Interstellar: Conquering Crazy Commanders with Food

Chapter 151 The Infected

The interior of the ocean-going ship was not damaged, but some aluminum layers were scraped off the exterior. The alarm in the cabin was turned off by Cassius, and the noisy sound finally calmed down.

Claire leaned on the window and looked out carefully, "That's strange, it seems to have completely lost control, is there any living person in the cabin?"

Cassius put on his mask and said, "I'll stop the cargo ship."

He unplugged the plug that Jones was charging, and Jones immediately opened his eyes and greeted him mechanically, "Commander Cassius."

"Protect Claire." He ordered him.

Claire followed him all the way to the cabin door, and said anxiously: "We don't know what happened on that ship, it's dangerous for you to go in rashly."

"I want to make sure there are no survivors up there." Cassius pushed her in, and then went to get a spare gun, "Go and send the coordinates to Feiji, and ask him to call the rescue team from the nearest space station."

She wants to go with him, but if there is a real danger up there, she must be dragging her down.

Claire pursed her lips hard, "I can control the ship by myself. You take Jones away. This is my last concession. You must respect my opinion."

Cassius took a deep look at her, "Okay."

"Jones connects your eyes to the ship, and I also want to know what's going on inside." Claire turned her head to look at Jones again. For the first time, she felt that the journey of two people plus a robot was often full of uncertainty and danger. Cassius should have brought more people around, even though it would have spoiled the fun of their honeymoon.

It's too late to think about anything now.

The hatch opened, and Cassius jumped onto the deck of the huge cargo ship with Jones. His figure quickly disappeared behind the extremely high steel plates.

Claire closed the door and quickly returned to her seat to sit down. She took a deep breath and moved her already rusty fingers.

She pushed the thrusters first, pulling the close-fitting impact sites apart.

The entire ocean-going ship made a dull sound. After the impact, there were many parts floating in the front of the cargo ship, and its damage was relatively serious.

Claire contacted Fei Ji with his optical brain and asked him to send someone to the nearest space station for support.

Jones' eyes were also connected to the cabin, and Claire sat in the chair nervously watching the picture inside.

The two entered the interior from the deck, and the power supply system inside the cargo ship was completely broken.

Cassius entered the cockpit, a total of three pilots died on the console, and a bloody hand was still holding on to the handle of the pusher. This is also the reason why the cargo ship was rampaging all the way in the interstellar space.

Looking at it from Jones' perspective, the corpses of these orcs were separated, with a lot of scratches on their bodies, their flesh rolled up, and their bright red organs and blood were torn to the ground.

Claire rolled her Adam's apple and swallowed the urge to vomit. She whispered, "It looks like it was torn apart by some kind of beast. Did any orcs go crazy and transform on the cargo ship?"

Her words reached Jones' ears, and he looked closely at the corpse and said: "The orcs who deliver the goods all have health certificates. The Empire has strict screening on this aspect. It doesn't seem like they will do it."

Cassius pushed the corpse to stop the cargo ship and activated the backup lighting system in the cargo compartment.

The light tubes inlaid on the walls from the cockpit finally turned on, and his fingertips operated on the blood-stained panel, calling up the scanned image of the entire cargo ship.

"There are living people on the second floor." Jones pointed to the red dot that lit up on the screen.

When they went down to the passage, the lighting on the wall was partially broken, and some sections of the road were still dark, but Claire could also see the blood dragged all over the ground and the orc corpse in uniform leaning against the corner.

Cassius loaded his pistol, and Jones held his weapon in both hands.

In the shadows directly in front of them, a man was prostrate, his head buried in a gurgling, bleeding body.

The voice was connected, and Claire's cabin heard the creepy sound of the man tearing at the flesh.

As if he heard the movement behind him, the man turned his head slowly, his mouth with fangs growled roared, he got up on all fours and rushed towards Cassius, the pair of yellow double pupils were very conspicuous on that hideous face.

Claire, who saw the four eyes clearly, lost her voice: "It's the Zerg!"

Cassius's reaction was very quick. He instantly burst out his mental power to stop the opponent from advancing, and at the same time drew his gun and pulled the trigger. The sound of gunshots echoed in the passage, and the man fell down and convulsed.

Claire was so startled that cold sweat broke out on her back. Looking at the fallen body at most two meters away from Cassius, she took a deep breath and went to contact Feiji again with shaking hands.

"We found something wrong with the Zerg on the cargo ship." Claire glanced at the corpse again, "It should be an infected person, without obvious characteristics of wings and antennae. You remind the people coming from the space station to take precautions."

"Zerg?" Feiji's voice became serious, "Is the commander okay?"

"Well, I think he's fine. He's in the cargo ship right now. I'm worried." Claire kept her eyes on the screen, took a deep breath and said, "Come here as soon as possible."

Cassius jumped over the dead body, and quickly came to the man who was about to die.

"Which star did the cargo ship come from?" He lifted the opponent's neck to prevent the backflow of blood from suffocating, trying to get some useful words.

"Meng, Munger Star." The man barely announced the name of the place, and the man died within a few seconds.

Cassius immediately got up, turned to Jones' eyes and said, "Claire, ask Fiji to activate the first-level alert, and ask him to notify Bud to quickly take someone to Munger Planet."

Claire dutifully played the role of a microphone, and also intercepted a short video of the infected attacking people and sent it to Fei Ji, asking him to contact Bud to send troops there.

Cassius continued to go deeper into the spaceship.

He found five hidden survivors in the cargo storage compartment on the second floor, with varying degrees of lacerations on their bodies. Jones found a first aid kit for them to deal with temporarily.

About an hour later, Cassius found a total of ten survivors, and the support from the nearby space station finally arrived. Seeing that he was safe and sound and starting to return, Claire finally let go of his high hanging heart.

Two huge ships came out of the space station, and Cassius went back to the ocean-going ship after a simple docking with them.

As soon as the hatch opened, Claire greeted him immediately.

"Our trip is coming to an end. There are orcs on board who are infected with the plague." Cassius undid the buckle and took off the oxygen mask, with a serious face and apologetic eyes looking at her.

"I know, big things are important." Claire had heard that he was going back temporarily with the people on the space station, she frowned and said, "The Zerg hasn't appeared for a long time, and the unknown star we fell last time found a bunch of them." , Now that the plague is coming again, do you really want to make a comeback?"
