Alien Relic Hunter

This wall of ice is easily reminiscent of the freezers used by humans to refrigerate food... But the meat frozen in the wall is impossible to associate with the ingredients in the freezer...

These "meat" - let's call them "meat" - all have extremely strange and terrifying appearances: the first piece of meat is covered with eyes, and the eyeballs in the eyes are of different sizes, and some have only one eye socket. There are eight eyeballs, some with three or four squeezed together. Some eyeballs seem to come from mammals on the earth, but some are compound eyes unique to insects; the second piece of meat has one eyeball that takes up almost three thirds. The mouth is as big as one in size. There are teeth everywhere in the mouth, even the tongue and palate. The third piece of meat has an irregular cyst shape, which looks like a huge... The tumor, through the bulging transparent surface, can be seen to be filled with milky white ovoid objects...

"What the hell are these things..." Layton only felt his throat tightening. Fortunately, he only ate a little semi-liquid emergency food after the crash, so he didn't vomit directly.

"I don't know." Ke Lan shook his head slowly, "I guess it may be the food of the Alpha Planet... No, if it is food, it should be cultivated in batches. The differences between individuals should not be so huge..."

Ke Lan thought, he always felt that these pieces of meat were not unfamiliar... Where should he have seen them... in some documents? Or is it a video... or is it a dream?

"Food? Are the Alphas too heavy-handed?" Layton gasped, and the breath he exhaled quickly condensed into patches of white frost. "I think... these monsters may have been created by their experiments. stuff, and this place is a cold room used to store experimental specimens... Let me tell you, the biological laboratory on the Ark does the same thing. We caught the indigenous creatures from outside and brought them to the Ark, and the scientists took them Stuff it into a freezing tank, then sink it into a liquid nitrogen pool to preserve it...it's exactly the same as this!"

"...Is there any way to cut through the ice?" Ke Lan suddenly turned around and asked.

Layton was startled by these words: "What are you going to do? Dig these ghosts out? Who knows whether they are alive or dead?!"

"I always feel that these things are related to the piece of meat that turned into a hound before. If we cut through the ice wall, maybe we will find more." Ke Lan said.

"But we may also be eaten by living monsters!" Layton firmly disagreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light beam emitted from the mechanical arm went out after a burst of flashes. Darkness returned to the passage again, and the numbing pieces of flesh were once again hidden in the black ice.

"...The energy consumption of this concentrated mode is higher than that of diffusion..." Layton complained, digging out a waste crystal that had exhausted its energy from the mechanical arm, and then took out a new crystal. Changed in.

"Let's not talk about whether I agree with your idea or not. Even if we want to dig, we have no tools and no energy. How can we dig? A hand plane?" Leighton sighed, "I left it with Lao Gou and the others before we separated. Part of it crystallized, and now we have less than fifty units left in our hands. This number is really not enough, and my mechanical prosthetic body needs to be driven by this thing. If it runs out, I will be considered useless."

"It seems we are unlucky," Leighton continued, "I have been here for so long and I haven't even seen a single crystal... Hey, why are you staring at me?"

"Watch your back...don't turn your head too fast, and be mentally prepared." Ke Lan whispered. He was not staring at Layton, but was attracted by something behind Layton.

"...Oh." Layton was stunned for a moment, nodded angrily, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his cheek and dripped on the armor on his chest.

Even though he turned his head very slowly, and even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw those huge eyes, his heart still skipped a beat——

"...I...grass..."

A huge eyeball with a diameter of one meter was looking at Leighton who turned around through a thin layer of ice!

"Get ready to run. This thing wasn't here just now. Just when you were replacing the crystal, it appeared... It seems to have the ability to move freely in the ice..."

There was only a thin layer of black ice blocking the big eyeball, and it seemed like it could break free from it at any time and enter the passage where Leighton and Ke Lan were.

"...Run?...Where to run?" Layton also lowered his voice, for fear of alarming this thing.

"You can't run back." Ke Lan pointed to the front of the passage with his eyes.

"...What if there is something like this in front of me?"

"Then what if we run back and this thing chases us? What will Lao Gou and Ivan do?" Ke Lan asked.

"This..." Layton gritted his teeth, "How about we fight? Isn't it just an eyeball..."

"Do you have to choose the last resort? Wait...it doesn't seem to have noticed us?" Ke Lan suddenly noticed that the eyeball seemed to slowly change its direction and start to move downward.

The side of the eyeball was exposed to the sight of the two people. They discovered that the eyeball was not independent. There were many fleshy hoses as thick as arms connected to its back. There were blue-black veins under the hoses, which looked like They are blood vessels beneath the cortex.

As for where these fleshy hoses lead to and what they are connected to, that is not what they can see.

"...It...where is it going?" Layton still didn't dare to move, and his whole body was frozen.

"I don't know, but do you feel... this thing, it seems to be patrolling..."

"When you put it like that, it really sounds like that... just like... the surveillance camera in the cold storage, but that thing can only move on the slide rail." Layton breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go. We weren't discovered this time. Maybe we won't be so lucky next time." After the eyeballs completely sank into the ground, and even the fleshy hose growing behind them was completely submerged in the darkness, the two of them carefully moved out. A small step.

"Huh... I'm scared to death... Fortunately, those eyes are so big, but the eyes are not very good, otherwise it would be really troublesome this time." Layton sighed.

"It should have been attracted by the strong light we released before. At that time, the energy was exhausted and the light went out. We were lucky enough to escape." Ke Lan said, he wiped his forehead and filled his hands with It's all tiny ice particles formed from sweat.

"We are better off... let's go, let's go, I don't want to stay in this place for a second longer."
