After the two quickly reached a consensus, they immediately took action. The deputy captain hurried to the captain's room, intending to obtain the key that granted the captain's authority.
After all, they have worked together for many years, and the deputy captain knows the key password very well. In his opinion, as long as he can get the key smoothly, he can easily unlock the authority.
At the same time, in the main control room, the captain looked around busy but did not see the deputy captain.
Puzzled, he asked the communicator below, "Where's the deputy captain? Why can't I see him?"
The communicator quickly responded: "The deputy captain called the communications chief away, saying he had something to discuss."
When the captain heard this, he thought to himself that something was wrong. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
He acted decisively, quickly took out his communicator to contact the weapons officer, and urgently ordered, "Take your men to the deputy captain's room immediately and arrest the deputy captain!"
The weapons officer was about to ask the reason when he was rudely interrupted by the captain: "Don't ask so many questions, take people over here immediately!"
The weapons officer didn't hesitate and nodded in response, "Yes, Captain! I'll take the men over right away."
After saying that, he quickly led a team and rushed towards the deputy captain's rest room.
On this side, the deputy captain has successfully obtained the key and successfully reunited with the communications chief Hal.
Without any delay, the two ran straight to the main engine compartment.
They knew that there were computers there that had access permissions.
More importantly, it would take a certain amount of time to intercept them from the main control room, and this time was enough for them to complete the image copying.
The two of them hurried and soon arrived at the main engine area.
The deputy captain couldn't wait to insert the captain's key into the operation terminal, his fingers dancing rapidly on the keyboard.
In an instant, the originally blocked authority of the deputy captain and the communications chief Hal was restored like shackles being unlocked.
Seeing this, Communications Chief Hal quickly moved to another computer and started operating it.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main control room was as tense as a taut bowstring.
A technician anxiously reported to the captain, "Captain, the deputy captain and communications officer Hal, whose permissions should have been revoked, have actually regained them using the captain's key!"
Upon hearing this, the captain's face instantly turned ashen, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the communicator and shouted to the weapons officer, "Get your men to the main engine area right now! They're all there, hurry!"
"That footage must not be released. If it is leaked, everyone on our ship will be trapped in a desperate situation where they cannot live or die!"
The weapons officer on the other end of the communication line was startled when he heard the captain's serious tone, knowing that this matter was of great importance.
He responded hastily, and after hanging up the communication, he turned around and shouted to the team behind him: "Follow me, speed up!"
Then, he led everyone and rushed towards the main engine area like a gust of wind.
However, everything was beyond redemption.
When the weapons officer led everyone to rush over, they saw that the deputy captain and the communications chief Hal had undergone horrible deformation.
The distorted communications chief Hal moved frantically and strangely, transmitting the image to all devices with screens on the ship at an extremely fast speed.
Although the captain was anxious to turn off the video transmission, he was still a step too late.
In an instant, a terrifying incident spread across the ship.
Except for a few lucky crew members, the bodies of most others quickly twisted and deformed after witnessing the image, turning them into horrifying deformed monsters.
Fortunately, the mechas on the ship are all made of machines and are not affected by the images, so these few survivors have temporary support.
But the situation remained dire. In the previous battle with the Dragon Knights, the mechs had been nearly wiped out, leaving only a single battalion. Facing the thousands of deformed humans before them, this small force was clearly a drop in the bucket.
With no other choice, everyone could only retreat to the main control room.
You know, when the Empire first created the ship, the main control room was designed to be the core hub and the most solid area of the ship. This was the result of countless painful lessons, and now it has become their last refuge.
At this time, the weapons officer's face was as pale as paper, with only one arm left, leaning weakly against the cold wall.
He gasped and said, "There are five mecha warriors in a dormant state with fatal injuries behind the main ship."
"I'm not sure if they can kill those deformed people after waking them up, but what is certain is that before they die, they will most likely kill us as well."
"Maybe they and the mutants will both suffer losses? I suggest waking them up. Instead of us dying, we might as well let them fight it out." A survivor said.
"I agree with this proposal, but the question is, who will open them?"
Everyone knew that the mechas were clearly incapable of undertaking such a dangerous mission.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in confusion, and the room fell into dead silence. Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
Seeing that no one agreed, the weapons officer let out a mocking smile and said, "Since no one is willing, then let's just wait and see. I definitely won't go anyway."
"Ahem, I'll go."
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was the captain. Some of the crew members opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something.
But then they thought that if no one woke up those sleeping mecha warriors, they would all die, so they all shut up silently.
The captain looked around calmly, a wry smile on his face, but he said nothing more.
He knew in his heart that the current situation was like opening Pandora's box. They were in a desperate situation and no one could leave here alive.
The terrifying creature that they noticed was recorded in the history of the empire. No one who encountered it could escape disaster.
Rather than living a life worse than death in the future, it is better to fulfill your final duties as a captain.
Then, he resolutely led a team of mechas towards the sanatorium at the rear of the ship.
