Outside the bridge.
The gate was tightly closed, and there were dents and scratches on the gate, as well as blood stains and minced meat. However, the main structure was still in good condition, indicating that the bridge had not collapsed.
So Leon asked the elite and the two groups of living dead to be alert to the rear, while he used the terminal on the right bulkhead and used his highest authority to successfully unlock the closed gate.
"Click...squeak..."
With a burst of frustration and harsh metal chirping, the gates slowly opened to both sides, and all the "living people" in the bridge were nervously pointing their guns at Lyon and the others.
However, when a young agent saw Leon's face clearly, he quickly put down his gun and said excitedly: "Sir! It's sir! Sir is still alive!"
"Director Kennedy?!"
"We are saved!"
At this time, everyone in the bridge finally lowered their guns to avoid accidental injuries.

Leon also nodded lightly to everyone in the bridge, and then asked all the living dead and the elite to evacuate to the bridge. Finally, the gate was closed again, temporarily blocking the threat of aberrations.
"Boom!" With a sound, the gate was completely sealed.
Standing in front of the gate, Leon hung the laser micro-ram on his chest, scanning and counting the surviving personnel in the bridge.
A rough count showed that there were at least a hundred people surviving, most of them were crew members on duty, some hunter soldiers wearing simple protective gear, and two researchers wearing white coats, but their white coats were covered with dried blood stains. .
After counting, Leon's mood was confused again because there was no red figure in the bridge.
But now he is the backbone of everyone, so he did not and could not show any uneasiness. Instead, he walked to the center console extremely calmly and said to the highest-ranking first officer: "Reporting the situation, I need to know what happened to the Eudora." what happened."
"Yes." The first mate followed Leon and walked to the center console together. Then he operated the center console to bring up the holographic screen and prepared to play the corresponding surveillance video for Lyon while making a report:
"Sir, about thirteen hours ago, a violent psychic shock erupted from the cargo hold of the Eudora. After that, nearly 95% of the crew members and soldiers who suffered the psychic shock suffered varying degrees of mental illness. Abnormality, sir, please take a look.”
The first mate said, and the holographic screen displayed in front of Leon began to play the situation of the explosion in the cargo hold seven hours ago.
In the cargo hold, the Trackers and Tyrants standing in the corner were motionless and vigilant, while a team of four Hunter soldiers equipped with power armor were patrolling slowly.
Suddenly, among all the containers and sealed boxes, the one that was the largest and the one that Ada was afraid of actually had scarlet light overflowing through the gap.
This movement instantly attracted the attention of the trackers, tyrants, and hunter soldiers.
But then, the scarlet light turned into a spiritual impact with real offensive power. Then, this psychic impact immediately overturned the trackers and quickly radiated to the entire Eudora.
At this time, the surveillance video zoomed in on a pair of unconscious soldiers, as if to observe the condition of the soldiers.
But as soon as the field of vision was narrowed, the four soldiers who fell to the ground couldn't stop twitching. The bone-like tissue was deformed, proliferated, and still stained with blood. It pierced the power armor "from the inside out" and was exposed to the air. , and then, the soldiers stood up unsteadily and looked around "confusedly".
After observing such a scene, the surveillance video quickly adjusted back to the original view to overlook the entire cargo hold.
It turned out that in just a few seconds, the hunter soldiers who were responsible for patrolling the cargo bay were all affected by the psychic impact, and all suffered irreversible distortions.
On the other hand, the trackers and tyrants did not undergo any changes due to the psychic impact. However, it was precisely because of this that all the deformed soldiers regarded the trackers as hostile targets.
In an instant, the hunter soldiers who were originally the most elite and determined, and who specialized in hunting demons from other spaces, were reduced to unconscious aberrations, attacking the trackers and tyrants who belonged to their colleagues.
In the face of this kind of melee offensive, the trackers and tyrants can almost completely crush them. Although the aberration soldiers have the power increase of power armor, they cannot pose an effective threat in numbers.
But…
Surveillance footage captured more and more aberrations pouring into the cargo hold from other cabins, quickly forming a "bloody ocean" that desperately wanted to engulf the trackers and others.
