Alien Relic Hunter

"I always feel like there's something staring at us from somewhere we can't see... Tsk... This feeling is really fucking unpleasant." The old dog walked to Ke Lan's side and pointed directly in front of him. In the dark passage, "How about... just blast it all the way with artillery shells and cover it with indiscriminate firepower?"

"Would that alert the enemy?" Ivan asked. He obviously didn't agree with this plan.

"Indeed... if we can force those things out, then this plan is not bad, but what if we blow up all the way and nothing happens? If we go further, it will be called 'no return' by the miners The labyrinth's network of tunnels is so complex that even if all the reserves in the entire base are brought in, I'm afraid we can only clear a small area... For the entire mine, it's almost a drop in the bucket." Ke Lan shook his head, based on what he had collected previously. From the information and clues obtained, it can be inferred that the creatures hidden deep in the mines should have extremely high IQs... They are not ordinary beasts and are not so easily fooled.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a special individual commanding those creatures. If this is the case, then this special individual should be a highly intelligent creature with an intelligence level no less than that of humans.

A higher intelligent creature...could there be an Alpha with clear consciousness surviving in Leviathan's body?

Ke Lan himself was startled by this idea, but when he thought about it again, he felt that the possibility was too slim: there were no traces of Alpha people in so many ruins of Alpha civilization. How could there be a living Alpha human inside the body of a giant beast?

Assume that an Alpha is swallowed by a living Leviathan - based on the data estimated by the Ark's core computer and converting the energy crystals of all the proven mineral veins into heat energy, the body of this giant beast will be It is equivalent to a big melting pot that is undergoing nuclear fusion reactions all the time. Let alone the Alpha people, even if the seeds of erosion are thrown into it, they will not survive for a second... not even the residue will be left.

As for the Leviathan after death, the Alphas obviously did not exploit its remains - no traces of mining were found in any of the mines. Even this ecological circle formed based on the remains of Leviathan has not experienced any interference from the outside world except humans.

This is a cemetery, as it is for Leviathan, and it is also the case for Alpha Civilization.

Unfortunately, most of the Alpha civilization documents unearthed from the ruins have been sealed in the core research institute, and Ke Lan has no access to them. The few clues that he can access based on his authority are not even clues.

Leviathan...or rather, what kind of existence do those "prehistoric species" behemoths that exist on this planet have to Alpha Civilization?

An enemy that threatens survival? Is it a god to worship? Or...are they animals kept in captivity by the Alphas?

Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the illusion he saw underground on the desert island... In the space behind the rusty airtight door, a giant beast of the prehistoric species was once imprisoned there by the Alpha people...

Or are these prehistoric species living on Planet Alpha actually the creations of Alpha Civilization?

Ke Lan lowered his head and glanced at the hard rocky ground under his feet. He couldn't connect it with the word creature. If the Alpha civilization had already surpassed these primitive species, then the "god" they worshiped , what kind of existence would it be?

If only I could have a chance to see those precious documents...

Thinking of this, a trace of doubt emerged in Ke Lan's heart... Would it be a wrong decision to hide his special ability?

If he chooses to cooperate with the Ark officials, not to mention all of the sealed Alpha civilization documents are translated, as long as he can decipher a part of them, the impact on the entire human world will be immeasurable... and may even rewrite the story of human beings. The future destiny of the race...

But he also knew very well in his heart that if he chose to confess, he would face a complete loss of personal freedom... and even a loss of dignity and life. The reason why human beings can survive in disasters that are enough to cause extinction is because of human beings. A rational and almost cruel decision was implemented: all those who could board Noah's Ark were "excellent humans" who had been genetically selected. Except for these seeds, other people were mercilessly abandoned there. On a planet that is about to be destroyed.

Even the leaders of the major forces who led the construction project of the Ark were classified as "abandoned". They handed over their power to younger and better descendants, and they themselves chose to be with humanity. Their home planet is heading towards death together.

Survival is the instinct of living things, and Ke Lan is no exception. He knows that he is just an ordinary person. He has no lofty ideals and ambitions, nor does he have the lofty ideological consciousness of those great men... He is just an ordinary person.

However, when this ability comes to him, can he still be considered an ordinary person?

Among the old movies he had watched, there was one called "Spider-Man". There was a sentence in it that impressed him deeply: "With great power comes great responsibility." Translated into Chinese, it means: With great power comes great responsibility. The bigger.

Ke Lan was slightly shaken...

But, do I really have to bear this responsibility for this inexplicably obtained ability? This responsibility that could even cost you... your life?

Isn't there a third option?

The more Ke Lan thought about it, the more irritated he became, but at this moment, the vibration detector suddenly recalled the sharp alarm sound, interrupting his thoughts——

"Be careful, there seems to be something in front of you." Ke Lan immediately put those messy thoughts behind his mind, activated the energy shield on the armor, and assumed a posture to meet the attack.

"I didn't see anything." Old Dog said solemnly, but after saying this, he also activated the energy shield.

"Me too." Layton took a step back and stood in front of Asano Akira and Ivan.

"A very subtle vibration." Ke Lan glanced at the instrument's display screen, "Directly in front, at a distance of sixty-five meters, the vibration frequency is 0.33 seconds every time, and sixteen points appear alternately, with a high degree of consistency... …Probably some kind of arthropod.”

"It's approaching, only fifty meters away from us." Ke Lan held his breath.

"Forty-five meters."

"Forty meters."

"Thirty-five...Old dog, launch a flare, and the impact point is 20 meters directly ahead."

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the hound had already pulled the trigger. With a "bang", a can-sized illumination bomb shot out from the barrel of the grenade launcher and landed on the ground twenty meters away accurately. , accompanied by a soft "stab" sound, the high-intensity light emitted by the burning metal suddenly illuminated the entire tunnel like daylight!
