Chapter Eighty-Three: I'm Coming to You
"Whew", six square metal plates with a side of one meter long slid against the ground.
If you look closely, the metal plate is not attached to the deck, there is still a few centimeters between it and the deck, there is no support under the board, and there is no driving device like a roller track, so it just levitates out of thin air and glides over, and stops steadily in front of the shadow chasers.
"Please get in the car. The voice of the old man made an invitation.
Although this thing does not bear any resemblance to the car in everyone's impression, people like to call it that, and Shul has no position against it, he is against another thing: "Eight bucks, thank you, Mia, Miriday, you two come out." ”
Indeed, since you have already arrived on someone's spaceship, there is no point in hiding yourself anymore, it is better to be generous and come out by yourself, which can be regarded as showing your sincerity. After a cold snort, two mages appeared on either side of the team at the same time, and the mountain elves shook their hair, looking up and down the new space.
"It's no wonder that the concentrations of water and wind are so thin, they are activated when they are needed, and they do not exist for a long time. Mia obviously didn't forget her previous discovery, and said with a straight face, "If it weren't for the amount of soil, it is estimated that the concentration of the earth element would be just as low, the question is, why is the concentration of the fire element so high?"
"Who knows, maybe it's a thruster. Shul remembered the jet port under Yulia's floating ship, "It seems that most of the power plants are in the form of flamethrows, and it is not surprising that the concentration of fire elements is high. ”
"No, you don't understand, high is too exaggerated. Mia shook her head, and did not continue to discuss academic issues with the layman, Shure.
"I'm interested in what they just said about awakening the body. Miridy narrowed her glamorous eyes, "If what I saw before was not the real body of the people of this world, it would explain why I couldn't find their souls, heh, of course a humanoid shell can't have a soul." ”
"Guests, I know you have a lot of questions, please rest assured, I will answer them one by one after we meet. With the old man's promise, two more gravity-defying skateboards slid over and stopped in front of everyone not far away, and the shadowchasers looked at each other and cautiously stepped on this rather novel vehicle.
"Hmm", after everyone was on their feet, the skate restarted, and it was actually moving fast, almost catching up with Moria's running speed, and it could rush out of a distance of twenty or thirty meters in a second. However, although the speed is so fast, it is quite smooth, no, not only stable, it is reasonable to increase to this speed in a few seconds, inertia will inevitably make the passengers on the glide board stand unsteadily, but in fact, the shadow chasers hardly feel the existence of inertia, everyone seems to have merged with the skateboard, and move with the skateboard.
This is not the result of everyone's forced adjustment with far more agility than ordinary people, the shadow chasers have no deliberate action at all, the only explanation is that this is the role of the skateboard itself, it seems that the technological level of this world is also quite special.
Without anyone to control it, the glide board automatically drove along the wide and narrow corridors inside the spaceship, and the rapid speed made the scenery on both sides flash, but everyone could still tell that in the ten minutes of the journey, all that caught the eye was monotonous metal, similar cabins, boring facilities, and alien mechanical bodies that could not make any difference. Living in such an environment, it's okay for a few months and a year, but if it's too long, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable, and it's no wonder that Wei said that the previous colonial base would use the holographic display of the ecological dome, it seems that the impact of the environment is still huge for human beings.
"Hahahaha, fragile guy. The dwarf held his beard and laughed, "Our great dwarves have been living in underground cities, and this environment is just ...... for us."
"Bang", the dwarf who killed himself was successfully kicked off the skateboard by Shuer, the skateboard lost pressure, stopped homeopathically, and told him that he fell in the middle of the ride and did not cause any harm to Mobuck, but the fall was a little painful, and the poor dwarf secretly complained and re-stepped on the skateboard to catch up, deliberately widening the distance between him and Shuer.
"It's just a uniform living quarter, and when the ship was first designed, it was expected that most of the passengers on board would live here. The old man took the initiative to explain, "It's a bit crowded and depressing, but after closing the door, the private space is quite spacious, and the impact is relatively small, and the real activity area is in other places, and there is very little time to stay here every day, so there will not be much psychological problems." ”
"There's no breath of life in it. Responding to Shure's questioning eyes, Milit shook her head and whispered, "And there is no remnant of the breath of life, which means that it has not been inhabited for many, many years. ”
Xiuer nodded without a trace, the awakening of the body mentioned by the old man just now probably has explained everything, according to Wei's speculation, the passengers on this ship should be in a very delicate state.