At this moment, the container seemed to regard the tracker who had been standing for a long time and had the highest "output" and "crit" as a threat, and then burst out a small burst of psychic energy again.
"Roar!!!"
The tracker, who was suffering from psychic suppression, raised his head and roared with rage, but his anger could not help him escape from the psychic suppression. In the end, hundreds of aberrations swallowed him up and he was never seen again.
The surveillance was plunged into darkness due to psychic powers. Since then, the bridge has completely lost "control" of the cargo bay.
After watching this video, Leon's already gloomy face became more solemn.
Tracker...
Although it is a "personal" biological weapon, the tracker is also the "veteran" of Umbrella and the "mascot" of Umbrella and their supervision department. After all, the tracker can overcome and survive no matter how difficult the environment is. Fight with D-1999 through the hell plane.
He never thought that the tracker would "die" so easily and simply, which made Leon feel sad.
"Sir." The first mate did not wait for Leon to continue asking, and continued to report: "After that, we lost the steering rights of the Eudora, and the jump navigation was blocked by a psychic position. Pulled into a cosmic realm that is suspected of being an alien space.
Due to the sudden incident and the fact that we lost contact with you, the commander, Deputy Director Wang and the captain, we had no choice but to block the bridge after accepting enough survivors to prevent the Eudora from completely falling. situation. "
"You did a good job." Leon affirmed, then he operated the center console, called up the Eudora's blueprint, and said:
"However, according to your narrative, the number of survivors on the Eudora, which has 40,000 people, will be less than 2,000, or even less."
"Ouch~! Indeed." The elite who broke out of the siege said "Ouch" and echoed slightly sadly: "I fought out of the training cabin. Alas... many comrades have turned into monsters, so I have to If I don’t kill them, I will be the only one left in the end.”
"Director Kennedy..." Another crew member said worriedly: "What should we do?"
"Don't panic." Leon turned to the two researchers on the side and asked, "What do you think of the aberrations that are ravaging the Eudora?"
Hearing this, the two researchers looked at each other, and then an older researcher said to Lyon: "Director Kennedy, we don't have enough biological samples now, and we don't have the experimental conditions to conduct research.
But according to our observations, aberrations should not be demons in the traditional sense, but more like the result of mutations caused by people receiving certain signal cues and stimulating nerves. "
"Mutation?" Leon said solemnly.
"That's right." The older researcher nodded: "Vaccines can help us resist the corruption of alien space and chaotic spiritual energy, but if we bypass the vaccine and directly attack our brains, it is possible to cause the current situation. And the vaccine has not expired, otherwise we would have lost consciousness in a different space and become the playthings of evil gods and demons."
"Um."
Everyone at the scene agreed with the researcher's analysis.
After getting a relatively reliable guess from the researcher, Leon faced the first officer again and asked: "Can you directly open the jump entrance and take us out of here?"
"No, sir." The first mate explained helplessly: "The bridge has also lost control of the conventional, jump and jump engines. The Eudora is currently in the conventional cruising mode in this area. Navigating in the universe of different spaces.”
"Then do it manually."
Seeing everyone looking sad, the straight-tempered elite couldn't bear it anymore and immediately provided a suggestion that he thought was extremely "reliable".
“…”
But this suggestion attracted everyone's attention. Even though no one spoke, Ke Wei's expression and eyes revealed the meaning of "Are you crazy?"
"Am I wrong?" Elite was confused.
"Ahem." The first mate cleared his throat, first looked at the number, rank and name on the elite's left breastplate, and then explained to him:
"Sergeant Vasso, the engine room is located at the end of the battleship. If you want to get to the engine room, you must pass through the belly area where the cargo hold is located. You can only get around it by walking out of the cabin. You can rush out of the cabin in a different space. …”
The first mate did not continue to say to go first, but everyone knew it well. Even Sergeant Vasso knew very well that the result of actively exposing oneself in a different space was tantamount to suicide.
