Since their action this time was very smooth and they did not find more bodies in the storage rooms behind the kitchen, Grace, who was not satisfied, naturally wanted to take this opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation of the main warehouse of the spaceship. Therefore, the two cautiously left the storage area behind the kitchen again, then followed the emergency passage at the far end to leave the area where the kitchen is located, and continued to go to the lower level of the spaceship.

Because the crew members on the spaceship have been completely fascinated by the food provided by the chef during this period, the maintenance personnel have not been able to repair the circuit system connecting the monitoring equipment on the lower level of the spaceship, and almost no one is patrolling inside the spaceship now. This made Yungo and Grace can boldly go to the cargo area of the spaceship without worrying about being discovered by other crew members.

However, even so, Yungo and Grace were very cautious when walking in the passage. Because they knew that what they are facing now is not only colleagues, but also it is very difficult to distinguish from the surface, and they have been controlled by Virus X. Or, in addition to the two of them, all other crew members they are facing now have been controlled by Virus X. In addition, the maintenance personnel have not repaired the lighting circuit in the passage of the ship for a long time, leading to the fact that the lighter the spaceship passage, the darker the lighting. This made the two people, even though they knew that the dark passage in front of them was empty, became timid under the influence of fear and tension. Therefore, the two people could only hold their breath and stick to the wall, summoning up the courage to use the dim emergency light to slowly grope towards the cargo area.

Fortunately, the two finally safely walked along the dim passage to the door of the cargo area. Because the circuit here has not been fully repaired, the door of the cargo area can only be in a completely open state. This made Yungo and Grace smoothly enter this huge cargo cabin that occupies one-third of the volume of the spaceship after confirming that there were no other crew members nearby.

After checking by Yungo and Grace, it was found that the monitoring device in the cargo cabin is also malfunctioning. In addition, the two saw the light on one side of the cargo cabin as soon as they entered the cargo cabin. This indicates that the light on that passage has been repaired by the maintenance personnel, and it also indicates that this passage must be used frequently, so the light on the passage is brighter than the light at other positions.

Sure enough, as soon as Yungo and Grace approached this passage, they saw traces left by footprints on the ground with the help of the bright light. Yungo bent down to take a close look and found that some of the traces were relatively obvious, indicating that someone had been here not long ago.

So, Yungo got up and looked towards the depths of the cargo cabin along this bright corridor, and said, "Phew! It seems that someone has been walking here all the time."

Then, Yungo pointed to the whole passage and said, "If I remember correctly, if you go straight from here, you should be able to reach the super-large cold storage behind the cargo cabin."

"That's right. Ahead is the cold storage of the cargo cabin!" Grace responded, and then she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Yungo naturally understood why Grace had this reaction, because he also had a chill in his heart after identifying where this corridor led.

Although there was a bad idea in his heart, Yungo still took Grace's somewhat cold left hand and said with courage, "Let's go! No matter what, we have to go and check the situation. I hope those guys have only repaired the function system of the cold storage, but did not change the entry and exit password of the cold storage!"

The reason why Yungo said this is because he and Grace are not only the main operators of the Express Vanguard, but also the reserves that Captain Tim values. So Captain Tim often gives them some private lessons in private, so that the two of them can grow into spaceship operators who can stand on their own as soon as possible. In this process, the two naturally know the backup start-up passwords of many facilities on the spaceship, and the password to open the door of the cold storage in the cargo cabin happens to be among them.

Because walking on this corridor illuminated by the light is too dangerous, in order to be safe, Yungo and Grace still hid in the shadow beside the corridor, carefully followed the light all the way to the end of the corridor through the gap between the two sides of the shelf, and saw two huge cold storage doors made of metal at the end of the corridor.

The two confirmed again that there were no other team members around, and then very carefully confirmed whether the cold storage door was locked. After confirming that there were no signs of the cold storage door being newly opened, Grace tried to enter the backup password. Fortunately, the maintenance personnel did not reset all the passwords of the cold storage. Therefore, after Grace entered the backup password, a small door on the side of the cold storage popped open, and Yungo and Grace successfully entered this cold storage.

The light inside the cold storage was obviously repaired, but the quantity repaired was very limited, but this did not prevent Yungo and Grace from seeing the situation inside the cold storage at the first time of entering the cold storage. It was also because of this reason that the two people were immediately penetrated by the chill from head to foot as soon as they entered the cold storage.

Of course, the chill here is not the cold brought to the two people by the low temperature in the cold storage. Because for them, the Vis people, after the body has been semi-intelligently mechanized, it has a strong adaptability to the harsh environment. This makes Yungo and Grace feel the cold inside the cold storage like an ice cave, but their bodies are enough to cope with this cold and can ensure that they can survive in this environment for a long time without heating facilities. So, what makes the two people feel the chill to the bone is not the temperature, but the super fresh body storage devices placed on the ice cave shelves one by one, commonly known as body bags.

