Chapter 39: Despair and Hope
In the imaginary space, two great consciousnesses are observing the eternal courtyard from top to bottom.
"Chi, it seems that the children's attack is difficult to make progress."
Kamiaka glanced at his companion beside him.
"Mi, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to send an avatar down, and there seems to be a group of interesting little ones in that courtyard." ”
"Really? Then you can go, and I'll send Lie to deal with the battleship that just flew out, and then I'll continue to sit here. ”
"Okay."
Before leaving, the gods remembered something.
"Anyway, what's going on with the battleship floating in space on this planet?"
"That antique, you say?" Shen Mingchi recalled for a moment and said, "I have already sent someone to deal with it. ”
"That's what it's used for, in that small world that is used as a transit station, those spirit fragments that are collected, and those servants who are spelled out."
……………
Earth's middle space. A space battleship hovered silently in the icy cosmic space, although its appearance was no different from before, but inside, it had changed greatly.
Tick, tick, tick.
A man huddled in a corner with a frightened face.
From the tip of his brow, drop after drop of cold sweat slipped down the cold sweat, and the trembling body showed his heart of extreme fear.
He covered his mouth desperately, for fear that he would make a sound.
But now, in such a quiet moment, the sound of cold sweat sliding from him and hitting the metal floor was so obvious.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound.
It seems to be the sound of a large number of arthropods rubbing against each other, making the man tremble to the next level.
His eyes widened, and his palms covered his mouth with so much force that his knuckles turned white.
His breathing had subconsciously stopped, and he was afraid that the sound of his breathing would draw them over.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
A whimper of fear came out of his mouth, and in his perception, the sound grew closer and closer, reaching a peak and then slowly becoming smaller.
Sensing this, the man's eyes showed a sense of hope.
After the sound disappeared completely, it took him a long time to slowly let go of his hand, put his ear to the ground and listened carefully for a long time, after confirming that the sound really disappeared.
The man finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he leaned against the wall as if he had collapsed, his face full of joy for the rest of his life.
"Hah...... Ha ha...... I survived, I survived! ”
He gasped for breath and looked around casually.
Then he saw a large red spot of light beside him, like someone was playing a laser pointer in the dark, but not as glaring.
But now the man doesn't want to think about laser pointers, and when he sees these red dots of light, he already understands his end.
"Nope! No!! No!!! ”
Although he knew it in his heart, he didn't want to die.
He ran desperately to the door, and the moment he moved, the point of light behind him also moved.
The man looked at the door, which was less than two meters away from him, and he felt that the hope of life surrounded him again.
But the moment he touched the doorknob, there was a large mass of monsters hidden in the darkness behind him, and one of them jumped up and jumped on his calf, then bit down and injected venom.
"Ah!!!h
The pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow instantly flooded his brain, but the strong desire to survive briefly overcame the pain.
He twisted the doorknob to open it, and came to the bone-strewn hallway.
The bones of many humans were scattered in the hallway, and there were very dense bite marks on them.
The man didn't care about that, and now he pointed and ran.
But before he had run two steps, he felt that his entire right leg was numb and weak, and he could not exert any strength at all.
"No ......"
With the loss of strength in his legs, he could no longer run, and he looked back behind him in despair.
Under the light of the hallway lamp, one after another insects, which resembled cockroaches in size and appearance, rushed out of the room.
Under the man's desperate gaze, the bugs instantly overwhelmed him.
However, in just a few tens of seconds, there was another pair of white bones in the corridor of this provenance.
In another hallway, a massacre continues.
"Don't come here, don't come here!"
Poof.
Half of a man's body flew into the air.
Blood spilled all over the corridor, and the dim light illuminated the frightened and desperate faces of the survivors.
In front of them, a humanoid monster covered in yellow bone armor was there.
After fully appreciating the man's last despair before he died, the monster set her sights on the survivors.
"The despair of human beings when they die, I have admired it so many times, and I still like it so much."
Scarlet eyes swept over the rest, and a cruel smile appeared on the monster's face.
And then she walked step by step, towards the people.
Behind her, in addition to the corpses of humans, there are also the remains of various tactical puppets.
Traces in the corridors prove that they had put up a fierce resistance, but unfortunately failed.
Inside the battleship Gnaku, the head of Gnaku stood on a platform, anxiously waiting for a response from the control room.
As long as the control room is still there, then they still have hope of reinforcements arriving.
The person in charge anxiously looked at the screen in front of him, which read, "Communication has been initiated, waiting for a response." ”
He clenched his fists and waited for a response, not only him, but also the other staff members near the platform waiting anxiously.
This is their hope.
One second was like a year, and while everyone was anxiously waiting, the communication in the control room was connected!
When he saw the request passed, the person in charge was so excited that he was about to cry.
The screen lit up, and what appeared in front of him was not an old and steady captain, but a young woman with a beautiful face and a naked body.
But that's not the point, the point is that the woman is sitting on a corpse while she has the head of the old captain in her hands!
“…… You...... You! ”
The person in charge's teeth chattered, and the moment he saw this scene, he already understood a lot of things.
"Oh yes."
The woman turned her head to look at the screen, holding the old captain's head in her right hand and a blue wine gourd in her left hand.
"At first, I wondered where the communication was coming from, but I didn't expect it to be Gnaku."
She stood up from the corpse of the old captain and put her face on the railroad screen.
Looking at the beautiful face that seemed to be close at hand, there was no excitement in the heart of the person in charge.
On the contrary, despair was already spreading in his heart.
"Uh-huh. By sitting here, I've dealt with all the survivors of the staff quarters and cafeteria, and you guys who stay in Gnaku should be the last of them. ”
"Hehehe. Don't worry, I'll be to you soon, and I'll be relieved soon, so wait quietly. ”
With that, the woman hung up the communication.
The screen went black, and the person in charge slowly collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
Everyone nearby who was watching him saw his reaction, and those who were close enough could hear some voices coming from the screen.
After a while, everyone learned that the control room had been breached and the old captain had died.
Despair begins to spread, and everyone knows that the monster that killed the old captain will soon come here and kill them.
Everyone here doesn't want to die, but the monsters won't let them go.
The crowd is stirring, don't expect people in despair to be sane.
The person in charge heard the words coming into his ears around him, and he patted his face, allowing his limbs to be empowered again.
He knew he had to do something, and the desperate thinking hadn't completely overwhelmed everyone.
His eyes swept around, and he was looking for a token that would convince everyone.
He then saw the containment station in the center of Gnaku.
He knew what it was, it was the containment station used to contain the Third Agency of the Eastern Family.
Looking at the containment station, he remembered what the old captain had taught him.
In addition to storing a large number of automatic maintenance equipment, a maintenance team of about 10 people is usually arranged for a long-term space station like this.
Now the space station is on standby, wanting to wake it up and trend it requires permission while in his hands......
The person in charge reached for his waist, where there was a black token.
He held the token and looked at it as if holding hope.
