Alien Relic Hunter

At the bottom of the giant pit, there were a total of thirteen 100-meter-level mutated lava cantharis dormant—more precisely, thirteen mutated lava canthaphids whose bodies had already become crystallized.

Unlike larvae that have tiny crystals on their body surface and internal organs, the outer carapace of these 100-meter-sized giants has almost completely crystallized. Through these crystals, the organs in their bodies can still be vaguely seen.

"No wonder Asano Akira said he heard the sound of glass balls rolling on the ground..." Layton muttered to himself while sharing the scene he saw with everyone in the reconnaissance team.

Of course, crystallization is not the main reason why these lava beetles lose their ability to move - because they have been stuck at the bottom of the pit for a long time by crystal pillars, the bodies of these lava beetles have been completely deformed, and lines have been squeezed out on both sides of their huge abdomens. The flat groove is like Tom who was caught in the door in the classic cartoon "Tom and Jerry".

As for the arthropods of these crystallized lava beetles, they have degenerated due to years of inactivity - those pairs of arthropods that are only a few meters long are grown on a body of 100 meters, and cannot even reach the ground, paddling in vain in mid-air. The look can't help but make people feel a little funny.

Layton could almost imagine the growth process of these crystallized lava beetles - when they entered this large pit, their bodies had not grown to the point where they would be stuck by the crystal pillars, but there was abundant energy and massive amounts of high-grade crystals in the pit. , is like throwing a mouse into a filled rice vat... They devour everything they see crazily and greedily... until the rice in the rice vat is completely eaten, but at this time, the mouse I can no longer reach the edge of the rice vat.

Of course, the current situation is not that the rice in the rice vat has been eaten up, but that the mouse is getting fatter and fatter and burrowing deeper and deeper into the rice pile. In the end, it has been firmly pressed into the pit by the heavy rice pile. Bottom, can't climb up anymore.

But then again, if there really is such an empty rice vat, most mice would be willing to stay in it for the rest of their lives...

"These bugs look like bananafish..." At some point, Ivan also walked to the edge of the pit and sighed softly.

"It looks like... what kind of fish?" Hound glanced at Ivan and asked.

"bananafish, banana fish."

"Banana fish? What is that? A fish that looks like a banana? Is it a species that existed on the earth before?"

"No, this is an allusion, from the novel "A Good Day for Bananafish" by American writer Salinger from the old era." Ke Lan's feeble voice came from the team communication channel, "The original text is 'They swam to a hole. When they swam in, they were just ordinary-looking fish, but once they entered the hole, they couldn't stop eating until they were as fat as pigs and could no longer eat. Coming out of the hole'...the fictional image of the banana fish symbolizes the endless desires in the human heart."

Ke Lan paused, took a few breaths with some difficulty, and then continued: "Not just humans, any living creature will have desires..."

Giving up freedom, humanity and even more important things for desire... For some reason, Ke Lan suddenly thought of the "prophet" of the heretical sect.

What is his desire?

Survive?

Survival and reproduction are the two most basic desires of all living things. Whether it is hunting, eating, migration... a series of actions that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages ultimately serve these two basic desires, even if they are trapped in The crystallized lava at the bottom of the pit swallows a large amount of energy crystals just to survive longer and reproduce more descendants.

Only humans... In Ke Lan's impression, only humans would give up their lives for some superficial desires.

Of course, using the word desire to describe it may not be accurate. It can be a desire, a belief, an idea, or something more difficult to describe.

There are so many things that human beings cannot ask for...power, wealth, knowledge...many people are even willing to sacrifice their lives to exchange for them. In contrast, the desires of the "prophet" are purer.

He wants to become stronger and survive in this universe.

In order to achieve this goal, he can give up everything else.

"What a beast..." Ke Lan thought silently in his heart.

His eyelids gradually became heavy, and even powerful stimulants could not suppress the sleepiness... Especially after learning that those 100-meter-level lava beetles could not pose a threat to the team, Ke Lan had been tightening his penis. The string suddenly became loose, and he lost consciousness before he even had time to say a few words to the hound and the others.

…

…

When Ke Lan regained consciousness, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed a slender arm. Although this arm was slender, he could still feel it through the anti-loading fabric that adhered to the body lines. Powerful muscle fibers underneath the clothes.

"Are you awake?" A young woman's voice came from the direction above her head. Ke Lan opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a flat chair. The power armor on his body had been removed, leaving only a pair of close-fitting clothes. clothes. The arm and wrist of his left hand were tied to the armrest of the chair with elastic bands, and there was a large piece of tape on the back of his hand that was used to fix the indwelling needle.

The beeping sound of the infusion machine kept coming to my ears, and the pungent smell unique to the powerful sterilin filled the dark and small space.

"Valentina?" Ke Lan looked at the place where the sound came from - he realized that he should be lying in the cockpit of Valkyrie now.

"What's going on? What happened after I passed out?"

"Akira Asano said you are just mentally exhausted, and there is nothing wrong with you other than that." Valentina said. Ke Lan raised his head and could see her thin chin line, reflected in the light blue of the monitor. Under the reflection, a metal-like texture appeared, "But Uncle Nick said that you suffered a large dose of radiation, and you must hang up six bags of radionixin before you can move... The radiation intensity outside is still very high now, so they I just put you here."

Nick is the hound's real name. Although he hates being called this name, Valentina stubbornly follows Chi Hanfeng and calls him Nick. As time goes by, the hound can only go with the two of them.

"Six bags of Radiantin...heh...according to my weight, it's already the maximum dose, right? Does this old dog want to poison him to death?" Ke Lan complained. Only then did he realize that his There is actually a heavy urine bag attached to the lower body...

