Alien Relic Hunter

"Optical camouflage? Bring a bottle of water, and preferably a nebulizer. Doctor, do you have one?" Upon hearing this, Leighton immediately ran over.

"We have water, but I didn't bring the atomizer." Ivan said, throwing a big bottle over, "Save it, there are not many supplies, and there is no water purification equipment on the transport plane. We have finished drinking the water. All I can do is drink urine.”

"I know." Leighton caught the bottle, "It's not a big problem if there's no atomizer."

He used a steel needle to poke dozens of small holes in the lid of the water bottle to make a simple shower head, and then squeezed the bottle hard, and dozens of tiny water columns suddenly sprayed out from the small holes. The water columns collided with each other, scattering a crystal mist in mid-air.

Optical camouflage used by humans is generally equipped on vehicles. All-round cameras are used to capture the surrounding scene, and then the armor screen is used to restore it. This kind of optical camouflage is not only easy to see through, but also the armor screen will be directly attacked by the camouflage. Disappear - But the optical camouflage of Alpha civilization is completely different from that of humans. They use the interference phenomenon of light to directly cover the holographic projection on the object that needs to be covered. In this way, as long as there is a set of projection equipment, they can The advantages of applying optical camouflage to any object are self-evident compared to bulky camouflage screens.

When exploring ruins in the early days, traps disguised by optical camouflage caused humans to lose many elites. With the accumulation of experience, humans also summarized the three main ways to crack optical camouflage.

The first is to directly destroy the projection equipment. This method is the most direct and effective. However, the projection equipment is often hidden in some very secret corners. What's more, there will be multiple sets of projection equipment covering each other. At this time, it is necessary to The second method is used - build a barrier around the shelter to directly block the projection, so that the shelter will naturally have no way to escape.

This method is generally suitable for areas with relatively open terrain, and has strict requirements on the equipment carried by explorers. For example, a camouflaged entrance is located on the mountainside. There are traps around the entrance, so human search cannot be carried out, and the projection equipment cannot be searched. No, if you want to use the second method, you have to encircle half of the mountain. The amount of work is so huge that it cannot be completed by one or two hunter teams.

As for the third method, it is the simplest to operate and does not require any special equipment. That is to sprinkle water directly on the cover and use the water vapor remaining in the air to disrupt the interference between the lights. It can also achieve the effect of breaking the concealment, but The disadvantage is that the effect is relatively poor and the duration is very short.

With the splashing of water mist, the area covered by the projection quickly became blurred, and a circular secret passageway faintly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"It looks like a manhole," Hound said. "I heard that people had to climb into the manholes in the old era to clean them. It was full of excrement and scavengers. It makes me feel sick just thinking about it."

A spaceship like Noah's Ark, which looks like a giant city, naturally has manholes on it, but the sewage system of the Ark is equipped with fully automatic cleaning machinery. The profession of plumber has become a term exclusive to the old times.

"As a hunter, are you afraid of this?" Ke Lan was speechless.

"You may not care, but think about what my abilities are? The smell is dozens of times more lethal to me than you are!" The hound couldn't help but complain.

"Then plug your nose." Layton curled his lips, "Okay, old dog, stop talking nonsense. Are you sure this is where the smell disappears?"

"Sure, if I can't trace this smell, then I'll cut off my nose when I get back." The hound said decisively.

"Come on, we have to wait and see whether we can go back. Look around and see if there are any slots reserved for energy crystals. I see that the manhole cover is not big, so I shouldn't be able to get many units." Leighton said. Another spray of water sprayed out of the bottle.

"I can't see clearly..." The hound shook his head and squatted down, "Let me touch and see... Ouch! Damn! There seems to be barbs on the manhole cover. Damn it, it cut my finger!"

The hound cursed and jumped up. Ke Lan looked and saw that there was indeed a large cut on his thumb. Although the hound had pinched the root of the finger, blood was still coming out.

"Doctor! Help me stop the bleeding... Damn it, I wouldn't have taken action if I had known better. Who knows if there are any deadly alien bacteria on this broken manhole cover."

"If so, you're dead. All the antibiotics I brought are in the cargo hold." Ivan helped the hound bandage the wound, but he suddenly stopped when the gauze was only halfway wrapped.

"What's wrong? Hello? Doctor?" Hound asked hurriedly, "Is it really infected?"

"No, your finger is fine..." Ivan shook his head stiffly and said word by word, "Look on the ground... the secret door... is open..."

Ke Lan was startled and quickly turned around to look - indeed, just when their attention was attracted by the hound, the door to the secret passage had quietly opened...

"Isn't it? Old dog, your blood can also be used as energy crystals? Do you want to put in more and see if you can also open the gate outside?" Leighton said in surprise.

