Alien Relic Hunter

"Very good, we got in successfully." Wilson spoke before Yeager could ask.

He seemed to be talking to Yeager, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

He pulled out the cyborg prosthetic leg and reached for the emergency escape hatch on the top of the cockpit.

"Wait a minute." Yeager quickly stopped him, "If we are still in the water, we will all die if we open the hatch!"

"If we are still in the water, I can't open this door." Wilson said without looking at him, "Unless the airtightness of this cockpit has been destroyed, but before that, we have already died."

Because the cockpit was severely deformed, Wilson had a lot of trouble opening the emergency escape hatch, but when he pushed the hatch outward, a bright light immediately shone in from the outside.

"This is... the... light inside the pyramid?" Yeger said in astonishment. Looking out of the hatch from his angle, he couldn't see anything.

Wilson ignored Yeager and climbed out of the emergency escape hatch.

"Hey! You haven't put on your weapons and gas mask yet!" Yeager reminded quickly.

Wilson still didn't answer, didn't even say "no need".

Yeager suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He did not bother to comply with the regulations such as "after making an emergency landing in an unknown area, make sure that the surrounding environment is safe and normal before leaving the vehicle." Three times, five times and two times were lifted. He unlocked the lock of his deep-diving suit, unfolded an FMG folding submachine gun, and followed Wilson out of the cockpit.

This is an extremely broad space. The height of the dome is at least 150 meters or even more than 200 meters. There is a high wall connected to the dome in the distance. The high wall and the dome both present a dim copper color... ...To be precise, it is more like the color of a magnificent palace-style building after its paint has been oxidized.

The light he just saw in the cockpit comes from countless light balls floating under the dome. These light balls are not connected to the dome by any cables, and Yeager doesn't know how much energy they require to glow and levitate. Supplied - but considering that even human civilization has non-contact energy transmission technology, with the technological level of Alpha civilization, it should not be difficult to achieve this.

Yeager looked back behind him again, and saw the dilapidated "Zokok Kai" kneeling on the ground. Almost all the external armor had fallen off, the core frame had been severely deformed, and all kinds of horrific scars were all over every part of the body. Corner - This machine was able to send the two of them here without disintegrating in the water or being crushed into a lump of iron. Yeager thought that with this luck, he might win the jackpot if he used it to buy lottery tickets.

The two mechanical arms of "Zokok Kai" were dragged on the ground. A little further away, there was a pool that was level with the ground. The pool was very large, occupying almost half of the entire vast space.

Yeager only took a few steps closer to the pool, and felt a sting on his exposed skin - the radiation content in the pool water was not low, and coupled with the dark ink color, it was basically certain that the pool led directly to the outside of the pyramid. Zhonghai, he had just rushed out from under the pool in a mecha.

The boundary between the pool and the ground is a curve with a large arc. I don’t know why, but after looking around for a week at this space that is half sea water and half dry ground, Yeager subconsciously thought of the symbol used in ancient Chinese Yixue. "Yin" and "Yang" Tai Chi patterns.

But Alpha civilization should have no connection with those things... Yeager scratched his head and turned to look at Wilson.

I saw this tall, strong man standing not far away at this time, with his head slightly raised, seemingly lost in thought while looking at the light ball on the dome.

"Hey, Wilson." Yeager greeted him, "What you just said was that after entering the underwater pyramid, you told me everything I wanted to know. Now -"

Before Yeager finished speaking, Wilson raised a hand to signal him to be silent.

"What do you mean, you are just saying this to yourself——"

Yeager suddenly felt a strong palpitation in his heart. He subconsciously jumped back. The next moment, several seemingly soft lights hit the place where he was standing.

Yegel's eyes widened. He wanted to ask questions out loud, but his reason made him close his mouth tightly and swallowed all those doubts.

These seemingly soft lights actually have extremely terrifying lethality. Although Yeager avoided them, the equipment bag he left on the spot was pierced by one of the lights - this equipment bag uses a kind of intensity. It is made of bulletproof fabric that is more than ten times stronger than Kevlar fiber. Even the FMG folding submachine gun in Yeager's hand for self-defense cannot penetrate it. In practical applications, this equipment bag can even be lifted. It stood up to act as a shield...but now, a hole was drilled into it from the front and back by the soft light.

The equipment bag was not deformed, moved or burned. The soft light melted away the tough bulletproof fabric silently, and even the metal equipment stuffed inside could not stop it. .

If this soft light shines on the body, it is estimated that the body will be pierced... Yeager's back was already wet with cold sweat, and his heart rate instantly soared to more than 170 beats per minute.

Looking along the trajectory of the soft light, the objects that emit these soft lights are the light balls suspended under the dome - these light balls are not only lighting devices, but also defensive weapons in this underwater ruins!

There are thousands of such light balls in this space. If Yeager is targeted at the same time, he will have no way to avoid them.

Why wasn't Wilson attacked?

Yeager forced himself to calm down and carefully moved one step to the left, one step, and another.

The lamp ball did not attack him again.

"Are these defense devices triggered by sound?" Yeger thought to himself. He suddenly remembered that Wilson, who suddenly became mysterious and seemed to know many unknown things, had not said a word since leaving the cockpit. When he asked him just now, the other person The gesture he made was also the standard "silence" gesture during team combat.

