Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 261 Living Battleship

The figure disappeared in a flash, but Li Yelai became alert. That is definitely not an illusion!

"Did you see it?" Li Yelai asked quickly.

"Keep your voice down, what did you see?" Jing Lin, still wary of the flesh-and-blood aberrations that had just fallen asleep, turned around and asked.

"There is someone up there! It should be said that there was a humanoid object, which was looking down at us from the bridge just now. It disappeared in the blink of an eye." Li Yelai said.

"I didn't notice it. Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Jing Lin asked.

"No. Even if you see it wrong, the object will not disappear directly." Li Yelai responded: "There must be something movable there. And it's humanoid."

"It is difficult for humans to survive in this environment. Could it be a returnee or other parasite?" Jing Lin looked up at the bridge above: "But it saw us, but it didn't attack."

"It can be speculated that it is not the same group as the flesh and blood aberration." Li Yelai analyzed: "It does not want the flesh and blood aberration to discover it."

"That's good, then at least it won't take the initiative to attack." Jing Lin whispered.

The two set off again.

Jing Lin walked in front, his left eye flashed, and his 'Extreme Subtlety' ability started to activate. If there were any changes, flying dust or sliding screws would be noticed by him immediately.

Li Yelai walked half a step behind him. Once Jinglin launched an attack, Li Yelai could immediately support him.

However, as the two climbed higher, they saw signs of a fierce battle.

In a ship that was completely overturned and pieced together with other ships, the two saw a large number of scattered bullet casings and the decomposed corpses of more than a dozen flesh aberrations.

Those flesh and blood aberrations were obviously dismembered. Their corpses had turned into bones, and the flesh and blood on them had completely disappeared.

He must have been dead for many years.

But Li Yelai and Jing Lin's expressions changed, because there were obvious signs of burning, biting and tearing on the bones.

Jing Lin squatted on the ground, looking at a thigh bone, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

This deformed and twisted thigh bone has obvious knife marks and tooth marks!

"Old Li, these are human teeth marks." Jing Lin said in a low voice.

"It seems that they are indeed survivors." Li Yelai responded with a grin.

In this dangerous place where the sun never shines, the survivors have no logistics and reinforcements, and naturally no food sources.

If you don't want to do anything to your companions, you can only eat the deformed flesh and blood mutants, even if they were once humans or other creatures. In order to survive, you have to work hard to swallow this meat.

"Can you guess the time?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.

Jing Lin was silent for a few seconds and then responded: "The vibration just shook the dust here. I'm not sure whether my judgment is correct, thirty years!"

The Border Fleet lost contact forty-three years ago, and the previous mines and footprints were also around forty years ago. Now there are traces from thirty years ago.

The survivors persisted in this hellish place for ten years?

How did they persevere?

Are they still insisting?

Thinking of this, both of them were silent for a while, and then immediately approached Daqi.

Although the hope is very slim, they still hope to find the Border Fleet soldiers from back then.

However, when the two passed through a crew room, they were stunned.

In the crew room, two skeletal bodies lay.

They were wearing Border City combat uniforms, holding obviously modified firearms in their hands, and were leaning against each other in the corner of the room.

And their heads were chopped off by themselves and fell on their bodies,

They were soldiers of the Border Fleet. They were far away from home and eventually died here.

Li Yelai looked at the two bodies and remained silent.

Jing Lin checked it and whispered: "It's the incision of the chain sword. Judging from the posture, one of them put the chain sword on the necks of the two people, and then activated the chain sword. If their heads are cut off or their heads are missing, they will not turn into flesh-and-blood aberrations. This is their last resistance."

"They don't want to become monsters until they die! They are worthy of being soldiers of your Border City!"

"It's embarrassing for them. If someone can bury them, it won't be so hard." Li Yelai sighed, feeling very uncomfortable.

He suddenly thought of the illusion he saw during his fifth awakening.

Why can the creatures in the restricted area come back again and again!

But humans have to pay the lives of countless heroes!

This is not fair! So unfair!

Human beings also want to gain immortality and eternal life!

All things are corrupt, but all living beings are immortal!

‘Oh, all living beings are immortal. ’ Li Yelai thought silently in his heart.

Later, the two walked through the cabin and saw more corpses of flesh and blood aberrations.

Instead of seeing human corpses, we saw steel footprints.

Those should be the footprints of the Border Guards.

"There are traces of dragging on the ground, and the bodies of human soldiers were dragged away." Jing Lin glanced at the battlefield and responded: "There were at least twenty human soldiers here."

