Chapter 44: Interstellar Ghosts
With the first failure, Zhang Qifan almost immediately wondered if he had jumped to the wrong place again, didn't he say that the shelter defense system was perfect and a safe place? How could it be a post-war ruin?
Countless spaceships were scattered in a range of tens of millions of kilometers, and pulled out a clear trajectory, extending all the way to the depths of the void.
These ships have a relatively unified characteristic, the general hull remains intact, even if there is damage, it is basically not very strict, it is all collision damage.
But all ships, intact and damaged, were visibly incapacitated and floating in the void.
These ships are very diverse, and from the appearance and material alone, it can be seen that there are different types of civilization characteristics such as scientific and technological civilization, energy civilization, biological civilization, etc.
These ships are scattered over these wide areas, and have a clear trajectory that extends into the depths of the void, as if they were being chased by something, and there are ships left behind along the way, and finally chased to this place to be completely annihilated.
Directly in front of the Eun, on a metal ship, the corpses of one or two creatures floated out from time to time in a large hole that had been broken by the impact.
This metal ship is clearly a technological civilization, and its race is also a humanoid carbon-based creature, somewhat similar to humans, but a little more slender and with purple skin.
All the expressions on the corpses that floated out remained horrified, smiling, painful, or nervous, and the expressions of all the corpses were almost lifelike, but there were no obvious injuries on the body.
See the expressions on these corpses. Schillbins couldn't help but exclaim, "Interstellar ghosts! It's an interstellar ghost! ”
This noun shocked Zhang Qifan, and subconsciously threw himself out of the porthole, and his soul extended outward.
His soul swept over the ship closest to the Eon. Scanning over the corpses, he found the information he needed in the blink of an eye.
"The time of death is not more than a week, all the souls are gone, there is no residue, and there is no generation of death breath inside and outside the ship."
Zhang Qifan quickly informed everyone of what he had learned.
Now that Ewen is full of undead creatures except for Zhang Qifan, he naturally knows what these situations represent.
"Their souls are devoured?! Do interstellar ghosts live by devouring the souls of living beings? Is it undead? Schneider asked quickly.
With Schneider's inquiry. All eyes were on Siebbins and Ferror, and they were the only two on the ship who knew a little about the interstellar ghosts, and the rest had only heard the name.
Sibbins smiled wryly at everyone's gaze: "I've only heard this name on all the information about the asylum. I've never touched anything like this, and I don't know anything about it. ”
Ferrore thought for a moment, and responded, "I've seen it in the Exotic Species Guide, but there is not much information. I only know that this is a spiritual lifeform. As for whether it's an undead or not, I don't know. However, if we use us as a standard, even if the interstellar ghost is an undead creature, it will be tens of thousands of times stronger than us. ”
"It is rumored to move at the standard speed of light in positive space, but it doesn't seem to be able to move faster than the speed of light. Its spirit is incomparably powerful, and it can envelop a planet lightly, once slaughtering a planet, and the creatures of the entire planet die almost at the same time. Before and after thinking about it, it was less than half a minute. ”
"A lot of information about interstellar ghosts is basically rumors and speculation. Because few of the creatures that have encountered it survive. ”
Most of the people on the bridge were frightened by Ferrore's description, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhang Qifan, and many people had a sense of retreat in their eyes.
The wreckage of ships everywhere outside is the best illustration of the strength of the interstellar ghosts, and in this case, the Titans' shelter is estimated to be less auspicious.
This is a shelter with perfect defenses, which even a fifth-level civilization may not be sure to capture, but it was destroyed by interstellar ghosts, and by the way, all kinds of different races were wiped out, and such a powerful creature was not something they could provoke at all.
The catastrophe that happened a week ago is an insignificant unit in this interstellar span, and it is likely that the interstellar ghost is still around here, so it is best to get out of here as much as possible for safety.
Zhang Qifan saw everyone's thoughts and shook his head directly. Just kidding, he's here to find clues to the Death Star, how can he run away at the slightest danger?
