Chapter 1467 Opening the Warehouse

People are very sensitive to the stench of corpses, which is a completely different type of stench from rotting food or feces, urine and fart.

In the primitive times, this ability allowed people to avoid danger. The fear gene present in the DNA would be instantly awakened by the bad smell.

But Alyssa and the others are now wearing heavy protective clothing with tight necks and helmets. Logically, even if they fart in the protective clothing, they cannot smell it, let alone the stench outside.

But everyone definitely smelled it, or felt like they smelled it.

This is the smell of death. Its presence is so strong that it cannot be perceived through simple sensory organs. It is like directly ravaging the nerves of mortals, regardless of whether you can smell it or not, or even whether you have a nose or not.

Alyssa motioned for everyone to turn on the lights on their masks, and by the way, she also checked the airtightness of the protective suit, and there was no problem with it.

What she will see next is likely to be something that cannot be explained by common sense, and Alyssa already has a psychological expectation.

"Let's move forward. Get your weapons ready. This place is different from before."

The soldiers swallowed, raised their guns, and coordinated with their teammates to aim at every corner.

When entering the airlock, the first thing that catches your eye is the large number of containers fixed to the ground with steel cables.

After all, it is a cargo ship, so it is natural to have a large number of containers.

However, these containers are not stacked neatly, but scattered, some are high and some are low, and the passages between the containers are not straight. It feels like walking into a maze built of containers.

Of course, normal cargo ships would not stack cargo like this, as it is inconvenient for unloading and for self-inspection.

If the fixing hooks of these containers were not still intact, Alyssa would even begin to suspect that some huge monster had used the containers to build a nest.

The cargo hold is the widest and largest part of a transport ship. The containers are stacked so high that sometimes you have to look up hard to see the top.

The lighting in the cargo hold also seemed a little off. This could be because the cargo hold was a disposable structure and there was a problem with the connection to the energy pipeline inside the hull, or it could be because the reactor had not yet reached normal working condition.

The lights were sometimes on and sometimes off, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker, so everyone mainly relied on the lights on their chests and heads to see things.

This results in the light shining on the container, casting long and thin shadows.

The strong stench of decay had disappeared, or rather it could no longer be smelled due to the protective clothing, but everyone felt as if a stone was pressing on their hearts.

Due to the lack of artificial gravity, everyone could only float forward. It was quiet all around, and the only sounds that could be heard were the subtle mosquito sounds coming from the headphones and the negative energy exceeding standard warning issued by the detector carried by Alyssa.

They carefully moved forward along the gap between the containers for about ten minutes. At this time, Viola saw a glimmer of blue light not far ahead.

The light was so faint that it could only be detected by the naked eye when the lights in the warehouse were turned off and the surroundings were pitch black.

Continuing forward, Lieutenant Cao Wei, who was leading the way, said in a trembling voice:
"Humanoid target found!"

Everyone's nerves were immediately raised. Cao Wei pointed the gun in a certain direction and looked for a while:
“It’s not responding.”

"Try shouting first, if that doesn't work, try firing a gun."

The scanner showed that there was no life on the ship, and what Cao Wei saw might be a corpse.

So Cao Wei did as Alyssa said, turned on the external speaker, shouted twice, and when there was no response, she aimed diagonally upwards and pulled the trigger.

A short laser swept past, and after a short wait, Cao Wei said:
"That should be a corpse." "Don't be careless, the negative energy here is excessive, even a corpse may be resurrected."

The conditions for the formation of undead creatures are simple: sufficient negative energy, no periodic sunlight, and the presence of corpses.

Undead creatures can appear if three conditions are met, and the cabin is obviously a suitable place.

The team continued to move forward, and Alyssa, who was in the middle of the team, only then saw what the human-shaped target Cao Wei was talking about.

It was a man wearing a tattered red robe. He sat on top of three containers, with his head lowered and facing the people coming in sideways.

There were still a few smoking holes on the tattered red robe, probably caused by the laser gun just now.

"Isn't this someone from the Priory of the Glowing Ions?"

Alyssa didn't know them before, she had only heard this name from Li Chengxi, but ever since she dived into the Devil Deep, her memory of this group of people was very deep.

Alyssa took out a handheld scanner and scanned the body diagonally above.

Sure enough, this was already a corpse, and its mechanization rate had already exceeded 60%. This was the standard operation of the Glow Ion Hermitage. Most of them could no longer be considered human.

After all this trouble, this ship belongs to the Priory of the Glowing Ions?
But isn’t it said that the recipient of the goods is the Molybdenum Group?

Is there any connection between these two organizations?
If so, what exactly are they transporting?
A series of question marks popped up in Alyssa’s mind.

Unfortunately, they didn't bring a cutting machine and didn't have the password, so they couldn't open the containers for the time being.

And Alyssa had a strong feeling that continuing to move forward was more important than opening these containers.

Everyone continued to move forward in the direction where they had found the light blue light, being careful and trying not to make any noise.

As the distance got closer, everyone saw more and more bodies appearing in the containers, and even appearing above their heads or in front of them, floating aimlessly in the microgravity environment.

Because the reactor was shut down, although there was still thin air in the cabin, the temperature was extremely low and the bodies had been frozen solid. However, this also prevented them from rotting and they still maintained the same appearance as before death.

Almost all the corpses were covered in red robes, and the mechanization transformation rate exceeded 60%. Alyssa also found holy emblems on the necks of these people, which were exactly the same as those of the Glowing Ion Hermitage.

The cause of their death is even more puzzling.

These people actually turned off their own life support systems and committed suicide.

Simply put, their hearts have been transformed into machines, allowing them to stop beating at their own will.

This way of death is almost painless and will not leave any external injuries. They will lose consciousness in a very short time and eventually fall into eternal sleep.

Why do people choose to commit suicide?
Why are all these people gathered in the warehouse?
What exactly happened to them?
A voice in Alyssa's heart seemed to say, you shouldn't explore these things, go back quickly.

But her mind said, I need to figure this out!
In the end, reason overcame instinct, and Alyssa signaled everyone to move on.

As more and more corpses appeared around and the blue light she had seen before got closer and closer, Alyssa felt that she should be about to find the answer.
