Chapter 35: Isaac Slayer Killer Iron Man Clark Arrives
After receiving a distress signal from the Ishimura, C.E.C. dispatched the nearest small search and rescue ship, the U.S.G. Kerion, to the scene of the incident.
And because of his girlfriend Nicole, who dared to work on the Ishimura, Isaac Clarke, a systems engineer, also set off with the U.S.G. Kellyon.
After a period of hurrying, the group finally came to the vicinity of the Ishimura.
Kendra Daniels looked at Isaac with a heavy face and said, "Isaac, you can see Nicole in five minutes, you don't have to be so restless." ”
Isaac wasn't in a good mood: "No one would say no to the job on the Ishimura, but they only relied on video calls to get through the six months of separation...... It's really an ordeal.
And I haven't heard from Nicole in weeks, and I don't know what's going on aboard the Ishimura. ”
Daniels: "Well, you can't be blamed for that, after all, I do prefer to listen to my girlfriend than to listen to Hammond reciting the security protocols......"
Hearing himself mentioned in the conversation between the two, Hammond turned his head to look, "Be prepared, Ms. Daniels." ”
Daniels raised an eyebrow: "You always say that. ”
Isaac: "Alright, it's back on track. ”
Just seconds after Isaac said this, the U.S.G. Kelion managed to break out of the jump tunnel.
Looking at the planet in front of him, Isaac couldn't help but tease: "Imagine staring at that stone for six months in a row. ”
Hammond also turned to look at Isaac and said, "It's a paradise for independent miners.
Aegis VII is one of the most lucrative discoveries in C.E.C. history, and there are some mining teams that don't have to worry about it for the rest of their lives. ”
As he spoke, Hammond turned to look at Xinchuang again, intending to find the missing Ishimura: "Let me see where she is?" ”
Daniels raised his hand at this moment: "There, the U.S.G. Ishimura has come into view. ”
Look in the direction Daniels is pointing.
Hammond soon saw the figure of the Ishimura, and looking at the huge planetary cracker, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Look at her, how wonderful! The largest planetary splitter ship in the class, as you should know, looks like they've already started it. ”
Isaac was a little puzzled: "Why is it so dark?" We should be able to see her signal light! ”
Aiden Chen, one of the drivers, nodded: "Yes, we will be in the communication range soon, and someone must be waiting for us." ”
Hardmond advised, "Be vigilant as you approach, I don't want to risk the pride and accomplishments of C.E.C." ”
Hearing this, Daniels suddenly looked at Hammond with a bit of ridicule in his tone: "Adventure, ha, is this why you are looking at my personal file before we leave?" ”
Hammond was slightly surprised: "You also keep an eye out for document access logs. ”
Daniels: "Computer analyst, that's my job. ”
With that, Daniels sat down in a seat beside him.
Hammond walked around to the bridge and looked at Daniels, who had just sat down: "Ms. Daniels, I did a standard C.E.C. background check, if you want to have a bright future, you can cooperate." ”
At this moment, the conversation between the two was interrupted by a sudden cough from another driver, Haley Johnston.
"Sir, we're now in call range."
After reporting Hammond, Johnston directly opened the communication channel:
"U.S.G Ishinomura, this is the emergency maintenance team of the U.S.G Kellyon, we have received your distress signal, Ishinomura, please reply!"
After a while, without receiving a reply, Johnston turned on the communication again: "Ishimura, did you get it?" Excuse me, this is the U.S.G. Kellyon! ”
Perhaps sensing something was wrong, Daniels looked at Hammond and asked, "Have you ever heard that this thing's communication will be completely cut off?" ”
Hammond's face was also a little anxious at the moment: "Never, come to someone, come and answer the phone personally." ”
Suddenly, they heard a strange sound coming from the communicator.
Daniels frowned slightly: "What's that?" ”
Isaac looked at it and said, "Their communication array seems to be broken...... It could be caused by a broken encoder, and Daniels and I will take care of it within 48 hours. ”
Hearing this, Daniels couldn't help but look at Isaac and laughed, "Heh, then you can have time to talk to Nicole." ”
Isaac's face did not change: "Yes, I hope so. ”
Hammond also said to the two people who were sailing the boat at this moment, "Chen, Johnston, take us in." ”
With the operation of the two drivers, a gravitational circle of light like a faint blue flame began to appear outside the porthole.
