Alien Relic Hunter

While Ke Lan was still thinking about the "conspiracy" of the Immortal Crew Association, the members of the 776 Special Forces Team had ended their disputes and discussions.

Sergeant Ken is a qualified soldier... Although his behavior is somewhat rigid and his personality is not very likable, he is undoubtedly a soldier who can satisfy and reassure his superiors.

He is the kind of person who can resolutely carry out orders - even if the content of that order is a task equivalent to death.

Under Sergeant Ken's strict request, the soldiers of the 776th Special Forces Team had to shut their mouths, left the room with the sleeping cabin, and entered another room opposite the door.

But the next second, they entered a state of high tension.

In the center of the room, on a device that looked like a "pedestal", a living monster sat slumped.

This is not the kind of humanoid monster they encountered before, but a "monster" in the true sense.

The upper body of this monster has a human-like head, chest and arms, but its cranial cavity is at least 1.5 times that of a normal person. It has deep-set eye sockets, no nose or mouth, and a sharp lower jaw. It looks like the old one. It is somewhat close to the alien image that was very popular in the 20th century.

Its body is very thin, and the collarbone, ribs and sternum are clearly visible under the skin. Its two slender arms have obvious signs of degeneration. The ten underdeveloped tiny fingers do not seem to have the function of grasping objects, let alone serving as weapons. .

But compared with the upper body, the lower body of this monster is much more impactful - below the waist, there is a large group of tangled and sticky tentacles. These tentacles are constantly squirming, and the mucus secreted from the surface is constantly The ground dripped so hard that a small puddle of slime formed around the base.

The members of the 776 Special Forces Team were almost stunned. They had never seen such a monster before. Compared with the indigenous creatures in the wilderness, this monster was obviously closer to humans... It seemed to be intelligent. !

Dozens of guns were pointed at the monster. Even Sergeant Ken, who had always been calm, the muscles on his face were twitching involuntarily.

As for Ke Lan...if he could shout, he would have shouted out long ago.

He had seen this monster in memory fragments before!

In the Dirac Sea caused by Park Sang-woo's self-destruction, one of the three strange scenes showed thousands of such monsters arrayed in a huge square... and the shadow of this monster has appeared many times. In those vague and unclear memory fragments.

Just when Ke Lan was still in shock and had yet to fully recover, this monster... it spoke.

"The purpose of your coming here is to blow up the remains of this engine." Its eyes swept over the soldiers of the 776 Special Forces Team, and finally stopped at the small tactical hydrogen bombs carried behind the two fearless warriors. above.

The language it spoke was not understandable to the soldiers of the 776th Special Forces Squadron - to be precise, they couldn't hear it speaking at all... because what it spoke was the language of the Alpha civilization.

"This monster... is really Alpha!" This idea exploded in Ke Lan's mind... Although he had already had such speculations, when the truth was placed in front of him, he would still have A feeling that cannot be described with words.

It's like a sealed box. You know there is a bomb inside, but until you open the box, you will never experience the feeling of watching the countdown step by step toward zero.

"It...it seems to be staring at the hydrogen bomb on Samuel's back!" Martin noticed the change in the "Alpha Man's" gaze and said with a trembling voice.

"It seems to know the hydrogen bomb..." Keno added.

"If this monster intends to prevent our mission, then we will kill it." Sergeant Ken said, flipping the safety of the weapon with his thumb and pulling the trigger.

"I will not stop you." "Alpha" said, "I know the purpose of your leaders... They are right... The truth cannot be disclosed... Otherwise, everything will fall into chaos."

"What truth? What chaos?" Ke Lan really wanted to ask it... Unfortunately, everything he saw was the impression recorded in "Super Dream", and he couldn't do anything. There was nothing he could do. Change.

"Because of the paradox, most of us have disappeared." This "Alpha man" completely ignored the black holes of the gun and said to himself, "There is only a small part left. After leaving this place, only There are very few individuals like me who stay and want to witness something and want to try to communicate with you."

"Paradox? Because of the paradox... most of the Alpha people have disappeared?" Ke Lan's mind was in confusion, "What kind of paradox is it talking about? Is it some kind of causal weapon? The Alpha people's Are the enemies so terrifying that they have mastered such an unimaginable weapon?"

"But unfortunately, there is no 'symbiont' among you. It seems that I can't communicate with you." The Alpha said, with a hint of helplessness and regret in its tone.

"Symbiote"? This is a new term that Ke Lan has never heard of, but it is obvious that this term refers to those "human beings" who can understand the language of Alpha civilization and understand their writing. So far, the ones he knows have this There are only two people with this power: the prophet, and himself.

The prophet is dead, but Ke Lan feels that he should not be the only "symbiote" left...otherwise, the undead crew will have access to so much information that can only be obtained with the ability of the "symbiote".

"Boss, are we going to shoot?" Connelly shouted. His finger had already pressed down on the trigger of the machine gun. With a little more force, the bullet in the barrel would be ejected and shot towards the target. The body of an Alpha human.

"The base under it seems to be a console. If it activates the mechanism in the ruins, we will not have any advantage at all!" Jino also said, "Strike first is the best, boss!"

"...Fire!" Sergeant Ken took a deep breath and made a decision that made Ke Lan a little desperate.

Don't shoot! Let him say a few more words!

Ke Lan wanted to yell at these soldiers, but the muzzle of the gun had already lit up in the darkness, and hundreds of bullets instantly penetrated the Alpha man's body - its body strength did not seem to be stronger than that of humans. Wherever they go, compared to the invulnerable biochemical weapons they made, the Alphas' bodies are simply too fragile.

Purple-black blood poured in from the gun hole, and its body slipped from the base, its tentacles scattered and spread on the ground.

"But...I still want to tell you...under this engine...there is a teleportation node...if the explosion affects the node..."

It still hadn't finished its last sentence, because Sergeant Ken walked up quickly and blasted its head with a shot from a 0.5-inch hunting pistol.

"Fuck!!!" Seeing the exploded brains and minced meat, Ke Lan couldn't help but swore a curse word in his consciousness.