However, Vasuo still shrugged and insisted on his proposal: "So what? Isn't it just a matter of killing him?"
With that said, Vaso raised his hand and pointed at the living dead who remained standing still, and continued: "I, plus the group of silent warriors, should be able to kill through the siege of the aberrations, and! I am a hunter unit As members, we are the only ones who hunt others, how can there be any reason for others to block us??”
"The sergeant is right." Leon took over the words: "In this situation, the only way is to break out of the encirclement and go to the engine room, otherwise, the only end that awaits us is death."
"But sir..." the first officer quickly dissuaded him: "There are tens of thousands of colleagues and comrades in the Eudora who have been turned into aberrations. No matter how brave Sergeant Vasso and the living dead are, they will never be able to break through the encirclement. "
"I know." Leon did not deny it, but he enlarged the holographic blueprint of the Eudora, marked a route in red, and then said to the first mate:
"A frontal breakthrough is indeed a dead end. The outside of the bridge must have been blocked. However, if we use the ventilation channel under the bridge to bypass the cargo hold, we can minimize the chance of a head-on exchange of fire with the aberrant body. risk.
Besides..." Leon glanced at everyone present and said in a very calm tone: "Don't forget that we are the Supervision Department. As Sergeant Vasseau said, we are the only ones who hunt others. "
"This is the spirit! Sir!" Wasuo was the first to respond with a salute.
The rest of the people also saluted one after another: "Yes! Sir!"
"Very good." Leon took the laser microscope again and began to order everyone.
Next, Leon will personally lead the team, leading Sergeant Vasso, eight living dead in good condition, and six hunter soldiers, forming a raid team of sixteen people in total.
On the bridge side, the injured living dead and three hunter soldiers were left. The first officer commanded the crew to try to repair the communications, waiting for Lyon and the others to succeed, and let the Eudora escape back to the first place in the physical universe. time to seek support.

…
Shortly after.
In a narrow, dark ventilation duct.
Lyon and the others were divided into four groups. Groups b and c at the front and last were still the eight living dead with the strongest overall quality. Groups a and d of Lyon and Vasso were in the center.
As they walk slowly forward, they will also encounter "intersections" of regular passages, and a row of grid-like ventilation fans will be installed at the intersection. Through the gaps, they can see the corridors or various cabins under the pipes.
And below…
Except for the sickle monster, which is an aberration, no living person has been found at all.
Nearly thirty minutes later, the group arrived directly above the cargo hold. When Leon passed by the ventilation fan at the intersection and slowed down to observe, he saw that the cargo hold that should have been clean and tidy had now become a "purgatory of flesh and blood." .
The decks and bulkheads were stained red with blood, and were covered with numerous tumor-like, translucent flesh tissues. The source of everything, the largest container, was long gone, replaced by a black "stone monument."
Its main body seems to have two conical structures intertwined and spiraling with each other, and it looks like the outer wall of a rock is also engraved with unknown characters that emit red light.
Of course, there are also densely packed aberrations gathered in the cargo hold. It seems that they have built a lair here.
Furthermore, Leon also discovered that unconscious researchers, ground crews, agents, and hunter soldiers were lying next to those sarcoid-like tissues.
At this moment, the sarcoma collectively opened a gap, stretched out slender tentacles that made people feel numb and disgusted, and randomly wrapped around the comatose people and dragged them into the "belly".
Leon, who was used to seeing such scenes, kept his expression unchanged and his heart not beating. However, when he discovered that among the unconscious crowd was Ada, who always liked to dress up in cheongsam, his expression froze.
Fortunately, the sarcoma seemed to only "eat" one person at a time, so Ada was lucky enough to escape.
But what about next time?
How long is the activity gap of sarcoma?
Leon completed his thoughts in a very short period of time. Finally, he gestured for everyone to continue rushing to the engine room and return the Eudora to the physical universe as soon as possible.
As for rescuing Ada…
Leon was more heartbroken and anxious than anyone else. He had the urge to jump right now, but he restrained himself. After all, the only result of his doing so was that instead of being able to save Ada, he would lose his life in vain.
