Alien Relic Hunter

With the friendly force identification module, the space shuttle approached the "Greece" airship without being attacked at all.

The hangar door of the "Greece" was open, which saved the step of hacking into the electronic lock. Under Layton's control, the space shuttle parked directly into the hangar.

"Prepare to connect to the hangar control system, close the hangar door, and Ivan and I will be responsible for the oxygen supply device." Ke Lan said to Layton, then stood up from his seat and looked towards Ivan Waved.

Although Chiron's men are not weak in strength, their equipment can only be described as "crude". Even the servant wearing the "Bronze Hammer" has lost more than 90% of its power armor. Function, the only ones who can move in a vacuum environment are the four Ke Lans wearing space suits or new armor.

But just as Ke Lan walked towards the airtight cabin, Ze Luo followed her. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the armed belt around Ke Lan's waist that was used to carry the magazine. Although she didn't speak, she The look on her face already indicated what she meant: she wanted to go with Ke Lan.

Ze Luo has the ability to survive in space, which Ke Lan knows, but now her ability is already outrageous. If you add the ability to move freely in the space environment, even Ke Lan will not be able to survive in space. Now I know how to introduce the origin of this "monster" to my teammates.

"You should stay, there are no extra spacesuits for you." Ke Lan said, "I will be back soon, it only takes five minutes."

Although he still looked reluctant, Ze Luo finally let go of his hand.

"Sigh... I don't know if I have caused a big trouble for myself." Ke Lan sighed inwardly. Ze Luo's actual mental age is equivalent to that of a newly sensible human child. If he had always been obedient, it would be okay. I'm afraid that if one day the rebellious stage comes, then things may be beyond Ke Lan's control.

"I can't fight again and again, and I can't escape. I can only take one step at a time..."

…

…

The anti-intrusion system inside the "Greece" has been triggered once, and the circuits of all equipment in the hangar have been cut off. At this time, it is in a dark state, with only a few safety warning lights using independent power supplies. The lamp was still emitting a dark red light.

Ke Lan fumbled under the space shuttle engine for a while, opened a flap, and pulled out a cable from inside. If he wanted to restart the equipment in the hangar, other than going to the bridge, the only way was "physics". Invasion" is the way to go.

Ivan was guarding the surroundings with weapons in hand, while Ke Lan dragged the cables to the console in the corner of the hangar. He took out a dagger, first used the protrusion at the end of the handle to unscrew the screws on the access cover, and then inserted the tip of the knife into the gap to pry up the entire access cover.

"Leiden, get ready." Ke Lan said in the communication channel, and then plugged the cable in his hand into a spare socket in the console.

"The virus program is being written into the airship master control system. It is estimated to take thirteen minutes." Leighton's voice came from the earphones. Ke Lan raised his head, glanced at the dark console display, and said: " Prioritize intrusion into the hangar’s control module and close the door.”

"I know."

As soon as Layton finished speaking, the hangar door behind the space shuttle slowly closed. A dull fan sound sounded on the top of the hangar. Oxygen-containing air was being continuously pressed into the hangar by the blower.

"Can you turn on the lights?" Ke Lan looked around, "It's too dark here. I can't see anything clearly. It's too easy to be attacked."

"It doesn't seem to work..." Leighton said with some embarrassment, "The circuit of the lighting system seems to have malfunctioned. I see that the lights in the hangar are on, but they just don't light up..."

"Forget it, just turn on all the external searchlights of the space shuttle." Ke Lan said.

With a "swish" sound, several thick beams of light shot out from the space shuttle in an instant, illuminating most of the hangar like daylight. At this time, Ke Lan discovered that there were actually things on the floor and walls of the hangar. There was a large amount of blood stains remaining.

Due to the extremely low temperature in the universe, these blood stains have turned into ice, but precisely because of this, these blood stains have retained their original appearance very well. With the help of these spilled blood stains, Ke Lan quickly restored the appearance of what he had seen not long ago. The battle takes place inside the hangar.

