Alien Relic Hunter

Just as Thirty-three was frantically thinking about the next battle strategy, a big hole suddenly exploded on one side of the corridor, and the human figure wrapped in gray mist was immediately slapped to the ground—— It struggled to get up, but could not lift its body even one centimeter.

It's like there's an invisible hand holding it down.

Before the smoke and dust caused by the explosion began to dissipate, an equally invisible barrier had already cleared away the smoke and debris on the ground, and a familiar figure walked into the corridor through the blasted hole.

"Huh... Ke Lan, you came here really fast..." Thirty-three couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems like the place you were teleported to should be quite close to here."

"Teleport?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment and looked at Thirty-Three with some confusion.

"Weren't you teleported to another place? Anyway, the moment I stepped into the gray mist, I was teleported to this place." Thirty-three also looked puzzled, "This should be another battleship.' Genoa's interior."

"I know this is the Genoa, but you probably haven't been teleported." Ke Lan quickly reacted and told Thirty-Three about the memory tampering and "sleepwalking".

"I walked into this battleship by myself..." Thirty-three rubbed his face vigorously, "So, I was the first one you found among the lost people?"

"Well, if you don't count Mo Jue." Ke Lan nodded, "I have no clue where the others went. After checking the data stored in the central control computer of the 'Shaojiang Kai', I just decided to go to another crashed warship to check it out, and I happened to encounter you fighting this thing."

"What about the others? Where are you going to find them?"

"It's not practical for me to go find them... If their consciousness regains consciousness, they should choose to move towards the core area..." Ke Lan said.

"This place is still more than ten kilometers away from the core area... But you are right. If you go to find them now, not only will you not be able to find them, but you may also get lost. It is better for everyone to share the same place. Set it as the ultimate goal, and then it’s up to you.”

"One more thing, at first I thought the sleepwalking time was the same as Mo Jue's, but six hours have passed since we were separated, and you must have just woken up, right? "

"Well, that's right." Thirty-three nodded, "Except for that deleted memory... I was in that smoking room as soon as I woke up, walked to the corridor, and met this guy. There should be no more than twenty minutes."

"It seems that the length of time for each person's sleepwalking is not fixed, so it is even more impossible to determine how far they will go while in the state of 'sleepwalking'... Tsk." Ke Lan clicked his tongue, with a look on his eyebrows. I couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

There are so many weird phenomena happening in this forest that even S-class ruins cannot compare to this place.

"By the way, where are the Mojue people?" Thirty-three asked.

"Here." Ke Lan tugged on the safety rope in his hand and pulled a single rescue cabin into the corridor.

"What's up with her?"

"Contaminated by 'forbidden knowledge'... This kind of thing can only spread through cognition. Her body has undergone some mutations. In order to prevent the mutation from getting worse or infecting other people, I think it is better to find a container to contain her." It’s better to get up.”

"Tsk...cognition is pollution, this guy said the same thing just now." Thirty-three pointed at the human figure that was pressed to the ground by the force of space and could not move.

"Is this guy... once a crew member of the Genoa?"

"Well, and it can understand and speak Chinese. I also had a brief exchange with it, but we started fighting after a disagreement... If you hadn't suddenly come in, I would have thought about it at this time. Why did you run away?"

After hearing Thirty-Three say that he had communicated with this humanoid, Ke Lan couldn't help but become nervous. He stared at Thirty-Three for a long time, and then relaxed slightly after finding that the other party's body showed no signs of mutation.

"What's wrong with you?" Thirty-three was a little embarrassed by Ke Lan and couldn't help asking.

"See you are not as unlucky as Mo Jue..." Ke Lan said, "You should know what 'cognition is pollution' means, right?"

"Is it possible that my body will mutate just by listening to a few words from this guy? This...is this too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. You're just lucky that you didn't mutate." Ke Lan patted Sansan San's shoulder, "This thing varies from person to person. Some people have weak resistance and may turn into monsters after hearing just a few words. ——”

As he spoke, Ke Lan subconsciously glanced at the single rescue cabin next to him.

"Huh... So it seems that my resistance is relatively strong?"

"You might as well say that you are lucky." Ke Lan sighed, "But no matter what, for the sake of safety, you should not continue to communicate with this guy. Leave the rest to me."

"By the way, this guy said a few words to me just before the fight started. I wrote it down." Thirty-three said, repeating a few words that the figure said to him to Ke Lan.

"Tsk..."

After listening to Thirty-Three's retelling, Ke Lan pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

There is actually a big difference between the situation of the "Genoa" high-speed support ship and the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate - judging from the combat video, the main reason for the crash of the "Shaojiang Kai" was that Hruni and the others detonated it inside the ship. The small tactical nuclear bomb caused irreparable damage to the hull, causing the entire battleship to lose power... and the "Genoa" fell directly to the ground due to the helmsman's operating error.

In more rigorous terms, the "Shaojiang-modified" frigate can actually be regarded as a "crash landing", while the "Genoa" is a true "comet hitting the earth", a head-on collision with the ground.

Ke Lan learned from the central control computer AI of "Shaojiang Kai" that in fact, "Shaojiang Kai" did not directly hit the ground. The helmsman can really bear the name of "Godly Helmsman" - in the battleship because of the internal When the nuclear bomb exploded and lost power, he still managed to control the overall balance of the ship, allowing the entire "Shaojiang modified" frigate to glide for nearly four kilometers in the canopy, relying on the obstruction of the canopy to maximize Eases the inertia of the fall.

