Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan looked back at Asano Akira behind him, and saw that he was putting all his weight on the sword, his eyes were closed tightly, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he was going to faint at any time...

The cost of that move just now was so terrifying?

Ke Lan thought to himself that Akira Asano might not be able to recover in a while... He turned his gaze back to the front. At this moment, the six sea anemone heads were less than ten meters away from him.

The heat bar of the energy shield has risen above the 75% danger threshold. If it persists for at most thirty seconds, the shield generator will enter an overheated state again.

This time, it seems that we really have to fight hard...

Just when Ke Lan turned off the shield and was about to rush forward, the six sea anemone heads turned around and ran away without warning, making a harsh cry like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. .

The three-meter-level anemone head that was fighting with the hounds and others actually gave up its attack when it heard the cry, and ran into the tunnel after the six smaller anemone heads.

What's going on? The hound fell to the ground. The power armor on his body was in pieces. As long as the monster just added another claw to him, he would definitely have to answer here today.

Deep in the tunnel, something is commanding them... Let us come back with our lives. Ke Lan looked solemnly at the direction where the monster disappeared and said, Don't relax your vigilance, they are likely to come back.

If they come back... it doesn't matter whether we let down our guard or not, it's useless - bah! The hound spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, They can't be beaten at all, even with powered armor. The melee capabilities of these things are better than acid. The liquid is still terrifying, the strength, speed, and reaction ability are all top-notch, and he doesn’t feel pain...it’s impossible to fight.”

Only a pervert like Brother Asano... No, only a master can deal with these monsters. Layton glanced at the only corpse on the ground and said.

Doctor, go see how Asano Akira is doing. Hound pointed at Asano Akira, who had fallen into a semi-conscious state, and said to Ivan.

Yes. Ivan nodded, walked to Asano Akira's side, and with Ke Lan's help, he laid Asano Akira down on the ground, and then took out the medical kit.

Five minutes later... Ivan put away the equipment and nodded to Ke Lan's hound: His condition is very close to what Ke Lan described. The physical damage is not serious, but the brain wave frequency is very low, only Less than two hertz...this kind of brain wave generally only appears in people who are in deep sleep or under anesthesia.

He...has become a vegetative state? Layton asked.

That's not the case, but a conservative estimate... he will be in this state for at least eight hours. Ivan said.

Well...if those monsters don't attack within eight hours, maybe we have dug out the blocked tunnel, but is this possible? The hound glanced at the dark man with sadness. Tunnel, shuddered involuntarily.

While they were chatting, Ke Lan had already walked to the corpse of the monster that was decapitated by Akira Asano and squatted down.

He turned off the power of the high-frequency particle vibration dagger. Now the dagger was just an ordinary sharp weapon. Ke Lan held the handle of the dagger and stabbed it hard towards the corpse——

Pfft.

The tip of the knife broke through the monster's skin easily, and the purple-red color did not appear. It seemed that the defense mechanism of these monsters only took effect when they were alive.

Ke Lan pulled out the dagger, and thick blood overflowed from the wound. The blood showed a deep red color that was very close to black, with a strong rotten smell, and there were some clots in it... This point It didn't look like a creature that had just been killed, but rather like a zombie that had been dead for a long time.

Ke Lan turned the corpse over. At this time, a long black mark on the inside of the corpse's arm attracted his attention...

Is this... text? Is it a character from the Alpha civilization?

Ke Lan grabbed the monster's arm with both hands and used force to flatten the skin with black text printed on it. But when he saw the content of the text clearly, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

That was not the text of Alpha Civilization, but a string of squiggles in English, which translated meant: My favorite girl, Bertha.

This is a tattoo, a tattoo that only appears on humans.

You all come here. Ke Lan waved to the others and said with a serious face.

What's wrong? Did you find anything? Ivan was the first to run over. Do you need me to perform an autopsy?

Look at this. Ke Lan pointed to the tattoo on the inside of the monster's arm.

...My favorite girl... Before Ivan finished reading, he closed his mouth and stared at Ke Lan for two seconds.

Yes, these monsters were once humans. Ke Lan nodded.

This...are these all human beings? The hound was a little unbelievable, but the English letters on the corpse forced him to face this fact.

That should be the case. The only thing I'm not sure about now is...whether these monsters have become living people or dead people...

Is there any difference between living people...dead people? Layton asked.

The difference is huge... The missing miners, even if they are all alive, are only twenty or thirty... But the number of hunters who entered the mine four times and the corpses left in the tunnel is three digits... …And the corpses have disappeared…” Ke Lan took a deep breath and continued, “If these corpses turned into this kind of thing…”

You mean, there may be hundreds of such monsters deep in the mine?! The hound was stunned for a moment, and a flash of despair flashed in his eyes - just two three-meter sea anemone heads almost killed them. The group was wiped out. If there were hundreds of them, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough people in the entire base to kill them!

This commission has exceeded our capabilities. I declare the mission aborted. The only thing to do now is to find a way to leave here alive. Ke Lan stood up and said.

Leave, how do you leave? The hound shook his head pessimistically, The escape route is blocked. There is only one way in front of us, but if we continue to go in, isn't that just asking for death?

Dig it out. Ke Lan said.

Dig? How long does it take to dig?! The blocked tunnel must be at least twenty meters long, and the power armors we wear are all combat-type, not engineering-type. Do you think those monsters will give us a few hours to come? Digging for rocks?”
