"Captain, this is not open terrain, and judging from previous surveillance information, there may be some kind of mutant on the medical deck that poses a greater threat to us than those white corpse variants."

Seeing Manuka stop, the adjutant in charge of information collection on the side reported through communication, especially what made him strange was that the monitoring authority of the medical deck seemed to be cut out of the ship's system, and with his authority, he could not access the security system here at all, which meant that it was difficult for the team to detect and react in time to those corpse mutants hiding in the shadows, and ammunition supply would also be a problem,

In the past, the pro-guard team had extremely high authority along the way, and could be replenished through the security system on each deck, whether it was weapons, ammunition or energy cores, they could be adapted to high-intensity combat, otherwise let alone pushed here from the bridge, they would have run out of ammunition and food on the way, and now the situation on the medical deck is obviously in the worst situation.

"Are you sure our permissions aren't available here?"

"Yes, Captain, it's not so much that it can't be used, but that someone has disconnected this area from the hull security through some technical means, making it an independent entity, from a network to a local area network, and only the designated permission holders can access it."

Manuka pondered for a moment, the situation that the adjutant said was indeed very bad, not to mention the problem of equipment supply, that is, the sneak attack of those corpse mutants who like to hide in the pipeline is a fatal danger, and when they came along the way, it was because of this sudden sneak attack that seven or eight technicians were quickly killed, and the attrition caused by the real frontal combat was actually very small, not to mention that before, it could be guarded against through the pressure sensor and detection probe in the pipeline, but now if it rushes inside, Not to mention the current 50 people, even 500 people are not enough.

"According to the content of the previous bridge command system, most of the initially infected crew members were sent from the mining unit to the medical deck for treatment and isolation, and my father also left the bridge because of the condition of the infected crew members, so the number of corpse variants here on the medical deck far exceeds that of other areas, second only to the mining unit, and now my father's body-of-the-road life support device is still operating, at least it can prove that he is still alive, I need to make a plan in advance for the retreat after rescuing my father, so as to avoid the front and back of the corpse variants."

He looked at the beacon that was still flashing on his wrist, and began to plan for the next action in his heart, in fact, there are many more backup means for McCas as a captain, among which the life support device implanted in his body is one, which is also the reason why Manuka insisted on bringing the team to the rescue, even Ralph did not find this back hand, which is also a big reason for the variables.

Manuka then deployed to the rest of his teammates, he personally led a ten-man combat team to rescue his father, while the rest of the people were stationed and defended in the cache cabin, as reinforcements to support the rescue team if necessary, and before he left with the team, he first asked the combat engineers to place sensors in all the air vents near the station, and in several areas with large air vents, several self-guided laser turrets were deployed.

This kind of automatic enemy weapon for shooting at alien creatures is very reliable, the extremely fast rate of fire and sufficient ammunition backup system make up for the lack of kinetic energy of laser weapon tearing, and the perfect friend or foe identification system and preview system, basically the corpse mutant is very close to the team, it can also carry out sufficient fire support and cover, this is also one of the few heavy fire weapons in the mining ship, after all, "Eden" is only a civilian mining ship, although it belongs to the Zeus-class ocean-going ship, but after all, it is not a ship involved in the main battle, So there are not many real war heavyweights, which is one of the reasons why Ralph chose this ship for proliferation.

After preparing everything, Manuka led the rescue team to move in the direction of the beacon, and all of this was seen by Ralph in the live broadcast situation, Ralph immediately clapped his hands, and then smiled and said to McCas, who was tied to the chair:

"Captain McCass, sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog, your son does have some abilities, if it was before, I might not have a way, they are really, very likely to take you away safely, but now they are a little pitiful."

"What do you want to do?!"

Although McCas trusted his son's strength very much, Ralph's sinister smile still frightened him, and he still couldn't figure out how Ralph replaced most of the security personnel in the medical deck security center with Unity Cultists, and when the "Eden" left Starport, McCasse screened the security personnel on the ship, except for a few Unity believers who had to be stuffed in order to reconcile the relationship between the Federation and religion, most of the others were people he was familiar with.

Not long ago, as soon as he entered the security center, the security guards took up arms and opened fire on the guards accompanying McCass, and four of his own guards were outnumbered and killed, and after eliminating fourteen security personnel, McCasse naturally became Ralph's prisoner.

But what McCas never imagined was that those so-called "mutiny" security personnel had long been corrupted by the spiritual pollution of the blood seal, and out of the fanatical worship of the blood seal, Ralph, as the third-level bishop of the church, naturally obtained the allegiance of these people, and the root cause of all this was the Federation's mining mission of the "Eden" in the Karl system, and the blood seal statue that was mined and brought to the ship was the source of all this chaos and death.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see how long these despicable humans can live under the great and noble power of the Holy Seal?"

