The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"This is... what's going on?!"

Chapter 506 Chapter 460: Dead body travel (=^?ω?^=)

Under the light of the lightsaber, the scene inside the bridge can be seen at a glance——

Although the style of the internal structure is far from that of Tartarus, it does not jump out of the [bridge] range.The captain's seat in the middle, the chairs and consoles distributed in a circle nearby, and the large open space in the front—generally speaking, it is a place specially vacated for the purpose of releasing holographic projections.Because the ship itself is not big, there are not many operator seats, but it has everything that should be there, and it is generally quite satisfactory.

However, there are a lot of corpses lying here and there, all of them holding damaged weapons without exception, and all of them have fatal wounds.The internal organs and deformed bodies in the body flowed from the split stomach to the ground, and the scorched biological tissue shattered at the slightest touch, scattering like sand.

There were more than twenty corpses, all of them were infected with protruding eyestalks.

"what's going on?"

Oregana stepped into the bridge and murmured, but just like her, no one knew why this happened.

The previous speculation that the infected attacked the ship, fought with the fighters on board, and seized the ship does not seem to be true-here it is just the infected who are fighting each other, and the battle on the bridge seems to have happened recently.

With a sullen face, the legion commander turned on the lights on his shoulders and forehead, then put away his lightsaber.Taking care not to step on the corpse, she walked towards the console in front of the captain's seat.The corpse can't speak, but if the system here is not completely destroyed, at least the machine spirit should remember something.

"Let's talk to this ship, you go to check the corpse...?"

Just when she walked to the side of the captain's seat, her movements suddenly stopped——

A woman was sitting on the captain's seat, or rather, a woman's corpse.The body wore a crisp blue uniform, shoulder straps gleaming in the light.Through the light, the legion commander saw that this person had a cute face that could be said to be a bit childish, and short light blue hair that gave people a dreamy feeling.

Her figure is very petite, she looks similar to Huo Ling.Because he was completely huddled behind the captain's seat and his body was blocked by the high chair back, he didn't see it at all just now.

Now, her blue uniform was covered with blood, and her lovely face was frozen in the moment of pain and anger before she died.Her left eye seemed to be spitting out anger, but a dagger was stuck in her right eye——she sat on the captain's seat like this, holding the dagger with both hands, and stabbed it into her eye socket forcefully. The eyes that had begun to turn into eye stalks were completely destroyed along with his own brain.

The eye stalks were cut open in the middle by a sharp blade, drooping from the eye sockets like two pieces of konjac, and the mucus slowly flowed down the cheeks, like dry tears.

The force was so powerful, the reason why she could still sit on the captain's seat was because the dagger penetrated the entire head, pierced out from the back of the head, and nailed herself to the chair like a nail.

The sharp sword piercing the eye... looks like the embodiment of the heraldry they use.

"Is it...suicide?" Yao came over, and also noticed the self-destructive captain, and suddenly a strange feeling emerged deep in his heart.

It's déjà vu, and she's definitely seen someone die in such a very incongruous manner before—ordinary self-destruction on the battlefield is usually just feeding yourself a glowing bullet with a pistol or something, or it's common Self-destruction, like this kind of piercing through the head, both the mental pressure and the difficulty of operation are too great.

Yao mobilized his memory and began to recall who did this...

emmmmm...memories are starting to come up...

In the New Eden Calendar, on June [-]th of the third year, after the great warlord Oregana finished designing the new colonial ship [Negative Toad Class], she revisited "JOJO's Wonderful Adventures" and tried to imitate DIO to open her mind, but He didn't think it was cool enough, so he changed to a lightsaber, turned on a flashlight to his eyes and died on the spot.

It turned out to be you, boss! (cover face)

You really affect people's thinking, you know that!Meow thought that he had found a clue, but after following the clue, he thought it was his own way to kill him! (fall)

Although Yao really wanted to cover his face, he gave up because he couldn't cover his face with a mask.

"This child...has a protagonist's face." Oregana sighed. She didn't pull out the short sword with gorgeous patterns carved on the hilt rashly, although she didn't mind it in the battle. He cut the enemy to pieces, but he didn't like to touch the dead who had no direct conflict with him.The legion commander looked at the alien who died on the captain's seat, turned his attention to the console, and said to the person next to him, "Come here, someone, scan her...see if there is anything in the abdominal cavity."

The eye stalk has only grown out a little bit, the other eye is normal, maybe that's what it looks like halfway through the infection outbreak.Taking a closer look, almost all the corpses in the bridge are like this.Compared with the two in the previous Keha Palace, their eye stalks are much shorter, and some of them are only as long as a thumb protruding from the eye sockets.

emmm... well, although it's still quite disgusting.Obviously, this kind of scene often appears in Tom and Jerry, but it’s just funny when you look at it like that. Is it really because of the style of the painting?

