Chapter 265: Chapter 265 City (One More Update)

Moments later, Captain Wang Sheng led the third squadron personnel and flew to the entrance of Gate H1.

The ash-gray slanted door was tightly shut.

Captain Wang Sheng immediately controlled the Green Wing Mecha to lower the Beam Cannon and addressed everyone.

"Focus fire, breach the entrance door!"

"Understood!"

Su Ming and the others each controlled their mechas to lower the barrel and violently shot at the sealed entrance!

Boom boom boom~

Under the fierce attack, the entrance was violently blasted open.

"Go!"

Captain Wang Sheng took the lead, controlling the Green Wing Mecha to fly in.

Mia followed immediately with Su Ming and others.

Soon, everyone entered the pitch-black entrance passage, and Captain Wang Sheng issued orders on the communication channel.

"Turn on all searchlights!"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded and turned on the mecha’s searchlights, illuminating the dark entrance passage.

Su Ming vigilantly looked around.

The elongated entrance passage was eerily empty, with all the lighting devices on the ceiling turned off, and only emergency lights at the base of the walls were on. Also, because there was no gravity covering this area, everything was floating.

Su Ming also noticed a thin layer of frost covering the pipes on the ceiling.

"There’s no gravity coverage here, everyone maintain a certain distance and watch out for floating objects."

Captain Wang Sheng led the team further in while reminding everyone.

"Yes!"

Su Ming and others nervously responded.

They soon arrived at the first cross junction. Wang Sheng checked the map of the Nautilus and then issued orders.

"Ang Yue, Zhao Wen, each of you lead a small team to explore both sides. Check for any survivors; if none, retreat and catch up with the main force!"

"Understood!"

The two squad leaders, Ang Yue and Zhao Wen, solemnly responded, then left with their subordinates.

"We’ll continue to move forward, just follow this main passage, and we’ll be able to reach the central living area."

Wang Sheng said to everyone.

"Understood!"

Mia and the others responded.

Everyone advanced further inside, and the entire passage was eerily silent, and they couldn’t see any traces or figures along the way, which was very oppressive.

Just then, a slight strange sound came from the passage.

"What was that sound?"

Captain Wang Sheng sharply inquired.

Instantly, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly raised their weapons, turning their heads to search for the enemy.

Unfortunately, everything in the passage was normal; they couldn’t see any enemies or anything out of the ordinary, and the scanners also showed no abnormalities.

"Captain Wang Sheng? Did you detect something unusual?"

Alfam solemnly asked.

Captain Wang Sheng once again turned the sensor to maximum, carefully listened, and his expression changed as he spoke.

"It might have been my mistake, let’s keep moving forward."

"Alright!"

Alfam and others didn’t say anything else.

"Phew, that scared me to death, I thought we were ambushed, turned out to be a false alarm."

Zhang Yi, still frightened, said in the squad channel.

"Don’t let your guard down, this time was a false alarm, but next time it might not be."

Su Ming calmly reminded Zhang Yi.

"Okay."

Zhang Yi swallowed hard, struggling to reply.

"Su Ming is right, absolutely do not let your guard down. And follow me closely, do not break formation or act recklessly without my orders. This is not a joke; if you die, I can only collect your bodies,"

Mia emphatically added.

"Understood!"

Rhein and the others felt even more pressure.

However, fortunately, the subsequent exploration went very smoothly, and they didn’t encounter any monsters, arriving at the end of the main passage without any trouble.

A giant gate, fifty meters high and made of thick gray metal, came into view.

Zzz~

Captain Wang Sheng, controlling the Green Wing Mecha, raised the two Beam Sabers and charged forward, striking fiercely at the gate.

Accompanied by the scattering of light particles, two shallow cuts were made in the thick gate.

"Is it this sturdy?"

Wang Sheng watched the scene, his heart also sinking.

However, just then, Alfam spoke up on the communication channel.

"Captain Wang Sheng, let me try!"

"Okay!"

Wang Sheng didn’t say much.

Alfam, controlling the Green Wing Mecha, stepped forward and took out four Directional Bombs, skillfully installing them at the four corners of the gate.

Seeing this, everyone quickly stepped back.

Alfam also retreated and activated the Directional Bombs!

Boom!

With a massive explosion, the thick metal gate was cleverly blown open.

"Good job!"

Captain Wang Sheng led the group forward.

As they passed through the gate and entered the interior, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

The entire view opened up to reveal a circular city, with buildings towering within, some even reaching over thirty stories.

However, the entire city was deadly quiet, with no lights visible and countless objects floating in mid-air.

The top of the city was filled with garbage and debris.

"Oh my god, it’s actually a city!"

"This Mother Ship harbors an entire city, it must be worth a fortune!"

...

Many students exclaimed in wonder.

Though all were Level 4 Mother Ships, a ship this size, capable of accommodating a city, was incredibly expensive.

However, Captain Wang Sheng, Mia, and others looked at the silent city, their faces very grim.

This was completely beyond their expectations, as they had thought this was a militarized fortress Mother Ship, but it turned out to be a residential-type fortress Mother Ship.

Just then, a girl named Bonnie from Class Three accidentally turned her mecha around, and the Blast Mechanical Gun in her hand touched a floating object.

She looked carefully, her pupils dilated with horror as she yelled.

"Look!"

Su Ming and the others were startled and looked over.

"What happened?"

"Dead, dead people..."

Bonnie said somewhat frantically.

Su Ming and the others took a closer look and immediately saw the floating corpse, a middle-aged man in a white T-shirt covered in frost.

But that wasn’t the important part. It was not just an ordinary corpse that caused Bonnie such terror, mainly because the face of the corpse, after being touched by the Blast Mechanical Gun.

The face of the corpse had broken open, revealing a large hole with the inside completely hollow, devoid of any flesh or tissue.

Mia stepped forward and took a closer examination, saying calmly.

"The inside of the corpse has been hollowed out, leaving just the skin. It’s very much like it’s been sucked dry or parasitized by Chilami."

"This is trouble."

Captain Wang Sheng replied grimly.

"Wait, those floating things ahead, could they all be corpses?"

Rhein suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in shock.

"What do you think?"

Su Ming replied calmly.

He entered a series of commands, adjusted the optical equipment, and captured and enlarged the images of the city’s floating objects in mid-air.

As expected, apart from debris, what floated in the air were all hollowed-out corpses.

"Fuck, how many people died?"

Zhang Yi asked with difficulty, swallowing hard.
