Chapter 432 Erosion
At the same time, on the bridge of Steel Hammer, the atmosphere was still extremely tense. The captain sat on the chair with a gloomy expression. The crew below did not dare to speak. Although they had long known that the matter that required the Inquisitor to deal with must be unusual, they did not expect it to be so dangerous...
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please protect us..."
The captain silently grabbed the pendant on his chest and prayed quietly, and at this moment...
"drop-----!"
Suddenly, a harsh communication tone sounded, startling the captain. Before he could react, he heard a rapid sound.
"Report to Captain, there is a riot in the lower ship area!"
"What? Riot?!"
Upon hearing this, the captain jumped up.
"What's going on? Why is there a riot?"
"I don't know, there are a few people who suddenly seem to be crazy... Damn, stop them! Tie them up... Damn... catch them, damn...!!!"
However, the other party only reported half of the report. It seemed that something had happened again, and he went to deal with it with curses. The entire bridge was dead silent. Only the roars and curses from the other side could be heard, as well as wailing and screaming. It was extremely chaotic. People don't know what to do.
After another moment, the voice appeared again.
"Report to the captain, these people are crazy, they actually committed suicide!"
"suicide?"
Hearing this, everyone on the bridge was stunned.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?"
"I don't know. Since the entire cabin was closed, we have just stayed here honestly. We have no idea why it happened..."
"drop---!!"
However, the report was not finished here yet. Soon, the urgent alarm sounded again, and then another voice emerged.
"Report, there is a riot in the engine room!"
"Upper deck..."
"Living Area………"
"What happened?"
Listening to the reports coming from the landing one after another, the captain also looked gloomy. Although these reports were in different locations, the news was the same, that is, someone suddenly went crazy and started attacking others. Even if they are subdued, these people will struggle desperately and even harm themselves! Even if you ask them what's going on, they won't tell you. They only say that they want to kill someone or... commit suicide!
"W-what happened here...!"
At this moment, the captain was also beating a drum deep in his heart.
He felt like this time... something was really going to go wrong!
At the same time, in the mining area, Duanmu Huai held a war hammer in his hand and marched forward!
"Wow-----!!"
When Duanmu Huai rushed around the corner, he suddenly saw the ventilation fan next to him suddenly burst. Then a mutant jumped out of it, roaring like a beast, raising two claws with sharp bone spurs and heading towards Duanmu Huai. Huai pounced. At the same time, in front of him, there were several mutants also rushing towards Duanmu Huai!
"Go to hell!"
Facing these mutants, Duanmu Huai roared angrily and swung down the warhammer in his hand, smashing the mutants in front of him into pieces. Then he grabbed the other mutant who tried to pounce on his back and stabbed it with his backhand. The claws thrust forward like a sword, directly piercing the body of another mutant and nailing it to the wall. Then Duanmuhuai raised the war hammer and swung it over again, like smashing nails. The two mutants were hit with a hammer, and with a loud "bang" sound, the two mutants were directly smashed into a bloody mess and merged together, no longer distinguishable from each other.
"Ugh...it's really disgusting..."
Looking at the corpse in front of her, An looked pale. Although she had fought with Duanmu Huai many times and had seen many similar monsters, this was the first time she had seen one as ugly as the mutant in front of her.
“You’ll get used to it after seeing it too much.”
Of course Duanmuhuai understood why An found these monsters disgusting. It was obvious that these mutants were all mutated from humans. Their appearance was basically the same. The palms of both hands split open, and a pair of sharp bone spurs sprang out from the inside. , and their abdomens are also split, and not only are the large and small intestines intertwined together, but there are actually two arms coming out from both sides of the abdomen!
In addition, their mouths are split like bugs and they have no jaws. It is indeed scary at first glance.
Hmm... It would be interesting to give this thing to a chicken thief to become the four-armed god emperor.
but……………
Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed one of the mutants, and looked at it carefully. Judging from the appearance, this guy should be a miner, and there was a fatal wound on his chest, which meant that he had been killed before, and later It mutates again - this is not surprising, the strange thing is...it is not alive!
But dead!
In other words, these corpses themselves are dead! But they are controlled by something, so they move.
Its essence is no different from the puppets controlled by Ogis. If there are no puppet strings, it would look like those puppets have come to life.
So it seems that those who manipulate them should be desecrating sacred objects.
Now Duanmu Huai also understood why his puppet was attacked and the system stopped responding.
Because in the system's judgment, these things themselves are not alive. It is like you being hit by a chair or a table. The system cannot prompt "The chair attacks you and causes X points of damage."
He has no self-awareness at all, so how can it be considered an attack?
Similarly, just like those workers working in a factory who were accidentally crushed by a machine and cut off their hands, you can't say that the machine attacked the workers.