In addition, he was attacked just after he finished speaking, so the sound is likely to be the way for these light balls to detect enemies.

Wilson turned slightly sideways, seemingly a little surprised that Yeager had dodged the attack. He twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and then made another gesture.

The meaning of the gesture is - "You are still in danger now, don't let your guard down."

"Why did this guy say it now?!" Yeger said angrily, "Did he originally intend to use these things to silence me? Otherwise, why didn't he mention these things before opening the cockpit? "

Yeager suddenly felt the urge to raise his gun and aim at Wilson who was not far away.

However, impulse is impulse. In this place that is completely unfamiliar to him, the only person he can rely on is "Wilson" who "seems to know this place very well".

Yeager was not even sure whether this "Wilson" was the fitter recruited by the Hunting God Hunting Group... With such ability and knowledge, his best place should be with Ke Lan and others Go explore those high-level ruins together instead of staying in the engineering department twisting screws and playing with welding guns.

"Maybe... we shouldn't have listened to him just now." He murmured in his heart, "Speed ​​up directly in the direction of Yagunaktor, maybe we can go back."

Yeager took a deep breath. He didn't dare to act rashly until he understood the attack methods of these light balls. Only a few light balls had attacked him just now. With his ability to sense danger, he avoided it narrowly, but if there were more "activated" light balls, there would inevitably be holes in his body.

The only thing he can do now is to carefully observe "Wilson"'s actions...and then imitate him and follow him.

Wilson took out a paper notepad from his coat pocket, a pencil popped out of his cybernetic prosthesis, and started writing and drawing on the paper.

"What are you doing? Taking notes... sketching... or calculating?" Yeager was full of doubts, but from this angle he couldn't see what Wilson was writing and drawing on the paper, and he didn't dare to ask or say anything. When he got closer, he could only stand there awkwardly, waiting for Wilson's next move.

Wilson filled up more than thirty palm-sized notes, then closed the note with satisfaction and strode towards the high wall in the distance.

His steps were careless, and the hard soles of his work boots made a clicking sound on the metal ground, which was particularly loud in this empty environment.

Yeager immediately wanted to remind him that if he made a sound, he would be attacked by the light ball, but when he thought that speaking would have the same effect, he still stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, staring at the person who was walking further and further away. wilson.

Wilson's footsteps were still loud, but no light ball attacked him.

"What's going on?" Yeager was stunned. "Is my guess wrong? These light balls don't lock on to their targets by sound?"

He thought for a moment, then took out a spare magazine from his pocket and threw it into the distance.

"Crack!" The engineering plastic magazine fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but again, it was not attacked.

"It's not the sound! At least not all sounds will attract attacks!"

After thinking about this, Yeager took courage and walked forward, and then walked faster and faster. In the end, he started jogging all the way and caught up with Wilson.

Yeager took out a tablet from his arms, wrote a sentence on the screen with his finger, and handed it to Wilson.

"Is it true that only speaking out will attract those attacks?"

Wilson glanced at Yeager out of the corner of his eye, nodded, and then shook his head.

What does it mean?

Yeager was a little confused.

First affirmative, then negative...Does this mean "yes, but not entirely"?

"In addition to speaking, can you tell me what other actions will cause the light ball to attack?" Yeager wrote a second sentence on the tablet.

Wilson stopped, took the tablet, quickly wrote a few words on it, and then handed the tablet back to Yeager.

On the screen, under Yeager’s question, there was a scrawled phrase——

"Anything that would cause them to assume you're human."

any? Will it cause? they? Do you think I'm human? the behavior of?

Yegel stared at this sentence for a long time and thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason.

If these defense devices would attack targets "identified as human beings", then why didn't walking or even running cause attacks?

In addition to speaking, any action I am doing now, including breathing, can be considered a "human" behavior?

This is like the automatic defense systems on the Ark. AI needs to identify illegal intruders. After determining that the other party does not have permission, it can lock the target through images, temperature, sound, ground pressure... and even changes in heartbeat and air flow. , this Alpha civilization’s enemy-finding mechanism can’t be any further behind than human civilization, right?

Apart from not speaking, he was just a completely normal person, right? Can't those light balls be recognized?

Assuming that the person who broke into this underwater pyramid was mute, wouldn't these defense devices be in vain?

"I don't understand what it means." Yeager wrote another sentence and handed it to Wilson.

Wilson's face showed a look of impatience, but he still took the tablet and wrote his answer.

This time the answer is "human beings in the narrow sense."

Human beings in the narrow sense? What is human in the narrow sense?

Yeger felt that the mess in his mind was not only not untangled, but was made even more messy...

Just as he was thinking hard, the two of them had reached about fifty meters away from the high wall. Wilson stopped without warning, and Yeager stopped immediately when he saw this.

Before he figured out how to "cheat" the defensive device, his best option was to imitate what Wilson did.

Wilson squatted down, used his other hand to unscrew the cyborg prosthesis, then stood upright on the ground and began to retreat.

Yeager also retreated with him.

The two of them retreated for a full ten meters before stopping.

Wilson took out something like a mini remote control and pressed the button gently. The cyborg prosthetic limb that was standing on the spot immediately disintegrated, and blood-like liquid shot out from it.

Hundreds of soft lights suddenly shot towards the blood that shot out!
