Alien Relic Hunter

"Isn't this casualty rate too exaggerated?" Martin was stunned for a moment, "It can already be compared with the war zones with the most intense fighting... This is only a C-level ruin..."

For Ke Lan fifty years later, this data is actually not an exaggeration - in 902 of the New Era, it was only two years since humans landed on Alpha Planet. Many technologies were still at the level of the Earth Era in the old era. From Alpha There are almost zero alien technologies that have been obtained and successfully digested from the ruins of civilization. The two alien technologies that have completely changed human history, such as Nino alloy and energy crystals, are still undergoing technical research within the research institute at this time... At that time, At best, the equipment of the relic hunters is only at the level of the armed scientific expedition team of the Earth Era. As for the quality of the personnel, it is even more uneven, and it is not even as professional as the scientific expedition team of the old era.

In that era when there was no human body enhancement and transformation surgery, no equipment blessed by alien technology, an extremely poor understanding of various relics and Alpha civilization, and various intelligence system training mechanisms had not yet been established and perfected, the death of the relic hunter Rate can definitely be regarded as "outstanding" among all professions in Ark.

Just like the Europeans who took sailing ships to pioneer the American continent in the seventeenth century of the old era, more than 80% of those who chose to become relic hunters in that era were people who were forced by life and had no other way out.

Like Samuel, he became a relic hunter just to repay loan sharks.

Today, although the ruin hunter is still a high-risk profession with a mortality rate that ranks among the top three, it is much better than it was fifty years ago.

At least for C-level ruins or below, the mortality rate can basically be controlled below 5%.

"Stop chatting and pay attention." Sergeant Ken reminded him.

The soldiers of the 776th Special Forces Team quickly crossed the steel structure suspension bridge and came to a gap like a line of sky. The width of this gap was only less than two meters. The soldiers wearing the Dreadnought Warrior armor could barely survive. It passed, but the engineering mecha carrying the tactical hydrogen warhead could only be stuck outside.

The two hydrogen bombs were carefully unloaded from the engineering mecha. Two fearless warriors each carried one on their backs, and the team continued to move forward.

The length of this gap is about forty meters, and it crosses two layers of nested steel structures. Judging from the joints and cable access openings reserved on both sides of the gap, this gap should be specially used for maintenance. Channels reserved for repair work.

"Look... here, and here, there are traces of welding." Martin shouted in a low voice as if he had discovered a new world, "And here, the riveted structure... there are even screws and nuts! This This ruin is really just like Samuel, not the style of the Alpha people at all!”

"Samuel, are welding, riveting and screws rare in the remains of Alpha civilization?" Connelly asked.

"Well, it's rare." Samuel nodded, "Many buildings of Alpha Civilization adopt one-piece molding technology, and it is difficult to find traces of processing on the surface... Of course, considering their technological level, There is not much difficulty in this, only those ruins that may be relatively old will have architectural and mechanical structures similar to our human civilization.”

"In other words, the Alpha civilization once had a stage with a technological level similar to that of us humans, and this ruins is probably left over from that period?" Connelly asked.

"It should be, but I can't guarantee it..." Samuel replied.

"This is a good thing." Jino, who had been silent along the way, said, "As long as the architectural structure and style of this ruins are closer to our human civilization, the easier it will be for us to find its control center... and the easier it will be. Easy to reboot it."

"There was bad news all the way, but finally I heard some good news." Martin sighed.

"Don't make any sound." At this moment, Sergeant Ken suddenly held down the shoulders of Keno and Connelly and whispered, "I seem to hear a sound above us!"

The soldiers of the 776th Special Forces Team immediately raised their guns and looked directly above.

Above are countless steel structure beams, which are intertwined and woven together, reminding people of a landmark building called the "Bird's Nest" in the Chinese capital in the old era.

After everyone stopped talking, they soon heard the sound described by Sergeant Ken.

"Da da da……"

The sound is small, but it's there.

And, there’s more than one place.

"It seems... there is something walking on those beams..." Martin said softly on the communication channel.

"From our angle, we can't see the scene above the beam." Connelly shook his head, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Sergeant Ken did not answer directly. He just stared in the direction of the sound, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Do you want to use drones?" Jino asked, "We carry four reconnaissance drones. We can put one out and fly to the beam to take a look..."

"Don't alert the snake." Sergeant Ken raised his hand, "Since the thing that made the sound did not take action, we will pretend that we did not hear the sound. There is an old saying in China, which is called 'remain unchanged in response to all changes'..."

"Then we... ignore it?" Connelly pointed his gun directly upwards with a look of astonishment. "What if, what if something from above suddenly jumps down and attacks us?"

"Then open fire...but before that, don't take the initiative to disturb them." Sergeant Ken said, "Everyone, quickly pass through this gap."

Under the command of Sergeant Ken, dozens of soldiers crossed the crack with the lightest possible steps while paying attention to the situation above their heads. Sergeant Ken, who stayed at the rear, pulled out a few thin wires. Several booby traps were set up at the very end of the fissure.

The lowest of these booby traps is less than five centimeters above the ground, and the highest tripwire is nearly two meters away. No matter what size the objects on the beam are, as long as they jump into this crack, they will definitely trigger it. These booby traps.

But just when Sergeant Ken finished setting up the last booby trap, Martin's trembling voice came from the team's communication channel: "Boss, boss... come here quickly, there's something going on!"

Sergeant Ken's heart tightened, and he quickly got up and ran forward.

Behind the crack is a circular hall with a diameter of more than a hundred meters. At this time, the soldiers of the 776 Special Forces Team are clinging to the wall near the crack. At the other end of the hall, a pale and hairless humanoid. The monster was shrouded in the beam of searchlight, lying on the ground holding its head.
