Chapter 936: Ark
When Hao Ren had begun to seriously consider whether these arks were completely smashed, unexpected good news suddenly came: a group of detectors captured the life reaction when they entered one of the arks, and it was a very strong life. reaction.
The giant turtle Iwat immediately lit up his propeller, and it glided quickly and silently in space, and soon reached the ark that passed the life signal. The silver-white spacecraft slowly descended on the black outer shell of the ark, reading the information from the depths of the ark like a delicate stethoscope.
“Is this ship?” Hao Ren looked at the picture from the external monitor. The Ark is no different from other spaceships. It looks equally old and even the armor is even worse. It is hard to imagine that the last survivors of these refugees will be hidden under the several-kilometer-thick shell.
"There is a life reaction, the detector has already captured, the engineering drone is building a temporary air lock below, so that you can come in and out," Nolan nodded. "The detector did not find a way to open the door normally. It is a drill." The leaking point that Kong entered now is automatically blocked."
“The automatic blocking system is still in operation. It seems that there are survivors,” Hao Ren said. “Communication? Does anyone in this boat respond to your call? Anyone willing to respond to our contact? ”
Nolan gently shook his head: "There is still no one to respond, this is the strangest. In addition, the detector sends back some pictures that are not quite right."
As she spoke and opened the holographic projection, Hao Ren saw a broken city lit by the lights. Everything looked old and decaying. The city in the ship seemed to hang like a ruin in front of his eyes, and then the picture shook. For a moment, a man with a ragged shirt and strange lines on his face appeared in the corner of the picture, which is obviously an Ark resident. The ragged man ran out of his feet and then kneeled down the street. He seemed to be bowing to a great character, and then he remained in this position and did not move.
This innocent video clip makes Hao Ren feel inexplicable. He glanced at the other people and decided to check the situation in person.
He still brought Vivian and Lily and the Nangong brothers and sisters. Others continue to stand by the giant turtle rock.
The engineering drone that had previously cut the outer shell of the ark and drilled into its deep layer had prepared the passage. Hao Ren and his entourage entered the normal surface airlock as usual, and merged with the drone after passing through the long corridor. This time they did not intend to enter the inboard city through the broken elevator shaft. Because the ship's ecosystem is intact, opening the door from the outside may trigger some kind of alarm or the spacecraft's automatic stress response. Instead, the drone drilled a slender hole in the outer shell of the ship's city and installed an airlock device at the hole. The drone moved very quickly, at least it did not trigger an alarm while the project was in progress.
The “sneak in” process went very smoothly.
Hao Renyi walked into the airlock. Through a passage that is hundreds of meters long, the outer wall of the passage is still hot, and the high temperature generated when the drone is cut has not dissipated. And as they walked halfway through the channel, gravity appeared: this gravity wanted to throw them out of the passage, but it was a good thing because it meant that the ship's city was actually functioning.
They got out of a dirty, uninhabited waste block.
Hao Ren was the first to drill out from the “invasion hole”. As soon as he entered the city, he felt a damp, cold, and strange air filled with the nasal cavity. This smell can also be smelled in the passage. . But it is more obvious after coming to the surface. He subconsciously frowned: Although it was a good thing to finally find an inboard city with an atmosphere, the atmospheric circulation pump in this place must not be good enough.
"Cough..." Lily coughed softly after she got out, and she frowned. The tail is tight behind him, "I feel like following the junkyard."
"The Ark's atmospheric purification machine may be too old." Nangong Sanqi sighed after climbing to the ground. "It's better than no air. It's a place to watch... I don't think it's better than the ruined refuge." What about the city?"
The surrounding buildings are really bad. Although the detectors have also sent back some pictures, those pictures are not as good as they are. Around the crowd, the places where the sights are located are all ruined urban buildings. The exterior walls of the building are mottled off, the roadside facilities are covered with rust and dirt, and the flower beds have long lost their original appearance and turned into dirty mud pits. In the distance, you can also see the collapsed bridges and wire towers. Some dimly lit lights are the biggest source of light in this rundown city. These lighting devices, which do not know how many years have been in operation, are hung on the top of the wires and buildings, casting a lot of mottled shadows in all directions with bad lighting.
It seems like a world war, and then it has been abandoned for three hundred years.
Lily swayed her tail: "Are we just getting into the demolition area?"
"No..." Hao Ren looked around at the head of the crowd after looking around at everything he saw. "The whole city is in this state."
Others looked in the direction of his fingers and saw that the ground on the other side of the far and closed side was also a ruined gray. The other end of the city, like here, has been abandoned for many years.
"...It looks so bad, I can't believe it is inside a starship that can sail at super speed of light," the data terminal commented. "After other spacecraft are down, the ship's people may find it hard to find." The materials are repairing their refuge."
A silver-white small device emerged from the ruins of the nearby building and fell lightly on the shoulders of Hao Ren. It was a life detector that was drilled in to see the situation. After the mission was completed, the kid stayed here to prevent accidents. At this time, I am applying for recycling.
Hao Ren put the detector into his pocket and turned to remind Lily: "Receive your ears and tails and we must deal with ‘people.'
Lily snorted, turning her ears and tail back, and then a little curious: "Do you think I can get into the locals after I become human?"
"I didn't plan to get in and just worried that you scared them," Hao Ren waved his hand and walked forward. "They refused all the communication requests from Nolan. It is difficult for me to analyze how the residents in this boat view the outsiders, so I don't want Open a bad head."
The group walked out of this deserted and ruined street and walked deep into the city: another place that was more ruined and run down. Hao Ren Road thought about how he should say hello to the first person he met. After the stylized communication of Nolan was rejected, he could only run out as a diplomat himself. What’s worse is that he is not a Skilled diplomats, so he began to conceive a variety of opening remarks in his mind, and whether he should go directly to the ship's "central control station" to meet the city's commanders. However, his thoughts only lasted for a short while, and he was suddenly interrupted by the faint voice from the front.
It sounds like someone is fighting and killing, and there is a mixture of steel and cracks in the middle.
Vivian also touched his arm: "There is bloody, fresh in front."
Hao Ren immediately stepped up: "Look at the situation in the past!"
They rushed quickly through the shadows of the surrounding buildings, swiftly crossing some of the dilapidated streets and collapsed old houses. The shouting sound from the front was finally clearer and louder, and the mixed metal crash in the middle was like the old cold. The weapon battlefield is the same. Finally, Lili, who was running in the forefront, suddenly stopped at the edge of a low wall. She quickly found a place to look around and probed the outside: "The landlord... someone is fighting!"
Hao Ren took his head out from Lily's head, and the sight in front of him suddenly surprised him. There was even a sense of absurdity in time and space.
Dozens of heavily armed people are struggling to kill in the square ahead. These people should be residents of the Ark giant ship, but their wearing equipment is absurd and weird. They were covered with iron plates and nails made of reinforced plastic. The colored strips between the gaps of the armor fluttered. These warriors waved their shiny swords and tomahawks, and they screamed and screamed at the same time. Together. The blood from the wounded splattered the red floor of the square. The **** smell in the air made Vivian's eyes glow slightly in the darkness: "This is like a battlefield in the Middle Ages."
"How could this be like this..." Hao Ren muttered in surprise, the pictures from the previous detector did not have these details, but he still had more thoughts in the future, and suddenly saw those who killed. A young soldier with a **** face, the soldier's footsteps, full of horror, seems to escape from the battlefield, and the direction of his escape is the place where Hao Ren and others hide.
