The mind is stronger than things, transcending the ordinary and becoming holy

Chapter 113 112. Port Crisis

Doom Gay is a security officer for United Aerospace Airlines.

According to his household registration, he was not actually a native Martian, but a pure Terran.

He was once a member of the Marine Corps of the Federal North American District, but during a mission, he attacked his commander for disobedience, so he was convicted and expelled from the civil class.

He originally thought that he would live as an ordinary civilian in the outer city slums for the rest of his life, accompanied by gunfights and crime. However, he did not expect that in the darkest moment of his life, United Aerospace Corporation would be grateful to him. With outstanding abilities, he actually extended an olive branch to him and allowed him to become a member of this giant federal company.

The only price was to leave his home planet of Terra, where he had grown up, and come to the Flamenco Province of Mars, where he joined the company's armed security department and became a security guard.

However, he was not responsible for the security of the city like an ordinary security officer. Instead, he was transferred to an interstellar port and watched the people coming and going every day.

Rather than engaging in passionate battles with armed personnel from other companies as imagined, his job was more about handling some auxiliary work at the port, such as verbal disputes between two groups of interstellar merchants, or arresting some stowaways.

Originally, he thought that all this would continue peacefully, but just today, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

It was as if some kind of dusty memory had been opened. There always seemed to be some kind of existence attracting him and calling him, and this feeling was a spacecraft flying down from Phobos. Caused.

"What does this feel like?"

Doom scratched his head. He paced back and forth at his post uneasily, looking at the private parking room from time to time. His eyes under the helmet showed a puzzled look.

He could vaguely feel that when the spaceship in the parking room was docked at the port, all the cells in his body seemed to be burning. It seemed that he had encountered something extremely familiar, and this thing carried a fatal danger... …

But the key point is that he can be sure that he has never felt the existence of such a thing in his life.

Somehow, it felt like a gift from heaven.

But just when he was confused, suddenly, an engineer walked into the shutdown room, and then walked out cursing.

In the past few years, he had been hanging out in the port. Although he was somewhat silent due to his personality, he still recognized his colleague in this company. His name was Bauer, but he did not work in his own armed forces department, but in the engineering department.

He subconsciously walked forward, wanting to ask something, but then suddenly stopped.

What are you asking? Is there anything unusual about the returning spacecraft?

He will definitely be regarded as an idiot...

It will definitely happen...

Doom, who was a little scared, shook his head and laughed, then turned around and ignored it.

Soon, it was time for the rotation. A colleague, also wearing a combat uniform, came over with a gun and patted him on the shoulder. "Dum, go down and rest. Leave this to me."

This battle suit is not so much a battle suit as it is a kind of exoskeleton armor. The whole body is made of ceramic steel and is painted in dark green camouflage. Even the head is wrapped tightly, except for the hand in the hand. In addition to the pulse rifle, there is also a shoulder cannon on the shoulder, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

There is an armed squad of ten people stationed at Flamenco Port all year round, and he is a member of this squad.

"Okay, Louis."

At this time, Doom nodded. He took one last look at the parking room, then turned and returned to the port, returning to his dormitory along the staff passage.

The dormitory he is in is a standard room of 50 square meters, with one living room, one bedroom and one bathroom. However, his room is very simple and does not have any complicated furniture. It can only be seen from the entire wall of bookshelves in the corner of the living room. This room comes according to the owner's preference.

After returning to his dormitory, Doom first took off his helmet, took out a few slices of green vegetables from the refrigerator, and went to the iron cage in the corner of the living room. In this cage was lying a furry animal that was so fat that it was almost difficult to move. A pink creature with only a pair of long ears swaying constantly.

Obviously, this is a pet rabbit, a mutant species unique to Mars.

Stuffing the green vegetables in his hand into the cage, Doom teased the fat guy, then sat aside and picked up an unfinished book. If there was a second person in his room at this time, he would It can be seen that there are several large characters on the cover of the book in his hand.