"The people in the hangar... seemed to have been killed by melee attacks... The enemy moved very fast and was very powerful..." Ke Lan analyzed the blood stains one by one, "This is bleeding. The amount was very large and it sprayed so far. The artery should have been cut, decapitated or limbs broken... and it should have been attacked in an instant, and the weapon used to kill was very sharp, and it was on the victim's body. It only stays for a very short time, otherwise, the blood will change direction during the splashing process..."

Ke Lan subconsciously thought of the sword in Asano Akira's arms, but the problem was that they already knew what kind of enemy they were facing, but the traces of the battle in front of them were completely inconsistent with the expected enemy.

"There is no body..." Ivan whispered, "Ke Lan..."

"Well, I know what you mean... corpse fraud, possession, etc. are all routine operations. There is nothing surprising." Ke Lan nodded, "Before, in the East Nine District, Zi Yan's head was chopped off You can still move after being dropped and control a few corpses, so it shouldn’t be difficult for that thing.”

"But it should be noted that those corpses may use weapons." Layton interjected on the communication channel, "The weapons arsenal of the Greek is enough to arm a reinforced company."

"How many crew members are there on the Greek?" Ivan looked at Ke Lan and asked.

"Excluding the marines on the armed landing craft, the crew should be about eighty people, half of whom are staff hired from the 'Snapdragon International' under the Ye Family Group." Ke Lan said.

"Snapdragon International" is a PMC company controlled by the Ye Group. PMC is the abbreviation of "Private Military Contractor", which means "Private Military Contractor". Many people equate PMCs with mercenaries, but in fact, the business scope of PMCs is much larger than that of pure mercenaries. And in terms of professionalism, PMC employees are far better than the gray mercenaries who are between legal and illegal.

Because of the special nature of this mission, Ke Lan hired a large number of people from "Snapdragon International". Except for the team of "Marine" responsible for the battle, most of the more than 80 people on the ship were logistics personnel - for Ke Lan and the others, this was the only good news among a lot of bad news.

The Marines were basically killed in the explosion of the armed landing craft, and their corpses were still floating in the cold and dark space. Even the corpses of these logistics personnel were controlled by the puppet individual, and the combat effectiveness they could exert, It's definitely not as good as those professional combatants.

"But I think they don't know how to use guns." Ivan shook his head and said, "Just from the blood stains, it can be seen that the battles that took place in the hangar were basically close combat. Moreover, in addition to the corpses, I also No traces of bullet casings or bullet holes were seen..."

"Melee combat? Playing with knives?" Layton asked. He hadn't gotten off the space shuttle yet, and he could only see some vague outlines of the traces described by Ke Lan and Ivan on the monitor.

"It shouldn't be a knife." Ke Lan denied Layton's statement. "The only melee weapons in the arsenal are the fighting dagger and the multifunctional engineer shovel, but neither the dagger nor the engineer shovel can cause such trauma."

"From the analysis of the blood stains, to create these marks, at least it must be the kind of sword in Asano Akira's hand, or a melee weapon with a wider blade and a longer blade, which is easier to exert force." Ivan took it. Ke Lan continued.

"I thought of two weapons." Ke Lan said.

Layton: "Which two?"

"The horse-cutting sword of ancient China and the two-handed sword of Europa." Ke Lan replied, "Only this kind of heavy weapon can be wielded to cut the human body without being hindered."

"...I have only seen these two weapons in literature. When it comes to killing people, the chain sword is definitely better." Layton said.

"But the chain sword does not cut people open, but saws them open. The traces of blood thrown out will form a fan, not this thin and long straight line." Ke Lan said, "Okay, hangar. The oxygen concentration inside has reached the standard, allowing those guys to come down."

But at this moment, a black shadow quickly flashed past the blind spot of the searchlight. Ke Lan quickly picked up his gun and swept it with a single stroke.

All the bullets hit the empty space, splashing a series of sparks on the metal floor, but in just a moment, Ke Lan had already captured the true face of the black figure - it was a man wearing a blue and orange uniform. Logistics personnel, or in other words, monsters parasitic in the corpses of logistics personnel...

