Alien Relic Hunter

"I was actually teleported to another crashed battleship?" Thirty-three touched his forehead and shined a flashlight at the end of the dark and deep corridor - compared to the plasma main gun explosion that caused serious damage to the ship's hull The "Shaojiang modified" frigate, the Feiyu-class high-speed support ship "Genoa", has a hull structure that is better preserved.

Perhaps it is precisely because there are fewer "open wounds" on the ship that the speed of the fog penetrating the space inside the ship is also slowed down... Thirty-three thought.

"I just don't know if this thing can fly... Well, but even if it can fly, I shouldn't be able to activate it with my authority. It would be nice if that kid Ke Lan was here." Thirty-three used the beam of flashlight to shine I scanned the corridor wall and quickly found a route map printed on the wall.

Although this road map has faded and become mottled, at least the location and direction of each cabin can be roughly distinguished.

Thirty-three waved his hand, and two black sharp blades immediately flew over and cleared away the vines covering the route map, revealing the entire map.

From the route map, it can be known that from the side where Thirty-Three is currently standing, the left hand side is the direction leading to the stern of the ship, and the right side is the direction leading to the bow... This is completely consistent with one thing he knows. : There is an unwritten rule in military airships built by Ark. All bathroom doors are set up to face the starboard side.

Some boring people once analyzed this, saying that because most of Ark's battleships are asymmetrical in design, and the number of turrets on the starboard side of the hull is far more than that on the port side, most battleship captains and commanders like to greet the enemy. When encountering an enemy, turn the rudder full to the left, pointing the starboard side where the firepower is more rapid, and at the same time hiding the port side where the barrage is weaker.

With such operating habits, most battleships turn left more frequently than right. If the bathroom is built on the right side, the filth in the pipes is likely to spurt out of the toilet under the action of centripetal force. Come out and stage a farce of "painting the wall with feces".

This argument seems reasonable, but in fact it is untenable. Let’s not talk about whether Ark’s warships really focus on starboard firepower, and whether the captains and commanders have the habit of using starboard to meet the enemy... The most important thing is The only point is that the actual situation is only that the door of the bathroom faces the starboard side, and not all bathrooms are located on the left side of the battleship.

Those bathrooms located on the right side also open to starboard.

Besides, if centripetal force will throw excrement out of the pipe, this has nothing to do with the location of the bathroom and the direction of the bathroom door. The only thing that is directly related is the structural design of the sewage pipe.

The person who posted this article is completely changing the concept... What's more, battleships are equipped with special anti-reverse seepage designs. If the crew's excrement can spray out from the toilet, the battleship designer will probably be ashamed. Suicide and apology.

Thirty-three still remembers that after reading this article on a military forum during his leisure time, he shared it as a joke with his comrades in the team... But at that time, the group laughed together and Most of the brothers who scolded and complained together are no longer alive... many of them have not even been able to recover their identity plates, not to mention their corpses.

Thirty-three is different from Layton and Lao Gou. He is never willing to call soldiers’ identification tags “dog tags” because he feels that every soldier is a living person... They are individuals, and Not a "dog".

"Soldiers must obey orders. This has always been said... But if you think about what happened in the past, aren't the people above treating you like dogs? No, not even worse than dogs." It was a sentence that Lao Gou once said to Thirty-Three. Because of this sentence, the two almost started fighting. Fortunately, Zhuoligetu and Leighton pulled them away in time.

…

Thirty-three shook his head slightly, putting aside these messy memories, and continued to observe the road map on the wall.

The location he is currently in is the crew dormitories and living area located in the middle and rear of the battleship, and the bridge is located one third of the front of the battleship. If you want to go to the bridge, you have to walk towards the right hand side of the bow. go.

Although Thirty-three knew that it was impossible to control the "Genoa" with his own authority, he still decided to go to the bridge.

On the bridge of the "Shaojiang Reform", Ke Lan met the former captain of that battleship. Even though the captain had turned into some kind of monster, Ke Lan still successfully communicated with him... Although the three Thirteen did not know the specific content of the communication between the two parties, but Ke Lan obviously obtained some important information from it.

Battleships are difficult to control. The captain was "retained" by the gray mist forest. Maybe he needs to be able to control the battleship... Then, will there be a captain on the bridge of the "Genoa"? What about the captain who was transformed into a monster?

If so, then "it" might also be able to communicate with itself?

"If you can talk, just talk. If you can't talk, just take action. There's nothing to be afraid of." Thirty-three made up his mind, turned to the right, and walked forward along the corridor.

The floor of the corridor is covered with rust - these places should have been covered with anti-slip rubber mats, but now the rubber mats have aged and fallen off, exposing the metal plates underneath.

The soles of the boots made of special rubber made a dull "dong-dong" sound when they stepped on the metal ground. This "dong-dong" sound echoed in the corridor. Together with the silent environment, it suddenly gave off the atmosphere of a horror movie. It's full.

Vaguely, Thirty-three felt like he heard another footsteps that were not echoes, not far behind him. When he walked, the footsteps would sound. When he stopped, The footsteps will also stop.

If he is fast, the opponent is also fast; if he is slow, the opponent is also slow.

The thing that made the footsteps was obviously using the echo generated by Thirty-Three's footsteps as a cover. I have to say that this trick was quite effective. At least Thirty-Three didn't notice it until it was followed nearly thirty meters away. It's strange.

Compared with Ke Lan and Asano Akira, Thirty-three's perception ability is slightly inferior, but as a veteran who retired from the special forces, he is still very vigilant.

"what?"

