"How magnificent!"
Upon entering the hatch, the magnificent sight left Nekoya speechless with astonishment. A blue halo above made the central area appear less dark.
The corpses observed earlier had all sunk to the bottom; the human bodies had long since turned into skeletons, but the insects still retained their original form, as if even the decomposers on the seabed were unwilling to touch them.
After entering this area, Su Yuan became very cautious. He still did not rush to start looking for the divine artifact, but instead led everyone to explore this vast area.
The spaceship is shaped like a tower. He can get a general idea of it through the system's identification function. The black pillar in the middle is the spaceship's energy center, and countless hatches around it connect to various areas.
Ordinary people lie in the densely packed hibernation pods outside, like a honeycomb, while many rooms in this place are private rest pods provided for people of certain status and power.
Some of the hatches were already open, and Su Yuan led the group into one of them. The door had already been torn open by the insectoids, and when the light shone in, they could only see a room submerged by seawater.
There were no living creatures inside. Judging from the decor, it was a lounge with some electronic toys and a photograph on the table, but the remains of the person in the photograph were not in the room.
"Let's go."
Su Yuan tugged on the rope, interrupting Xin Ke, who was staring at the toilet bowl with curiosity, and the group returned to the central area.
After investigating several of the opened hatches, they found nothing inside. Apart from some high-tech electronic entertainment products, the biggest find was the recording projector.
It seemed these areas were not the core area. Su Yuan was somewhat unwilling to give up. He tried to come to the outside of a sealed hatch. A red light was flashing next to him, which was more powerful than the red light of the spaceship in the cave before.
Upon their arrival, an electronic seal popped up on the hatch.
Su Yuan took a closer look and noticed a black transparent screen on the side of the hatch, just like the one in the cave before. He immediately took out his identity key and stuck it on it.
A slight humming sound came from the seabed, causing the seawater to ripple. Then the red light stopped, and the hatch slowly opened.
Seawater rushed into the open hatch from all sides, and many objects were scattered out with the surging seawater. Before Su Yuan could react, a dark shadow darted out.
The creature was incredibly fast, immediately charging towards the nearest Hunter Flame. Its sharp claws slammed into Hunter Flame's black chest armor, sending him flying.
Before Su Yuan and the others could react, they were pulled over by the rope.
"insect?"
Did they not die in such an extreme environment?
Su Yuan dared not be careless. He pulled the ropes and dragged everyone to his side, immediately activating spatial folding to prioritize protecting Hai Ling and the others who were not wearing the Nether Rock Heavy Armor.
The increase in the number of people also increased the consumption of spatial elements. He did not waste any time and shone the light on the rushing black shadow, gathering the spatial cutting magic in his hand into a dagger.
The folded state disappeared, and the blade instantly appeared, slashing at the dark figure. Only after the head was severed could the figure's appearance be clearly seen.
A human corpse.
[Unknown Infected: A Tier 3 monster infected by an unknown pathogen. Its abilities have declined due to prolonged lack of energy intake. Its corpse carries a virus that can be transmitted (now ineffective)]
Upon seeing that it was a virus spreading, Su Yuan was so frightened that he immediately activated the spatial folding and retreated backward. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed the small words in parentheses.
My heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down a bit.
These bizarre insects not only possess the ability to become invisible, but also the ability to spread viruses and infect living organisms. No wonder even technologically advanced aliens perished on this planet.