Listening to Ralph's words of adoration and fanaticism, McCass felt his heart tremble, and his eyes were fixed on the image on the holographic screen..........

Under the leadership of Manuka, the group forcibly passed through the armed alloy gate that had blocked Li Mengyan and Du Jin's way out with the help of a laser cutting device. An opening was opened to accommodate one person, and upon entering the inside of the medical deck, the blood and roars that came from all directions, as well as the fragments of limbs on the ground, undoubtedly shocked the senses of the group.

"Damn, how many people have these corpse mutants killed, judging from the wreckage on this ground, there are at least hundreds!"

Rao is Manuka was used to seeing death when he helped suppress other colonies before, and he couldn't help but feel frightened and disgusted when he encountered this kind of scene, and the others were even more so, one of the people in the team couldn't stand such a miserable situation, opened the armored helmet and threw up against the wall, seeing the behavior of his own team member Manuka shouted fiercely:

"Mike, close the helmet immediately, here's .........."

Before the words were finished, a corpse near the teammate named Mike immediately jumped up and raised its sharp upper limbs to pounce on Mike, and the other team members did not hesitate to immediately raise and fire, and the speed of this monster was too fast, the orange and blue barrage just hit its limbs, it had already knocked down Mike, and then raised its upper limbs, which had been completely alienated into a long knife, and began to stab along Mike's body.

At the critical moment, Mike restarted the helmet to protect his face and head, and the heavy facial armor allowed him to pick up a life, if it was the set of maintenance armor that Du Jin was wearing, his head would have been split in half by now, but basically it did not pierce the facial armor, and the upper limbs of this corpse variant were also deeply pierced into the armor of the face, which caused one of its upper limbs to be stuck in the helmet and could not be pulled out for a while, but it did not find a way to pull out its upper limbs like humans.

The corpse mutant used the remaining upper limb to stab Mike's chest and abdomen wildly, but the other team members' concentrated fire was not a joke, and it was planned that the head and upper limbs of the corpse mutant would be all broken in the next second, and its body that pounced on Mike was also directly sent out by the powerful impact inertia of the magnetic energy bullet, after seeing the corpse mutant being sent out, Manuka signaled a ceasefire and asked the team to remain vigilant, and he slowly walked forward with three team members to prepare to pull Mike back.

"Captain, save me! I felt like I didn't feel sensation in my legs. ”

Mike's cry for help came, but Manuka didn't let his guard down easily, and he shot at the lower limbs of the corpse variant who fell to the ground again, and after cutting the corpse almost into a human stick, he was relieved to lead his team to confirm Mike's injuries.

"Captain! How am I? You're not going to die here, are you? I don't want to die at the hands of these monsters, I haven't married and left offspring, how can I die here! ”

Ignoring Mike's wailings, Manuka turned to look at the medic who was examining Mike, and the other party immediately reported to him:

"Captain, Mike's abdominal armor was pierced, and it is expected to injure the nerves and arteries in his legs, only the armor is broken in other positions, and there are no other fatal wounds!"

Manuka nodded, then comforted:

"You're alright! It's just that there are some wounds on your legs, I will take you down for treatment, you won't die, don't worry! When I rescue the captain and come back, I will take you to the colony below, and then I will give you a blind date!" ”

He then motioned for the medic to take the wounded to the trauma team for treatment, watching the wounded being taken away, Manuka got up and looked at the corpse variant on the side, it was not different from the corpse mutant encountered along the way, except that its upper limbs were completely alienated into a long knife-like shape, and the color was somewhat similar to metal, this change made him frown tightly.

"The upper limbs of those corpse mutants before were just some inverted blades, except for those few technicians wearing light armor, the other soldiers wearing heavy protective armor have not seen much damage, those monsters are at most piercing the surface armor, and it is impossible to penetrate, and now this corpse variant ......... Is it a special alienation? Or is it large-scale evolution? If they will continue to strengthen their alienation over time, then our armor will play a less and less protective role, and we need to investigate it clearly! ”

Looking at the "wreckage" of this corpse variant, Manuka fell into deep thought, and after a minute, a soldier who was added also came to the team, Manuka did not hesitate, turned around and led the team to move deeper, and what he didn't know was that shortly after he left, the broken parts of the limbs of this corpse mutant had begun to grow granular-like objects, although the growth rate was not very fast, but it was extremely scary to think about.