A large number of black hard spikes emerged from the man's back and shoulders. The largest of these spikes was nearly one meter long and as thick as a hand, and the smallest was about the same size as a chopstick. There were also holes on the top of the spikes. There were many torn and blood-stained strips of cloth hanging...

"Black spikes..." Ke Lan subconsciously connected this thing with the black liquid in the Iron Maiden, and the texture of these spikes was indeed very close to solidified asphalt.

Under the dense spikes, the monster's skin was wrapped in a thick layer of black blood scab, and its forearms and palms were transformed into a pair of foldable sickle-shaped jointed limbs - after seeing At the first glance of the pair of scythes, Ke Lan could confirm that the blood stains were caused by these things. Under the huge shearing force, cutting off human limbs was as easy as cutting paper.

"Be careful, it's going to your three o'clock direction!" Ivan shouted. He wanted to use the searchlight on the power armor to locate the monster, but he couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed at all.

"Don't think of it as a PMC support staff...except for the tattered body outside, that thing has nothing to do with humans." Ke Lan shouted, "Ivan and I failed to intercept that thing. Approaching the space shuttle, very fast——"

"Just leave it to me!" Marshall's voice came from afar. Ke Lan turned around and saw that he was the first to jump out of the space shuttle's hatch, then suddenly accelerated in mid-air and fell to the ground. He raised his hand and grabbed the monster's neck.

"It's too weak. It's not challenging at all." Marshall said without interest, "You decide whether to kill or not."

"Don't kill it yet!" Before Ke Lan could speak, Ivan quickly walked over, "We may encounter monsters like this again. Let me study this sample and maybe I can find their weaknesses. "

"What value does such a weak monster have for research?" Marshall said so, but he still restricted the monster's movements with his substantial thoughts and raised it in front of Ivan.

But just when Ivan took out the dissecting tools, the imprisoned monster suddenly exploded like a bomb, and the spikes on its body suddenly shot out towards the surroundings. Marshall only had time to seal them. The spikes shot at Ivan and himself, while an experimental subject on the other side who had just come off the space shuttle was directly pricked into a hedgehog by dozens of spikes.

The experimental subject's vitality was very tenacious. Although many vital organs on his body were punctured, he did not die immediately. He struggled on the ground, and a large amount of blood overflowed from the squeezed and deformed wounds. out.

"It's hopeless..." Ivan stepped forward, checked the experimental subject's injuries, and shook his head at Ke Lan and Marshall, "The heart, lungs, and spleen were punctured, and there was a lot of blood loss. Unless within five minutes Send him to the medical cabin within a few seconds, otherwise..."

"I've obviously imprisoned this ghost thing, but those spikes can actually penetrate the barrier of my mind. Did this guy also participate in that experiment?" Marshall looked at the broken corpses at his feet with some annoyance. As soon as he noticed the abnormality, he placed three physical barriers of will power around the monster. But after the monster self-destructed, those spikes penetrated these three barriers almost without any hindrance. If Marshall hadn't added a dozen more barriers in front of him, otherwise, even he would have been Got hit.

He clearly felt that on those spikes, there were fluctuations that were very similar to his thoughts. This was how these things neutralized the barriers he had set up - just like in the space station before, Asano Akira attached his thoughts to It was like the invisible big hand that he condensed cut open on the blade.

"Is there more than one experimental base for telekinesis?" Marshall said to himself suspiciously.

"It's not necessarily the person's own fault. I think this ability should come from the thing that turned him into this." Ke Lan said.

"This is impossible. I have never heard of anyone who can give their thoughts to other people, not even a perfect individual." Marshall shook his head repeatedly.

"What about attached to dead objects?" Ke Lan asked tentatively, "Just like Asano Akira, isn't his mind attached to that sword... This person is already dead, and the body does not belong to him. It’s an idea, it should be considered an object, right?”
