"Bang bang bang!"

The huge crashing sound constantly echoed in the deadly silent cabin.

The voice sounded very suddenly, inexplicably, and caught off guard, without any psychological preparation at all.

Everyone present, including Meng Lei, suddenly felt as if their hearts had been hit by a hammer, and they were all startled.

Cold sweat soaked through his back instantly, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense.

"What's that sound?"

"Are there any living creatures on board? How is that possible?"

…

In the team, someone whispered in disbelief, with a look of panic on their face.

This sound is really strange, like a monster with infinite strength, slamming against the deck frantically, trying his best to break free from the cage.

But everyone has clearly explored the entire first floor area and found no living creatures at all.

So where did this horrible crashing sound come from?

"Could it be the second floor..."

Compared to others, Meng Lei was relatively calm.

All kinds of strange things, he has seen too much in this deep sea.

He had even experienced scenes like Resident Evil, and it was hard for him to have anything that could make him panic.

After a brief absence, Meng Lei immediately noticed the abnormality.

The sound didn't seem to come from the first floor area, and the faint vibrations beneath the feet indicated that the source of the sound seemed to be the second floor area of ​​the submarine.

"This way!"

Meng Lei immediately stepped forward and approached cautiously in the direction of the sound of the crash.

"Commander, be careful!"

The accompanying fighters also reacted immediately, and they hurriedly gathered Meng Lei in the center and walked forward around him.

Among these people, there are many well-trained soldiers.

Seriously speaking, the psychological quality is even tougher than Meng Lei.

It's just that when faced with more bizarre things, the reaction speed may be a little slower, but the chain will never fall at the critical moment.

A group of people walked slowly through the corridor with flickering lights, while raising their weapons, their expressions were serious.

After turning the corner of the two corridors, Meng Lei, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly raised his arm and clenched his palm into a fist.

The next moment, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked straight ahead.

I saw that the ground deck that was flat and unremarkable during the exploration just now actually bulged upwards, with shallow tear marks.

It seems that it suffered some kind of strong impact from below.

A large number of dark brown mycelium, like the roots of plants, are growing wildly on the ground.

It's like an endless number of fine tentacles, or some kind of soft creature, oozing out from the gap, accompanied by a strange hissing sound, which makes the scalp numb.

"Sure enough, the problem lies below!"

Meng Lei took a deep breath and immediately took a step back to distance himself from the group of mycelium that was spreading wildly around.

"Si... Commander, what the **** are these ghosts?!"

Someone in the team exclaimed in a low voice, feeling horrified.

Meng Lei said solemnly: "This is a deep-sea fungus. It can draw nutrients from the submarine's power system and maintain its own growth. It's very strange!"

"I'm going, so evil?"

"There are even more evil ones!"

Meng Lei frowned slightly, subconsciously grasped the shotgun in his hand, and said solemnly:

"80% of the crew members infected with parasitism on this ship have been completely assimilated by this fungus, and they are hiding under our feet. When they go down, they will be vigilant and pay attention to safety!"

The voice fell, and the surrounding fighters responded with a bang:

"Yes!"

Just after everyone arrived in this area, the sound of the impact stopped, and the surroundings returned to a dead silence.

Meng Lei didn't stay nearby, and led his team to quickly run towards the shaft passage leading to the lower area.

Meng Lei is still unclear about what will happen to humans after being infected and assimilated by thalamic spores.

However, if the impact just now was caused by that kind of "vegetative person".

At least one thing can be confirmed, the power of this mutant creature is absolutely incomparable!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deform and twist the sturdy metal deck from the collision, and it almost flew away.

Such power is simply not something that the human body can withstand.

Even wearing a heavy diving suit, it will definitely hurt the bones.

And if the luck is worse, the oxygen mask is directly broken, and once a large number of fungal spores scattered in the air are inhaled, it will be even more dead!

Therefore, one has to be careful again and again.

After a while, everyone followed Meng Lei's footsteps and came to the entrance of the shaft passage leading to the lower area.

