Chapter 1284： The same family (1/2)

Outside the main control room, the surroundings are still quiet, bright lights illuminate the long corridors, and the smoothly running mechanical devices emit a slight low hum from the depths of those ancient walls and floors—the inside and outside of the door seem to be two worlds, Standing outside gives people the feeling that the flashing alarm lights and the non-stop alarm bells in the main control room are fake.

This spacecraft is still running "smoothly" and "normally", even if its core control area has completely collapsed, even if its main control system has not issued any commands at all. It is like a hollow steel body. Every part in its body operates on its own without instructions from superiors. Numerous self-operating components work together to maintain this steel body's navigation-yet drive them to operate like this. The reason is a mystery.

Gawain and his entourage returned to the brightly-lit corridor inside the ship. They hadn’t felt anything when they walked here before, but at this time, facing the bright lights and steady mechanical buzzing all around, everyone felt the same. Unexplained chills rose from all directions. This was the cold touch after accidentally uncovering the truth. They were soberly aware that they were walking in a strange body, and every part of this body was working. Driven by some mysterious force.

These parts may even have "eyes".

"I'm a little nervous... I'm a little nervous again..." Amber murmured, her eyes constantly sweeping around, "I always think this ship can'feel' us..."

"Don't scare yourself," Gawain turned his head and glanced at the nervous half-elf, and walked forward calmly, "Let's get back outside quickly."

A group of people speeded up their steps in the corridor. They swiftly passed through the connecting passage and wide open gates when they came, and it took a short time to pass through the area inside the ship that was slowly explored before. Amber has been on the way. Worried about any accidents, such as a bunch of warning traps, automatic weapons, etc., suddenly appeared in the corridor, but fortunately this accident did not happen. They quickly saw the road leading to the "steel land". The gate, the dark and chaotic "sky" outside the gate gave everyone a feeling that was more reassuring than the brightly lit places inside the spaceship.

Everyone returned to the "Steel Land". Victoria immediately found the photo-taking crystal she had set on a nearby platform. She carefully placed the crystal that might store important information next to her body, and then looked at the backbone of the team. : "Your Majesty, what shall we do next?"

After taking action in the Tower of Upheaval, she knew that her Majesty, who had a legendary experience and knew a lot of mysterious knowledge, could recognize the words of the voyager, and even understood the many uses of these ancient "heritages". Of course, she was also curious about this. But loyalty and trust allowed her to put aside the doubts in her heart and treat all of this as unsurprisingly established facts.

Gao Wen raised his head and glanced, recalling the blurry picture he had seen on the malfunctioning terminal (that could be a navigator?) before, and stepped towards the distance: "Here, I doubt this. The direction is the'docking' area when the spacecraft is docked."

The group immediately followed Gawain's footsteps and walked forward. At this moment, there was another shock from the depths of the giant spaceship, but this time, everyone seemed calmer than before.

The ship is decelerating, and it may also be adjusting its attitude-there seems to be an independent gravity generator on the ship, so that everyone does not feel obvious to these changes in the hull, but one thing is certain, it is doing "docking" Ready.

At this moment, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in the darkness and chaos outside the shield. Mary, who was walking on the outermost side of the team, subconsciously raised her head and gave a soft exclamation: "Ah! Something is coming out of there. Up!"

Gao Wen immediately raised his head and followed Mary’s sight. In the dim darkness, a large-scale structure was gradually emerging—it was a huge polygonal structure with jagged edges. The outline is a bit like a snowflake. Due to the distance and darkness, the details cannot be seen clearly, but the vaguely revealed style is undoubtedly the same as the giant ship under everyone’s feet, in that giant structure. On the surface, you can see the uneven distribution of lights. Those lights illuminate a part of the earth, while the remaining area is completely shrouded in darkness.

In the next second, the giant steel structure that emerged in the darkness began to "sink" slowly toward the edge of the spacecraft, and Gao Wen responded: The spacecraft under his feet was adjusting its posture, and it was sailing toward the huge facility. There is its "home port".

Melita ran a distance to the side, her body was already covered by a light curtain at the same time, she quickly turned into the body of a dragon, and her low and majestic voice came from her mouth: "Everyone, come up, we better hurry up. , This ship may be docked soon-it has a limited stay and the time we can explore is also limited."

Gawain and his entourage quickly climbed up the wide spine of the giant dragon. Merita stirred the giant wings and flew directly on the surface of the ancient spacecraft. She carefully adjusted her posture in the space formed by the shield of the ship. A thrilling height quickly passed many facilities and platforms on the deck, and the edge of the spacecraft was soon faintly visible in the structure.

"What's that?" Kohaku, who was lying on the back of Melita's neck, poked her head and looked down, as if suddenly found something.

Gawain immediately walked over, following the direction of Amber's fingers, he immediately saw the situation underneath, and his brows instantly frowned.

It was an area that everyone had not explored before. It was located on the polygonal, interface-like edge of this ancient spaceship, and on the silver-gray alloy deck... Gawain saw something like plant remains. thing.

Huge branches, withered and twisted vines, huge leaves scattered on the deck, and some small-scale shrubs or flowers and plants that grew tenaciously among the plant debris—the huge plant debris has apparently been dead for a long time. , But the things that stubbornly drilled out of the wreckage were obviously still alive. They were full of greenery and grew wantonly under the light brought by the spacecraft's lighting system.

"...It looks like a very, very, very huge...plant," Melita's voice came from the front, and the dragon's tone inevitably brought a little astonishment, "and it seems that those things are just It's a part of that plant... my incubator, look at the finest branches, each one is like a house beam... I don't think the giant Thorin tree is so big!"

"Looking at the remains of a giant plant, and some small plants growing from the remains..." Gawain was equally astonished in his heart, he whispered to himself, suddenly as if thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Carmel. "I remember you mentioned it before. When you first saw this piece of steel and looked out from a distance, you saw something'hanging' on its edge, right?"

"Yes," Carmel also saw the huge vines and dry leaves below that were approaching. After a little memory, he nodded slightly, "I should have seen these things at the time-but they were far away at the time. , I didn't realize that they were actually...a bunch of dead plants?"
