Alien Relic Hunter

According to the exploration records of previous groups of people on the Sick Village, in addition to Area A, which is the control center of the space station, and Areas B and C, which are residential areas, the other three areas are places that are not suitable for human survival at all. .

Due to the long-term disrepair of the life support facilities, there is no oxygen or electricity in these three areas, and the temperature control system has been completely scrapped. When the space station moves to the sunlight area facing the sun, the temperature in these three areas can rise to nearly One hundred degrees Celsius, and when the space station enters the shadow of Alpha Star, its temperature will plummet to more than sixty degrees below zero.

Its day and night temperature difference is far more exaggerated than the desert area on Alpha Star.

However, this group of people seemed to be from Area E. Even if the servant of God wearing power armor could survive in such an environment, the followers under it could not.

It seems that the situation in Area E is not as bad as imagined...

Is it possible that these people have repaired the life support facilities in these areas?

Ke Lan thought about it and felt that the possibility of this guess was very low.

Life support facilities are not that easy to repair. The difficulty of this work is completely different from that of randomly connecting wires between scaffoldings. It must be done by professional engineers and technicians with corresponding licenses, and it also requires a lot of replacement parts that can only be manufactured on the Ark - otherwise, the original construction team would not only be able to repair the three ABCs. District.

How could this group of people, whose food problems depended on regular supplies delivered by transport ships, have the ability to repair the life support devices in the remaining three districts?

Just when Ke Lan was wondering if these people would suddenly take out a few spacesuits from somewhere, the end of the passage appeared in his field of vision.

The servant of God said nothing and walked directly towards the rusty iron door at the end. The followers standing next to Ke Lan had no intention of wearing protective gear.

During this period of time... the space station should be in the shadow of Alpha Star. Are these people planning to use their bodies to resist the low temperature and hypoxic environment of minus 60 degrees Celsius?

Are you irradiated mutants or Space Marines Astartes?

Ke Lan subconsciously blocked his arms in front of him and held his breath... However, when the servant pushed the door open, not only did he not feel the biting chill sweeping through the entire passage, but he also felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to rise slightly. Some.

Did I remember the time wrongly? The space station has just entered the sunshine area now? It's impossible. It takes ninety minutes for the space station to circle Alpha Star. It's impossible to remember it wrong... Ke Lan muttered in his heart and put down his arm. , looking out of the passage.

This is a dark red world!

Almost everything within sight is covered by dark red fleshy membranes. The thickness of these fleshy membranes is only about one finger. They look like the infamous carpet of blood-thirsty bacteria, but compared with the surface covered with tumor-like cells. With the bacterial carpet of the cyst removed, the surface of this layer of fleshy membrane will appear much smoother and smoother.

Ke Lan looked further away, but couldn't find any gaps at all. These fleshy membranes seemed to be a whole, rather than composed of countless individuals like fungal organisms.

At the top of Area E, there are several slender fleshy tentacles hanging down every few meters. The ends of these fleshy tentacles are wrapped in a fist-sized luminous body, which exudes soft light through the pink-white fascia. light.

Is this... a street light? Ke Lan was very surprised. If this layer of fleshy membrane were some kind of creature, it would not need lighting at all without eyes. These fleshy tentacles and luminous bodies seemed to be specially designed to live in the space station. Organs grown from humans.

Ke Lan couldn't help but think of a creature on earth called the angler fish. This fish usually lives in the deep sea where it is invisible. On the top of its head, there is a light-emitting organ that looks like a lantern... From a physical structure alone Said, it is somewhat similar to these street lights.

In the dark deep sea, light is an extremely rare thing. With the help of this light-emitting organ, the anglerfish can attract the phototaxis of small fish and shrimps to it for prey... Thinking of this, Ke Lan suddenly felt, This area E covered by a fleshy membrane is like the mouth of some giant creature, and these light-emitting organs are the bait it sets to attract prey.

Would it be possible that after stepping into it, these fleshy membranes would eat all of them...

At this time, the servant at the front moved. He took a step, stepped across the iron gate, and stepped on the dark red flesh membrane.

The fleshy membrane seemed to squirm slightly, but it did not show any aggression.

This...is the...residence of the 'Great God'! The servant of the god said with his back to Ke Lan, but it was originally supposed to be a pious sentence with a fanatical tone, but it was read out by its electronic synthesized voice. The feel of an academic paper.

Seeing that other followers followed the servant of God and entered the area covered by the flesh membrane, Ke Lan walked forward cautiously.

While walking forward, he had already released his breath-holding state and tried to take a breath - the air diffusing from Area E not only contained a lot of oxygen, but it was 100% higher than that on Alpha Planet and Earth. The oxygen content of 20 is much higher.

An environment with high oxygen content can easily give birth to some huge creatures. For example, in the Mesozoic Era of the Earth, the oxygen content in the air at that time was about 40%, which was almost twice that of the Cenozoic Era, such as dinosaurs. This large creature evolved in this high-oxygen environment.

Ke Lan had to admit that this kind of environment with high oxygen content was indeed very suitable for so-called training. It must be that the reason why those second generation people can have such a high survival rate must be related to this place.

What surprised Ke Lan even more was that the air here did not have the rusty or fishy smell he expected. When he inhaled, a refreshing fragrance instantly poured into his nasal cavity, which scared him. He quickly held his breath again.

Fragrant things are not necessarily harmless things. As far as he knows, many toxic gases contain hydrocarbons, many of which are aromatic hydrocarbons with fragrance.

