Chapter 837 Outpost

Simple optical invisibility is not difficult, especially since the starships here are all powered by magic, but invisibility does not mean non-existence.

The Swan clearly drove towards the location of the meteorite, but did not hit it at all. It seemed that the meteorite would only appear when approached from a specific angle.

The light from the flare will obviously bend when it gets close to the meteorite, as if the meteorite is out of this world, giving a sense of unreality, as if it is covered by a veil of mystery.

"Here we are, here we are."

Alyssa unbuckled her seat belt and stood up, and said to Shanna who was leaning on the porthole and looking out:

"Hurry up and put on your protective clothing, we're going to explore."

"Explore! Yeah, yeah!"

Shanna was very happy. She stepped hard and floated to a small room on the side of the bridge to change clothes.

After she left, Alyssa said to everyone:
"This is the ruins of the ancient elves. Shanna is likely to have come from here."

Villania was still studying the meteorite. Hearing this, she turned around and said:
"Are we here to take Shanna home?"

"No, we are here to decipher the truth and find out what happened to Shannah."

Father Pro's scholar friend did not write much in his reply.

According to scholars, there are only a few records of the Child of the Star in the ancient elves' documents, saying that she is a priestess who protects the star field from invasion by darkness and possesses sublime power. Without the Child of the Star, those incomprehensible and indescribable existences in the void are likely to corrode the star field and invade.

When the scholar said these words, one could clearly feel that he was lacking energy. He also added at the end, "All of this is just a legend. I cannot guarantee its authenticity. There are too few materials and books on the ancient elves."

But this is actually enough.

Regardless of whether what the scholars said is right or not, at least one thing is certain, the star map displayed on Sana's escape pod is definitely closely related to Sanafia.

The biggest effect of this scholar's letter was that it made Father Pro determined that no matter what Shanna was, he had to find out this time.

So he asked Alyssa to bring Sanafia here. He was worried about letting others come.

Taking out the mask and weapons from behind the captain's seat, Alyssa also took out the boot disk and placed it on her personal terminal.

Li Chengxi can hack into all equipment, and the ruins of the ancient elves have basically been automated, so having him watching over them should be able to help a lot.

"Sophia and An Yun go up with Shana and me. The rest of you stay on the boat to provide support. Keep an eye on the surroundings. I think the fleet that attacked Blackhand Harbor might also be looking for this place."

Let alone the fighting ability of Vilania and Fang Lanyin. One of them can only drive a magic mecha, and the other can't even use a pistol properly. They don't know what is in the ruins, so naturally they have to bring someone who can fight.

As for that fleet...

Just be careful about everything.

The Swan did not land, but turned off all the lights to avoid being too conspicuous.

The Manta Ray sailed out of the Swan's airlock, carrying Alyssa and others and flew towards the ruins.

They found a secluded flat area to land, shot out a grappling hook to prevent the Manta from drifting away, and then took out a camouflage net and covered the Manta, making it look like a stone from a distance.

Then Alyssa and the others approached the ruins with authentic spacewalks. From the outside, the ruins looked like a mountain. There was a square hole not far from where the Manta Ray landed. There used to be a gate here, but it was gone now.

Looking at the marks on the door frame, Sophia said:

"Boss, this looks like it's been blown up."

"Well, it seems that we are not the first group of visitors. Everyone, prepare your weapons. Sana, don't run around. Follow me honestly."

Shanna was lying on Benben's back. This golem actually had the ability to move in the void, and had two small electric propulsion engines in its legs.

Everyone pressed the side of the mask, and the internal lights and the lights on the mask were turned on. Then they lined up in a line and floated into the cave.

This tunnel still shows traces of the ancient elves. Although it looks like a tunnel dug out of stone, the walls and ceiling have been well decorated. The exquisite lines are outlined with gold powder, and the decorative gems inlaid on them are still shining.

If they were just here for adventure, Alyssa would have already started putting gems into her pocket, but the most important thing right now was to find out Shanna's background, so everyone flew forward without even looking at the decorations.

Going further, you can see some places are damaged, like there are traces of explosion. Due to the void environment, it is difficult to judge how long ago they were left.

As more and more traces of explosions or battles appeared, some human-shaped creatures gradually began to appear in front.

When you get closer, you will find that it is actually a void protective suit, and a group of mummies curled up in the protective suit.

Since there are no microorganisms in the void, most of these corpses still retain their appearance when they were alive. The extremely low temperature makes everything solidify at the moment of their death. Although they are called mummies, they are not really shriveled. They are more like frozen meat that has been left here for who knows how many years.

Alyssa was really fierce. She reached out and grabbed a corpse and started to check it.

Exploring ruins is not unfamiliar to Alyssa. It is also one of the main jobs of a recycler. Valuable data and technology are sold to officials, valuable items are sold to collectors as antiques, and some contraband items are sold to grocers.

This set of procedures is very familiar, and it is not uncommon to encounter corpses while exploring. They may be the unlucky ones who came here to explore before, or they may be the original owners of the ruins.

The corpses floating in the passage should belong to the former.

Most of these people are humans, and their bodies have undergone a certain degree of mechanization.

The ancient elves are already semi-energy creatures, without the need for food, drink or excretion. For them, the best way to transform their bodies is through drugs or magic, as mechanical transformation is too ugly.

However, it is impossible to determine how long they have been dead. We can only confirm from the shape of the protective clothing that these people definitely did not die here recently.

Leaving the corpses behind and continuing to float forward, everyone passed through a group of corpses. It was quite scary at first glance, but even Sanafia was not afraid. Instead, she seemed particularly excited, like a child who learned that they were going on a picnic. It was a bit outrageous.

Continuing forward, they soon came to a tightly closed airlock door. An Yun put her hand on the airlock door and closed her eyes.

After a while she said:

"No signs of life were detected in the back, but there was an energy reaction, which should be the membrane airlock."

Alyssa found the door opening panel next to her. The symbols on the panel were all in ancient elven language, but it was not a big problem.

She pulled out a cable, opened the panel cover and plugged it in. As her personal terminal beeped, the airlock door slowly opened.

A light green film first came into view. When everyone passed through it, they suddenly felt their bodies sink and they staggered to the ground.

This damn place actually still maintains artificial gravity.