They were just working according to the procedures. What did they do wrong?
So even if your doll is torn into pieces by these mutants, the system will not determine that it was caused by an attack.
Of course, it makes no sense to say this now.
"just in front."
Duanmu Huai looked at the map on the passage next to him again. When he came here, he had already heard the captain's introduction. The mining area is not really mining here, but needs to be scanned with an auspicious device first and then the scope and size of the mineral deposits can be locked. , and then send the mining team to drill holes, and then collect all the ores for processing and refining.
So the mining team will first drill holes in the planetary debris, then mine, transport, and refine it.
The elevator that Duanmu Huai came down from before was one of the transport tunnels, so he could walk along this tunnel to get here. From the map on the wall, it seemed that the center of the mineral deposits was in front of him. If it was correct, then it would be a blasphemy. The thing should be in here.
"get ready."
Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and stared ahead. He could feel the vague aura of divine power coming from the front. It was a twisted, cold and full of strange aura of divine power. Although he didn't know what it was. It was left behind by some god, but it is certain that this god was probably not serious at the time.
"Um."
An and Ojis also became serious now. Along the way, they also found that these mutants were difficult to deal with. Unless they were completely destroyed, these guys could get up even if half of their bodies were cut open, even if they were hit. Even if they hit the vital points, they have to be cut into pieces... This is very scary!
"Okay, let's go!"
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and suddenly hit the switch next to him. Then the gate suddenly opened. Then Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and rushed in, shouting loudly! Then……………
"…………………Meow meow meow?"
Looking at the big pit in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't even speak human words.
Why is it empty?
"Owner?"
"Hey? What's going on? There's nothing??"
At this moment, Ogis and An also rushed in, looking at the empty mine in front of them with equally confused faces. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai's expression changed slightly and his eyes narrowed.
"No, I was fooled!"
The reason why Duanmu Huai said this was very simple, because he could feel the aura of divine power outside from the moment he arrived on the ship, so at that time he subconsciously thought that the sacrilegious artifact should be dug in the Hammer of Steel. On the piece of debris that came out, Duanmu Huai didn't expect that this was actually a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Damn it, has this thing really become a spirit after being left for tens of thousands of years?
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also hurriedly opened the communication and tried to contact the bridge, but the communication was completely interfered with. Fortunately, Duanmuhuai had anticipated this and hurriedly contacted Gu Leiya - it was no secret that soul walkers could communicate with soul cards.
"Gulea, what happened to you over there?"
"Mr. Knight!!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's voice, Gu Leiya also let out a sigh of relief.
"You finally responded. The situation here is not good! Those, those crew members suddenly started..."
While talking, Gu Leya also hurriedly told Duanmu Huai about the matter.
To put it simply, at the beginning, a riot broke out on the ship. Many quarantined crew members got nervous for some unknown reason and began to attack others. After being subdued, these people either harmed themselves or committed suicide. Many people died. At that time, the crew also asked the captain how to deal with it. The captain said that he would contact the inquisitor, but he could not be contacted. Gu Leiya originally wanted to inform Duanmu Huai at that time, but what happened next was far beyond their expectations!
Soon, reports came again from crew members everywhere, saying that those who had died before suddenly came back to life and turned into some kind of monsters that they couldn't defeat at all! And because the cabin was blocked, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to! Many people begged the captain to lift the quarantine immediately, otherwise they would be dead!
However, faced with this situation, the captain still insisted on not lifting the quarantine. They also saw the scene of those monsters killing the crew through the internal video, and they were also shocked!
And these monsters naturally launched an attack on the bridge!
Fortunately, Gu Leiya and Lani were there, so these monsters were not able to break through, but these monsters also made Gu Leiya feel excited.
"Mr. Knight, what on earth is going on..."
"Hey, this thing has become a sperm!"
After hearing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't guess that he had been fooled! Although the other party is also a crippled god, and it is understandable that he capsized in the gutter, but this does not mean that Duanmu Huai is not angry!
But he still knew his priorities.
"Gulea, ask the captain how many raw material elevators there are! Where are they located!"
Now Duanmu Huai can guess without guessing that the blasphemous holy object has definitely been transported away, but since he didn't see the shadow of the blasphemous holy object on the road he took, it means that the blasphemous holy object was transported from somewhere else! And the reason why such a thing happened before was completely because the blasphemous holy object was remotely controlled, in order to make people mistakenly believe that it was still down there, but in fact the real body had already sneaked onto the ship without anyone noticing!
"Ah, okay... The captain said there are two raw material elevators!"
"You guard the bridge, I'll go back now!"
Duanmu Huai quickly gave the order, then raised his head and looked at the passage ahead, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
Good guy, you dare to lie to me?
I'll smash your brains out!
