Chapter 932 The City in the Spaceship

Although it was unreasonable to say this, Hao Ren truly felt that Vivian was the most versatile among the monsters in his family. Lily can only do hard work (not necessarily reliable), May can only wash things, Lao Wang can be used when the gas tank is used up, Gun...Gun's only role is to take care of the fish, in contrast to Wei Wei An is simply an all-rounder. She can do everything in the hall and kitchen, and is proficient in laundry, cooking, mending, and cleaning. Moreover, it can be used as an air conditioner when the weather is hot, and it can also be used as a power supply during a power outage, especially as a power supply. This function was still used by Lily a while ago. I discovered it, and then everyone in the family said that it was very practical. Nowadays, no one takes a portable power supply or charger with them when they go out. Every time their mobile phone runs out of power, they just put it into Vivian's hand. It has become a habit. .

Hao Ren handed the cable to Vivian, who immediately pouted: "Why do I always have to do this kind of thing?"

But complaining was a complaint, so she habitually transformed into a little electrified bat, stuffed one of the cables into the little bat's mouth, bit the other cable, and rolled her eyes helplessly: "Open the door. Stay away and be careful of the airflow..."

Others immediately found protrusions on the side bulkhead that could fix themselves or simply ran out of the ramp, while Hao Ren grabbed the cut steel frame behind Vivian and held onto Vivian's hand with the other hand. Arms to prevent the airflow from inside the gate from blowing people away when the gate is opened (because judging from the state of the spacecraft, it is difficult to determine whether its airlock is still functioning normally). After confirming that everyone was ready, Vivian and her little bat pushed hard at the same time, and a string of tiny sparks immediately burst out from her teeth.

Then something like a relay bounced on the substrate connected to the other end of the cable. Hao Ren felt a slight vibration coming from his hand, and then the unusually thick-looking gate trembled and opened.

A large number of complex mechanical locks were operating, and the gate was slowly divided into multiple thick steel plates and retreated in all directions. However, as the gate opened, no air flow came out from inside. Hao Ren saw a dim space opposite the gate, with only a few incomplete lights flickering in the darkness, outlining some weird silhouettes.

Accompanied by a stronger vibration, the gate suddenly got stuck just after it opened one-fifth of the way. Vivian pinched her bat hard and tried to send the door opening signal again, but there was no response.

"Mechanical failure, it seems this door can only do this," Hao Ren stopped Vivian's attempt to increase the voltage. He carefully came to the gate to confirm that the door would not suddenly close again, and then poked his head inside. Looking at it, "Well, it's wide enough. Let's go in. Move quickly and try not to touch things."

A group of people filed through the gap in the open gate and entered the dark space inside. Although there were only some incomplete lights behind the gate (and these lights did not look like they were specially used for lighting), fortunately the people present had special eyesight and were still able to It won't make you unable to see. After entering the gate, Hao Ren immediately looked deeper. Sure enough, he saw another gate about dozens of meters away, and what was worse: that gate was open.

"There is no airflow," Vivian released a small bat, which flapped its wings in mid-air but was unable to fly out, "unless the people inside the ship don't need to breathe."

"They must need to breathe, because this is an air-locked cabin. Look at the structure of these two gates." Hao Ren pointed to the door opposite that seemed to be kept open due to a mechanical failure. "The air-locked cabin has failed. It was opened just now." I didn't feel any airflow at the outermost door, so I'm worried that this place has completely lost pressure, and there may be a relatively large leak somewhere else."

As he spoke, he took the lead and floated forward. Of course, he knew that maybe the situation was not so bad: this was a giant ship with a length of more than 100 kilometers. It could almost be said to be a mini artificial planet. It is impossible to rely on this air-locked cabin to communicate with the outside world. Maybe everyone just happened to come in through one of the failed air-locked cabins, and there should be other blocking facilities in front. If encountered, there might be someone in this ship who survived.

But as they continued deeper into the giant ship, the situation began to become increasingly pessimistic.

They were moving forward in the huge and old steel passage. What they saw along the way were old equipment and broken things that had seriously exceeded their service life. The internal lighting of the spacecraft seemed to be completely paralyzed, leaving only the like in the darkness. The emergency lights flashed occasionally like will-o'-the-wisps. They found some terminal-like devices on the road. However, due to the total system power failure, even using Vivian's external power supply to activate these devices was of no use.

"Aren't all the people in here dead?" Nangong Wuyue carefully crawled along some huge pipes in the passage. She used her long tail to wrap around the protrusions everywhere to ensure that her body was in contact at all times. Wearing something would give her a great sense of security, "I can't feel any living water. Within a few kilometers, all I can feel is ice, ice that doesn't contain any breath of life."

Hao Ren didn't say anything, but he felt more and more the gloomy and depressing atmosphere here. He kept the data terminal sharing with his senses, so that he could see the situation deep in the surrounding steel channels at any time, but all he saw was various shutdowns. The electronic systems and mechanical devices of the ship seemed to have shut down except for the ship's own propellers, which were still running.

Finally, after passing through countless faulty gates and forked roads, they came to a quite wide place. It seemed to be a transportation hub, shaped like a strange oval egg. Channels from all directions converged here to form a A place like a "waiting hall". The lighting situation here is slightly better than elsewhere, perhaps because the backup generator is still running, and a third of the lights in the hall are functioning normally.

There were many huge vertical pillars in the center of the hall. Hao Ren initially thought they were supporting parts of the building, but when he walked over, he realized that these were elevator-like things: they seemed to lead to the inner space of the spacecraft.

"They're all broken... maybe it's because of the power outage," Nangong Sanba stepped forward and patted the operating panels at the door of several "elevators." "But it seems like you can only go down from this place."

Hao Ren thought for a moment and patted Lily's head: "Cut this open."

Lily immediately happily raised the fire and stepped forward, but before starting to cut, she turned her head to confirm: "Are you sure?"

"After scanning, there is no life reaction below," Hao Ren pointed to the data terminal beside him, "At least there is no life reaction within several kilometers."

Lily had no doubts anymore, and immediately waved her claws and slashed at the "elevator columns" with sparks flying, and soon cut off the entire door of one of the elevators, revealing the dark passage inside. Hao Ren looked down and found a dim shaft below, but he couldn't see where the elevator car was.

Vivian took out a small bat to explore the way. Considering that there was no air here, the bat could not fly down on its own, so she took out a slingshot. After taking a rough aim, she used the slingshot to collapse her bat clone. Go down.

After a while, a wisp of blood floated up from the dark shaft. Vivian reabsorbed the blood back into her body: "Safe, there is a very long elevator shaft below. There are some cracks in the middle of the shaft. You can get out from there."

Hao Ren checked the shield and entered the shaft first.

He continued to go deeper along the shaft, with only dim pointing lights emitting some half-dead light around him. But after continuing deeper for a while, he saw some brighter lights coming from below, which shocked him. , and immediately accelerated to get closer.

Just like Vivian said, there are several cracks next to the elevator shaft. These cracks seem to be torn apart due to the distortion and deformation of the surrounding ancient steel supports. Some light shines in from the cracks, and there seems to be a place outside. A brighter place.

Hao Ren gestured to his companions behind him to alert them, and then he was the first to get through the crack that was wide enough for adults to pass through.

The scene outside made him stunned.

He saw a city.

A silent city in the twilight.

"Landlord, what did you see? What did you see?" Lily's whirring voice came from the communicator. Hao Ren felt like a furry head hit him from behind, and Lily fumbled through the cracks in the elevator shaft. came out, and then the husky girl stayed on the spot with Hao Ren.

"Wow! Battlestar!"
