The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Kendra immediately went to the main control screen in the lounge, his fingers flying across the control panel. Using his technical privileges, he hacked into the ship's residual system and retrieved the internal monitoring and daily video recordings of the Ishimura.

The screen kept changing, initially showing normal scenes of the crew's daily work and leisure, but the further you scrolled through, the more chaotic the images became.

The camera shook wildly for no reason, and the screen was filled with static and noise. A large amount of video data from key time periods was deliberately deleted, leaving only fragmented and incomplete clips.

Seeing the strange and unusual surveillance footage, Hammond, Isaac, and the others, whose hearts had just calmed down, were instantly filled with anxiety again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!"

Just then, a burst of rapid, intense gunfire suddenly erupted from deep within the outer passageway!

"All personnel on alert!"

Hammond stood up instantly, holding his rifle level, his eyes sharp and tense.

Aiden and Hayley, who had been relaxed, immediately raised their guns in alert, their fingers gripping the triggers, their nerves on edge.

Kendra quickly turned off the screen, gripped his personal terminal tightly, and looked serious.

"The gunshots are very close, right in the next compartment!" Hammond barked, decisively ordering, "Go! Let's go investigate!"

Without hesitation, the five-man squad immediately regrouped and rushed out of the lounge with heavy steps, heading at full speed towards the direction from which the gunshots were coming to investigate.

As soon as the group turned through two hatches, a scene of intense, chaotic fighting suddenly appeared in the dimly lit industrial corridor ahead.

A team of fully armed soldiers, equipped with cybernetic enhancements, was seen fighting amidst a group of grotesque monsters!

"Hamond, look! Those monsters look like crew members from the Ishimura!" Isaac exclaimed, pointing in shock to the nearby fallen monster corpses.

Following the gaze, everyone saw that the monster's twisted and deformed body was indeed wearing a crew uniform.

But why would they do this?

"Damn it, this place is so weird!" Hammond cursed under his breath, completely bewildered by the situation.

"Captain, our most important task right now is to try to make contact with those people and get information about the ship," Kendra whispered a reminder.

"No need to rush this!"

Watching the six men skillfully and deftly deliver headshots, killing the monster several meters away.

Hammond said warily, "Their attire is too strange; they don't seem like the security personnel for a spaceship."

"Those monsters couldn't hurt them. Let's wait and see."

Damn, to be able to get a precise headshot amidst such a dense and chaotic mass of rapidly moving monsters.

Such an elite team doesn't look like the security personnel on the Ishimura at all.

It's even more impossible to let a minor stand in front with a gun!

"Damn it, Rebecca, I told you not to shoot randomly!"

"Well, that's great, a whole bunch of bastards even uglier than those idiots from the Vortex Gang have come over!"

Pila, the older brother, complained, but his firepower and activity were no less than Rebecca's, who was wielding a shotgun.

"Shut up, Pila!" the short Rebecca retorted excitedly as she sprayed bullets wildly. "These trash might as well be dealt with all at once!"

"Who told them to scare me like that!"

"Hahaha...Go to hell, all of you!"

Pila, who was listening nearby, felt her scalp tingle. "Damn it, you little brat!"

"I shouldn't have brought you along. Didn't you see the boss was behind us?"

"What if something goes wrong? Will you take responsibility?!"

“Boss,” Pila said, turning to Lu Qianwei, “you shouldn’t have agreed to this guy’s offer in the first place; he’s just causing us a lot of trouble!”

"She should go to school with David and that little girl Lucy!"

"Go to hell!" Rebecca got angry as soon as she heard that. After shooting an enemy who flew down from the top of the wall, she turned around and kicked Pila in the leg.

go to school?!

She never wants to go to bed with anyone in her life!

Now that knowledge is shared, you can simply insert a chip card to get all the knowledge you want.

They, the cybernetic beings, have it much easier than humans from other worlds in this respect.

"Ahem, that's enough!" Seeing that the two were about to continue their antics, Lu Qianwei used spatial teleportation to get within five meters of the mutated corpses and quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Quickly dealing with these mutated corpses will also make it easier for us to find treasures, since we don't have much time."

After cyberpunk corporate tycoons suffer bloody retaliation from pent-up public anger, the world is basically stable.

Lu Qianwei wanted to find something to do, but the high-ranking members of the Interstellar Battlefield Alliance were unwilling to let him go to the battlefield.

If something unexpected happens, the time portal might disappear.

After much deliberation, Lu Qianwei ultimately decided to open up new dimensions and find a way to quickly end the war.

Alas, the Iron Blood is fighting, the Transformers universe is fighting, and the Pacific Rim universe is also fighting. Ultimately, it's because they're moving too fast.

But all the scenarios presented at the time were apocalyptic and disaster-ridden worlds, so the only way for them to quickly save themselves was to unite and develop rapidly.

Like a snake devouring an elephant, they receive alien technology and technological products while simultaneously enduring the troubles they bring.