Daniels, on the other hand, looked at the data that jumped on the screen and began to report: "The gravity cable is connected, and it starts to dock automatically." ”
As Daniels reported, the entire ship began to tremble.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the porthole on the left side.
Such a sudden situation immediately startled everyone.
Chen said with a nervous face: "I'm going to lose control!" ”
At this moment, the porthole on the right also exploded, and the entire spaceship began to shake violently, and in front of the porthole, arcs of electricity began to beat.
Daniels: "Rope failure, damn it, we're off course!" ”
Realizing that the situation was not good, Hammond hurriedly looked at Daniels: "Daniels! ”
Daniels was looking at the spaceship's data panel with a solemn face at the moment: "The navigation system control is not responding!" ”
Johnston also used one of the few expletives in English at this moment and scolded: "Damn, damn!" We're going so fast, we're going to hit the hull if we keep going like this! ”
Isaac also commanded urgently at this moment: "Aim for that emergency stabilization device, there, where there is blue light, it can slow us down!" ”
The two drivers immediately nodded: "Understood!" ”
Isaac: Drop your impact shield, guys, get ready! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the sound of impact, the entire spaceship slowly stopped on the deck of the Ishimura, and the power supply in the spaceship also failed at this moment.
The entire interior of the spaceship suddenly turned pitch black.
As the ship had completely stabilized, Hammond straightened up and looked around and asked, "Are you all right?" ”
Isaac: "I'm fine. ”
Chen: "I'm still alive, hey! Johnston, are you okay? ”
Johnston's face was in pain: "My ankle is broken!" ”
Everyone is slowly standing up at this moment!
Hammond checked Johnston's injuries and said, "Damn, but it's better than breaking your neck or something, thanks to you aiming at the stabilizer, Isaac." ”
Isaac was also glad at the moment: "I'm so glad I read the guide!" ”
Daniels was also angry at the moment: "What the hell happened to the goddamn spaceship control room, that navigation system is simply a death trap!" ”
Hammond also shook his head helplessly: "It's best to add it to your repair list as well." ”
After speaking, Hammond looked at Chen: "Chen, how is our damage?" ”
Chen also began to report the damage to the spaceship with an ugly face:
"The communication system collapsed, the broadside booster was finished, one stabilizer caught fire, and the singularity core was a mess...... That's probably the worst-case scenario. ”
After listening to the damage to the ship's hull, Hammond only felt that ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart at this moment.
Calming down the urge to scold his mother a little, Hammond said helplessly:
"Alright, we'll go get help on the Ishimura now, Johnston, you stay on the Kellyon, we'll call the medics, and the others will follow me."
With that, Hammond turned and walked towards the exit of the ship, followed by Daniels and Chen.
And Isaac slowly put on his overalls and helmet, and followed without hurry.
"Stand firm!"
As soon as he arrived outside the spaceship, Isaac saw the pilot, Chen, putting out the fire on the outside of the spaceship.
Chen: "Hell, we fell so badly! ”
Hammond: "That's not a good start for our maintenance mission. ”
At this moment, Daniels picked up a firearm on the ground, and a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Pulse rifle? ”
Hammond, on the other hand, didn't care about the anomaly at all, and walked straight to the interior of the ship: "Standard procedure, Ms. Daniels, we check in in the flight lounge. ”
Chen and Daniels also turned on the lights and followed.
Isaac followed suit.
Chen was puzzled: "Where have all the people gone?" The noise made during the landing was definitely audible to half of the ship's occupant. ”
Hammond: "Be happy, Chen, you've made it here safe and sound." ”
Chen smiled, "Johnston probably wouldn't think so, but if you can have a drink tonight, you'll have to treat you." ”
Daniels also joked at the right time to ease the tension: "I don't mind buying something to stabilize my mood, especially if the C.E.C. pays the bill." ”
Hammond: "Did you see anyone in the flight control room?" ”
Chen: "No, not a single one. ”
And with the continuous deepening and communication between several people, the tense atmosphere has also been relieved a lot.