Like the Sea Locust, the hatch here is inlaid on the ground deck, and a ladder stands on the side of the wall.

Meng Lei took a deep breath and looked around.

In the eyes of affirmation and determination, he pressed the door start button with ease.

However, for some unknown reason, the tightly closed hatch only trembled slightly, and did not fully open, as if it was stuck by something.

Meng Lei frowned and tried again.

However, the result remains the same.

The cabin door trembled, and the circuit system continued to work hard, but it was impossible to break free from the shackles of that mysterious force, locking the cabin door firmly in a fixed position.

"Get on the cutter and cut off the whole door! Quick!"

Seeing that the door could not be opened normally, Meng Lei made a decisive decision and chose to violently demolish it.

"Yes!"

The two accompanying armed personnel immediately stepped forward, removed the plasma cutter they were carrying from their waist belts, and cut them along the gap at the edge of the hatch.

And while Meng Lei violently dismantled the shaft passage hatch,

In the earphones, Simon's shouts were also heard:

"They rushed out, ready to do it!"

The next moment, I heard the dull roar of guns and guns suddenly sounded outside the ghost ship's cabin, under the silent pitch-black ice ocean.

"winter!"

"winter!"

"winter!"

…

The roar of the electromagnetic battery was mixed with the humming of the machine gun battery, and it sounded in an instant.

The surrounding dead environment instantly boiled.

Obviously, Simon's fishing plan has initially achieved its goal, and the cell army in the beacon station began to attack.

Meng Lei breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to speak to remind Simon to pay attention to safety.

At this time, Simon suddenly shouted again:

"Captain, below! Below your submarine, terminal cells have rushed out of the holes in the ballast tank, and the lymphatic organ of the thalamus is at the bottom!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei's face suddenly sank, and he roared in a low voice:

"Received, we are now heading to the lower area, be careful yourself!"

After that, Meng Lei turned his head and shouted to the two next to him:

"Hurry up, this ghost has evolved a second lymphoid organ, and it must be removed as soon as possible!"

The voice fell, and another armed person stepped forward with a cutting machine and joined the team that violently broke the door.

A blue-and-white arc flashed,

In the air, a black mist of scorched objects rose up gradually.

Although wearing an oxygen mask can't smell the smell of the scorched lake, everyone can make up for the pungent smell based on the black smoke of birds and birds coming out of the gap in the hatch.

Soon, a harsh metal friction sound from Kacha sounded.

The heavy hatch on the deck floor was finally overwhelmed and crashed towards the second floor area.

"boom!"

A heavy muffled sound sounded, and the huge impact set off a cloud of smoke and dust.

The thalamic spores floating in the air were immediately impacted by the airflow, like a piece of crystal dust that rendered a dreamy effect, rippling wildly around.

Not waiting for the dust to settle, Meng Lei bullied him to the entrance of the dark and dark hatch under his feet, and looked inside with his head hooked.

The power system in the second floor area of ​​the submarine is obviously more seriously affected than the first floor. It is also possible that the lighting equipment is covered by a large area of ​​mycelium.

In short, the passage is dark, and it is impossible to see the reality.

Meng Lei pulled out a lighting stick from his waist, shook it twice, and then threw it down.

The bright fluorescent light dispelled the darkness, and the slowly falling lighting rod, like a star falling into the abyss, reflected the surrounding scene.

After seeing the scene in the passageway on the second floor, Meng Lei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, he finally knew the real reason why the hatch could not be opened.

As far as I can see, the entire passage corridor in the second floor area of ​​the submarine is now completely covered by countless mycelium.

The dark brown mycelium that twisted and clinged to the bulkhead, ceiling and floor was indeed as Hans said, like a creeper, densely crawling all the space.

One after another, colorful and huge flowers bloomed on the intertwined bulkhead.

The edge of each petal is jagged, like sharp fangs, and there is a ferocious taste in the beauty, it seems to be a piranha flower in the depths of the tropical rain forest, which is daunting.

