Wicked Technology (Part 1)
The horrifying sight stunned the salvager pilot. He hurriedly reported his discovery to his ship.
However, this was not an isolated case. Vast numbers of similarly terrifying chambers were found aboard every Xilu ship, and they too were crammed full of such corpses!!
Meanwhile, the Marines led by Huang Yehao arrived before one such chamber.
There was no way he could have overlooked it, because it was simply too bizarre! There were more than forty such chambers aboard this battlecruiser, arranged side by side along a long corridor in the lower central section of the ship, occupying a huge area in its middle.

"Let's go." Huang Yehao said no more