The most famous among them is the S28 military special poison used by field troops to eliminate large numbers of indigenous creatures. This poison volatilizes into the air and reacts with oxygen to produce a sweet fragrance. But when the human olfactory system smells this smell, it is actually too late to rescue. The toxin will quickly penetrate into the respiratory mucosa and then enter the blood...

I don't seem to feel dizzy or nauseous...

He tried taking another breath, but there was still no sign of poisoning. Instead, he felt refreshed and his mind became clearer.

There's something wrong with this smell! Ke Lan knew that this was definitely not his own psychological effect. This feeling was real. What frightened him the most was that after experiencing this feeling, his body couldn't help but want to continue breathing... ...This scent, just like that kind of illegal drug, is extremely addictive!

Ke Lan stopped where he was, and the followers also stopped and looked back at him.

What's wrong? The servant of God turned around and asked.

I'm just... a little surprised. I've never, never seen anything like this. Ke Lan pretended to be stuttering in surprise, but what he said was the truth - even if it was In the ruins of Alpha Civilization, this kind of strange sight is extremely rare.

Don't use...'thing' to describe...the great god. The servant of the god said.

What?! Ke Lan's eyelids twitched involuntarily, This... this is... the great god?!

Yes. What you see is part of His body. The servant of God replied.

Is the great god a fleshy membrane covering the inner wall of the space station? No...no, this is just a part extending from its body. As for its body, it should not be in this state...

Then its body...is it deep in Area E, or is it in Area F, which is farther away?

Could it be that the temperature and oxygen here are also the work of this great god? Ke Lan suddenly understood the residents living in the sick village - a creature like this that could protect them from extreme cold and high temperatures, produce a large amount of oxygen, and not show hostility to them, was indeed It is easy to win the favor of local people.

Coupled with the fact that this substance is addictive after just one puff, it doesn’t seem surprising that these people worship it.

Heretical sects on the ground have a method of using Meng Zao incense to control believers, and the power of this thing is much stronger than Meng Zao.

Ke Lan was thinking as he took a half-step towards the ground covered by the flesh membrane... However, just when he was about to step down, his feet were hovering in mid-air.

That... Lord Servant of God... stepping on the body of the great god, is that considered disrespectful to him? Ke Lan asked tentatively.

This is a gift from the great god to his people. You don't have to worry. The servant of God paused and continued, Moreover, when our life journey reaches the end, we will merge with him... What is beneath our feet is not only the body of a great god, but also the body of our former compatriots...and from now on, you and I will also become a part of it.

... Ke Lan silently glanced at the flesh membrane on the ground. It seems that this great god not only has the functions of air conditioning and oxygen concentrator, but is also equivalent to an organic matter recovery furnace? And these fleshy membranes covering every corner should be transformed from the corpses of people who died on the space station.

I don't know why, but the fear in Ke Lan's heart suddenly faded a lot, and was replaced by strong curiosity.

His foot finally stepped on the flesh membrane - he was not mistaken just now. The moment he stepped on it, the flesh membrane did squirm slightly.

These fleshy membranes are alive, not dead like the stratum corneum.

Ke Lan could feel that the fleshy membrane under his feet seemed to have become a little harder to support his weight and prevent the surface from collapsing.

When you enter the abode of God, the great God will be able to feel your presence. The servant of God watched Ke Lan step into the area covered by flesh membrane and said, If you are like that person just now, Just like heretics, they are filthy things coming from the ground. The moment He senses you, you are already dead.

Fortunately, I'm not. Ke Lan thought to himself. If the person who just won was the missionary, I'm afraid entering the place would be tantamount to falling into a trap - even a divine servant can easily kill the Corrosion Seed instantly. , Ke Lan has no doubt that this great god has the ability to kill missionaries instantly.

Perhaps, the seeds of erosion in the missionary's body would not even have the chance to enter the period of rapid change.

But Ke Lan also realized one thing. If things change and Ivan and Layton are needed for support, Ivan must not be allowed to enter Area E as a last resort - part of his body has also been eroded. Although these infected cells have not yet generated nuclei and although these cells have been suppressed by the implanted stalagmite fragments, there is no guarantee that they will not be discovered by this great god.

The servant of God led them further into the depths. Along the way, Ke Lan continuously activated his time-stop skills, recording the scenes in this area frame by frame like taking pictures, and then analyzed them in his mind - he It was found that although this area E was completely covered by the flesh membrane, the internal space was extremely empty. Almost all the equipment in the space station was emptied. I don’t know whether it was emptied by the original construction team or by the local people.

Of course, there are some things that cannot be moved away - such as those giant glass columns that are as thick as four or five people's arms and connected to the ceiling and floor... However, these glass columns are also covered with thick fleshy membranes, which makes people feel uncomfortable. There is no view inside the pillar.

This space station was originally built for scientific research, and the research projects naturally included biological experiments. According to the ancient design drawing, the large biological laboratory was built in Area E. .

In fact, those glass columns are not simply made of glass, but are huge petri dishes. After those at the institute captured the indigenous creatures of Alpha Planet on the ground, some of them were sent to the space station to observe these Changes of organisms in the space environment...

Could this great god have escaped from the biological laboratory of the space station?

[P.S. Thanks to Xi Zhang for the 1,500 starting coins.

In addition, there is no hope of getting more work today... The electric drill for the decoration upstairs has stopped, and I have started hammering with a big hammer. The sound of the saw is like fingernails scraping a blackboard. It makes me feel uncomfortable all over. Now it only lasts more than a day.
