Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station
Chapter 889 - 259: Favorability_3
The deputy manager Chang shook his head again and put the matter out of his mind.
Chen Ming found this scene somewhat interesting.
The deputy manager Chang of the Space Station, like Shen Yi, the intermediary of Zuo Jing whom Chen Ming had personally killed, only regarded Zuo Jing as a business, not something he truly believed in.
Apparently, the middle and upper levels of Zuo Jing don’t actually believe in it; only the lower levels foolishly fall into the trap, thinking in more extreme and sensitive ways.
Although Brother Shi’s intuition was correct, Chen Ming indeed came to stir up trouble.
But no matter how you look at today’s matter, it’s not a problem at all.
So, it’s normal that no one believes a minor character like him.
After Shi Shao left the office, Chen Ming continued to watch him for a while, but then he turned and walked toward the outskirts of the Space Station, showing no intention of heading further inside.
So, Chen Ming shifted his attention away from him.
Next, the metal liquid mainly needs to follow this deputy manager Chang.
Deputy manager Chang was one of the people surrounding Minister Ye before, and if possible, might be a way to get in contact with Minister Ye through him.
Of course, not now.
He’s still in deputy manager Chang’s office dealing with work.
Even in Zuo Jing’s Space Station, there’s still a heap of work that needs to be done by someone.
By the time the work is done, it’s probably rest time.
At least, there will be an opportunity tomorrow.
So, Chen Ming placed all his attention on the last bit of active metal liquid.
At this moment, this metal liquid had already reached the internal port of the Space Station, where a closed passage in the corner of the port suddenly opened.
A spaceship had just been delivered to the departure track by transport equipment, looking as if it was about to set sail soon.
From the markings, this is a garbage ship, meant to take the life refuse from the Space Station to be disposed of.
This ship is the one that Uncle Mao mentioned.
And indeed, according to Uncle Mao’s words, Chen Ming found something that shouldn’t be there in the corner of the ship.
Some very obvious dark red stains.
Blood.
Chen Ming immediately divided the metal liquid into two batches again.
One batch of metal liquid instantly extended in the direction the ship was transported from.
But there was still a partition membrane in the direction the ship came from, separating the port from the inner ring where the ship was transported from.
At that moment, no one was entering or exiting around the passage; it was purely mechanical structures transporting the ship, and Chen Ming had no opportunity to enter deeper inside.
He could only hide on the spot, looking for other opportunities to find ways to enter deeper into the Space Station besides through deputy manager Chang.
Meanwhile, the other batch of metal liquid he had just divided extended directly along the track onto this garbage transport ship.
Now there was just this place left worth investigating.
However, as the metal liquid just boarded the ship, Chen Ming discovered something else.
This ship was also wrapped in a layer of Silent Alloy Membrane that completely protected the ship, isolating the metal liquid outside the ship.
To be able to transport something in a ship protected by a Silent Alloy Membrane is definitely no simple matter.
Chen Ming felt he was on the right track.
Uncle Mao’s words were indeed not wrong.
After hiding the metal liquid, Chen Ming continued to wait for a while.
Close to midnight, this ship finally started moving, heading into space, then towards the edge of the star system, beginning to activate the Superspace Navigation System and entering Superspace.
Up to this point, everything seemed normal.
But just after the ship entered Superspace, it only flew a little further before suddenly turning off its transponder, reactivating the Superspace Navigation System, and departing Superspace again.
A ship with its transponder off is not as easily detected as when it is on; in this manner, this ship silently circled back from the edge of the star system and directly headed for the planet that orbits the Space Station.
It flew directly to the opposite side of the planet relative to the Space Station.
During the ship’s slow descent, Chen Ming realized he might have really found a key point.
Because there was an extremely obvious Spiritual Energy Fluctuation coming from right below the ship.
Chen Ming verified the status of the metal liquids under his control to prevent them from exposing his Spiritual Energy.
He felt slightly nervous and expectant inside; he wanted to know what he could uncover by following this ship.
Soon, the ship completely came to a stop.
However, only then did Chen Ming realize, the situation was more than he had expected.
Because beside the landing site of the ship was a huge, open pit.
And within this pit, there was a massive accumulation of corpses.
The vast majority of these corpses varied in appearance, gender, and age; many were likely the victims of Zuo Jing.
However, among them were some corpses with identical faces, clearly showing Zuo Jing was using cloning technology, selecting suitable individuals for cloning, and committing heinous acts with these clones.
These corpses shared a common characteristic: they were all horribly mutilated, without a single piece of good flesh on them.
Moreover, different body parts bore deformities.
An unsettling type of deformity.
It wasn’t the dimensional infection deformities Chen Ming knew of but a type of deformity that felt very familiar yet was something he had never seen before.