Because there are so many body bags placed in this cold storage that in Yungo and Grace's view, it is no longer a cold storage for storing materials, but has completely become a large morgue. The two suppressed the horror in their hearts, tried to move to the row of shelves closest to the door, and then carefully peeked into a body bag to take a close look. As expected, it can be determined from the identification and text on the body bag that this body bag does belong to the Broadsword Expeditionary Force.

"These, these bodies, where did they come from? Aren't they all buried on Planet E? When were they brought onto the spaceship? Could they, could they all become ours?" After confirming the source of these body bags, Grace spoke in a somewhat incoherent manner.

Because Grace was too frightened at the moment, and she realized the use of these bodies, which led to her not daring to continue. However, this does not affect Yungo's understanding of what she wants to express. So Yungo quickly grabbed her shoulders, tried to soothe Grace who was shaking with excessive fear, and said, "Don't be nervous! Take a deep breath! Maybe, maybe these body bags are not the bodies of the Broadsword Expeditionary Force members?"

Perhaps to prove that he was right, or to further determine what was in these body bags, Yungo once again mustered up the courage to step forward, then opened the body bag in front of him with trembling hands. Then, Yungo once again took a big breath of cold air and staggered back two steps, because what he saw in the body bag was indeed the body of a member of the Broadsword Expeditionary Force.

At this moment, Grace, who had adjusted her emotions, also mustered up the courage to open a body bag. Similarly, she immediately saw a completely frozen body. Then, the two opened several body bags, and after confirming that they all contained the bodies of the deceased Broadsword Expeditionary Force members, they both sat down on the ground covered with a thick layer of ice due to excessive fear and intense tension, gasping for breath.

After a while, the two stood up with each other's help, then closed the opened body bags one by one to prevent others from discovering that these body bags had been tampered with. The two remained silent throughout this process, just continuing to gasp for breath to calm the surging waves in their hearts. During this period, Yungo and Grace actually wanted to say something to relieve the atmosphere full of fear. However, every time the two opened their mouths, it was either because the things in front of them were too horrifying, leading them to not know what to say for a while; or because the stiffness caused by the dry throat made them even move their throats with great effort, let alone say a complete sentence.

"Uh! Cough cough!" Just as Yungo and Grace didn't know what to say, leading to the terrifying atmosphere on the scene being difficult to disperse, a weak cough full of extreme despair suddenly came from the cold storage.

"What, who?!" Yungo immediately subconsciously exclaimed. At the same time, he and Grace quickly located the cough coming from a shelf near the cold storage door.

The two people who were panting had to take a big breath of cold air again, and appeared dizzy for a short time due to not being able to control their breathing. Although the two's consciousness recovered quickly, they soon felt faint again under the impact of stronger fear. Because as the two followed the struggling cough, they soon saw a slightly wriggling body bag on the second layer of the shelf closest to the door.

The scene of the body bag suddenly moving was indeed terrifying, but Yungo and Grace soon realized from the increasingly weak cough that the person in the body bag seemed to be a living person, not a corpse that suddenly changed. So the two hurriedly suppressed their fear, boldly walked to the shelf, and trembled to open the body bag. But what the two didn't expect was that as soon as they opened one-third of the body bag, a head covered with bloodstains suddenly stretched out from inside, scaring Yungo and Grace to scream and retreat several steps back, then both fell to the ground.

"Phew—! Ah—! You, you won't succeed! You, kill me quickly!" As soon as the head came out of the body bag, it roared to the sky with all its strength.

Yungo and Grace hurriedly changed their posture from falling in a mess to a defensive posture half lying on the ground, and at the same time, they were ready to fight with the monster that jumped out of the body bag at any time while trying to suppress their fear in their hearts. But the two waited for a while before they found that the head that came out of the body bag was just roaring by itself, but there was no sign of wanting to come out of the body bag. Or rather, the guy lying in the body bag had no strength to climb out of the body bag. So the two slowly got up from the ground after making enough psychological construction, clenched their fists ready for a fight at any time, and once again mustered up the courage to walk towards the body bag.

"Ah—! You kill me quickly! You bunch of hateful parasites! You won't succeed! You definitely won't succeed!" The head did not notice that Yungo and Grace were approaching, but still roared with wide eyes open, looking up to the sky.

"Who, who are you?!" Yungo finally asked when he walked close enough to the body bag.

The head heard Yungo's voice and realized that there was someone beside him, so he stopped roaring and turned to look at Yungo, and after showing a twisted smile full of pain, he cursed: "Hoo hoo hoo! You bunch of pitiful parasites! Even if you eat us, what can you do? You, you will never get what you want! You bunch of monsters will never succeed! Kill, if you want to kill, do it quickly! I'm so tired here——!"

Although judging from the expression on the head full of bloodstains, he should have been severely injured and was dying. But Yungo and Grace can at least determine that he is still a living person, not a zombie monster. So Yungo, who was a little relieved, boldly walked to this person and said, "Hey! Calm down! We are not parasites, nor are we any monsters! We are the crew members of the Express Vanguard! Who are you? How are you now? Why are you here?"
