Chapter 70: Flour

The K34 galaxy, a mining rescue ship over planet G2. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss, we have seen the distress boat, and it is expected to dock within thirty minutes." The crew of the ship is reporting to the boss via video conferencing.

"My eyes are wide open, there have been a lot of ordinary accidents and rescue boat accidents recently, there may be something bad."

As the owner of the rescue ship said, the K34 galaxy received a total of 63 distress signals from spaceships this month, more than half of which were not combat damage. What is even more difficult to understand is that thirty of the people of the ship involved in the rescue have mysteriously disappeared!

In these cases, the rescuers are well aware that all the personnel and equipment to enter the rescue procedure before entering the connection state have been fully inspected and disinfected in the isolation cabin.

The rescue hatch was opened from the outside, and as soon as the passage opened, the rescue team of twelve people immediately had two guys wearing strange helmets take two steps forward to observe the sealing barge. The two men's helmets were two laps larger than their teammates' and had six pillars on the outside, with the entire helmet even larger than the team members next to them wearing power armor.

"There are no signs of nanobiological invasion."

This is a special rescue nano biological detection helmet, in the history of the galaxy era, non-combat shipwrecked spacecraft and caused all the deaths, about 7% of the cases are caused by medical nano machines/biological leakage or mutations, which came into being non-stationary portable nano detectors, they are worn on the human head, the accuracy can not be compared with the fixed type, but can also observe even the slightest signs of nano biological invasion within 30 meters.

After confirming the safety of the barge, the group carefully passed through the barge, closed the passage from the side of the rescue ship, and began to check the situation inside the rescue ship.

Since the rescue ship has not received any manual communication until now, the rescue team did not dare to take it lightly, and did not pursue the speed of action, so they carefully checked the entire rescue channel thoroughly.

"What the hell did they encounter, the escape equipment hasn't been touched!"

There are two types of rescue channels, rescue isolation room and escape rescue channel, the difference mainly depends on the size of the ship. The ship's rescue isolation room is a completely enclosed space, which can only be opened from the outside, and cannot be accessed from the inside.

The rescue channel that the rescue team is now facing belongs to several rescue channels on a ship, which are connected to individual or group escape pods at the same time. The rescue passage intersects with the range of movement of the ship's personnel, and if it were not for the direct explosion of the ship, theoretically there would have been a crew member who could have reached the escape route anyway, but now the rescue passage reached by the rescue team has no sign of use.

After getting the test results, the rescue captain had a conversation with the bridge control room of the rescue ship.

"Xiaomei, do you hear our results?"

"Heard, the results of the inspection in the control room are intact, the rescue procedure of this model will not open until the launch cover of the rescue equipment starts in the control room, we can't check the number outside, do we need other help?"

"What about the results of the vital signature scan?"

"There's too little data coming back now, and nothing has been found yet."

There are three kinds of life characteristics scanning of rescue ships, and the shipborne scanning starts from the outside, and the effect is very poor in the face of the battleship in front of you; The second is the attachment compartment attachment equipment, which is much more powerful than the third portable model carried by personnel, but under the layers of isolation of the battleship, it also needs to be expanded by the range of personnel to search for more features.

There was no way, the work still had to continue, and the rescue team moved slowly, gradually expanding and leaving patch scouts in the places they had already passed to help them grasp the real-time dynamics on the rescue battleship.

If it weren't for the recent rumors, the SMD scout and power armor would not have been used in such a mining rescue ship at all, and the scanner/detector integrated into the rescue spacesuit would be enough to deal with 99% of the situation.

After half an hour of operation, the cautious and heavily armed rescue team finally made a discovery.

The various equipment of the rescue ship worked together to mark a humanoid living body for the rescue team three walls in advance.

Found a living person, but at this time, none of the twelve members of the rescue team were happy, the whole thing was really weird. In half an hour they had already inspected six passages, involving two decks, and had shortened the distance in a straight line to the core by a hundred meters, which, depending on the capabilities of the equipment, should have affected at least a quarter of the ship. If it had been a modified armed merchant ship, the density of its personnel would barely be justified, but the ship's final departure record showed that it had a hundred and thirty people on board!

Regardless of the psychological activity, the rescue team still had to contact the living, but the hatch on the battleship did not have the cooperation of the control room, even if there were professional rescue equipment and the corresponding automatic weapon command, there was no way to move in a straight line with the way of opening the wall like the marines, and the group finally continued to circle for twenty minutes before reaching the wall where the living person was found.

