Chapter 700 - S-800 Space Battleship
Chapter 700: S-800 Space Battleship
“That’s the Terminal, right?”
Six fully armed players who looked like they had just gone through very intense battles slowly crawled out of the exit which was located at the edge of the large plaza.
One Pillar Skyward then pointed the lighting device he was holding towards that area. The light shone over a good 100 meters, from him to the location he was pointing at!
“Yes, that’s the place… No monsters are being detected, no abnormal reactions either!”
Mu Zi stared at the screen which is being projected in the air by his Legendary-Grade scout bracelet. At the same time, he was using his Detection skill to check whether there were any monsters in the area; there was no warning given, indicating that there were no monsters.
“In that case, let’s hurry up and head there!”
Dai was holding a pistol and her tone indicated that she was buzzing with excitement and could not wait to get there.
Throughout their journey, she had already used all the ammunition she had in her inventory, and now, she could only battle using her pistol!
This was the biggest weakness of the Machine Gunner. Even if they were to use an inventory with the biggest space available, it was still impossible to carry a lot of heavy ammunition.
Once they ran out of bullets, the Machine Gunner’s combat strength was substantially reduced!
However, the good thing was that they had finally arrived at their destination.
“Let’s move out!”
Although Mu Zi’s recon meter did not detect any monsters in the vicinity, the group was still very cautious.
They kept looking left and right, refusing to lower their guard as they walked past the plaza.
The main reason they did not let their guard down is due to the fact that the Legendary-Grade recon meter was not 100% accurate. This was evident earlier on; the Level-79 Elite-Grade Centipede that they encountered had anti-detection abilities.
If it weren’t for the reflection caused by light shining on its smooth carapace, the group might have lost more people and its ambush would have succeeded!
After walking past the hundred-meter wide plaza, the group walked towards the Terminal zone expectantly.
However, they could not see any spaceship anywhere in the Terminal zone.
The Terminal zone was surrounded by a 50-meter tall “wall” made of light-reflecting materials, preventing them from being able to clearly see what was inside the Terminal zone!
Despite the existence of this “wall,” the group did not find it odd.
After all, the structural map of the Terminal indicated that a wall surrounded the entire Terminal. It was probably once used to protect the spaceship within!
However, this wall is now a hindrance to them.
The wall completely seals the entire space. After a few experiments, they found that the defense coefficient of the material was remarkable.
Only a white mark appears even when a bullet hits it!
The good thing is that Feng Luo still has a trump card!
“Pa…”
Feng Luo brought out Ghost Weep. The red and black blade was quickly covered in a layer of black “flowing water”!
Then, it sliced through the wall!
“Puff!”
The “wall” made of a thin, transparent material that even a bullet failed to break was instantly sliced through by the Ghost Weep’s blade which looked like it was burning due to the activation of the Destroy Psionic energy property.
However, Feng Luo did not immediately carve out a hole large enough for a person to fit through. Instead, he carved a hole about the size of a head before sheathing the Ghost Weep!
Feng Luo turned around and said to Mu Zi, “Mu Zi, use Detection!”
“Alright!”
Mu Zi did not ask why and simply cast the cooled down Detection skill into the hole.
There were still no warning signals coming from the Legendary-Grade scout bracelet!
Feng Luo unsheathed Ghost Weep again and carved a hole large enough for them to fit through!
All six of them, led by the shield-bearing Rose Thorns and One Pillar Skyward, went through the hole.
By the time the group passed through the “wall” and entered the Terminal, they eagerly used their lighting devices to illuminate the empty area in front of them!
After the area brightened up, they felt ecstatic!
“There… There… There really is one…”
Under the strong beam of light generated by their lighting devices, around a hundred meters away from them, a metallic cylinder with a diameter of at least 20 meters with a complex layered structure – a structure that was similar to a cannon’s barrel – could be seen as its smooth metal reflected the light.
From afar, one could tell that this cannon which far exceeds the size of the main cannon on a military ship, was not the only one around. There were at least ten in a row, stretching to a distance!
In addition to this, they could also vaguely see a structure that resembled a radar dish. Each structure they identified was at least a hundred times larger than the ones they have seen on a military ship. Some of the structures also carried a logo familiar to the group – the logo of the Sam Group!
“Haha! A spaceship! There really is a spaceship!”
“We’re rich!”
One Pillar Skyward almost fainted from excitement.