Daniels: "At least we're still landed. ”
Soon, several people arrived at the security check area.
Hammond: "Let's check in!" ”
Inside, Daniels went to the panel next to the door and operated, while the rest of the group stood guard.
After observing for a while, Hammond looked at Isaac not far away: "Isaac, come and synchronize your RIG." ”
When Isaac heard this, he also went to the door that said "locked" and was scanned.
As a blue light scanned Isaac's body, the scanner on the door emitted a female electronic sound.
[Isaac Clark, welcome to the U.S.G. Ishinomura.] 】
"Locked" in front of the door now becomes "Later", and Isaac's back lights up at the same time.
[Synchronized RIG, Collecting Dynamic and Static Energy Modules, Source: Acting Chief Engineer Jacob Temple, Location ......
Error, no employee found! 】
Hammond: "I can't connect to the security system. ”
Isaac: "It's the same with the chief engineer, what's wrong with their communication system?" ”
During the conversation, the "later" on the door had changed to "whether to open or not", and Isaac naturally chose to open the door and walked in, and several other people immediately followed.
After looking around, several people noticed that the entire cabin was in a mess.
Chen: "It seems that someone left in a hurry. ”
Hammond: "Where's the security team?" What about people? ”
Daniels said as he checked his computer, "There are no records, no duty sheets, and no electricity in the elevators. ”
After hearing Daniels' report, Hammond's face became heavier: "It's really damning......
The security console is still running, Isaac, go get the damage report, I've had enough. ”
After receiving the order, Isaac walked towards the room where the security console was located, opened the hatch, and looked at the floor and the condition of the room, he couldn't help but frown:
"What's on the floor here?"
"That's?"
"Isaac, I need a damage report!" Hammond's voice came from a distance at this moment.
Arriving at the security console, Isaac began to operate, but a sudden wave of questions from above almost sent him away:
"Oh my God, that smells ......"
Hammond: "What's the discovery?" Isaac. ”
As the data on the security console continued to be displayed, Isaac's face became more and more ugly:
"Damn! It wasn't just the communication and navigation systems that went wrong, half of the Ishimura was damaged, and the engines, hull, and tram ......."
"What could destroy a planetary cleavage like this?" Chen asked, looking at Isaac through the glass window outside the security control room.
Suddenly, the surroundings began to vibrate, and light sources began to light up one after the other.
Daniels' voice appeared on the communicator of the crowd: "Okay, I'm plugged in, the ventilation system is on, and the next step is to start the elevator ......"
"Boom!"
Before Daniels could finish speaking, there was a loud noise from the hull of the ship, and all the lights around it went out.
The ship's systems also began to sound alarms.
[Dangerous anomaly detected and quarantine initiated]
Hammond became more and more uneasy: "Is there another glitch?" ”
However, Isaac was quick to answer his question: "No, everything is fine with the quarantine system. ”
Along with the sound of sirens and the flashing of yellow warning lights, some strange sounds also reached their ears.
Daniels said a little scared, "Wait, did you hear that?" ”
Hammond: "Yes! ”
Chen's tone at the moment was also a little flustered: "Yes, yes, yes, I heard it!" ”
Daniels' heart was weak, and he looked at the chief security officer opposite him: "Hammond! ”
Looking at Daniels, who was getting more and more nervous, Hammond comforted, "Take it easy, Daniels, and get those elevators running." ”
But it was clear that Hammond's comfort did not reassure Daniels, and the woman's sixth sense told her that it was dangerous.
Daniels: "Something must be in our neighborhood. ”
Just as Daniels finished speaking, a ventilation duct on Chen's upper left suddenly burst open.
"There it is!"
Nervous, Chen hurriedly raised his gun and shot at the broken vent.
Suddenly, a series of fiery snakes erupted from the muzzle of the gun.
At this moment, a corpse mutant quietly swung its blade and swooped towards Chen's back.
Just as the blade of the corpse transformation was about to pierce Chen's body, piercing him.
"Boom!"