Leaving here, where would he go to find out about the location of the Death Star?
What's more, the interstellar ghost is not so terrifying, if it weren't for Ferrore's last description of 'enveloping the entire planet', Zhang Qifan would still be worried, but now with this description, he is relieved.
In his heyday, the soul could also envelop most of the planet, and if the planet was full of low-spirit creatures similar to humans, it would not be too difficult to kill hundreds of thousands of people with a wave of soul shock.
Judging by the description, the interstellar ghost is indeed strong, stronger than in his heyday, but definitely not to the point where he will run away from the wind.
Even if the interstellar ghost is nearby, doesn't he still have a small universe in his hand, the Eun doesn't want it, everyone hides in the small universe, will the interstellar ghost still stay nearby and wait for them to come out?
Kept it for a day, kept it for a year? A hundred years?
What's more, a week has passed, and maybe the interstellar ghost has long since left. Anyway, with Zhang Qifan's character, he will never be able to do this kind of behavior of running away without even seeing the shadow of the enemy.
After vetoing his suggestion, Zhang Qifan said: "Stay vigilant, maintain the highest strength of the shield, and keep the jumping criticality." "Although there will be no escape, the necessary preparations must be made.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qifan's eyes closed, his mind switched to the body of liquid steel, and he quickly passed through the airtight cabin and came to the cosmic space outside the cabin.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, Zhang Qifan felt a weak and chaotic force. In the solar system, if you are in an uncovered void, there is only one force acting on your body, and that is the gravitational pull of the sun.
If it is close to the Earth, then there will be two forces, which are the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Earth. If the position is close to the moon, the force will become three.
Of course, ordinary people don't have this feeling, they will only stay in the spaceship when they come and go to these places, and they don't have such a keen sense of perception as Zhang Qifan.
Now Zhang Qifan felt as if he was at the perilunar point, and a faint but chaotic force acted on his body.
The force was slight, not enough to affect him too much. Zhang Qifan looked up and saw that in the direction where the wreckage of the ship had extended, there were three very bright and huge stars, which were radiating a faint light.
Obviously, it wasn't the stars, but the three stars that make up the three-star system, but because they were so far away, the light reached this location was insignificant.
Zhang Qifan turned his head to observe the surroundings, and did not find any special situation in the vicinity for a long time, and then, he controlled the liquid steel body to step into the void and walked towards the scientific and technological civilization spaceship with a big hole.
This is a spaceship of carbon-based creatures of a second-level scientific and technological civilization, with a total length of more than 200 meters, and there are more than 200 crew members in the ship, but unfortunately all of them are dead.
There was not the slightest remnant of soul breath on all the crew members, and they were as clean and slippery as a bowl that had been licked by a dog. Only by devouring the soul can it disappear so cleanly.
Because everyone had been dead for a week, and no one was active for a long time, most of the equipment stopped or went into hibernation of its own accord, and only the air circulation system was still running.
Zhang Qifan came to the position of the bridge and activated most of the equipment on the bridge. The civilization and equipment used by this creature are somewhat different from those of human beings, but after all, they are both second-level scientific and technological civilizations, and after fiddling with it, Zhang Qifan also roughly understands the meaning of what is displayed on the meter.
While observing, Zhang Qifan reported the results: "There are still 54 percent of the energy reserves, and 90 percent of the fuel reserves, so the energy is very sufficient." There were traces of overload in the energy shroud, and four modules were damaged, all in one location. ”
"The location of the damage to the hull of the ship is inconsistent with the time of the death of the crew, it should be that after the death of the crew, they lost the protection of the energy shield and were knocked out by other ships."
"The smart machine qì is all intact, but all of them are initialized, it should be life-bound with the crew or captain, and it will be automatically initialized when the person dies."
One by one, the situation was reported back to the Ewen, and everyone on the bridge thought about it in unison. (To be continued......)
