Alien Relic Hunter

"Who is it?!" The leader of the heretical sect got up from the ground with some difficulty. Only then did Ke Lan notice that there were more than a dozen bloody holes in his body!

Although in less than two seconds, these blood holes were filled up with the crazy growth of flesh sprouts, judging from his extremely pale face, it was obvious that he had been severely injured.

"Chiron! That's not your ability!" He roared in shock and anger, "There is a fourth person here! Come out!"

"How is it? How does it feel to be defeated by something you created?" Chiron said, with a hint of smile in his tone.

"The thing that was created by oneself..." The man was stunned for a moment, then looked around in disbelief, "Is it the half-finished product? Is she still alive? This... this is impossible!"

"That semi-finished product?" Ke Lan was also a little confused after hearing the word. It wasn't because he didn't know what the "semi-finished product" referred to... On the contrary, it was because he knew that he was shocked.

Just now, Ke Lan mentioned this thing in the conversation with that person. Although neither party explained it, everyone present knew that the "semi-finished product" naturally refers to the iron body that was on the top floor of Arasaka Tower. Something in a virgin.

In order to destroy that thing, the Undead Crew even abandoned the entire East Nine District module... Logically speaking, that thing should have died under the bombardment of the Ark's main cannon...

Is it still alive?

Ke Lan remembered the "nightmare" he had had during the Mecha Competition, and the erratic "coordinates"...

That's all true!

Although Ke Lan didn't know how that thing affected his dreams, it was no longer important.

It's not that Ke Lan has never wanted to find out more about this "coordinate", but he also knows the risks involved... But now, before he has made any preparations, he has to face the call in his dream. source of sound.

"It really caught people off guard." Ke Lan said with a helpless smile.

"She is indeed still alive." Chiron's voice rang in Ke Lan's mind, "In the few seconds before the East Nine District module was completely destroyed, she had already broken free from the altar built by the Six Warriors, thereby avoiding Main gun lock on"

"Is the thing in the Iron Maiden here now?" Ke Lan asked quickly.

Chiron did not answer his question directly, but continued the topic just now: "Although she is only a semi-finished product, compared with that inferior mass-produced biological weapon, the completion level of the two is completely different. level, although she was affected by the aftermath of the Ark's main gun, not only did she not die, but she also used this opportunity to complete a transformation."

Inferior mass-produced biological weapons...could they refer to seeds of erosion? Ke Lan clearly remembered that in those memory fragments, it was clearly recorded that the seeds of erosion could not survive in a vacuum environment for a long time. So, it seems that this "semi-finished product" can survive in space?

However, Ke Lan can still accept this. As long as the physical strength of the creature itself is sufficient, survival in space is not a particularly powerful thing. Let alone the existence of the prehistoric species that subverts common sense, even those who besieged them at the beginning The "Pioneer" icebreaker's deep-sea giant eels can do it.

The institute once captured an immature deep-sea giant eel. In order to explore the adaptability limit of this creature, in the final stage of the experiment, they directly used an airship to send the deep-sea giant eel outside the atmosphere, and then sent it Thrown out of the cabin—in the vacuum, extremely cold, and radiation-filled space environment, the giant deep-sea eel lived for a full week before its brain stopped functioning.

Even so, when its brain was declared dead, most of the organs in the body still maintained normal operation.

"She drifted in the low-Earth orbit of Alpha Star for several days, until this space station passed her drifting orbit." Chiron continued, "I had already discovered her at that time, and I planned to send her to the Ark. Report this situation, but she moved faster than me - she destroyed the three drones I sent for communication, and then invaded the interior of the space station... As you can see, my current picture The appearance is entirely due to her.”

Ke Lan suddenly understood everything - the reason why the coordinates he felt in his dream were "erratic" was because the space station was constantly rotating around Alpha Star. This coordinate was not static, but Constantly changing with the relative position of the space station and the ground!

And Chiron also said that his body became like this because of the "semi-finished product", so the rotten and necrotic tentacles of the Wall of Flesh can be fully explained - after all, Ke Lan Having absorbed some of the black liquid from that "semi-finished product", it's not surprising that his blood can have similar special effects.

At this moment, Ke Lan heard the whimpering call again, but this time, the call no longer seemed ethereal, the voice seemed to come from his ears!

"You finally came."

This was a young girl's voice. At this moment, the whimpers, sobs, grunts and the words "Help me" that Ke Lan had heard all came together... "That's her!" In Ke Lan's head Such an idea came up subconsciously.

Although these sounds seem to be quite different when heard separately, especially the shrill cry like a baby that appeared in the nightmare, it is even more different in timbre and tone from the sounds heard in the East 9th District before. There is a huge difference. But the moment the words "You are finally here" rang out in his mind, he felt that the voices he heard before seemed to all become the same person... If the word "person" can be used to describe it, That thing.

Compared to Ke Lan, the leader of the heretical sect seemed to be even more shocked. His body was trembling slightly and he kept repeating the words "This is impossible."

Suddenly, his right arm that turned into a black spear exploded without any warning, as if a huge force burst out from the inside out, and those black tentacles turned into the sky in the blink of an eye. Thick pus and blood flew all over the floor like dense raindrops.

As soon as the pus and blood came into contact with the fleshy membrane on the ground, they reacted violently, just like adding dilute hydrochloric acid to sodium bicarbonate, and a large number of bubbles emerged from the mixture. As these bubbles burst, an unbearable fishy smell spread out in the space.

Ke Lan quickly took out the gas mask he got from the fire cabinet and put it on his face.