The battle here was fierce, with hundreds of flesh-and-blood aberrations besieging the Iron Guards and human soldiers.

The human soldiers relied on firepower to suppress the monsters, but eventually ran out of ammunition.

The soldiers picked up engineer shovels or held knives and sabers. Engaged in hand-to-hand combat with flesh-and-blood aberrations!

But after losing the suppression of thermal weapons, the flesh-and-blood aberrations with psychic barriers clearly gained the upper hand.

The human warriors spent a lot of money to eliminate this group of aberrations.

"Taking away the bodies of human soldiers may be to avoid being turned into flesh and blood deformities." Jing Lin said: "Perhaps the Iron Guards took them away."

"Iron Guards. How long can they live?" Li Yelai asked.

Before becoming a psychic, Li Yelai knew that the Border Iron Guards were definitely a powerful existence in the legend!

They are powerful and have a long lifespan. Before the psychic was exposed, they were invincible in the eyes of the people of the giant city.

When the giant city was established, they protected humans from danger and fought with warlords in the wilderness.

It was not until all dangers were eliminated that they faded out of the sight of the people. It is a true legend.

In fact, the Border Iron Guards are all non-psychic soldiers who have undergone various biological transformations.

After the transformation, they cannot become psychics, but their bodies are stronger and can perfectly adapt to heavy power armor.

That is the technology from a forbidden area civilization. After the human ancestors conquered the disaster fog that failed to become a forbidden area, they passed this technology to other human giant cities. The combat power of the giant city side has been greatly improved.

In fact, the Iron Guards in each giant city circle have their own differences and names.

In the border city, they are called Border Iron Guards, and their power armor is thicker.

In the Yaoqing giant city, they are called Snow Riders, and their power armor is equipped with heat insulation equipment.

"Your Border Iron Guards and our Snow Riders have undergone the same transformation, so theoretically they should have a lifespan of 200 years." Jing Lin responded: "Do you think there are Iron Guards still alive? It's difficult. Even Iron Guards need regular maintenance and upkeep. In this environment, it's hard to survive."

"At least it's a hope." Li Yelai responded: "We didn't see the bodies of the Iron Guards, which means everything is possible."

Then, the two continued to move forward.

Finally, they approached the big drive, but the structure of the big drive was relatively intact, and the two did not find the entrance to it.

Because they didn't want to destroy the hull of the battleship, the two climbed onto the deck and climbed into it from the unclosed missile silo on the deck.

After entering the missile silo, the two did not find the flesh and blood deformed body, but saw more than a dozen huge missiles. They were displayed in groups of four in the missile silo.

"Is this the one with a maximum speed of ten Mach?" Li Yelai asked.

"It should be." Jing Lin sighed: "If it weren't for the technological gap, the restricted area army would be bombed when they go out! That's ten times the speed of sound. Of course, I've also heard of cases where missiles were interfered with by the restricted area and turned around to attack the giant city."

"Don't worry, the three restricted areas in the border city are all barbarians, and they don't have that ability." Li Yelai spoke up and laughed at the three restricted areas in the border city.

Some restricted area civilizations have excessive technology. The prosthesis, iron guard transformation surgery, and power armor of the giant city are all from some restricted areas or disaster fog.

But there are also many restricted area civilizations that take the psychic route. The level of technology is far inferior to that of humans.

There is nothing much to say about the Doomsday Forest. It mass-produces extraordinary creatures. Except for the core area, there is no civilization to speak of.

And Black Source City and Heavenly Kingdom are not on the technological route.

Although they have unique technology, they are not enough to crush humans.

Then, the two walked out of the missile silo and entered the interior of the ship after forcing open a solid metal protective door.

But they felt a chill, and both of them exhaled obvious white mist. It was obvious that the temperature in the cabin was extremely low. Even with the psychic barrier, Li Yelai also felt a chill.

At the same time, the instruments carried by the two also issued a low alarm.

‘Warning, oxygen shortage...’

The two immediately turned off the warning to avoid attracting nearby flesh and blood deformities. And immediately took off or pulled up the visor and put on the oxygen mask.

“How could this happen?” Li Yelai and Jing Lin frowned.

In a completely silent warship, there is actually an ultra-low temperature environment? Moreover, the oxygen content in the air is frighteningly low.

Without an oxygen mask, ordinary people will die quickly in such a space.

