The ships built by the rebels have the same flamboyant and ostentatious atmosphere as themselves, and inside this palace-like space giant, every corridor, every piece of equipment, and every object is carefully decorated and laid out.Its hallways are spacious and bright, with graceful curved vaults with pale gold, tassel-like luminescence hanging from the vaults, and crystal clear rough stones hanging from the ends.On the walls on either side of the corridor, there are countless reliefs that depict religious legends in a delicate artistic way, including the struggle against natural disasters, mystical rituals related to the stars, and the domestication of various dangerous beasts.The protagonists are of course all tall and handsome "perfect humans", either dressed in holy armor or robes of wisdom and learning, who act as saviors or guides in each picture, while a variety of other species, including similar but more emaciated humans, are prostrate at the feet of these "gods".Hao Ren felt that he was walking more like walking in a magnificent temple than walking in a battleship, and if it weren't for the technological facilities where the occasional flickering lights could be seen between the reliefs and statues, he would have almost forgotten that this was a spaceship floating in space.Itzhax walked beside Hao Ren, casually surveying the rich decorations around him as he went, the golden and beautifully decorated corridors reminded him of something from his homeland - the elves who loved art and the human kingdom with a long history would build something similar, although it was slightly less luxurious, but in terms of "fine works of art", the two were very similar."
If it's not a weapon, it's a good work of art," said Itzhax with a laugh, "but it's a pity that such decoration should not be on the battlefield, as a battleship is too luxurious and unnecessary." ”"Luxury on the battlefield, human beings have also had such a period, but it was ancient - it is hard to imagine that a space civilization would maintain this atmosphere," Hao Ren shook his head, "These rebels have completely gone mad, and becoming gods is still an illusory matter, so they hurriedly pasted their statues with gold." ”Lily poked around the passing statue with her claws of ice and fire, muttering as she poked, "Collective convulsions, this happens in any society from time to time, but these guys have a little more convulsions."
Anyway, it looks like there's really no one in this ship, huh?
”The data terminal floated at the front of the line, constantly sweeping around with a blue beam, detecting the flow of energy in the walls of the hallway and the remnants of life in the vicinity: "No signs of life have been found - except for microorganisms.The ship's power appears to be intact, and regular signal transmission can be detected, and the ship's underlying systems should still be functioning automatically.The core system seems to be offline, and the machine checks for a silent line, which runs through the entire ship, through which we can find the location of the ship's main engine and figure out the general structure of the ship. ”Hao Ren sighed a little absent-mindedly, although he was concerned about the structure of this spaceship, he was more concerned about the whereabouts of the crew here.This place of golden splendor, every inch of it looked graceful and luxurious, but at the moment it was lifeless, suspended in space like a cold artifact, and he wondered why.Along the way, he did not find any signs of damage, and there was no sign of an outbreak of battle on the walls of the corridor, 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 ship and escape, and also because no obvious external injuries were found on the outside, it can be ruled out that the battleship was abandoned when it was damaged.The ship was abandoned in a completely intact state.They came to the end of the hallway, where there was a Y-shaped fork and a door, right in the middle of the fork, which might have been a temporary resting place for the staff.Lily scratched the metal door with her claws, "What's behind this?"
”Hao Ren slapped the husky girl aside to stop her from continuing to make noise, and then stepped forward to check the status of the gate, the energy source of the access control system should be fine, but he didn't know how to open it.He searched around the door, and finally looked at the sides of the gate: there were two small symmetrical sculptures of some kind of beast with fangs and an elongated face.Hao Ren subconsciously put his hand on the sculpture's head, and heard a slight sizzling sound coming from the wall, and then the gate slid open to both sides."
This thing reminds me of those tomb traps in the TV series," Hao Ren smacked his lips, "and the design is quite retro." ”Behind the gate was a small rectangular room, a lounge as Hao Ren had guessed.In the room, you can see some large soft chairs and long metal tables, which are still noticeable.Hao Ren walked into the room quickly, and saw that there were strange-looking cutlery on the metal tables, some of which had not been touched at all, and a holographic projection was suspended in the corner of the room, which showed a cabin that no one had yet detected.Lily's first reaction when she saw the food on the table was to exclaim, "Ah, so they eat too?"
”"Nonsense, Raven 12345 still eats instant noodles to relieve boredom, not to mention these guys who are not even demigods," Hao Ren said as he reached for a drink on the table, expectedly......
It's cold, "Well, it looks like I've been away for a while." ”Izzax looked at the scene inside the room, and his brows slowly furrowed: "The food was on the table, and the projector didn't have time to turn off, but other than that, there was no trace of a fight, they should have evacuated suddenly, and the reason for the evacuation was not because of violence."
Judging from the situation at the scene, although they left here in a hurry, there was no confusion, so it is very likely that the reason for the crew to abandon the ship and escape was the order of the superiors. ”Hao Ren's answer was only three words: "Keep looking." ”The order to retreat should have been issued from the bridge or a command center with a similar function, so the target was tentatively fixed there.The data terminal hacked into the data lines buried in the corridor to find the module of the suspected command center, and led the group all the way to the depths of the ship.As they went deeper, they found more evidence that the ship's crew was evacuated urgently under unified order.They found more activity sections, with break rooms, meeting rooms, dormitories, and a variety of workshops, each of which showed signs of abrupt abandonment: food was left untouched on the table, personal belongings were discarded in the corners of the room, some equipment was still on, and in some rooms there were even clothes discarded on the bed, as if the owner of the room had suddenly run out in the middle of changing clothes.This kind of emergency evacuation situation can be described as panicking, and Hao Ren couldn't help but wonder under what circumstances those rebels who always dressed themselves up as majestic as gods made such panicked actions.Eventually, they found a wide corridor leading to the deepest part of the ship, and at the end of the corridor was a gate large enough for a giant like Muru to enter, made of crystal and carved with images of the gods.It was taller and more beautiful than every door it had ever encountered, and the data terminal confirmed that behind the door was the ship's control center by invading the surrounding wiring.This time, Hao Ren couldn't find where the control switch of the door was, and Lily used her claws to pry the crack of the door: "This thing is so strong!"
”Hao Ren looked around, and confirmed that the control method of this door was different from the previous small gates that could be opened with statues, and he knocked on the shell of the data terminal: "Is this door connected to a self-destruct or some other warning switch?"
”The data terminal tapped twice on the door: "No, just a simple access control system." ”Hao Ren patted Yizax's arm: "Come on for some technical support." ”Itzhax was stunned for a moment at first, but he quickly reacted, he rolled up his sleeves and summoned a hellish lava out of thin air, and smashed it towards the door with this murderous weapon: "Hide it!"
”Lily was pulling the crack in the door with her head down, and when she looked up, she saw a fireball the size of a calf flying over her head, and she snorted behind Hao Ren, followed by a loud bang that spread through the hallway.Lily jumped to her feet in a cloud of smoke and shouted, "Don't be so sudden!
Give yourself some reaction time and you'll die!
”"When he says the word technical support, you should realize that it is going to explode," the data terminal said shyly, "It is worthy of being the partner of the machine, and now the work style is getting better and better!"
