Alien Relic Hunter

However, to be selected into the 776th Special Forces Squadron, Collins would certainly not be the kind of rookie who would vomit out everything in his stomach when seeing a dead man on the battlefield. He took a few deep breaths, squatted down next to Liao Xing, and carefully observed the monster's body with the light of the tactical flashlight.

While he was looking at the corpse, Ke Lan had already begun to analyze the information collected through his eyes——

Ke Lan noticed that if this monster is treated as a human-like creature, then her gender should be female. This is reflected in the lactation organs on the chest that are as dry as two leather bags and the promotion below. The organs can be seen.

However, the lactation organ on this monster has obviously lost its original function, and the promotion organ has also been severely degraded... From Ke Lan's point of view, "she" cannot be promoted through promotion like humans. give birth to.

"Generally speaking, only mammals have breasts..." Ke Lan muttered to himself in his head, "Although it is difficult to connect the thing in front of me with the 'breast' in ordinary people's thinking, but from the external structure, this It’s definitely breasts.”

Ke Lan once watched some war documentaries from the old era. In the documentaries, the bodies of women who suffered from famine and severe malnutrition during the war were almost like this.

As for the monster's head, the skull-like face looked scary under the pale light... But what Ke Lan felt was more of surprise.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears... all the five features that a human face should have are on this "monster"'s face. Although the eyebrows have fallen out, the protruding arched brow bones are still located above the eye sockets—— Not only that, but judging from the shape of the skull under the skin, this head is also highly similar to humans.

It is no exaggeration to say that this face is far more human than that of a chimpanzee. If Ke Lan can get the head, he can even use computer software to restore the monster's "normal" face.

Filling in the missing muscles under the cheeks, adjusting the skin tone and gloss, and adding hair... these can all be completed in less than a second through the AI ​​algorithm, and the final result is likely to be a picture that is no different from that of a human woman. face……

In a daze, Ke Lan suddenly thought of the black skeleton he encountered in the cargo hold of the Pioneer icebreaker.

At first, he had mistakenly thought that the black skeleton was a monster summoned by the black bishop with the "holy word", but now that he took a closer look, the two did not seem to be the same thing.

The black skeleton summoned by the Holy Word, after being "killed", will quickly rot and become necrotic like the corpse of the corrosive seed. This is manifested in the fact that the black skeleton weathers and turns into extremely fine fragments in just a few hours. At the end - but the black skeleton remains obtained in the cargo hold of the icebreaker were preserved for at least one day without special means.

Moreover, according to the report of the Soma Foundation Research Institute, the gene of that thing is highly similar to that of humans - if one had not seen the "life" form of the black skeleton with one's own eyes, anyone with medical knowledge would be surprised by the result report alone. Everyone will firmly believe that this sample must have been taken from a human being.

That black skeleton...and the pale humanoid creature in front of me...could there be any connection between them? What kind of relationship will there be between them and humans?

Ke Lan looked at the body again from head to toe. Apart from being thin, the skin became pale due to lack of light, parts of the body were swollen and ulcerated, and the hair was completely lost, this was clearly the body of a human female!

On the surface of "her" body, there are not even extra mutated organs or vegetations.

Although the body had not been opened yet, Liao Xing's expression had become very gloomy, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were beating constantly, and his breathing gradually became a little heavier.

"Doctor Liao...could this thing be the...Alfa man who created the Alpha civilization?" Collins couldn't help but ask.

"No, 'she' cannot be Alpha. Judging from the information we have collected so far, there are many inconsistencies between 'she' and Alpha's assumed form." Liao Xing shook his head slowly. Then he said word for word, "'She' is a human being...a woman."

"How can there be humans here?!" Collins' eyes widened.

"Although I think this is ridiculous, the knowledge I have learned tells me this." Liao Xing said, "This is the body of a human female."

"It's not impossible." Sergeant Ken, who had been watching silently, suddenly said, "Maybe this is an exiled criminal who, by chance, ran into this ruins and used it as a shelter."

"No...'she' can't be a human on the Ark." Liao Xing's thin lips trembled a little, "Let's not talk about how an exile traveled so far away from the Ark without any vehicle. She came from a different place, and there is no telling how she survived without water, food, and medicine... Just because her skin is in this condition, she needs to live without seeing the light at least for five to ten years. , will become like this.”

As Liao Xing spoke, he used his rubber-gloved right hand to support the corpse's eyelids, exposing the cloudy eyeballs. "Her vision has almost been completely lost. She can only feel the changes in external light. And her retina has become extremely sensitive and photophobic... All clues indicate that she has been living in this ruins for a long time."

Noah's Ark, carrying humans, landed on this planet just two years ago.

"Could she be a member of the advance team? The earliest advance team descended to Alpha Planet in New Era 876... It has been twenty-six years ago. If she is a member of the advance team, then everything will be said It makes sense." Kino said.

"This possibility is not ruled out, but in my impression, all members of the early advance team were composed of men. It was not until New Era 899, that is, one year before the Ark landed on Alpha Planet, that the first female member was... Dr. Selina joined the Alpha Star Exploration Team as a geological researcher. At that time, equal rights organizations promoted this matter very strongly, so I remember it very clearly." Liao Xing said, "But Dr. Selina It just appeared on a TV show last month, and this body cannot be hers."

"Besides, it's impossible to turn a person into this in three years." Liao Xing added.