Previously discovered living humanoids have been confirmed to be living humans, and a second living person has still not been found.

"He's infected." Separated by a transparent observation wall, a team member wearing a nano-bioprobe helmet said.

"Infected with what?"

"Tetanus, perhaps?"

"What?"

"I don't know, the database shows only 55 percent of the match, and we're going to have to go in and untie his bandages."

"Okay, we've got guns, power armor switched to auto-defense mode, I'll go in and have a look."

The automatic defense mode of power armor is much better than the reaction and accuracy of people, although miscalculations occur from time to time and are not very useful in actual combat, but it is still good when the current personnel composition is relatively simple.

The captain opened the door with the help of the control room of the rescue ship through the equipment in his hands.

Just as the door was opened, the man on the hospital bed moved and opened his eyes, as if awakened by the sound of the door opening.

"We are a mining rescue ship of the Development Bank, do you know what happened to our ship?"

"Mining rescue ship?" The man on the hospital bed spoke, looking at the surrounding environment, "The equipment is working, why rescue?" ”

"You don't know? We've checked half of it, and so far we've found only you, and the others don't even have bodies. ”

"Wouldn't it be better to have corpses?" The man suddenly asked a creepy question.

The captain was just about to respond, when a voice sounded directly in his ears: "Retreat!" He has an air virus on him! ”

In a strange environment, it is not trivial for an air virus to suddenly emerge from the only living person or around him.

One of the two people who stood by the door as required to use the power armor directly shot the man in the hospital bed with a hole in his head, and the captain also relied on the magnetic ring under the foot of the spacesuit to withdraw from the medical room as soon as possible in this gravity simulation shutdown environment.

Pulling out the main control computer connector, the first time the door was blocked, the captain, who had always seemed quite calm, asked a little hurriedly: "Help me see if I have anything on me." ”

"It doesn't look like it did."

"Not sure?"

"Nope."

"That'...... Shall we continue? The captain, who was almost killed, was also uncertain.

"I would advise everyone to go back and disinfect and cancel the operation." At this time, another team member wearing a nano-biological detection helmet said, "It doesn't seem that the thing inside is a virus." ”

"Huh!?" The probe helmet carrier, who was fully focused on his teammates, only then returned to the ward, where the man who had just been shot was "vaporizing"! Although the naked eye could not see the change in a short period of time, the various icon data in the helmet showed that the vaporization speed was very fast, and in less than a minute, the total weight of the man had dropped by nearly two hundred grams!

"Captain, I also think it's better to go back, the situation is too strange."

With the approval of the captain, a group of twelve people returned the same way as fast as possible, but there were too many semi-repeated routes across a wall, and it still took them more than ten minutes to return to the isolation cabin to start the disinfection procedure.

Unfortunately, until now, no one had noticed that the object they were supposed to avoid was not the vaporized people or viruses in the ward at all, but a very large animal, the mites.

The computing power of the second world is not enough to simulate all mites in real time, so like most microscopic cases, mites are displayed in a quantum state, i.e., only exist when noticed. Eighty percent of the indoor dust is dead skin and other things that fall off from human bodies, and it is normal for these things to be mixed with some mites that do not "self-detonate", they cannot be observed by the naked eye, and at the same time, the body size is much larger than those dangerous things that need to be observed, and will be automatically filtered out by microscopic observation methods, so they are in the observation blind spot of various observation equipment, and are taken to the isolation chamber by the rescue team.

Real mites will definitely die under the means of disinfection, after all, this is disinfection of equipment, the environment is far more stringent than disinfection of the skin, but maybe there are those who can survive?

In the bridge control room, a ghostly object watched the picture of the ship's surveillance equipment from the captain's platform, and the shape of this thing seemed to be composed of a pile of flour-like particles suspended matter, but it faintly glowed a little metallic white.

The "flour" shook in the air a few times, and even made a voice that seemed to be human: "It's all dead, space is still not good." ”

Flour, the fifth Great Demon King, unlike the other Great Demon Kings who use planets as food units, has a small appetite, but he is the only ally who can provide high-definition high-target star maps to other Great Demon Kings, and may evolve into even more terrible disasters in the future.

With the last few movements before the Flour's ghostly form dissipated, the ship's logbook for rescue was missing a few tens of minutes, and it seemed that it would be a long time before anyone noticed the Flour's presence.
