Chapter 680 The Pope in the Corridor
The compact Giant Turtle Yantai nimbly approached the black battleship floating silently in space. At this time, the latter could no longer see the majesty it had at the beginning. It was like a dying giant beast floating quietly in the cold and dead darkness, with bright arcs and light groups bursting out from the surface from time to time. In the middle of the black spacecraft, those sail-shaped crystal sheets were completely peeled off, and a huge wound almost tore the spacecraft in half. Around the wound, you can still see the red metal that has not completely cooled down, and inside the crack, you can see We arrived at some gates and stop-loss mechanisms that were not fully closed in time: These stop-loss facilities tried to block the atmospheric leakage of the spacecraft, but the wounds were too large, and they did not have much effect. A large amount of gas and fine debris came from the black spacecraft. Several cracks spurted out, like blood splattering.
However, Hao Ren is not worried that the gas leak will cause the death of the brain monster in the spacecraft. He once tested the physical fitness of the monster and found that the latter can survive in the space environment for a long time. The airtight measures taken by the black spacecraft should only be to increase comfort. speed, or it may be due to the physiological habits of the brain monster when he was a giant.
"The energy network of the enemy ship is disordered. It is initially concluded that its artillery has lost its ability to counterattack. In addition, the possibility of self-destruction has been ruled out." The data terminal carefully checked the data. After all, the black spacecraft still has certain technical capabilities. If it is so close, Even a civilian spaceship like the Giant Turtle Yantai may not be able to escape unscathed. "This machine found a route and entered through the crack. Below is a large corridor, which should be the central axis passage of the spacecraft." .”
"Old Wang, Vivian, Lily, and Uncle Invincible, come with me to explore the way." Hao Ren quickly selected the manpower. He doesn't do it randomly either: Yzaks and Vivian are absolute combatants, they can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Although Lily sometimes gets timid, she is also very dedicated when fighting, and she "protects the Lord" "(correct) is absolutely unambiguous. As for the final Nangong Wudi, as a demon hunter with incomplete inheritance, his combat effectiveness may not be strong, but he is an experienced old hunter, whether it is his keen observation or the kind of Hunter premonitions, which are almost becoming a skill, can be very useful, especially when exploring the unknown.
Others also knew that the right person should be sent to this occasion, so they had no objection to Hao Ren's arrangement. Only "Go" came up and rubbed Hao Ren's arm: "Come back quickly, and then take me home quickly..."
She was already a little scared.
Hao Ren nodded and led a small group of people to leave the bridge. A moment later, they had reached the surface of the black battleship through the hypertime ejection device.
The crack torn apart by the nether energy bombardment lay in front of the group of people. When they were far away, it looked like nothing. When Lily got closer, she realized that it was big enough to throw a house into it. The black metal near the crack curled up into space, while bursts of airflow carrying metal debris continued to spurt out of the hole. Lily carefully stood still in the airflow and looked down: "The lights inside seem to be still on."
"It seems that there is still some energy supply in the spacecraft." Hao Ren checked the shield capacity, and after confirming that it was correct, he took the lead and flew down into the airflow with his spear in hand. "Everyone, be careful to follow and don't disturb things around you."
They carefully walked through a clump of broken metal, and soon passed a large number of damaged pipes and supports near the breach, and a half-closed gate appeared in front of everyone. The mechanical device above the gate is not completely damaged, but it may be stuck in some places. It is shaking up and down in an attempt to seal off the corridor. Yzaks stepped forward to hold the gate to prevent it from falling suddenly, and the others filed into the spacecraft.
A super wide and huge corridor stretched out in front of Hao Ren's eyes. The corridor was crooked and the metal plates had fallen off in some places. However, the lights above the corridor miraculously maintained their operation, allowing people to see everything inside clearly. .
"There is a weak gravity." Hao Ren found that he was falling downwards, and finally stepped lightly on the floor of the corridor. However, it was not comfortable to stand because the gravity field in the corridor was skewed, forming at least three angles with the ground. At a ten-degree angle, "The gravity generator has not completely shut down... This viewing angle is really uncomfortable. It makes you feel dizzy when you see things. Everyone, pay attention to the direction of gravity under your feet. The system here is broken. The magnitude and direction of gravity may change at any time. Don't go there." It’s too late to react.”
