Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan knew that the transparent "egg" they found was actually the "core" of an erosion seed...

The "core" is the body of the erosion seed. An erosion seed will only have one "core", and their way of reproduction is by invading other organisms, assimilating their cells, and then generating a brand new one in the host's body. "Nuclear" to complete... But what makes Ke Lan a little confused is why the 776 special team encountered a "core" that "seemed to be completely harmless" instead of a complete corrosive seed. ?

If it was the latter, things wouldn't have happened so suddenly, and the team's losses might have been reduced a lot.

Is this a hibernation mode similar to suspended animation? Or is it a form of trap used to trap prey? Ke Lan wasn't sure.

The recording continues to play...

"Our weapons cannot cause effective damage to this monster at all, and we can only rely on the heavy machine guns of the fearless warriors to restrict its movements..."

"Four more people died... Samuel died, and we lost the only fearless warrior, as well as Joseph and Danny... Moriyama, who always spoke with a Japanese accent, couldn't survive... The tentacle pierced his lungs directly..."

"We don't have time to bury them, we can only run along the coastline..."

"The monster didn't catch up, we are safe for now."

"The cape directly in front of us looks like an eagle's beak. Connelly said it would be better to name this place the eagle's beak. We are now about 50 meters away from the eagle's beak... Damn it, there is no north or south in this damn place... Point to north. The needle is spinning crazily, and the sun is always hanging directly above the head..."

Hearing this, Ke Lan recalled the beach where he woke up. There did not seem to be such a Cape Eagle on the coastline within sight... From this point of view, the 776 Special Forces Team should be at the other end of the deserted island. Seeds of erosion encountered.

"July 20th. I began to suspect... that we may have entered a... how should I say... an abnormal space... This place is like a cage, a prison... it may be for that It was prepared by a monster, and we, the people, are the bait for that monster..."

"Sergeant Collins proposed leaving here by sea. He thought it would be impossible for the rescue force to find the island... To be honest, I must admit that he was right..."

"We fixed the two inflatable kayaks together, clamped the armor plates into paddles, and mounted them on the motor... But a fatal problem faced us - the material of the kayaks could not withstand the long-term exposure to sea water. Corrosion, there's a good chance we'll sink directly to the bottom of the sea on the way."

"Connelly thought it was a suicidal act and he had a row with the sergeant."

"Everyone is in a very low mood, including myself."

Immediately afterwards, there was another long series of electric noises... which seemed to be mixed with some gunshots and explosions that sounded far away...

Suddenly, the voice of the previous commander sounded again, with a rather excited tone——

"We found a rock well! The walls of this rock well are very smooth. It is definitely not naturally formed. It should be a legacy of the Alpha civilization... Of course, these are not important. The important thing is... we found that The monster seems to be very afraid of this rock well, and it doesn't dare to approach it at all..."

"I don't know what is under the rock well. Maybe it is the natural enemy of that monster - a more terrifying creature, but in any case, this is our only chance... We have lost two-thirds of our people, and None of the people sent to the desert came back, so I gave the order to have everyone else get into the rock well."

Iwai? Ke Lan was slightly stunned. Could it be that the rock well they mentioned was another exit of the cave?

If this is correct, then the formation of this cave is probably inseparable from the Alpha people...

"Below the rock well is a passage reinforced with alloy materials...walk along the passage..."

A burst of exclamations suddenly appeared in the recording.

"This, this is..."

"The Alphas are building a huge basement underground on this desert island... I don't know what the use of these things is... This may be a chemical plant, or maybe a laboratory or something like that... There is There are many quartz jars more than ten meters high, filled with turbid liquid... There are also many metal brackets with shackles and other things attached to them, which look like... well... a torture device."

"Chemical plant? Laboratory?" Ke Lan lightly bit the nail of his thumb... According to the description of the commander of the 776 Special Forces Team, this underground space may indeed be a laboratory left by the Alpha people. As for The function of this laboratory is 100% related to the erosion seed.

The Alpha people have been conducting some extremely dangerous biological experiments. Ke Lan knows this, especially this thing called the Seed of Corrosion. If he remembers correctly, it should be the 49,6th The creation produced by one hundred and sixty-six transformation experiments...

To conduct such a large-scale experiment, you will definitely need enough venues, and this desert island should be one of them.

[P.S.] Regarding the black box, in the previous chapter, a reader mentioned that the black box on the airplane should be orange. In order to be eye-catching and easy to find and easy to recycle, this is indeed the case... But the black box I have here has an extended meaning, and it is the same as the black box on the airplane. The black box is not the same thing. It is mainly used to indicate that this thing is a "confidential action file", so a more serious black color was chosen.

In addition, in terms of recovery, the black box itself has a high-power signal transmitting device, so it is not that important whether the color is eye-catching... After all, Alpha Planet is vast and sparsely populated, and it is almost impossible for the recovery team to visually search for something the size of a palm. If it is painted bright orange, it will be easily mistaken for some kind of food by indigenous creatures and swallowed...

【P.P.S.】About the development of weapon technology on the Ark. Before the Ark arrived on Alpha Star, the development of individual weapons was almost at a standstill. Firstly, it was to save as much manpower and material resources as possible for the long-distance voyage of the Ark. Secondly, the weapons of the old era were fully sufficient. The needs of the military: In previous voyages, humans have never experienced external combat, and in the case of internal combat (such as suppressing rebellions, public security, etc.), the power of weapons from the old era is completely sufficient.

It was not until the discovery of Alpha Planet that the shortcomings of individual weapons were exposed, and Ark began to invest resources and scientific research in this aspect.

Therefore, the equipment configuration of the 776 Special Forces Team is basically the same as that of the old era.

[P.P.P.S] I forgot to mention it before. The reader group number is 564747351. The password to join the group is the name of the protagonist (it can be the protagonist in any of my books). There are people who like to discuss plot settings or chat and gossip. Friends can join a group.