"The Bodyguard of the Company's Daughter".

In this era, there are very few people who like to read paper books, and Doom happens to be one of them. In his opinion, only paper books can make him addicted to them. The feeling is completely unmatched by electronic books.

It's just that for some reason today, he was never in the mood, and the originally enjoyable plot of this book could not be brought into the story.

There always seemed to be something attracting him, causing him to turn his attention away, and as time passed, this feeling became stronger.

Just when Doom was a little irritable, suddenly the voice of the team leader came from the communicator.

"Everyone is fully armed and must gather at the port immediately. We are in trouble, hurry up!"

Hearing the voice coming from the communicator, Doom's expression changed, and he immediately put on his helmet skillfully, rushed out of the room, and ran towards the position where he had been standing guard.

He knew his captain. If it weren't for an extremely urgent situation, the other party would not easily say that he was in trouble. It was obvious that an extremely serious accident had occurred.

However, when he rushed to the docking port, he immediately saw many personnel from the Engineering Department and dozens of fully armed bionic soldiers.

"Boss, what happened?"

Doom stepped forward, looked at the people gathered in a circle, and asked immediately.

"It's Louis. Louis just shot Lao Jin."

The captain's voice was a little gloomy. He looked down at the ground, and Doom followed his gaze. Only then did he see a fallen figure faintly emerging from the crowd surrounded by many people from the engineering department.

Doom's heart tightened. He immediately pushed aside the crowd and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw the engineering department employee named Lao Jin. At this time, the man was lying on the ground, and his whole body was shot several times with a pulse rifle. The wound, the chest did not rise and fall at all, it was already dead and could no longer die.

"Is this blood?"

Doom felt a little strange. He squatted down and touched the black blood through the combat uniform. Blood of this color seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

"Your armed security department attacked the personnel of our engineering department. What happened?"

In the crowd, a man dressed as a supervisor couldn't help but asked sharply, "You need to give us an explanation!"

"I will give you an explanation for this matter, but the first step is to find Lewis first."

The captain also walked behind Doum, "Dum, you were on guard in the previous shift, right? When Louis replaced you, did you notice anything unusual?"

"No."

Doom immediately shook his head, "It was normal when Louis replaced me. It was really Louis who attacked Lao Jin. Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

The supervisor of the other party said coldly, "How can there be any misunderstanding? Could it be that Lao Jin took the initiative to attack him? We don't have weapons!"

"But look."

Doom dipped some of the blood on the ground, "Didn't you notice that the color of the blood is abnormal? Also, why was Lao Jin at the position where we were on duty when he died? Logically speaking, no one is allowed to get close to him when he was on duty. That's right, and there are no traces of dragging around here, I think we can check the surveillance."

"The surveillance is broken."

The captain immediately said, "For some reason, the surveillance camera could only see Lao Jin walking out of the shutdown room and walking towards Louis. However, as he was walking, the surveillance camera suddenly turned into a field of snowflakes, and the picture was completely lost until There is no recovery now.”

"What about Louis?"

Doom immediately asked, "What happened at that time? Won't we know if we find him?"

"Louis...is missing."

The captain was silent for a moment and said again.

"What do you mean missing?"

The other supervisor shouted quickly, "You are trying to protect your team members, are you?"

"it is true."

The captain's voice was a little dry, "I'm asking the port's artificial intelligence to search for Louis. However, many surveillance systems have suddenly failed and it is difficult to find Louis' whereabouts."

"I do not believe!"

The other supervisor insisted that the captain was shielding Lewis. He raised his wrist and said, "I will definitely report this matter to my superiors. Our team members cannot die inexplicably!"

However, before he could send the information out, the lights in the entire dome suddenly went out, and in an instant, the entire port fell into darkness!

Everyone was startled and looked up subconsciously.

"team leader?"

Doom looked in the direction of the captain, "What's going on? Why did the lights at the port suddenly turn off?"

