Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the end of the passage.

For some reason, he suddenly couldn't feel the fear anymore. It was as if a certain emotion called "fear" had been extracted from his body.

It's useless to escape... Now he chooses to turn around and run away, and he will probably be buried here with his companions... Those who were locked together with the control center, in addition to this mecha, also included this ruins. Every exit.

This is like being chased by carnivorous creatures in the wilderness. You can't escape the predator chasing behind you by running away. Human physical strength is absolutely incomparable to the indigenous creatures on Alpha Planet... only His only chance of survival was to turn around and wave his fist at the hunter before his physical strength was exhausted by the long chase.

Courage is not the same as recklessness, it is one of the most valuable qualities of human beings.

Ke Lan remembered that he had seen this sentence somewhere - "The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!" Although he couldn't recall the source for a while, as long as he understood this, he suddenly felt the breath of his whole body. Everything has become smoother.

It was like his nose, which had been stuffed for a long time, was suddenly blown open... Although the metaphor was a bit strange, this was what he felt.

In his hand, he grabbed an extremely sharp metal bar that was broken off from the breach in the passage, and walked to the door of the huge round door in a few steps - this huge door was ajar, and the precise combination lock had been blocked. A certain corrosive substance dissolved until only a base was left. As for the defense measures against violent unlockers, they were not triggered at all.

"Corrosive substances... It seems that the thing can travel through the ice, perhaps not entirely relying on physical strength..."

Maybe that thing is not as scary as first thought.

"Afraid? Afraid of a hammer... It's useless to be afraid." Ke Lan took a deep breath, and then kicked open the door of the control center.

"Boom!!"

The thick alloy door immediately fell inward and hit the ground heavily - Ke Lan finally knew why the defensive measures were not triggered: the connecting bolts and safety locks on both sides of the door were connected with the machinery used to trigger the mechanism. The structure was completely dissolved by the corrosive substances that seeped into it, and the entire door had become a decoration.

"Is this the real core center of the ruins..."

What caught Ke Lan's eyes was a deep well about a hundred meters in diameter. In the center of the deep well, there was a metal pillar as thick as a dozen people's arms. Corresponding to the metal pillar, there were densely packed pillars embedded in the well wall. crystal circuit board.

The area and fineness of these crystal circuit boards far exceed any similar products that Ke Lan has ever seen. Countless tiny streams of light are flowing in these crystal circuit boards, and from time to time, a few slender arcs will be emitted from them. Collision with the metal pillar in the center.

The higher you go, the denser the arc emission frequency becomes. Looking up, you can only see a dazzling blue-purple power grid that is constantly flashing.

Ke Lan's first impression of this place was that it was like a large server room, and the metal pillar in the middle was an extra-large Tesla coil.

But now is not the time to care about this - just above Ke Lan's head, a very fast black shadow has passed through the layers of blue-purple power grid and rushed towards him!

The first moment he discovered the black shadow, Ke Lan had already activated time stop, but what shocked him was that as soon as the surrounding scene was frozen, the black shadow's sharp claws instantly tore open the stagnant space, forcing Ke Lan’s skills were eliminated!

The things in the field of vision have not even completely transformed into black and white, but have returned to their original colors.

This is the first time that I have encountered an opponent who can counter "Time Stop"!

"Now we're in trouble..." Ke Lan gritted his teeth and controlled the Blasphemer mecha to run around the metal pillar - however, the other party seemed to have locked him, and no matter how hard he tried to dodge, he couldn't escape. Taking off the falling shadow, he could only watch helplessly as the distance between the two quickly shortened.

Ke Lan had no choice but to squat down and cross his arms in front of him, intending to bear the impact.

But just when the black shadow was about to collide with the Blasphemer mecha, he suddenly jumped to the side of the mecha and whipped a long tail towards the mecha.

"What a pity." Ke Lan sighed secretly in his heart, jumped back a big step, and showed the metal bar that was originally hidden under his arm. His original plan was to kill the black shadow the moment it hit him. A metal bar stands upright, and with the help of the opponent's momentum, this move may be able to severely damage him in one fell swoop...

However, this move was seen through by the shadow.

However, Ke Lan finally saw the true face of this dark shadow.

It was a creature that was nearly ten meters long and looked like a lizard. But unlike the lizard, its body surface did not have scales, but was covered with a mixture of dark black and dark green hairs.

There is a layer of hard exoskeleton outside its skull, which protects the entire head. There are eight symmetrical holes on both sides of the exoskeleton, exposing four pairs of red eyes.

There are deep wounds everywhere on its body, and fishy pus and blood are constantly dripping from these wounds - these wounds are constantly festering, but at the same time they are also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after those new flesh sprouts grew out, they immediately melted into pus... Destruction and rebirth actually maintained a delicate balance in this monster.

The head-up display of the Blasphemer mecha has locked this "lizard", and the label that pops up next to the lock box is "Experimental Subject No. 1197."

"Is this what it is..."

Ke Lan stared closely at the big lizard not far away, and changed the metal bar in his right hand to his left hand - in terms of power, the left and right hands of the mecha are the same, but in terms of operating habits, Ke Lan will be more accustomed to the right hand . Compared to simple poking movements, the free hand requires greater flexibility.

Although this lizard looks like a common indigenous creature in the wilderness, how can a creature that can tear apart stagnant time with a pair of sharp claws be an ordinary character?

If "time stop" is a cheat-level ability, then the other party obviously has the same level of ability... This is no longer something that humans can understand at this stage. This is an existence that completely subverts the laws of physics. That pair of bone claws Although it seems ordinary, in Ke Lan's opinion, it is more troublesome than a prehistoric behemoth like Leviathan.