"Don't say stupid things. In fact, I didn't touch the crystal slot on it just now... To be honest, the secret passage that can be opened by sucking blood sounds evil. Otherwise, let's not go down there. ." The hound held his fingers, his face slightly pale.

"There is such a road in front of us. If we don't go down, are we waiting to die?" Layton rolled his eyes at him, "Old dog, you are just a coward."

"The one with the special code is because those who were brave would have died long ago!" the hound replied.

"But you will die if you stay here now, and you will die if you go down, but at least there is a chance to go out, right?" Layton looked a little angry, "It's okay if you don't want to go down, then you just stay here, I want to go down anyway .”

"Stop arguing, have you found a problem?" Ke Lan pointed to the secret passage, "In fact, from the beginning, we should have thought that the secret passage should be opened in a different way from the gate. There is no crystal on the pilot's body, and there is no crystal on the transport plane. The remains of the body have also been looted by us. If crystallization is needed to open it, the body will not be able to get down."

The hound shook his head: "That's what I say, but I think there is still something wrong with this secret passage. Going down there will definitely be more dangerous than bad."

"There is no problem in the ruins. No matter how dangerous it is down there, can it be compared to a group of slitjaw bugs chasing after you and biting you?" Ke Lan asked rhetorically.

"This... seems to be the truth..." Hound gritted his teeth, "Forget it! Anyway, I am going to die, and I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy. Anyway, I will die. Hurry up, run away, while I am now I haven’t regretted it yet!”

"Don't worry, I will be with you even if you die." Layton patted the hound on the shoulder, but this time he failed to control the strength of the mechanical arm, causing the hound to curse.

"Remember to take the Mongolian with you. I don't want him to get bugs burrowed into his head and then crawl down like a zombie." The hound said.

Everyone found a large sleeping bag on the transport plane, stuffed Zoligatu into it, and then tied it to Leighton's back with a rope - among the remaining people, Leighton was the only one who could carry hundreds of pounds. The kilogram will not affect the movement.

…

The front end of the secret passage is vertically downward. Fortunately, there are many potholes on the passage wall, so everyone can climb down little by little. But what makes Ke Lan a little confused is whether a controlled corpse can also do this. An action that is complex and requires coordination of all body parts? This is much harder than simply running or crawling...

After climbing down for almost two hundred meters, their feet finally stepped on solid ground - directly below the secret passage was a horizontal passage. Compared with the one they had raced against the swarm of crackjaw worms before, This passage is wider and taller, almost enough for three Junius off-road vehicles to pass in parallel.

"The space below is much wider than above...could it be that the main passage is below?" Leighton guessed.

"Who knows, hurry up and leave." The hound urged uneasily, "I always feel..."

Before he could finish his words, "Pah!" a crisp sound suddenly sounded from behind. The sound was like a flesh and blood body being slapped to the ground hard...

"Could it be the corpse of the pilot?" They immediately raised their flashlights and shined them behind them. What fell to the ground was not a corpse, but a lump of rotten flesh with no specific shape...

"Ugh..." The hound only felt the tightness in his throat and quickly covered his mouth. Layton pulled out an extra-large Gurkha scimitar - the only thing on his body except for the discarded door. Apart from the machine cannon, it was the only remaining weapon.

"Hound! Can you smell that... that piece of meat? Is it from the pilot?" Although his expression seemed a little stiff, Ivan's tone was still calm.

"The smell of blood! Vomit... a very strong smell of blood... but it's definitely not the pilot's body... Damn it... such a strong smell... I should have been able to smell it from hundreds of meters away... Why? When I just walked through there, there was no smell at all...yuck..."

"Meat..." Unlike the reactions of several others, Ke Lan was not that nervous. He just vaguely felt that the meat seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...

Where could that be?

"Moving, moving?!" the hound screamed, pulling out the pistol and trying to shoot, but his hands were shaking so much that it took him seven or eight seconds to open the safety.

"Don't shoot yet, don't alarm it..." Ke Lan suddenly grabbed the hound's hand and said.

"It...it seems to be growing..." Ivan paused and swallowed a big gulp of saliva.

Just as he said, this piece of meat... is growing...

First, two pairs of limbs similar to "feet" grew, and then gradually lengthened. The pair of "feet" moved to both sides of the meat piece, and the pair of "feet" supported the ground, making the meat piece "stand" stand up……

Immediately afterwards, there is the formed torso... head... ten fingers...

A hole suddenly opened, which was the mouth, and then white teeth emerged from the pink gums...

Nose, eyes, ears...

In just two minutes, this piece of meat turned into a living human being. Except for the fact that there was no hair on the body, even the human "promotion device" was perfectly imitated!

What frightens everyone even more is...this "person" actually has a face that is exactly like a hound! That huge aquiline nose seemed to be carved from the same mold——

My cold has improved a lot today. Thank you for your concern.
