Alien Relic Hunter

At twelve o'clock sharp, the tail and bottom of the "Greece" began to spray blue flames. The support cantilevers on both sides of the dock slowly opened, and the eighty-two anchors used to support the hull were unlocked at the same time - " The area ahead has been cleared, please follow the laser guidance line and exit the airport." The voice of the airport controller came from the control tower, and the "Greece" began to accelerate gradually, flying towards the outside along the two green lasers emitted from the control tower.

"It's really stable." Hound glanced at the dock and command tower that were retreating on the live screen. Although the "Greece" was accelerating, the people sitting in the empty ship restaurant could not feel any vibration at all. Not even a drop of water in the cup was spilled.

"I just checked the information about the 'Mirage-class' high-speed airship. In order to allow passengers to enjoy the most comfortable journey, 75% of the cabins inside this airship are suspended structures, consisting of four large Controlled by the anti-gravity device, even if the ship is directly hit by a missile, as long as the outer shell is not penetrated, even if the entire airship turns over in the sky, the cabin can still remain in a state of absolute balance." Leighton said, "Many large warships are now designed like this, in order to minimize the impact of the external environment on the crew members in fierce battles... However, the cost of this thing is very high, so it has not been popularized in the civilian field. Come."

"It's great to have money." Ivan said, silently taking a sip of the 96-degree "water of life."

"Okay, it's time to get down to business." Hound picked up a corner of the tablecloth, wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and then looked at Ke Lan.

"Psychic attack." Ke Lan nodded to him, "Those crazy ruin hunters were mentally attacked under the sinkhole."

"When I tried to use Alpha language to 'communicate' with those patients, without exception, they all showed very strong reactions... It can be seen that Alpha language is likely to be the source of stimulation for their illness, that is, this A carrier of spiritual attack methods." Ke Lan continued.

"If mental attacks are in Alpha language, people like me can't hear it at all. Why would it have an impact on those who are crazy?" Zhuoligetu asked in confusion.

"We can't hear infrasound and ultrasonic waves either, but that doesn't prevent us from making them into weapons." Layton crossed his arms and said seriously.

"But it's precisely because ordinary people can't hear it," Ke Lan nodded, "So this mental attack, like the sonic weapon, has a strong concealment. At the same time, it also has a certain delay - being attacked It often takes a few days for patients to notice the abnormality, and then they are quickly swallowed up by nightmares.”

"Nightmare? Are you saying that this kind of mental attack method creates a nightmare in our heads and scares us crazy? So...the nightmares they had before going crazy are the key?! "Hound's reaction was quick, and he instantly caught the key word "nightmare" in Ke Lan's words.

In the information provided by ACMS_0420, it was also mentioned that these crazy hunters were completely mentally disturbed and suffered from nightmares... But in the eyes of most people, nightmares are the most serious thing that makes people fall into a state of nervousness. In a weak state, it is simply impossible to drive a normal person completely crazy in just a few days.

Ke Lan said: "Yes, the main reason why these hunters go crazy is indeed because of nightmares, but the neural attack from the sinkhole does not create a new nightmare, but digs out the most fearful things in people's hearts and makes them concrete. Transformation and infinite amplification... I made a rough calculation and found that those hunters with serious psychological shadows are basically the first batch to fall into madness."

"Then does this mean that the more courageous you are, the less susceptible you are to being affected?" The hound glanced at Layton, "A guy with a weak brain like a big guy should be completely immune to this kind of mental attack, right?"

"Nearly half of the relic hunters who came back from the sinkhole were not affected at all... I didn't have time to investigate these people one by one." Ke Lan picked up a drop of sauce on the plate with a fork and dripped it into After reaching a glass of water, the dark brown sauce suddenly smudged in the water and formed a cloudy mist. "I'm not sure whether these people are not crazy because their mental health is better, or because they have better mental health," he said. Because they were not mentally attacked at all.”

"Ke Lan." The hound came to the opposite side of Ke Lan and looked directly into his eyes. "If it were you, do you think this kind of mental attack would be effective on you?"

"I don't know, but I think there's a high probability it won't be effective."

"Why."

"It's like I had a nightmare. If there was a voice in the dark telling me that this nightmare would come true in the future, I might be half-convinced, but if Layton came over and told me that this dream would come true, then I I just feel like his brain is convulsing - I can understand Alpha language, so I can use my own consciousness to fight against it." Ke Lan paused and continued, "So, I decided that during this exploration operation , let me be the vanguard.”

Vanguard, this is the most important and dangerous position among ruin hunters. In a hunting group, only the most experienced and agile elites can assume this responsibility. In return, the reward for the vanguard hunter is also the entire The tallest in the team.

If it is a temporarily formed team, the hunter who serves as the vanguard will have priority in selecting the loot by default.

"If you think it's okay, then I have no objection." Hound said. Although Ke Lan is not the top one among them in terms of skill and experience, he has the ability to understand Alpha language and stop time. He is undoubtedly the best candidate for Pioneer.

"The more capable the better, the more reward", this is a rule that most hunting groups will follow.

…

The speed of the "Greece" was much faster than that of the Amran-class transport aircraft. In less than ten hours, it took Ke Lan and the others to the area where the two ruins of "A-087" and "S-018" were located. above.

Nearly one-third of the volume of the previously majestic glacier has disappeared. As for the original entrance to the A-087 ruins, the black crack has completely disappeared. In its place, there is a huge The edge of the sinkhole is a nearly vertical cliff formed by solid ice, extending into the bottomless darkness.
