Chapter 367 Clouds, Fog, and an Astonishing Discovery
The small warship slowly entered the cloud. Lin Yu gripped the control stick tightly, his eyes fixed on the front, his nerves taut. Thick fog filled the cloud, reducing visibility to almost nothing, making the warship's lights appear extremely dim. Various instruments were severely interfered with, emitting sharp alarms, and the data on the screens was a chaotic, dizzying mess.
"Everyone stay alert and be ready to respond to any emergencies," Lin Yu said in a low voice over the communication channel, his voice tinged with tension but mostly with determination. The team members responded, gripping their weapons tightly and scanning their surroundings warily.
The warship struggled to move forward through the clouds when suddenly, a huge dark shadow appeared ahead. Lin Yu was startled and immediately slowed down, cautiously approaching. As they drew closer, they could make out the outline of the shadow—it was a massive, abandoned warship.
"How...how can there be an abandoned warship here?" one of the team members said in surprise.
Lin Yu frowned, his mind filled with doubt: "Don't get close yet, scan the warship's situation first."
Technicians quickly operated the equipment to scan the abandoned warship. However, the scan results puzzled them even more. The warship's energy response was almost zero, suggesting it had been abandoned for a long time, but strangely, its exterior showed no obvious signs of damage, as if it had been deliberately placed there.
"This is so strange. How could a warship with no energy response end up here? And in such good condition?" Ellie said over the communication channel.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, "In any case, let's board the ship and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
The small warship slowly approached the abandoned warship and successfully docked. Lin Yu led his team members carefully onto the abandoned warship, a musty smell immediately hitting them. The interior of the warship was dimly lit, with only a few emergency lights flickering faintly. They moved slowly along the passageway, their footsteps echoing in the silent space, sounding particularly eerie.
Suddenly, one of the team members spotted a huge cabin. The door was ajar, letting in a faint light. Lin Yu signaled the team to stop, then cautiously approached the cabin and slowly pushed the door open.
The sight before him stunned him. Rows of enormous instruments filled the cabin, emitting a soft blue light and seemingly still functioning. In the center of the cabin was a massive screen displaying a complex array of data and images.
"Where is this place? What are these instruments used for?" The team members gathered around, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.
Lin Yu stepped forward and carefully observed the data and images on the screen. He discovered that the data seemed to be related to energy fluctuations in the universe, while the images showed a giant black hole, with matter around it being frantically devoured, forming a huge accretion disk.
"Could it be... related to the cataclysmic disaster we encountered before?" A sense of foreboding welled up in Lin Yu's heart.
Just then, the data on the screen suddenly changed, and a mysterious voice echoed in the cabin: "You've finally arrived..."
Lin Yu and his team quickly raised their weapons and cautiously looked around. However, there was no sign of any other living beings inside the cabin besides themselves.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Yu shouted into the empty cabin.
The mysterious voice did not answer his question, but continued, "The fate of the universe is about to change, and a cataclysmic disaster is unavoidable... but there is still a glimmer of hope..."
"What chance of survival? Explain yourself!" Lin Yu shouted anxiously.
The mysterious voice paused for a moment, then continued, "At the center of the universe lies the ruins of an ancient civilization, where the key to overcoming disaster lies hidden... But remember, time is running out..."
After speaking, the mysterious voice disappeared, and the data on the screen returned to normal. Lin Yu and his team exchanged bewildered glances, filled with shock and confusion. Who was this mysterious voice? Where were the ancient civilization ruins it spoke of? Could they find these ruins and save the universe before the cataclysmic disaster struck?
