The fear of demons on the road was solved, and the team continued to move in the direction of the command deck.

Strategic data show that they are located above the belly of the ship, about the second deck, close to the bridge.

Along the way, they saw the remains of many machine servants, skinny and wrapped in rags, and their whip scarred bodies told their past experiences.

But now they are just cold bodies.

In the process of advancing towards the bow, they did not meet any opponents, and went straight to the central passage through most of the ships.

At the same time, soshyan noticed a lot of movement on the upper floor of the main corridor.

Something poured into the corridor and mezzanine like a flood, which made him alert. The footsteps sounded like the slap of a child's bare feet on the ground, and disappeared towards the stern with the thump, away from the command bridge - soshyan guessed that they could be away from something.

"The bird divination instrument maximizes the scanning intensity. If there is anything close, kill it, whether it is the target or not."

They continued to advance, and the searchlights on the armor shone bright beams, penetrating the darkness in the gloomy belly of the ship.

Thanks to sol's many years of experience in the life of abandoned ships, they did not deviate from the route, but in the process, the star soldiers carefully inspected some adjacent cabins - mostly utility rooms, warehouses and dormitories, and found a lot of rotten debris and graffiti.

The cables connecting several halls and aisles are exposed, the lighting equipment is damaged, the deck is rusted and aging, and the bulkhead paint in many places has peeled off to the point where only bare metal and plastic steel are left.

This also represents a signal that the ship is not always in a state of time stagnation. It may appear in physical space more than once.

Soshyan checked the high-precision timer.

28 minutes have passed since they boarded the ship.

"According to the scanning results, if we want to go to the bridge at the fastest speed, there is an elevator about 100 meters ahead."

Sol's voice sounded on the communication channel.

"No."

Soshyan replied:

"I can't trust the elevator or anything else in this state."

"Then let's take the stairs."

The stairwell is made of strong reinforced concrete and reinforced with steel mesh, strong enough to bear the weight of the Terminator - from this detail, soshyan vaguely guessed that it might be an astat warship.

Soon they climbed two flights of stairs leading to the overhead deck.

"No personnel or force gathered, only the lowest reading."

"Minimum reading? What do you mean?"

"Only the background energy signal of the ship itself, or even that the bridge is not running, should have some kind of target signal on such a scale - communication operation, energy network, or vital signs of the aircraft servant. Only the background noise of the spacecraft system."

"Everyone concentrate and may encounter the enemy."

Soshyan sensed a danger in the silence of the bird divination instrument.

"Sol, you continue to watch the bird divination instrument. As soon as there is any sharp increase in the value, anything that looks like a reactor surge, and any decline in the quality of beacons, you will directly report the direction."

"Received."

The stairwell was dark and the steps were stained, and a brief olfactory analysis confirmed the existence of dried blood.

"Look here."

Veteran Mark said, pointing to a row of deep bullet holes on the surface of the plaster wall.

"It's the impact of a bomb."

"They were also attacked."

Suddenly, the helmet sensor flashed to sense the new energy. In a flash, soshyan heard the sound of boots above the stairs.

In a breathing room, metal rings rang back from the wall, and their source was several grenades jumping into the stairs from the upper platform.

"Fragment bomb impact!!"

Soshyan recognized the pattern of the grenade. He quickly stepped back two steps along the steps. At the same time, two soul drinkers veterans with jump shield rushed forward behind him.

Then the grenade burst with three loud noises, and the narrow space suddenly amplified the noise.

Flames and shrapnel engulfed the stairs, and the explosion scratched and burned the black paint and gold plating on the jump shield, but did not cause any actual damage to the thick ceramic steel.

"Kovani, go up!"

Soshyan did his best to move aside and turn around so that the soldier equipped with a heavy flame launcher could walk over the steps.

Kovani reached the turntable of the stairs, raised his weapon and spewed a burst of deflagration promethium around the corner, and the fire wave filled the farther space.

Then soshyan stepped into the still burning residue, and his armor was enough to protect him from the heat.

Through the smoke, he saw two soul drinkers, one of whom slapped a layer of burning promethium on the other's backpack.

He rushed out of the fire at full speed, and the bomb gun on his left hand began to roar.

The soul drinker closest to him had only half time to turn around, and the bomb hit the side of his helmet and penetrated the eyepiece.

The pottery steel and skull were separated and broken in the flickering light of fire, and scattered and resolved under the strong destructive effect of the bomb.

Then soshyan struck a sword.

The second traitor dodged the next blow and raised his blaster gun to soshyan's chest to shoot, but the other party hit him directly.

Soshyan stumbled with the traitor's fall, and the other party's arms were distorted under his heavy pressure.

He got up quickly, stepped on the traitor's arm for the second time, crushed his elbow on the edge of hardened cement, and cut off the forelimb irregularly.

Soshyan turned around and crushed the rest of the soul drinker's arm until it was ground into sharp scraps of pottery steel and rotten meat, leading to a series of elongated howls of pain.

"This is the price of betrayal!"

He knelt down on one knee and pierced the traitor's lens with Shengyan sword.

When the sharp point of the sword pierced the back of the soul drinker's head and nailed into the steps, the sparks scattered like embers in the breeze.

The team regrouped on the next landing, just one floor below the bridge entrance.

But there were no noteworthy new readings in the command room.

"No matter what target you see, kill it!"

As they reached the last step, soshyan said to the soul drinkers.

"It's all for gorgri."

He worried that these people were afraid of their former comrades in arms.

The stairs led them to a 10 meter wide approach road, about 30 meters away from the bridge entrance.

The bridge gate was closed, and a huge armor had been removed and lay across the porch.

"It may take some time."

Soshyan went forward and raised his holy Yan sword meaningfully.

He came a few steps away from the door, followed by others, when a hydraulic hiss sounded at the other end of the corridor.

The transmission device rumbled in the depths of the wall, the gate opened slowly upward, and a hell like blurred red light leaked from the inner abdomen of the main bridge.

The crimson fog billowed around the soldiers, and the contact shown on its sensor was only bone chilling cold.

They stood looking at the open door, and the weapons were on standby.

But no enemy appeared, and the sensors did not detect any movement in the bridge.

"Should we just go in like this?"

Soshyan moved forward, determined not to show any fear.

"Let's finish all this."
