Alien Relic Hunter

Moreover, according to previous information, the ruins of the undersea city were originally built on a small island. Later, the island sank to the bottom of the sea for some unknown reason, and the city of Alpha Civilization was brought down with it. , but the city in front of you is obviously not built on land.

The urban architectural style of the Alpha people is dominated by towering polygonal towers. The towers are connected to each other to form a complete urban network - no matter how stable the structure and the strength of the materials used in these towers are. It is impossible for these buildings to withstand the huge pressure two thousand meters underwater. Unless every gap in the city can be filled with seawater during the sinking process, the buildings in the entire city will be destroyed. It was badly damaged by water pressure.

But what Ke Lan saw was a relatively complete undersea city. He couldn't even use words like "ruin" or "wreck" to describe it, because most of its buildings were extremely complete and almost no trace of it could be found. No trace of damage.

Of course, based on this alone, Ke Lan would not draw that conclusion - Alpha City's most iconic tower does not exist in this underwater city at all. Everything he can see is hemispherical. The bunker-like building looks like giant bowls of different sizes resting on the seabed...

These buildings were designed in this shape from the beginning to withstand the huge water pressure from the outside world - this is not a land city that sunk into the sea at all, it was originally built underwater!

But the question that bothers Ke Lan the most now is not this, but...where is he?

This is definitely not the "relatively safe area" planned before launching into the water. If there is such an underwater city at a depth of 100 meters, even the micro sonar carried by Ke Lan himself can scan it out, let alone the Pioneer. That big thing is dozens of times more powerful than a micro sonar.

However, this is definitely not the bottom of the sea - this sea area is hundreds of nautical miles away from the coast, and the shallowest place is thousands of meters deep. If it were at that depth, Ke Lan should feel very difficult to breathe at this moment, his eyes and Due to excessive congestion in the ears, symptoms such as cloudy vision and hearing loss may also occur, and it is even possible to faint directly...

But he doesn't feel any discomfort now, which means that this place is definitely not too deep.

"Well... this city should be built on the sea platform, but I don't know where the boundary of the sea platform is..."

The sea platform, also known as the submarine plateau, is an underwater highland with a flat top... If the depth here is within three hundred meters, then this sea platform is estimated to be a thousand meters above the seabed. Domi, it is impossible for such a behemoth to escape human detection.

"It's really...evil..." Ke Lan couldn't help but say the old dog's mantra.

All the electronic equipment Ke Lan carried on his body had stopped working, and no one was spared. Not only that, but even purely mechanical devices such as the pressure gauge and underwater density meter had malfunctioned. Otherwise, the devices that rely on water pressure and water density would have failed. Using the data, he could more or less calculate the approximate depth of his location.

After taking a look at the underwater city just around the corner, Ke Lan still gave up the idea of ​​exploring. At this time, he chose to float up. Maybe there would be a chance to escape from this strange water...

But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly swayed below, flashing into the blind spot of the building where the light of the flare could not reach.

"...It seems like a figure?" Ke Lan's heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat, "Could it...be Liao Zilang?"

Ke Lan didn't notice at all when he disappeared, but if that black shadow was him... then why was he there?

If that black shadow is him... is he still alive?

Ever since Ke Lan saw the giant eye, the entire test dive operation had completely deviated from the original plan and gradually slipped into an unpredictable abyss.

"...Forget it, it's a blessing not a curse, it's a curse...If it's a curse, fuck your mother." Ke Lan gritted his teeth, picked up the Shark Hunter machine gun in his hand, turned on the safety, and pointed not far away Toured the ruins of the city.

Due to the limited range of the flares, they can only light up part of the area. Most of this underwater city is still hidden in darkness, so Ke Lan can't judge how big it is. In short, wherever he can see, everything is everywhere. They are all hemispherical buildings.

The smallest diameter of these buildings is about five to six meters, and the largest is more than 100 meters. The surface of the building is covered with a thick layer of algae. It is difficult to see the original material of the building, and it is impossible to judge the function and function of these buildings. use.

Finally, Ke Lan's feet stepped on the top of a medium-sized hemispherical building, but before he could stand firm, the algae under his feet suddenly launched an attack, and several tough seaweeds instantly wrapped around his ankles. Drag him down!

"Is this thing so aggressive?"

Four pairs of hooks popped out from the front and rear ends of the boots and were nailed to the roof. At the same time, the propellers on the feet were pushed out, and the sharp blades instantly shattered the entangled seaweed.

More seaweed came up one after another, and the propeller simply turned into a lawn mower. For a while, the algae leaf fragments were floating around, until all the algae on the roof were harvested. This "lawn mower" The machine" just stopped.

Ke Lan noticed that what attacked him was a kind of black algae that looked like kelp. After being cut, it would emit a large amount of ink-black sap. This ink-black sap would react violently when it comes into contact with the surface of the deep diving suit, producing A large number of bubbles simultaneously burned out dark marks on the surface of the deep diving suit.

"This inky black sap appears to be extremely corrosive."

Ke Lan retracted his claws, stepped lightly, and floated again - although these algae did not pose a threat to him, those corrosive juices were very troublesome. If the deep diving suit was damaged, it would probably not be possible. Failed to return to the Pioneer alive.

He adjusted the output of the thruster to the smallest setting and slowly floated forward. The place where the black shadow just appeared was not far ahead. If the largest hemispherical building was used as a marker, it would be accurate The location should be fifty to eighty meters behind and to the left of the landmark building.

"laugh--"

Another flare was ignited directly above the landmark building, and a large area that was originally in shadow was illuminated by strong light, but Ke Lan, who was standing high, found no trace of the black figure.

"Did I see it wrong?"

Just when he hesitated, the black shadow flashed across his field of vision again, this time further ahead... The black shadow seemed to be trying hard to escape from the illuminated area.

Ke Lan saw clearly this time, it was a human-shaped black shadow! There is a head on the shoulders, and the torso is connected to the legs and arms. The body size is basically consistent with that of a human!

But at the ends of the black shadow's limbs... there are several long and thin unknown objects extending out...

"That can't be... tentacles, right?" The image of the erosion seed suddenly popped into Ke Lan's mind. That kind of monster can even survive in a vacuum for a period of time, so the high pressure of the deep sea should be too strong for it. It's not a big problem...

If it was really that kind of monster, would we still chase it?