After driving for a while, the passage began to become more and more wide, and finally this one could accommodate at least forty or fifty metal plates side by side, and the old man said that this was the main road inside the spaceship, which belonged to the high-speed road, and could connect to all areas of the spaceship.
At this time, the scenery on the side of the road gradually changed, no longer a small cabin, the entrance to the cabin here is relatively large, and some of them have similar windows, you can guess without the introduction of the elderly, the design should belong to the existence of commercial streets, plus some signs symbolizing entertainment facilities outside the cabin, this area should be a leisure area for passengers to relieve mental pressure.
Along the way, everyone obviously felt that this place could be called a city built in a spaceship, although the space was relatively crowded, but the facilities were quite complete, industrial area, entertainment area, manufacturing area, scientific research area, there were seven or eight blocks mentioned by the old man, and there were many areas that had not been mentioned so that they had not been mentioned, and the spaceship contained almost all the necessary space for life that the shadow chasers could think of, which was no longer a traveling spaceship, more like moving his home to the spaceship, preparing to live here for a long time.
"Actually, it's about living for the long term. In the old man's voice, a fleeting melancholy could be heard, but he immediately concealed it, "Here we are, this is the destination." ”
"Oh?" the shadowchasers looked at the wall in front of them with a huge gate, the wall was very long, and there were no other entrances and exits in sight, only this large and surprisingly large gate, and Shure looked up at the gate and asked, "What is this district?"
"It's not a district, it didn't exist at the beginning of the ship's construction, and it was built later, so there's no need for a name, if we have to give it a name, we're used to calling it a cemetery. ”
"Tsk. The corners of Shure's mouth twitched, "I hope this title has other meanings in your world." ”
"I think it should be the same, since the languages that are not the same can understand each other, then the meaning of the salutation should be the same. The old man sighed, "Just as you think, all the passengers on the ship are sleeping here. ”
The huge metal door slowly retracted to both sides, and the dark interior space, the lights lit up one by one, illuminating the metal passage behind the door, the cold light, the pale metal, made everyone feel a chill for no reason, and their hearts were heavy, as if they had pressed something.
The speed of the skateboard had slowed down, and the eight people slid through the icy passage, and Delia had completely calmed down by this time, and did not speak, but looked around curiously.
The doors of the cabins on both sides were closed, and it was impossible to see the inside at all, but it was Miridy who sighed softly and raised her voice slightly, "I don't think there will be such a large number of living people in the cemetery. Although their vitality is somewhat weak, there is no doubt that the people inside are still alive. ”
"The cemetery is just a synonym, they just sleep here. The old man said with a wry smile, "There is no real cemetery on the spaceship, and the body of the deceased will be sent into the depths of the universe after saying goodbye, and will not remain on the spaceship." Here it is, Delia, room K82. Child, one last chance, you ......"
"I'm not looking back. The girl jumped off the skateboard that had come to a stop and stood at the door of room K82 first, "Dad, open the door, and tell me what to do." ”
Without saying a word, the hatch opened, and although it was bright inside, a real cold air came to the face, and even the shadow chasers couldn't help frowning.
In the light, you can see that in front of you is a three-dimensional matrix composed of thousands of transparent long boxes shaped like coffins, and in each box, you can vaguely see someone lying inside.
On the ground near the doorway, there was a transparent box that looked similar, and if you looked closely, the box could accommodate an adult lying in it.
"When you're ready, lie down, kid. The old man finally gave up the persuasion, and said with a little sadness, "I hope you don't blame us when you regret it in the future." ”
"Mom, Dad, I'm coming for you. The girl took a deep breath, turned around and bit her lip and said, "Uncle, I ......"
"Don't behave like a farewell. From Liwei's introduction in the ear clip, Shuer already knew what was going to happen, rolled his eyes and said, "We will meet again in ten minutes at most, don't you think it will seem stupid to cry and talk a bunch of nonsense at this time?"
"Huh, that's that easy?" the girl scratched her head, lay down in the box, and smiled at Shul before closing the transparent lid, "Well, I'll see you later, uncle." ”
"Well, I'll see you later. Shuer put his hands behind his back, looked at Delia in the box and quickly closed her eyes and lost consciousness, before she whispered, "You can see you again, but I hope that you will see you later, and remember you now." ”
"Caracalla", the matrix in front of it began to rotate rapidly, and each transparent box kept changing positions until one of the boxes was separated from the matrix and sent to Delia's side.