There was another loud bang, and the ceiling above suddenly collapsed, smashing the corpse mutant who was about to succeed in the raid into a meatloaf.
For a while, screams rang out, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
Hammond and Chan hurriedly fired their guns at the collapsed ceiling.
For a while, the gunfire was loud, and the sound of bullets hitting metal also rang out.
It wasn't until a shuttle of bullets was fired that the two stopped.
Hammond looked nervous: "Oh my God, what the hell was that!" Chen, are you alright? ”
Panting and calming down, Chen replied, "Yes, I'm fine." ”
"Two gentlemen, are you cool to shoot? Don't shoot a few more shots at me, let off steam! ”
The sudden electronic synthesis sound that came into the ears of several people made everyone's nerves tense again.
Hammond and Chen raised their guns again and aimed in the direction from which the sound came, even though there were no bullets in the guns at the moment.
And as the smoke and dust cleared, a figure nearly three meters tall slowly appeared in front of them.
Ignoring the sweat oozing from his forehead, Hammond looked at the figure and asked, "Who are you?!" ”
Looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, Chen Yuxuan was not angry, but looked at Hammond calmly and said:
"Mr. Hammond, you don't have to be so nervous, I'm a general medic on the Ishimura, and I just saved your companion's life, didn't I?"
"General medical officer?"
Hammond suddenly had a black question mark on his face, what ordinary medical officer can penetrate the ceiling of the Ishimura made of special alloys, and can resist bullets and fire.
Just as Hammond was about to continue asking, there was another strange noise around him, drawing everyone's attention.
Looking at the nervous few people, Chen Yuxuan looked up at the ventilation duct:
"Mr. Hammond, it seems that there are some things that I have to talk about later, and I need to clean the house before I can have a good chat with the guests."
"What?" Hammond looked confused, he didn't understand what the armored man on the other side who claimed to be a medic medicate meant.
However, soon, the imminent battle scene in front of him made him understand the meaning of Chen Yuxuan's words in an instant.
Several hideous-looking corpse mutants jumped out from all directions, and rushed towards several people, about to chop them into pieces.
In that instant, without waiting for a few corpse mutants to make more moves.
Chen Yuxuan manipulated the armor and moved, and the alloy knife in his hand slashed out like lightning with lightning speed.
In just two seconds, Chen Yuxuan successfully circled the room and returned to where he had been standing.
And several corpse mutants also ignited high-temperature flames at this moment, and they fell to the ground one by one and struggled, and slowly turned into char in a roar.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and Isaac and the others stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of them.
It wasn't until a moment later, when the heat of the flames was scorching the sweat, that they came back to their senses.
Hammond swallowed, looked at the armored man in front of him again, and asked, "Who are you?" What about those monsters just now? ”
Putting away the Alloy Flame Knife, Chen Yuxuan spoke: "I said that I am just an ordinary medical officer on the Ishimura, as for what happened on the Ishimura......
It's a long story, this is not a place to talk, you come with me, I'll take you to meet a few people, and then we'll have a good talk. ”
With that, Chen Yuxuan ignored a few people and walked towards the outside of the flight lounge alone.
And after seeing the corpse mutant that was still burning with flames on the ground, several people looked at each other and followed behind Chen Yuxuan.
However, just as the group was about to walk out of the control room, Isaac's voice, which was visibly speechless, came from the communicator.
"I said, you guys are leaving, but let me out of here first!"
Chen Yuxuan: "......"
Daniels: "......"
Hammond: "......"
Chen: "......"
"Ahem!" Hammond coughed twice, easing the embarrassment.
"Sorry, I was so nervous and forgot about you, Daniels! Let Isaac out! ”
Daniels also replied with a little embarrassment: "Okay, I'll release Isaac now." ”
Chen Yuxuan also felt funny watching from the sidelines.
Who would have thought that this Uncle Ai, who slaughtered the entire Ishimura, is famous, and the people of the rivers and lakes say: Isaac, Slayer, Divine Seal Killer, Iron Man, and Clark.
At this moment, he actually fell into the embarrassing situation of being locked in the room by his teammates and accidentally forgotten.