"It's kind of like that..." A marine pulled apart two clumps of corpses. The two were still fighting hard at the last moment. One man stabbed his opponent's chest with a long knife, and the one who was stabbed The man held a heavy pistol with an empty magazine.

"Like what?" Someone asked him.

"Like...the Abyss Watcher of Fort Faran." The marine replied, "It's very similar, right?"

"Listen to you..."

Dying non-stop at work and at leisure, we think you need a break. (cover face)

"emmm..."

Oregana knew what she was talking about. It appeared in "Dark Soul", a legion composed of powerful undead, and they performed surveillance duties at the place closest to the abyss—Frann Fortress.Faran Fortress and the entire filthy forest are the most severely eroded places on the entire continent by the abyss, because its underground is the Kasas catacombs that have long been swallowed by the abyss.

But just like the protagonists in other similar stories, during the long process of staring at each other with the abyss, the mighty French undead team failed to stare over the abyss in the end.Staring long into the abyss can corrupt even the staunchest members, and this corruption leads to undead squads killing each other.

On this bridge, the hacking and killing between the infected bodies is very similar to the ancient and sad battlefield in the Fortress of Faran.

"Alas..." Oregana sighed slightly. Legend has it that when an immortal warrior is used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, joys and sorrows, and having enough experience, he will start to feel at peace with life and death, light and death. , no longer feel sad about a particular demise.But until now, Your Excellency the Skullmaker has only looked down on his own life and death.

She shook her head and focused her attention on the console, but obviously, Oregana didn't know how to properly activate or disassemble this set of equipment—it's not easy to understand things made by alien civilizations at once. possible things, so she chose to use unconventional means to solve the problem.

"Give us Xiuji." Oregana stretched out her hand to the side, and immediately a marine put two cylindrical containers into her hands.

The container is red and looks like some kind of herbal tea jar.She casually opened the top pull ring, and poured the green liquid content on the operating table.This might seem like the unwise move of pouring water on a keyboard, but that's not water or a drink or anything like that, and it's not even actually a 'liquid'.

That's two cans of nanobots.

It's not the kind used to repair the armor, but the kind of 'search type' that can enter the interior of the machine along the gaps in the structure, find the desired hardware structure, and identify the internal structure. (The plan to mix this into the shower water while the [-]th Land Fleet was taking a shower was killed before it even started)

The green 'living metal' flowed on the surface of the console, slowly penetrated into it, and disappeared from sight.Oregana opened the electronic boards and watched them go all the way down the pipeline—just as imagined, the bottom of the console is directly connected to the main computer, and the three databases are distributed next to the main computer. The volume of the entire set of components exceeds fifteen cubic meters Meter.

"It's so small."

"After all, it's just a computer equipped on a [-]-meter-class battleship. This size is within the expected range." She rotated the gradually formed three-dimensional model projection, drew a frame with a hook of her finger, and framed it all. Take it out... Liu Lizi, let the engineering team disassemble the ship from the side."

【clear. 】

The next disassembly work can be handed over to the engineering team. It's not like the hard drive that was broken into the United Earth Laboratory and taken away.When preparing to work on an unfamiliar system, the ideal way is to pack the entire system away, so as to avoid missing anything to the greatest extent.

"The scanning here is over." Then the marines of this scanner stood up, "The organs in these people can be seen to be distorted, and the tissue similar to sea anemones has just sprouted. But it seems that the organism itself is dead After that, the process of mutation stops."

Oregana tried to think about it, but couldn't think of a reason. The only conclusion she got was that this mutation only stayed in the category of [mutation], and it would not make the affected organisms become like undead-type ones. Like creatures, they can continue to be aggressive with you even if they are pierced through all their vitals.

She is not a mad doctor, and cannot effectively decipher the required information from the corpse.Sure enough, after that, it is still necessary to analyze the data stored in the shipboard computer.

At this moment, Oregana very much hopes to know how this battle happened, what happened before the battle, and whether the two attackers went to Keha to play iron boards before or after the battle. What is the purpose of going to Keha.

All the mysteries exist in the shipboard computer that is about to be disassembled.

[The engineering team is in place, the dismantling process will cause the bridge to partially collapse, please evacuate from the hull quickly. 】Liu Lizi sent a communication, and the construction machinery is already on standby outside the hull. As soon as an order is given, the engineers will immediately break open the hull and start working.It doesn't take much work to deal with small warships without energy armor and internal force field stabilization systems, they can be completed in no time.

"Well, we'll be right out."

Oregana nodded, and she waved to everyone:

"Everyone, start evacuating immediately."

The team members put away the equipment in their hands, uploaded the scanned data to the data repository on the Very Leopard, and followed Oregana's instructions to return from the same passageway just now.

Oregana followed at the end, she took a last look at the tomb filled with eerie atmosphere, raised her legs and walked towards the gate of the bridge——

"..."