Of course, psychics are not feeling well either. At least at the current level of the two, although they can be obtained for a long time in an oxygen-free state, they still need to breathe.

“Is the warship still running?” Li Yelai said.

“How many years has it been? This large destroyer is not nuclear-powered.” Jing Lin shook his head.

The two were a little confused, but they continued to move forward.

However, the two turned on the handheld searchlight and took a few steps. A dull sound came from behind.

The protective door that was pulled open by the two people together was actually closed?

"Fuck." Jing Lin cursed in a low voice and was about to step forward to open the protective door again.

Li Yelai stopped him: "Okay, someone doesn't want us to destroy this low-temperature oxygen-free environment."

As he said that, Li Yelai's searchlight swept into a room on the side.

Jing Lin took a closer look and his face changed.

In the room, there were more than a dozen bodies of human soldiers lying, all of them had terrible fatal injuries.

At this moment, they fell peacefully in the room. Falling into an endless eternal sleep.

The low temperature and oxygen-free environment prevented their bodies from rotting. At least not yet

No one wants to protect the bodies of these soldiers from being desecrated by any force!

"Oh my God." Jing Lin picked up the portable searchlight and quickly scanned the rooms of the ship.

Warship soldiers sleeping with weapons in hand, border guards wearing broken power armor, and border city handlers wearing black windbreakers.

There are a large number of corpses in almost every room. The low temperature and oxygen-free environment make them sleep on their warships.

They had roared with anger at the enemies of humanity on the battleship, and now, they were guarding their battleships as always.

As always

"Someone. Is anyone still alive?" Jing Lin looked at Li Yelai, his eyes full of disbelief.

It had been more than 40 years, but someone had arranged everything and preserved the bodies of the soldiers.

And, those who did all this were still alive!

"I don't know until we get to the bridge!" Li Yelai responded.

The two immediately crossed the fallen corridor and the rooms where the dead were stationed.

There were frozen blood vessels and eternally sleeping soldiers in the corridor, but there was no flesh and blood deformity.

This allowed the two to quickly cross the corridor and come to the huge metal door.

The two pushed the door open together and came to the bridge.

The bridge had obviously been modified, and thick steel plates sealed the windows of the bridge. The only window that was well preserved was where Li Yelai saw the figure.

At the same time, there were terrible traces of battle in the bridge, where hot melt bombs and machine guns had been fired. There were also a lot of traces of psychic battles.

But the bridge was empty, and the two did not hear a second heartbeat or breathing sound other than each other.

"There is still oxygen here, and the temperature is not low." Jing Lin took off the oxygen mask and responded: "Are they hiding from us?"

"At least for now, they don't plan to see us."

Li Yelai walked towards the control console, almost all of which were destroyed by the battle.

But on one of the consoles, there was a saber inserted and a logbook nailed on it.

Li Yelai took off the saber and picked up the logbook.

The first half of the logbook was torn off, so that the first page Li Yelai saw was.

'June 3, 28th year of the Giant City Calendar. The No. 1 border received a distress signal, and the fleet set out to leave the port and pursue the signal. We crossed the Treasure Island Strait and obtained supplies, and we will save our fellow human beings! '

'On June 10, we encountered extraordinary marine creatures and won a great victory! '

'On June 15, we discovered the existence of a suspected restricted area, named the Great Whirlpool. We were caught by the whirlpool and it was difficult to escape. The psychics were also unable to get in touch. ’

‘On July 1, in the unknown sea, we encountered the mermaid creatures in the Great Whirlpool Forbidden Zone, and won a great victory! ’

‘On July 8, the fleet psychics seemed to hear the sound of the battleship. How could the battleship make a sound? She might have been corrupted.’

‘On July 9, the supply ship behind us lost contact. There was no battle, but we couldn’t find them. ’

‘On August 2, the battleship turned autonomously! The psychics carefully checked all the positions and failed to see any abnormalities. Maybe it really came alive. ’

‘On September 7, a riot broke out on a battleship. Some soldiers were corrupted by chaos, robbed the battleship, and attacked us. We fought back and sank them. No survivors were found.’

‘On September 23, the soldiers of three more battleships were corrupted by chaos, and we sank them. ’

‘On September 30, we saw a continent, a steel continent composed of countless ships! We even saw an aircraft carrier! We didn't get close, and prepared to send a team to investigate. ’

‘On October 5, our warship began to retreat at full speed on its own. It really came alive, but we couldn’t escape. Chaos believers appeared in the warship, they took control and crashed into the mainland! ’
