Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Horror Video in the Black Box
"How did you get in?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"We heard gunshots outside, and we were afraid that something would happen to you, so we came in and took a look." Ye Zina said that she saw the light screen of Zhang Xiu's mobile phone and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
"This is the memory of the black box, you can come and see it together." Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand to beckon.
Ye Zina unloaded the blaster gun in her hand, put it away, and walked to Zhang Xiu's side. Judging by her skillful movements, it shouldn't be the first time she has used a firearm.
Zhang Xiu began to fast-forward the video recording stored in the black box.
There was a loud noise at first, and then the image became clearer.
The video shows the cockpit, where five officers in Third Fleet uniforms sit in the cockpit, and everything is as usual.
"Watch the time." Zhang Xiu reminded.
Ye Zina and Sidney then noticed the time in the lower left corner of the image: July 12, 92 in the federal calendar.
"Fifty years ago?" Ye Zina frowned.
"The black box only records the 24 hours before the crash, after which the front image is overwritten. This shows that the ship crashed fifty years ago. Zhang Xiu added.
"But, before Vladimir said......" Ye Zina said.
"Yes, on this island, the ship apparently crashed not so long ago. But the real time was fifty years ago, which is strange. Zhang Xiu said that he had actually guessed more or less when he just walked into the ruins of the ship and found that the equipment on the ship was old goods that had been eliminated by the Federation.
"We traveled back fifty years? Is there a time machine built secretly by the Federation? Sidney exclaimed.
Zhang Xiuhan rained down: "You have read too many novels, right?" The arrow of time is the basis of the law of cause and effect, how can there be such a thing as a time crossing in the real world? ”
"And why is that?" Sidney continued.
"I have an explanation that time may not pass at the same speed on this island as it does with the outside world." Zhang Xiu continued, "Maybe only one day has passed on this island, and several years have passed outside. ”
"Is this possible?" This time it was Ye Zina who asked the question.
"A strong gravitational pull, or close to the speed of light, can have a similar effect."
"You know a lot." Sidney praised.
"Because you're all sleeping while I'm listening to physics class." Zhang Xiu was a little irritable, "Didn't you notice?" If my assumption is true, then by the time we go out, the people we know will probably be old and dead. ”
Sidney and Ye Zina are terrified.
"According to my calculations, the ship crashed on this island in about a month, which means that one day here is probably equal to two years in the outside world. If we can find a way out as soon as possible, we may have a chance to see the world we have always known again. Zhang Xiu said.
"Look at the screen!" Ye Zina pointed to the light screen and said.
The image on the light screen changed, there were originally five officers sitting in the command cabin, but now there were only two left, and if you looked closely, you could see that these two officers were lying on the ground, covered in blood, obviously dead.
Zhang Xiu rewound and slowed down the video, this time the three of them all saw it clearly, and the officers began to quarrel with each other on the way, but because the black box only recorded the image and had no sound, they didn't know what they were arguing about.
In the midst of the arguing, one officer suddenly drew a gun and began to shoot at the other four, one was shot in the chest on the spot, and the other three began to fire back, quickly killing the attacking officer as well.
After this sudden bloodshed ended, the three surviving people also left the command cabin in turn.
"Well, the internal seizure of power caused a bloody conflict that ultimately led to the crash of this spaceship?" Sidney nodded and analyzed.
"Don't talk nonsense, shut me up." Ye Zina scolded in a low voice, "Zhang Xiu, continue to let it go." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Xiu replied and continued to fast-forward the video.
Soon, an officer who had once appeared reappeared, stumbling on his feet, appearing to have drunk, holding a black object in his hand, and talking to the object.
Soon, he suddenly drew his pistol and shot indiscriminately at everything around him in a frenzied manner. No, it wasn't indiscriminately fired, it was shot at all the electronics in the command module, and the last shot hit the camera, and the image turned into a cloud of noise.
"He's crazy?" Sidney asked.
"Maybe, that's probably what happened when the ship crashed." Ye Zina nodded.
"There's an additional image behind it, which seems to be someone in this memory." Zhang Xiu controlled the light screen and said, he turned his head and asked the other two, "Do you want to take a look?" ”
"Of course you have to see, hurry up and release it." Ye Zina urged.
Zhang Xiu clicked on the file, and a face suddenly appeared on the screen.
Ye Zina screamed in a low voice, clasped Zhang Xiu's shoulders with both hands, and Sidney leaned back violently, and even Zhang Xiu was almost taken aback.
The face was thin and withered, with waxy lips, high protruding cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, which at first glance looked like a skull, and most importantly, his eyes were full of despair and death.
"This is the officer who went crazy at the end!" Sidney recognized.
After Sidney's reminder, Zhang Xiu and Ye Zina also noticed this.
The officer seemed to be holding the camera at himself to shoot, he picked up a bottle of wine and took a deep sip, then wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, he seemed to still maintain a basic calm, and said indifferently to the screen:
"I am Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhilong, belonging to the Third Fleet, and the captain of the 'Raven' air and space transport ship. He is currently the only survivor of the Raven. ”
At that moment, a human scream and roar was heard from the speaker.
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhilong was silent for a while, and continued: "The one who made the voice just now is not a survivor, Captain Rosta is no longer human, he is now the incarnation of the demon, he killed four crew members, and then I locked him in the power cabin. ”
"Yes, we have been targeted by demons, and the gods have abandoned us." Xu Zhilong continued, "This is a cursed spaceship, and anyone who sees this image, I advise you to stay away from this spaceship immediately. ”
"Hahahaha, isn't this the standard beginning of a zombie movie?" Sidney burst out laughing.
"Shut up!" "Shut up!" Ye Zina and Zhang Xiu spoke in unison.
In the video, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhilong spoke again.
"The demon took control of all the electronics first, and we were halfway through the voyage when we noticed that the course had deviated, by nearly 90 degrees, but the automatic navigation instruments did not indicate any errors."
"Just as we were trying to correct the course, we realized that we had lost control of the ship."
Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhilong took a long sip of wine, took a deep breath, and continued with a strange expression: "Any correction to the ship's route has led to the locking of the system, and we can only watch it fly to the abyss of hell. ”