Lily said she wasn't worried about this at all: because she usually couldn't react to anything that happened...
"Did we break it?" After walking not far, Vivian saw through a big hole on the side of the corridor that there was a mess inside the ship, with a large number of old and messy pipelines and mechanical devices entangled together. The shabby appearance seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. "It doesn't feel like the effect of artillery."
Hao Ren made a judgment: "Well... it's not damage caused by artillery, and there is no breach on the opposite side. It should have been broken from the beginning. It seems that the ship has not been completely repaired. The brain monster should have seen the situation getting worse. It became more and more out of control and had no choice but to take off early."
Vivian touched her chin: "No wonder it was solved so easily by the Giant Turtle Yantai. Let me tell you, after all, it was a spaceship that could easily destroy Io."
Hao Ren curled his lips: "Anyway, I got a bargain, which is a good thing."
"The brain monster should be able to sense our entry - if he is still alive," Yzaks reminded everyone, "Don't drop the protective crystal."
Everyone confirmed the status of the protective crystal and then continued to move forward cautiously. The size of this spacecraft is surprising. If you explore aimlessly, it may be difficult to find the brain monster in time, but the Giant Turtle Yantai is scanning the entire spacecraft outside, and it provides navigation for the exploration team inside the spacecraft. , let everyone know which direction to go. Now that the spacecraft's systems have been destroyed and the brain monster is probably seriously injured, there is no longer any interference that can prevent everyone from catching him.
After walking for a while, Nangong Wudi suddenly stopped. There was a glimmer in his eyes, and in the special hunter's field of vision, he saw a faint shadow floating in front of the corridor. The shadow was floating, and he could vaguely see it was a human being wearing a robe.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren noticed Nangong Wudi's movements and turned to ask.
"There is a soul staying here, but it is very weak. Only hunters can see it." Nangong Wudi reached out and took out a few rune cards from his arms. "Take them. These runes can enhance your sense of the soul. You You can see him too.”
Yzaks didn't answer: "I don't have to, I can see souls. This is my professional field."
After taking the rune card, Hao Ren saw the figure standing in the corridor as expected. He looked at the translucent shadow in astonishment and finally recognized who it was from the characteristics of the other person's simple robe and beard. : "Pope? Are you still there?"
This soul wandering in the black battleship is suddenly the Pope who committed martyrdom and self-destructed in order to prevent the global electromagnetic storm!
But the pope who has turned into a soul now is a little different from what he was in life. He looks older and his body is severely stooped. Even though he is just a soul, he still looks like he is in his twilight years. After he saw Hao Ren and his entourage appearing in this place, he was stunned for a while. It seemed that his spiritual transformation had affected his thinking, but in the end he remembered who these people were. Hao Ren heard an old voice and said directly It rang in his mind: "You are actually able to come here... Foreigners are really not simple."
"Pope, why are you here?" Lily said bluntly, "Aren't you dead?"
"Dead? Oh, yes, that's true," the Pope nodded slowly, "I can feel the goddess calling... It seems I don't have much time to stay here. This is really an incredible place, So vast, so subtle... There are too many truths and secrets in the world. It's a pity that I don't have time to study these things... But I think the goddess will let me see more..."
Hao Ren saw that the Pope's figure was slowly fading, and he quickly seized the last moment: "Let's catch that monster. Do you know the situation here?"
"He is right in front, past the door," the pope raised his almost transparent finger and pointed at the end of the corridor, "but don't call him a monster. We mortals owe him and the goddess. I think I am not qualified. I beg for his forgiveness, but you... you foreigners, maybe you can talk to him."
"Owe him?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, but just when he wanted to ask something else, the Pope's figure had completely disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in everyone's mind: "The goddess is calling me... Goodbye Alright, foreigners..."
(It’s the end of the month. Let’s check the monthly pass inventory. If you have one, how many monthly passes can you give me?)
