Ghost Under the Lava (2)

Even though Rhode was mentally prepared, his expressionless face turned ice-cold after witnessing the revolting rows of 'nourishment cabins' lined up before him. All of them were filled with a mysterious, turbid liquid that seemed to be mixed from knocked-over dyes. Submerged in the liquid were humans who looked like the primitive men that Rhode met before. However, they seemed weird as their bodies and limbs were as though some kind of biochemical, mutant specimens. If it weren't for their chests undulating slightly, Rhode would have thought that they were dead. But… even if they were alive, perhaps they weren't any different from the dead.
