Alien Relic Hunter

"My written test scores at the Air Force Academy were not very good. I was not selected into the fleet's crew class and was assigned to the Marine Corps on a fast assault ship." Mo Jue continued.

"Fourth-class soldiers, Ma Run, get the worst equipment and do the hardest and most tiring work. They have the highest mortality rate in the entire Air Force fleet." Thirty-three shrugged, "Obviously they are a unit affiliated with the Air Force system. As a result, the monthly military pay, food and clothing allotment are not even as good as those of the garrison... Do you know what other troops call Marine? 'Humanoid self-propelled bipedal multi-purpose animal'."

"Yes...the Marine Corps' treatment is very poor, and the combat tasks assigned are also very heavy." Mo Jue nodded, "But thanks to this, I have accumulated a lot of military exploits and experience. Compared with those who For the job of operating a battleship, it seems that I am more suitable to be a soldier who charges into battle... In my third year of joining the army, I was selected by O.D.S.T and became a 'Hell Paratrooper'."

"Being selected by O.D.S.T. shows that you are very talented in this area. It would be a real waste if you were sent to drive a battleship." Thirty-three nodded.

"But I only stayed in O.D.S.T. for less than a year. I was seriously injured during a combat mission and had to choose to retire." Mo Jue pointed to the man-made parts on his body and said, "I have taken good care of myself. After being injured and returning home, I found out that my mother had died of illness a month ago, and my father had gathered a group of people and formed a little-known team of 'lumberjacks'."

Mo Jue sighed and continued: "Actually, he had already started exploring the Gray Mist Forest before I graduated from the Air Force Military Academy. The identity of 'Lumberjack' was just a cover, but it was not a completely false identity. , their team’s various activity funds, equipment purchase expenses, and living expenses of all family members all need to be obtained by selling fog perch trees. In this way, they explore the gray fog forest while harvesting fog perch trees...

"My father originally didn't want me to join this team, but at that time I was discharged from the army due to injury and the double blow of my mother's death. I was very depressed and even tried to commit suicide... He had no choice but to take me with him. As time went by, I became integrated into this team.

“At the beginning, I didn’t know their true purpose of forming this team. I naively thought that they were exploring deeper into the forest to harvest better quality mist trees and make more money... Until one day, I Outside his father's tent, he overheard a conversation between him and several of the first members who formed the team with him.

"The content of the conversation was very vague, and I couldn't hear it very clearly, but they mentioned the central area of ​​the forest many times, and what other wrecks, ruins and the like..."

wreckage? ! Ruins? ! Does this refer to the engine wreckage site located in the middle of the gray fog forest?

Ke Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath... Isn't this a secret that only the Undead Crew Guild is qualified to know? Why would Mo Jue's father know? !

"My father and those people were very alert. I only eavesdropped for a few minutes before I was discovered. I still remember that the other people had strange expressions at that time, but they left quickly without saying anything. After that, my father took me Pulled into the tent." Mo Jue recalled, "He asked me what I heard, and my answer was the same as what I just said. He sighed, patted me on the shoulder, and said How about I quit this team and find another job?

"I didn't understand very much. I asked him what he meant... He hesitated for a long time before telling me that they were pursuing a secret buried in the core of the Gray Mist Forest. This secret even involved the disappearance of the Alpha civilization. reason."

Why did Alpha civilization disappear? !

Ke Lan and everyone else present couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at Mo Jue intently, waiting for her to continue.

"But I asked him what the secret was, and he refused to tell me. He only asked me to quit the 'Lumberjack' team. Of course I refused to agree, and the matter was delayed for several months, until they Decided to launch an attack to a depth of 500 meters..."

"Then your father disappeared?" Ke Lan suddenly understood the mentality of those readers who saw that the novel he was following suddenly eunuched and wanted to hack the author to death.

"Well, my father has a notebook that he carries with him. He writes down the records of each action, the discoveries made during the exploration, and what they often discussed in meetings, but he never allowed me to touch that notebook. So for my father I may not know as much as you about the 'secret' I'm talking about. As for my brother, he only joined us after his father disappeared. He was deceived in his business and owed a lot of debt. There is really nothing he can do about it. Just found me."

"What about that notebook?" Thirty-three asked subconsciously.

"She already said that her father carried it with her. Without even thinking about it, she must have disappeared with her father." Ke Lan said, "It's a pity. If this thing can be left behind..."

Mo Jue nodded and agreed with Ke Lan's statement.

"By the way, what about the others, those who discussed the 'secret' with your father? Where are they now?" Ke Lan asked again.

"Not everyone in the team knows the 'secret'. Only the few people who originally formed this team know... But they either disappeared like their father, or died in the battle just now. The only two remaining Personally, you showed up about ten minutes after they died." Mo Jue replied.

"Fuck!" Ke Lan punched the ground angrily, "If only we could have rushed there earlier! God knows we missed such an important clue in just ten minutes!"

"Don't you even know what's in the Gray Mist Forest?" Mo Jue asked curiously, "Aren't you ruin hunters? Didn't you come here because there is a ruin in the Gray Mist Forest?"

"This matter...how should I put it..." Ke Lan smacked his lips, "Actually, the purpose of our trip has nothing to do with our identity as ruin hunters. We are also pursuing a secret, and we have It is very possible that the secret we are pursuing and the secret your father is pursuing are the same thing."

Ke Lan stretched out his fingers and pressed the temples on both sides of his head, reviewing the words Mo Jue just said one by one... In a daze, he seemed to see a few words light up in his mind.