Even though they could not see the entirety of this thing in front of them due to their limited vision, the gigantic cannons were enough to tell them what it was a spaceship!
One Pillar Skyward only brought in by Mu Zi as an extra.
He never would have imagined they’d find a spaceship here.
Legendary-Grade items, hidden professions…
These things were now waving at him, and it wouldn’t be long before he can get his hands on them!
“Let’s not get overly excited now. In theory, the Sam Group would not have left a spaceship behind. We might only be looking at the weapons of a spaceship.”
Feng Luo was very happy.
He had determined that this place was a “Terminal” that might have a spaceship using the structural map from earlier, the possibility of a spaceship actually still being here was quite low. His original estimates showed that probability was actually less than 1%.
The reason why he wanted to get to the Terminal to check for himself was that it was still possible that a spaceship was there, and secondly, even if there was no spaceship, a launchpad might still be present. As long as it was not destroyed, they could still use it to strike a deal with the NPCs.
However, it looked like the best-case scenario was unfolding!
There really is a spaceship!
However, compared to the others, Feng Luo was still a lot calmer.
“Mu Zi!”
Feng Luo turned around and called Mu Zi.
Due to their limited vision, they were not able to determine that it is indeed a spaceship. To confirm that it is, they would need at least a few dozen minutes.
However, for players, there was actually a faster method to investigate!
“Detection!”
Mu Zi cast Detection on the metallic sideboard right under one of the cannons, a hundred meters away from him.
“S-800 Space Battleship (Damaged).”
The feedback had caused him to become stiff.
It was actually not the normal spaceship that they had expected. Instead, it was something even more valuable, a space battleship!
After Mu Zi revealed this, everyone, including Feng Luo, was stunned.
“What? This is a space battleship?”
The group finally understood why the Terminal was extremely huge and had an area of almost five kilometers.
For a space battleship, this occupied space is not large at all.
In the other underground ruin from before, they had witnessed that the largest mega gigantic battleship was over a hundred kilometers large from the Cerebrate’s memory!
In comparison, this battleship which only occupied five kilometers could at most be considered a large battleship. Who knows, it might even only be a medium-sized space battleship.
It was not possible for an entire terminal to be reserved only for a space battleship. As such, the space battleship’s length was probably less than five kilometers!
However, even if it were a damaged space battleship, its value should be more than that of a common spaceship!
“We’re rich! With this, we’re even richer!”
After a few seconds of being speechless due to the shock, Chairman Jiao, a boss who did not lack money, finally began to mumble a few words.
It was a space battleship! A battleship that was equipped with a weapon system!
“Hurry… Go up there and start recording videos as proof. By the time we get out and reach a place where we can use our communication devices, we can directly report this to the Federation Government!”
“This time, we will be able to get two Legendary-Grade items and a hidden profession to play with!”
Chairman Jiao’s face showed wild excitement. As he spoke, he quickly ran towards the space battleship!
“Chairman Jiao! Don’t be hasty… Be careful! There’s a hole in the ground over there!”
Feng Luo shouted a reminder from behind him.
Indeed, the ground in front of them had holes in them. Since everyone’s attention was focused on the space battleship, no one had noticed them. Well, apart from Feng Luo.
Due to the evolution of his brain domain, his mind was able to process a lot more things at the same time.
As such, he had already noticed a few black holes on the ground between them and the battleship.
He did not know what these holes contained since the closest one was over 20 meters away from them. As such, he could not investigate them yet.
However, from the structural map, they were actually standing on top of a “platform” located in the mid-to-upper section of the spaceship, and the distance between where they were and the bottom of the platform was actually a few hundred meters.
If it were the bottom of the Terminal, the depth could even reach a thousand meters.
Although there were safety measures beneath them, that was from the original design stated in the structural map.
By now, the ruin had already lost all power and control. If one were to fall, it was highly probable that they would fall to their death. As such, Feng Luo quickly shouted a warning.
“Phew… That was close… Too close!”
Cold sweat soaked Chairman Jiao’s face as he stopped right at the edge of one of the holes.
Feng Luo’s reminder was very timely. One more step and he would have fallen in.
“We have no idea how deep this is. The structural map shows that there should be another layer. But if there isn’t, falling in would mean…”
Chairman Jiao muttered subconsciously. At the same time, he pointed his lighting device into the black hole in front of him.
Then…
“F*ck me!”
Chairman Jiao’s eyes widened as he shouted.