Since this claw can tear apart time, no one knows whether it can pierce space - maybe, as long as it stretches out its hand and pulls it out, it can easily remove Ke Lan's heart from the mecha and from him. The inside of the body was dug out.

Characters with this kind of ability are generally called "bad guys" on the Internet.

Even though Ke Lan can be regarded as a semi-cheating character, when he actually encounters such a cheating character who can't even act, he will still be suppressed to death.

This just confirms an old Chinese saying: "A small witch can see a big witch."

But when the little witch in ancient times bumped into the big witch, the little witch could at least "give up", but now, Ke Lan has no chance to retreat.

Stopping time is the ultimate move that Ke Lan relies on to win in close combat, but now that this ultimate move has been completely countered by the opponent, the only trump card in his hand is the "blasphemer mecha".

The armor strength of the Blasphemer mecha may be higher than that of the black ice outside... But the problem is that Ke Lan doesn't know what other methods the other party has... The level of physical strength may be different from the monster in front of him. In his eyes, it is meaningless.

Just when Ke Lan was desperately thinking about countermeasures, the other party—the "big lizard" and the "Experimental Subject No. 1197" in Alpha's mouth—suddenly spoke!

"You...you are not them...although it is very similar...but you are not them." it said.

This is not the language of Alpha civilization, nor the language of the human world. It is directly communicating with Ke Lan using thinking. In "this sentence", Ke Lan can even clearly feel the emotions contained in it... That It is an emotion between disgust and hatred, but the main object of this emotion is not him.

"What you are talking about...are the Alpha people?" Ke Lan asked tentatively.

The other party can communicate, which is not a bad thing for Ke Lan... Although intelligent creatures are more difficult to deal with than simple beasts, at least you can "reason" with intelligent creatures. Ke Lan feels that if Yes, I might be able to avoid a battle where the winning rate is almost zero.

"Alpha people? You call them Alpha people?" The tone of Experiment No. 1197 was full of contempt, "They are just a group of pitiful bugs! You... although you are very similar to them... but you are better than They are weaker... This is so funny... When I woke up, the bugs were all gone... replaced by a group of weaker bugs."

"We were just forced to land on this planet..." Ke Lan did not refute the other party's words. First of all, he did not want to anger the big lizard. Secondly, what the other party said was actually not wrong... Human beings are indeed very weak. . If even the Alphas are a bunch of bugs in its eyes, then humans may not even be considered bugs.

From a certain point of view, the rhetoric chosen by this big lizard is actually promoting human beings.

"Their disappearance has nothing to do with you... maybe it has nothing to do with you..." Experimental Subject No. 1197 walked towards the Blasphemer mecha, "Although I don't know why you can activate those bug things, but you do It has nothing to do with any of this.”

"I want to know...what happened to the Alpha civilization back then...why did they disappear?" Although the visitor was unkind, this big lizard was indeed the first one Ke Lan encountered on the Alpha planet that could communicate. An intelligent creature, driven by the desire for knowledge, he couldn't help but ask.

"They disappeared...how did I know...I was sealed in a low temperature where even molecules would stop moving...until today...the moment all the equipment here was restarted, I seized the slightest chance and Before the temperature dropped to absolute zero again, I escaped from it..."

As Experimental Subject No. 1197 spoke, he crawled towards the metal pillar standing in the center. Its sharp claws cut through the hard metal pillar like tofu, and pulled out a glass jar that was as tall as a person. Come.

This glass jar is exactly what the mercenary described. Although Ke Lan has never seen it with his own eyes, the diameter of the jar and the slot at the bottom of the jar that was dragged out of the metal pillar by the big lizard are just right. It matched the base on the stone platform outside - if the trial program of the ruins did not deceive him, then the contents of this jar were one-third of the ruins' database.

"Perhaps I should thank you. It was your intrusion that activated and restarted the core center here... Without you, it would probably take me a long time to get out of trouble... But I won't thank you, just like they say Just like those who believe in gods, God may occasionally lower his head and take a look at those little bugs struggling in the mud...but God will never thank bugs, no matter what they have done."

The large lizard cut open the top of the glass jar with its claws, and the filling liquid inside immediately splashed to the ground. It stretched out its claws and pulled out a group of gray-white tissue that was still squirming like a brain from the jar, and then Swallow it in one gulp.

"It's a pity... there is no answer you want here... I can't answer your question." Experimental Subject No. 1197 said, "But I don't have to kill you... because you make me feel... sometimes , little bugs are still very interesting.”

"Maybe I will change my mind in the next second, but at least for now, I won't kill you." It continued.

"Uh... there are some of my companions outside. If you can, I hope you won't kill them." Ke Lan said, "Although it was an unintentional act, at least I freed you... as a token of expectation. In exchange for our lives, this is reasonable, right?"

"Equivalent exchange? Interesting... I think you are more interesting than those bugs back then... But what makes me wonder is... why are those bugs outside your companions?" Experiment No. 1197 tilted his head and said The four eyes on his side were staring at the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha, "You and them... are obviously not the same kind... In my opinion, you are closer to the bugs that lived on this planet back then... Why do you think of them as your companions?"

"...Can't we be companions if we are not the same kind?" Ke Lan was not too surprised by the big lizard's words. After obtaining the inheritance in the stone tablet and absorbing the thing called a "holy object" by the heretical sect, After that, he knew that he was very different from ordinary people - apart from other things, which normal human being would have the ability to "stop time"?

"No, they should be food, or slaves, to you."
