Alien Relic Hunter

Twenty minutes later, a piece of paper full of strange graffiti was delivered to the table in front of Ke Lan and the others - this was something the survivor had drawn with the pen in his hand while in a hypnotic state.

Apart from a large number of messy and meaningless lines, there are only three patterns of different sizes left on the paper. These three patterns are all the same. They look a bit like stick figures in stick figures, but their limbs and torso are different. It is stretched very long, and at the head position, many stacked lines are added, making it look like clumps of weeds.

This is a bit too abstract... Layton muttered, It looks like there are three... people?

What is this? The old dog pointed at the heads of the three stick figures, Have you not had a haircut for so long that your heads are covered?

Did this guy see Sadako under the mine? Layton scratched the back of his head, But Sadako lives in a well, not a mine.

Sadako is a very famous horror film from the old era, and Ke Lan has also seen it. The protagonist Sadako is a female ghost whose hair is so long that it covers her entire face.

It's definitely not Sadako. Sadako's long black hair is obviously much smoother. This looks like a messy bird's nest... You should know about bird's nests, right? Birds on earth build nests in trees. It is usually made of branches and weeds, and it looks like this. Liao Zilang retorted.

Stop talking nonsense, it's all about the female ghost. The old dog scolded a little irritably, But having said that, the things under the mine must have something to do with hair. Do you still remember that guy just took a photo? After looking in the mirror, do you start pulling your hair like crazy?

That's not right. Didn't Ke Lan just take off the cardboard on his head? Why didn't he pull Ke Lan's hair? Leighton said unconvinced.

Yeah, why don't you come and pull my hair?

Ke Lan thought so, and subconsciously reached for his hair, but he pulled it in vain - just the day before departure, he had just shaved a refreshing round head, and now the length of his hair is less than one centimeter, and his fingers It's totally unbearable.

As for the mentally disturbed survivor, his hair is already very long, somewhat similar to the chicken coop hair style he drew himself.

Hair...long hair...messy hair...

Ke Lan tapped the table with his index finger, thinking hard: He will feel fear when he sees human beings, but not when he sees heads... He will fall into madness again after seeing his own long hair... No, it's not. Madness, to be precise, that emotion should be closer to despair... But why did he feel despair after seeing his long hair?

Could it be...that he thought he had become those monsters in the mine?

Ke Lan suddenly had a hunch that he seemed to be very close to the truth... but it always felt like there were some deviations.

There is so little information from this survivor, and what little there is is highly misleading...

Where are the other survivors? Did they really not see anything? About what was under the mine?

As long as they are still conscious, everyone has been interrogated at least three times, and the answers are almost the same. Manstein pointed to the fainted survivor in the solitary room and said, I'm afraid only the fourth batch of hunters have seen the true face of those things, but he is the only one in the fourth batch of hunters who came back alive.

The first three batches of hunters who entered the mine were all equipped with thermal imaging night vision devices, so they did not carry lighting equipment. However, after discovering that those creatures could not be seen by thermal imaging, the fourth batch of hunters changed their decision-they gave up. Thermal imaging night vision devices, which would be seriously interfered by light, instead equipped the team members with a large amount of lighting equipment - but these lighting equipment were equivalent to dazzling living targets in the dark mines, and they were not even able to compete with those The creatures fought hand to hand, and the strong acid sprayed from the shadows had already killed half of them.

The only piece of equipment that recorded this battle was the communication headset worn by the crazy survivor. However, after extracting and analyzing the contents of the headset's storage chip, all that could be heard was the sound of messy gunfire and... The screams were no different from the video record Yu Yi played for Ke Lan in the car.

No matter what, I still want to meet the survivors who stayed in the base. Ke Lan said to Manstein.

Of course, please come with me.

…

The base's infirmary is a three-story tower built with standardized building modules. According to Manstein, the original rated number of beds here was fifteen, but now it has to be doubled, and even the corridors are full of beds. Filled with hospital beds and medical equipment.

There are twenty-nine injured people stranded here, all survivors of the third exploration operation. Four people were seriously injured, fifteen people were slightly injured, and the remaining ten people only had some minor scratches...

In fact, except for the four seriously injured people, those with less serious injuries have already recovered to a certain extent. However, in order to keep it secret, the Soma Consortium had to put them all under house arrest in this hospital that was used as a medical office. In the tower, not only them, but also the hunters who had returned to the Ark were temporarily restricted from personal freedom.

By the way, when this commission is completed, do we have to be imprisoned for a few months? Lao Gou glanced at the monitoring bracelets worn by the hunters and asked with an unkind expression - that thing has an euphemistic name. It was said to be to check the physical condition of the injured in real time, but in fact it contained a tube of concentrated explosive. Although the explosive was not powerful enough to kill a person, it could easily break an arm.

Of course not, you are different from them. Manstein whispered, And...if Mr. Ke Lan can complete the commission, this secret will not be so important.

What? Do you still plan to share the ultra-pure crystal with other consortiums? Layton asked with some confusion.

The Soma Consortium has never thought of monopolizing all ultra-pure crystals, Manstein narrowed his eyes. If you have a big appetite, it will break your body.

You have some brains, the old dog nodded, but... what if this thing is only found in your mine?

If this is really the case, it depends on what the decision-makers of the consortium think... This kind of thing is not something that people at my level can decide.

Let's not talk about it for now. Is the commander of the third group of hunters here? I have something to ask him. Ke Lan looked at the survivors who were sitting on the hospital bed and looking at them with doubts on their faces.

The commander of the third group of hunters is Keller, the security director of our base... He failed to escape from Mine No. 7. Manstein sighed and said.

The security director of the base was almost equivalent to Manstein's right-hand man. Unexpectedly, even managers of this level were lost in the mines. It has to be said that the Soma Consortium suffered heavy losses this time.