Interstellar warfare is extremely resource-intensive, especially since humanity faces opponents with hundreds of millions of years of history and resources.

Currently, the system's energy is only enough for him to open a permanent spacetime portal below the fifth dimension once.

Several hours ago, Lu Qianwei opened a temporary portal to another dimension on an overseas island in the cyber world.

At first, they didn't realize there was any danger when they discovered they were on an old spaceship.

But as they ventured deeper, they saw the metal bulkhead covered in scratches, the dark red bloodstains everywhere, and the many brutally torn, bitten, and unrecognizable corpses, and realized that the spaceship was not as simple as it seemed.

When several monsters with mouths full of fangs and arms with thick, long bone spikes suddenly appeared in front of Lu Qianwei.

He knew this was yet another world on the verge of its apocalypse!

And this mining spaceship marked with the Ishimura was the very beginning of the apocalypse!

Chapter 204 Divine Seal

Divine seals are devices left behind by extraterrestrial civilizations, and they are scattered in large numbers throughout the universe.

The devices themselves are stable, but humans secretly reverse-engineered them, causing them to be fully activated.

The activated divine seal can release an electromagnetic signal that induces humans to go mad and triggers a zombie infection, turning corpses into bloodthirsty monsters.

Necromorphs are incredibly resilient; blowing their heads off won't kill them quickly.

The only best solution is to cut off their limbs.

Lu Qianwei had played Dead Space in his previous life. The plot might be vague, but he still remembered that the setting of Divine Seal was to release infectious signals to reorganize biological tissues, which caused corpses to mutate into alien creatures.

They can also aggregate to form larger organisms.

The essence of Lu Qianwei's dimensional ascension is the source substance, which is extremely firmly anchored to the physical body, making it impossible for the divine seal to shake even a trace of the genes within his body.

As for Mann and the others... many of them have mechanically replaced organs, and the Divine Seal is not the Red Demon Virus, so it cannot infect machines.

As the gunfire gradually subsided, more than a hundred mutated corpses that had pounced on them had fallen.

A large number of limb remains and black and red blood mixed with broken bones and rotten flesh covered half of the passage, making Hammond and his five men, who were secretly observing, feel disgusted.

Watching the last three ghouls writhe haphazardly with their deformed bodies twisted and turned.

One of them smashed through the broken steel plates blocking its path, its bone-spiky arm sweeping straight towards Rebecca's throat.

The little girl snorted coldly, dodged to the side, and at the same time, pressed the shotgun directly against the monster's belly. With a loud bang, black and red pieces of internal organs sprayed all over Pila's trouser leg.

"Damn it! Rebecca, you did this on purpose, didn't you!" Pila cursed, raising her hand and firing a burst of intelligent submachine gun from her modified left arm, instantly severing the limbs of the last two necromancers.

The monster slammed against the bulkhead, twitched twice, and then went completely still.

Pila kicked away the monster's head that had rolled to his feet, cursing as he changed his magazine: "This piece of junk is a hundred times uglier than those drug-addicted lunatics from the Vortex Gang!"

"Damn it, it's broken into eight pieces and it's still moving! What kind of weird thing is this? Is it implanted with machinery?!"

Rebecca wiped the blood off the shotgun, and was about to retort when Mann glared at her and shut her up.

Lu Qianwei casually wiped away the bloodstains, his gaze finally settling on the shadowy corner where Isaac and his group of five were hiding.

"Stop arguing, all of you. Didn't you see we have guests?"

Upon hearing this, the group turned around in unison, raising their guns and aiming them at the corner.

The heavy cannon on Mann's shoulder, now fully heated, still glowed with a faint blue light.

The three men's gazes were fixed on the shadow where someone was hiding.

Hammond knew he had been exposed and, eager to know what had happened on the Ishimura, immediately made a hand gesture.

The other four nodded and stepped out of the shadows, but they all held their standard rifles steady. Although the muzzles were not pointed directly at anything, the safety was not engaged either. The two groups faced off across the hatch.

The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of conflict.

Hammond spoke first, "We mean no harm to the other side."

"My name is Zach Hammond!"

"We are the CEC's Kyleon repair and rescue team."

We arrived here after receiving a distress signal from the Ishimura ten days ago.

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly, raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Mann's team to put down their guns.

He knew the identities of the five people better than they did.

I still vividly remember that terrifying plot-driven kill that killed two unlucky guys right at the start.

Mann turned off the shoulder cannon, and Pila, though still wary, also pressed her submachine gun to the ground. Only Rebecca was still holding her shotgun, pointing it in that direction. After Dorio gave her a candy, she reluctantly lowered the muzzle.

In fact, she really wanted to try fighting against humans from another world to see how strong she was.

Seeing that the tense atmosphere had finally eased a bit, Hammond first glanced at the gruesome corpses scattered on the ground, then looked up at Lu Qianwei.

He then asked the question that everyone on their side was concerned about: "Um... we just came down from the rescue spaceship."

Can you tell us what those monsters were?