Thirty-three stopped and pretended to look at the ceiling and both sides of the corridor. After scanning around, he started to walk forward. But just as his front foot landed, his back foot twisted his ankle and turned around 180 degrees. , shining the flashlight pole directly behind him——

About ten meters away, a humanoid creature stood vaguely, but this humanoid creature was covered with a thin layer of gray fog. Even if it was directly illuminated by a high-lumen tactical flashlight, its true appearance could not be seen clearly. appearance.

The only thing Thirty-Three can be sure of is that this person is dead.

A steel pipe more than one meter long, with the ends twisted into twists, penetrated the chest of the humanoid creature. The gray mist did not wrap up the steel pipe. Thirty-three could clearly see that there was no trace of it in one place. There is also an inscription stamped with a steel stamp on the rust-covered area, which reads "B16 Cabin - Air Supply Pipe".

"Is this guy... a crew member who died on the Genoa?"

Thirty-three's mind immediately restored the simulated scene of the crew member's death - when the Genoa fell, the powerful impact broke the air supply pipe in the B16 cabin, causing the steel pipe to turn into a sharp weapon and penetrate it directly. Of course, this crew member may have died before being punctured by the air supply pipe.

Thirty-Three has also seen the combat images left on the surviving battleships. Given the speed at which the Genoa crashed, most of the people in the battleship would have been crushed by the excessive G-force before the battleship even touched the ground. Internal organs... The battle happened so suddenly that these crew members had no time to put on protective clothing with anti-G force effect.

(Additional explanation: The setting of the protective suit draws on the plot of the Gundam series. This type of anti-gravity protective suit also has various functions of a space suit. The style is relatively bloated, and the movement will be greatly affected after wearing it. Therefore, the crew on the ship generally These things would only be worn when the warship might be damaged or even sunk. The special operations fleet was suddenly attacked, and the battle became intense from the beginning and continued until the entire fleet exited the gray fog forest. .Only a handful of people in the entire fleet have the opportunity to wear these life-saving protective suits.)

This humanoid creature pierced by a steel pipe showed an extremely uneasy state after being shrouded in the beam of flashlight. It raised its arms in front of it, as if it wanted to cover its face with its hands... Even though it was thirty years old, San couldn't see clearly what its face looked like.

"Hey! Are you a crew member on this 'Genoa'? Can you understand what I say?" Thirty-three shouted.

He did not launch an attack immediately, but tried to communicate with the other party.

After all, this guy was just following behind him and showed no hostility... and after being discovered by Thirty-Three, he didn't pounce on him either--this is different from those monsters lurking in horror movies or horror games where the protagonist is caught. The behavior after discovery was completely different.

At least, Thirty-three feels that there is no need to regard "it" as an enemy for the time being.

Of course, not being hostile is one thing, but second-hand preparations still have to be made... More than a dozen black Nino alloy flying blades used the cover of the dark environment to cling to the floor and walls outside the range of the flashlight beam. It flew out from the ceiling and hovered around the humanoid creature. As long as it made the slightest movement, these dozen flying blades could instantly chop it into pieces.

No, to be precise, it cannot be called a "humanoid creature"... because it is impossible for a person to continue to survive after being penetrated by a steel pipe... so it is either a "dead thing", or it has become something like A monster like the captain of "Shaojiang Kai".

However, Thirty-Three was afraid of irritating the other party, so he did not directly call it "monster", but used as calm a tone as possible to conduct the conversation.

"Hey, brother, don't be nervous, we are one of our own." Thirty-three only said that he was "one of our own" and did not explicitly say that he came from the Ark, because he was not sure that these undead crew members would be sent to carry out such a Do the crew members of the "Death Mission" have hatred towards the Ark and human society in their hearts?

Thirty-three must not only show his "goodwill", but also obscure his identity as much as possible... He doesn't want to start a fight if he doesn't agree with the other party.

Although he wasn't afraid of fighting, he wouldn't be able to get more information from the opponent.

The human figure shrouded in gray mist stopped twisting, and the hands covering its face were slowly lowered. It seemed to be looking at Thirty-Three... Although Thirty-Three couldn't see the other person's eyes, he could feel it. A line of sight swept across his body.

"Strange, is that layer of gray fog one-way perspective? Why can't I see this thing, but it can see me through the gray fog?" Thirty-three muttered in his heart, but continued on his lips. Strike up a conversation.”

"Brother, can you understand what I'm saying?" Thirty-three leaned forward slightly, raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons in his hands, and then repeated the sentence in English.

Chinese and English are the two official languages ​​of Ark. Regardless of race, blood status or other status, everyone must master one of these two languages, otherwise they will not be able to live in Ark or among the existing human beings. Live in society.

If the other party can't understand both Chinese and English, then Thirty-Three will have nothing to do.

"After turning into a monster, can I only communicate in the language of Alpha civilization? But the problem is that I don't know the language of Alpha civilization? It would be great if that guy Ke Lan was here... Maybe I should watch this guy and wait. Ke Lan and the others found this place... But the question is, what should I do if this guy wants to escape or becomes hostile to me during this period?" Thirty-three's brain turned rapidly, "Its strength should be It won't be too strong, otherwise it wouldn't choose to follow me secretly... But the problem is that if this guy really can only understand the language of Alpha civilization, and I kill it, wouldn't it be equivalent to destroying me? Lost an important clue? Even if Ke Lan doesn't know how to be a monster, I can't accept this fact myself..."

Just when Thirty-three was struggling in his heart, a somewhat jerky voice came from the human form shrouded in gray mist: "You...are you...the person...who came in...from the outside?"

The sound was like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other. It was extremely harsh. It was obvious that the owner of the vocal cords had not spoken for a long time.

But this does not affect Sansan's ability to understand the other party's words...it speaks Chinese!
