Alien Relic Hunter

After leaving the "warehouse" where a large number of food cans were stored, the members of the 776 Special Forces Team continued to walk along the corridor.

Finally, when the end of the corridor could be seen, automatic doors opened on both sides. These two automatic doors were different from the one stuck in the warehouse just now. They were fully open.

Moreover, the two rooms are not completely dark. Standing in the corridor, you can still vaguely see dots of blue fluorescence coming out of them.

Sergeant Ken did not hesitate and ordered directly: "The second group will stay in the corridor, and the first group and I will explore the room on the right first."

Several soldiers held their guns in one hand and put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates in front, and entered the room in a standard CQB combat formation.

This room is much larger than that warehouse. There are a large number of devices of unknown purpose embedded in the walls. The dots of faint blue fluorescence are emitted by the indicator lights on these devices.

Near the root of the wall, there are many coffin-like metal cabinets neatly arranged. The intervals between each metal cabinet are about 1.5 meters. There are a large number of pipes and cables on the top of the cabinet, and those on the wall. devices are connected.

"What...what is this? Alpha's coffin?" Martin muttered softly.

Due to the lack of land resources, in the old era, urns have completely replaced the status and role of coffins in funeral matters. However, because the image of the coffin is so classic, it is often mentioned in many film and television works and literary works. A container used to place corpses, so even though people in reality can hardly see the actual coffin, they will still subconsciously associate it with coffins for similarly shaped utensils.

Especially in some mysterious, eerie and weird atmospheres.

"It's not a coffin..." Liao Xing frowned and shook his head, "That thing is used to put living people... Look at those pipes and cables, the equipment on the wall is probably some kind of life-support device, this thing should be It’s similar to the medical bay on the Ark.”

"These things seem to be still in working order," Collins said. "There...isn't there anyone alive in there?"

"Go over and take a look." Sergeant Ken ended the conversation among several people with one sentence.

Samuel, the boldest man, carried the mobile Vulcan cannon specially equipped for fearless warriors, walked step by step to the "coffin" on the far left, took a closer look, and then said quietly in the team channel Said: "Report to the boss, this place is empty."

"Empty? What about the others?"

"The second and third 'coffins' are also empty." Samuel replied, "There is nothing inside except some scattered infusion tubes and things like electrode patches."

"Oh, I'm so happy for nothing!" Martin's tone contained a hint of disappointment, but also a hint of inexplicable relief, "I thought... we would be the first people on the Ark to discover the true identity of the Alpha people. "

He walked over quickly, but as soon as he reached a "coffin", a sudden brake came under his feet, and his whole body froze in place.

"Mom, damn...Boss! This one is not empty!"

Several people, including Sergeant Ken, immediately gathered towards him.

These coffin-shaped cabins have transparent polymer hatches, so the scene inside can be seen at a glance. In the mouth in front of Martin, there was a pale skeleton curled up. The infusion tubes and patches connected to the wires were scattered around the skeleton. Only a few needle-shaped electric shocks at the ends of the wires were still stuck in the spine of the skeleton. inside the gap.

"This skeleton... looks exactly like a human skeleton." Collins said, a flash of electricity suddenly flashed in his head, and the corner of his eye subconsciously glanced at the body bag he was carrying behind him. "These medical cabins...could they be prepared for those humanoid monsters?"

Are these monsters really Alphas?

Didn't the authoritative scholars from those research institutes say that there are big differences in body shape and appearance between Alphas and humans? However, except that these humanoid monsters look a little thinner, have paler skin, and have no hair, they are obviously similar to humans, right? !

"This is not a medical cabin...these devices should be cryo-sleep cabins." Liao Xing suddenly said, "Look."

He raised his hand and pointed at the equipment on the wall facing the "coffin" - this equipment was exactly the same in appearance as the other equipment beside it. The only difference was that its operation panel was dark, and all The indicator light is off.

"The life support device of this dormant cabin malfunctioned, so this 'person' died in the dormant cabin... As for the other empty dormant cabins, the 'people' inside should have left the room after being awakened. ."

He paused and continued: "The noises we heard outside and the humanoid monster we encountered probably crawled out of this room and these dormant cabins... As for the one who woke them up, I don’t know if it’s a timed program or something else.”

"It seems that there are quite a few of these monsters..." Samuel said.

In this room alone, there are nearly a hundred such sleeping cabins, plus there is another room like this on the other side of the corridor... Even if there are only two rooms with sleeping cabins in the entire ruins, those rooms have been "sealed" "The number of humanoid monsters has reached two hundred.

Fortunately, these humanoid monsters are not very powerful in combat, and their physical strength is far inferior to those rough-skinned and fleshy indigenous creatures in the wilderness that cannot even be penetrated by bullets. With the combat level of the 776 Special Forces Team, two hundred of these monsters It's a bit tricky, but not too much of a threat.

"This makes sense..." Liao Xing thought to himself while dragging his chin.

"What's reasonable?" Martin couldn't help but ask.

"The bone age of the corpse Collins was carrying." Liao Xing said, "Although this type of dormant cabin can allow the creatures inside to survive in a dormant state for a long time, judging from these tubes, the creatures in the dormant cabin They still need nutrients from the outside world, so their bodies will naturally continue to grow and develop in a dormant state... Although it is very slow, it does not stop completely. In this way, a bone age of more than 400 years is completely reasonable. The real age of this humanoid monster is only more than four hundred years old, and much older."

"Over a thousand years old?" Martin asked tentatively.

"It's possible to live ten thousand years." Liao Xing glanced at the blue fluorescence flashing on the wall. Among the nearly a hundred dormant cabin life-support devices, only the one in front of him had malfunctioned. Combined with the existence of this ruins Judging from time, such a long battery life and such a low failure rate may only be achieved by the technology of Alpha Civilization.