Something seemed to be ringing in her ears—it was indeed ringing in her ears, and she even heard a little electrical noise of poor communication.There was a slight murmur in the earphones, but Oregana couldn't understand what was said.

"Huh?" Her first reaction was that someone was humming in the communication channel and turned off the free mic, and when she was about to rectify the situation, she realized that the voice just now did not belong to anyone in the team.That voice sounded very young, belonging to Liu Lizi's age, but Liu Lizi's recognizable voice, which seemed to be as recognizable as the cat wearing a plastic bag, Oregana could not be mistaken.

"Boss?" Yao, who had already walked out, poked his head into the bridge, "What's wrong?"

Oregana looked around:

"We seem to hear something. Who called us just now? The one with a voice changer?"

"no……"

"Did someone chat privately?"

The team members looked at each other in blank dismay, no one would make such a joke during the mission - according to the rules, this was to be pulled out to sacrifice the flag.

"It won't be the corpse that greets us, saying that it will give us the head..." Oregana spread her hands and looked at the crucified little captain next to her. "Is that you?"

Of course, it was impossible for the corpse to open its mouth to speak, but when Oregana looked at the corpse nailed to the captain's seat, the short sword with gorgeous patterns piercing through the eyes suddenly glowed red.Oregana didn't expect such a development at all, and made a bewildered voice on the spot——

"Fuck?!"

This is not the kind of sound and light phenomenon with unknown principles such as sudden psychic lightning or Saiyan's fighting spirit explosion-there is a small indicator light at the end of the dagger hilt, which suddenly lights up.

The light is very weak, and the principle is very simple, but the timing of the light up is really ingenious.

It's as if you're responding to yourself.

Is it a coincidence?

no, not quite like...

A clear expression appeared on Oregana's face under the helmet. She lowered her head, picked up the jar just now, and dropped the last drop of 'Xiuji' next to the red light at the end of the sword hilt.After Xiuji found the seam, he immediately infiltrated it, and then, the internal structure of the sword hilt gradually took shape in front of Oregana's eyes——

The hilt of this short sword is a bit long enough for its user to hold it with both hands. The front of the hilt is close to the blade, and there is a small energy box, which is connected to a force field generator and a plasma generator. This makes this short sword able to pop out the light blade for close combat like their long swords.

But it's not just a sword.

Apart from these structures, there is also a device inside the hilt that Oregana cannot identify. This device uses a thumb-sized crystal as the core, surrounded by a series of complex structures.Ever since she came into contact with the Protoss, Oregana has developed a full sensitivity to this shiny structure.

Where there are crystal-like things, it must be super powerful high-tech, such as the armor of the fanatic, the core of the mothership, the holy crystal, the main gun of the void ship, and so on. (convinced)

This is interesting...

Oregana didn't dare to let Xiuji touch this structure too much, and immediately gave the order to let the nanomachines come out. A few seconds later, the drop of Xiuji fell down the hilt of the sword and fell into the jar in the hands of the legion commander. completed its mission.

"Boss?"

"I found something interesting." Oregana replied, and then stretched out her hand, trying to break off the captain's already stiff fingers—it was not so easy, she held the sword too tightly, Oregana Na couldn't keep her hands intact without opening her fingers.

After a few unsuccessful attempts, her heart thumped and her hands strained.With a few crisp sounds, the corpse's fingers were snapped off like a stick of sesame candy.

Oregana could swear that this was the worst time she felt touching a corpse.She took a deep breath, firmly grasped the beautifully crafted dagger, and pulled it out from the corpse's head with all her strength.Fragments and viscous tissues scattered around, adding another touch to the tragedy here.

Under the light of the headlamp, the dagger's blade was covered with mucus and dried blood, reflecting a pale white light slightly.

"Do you want to take this dagger back?"

"Well, we think there may be some clues here." Oregana put the dagger into the storage box made of gold, held it in her hand and strode out of the bridge. "Everyone, let's go."

Behind them, the bridge gradually vibrated violently like a fragile sand castle under the mighty power of construction machinery. Large chunks of metal fragments peeled off from the wall like a torrential rain, cracks extended along the alloy wall, and then huge cracks appeared. hole.Many corpses were shaken into the air by the impact, floated out of the universe along the hole, and were burned to ashes by the anti-epidemic drones waiting outside, while more corpses were buried in the ruins of steel, and the one inside the ganaku Like the eyeball monsters, they are saved for the last to be completely destroyed with high-powered naval guns.

After all, this is Keha, what if someone slips through the net?A few living monsters fell into Korhal, who knew if the damage would be as great as the Zerg.This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

"After digging out the main engine, destroy the ship directly, and then we evacuate Keha." She ordered, "Remember, it must be sterilized with oyster before it can be loaded on the ship."

[Understood, after evacuating, return directly to Haven Base? 】

"No, we have to go to a more remote place." The legion leader said, "Send a message to the headquarters of New Eden, we need the assistance of the survivors."

【Yes. 】