"I do not know."

The captain also looked surprised. He raised his wrist and said to it, "Call the command center, what's going on over there?"

The chip on his wrist was completely silent, and no sound came from it.

"Call the command center, why did the port suddenly lose power?"

The captain asked anxiously again, but there was still silence on the chip. No matter how he asked, there was still no reply.

"Oops, something really went wrong..."

Doom's heart sank, and he immediately realized that this matter was not simple. First, his teammate Louis shot and killed someone from the engineering department, and now the entire port fell into a power outage. No matter how he saw it, there was something... Unusual taste.

Thinking of this, he looked again at the downtime room where he had felt an inexplicable feeling before, but he suddenly discovered that the downtime room no longer had that feeling, as if... the things in the downtime room were now Already escaped.

It seems... Lao Jin repaired the spacecraft in that parking room before?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Doom's mind, but it was just a guess after all, and he did not choose to speak out his guess.

"The armed security team obeys the order and everyone enters the first level alert state. We will go to the command center immediately!"

At this moment, the captain suddenly issued an order.

"Wait, you all go to the command center, then who is going to protect us?"

The director of the engineering department couldn't help but ask.

"You suspect that our people killed your employees, why do you still need us to protect them?"

The captain asked coldly, then ignored the ugly faces of everyone in the engineering department and rushed towards the command center with Doom and all the team members.

The command center is located at the top of the port tower. Everyone needs to go directly to the 30th floor. It used to be okay when there was an elevator, but at this time, the entire port was without power, so they had to take the stairs.

The darkness along the way could not stop the team. The combat uniforms worn by everyone were equipped with night vision systems, coupled with the assistance of exoskeletons, and everyone had prosthetics or genetic enhancements, it was not difficult to climb this level. .

Everyone remained silent along the way, with only the sound of running and heavy breathing coming continuously. However, as they went higher, Doom gradually felt the mysterious calling again.

Yes, that's the feeling...

Doom's heart tightened. This feeling was full of ominousness and was incompatible with this world. It was like a call from another world. It was an aura of destruction and end.

But now, this aura is calling me?

As they gradually approached the top of the tower and the command center, everyone smelled a strong smell of blood.

Everyone looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes, and then subconsciously turned on the safety of the firearm and lowered their steps.

"One group stays where you are, and the second group comes with me!"

The captain gritted his teeth and rushed forward first, followed closely by Doom and the others. As they reached the top floor, they saw that the compartment at the top of the stairs was covered in blood at some point!

Boom!

The captain kicked open the compartment door and rushed in quickly, but the next second, everyone was shocked by what they saw!

The top-level command center that was supposed to be extremely bright was already dark at this time, but in the darkness was blood all over the ground. The blood soaked the ground, and in the huge room, more than a dozen corpses were lying quietly on the ground. .

These corpses seemed to have gone through a long period of time. Their whole bodies had already been highly decomposed, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the bottom of each body. But the strange thing was that none of the corpses had any scars on them.

It's Louis!

Suddenly, Doom used his night vision equipment to immediately see Louis' body not far away. He immediately stepped forward to turn Louis over, and then opened the other person's helmet, only to see that Louis' face was blank, but regardless of Be it the eyes, nose or mouth, there were traces of a large amount of blood flowing out.

Even the blood had already filled the helmet. When the helmet was opened, the blood immediately flowed out and merged with the blood on the floor.

No, no, this blood is actually black too!

It was only then that Doom suddenly realized that because of the night vision goggles, he had previously thought that all the blood left on the ground was blood, but only then did he realize that the blood was the same as that of Lao Jin who died at the port. All blood is turned black...

"how so?"

The captain also stepped forward. He looked at Louis' body and was shocked. "If Louis is dead, then who...who killed the entire command center?"

"Perhaps, the other party is not a human being."

Recalling all the previous details, Doom suddenly spoke out.