If it weren't for the extreme operation of this amazing helmsman, so many people on the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate would never have survived after the battleship crashed.

The "Genoa" is completely different... From the crew member who was stabbed to the core by the air supply pipe, we can know that after the battleship "landed", there may not be a few living people on the entire battleship.

Not to mention anything else, the terrifying G-force when it fell and the shock wave that spread throughout the entire battleship in an instant when it hit the ground were enough to kill most of the people on the ship.

Even if you don't die, you will fall into a coma due to brain congestion... Without the ability to repair the life-support devices in the ship in time, coma is actually no different from death.

Therefore, even if there are survivors on the "Genoa", they will not be in large numbers. It is absolutely impossible for them to have the ability to explore the gray mist forest as deeply as Hruni and the others did.

Moreover, the human figure wrapped in gray mist in front of us must have been completely dead when the battleship crashed... It is impossible for it to have the chance to run into the forest and accept "erosion"... What exactly made it "resurrection" ” and obtained those “forbidden knowledge”?

In other words, it is precisely because of the acquisition of "forbidden knowledge" that it is "resurrected"?

This question is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg. It is impossible to draw an accurate conclusion by relying on pure logical reasoning.

"What should I say? You should be able to understand what this guy said, right?" Thirty-three waited for a long time and saw that Ke Lan didn't speak, so he took the initiative to ask.

Ke Lan nodded silently.

"Then what do you mean -" Thirty-three paused mid-sentence, "Wait a minute, don't you tell me because you are worried that I will also mutate? Then what...'cognition is pollution'?" "

"Well. There are too many secrets involved in this, and they can all be classified into the category of 'forbidden knowledge'. Even if you have nothing to do now, if I tell you those things, maybe you will become it in an instant. This is what it looks like." Ke Lan said, pointing to the human figure pressed to the ground by the force of space.

"Tsk...Okay, I understand. But why are you okay? Are you the legendary 'Chosen One'? The protagonist in movies and novels?" Thirty-three complained in a joking tone.

"I am an 'object' created by the Undead Crew." Ke Lan showed a helpless smile, "Although I have always thought of myself as a human being, the facts are right in front of me, and I have to admit that I am indeed related to You are different."

"That old dog guy said that as long as you think you are a human being, even if you become a piece of rotten meat, you will still be a human being. Don't think too much." Thirty-three said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I won't go too far on this kind of issue. But one thing I can tell you is that there is a high probability that the undead crew will create an 'experimental body' specifically to deal with this kind of incident, so for this kind of 'pollution' ' and 'corrosion', I have a resistance far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Understood." Thirty-three nodded, "Then what to do next? Interrogate this guy? You don't have to look at me all the time. I know that I won't peek or eavesdrop. I'm right outside. Wait, just come out to me directly after your interrogation is over."

After saying that, Thirty-Three walked out of the big hole that Ke Lan exploded, and by the way, he also dragged out the rescue capsule containing Mo Jue.

"Next, it's time to get down to business." Ke Lan said to himself and walked slowly to the side of the human figure.

This guy should be considered a "corroded corpse", right? People from the Immortal Crew Association said that what happens after "super eclipse" is different, which means that "eclipse" also has different forms, so this guy's appearance and ability are so different from Hruni's. That makes sense.

"Ze Luo, can you remove the layer of gray fog covering this guy? I'm quite curious as to what its true appearance is."

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the gray fog on the human figure was peeled off, revealing its body that had been hidden under the "fog armor".

This is a lean, mummy-like human body. The dry skin is tightly attached to the body. There is no hair or any proliferative tissue. The only two things that are different from human mummies are: first, it is " Second, where its skin is damaged, what is exposed is not dark red flesh or other subcutaneous tissue, but a dark, asphalt-like gelatinous substance.

Judging from the divisions of these gelatinous substances, all the muscles in this "corroded corpse" should have been replaced by this thing, and the function of this thing should be the same as that of human muscles.

Ke Lan took out a dagger and poked the black gelatinous substance gently. He found that this substance was extremely strong. With Ke Lan's ninth-level enhanced human strength, he used nearly 80% of his strength before the tip of the dagger let go. A small piece of it penetrated.

The strength of this thing has surpassed the "Type I high-strength synthetic rubber" that the research institute took 20 years to develop.

The latter is a buffer material used between armor alloy layers, but this material itself is also as strong and tough as the alloy. It can be said to have the highest physical strength among the "rubber-like" synthetic materials that can be mass-produced by human civilization. Yes.

"The corpse that Hruni turned into is very weak, and this corpse should be classified as a 'combat type'." Ke Lan analyzed one by one in his heart, "As for the gray mist covering the body, there should be two layers. The defensive function is only one of its functions. The most important function is probably to cover its current appearance so that Thirty-three cannot see its true appearance... Thirty-three also said just now that this guy was not hostile at first. , and has been warning Thirty-three not to come into contact with those 'forbidden knowledge'."

And the true appearance of this eroded corpse can be regarded as part of the "forbidden knowledge".

"You can understand what I'm saying, right." Ke Lan pulled out the dagger, patted the opponent's shoulder with the blade, and then relaxed the space force that suppressed it a little.

The corpse immediately turned its head and stared at Ke Lan with its eyes that were so turbid that it was difficult to distinguish the whites, corneas and pupils... It stared at Ke Lan for more than ten seconds before speaking with some difficulty: " This...this is impossible...the degree of your pollution...is far higher than mine...why...why can you still maintain...this appearance?!"

Its tone was full of confusion and shock... and a hint of panic.
