Chapter 287: Intelligent Life
"Don't worry, it's safe here." Zhou Sen felt Olin's nervousness, and naturally took Olin's hand.
"Oh......"
After being held by Zhou Sen's palm, Orin felt an unprecedented sense of security.
The two of them entered the hole torn by the metal wall, and when they crossed the hole, they saw that the metal wall curled like paper, and they were both secretly frightened, what a great power!
To the surprise of the two, it was not just a torn hole, but countless torn holes, and from the location of the hole, it could be seen that there was some kind of very powerful creature that ran through the walls, and the walls were broken, tearing countless metal walls along the way.
What the hell is it?
Zhou Sen and Orin explored in the dark and oppressive space, relying entirely on a little light on the helmet of the spacesuit, and every time their eyes fell on the holes in the torn metal walls and the shriveled corpses around them, they felt an indescribable oppressive force, as if some kind of terrifying creature would jump out of the unfathomable hole at any time.
"Zhou Sen, what kind of beast could it be?" A terrified Orin asked.
"Not sure, it's very likely human, but not like it." Zhou Sen stopped in front of a cave entrance and took a closer look, he had already observed more than twenty cave entrances, this cave entrance was the only clue at present, he hoped to find clues on the cave entrance.
It was now established that the giant ship had encountered some powerful mystical creature that had led to the creation of a ghost ship, and all the clues were clear to the torn holes in the metal walls.
"Why don't you say it's human?" Orin didn't want to ask, but she was afraid of the ship's breath of death, and she hoped to ease that fear through chatting.
"Do you find that the height and width of the hole is just enough to pass through an adult, so that is, the size of the saboteur is very similar to a human, and the height and direction of the tear are also ergonomic, if you just analyze the data from the hole, it is 100% human...... However, on the wall of this cave, you see, there are marks on the metal wall, which are angular, and they do not look like human fingers, because human fingers are round and soft, and even if a human superpower has the power to tear through the iron wall, it will never leave such angular traces. ”
"That is, the saboteur is human-like, but not human...... Wait, you said there are edges and corners, could it be caused by machinery? Orin asked.
"That's where I'm thinking, but it's not reasonable, because if it's something like a miniature mecha or a robot, I wouldn't choose this barbaric way of destruction...... Let's assume that if it is an intelligent robot, in this case, the light brain will theoretically optimize the selection of cutting, after all, cutting consumes less energy than tearing. In fact, it is impossible for a mecha developed with the current level of human science and technology to tear such a thick metal wall with his bare hands when he is the same size as a human being. ”
"Neither human nor robotic, but about the same size as humans...... What kind of beast could that be? ”
"I can't find an answer for the time being, maybe there are human superpowers with deformed fingers, or maybe superpowers wear mechanical arms." Zhou Sen thought of the mechanical leg he had made for the old villain.
"Zhou Sen, I'm afraid, or ...... Let's go back. ”
"Let's go to the main control room and go."
"Why do you have to go to the main control room?"
"Usually, the main control room is where the soul of a ship is located, and if you go there, you can know how damaged the ship is."
"The question is, what do you do by looking at the level of damage?"
"In the five star domains, the length of civilian spaceships is getting smaller and smaller, a giant spaceship like this is a good thing, in the future, if the route between the five star fields and the energy star is opened, this spaceship can just be used as a port city on a commercial route...... Hehe, if the main control room is not damaged, the repair can be operated, and tens of thousands of people can live at once, and it is difficult to make a fortune. Zhou Sen said with a smile.
"You really want money and don't want your life, what if that terrifying unknown creature is still on this ship?" Orin smiled wryly.
"Rest assured, I've been observing, and I haven't found any signs of life in all the hallways, as well as the holes in the torn metal walls...... You see, because the time is too long, there is still some dust inside the spaceship, although it has been weightless, but because of the time, there will be a thin layer of dust on the floor and walls, and if there is life activity, it will definitely leave some traces, so the problem you are worried about will not happen at all. Zhou Sen said with a smile.
"You...... Why do you always look at things from a different angle than I do? Orin looked at Zhou Sen blankly.
"Because, with me in front of you, you don't need to think about this, once you don't have me, in this environment, you will think about these issues just like me." There was a hint of amazement in Zhou Sen's voice.
"Do you remember anything from the past?" Orin Bingxue was smart and immediately felt Zhou Sen's mood change.
"Yes, in the past, someone took care of me, at that time, I was carefree, I never thought about oil, salt, firewood, and rice, and I didn't worry about my life, because they would help me block everything...... Later, they died, and I ...... I...... It's like this...... "Thinking of his adoptive father and adoptive mother, Zhou Sen felt a little guilty, he found that in his memory, when he rarely cared about them, even before they died, he was still intoxicated in the laboratory and couldn't extricate himself.
"A lot of things are like this, and only after they are lost, they will know that they are precious." Orin thought so.
"Yes."
"By the way, this ship is so big, do you know where the main control room is?"
"Yes. You see, this spaceship originated from the ancient earth, following some of the construction rules of the ancient earth, there will be some fire diagrams behind the hatch, although these fire diagrams do not indicate the location of the main control room, but its structure is usually in the bow of the ship, so we only need to follow the main passage in the fire schematic diagram to find the main control room...... However, my guess is that as long as we follow these torn holes, there is a good chance that we will be able to find the main control room. ”
Really.
The two walked through the hole and soon found a wide main road, along which they found the main control room.
The main road was littered with human corpses, and no more torn holes were seen, and it was clear that the unidentified creature was also advancing along their current route.
There was a smell of death throughout the ship, and Orin was wearing a spacesuit, otherwise she would have wanted to vomit.
In fact, the number of corpses they saw was not as large as the casualties caused by a war on the energy planet, but the energy planet was on the open ground, and here, it was in a claustrophobic space, and because of weightlessness, many corpses were suspended in the air, layer upon layer, forming a strong visual impact.
Finally, the two found the main control room.
To Zhou Sen's surprise, the inside of the main control room was intact except for being covered with a thin layer of dust, and the only damage was that the door of the main control room was torn open with a hole, which was shocking.
"I see." Zhou Sen stared at the torn metal tunnel.
"The unidentified creature invaded the main control room, and then, took control of the ship."
"What! Take control of this ship?! Orin was shocked, because controlling this ship meant being a life beyond human intelligence, not a low-level beast or something.
"Yes, it was the control of the ship, and then, after the unknown creature controlled the ship through the main control room, it split the ship into a region."
"Why split into several zones?"
"I don't know the motive for the killing, but I can determine from the degree of corruption of the corpses just now, the purpose of dividing the spaceship into several areas is to kill people, and this kind of killing is very entertaining."
"Entertaining......" Orin was shocked.
"Yes, after the unknown creatures took control of the spaceship, they began to kill people in different areas, for example, cutting off the oxygen supply, or locking some hatches so that the humans inside would starve to death......"
