Alien Relic Hunter

"You mean it doesn't have a 'core' in its body?!" Aya looked shocked, "Is this thing really not a seed of erosion?"

At this moment, the flesh on the chest of the corpse occupied by the tentacles suddenly cracked open, and a new "human arm" came out of the corpse's chest...

Although the skin of this newbie's arm was very pink and still adhered to the mucus and bloodshot threads on the surface of the tentacles, Ke Lan was surprised to find that the length, diameter, bone structure and even the division of muscles of this arm... ...They are exactly the same as the arm that those tentacles just "ate"!

"Swallowed... fused... regenerated..." He couldn't help but think of the strange scene he had seen under the sea.

Countless giant nautiluses pounced on the monster that the Alpha civilization called the "fusion" that ran out of the abyss hatchery... Although the attacks of these nautiluses were very fierce, and once the fusion's Several tentacles tore and bruised the body... But the size difference between the two was too huge. The wounds that the giant nautilus could cause to the fusion body could only be regarded as flesh wounds at best.

And every attack of the fusion body can kill at least one giant nautilus.

It was a fight between giant beasts in the deep sea, and every frame was thrilling. Even though more than a year had passed, Ke Lan still remembered it fresh when he recalled it.

As time goes by, more and more giant nautiluses are killed and devoured by the fusion... and after eating those giant nautiluses, many and giant nautiluses quickly grow on the surface of the fusion's tentacles. Very similar barbed spines.

There is no doubt that while devouring prey, this creature is also stealing the prey's genes, fusing and editing them into its own genetic fragments, actively inducing mutations...

The scene in front of me now is simply like that day under the sea...

"This moment is exactly like that time..." Ke Lan couldn't help but murmured.

"What did you say?" Aya glanced at him and asked aloud.

"We are in trouble...this thing may be a fusion." Ke Lan's tone was a little heavy.

If Ke Lan was given another chance, he would never choose to take the risk of sneaking into the hatchery at the bottom of the abyss, and he would definitely not be willing to face the "fusion" that had power that was almost comparable to that of the prehistoric species.

But now, what appeared in front of them was most likely a larva of a "fusion body".

"Fusion? What is fusion?" Aya asked again - none of the agents of the Security Bureau could return from the undersea city alive. Naturally, they had no idea about the undersea city and the abyss hatchery. What kind of thing is entrenched inside.

"It is a biochemical weapon developed by the Alpha civilization on the basis of the Seed of Corrosion... What you said is at least half correct. It is indeed not a Seed of Corrosion. If you insist on saying that it is different from the Seed of Corrosion, what is the difference between it and the Seed of Corrosion?" As for the relationship, it is probably the relationship between a donkey and a mule." Ke Lan said.

"Donkeys and mules? Are you saying... this kind of monster is the result of a cross between the Seed of Erosion and other creatures? But... doesn't the reproduction method of the Seed of Erosion rely on assimilating the cells of other creatures? Doesn't it still have the ability to Have the ability to reproduce sexually?" Aya said blankly.

"No... it's not the kind of hybridization you think of, but a fusion method similar to gene editing." Ke Lan said, "If the information I obtained is correct, this monster is composed of the seed of erosion and It is the 'fusion' of two artificial creatures, the flesh-eating worm."

It's no wonder that active ammunition can't cause any harm to it - the opponent itself is fused with the genes of the flesh-eating worms, and the active cells of the flesh-eating worms are naturally no longer toxic to it.

"Seeds of erosion and flesh-eating worms?" Aya looked at Ke Lan with some disbelief, and then at the monster that was devouring the corpse, "The latter is not equivalent to the poison for the former... …?"

"You have to ask the Alphas about this... In short, they have successfully integrated these two incompatible creatures. You should know that I once explored the 'undersea city' located on the bottom of the middle sea, right?"

"I know." Aya nodded slightly, "But the records related to it have been erased by the people above. I can't find any clues now."

"In the center of the undersea city, there is an abyss named 'Hatchery' by the Alpha people. At the bottom of the abyss, dormant is a fusion body that is countless times larger than the thing in front of you..." Ke Lan knew that these The matter is no longer a secret to the Undead Crew Association, and there is no need for him to continue to hide it. Instead of making up a bunch of lies to deal with Aya, it would be better to tell the other party the real situation clearly.

"Then do you know how to kill this kind of monster?" Aya asked eagerly.

"The size and strength of that thing is probably no less than that of the Great Desolate Seed... Do you think, with our individual abilities, we can kill the Prehistoric Seed?" Ke Lan asked rhetorically.

Although the monster in front of them is just a larva suspected of being a "fusion body", judging from the physical strength of the Seed of Corrosion, without their restraint weapons, the three of them can do nothing about it with their methods.

If there was a Blasphemer mecha here, Ke Lan would like to test how strong this monster's defense is, but now, he has no idea of ​​fighting it.

"Then...how did you survive that time?" Aya asked.

"I escaped relatively quickly, and with some luck, I was teleported from the Undersea City to another place - don't ask me about the specific process of teleportation, I also want to know what happened at that time." Ke Lan He bit his back molars and took a step back calmly.

"Then what should we do now? Should we ask the military for support? If we have battleship-level firepower, we may be able to destroy this monster... After all, it looks like it is still in its infancy..." Aya made a suggestion .

"This is probably the only way... But doing so will probably alert the remnants of the heretical sect in the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Can you guarantee that they only have this fusion?"

Even the guard guarding the corridor has a fusion coming out of his body. What kind of trump card does the big boss of the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce have in his hand... Ke Lan doesn't dare to think about it.

He is not worried about his own safety, but if the other party chooses to fight to the death, I am afraid that the entire economic development zone will turn into hell.

But the terrible thing is that Ke Lan still has no way to ask ordinary people in the development zone to evacuate here in advance...
