After the robotic dog broke open the target compartment door, the scene inside shocked everyone present, including Chen Yu.
Inside the cabin, illuminated by the intense light emanating from the mechanical dog, a chilling scene unfolded.
The floor, and even the ceiling, were covered with intricate blood-red symbols and patterns, which seemed to be some kind of ancient incantation or totem of an unknown civilization, exuding an eerie and evil aura.
Surrounded by these blood runes, a pile of meticulously crafted skulls was stacked high and arranged in a staggered manner, forming a semi-circular altar.
Each skull has hollow, deep-set eye sockets, seemingly telling a tragic story of the past in silence.
In the very center of the altar, there was a crystal bowl filled with dark red liquid. The cabin seemed to be heated, with the temperature reaching below -10 degrees Celsius. The liquid was in a semi-solid state, with a thin layer of ice crystals floating on the surface.
Even through the screen, everyone seemed to smell a nauseating stench.
However, these were not the most shocking things to them. What truly shocked them was a row of neatly arranged steel cages behind the altar.
Each cage contained a "humanoid creature" dressed in a military-style cotton-padded jacket. Let's call them "humanoid creatures" for now, because at this point, they no longer resembled anything human.
Each of them was now a bloody mess, with no part of their bodies unharmed. Some had limbs missing, while others had parts of their flesh cut off, revealing a horrific scene of bones and flesh intertwined.
Some of them had completely lost all signs of life, while others still had a faint flame of life remaining, flickering weakly in their chests like candlelight swaying in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.
Perhaps sensing the intense light, one of the soldiers with stronger vitality slowly raised his bloodied and mangled face, staring blankly at the mechanical dog in front of him.
His eyes were empty and unfocused, but within that emptiness, there seemed to be a hidden, indescribable longing.
“Kill Me!” He opened his mouth with difficulty and said the words in a hoarse and weak voice, as if he had used up all his strength.
These words struck like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present.
As can be seen from the image, one of the man's arms has been severed, and the flesh and blood on both thighs have been completely removed, leaving only bare bones.
It's no wonder that someone who has suffered such inhuman torture would willingly seek death.
How painful and desperate this is!
Chen Yu frowned, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm.
"Who did this to you? (Parrot, details to follow)" Chen Yu asked in a low voice, trying to get more information from the soldier.
"Doctor... he... he is... a... demon!" The soldier's voice was broken and intermittent with fear and pain, each word seeming to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a deep tremor.
"Kill me, please, let me be free!" The soldier's eyes were filled with pleading; he seemed to have given up hope of living and only wished to be freed from endless suffering.
"What do you mean by 'doctor'?" Chen Yu pressed on, trying to extract more valuable information before the soldier's consciousness completely faded.
"A demon! He's a demon!" The soldier began to tremble violently, his voice shrill with agitation and fear. "Kill me! Kill...me, kill..."
The soldier's eyes gradually became unfocused, as if his soul was slowly being drawn out of his body.
"Sigh!" Chen Yu sighed and said, "Let them be free."
“Mr. Chen, killing these people directly might bring them relief, but it could also alert the mastermind behind it all—that so-called ‘doctor.’ Shouldn’t we try to treat these survivors first, get more information about the ‘doctor’ from them, and then take action?” Zhao Feng’s words were clear and logical, demonstrating his calmness and judgment as the airship squadron commander.
“It doesn’t matter anymore, let them be free. They’ve suffered enough already, why torture them any further?” Chen Yu sighed.
"Understood." Zhao Feng nodded.
"Da da da da da~"
As Chen Yu finished speaking, the machine gun on the mechanical dog's back emitted a series of flashes of light.
For the tormented soldiers in the iron cage, this series of gunshots was the prelude to their release.
The bullets struck each person precisely in a vital spot, a final act of mercy towards them.
The soldiers trembled amidst the gunfire, then gradually ceased all movement, and the last trace of pain and despair in their eyes vanished.
For them, this moment was an indescribable relief.
Zhao Feng's concerns were not unfounded, as the gunfire ceased.
A series of hurried footsteps came from the lower deck of the ship.
And the low murmurs of conversation indicated that the crew on board had been alerted and were rapidly gathering here.
Considering that they had no idea about the other side's situation, Chen Yu immediately ordered the mechanical dogs to retreat.
After all, this is on the aircraft carrier Merica, what high-end equipment do others not have?
Moreover, the space inside an aircraft carrier is complex, and he doesn't expect to be able to easily subdue the opponent with just a mechanical dog or a group of drones.
However, just as the robotic dog was quickly retreating, a white shadow suddenly flashed across the screen.
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~" The mechanical dog fired decisively.
But the white figure was exceptionally agile, flashing behind a wall in the blink of an eye and disappearing without a trace.
"Don't pursue a desperate enemy, continue the retreat!" Chen Yu ordered.
The mechanical dog quickly responded to Chen Yu's command, adjusted its direction, and accelerated its retreat.
The corridors inside the ship are intricate and complex, and the robotic dog, with its advanced navigation system and keen perception, moves nimbly through the narrow spaces.
Just when everyone thought the robotic dog was about to be successfully evacuated.
With a loud "boom," the screen in front of everyone suddenly went black, and the mechanical dog completely lost signal.
"Well, we've lost a good dog." Lin Lele sighed with regret.
"Hehe, it's alright." Chen Yu didn't seem to care.
They brought a full 100 of these mechanical dogs this time; they were just industrial products, and if they were lost, they could simply be reproduced.
But what truly troubled them was the unknown enemy lurking deep within the aircraft carrier.
The unknown always makes people feel uneasy.
Even so, he did not regret helping to free those who had been imprisoned.
