turned around and recovered. There was also no survivor 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 opened mouths, panicked eyes, and stiff bodies, all of which tell the fear and pain they endured at the moment before they were alive.
Mo Ye's delicate brows were already wrinkled into small mountains and rivers. Even the calm Master Mage felt that this situation was too weird and cruel.
"Master, look." Xiao Hei seemed to have discovered something.
Mo Ye followed Xiao Hei's hand to look over, it was a male corpse, his gaze fell slightly, Mo Ye's pupils shrank suddenly, the man's legs were only left with white bones exposed, and the flesh and blood had disappeared trace.
Seeing this, Mo Ye looked up at the other corpses around him. Looking around, most of the dead here are like this. Some have no leg flesh, some have no arm flesh, and some even have only skeletons left in their entire bodies.
The only thing in common is that they are all wearing the clothes in front of them, glamorous without any restrictions.
Being able to do such a thing, Mo Ye felt that it was not accurate to call the murderer a pervert. This was no longer inhumane.
On the side of the restaurant where the song and dance performance was originally performed, the dismantled skeleton was built into a sculpture, a standing skeleton bird.
Mo Ye looked at the skeleton, and heard Xiao Qi's explanation, "Master, these skeletons come from humans. After comparison, they are the missing bones of passengers on this floor."
Seeing this, Mo Ye has already confirmed that this matter is really aimed at Ye Yanluo. If I remember correctly, Ye Yanluo and the skeleton bird do have enmity, and there have been several conflicts before and after, but the idea of killing the root of the matter has not had time. implement.
Unexpectedly, the other party has been thinking about it all the time, and even came to the door by himself.
Sure enough, he was as perverted as in the legend, not more twisted.
A whole ship of innocent passengers.
Mo Ye's mental power moved slightly and found a strange creature the size of a fish roe in the abdomen of a certain corpse, "Master, be careful not to touch this with your hands"
"What's this?"
"It's a single-celled creature with a strong ability to decompose muscles. In the last century, it was a well-known biological weapon in the Star Alliance. It was named insect devourer. It only eats living things and prefers humans."
Mo Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the corpses sitting around him. The air pressure around him was a little lower. According to what Xiao Qi said, everyone here is watching themselves being bit by bit when they are alive. eat up.
This thing the size of a grain of rice can be said to be a Zerg better than a Zerg.
Mo Ye froze the little thing and held it in his hand.
This is much scarier than creatures like piranhas.
An organization that can do this kind of thing must be a leader in anti-society and anti-humanity.
Mo Ye's eyes turned, and he slightly raised his head to look at the ceiling. A red and blue flame burst out from the ground without warning, suddenly lifted up, and pierced directly into the ceiling.
A figure turned over and quickly dodged downwards, looking at Mo Ye, with a regretful tone, "It was discovered"
This person is a saint, not a common elemental attribute but a supernatural being with special attributes.
A rare control-type ability user with the ability to control a certain type of creature, which can be a beast, a zerg, a microorganism, or even a human.
The one Mo Ye was facing obviously had the ability to control single-cell phagocytic worms.
Dense black dots appeared on the originally flat floor, and they suddenly started to move, rising from the ground to form a vortex upward and rushing towards Mo Ye.
Such a person should obviously sit in the rear and play dirty tricks under a lot of protection and concealment, so that he can appear in front of the enemy in such a big way, are you sure this is not exposing himself?
Under the carpet is actually full of small black dots. The most frightening thing about these things is that not only are they small in size and difficult to detect with the naked eye, but even the fluctuations in mental power can be ignored due to the problem of single cells.
