Chapter 1467 Opening the Warehouse
People are very sensitive to the rotten smell of corpses, which is completely different from the smell of rotten food or feces and farts.
In the primitive period, this ability allowed people to avoid danger. The fear gene existing in the DNA was instantly awakened by the smell.
But Alyssa and the others are now wearing heavy-duty protective suits, which are fully fitted around the neck, and they all wear helmets. It stands to reason that even if they fart in the protective suits, they cannot smell it, let alone Smell the rancid smell outside.
But everyone definitely smelled it, or felt like they smelled it.
This is the smell of death. Its presence is so powerful that it cannot be perceived through simple sensory organs. It is like directly ravaging the nerves of mortals. It doesn't matter whether you can smell it or not, and it doesn't even matter whether you have a nose or not.
Alyssa motioned for everyone to turn on the lights on the masks, and also checked the airtightness of the protective clothing. There was nothing wrong with it.
What you see next is likely to be something that cannot be explained by common sense, and Alyssa has already made psychological expectations.
"Let's move forward and prepare our weapons. This place is different from before."
The soldiers swallowed their saliva, set up their guns one after another, and cooperated with their teammates to aim at every corner.
Entering the airlock door, the first thing that comes into view is a large number of containers fixed to the ground with steel cables.
After all, it is a cargo ship, so it is natural to have a large number of containers.
But the stacking of these containers is not neat, but scattered, some high and some low. The channels flowing out between the containers are not straight. It feels like walking into a container building. Out of the maze.
Of course, normal cargo ships would not be stacked like this. It is inconvenient to unload and inspect by yourself.
If the fastening hooks of these containers were not still intact, Alyssa even began to wonder if there was some kind of huge monster building a nest in the containers.
The cargo warehouse is the widest and largest part of the transport ship. The containers are stacked so high that sometimes you have to look up hard to see the top.
The lighting in the cargo hold also seems a little bad. This may be because the cargo hold is a disposable structure and there is a problem with the energy pipeline connection inside the hull. It may also be because the reactor has not yet reached the required level. Normal working condition.
The lights come on and off, flickering on and off. We mainly rely on the built-in lights on our chests and heads to see.
This also caused the light to shine on the container, drawing long and thin shadows.
The strong rancid smell has disappeared, or it can't be smelled due to the barrier of protective clothing, but everyone's heart feels like there is a stone pressing on it.
Since there is no artificial gravity, everyone can only float forward. The surroundings are quiet. The only sounds that can be heard are the subtle mosquito sounds coming from the earphones and the negative energy warning issued by the detector Alyssa carries. .
They carefully followed the gap between the containers for about ten minutes. At this time, Viola saw a blue glimmer not far ahead.
This light is so weak that it can only be caught by the naked eye when the lights in the warehouse are turned off and the surroundings are dark.
Continuing to move forward, Lieutenant Cao Wei, who was opening the way in front, said in a trembling voice:
"Humanoid target found!"
Everyone's nerves were immediately aroused. Cao Wei pointed the gun in a certain direction and looked at it for a while:
"It didn't respond."
"Try shouting first, but it doesn't work. Just fire a shot and try.”
The scanner showed that there was no life response on the ship, and what Cao Wei saw might be a corpse.
So Cao Wei followed Alyssa's instructions, turned on the external speaker, shouted a few words, and when there was no response, she aimed diagonally upward and pulled the trigger.
The short laser swept over, and after waiting for a moment, Cao Wei said:
"That should be a corpse." "Don't be careless, the negative energy here exceeds the limit, even a corpse may be resurrected."< br>
The conditions for the formation of undead creatures are very simple: sufficient negative energy, no periodic exposure to sunlight, and corpses.
Undead creatures can appear if three conditions are met, and the cabin is obviously suitable.
The team continued to move forward, and Alyssa, who was in the center of the team, saw what the humanoid target Cao Wei was talking about.
It was a man wearing a red tattered robe. He was sitting on the top of three containers, with his head lowered and facing everyone who came in.
There are still a few smoking holes on the tattered red robe, which should have been made by the laser gun just now.
“Aren’t these people from the Glow Ion Monastery?”
Alyssa didn’t know them before. She had only heard of this name from Li Chengqi, but since the deep dive After the devil, the memory of this group of people is too profound.
Alyssa took out the handheld scanner and scanned the body diagonally above.
Sure enough, this is already a corpse, and his mechanized transformation rate has long exceeded 60%. This is the standard operation of the Glow Ion Monastery. Most of them can no longer be regarded as human beings. .
After working for a long time, this ship belongs to the Glow Ion Monastery?
But didn’t it say that the recipient of the goods was Molybdenum Group?
Is there any connection between these two organizations?
If so, what exactly are they transporting?
A series of question marks popped up in Alyssa’s mind.
Unfortunately, they did not bring a cutting machine or a password, so they could not open these containers for the time being.
And Alyssa had a strong hunch that moving forward was more important than opening these containers.
Everyone continued to move in the direction where the light blue light was found, being careful and trying not to make any noise.
As the distance got closer, everyone saw more and more corpses appearing in the container, even overhead or in front of them, floating aimlessly in a microgravity environment.
Due to the shutdown of the reactor, although there is still thin air left in the cabin, the temperature is extremely low. These corpses have been frozen hard, but this also prevents them from decaying and still maintains the appearance before death. look.
Almost all the corpses were covered in red robes, and the mechanization rate exceeded 60%. Alyssa also found holy symbols on the necks of these people, which was completely consistent with the Glow Ion Monastery.
The cause of their death is even more puzzling.
These people actually turned off their own life support systems and committed suicide.
To put it simply, their hearts were transformed into machines, and they could stop their hearts by their own will.
This method of death is almost painless and does not leave any trauma. They will lose consciousness in a short period of time and eventually sleep completely forever.
Why did you choose to commit suicide?
Why are all these people gathering in the warehouse?
What happened to them?
There was a voice in Alyssa's heart that seemed to say, you shouldn't explore these things, go back quickly.
But her reason said, I need to figure this all out!
In the end, reason defeated instinct, and Alyssa motioned for everyone to move on.
As more and more corpses appeared around, and the blue light they saw before became closer and closer, Alyssa felt that she should be close to finding the answer.