The number of spores in the air of the second floor area is also several times more intense than that of the first floor.

The bright fluorescent light fell, as if falling into the depths of the dense fog, and soon became hazy.

The light is blocked and the line of sight is greatly affected.

Such an environment was indeed a bit strange, and Meng Lei felt deeply uneasy.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no other way to choose, he can only bite the bullet and wave around.

"Everyone follow closely, the situation below is a bit strange, everyone act collectively, don't spread out!"

As he said that, Meng Lei threw the shotgun behind him, carefully followed the ladder on the side of the bulkhead, and went deep into the second-floor area where the mycelium was spread.

Several other fighters followed, and they also descended to the second floor of the ghost ship with the fastest speed.

At this time, the sound of gunfire outside stopped, and it seemed that the first round of the attack had ended.

The surroundings returned to calm again, and fell into an extremely dead silence.

And in this silence, the strange hissing sound made by the thalamic mycelium as it grows and clings, once again clearly transmitted into the eardrum, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the surrounding environment.

"God, how did this place become like this? Is this still inside the submarine? Why does it feel like it has entered a tropical jungle!"

"I think it's more like the nest of alien monsters, isn't it all played like this in movies?"

"It's terrifying, it's really terrifying..."

In the team, someone quietly looked around and kept whispering.

For the first time, I saw the scene inside the thalamic boat, and the strange picture brought a strong visual impact.

Everyone felt as if they had come to the monster's lair, and felt inexplicable trembling.

"Don't be stunned, turn on the tactical flashlight, and find the entrance to the hatch leading to the next floor as soon as possible. Our goal is the ballast tank. First, kill the lymphatic organs of this ghost!"

In a normal submarine structure, the ballast tanks are located at the bottom of the submarine.

This E-class transport ship has a huge hull, and it is impossible to have only two layers of structure. If you want to reach the position where the ballast tank is located, you have to continue to go deeper.

However, the ground deck of the second floor area is now completely covered by a large number of mycelium.

In addition, the surrounding environment was extremely dim, and the endless spores turned into a thick fog, floating in the passage corridor, and it was impossible to see anything from four meters away.

It is not so easy to find the downward shaft passage.

Everyone followed Meng Lei's footsteps all the way forward. The heavy diving suit stepped on the tough mycelium, making a rattling sound, as if wearing military boots in a muddy swamp.

Every step forward is very difficult.

These hyphae seem to have a certain consciousness, and they will actively wrap around the soles of the diving suits. They must move slowly and will soon be dragged.

Therefore, everyone can only move continuously, or stay in place, to avoid being entangled by the mycelium under their feet.

As you go deeper, more and more fungal growths appear before your eyes.

The mycelium hanging down on the ceiling is like a group of snakes, twisting and swaying above everyone's heads, showing their teeth and claws.

On the surrounding walls, those flower buds that have not bloomed, also like the organs of some kind of creature, throbbing like a heart.

Every step everyone took, they were extremely cautious, for fear that those unknown organs would burst open suddenly, and some strange things would pop out of them.

And the golden finger, which has always been powerful, seems to have lost its effect here.

When Meng Lei stared at the past, he didn't give any hints, and he didn't know if those unknown organs were still in the process of growing and evolving, and even the golden fingers could not judge their final form.

In short, everything here is full of weirdness and variables, and Meng Lei had to be extremely vigilant.

At one point, when they walked through a fork in the main passage.

The light of the tactical flashlight ~lightnovelpub.net~ vaguely reflected in the depths of the side passage. There was a shadow of a humanoid lake. Under the thick fog, it stretched its body in pain.

At the same time, a shallow cry for help came from that direction.

The hoarse voice clearly reflected on everyone's eardrums through the glass hood closed by the diving suit.

"Save...help me...help..."

The sound was very weak and slightly deformed, and it didn't look like it was made by a human being.

However, it is very real.

Hearing this, everyone present was horrified, and a strong chill rushed to their foreheads.

Meng Lei also held his breath and was shocked.

"What the hell?! There are still people on this boat?!"