"Thirty minutes have passed since the last rehydration," Valentina glanced at the timer on the screen. "Do you want to drink water, or use intravenous drip?"

"Can you help me turn off the infusion machine?" Ke Lan showed a wry smile.

His special physique is actually not very afraid of radiation... Although his body will still absorb radiation from the outside world, as long as he is isolated from the radioactive source for a period of time, the radiation in his body will automatically dissipate, and there is no need to use radiation elimination. Excreted from the body... The hound guy was obviously frightened by the dose of radiation in his body when he was just unconscious, so Ivan asked Ivan to prescribe a full six bags of radionixin.

He could clearly feel that the bulging bladder was filled with liquid, and the strong urge to urinate hit his nerves - fortunately, it was only a plug-in urine bag, not an inserted urinary catheter. Ke Lan was emptying the liquid in his body. After that, he turned over and pulled out the indwelling needle on the back of his hand.

"How is the situation outside?" Ke Lan took the water bag from Valentina and asked.

"Thirteen lava beetles whose bodies were greatly crystallized were found at the bottom of the pit. However, the motor organs of these lava beetles have degraded and lost the ability to move independently. They are not a threat to us. So Team Leader Breya and Uncle Nick I decided to rest where I am and wait for you to wake up before formulating the next plan of action." Valentina replied.

"Yes." Ke Lan nodded. He squinted his eyes slightly and tried to recall the memory of the time he just connected with "Aguna Kotor". However, what made him a little regretful was that the information that poured into his mind There were only blurry shadows left... Even the top view of the giant pit was no longer clear.

His memory seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gray fog. This layer of fog was very thin, so thin that he could see some rough outlines and smudged patches of color through the fog. But when he wanted to stretch out his hand to open the layer of fog, the fog suddenly became staring and dull. It became thicker.

Those distant and unreal memories are not like his personal experiences, but more like he is looking at what happened to others from a third-person perspective.

"Could it be that...this information is temporarily 'sealed' like that stone tablet, and it can only be activated if certain unlocking conditions are met?" Ke Lan thought in his mind, "I just don't know where this information comes from. The handiwork of Alpha Civilization is still a legacy of the civilization that built this ancient battleship."

Those memory fragments from the stele are unlocked by seeing the things associated with them, so will this information be the same?

Ke Lan plans to give it a try.

He sat up straight and stuck his head in front of the console... However, what Ke Lan didn't expect was that due to the very small space in the cockpit, Valentina was already pressed against the bulkhead. He gave as much space as possible to Ke Lan. When Ke Lan moved like this, his shoulders directly touched Valentina's back.

The young female pilot let out a muffled groan, and her unbalanced body fell to one side. Fortunately, her reaction speed was much faster than ordinary people. When she was about to crush Ke Lan, her right hand managed to catch it. A pull ring on the top of the cockpit suspended his body above the seat in an inclined position.

And Ke Lan's face was buried in Valentina's armpit.

When surfing the Internet in the past, Ke Lan once heard some "nervous" veterans say that among human women, Caucasians can definitely be regarded as the type that "can only be viewed from a distance, not played with"—— Many white girls, from a distance, appear to have fair skin and hot figures, but when it comes to "close firefights", they realize that although white skin looks white, it is very rough and has many pores. They are big and have a lot of body hair... Except for those girls who have undergone medical cosmetic surgery or received genetic modification, the remaining pure and natural white girls are enough to be beaten by the equally pure and natural yellow people in terms of skin alone. Completely exploded.

But skin quality comes second. According to a veteran driver, their body odor is the most terrifying thing - he said that he has been in love with 17 white girls, and 16 of them have terrible body odor, so they must use strong-smelling products. Use perfume to cover, the proportion is as high as nearly 95%...

Of course, there are also some perverts with special hobbies who are born with this smell. They even gave this smell an "elegant" name - "tuberose"...

However, Ke Lan did not smell those unbearable strange smells. He only smelled a faint smell of sweat, mixed with the unique body fragrance of young women, seeping through the thin fabric of the anti-static suit. , got into his nasal cavity.

Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, then immediately lay back on the seat.

"Sorry, I didn't notice where you were standing." Ke Lan said awkwardly.

"Well..." Valentina responded. Her tone and expression didn't seem to have changed much, but if Asano Akira was here instead of Ke Lan, Valentina's heartbeat could be heard. The speed is nearly twice as fast as before.

"Can you stand up?" Ke Lan tried to ask.

"The legs... seem to be clamped." Valentina said. She straightened her upper body with some difficulty, but she could not move at all below the waist.

Valkyrie's cockpit is originally a standard single-person cockpit, and a lot of armor and electronic equipment were added during the transformation, which made the internal space that was not very spacious become even tighter.

And now, the cockpit is filled with supplies dropped from the cargo hold. Valentina's legs were pressed by a bag of supplies that rolled down, and the instep of her feet was caught in the seat. At the lower edge.

If it were any ordinary girl, she would have cried out in pain by now. Only Valentina, who has been tortured by old injuries and sequelae for many years, could hold back the pain.

But despite this, her face also became a little pale.

"I...how can I help you?" Looking at the girl whose body was tense and whose back was almost bent into an arch, Ke Lan was at a loss for a moment.

"Help... my waist... can't hold it anymore..." Valentina gritted her teeth and said, "The bag pressing my calf... I can't reach it with my hands... help me move it... I It should be able to move…”

"Oh, oh." Ke Lan responded quickly. He held the girl's flexible waist with one hand, and reached down from her side with the other hand, groping to grab the bag that was holding down her legs.

And this action forced Ke Lan's head to press against Valentina's side - through the fabric of the anti-static suit, he could even distinguish the outline of the sports bra worn inside...
