Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"it is good."

Alpha's modified protective suit has space to accommodate Seria's big tail and dragon horns, and uses the neurosensing technology of the Sky Garden to improve the feedback speed and accuracy of the system. The new energy system also improves battery life. A substantial improvement.

"This is a very mature desert extreme environment protective suit. Now the environment outside the car is nothing to it. The modifications I made mainly focused on the exoskeleton system, and then enhanced the three-defense function." Alpha patted the suit. Equipment, "Rheinland Life has mass-produced power-assisted combat equipment, so I ask you to help me evaluate its performance. We have to modify a set for everyone during the next few days on the road."

"Enhance the three-defense function..." Ceria saw the panels with radiation hazard patterns stacked on the floor next to her, and remembered the three-defense essentials in the base walker's combat manual, "especially strengthened against nuclear radiation. Protection, will we really encounter that thing?"

"Who knows if someone will take an old fission reactor and travel directly to the back garden of a royal chieftain. Even if the spent fuel rods are not used to make weapons or anything else, they are just exposed to the external environment. Enough to bring huge danger.”

"I understand." Ceria is very powerful, but she is not a reckless person. Responding to different dangers and adopting corresponding strategies is the best way to ensure that the problem is solved. Failure to prepare is like giving up life.

Facts have proved that Alpha's skills are indeed good. Her modified protective suit performed perfectly in all aspects. This system can really keep up with her own speed and even enhance her own strength. This makes Ceria Very surprised.

"Generally speaking, I still recommend using it with firearms to reduce the damage to protective clothing in close combat."

"I understand." Seria couldn't play with things like the Rutland gun, but to be honest, Seria liked Alpha's firearms a little bit. They were so efficient.

The Life Star continued to maintain the rhythm of stopping for corrections during the day when the sun was shining brightly, and moving at full speed after the temperature dropped at night. On the vast sandy ground, the performance of the base walker was fully utilized. The group of people moved at a speed of eighty to one Heading towards the goal at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

"The distance is very close, but I always feel a little strange." After parking the vehicle one morning, Alpha launched the unmanned reconnaissance drone again. This time, the drone was equipped with a large terrain mapping pod and a comprehensive life detection radar. , now that it is close to the projection point of that high-dimensional disturbance in the real dimension, Alpha needs to let the drone go to the surrounding areas to detect possible anomalies.

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since you noticed the disturbance and when we got here?"

"After all, it's close to [-] kilometers in one month."

"One month," Ceria said with emotion while controlling the joystick of the drone remote control station in the bridge, "We are already very fast, but the month that has passed is enough for a lot to happen. A lot of things.”

"Our current coordinates are still about a hundred kilometers away from the observation tower site No. 33 given by Kelsey. This may be the first place where the abnormal phenomenon occurred, but how many traces can be left is no longer something we can do. It’s decided.”

At this time, Ceria discovered a very strange object appeared in the drone's field of view. She immediately pointed all the sensing equipment at it, wanting to take a closer look at what it was.

9. Into the Yellow Sand part.2-Remains

"Alpha! Found the anomaly!"

"Let me take a look!" Alpha quickly ran to the drone control station. At this time, the technical screen on the side began to display the Sjet comprehensive photoelectric analysis system that can remotely analyze the remains of alien spacecraft in the sand sea of ​​Karak. Scan the data returned by the device.

"A kind of high-strength reinforced concrete with a very special proportion. It looks like it should be part of some kind of underground facility? And it has been a long time since it took shape."

Ceria glanced at the information roughly analyzed by the spectroscopic equipment next to her, and compared the construction technologies she had come into contact with in her mind. "I don't remember the specific ratio of raw materials clearly, but this method of use is not common in the construction of mobile cities. This kind of concrete is used on a large scale in Terra... maybe only those who built cities underground in legends Dulin."

"Let's go on a field trip and hope we get lucky this time."

……

The base walkers quickly came to the vicinity of the marked abnormal building wreckage. Under the leadership of Koloff, the guys in the action preparation team also wore protective equipment. More action personnel will help improve the efficiency of clue search. Moreover, Cross, Migru and Fen had previous work experience as police officers, and they had experience in on-site investigations.

"Kolof, Seria and I enter the abandoned facility. You organize a perimeter check, pay attention to the readings of the instruments in your hands, and pay attention to the warnings in all directions. Even if there are no traps set by hostile personnel, there are all kinds of dangerous wild animals. The threat cannot be underestimated.”

"I see!"

Alpha moves with the Crimson Shadow's body. Her body is strong enough to withstand extremely harsh environments that are unimaginable to ordinary people. The alienation and enhancement given to her by Pamish makes her body immune to damage even in the wastewater pit of the Chernobyl reactor. Even most biological and chemical contaminants cannot affect her any more than staining her clothes.This time she simply put on a set of bomb slings and a protective helmet, tied up her hair, mainly to prevent her long hair from being caught by foreign objects in a narrow space, and wore lighting equipment.

Cunben put a dust cover on his joints, installed an additional searchlight, and followed the two into the wreckage.

The ruins of the building are eerily quiet. In a month, no wild animals have used this place as their nest. I don’t know if the creatures on Terra are naturally more vigilant, or if they haven’t noticed the existence of something here. risk factors.

"There seems to be nuclear radiation here, very weak..." Ceria shook her radiation sensor and wiped off the sand that had just been stained on the display screen. "It is higher than the natural background radiation, but it is not yet to disease-causing intensity.”

"Well, the amount of radiation is much lower than an X-ray. As long as you don't live and eat here for a long time, most people won't have any problems. However, according to the radiation measurement, this place once belonged to an underground nuclear facility, so there should be no need to escape."

"What is that?" A shadow with a strange outline in the darkness caught Seria's attention. She pointed the firearm in her hand and illuminated that angle with the gun light. It was the remains of a human of unknown race. , wearing protective gear, in the dry Sargon Desert, for a month, his body had dried to the point of becoming waxy.Ceria cautiously approached, ready to inspect the body, but was stopped by Alpha.

"Be careful, there are booby traps under the body!" As she said that, she reached under the body as if nothing happened and took out an oval grenade. The grenade had its pull ring removed and was leaning on the handle. Stay ready.

"It is not a product of Originium technology..."

"Well, the detonation principle of Maozi's F1 grenade is similar to the ammunition used by my Kalashnikov. This position is its fuse." Alpha holds the grenade that may explode at any time in his hand. This operation is considered Terra, who is extremely talented per capita, is also a very explosive and desperate operation.

She calmly took out her short knife, disembowelled the grenade, and separated the fuse from the missile body. "Pop, pop!" There were two explosions in succession. The fuse that was thrown into the corner first broke off the handle, and then the detonator inside exploded, but nothing was caused.

The danger was eliminated. Alpha and Ceria knelt down to inspect the body. The protective gear and clothing he wore really looked like they were spliced ​​together. Although Alpha, who was not into tactics, could not recognize everything, he could basically identify the clothes on the man. It is a set of functional civilian products. The bulletproof vest is an American brand, but the bulletproof insert plate removed from the vest's interlayer has Chinese characters written on it. I don't know if it was purchased from a certain treasure store.

His weapon is also mounted on himself. It is an AK with a modified goggles and upper receiver, a vertical grip and a reflex sight. As a general military fan, Alpha can only confirm that this is an AK. The specific model of the AK family rifle that uses 5.45 caliber bullets cannot be determined.There was also a magazine full of bullets on the body, and there were two empty magazines in the storage bag on the waist. The magazines on the firearm were penetrated by bullets during the battle and were damaged. It can be seen that the intensity of the battle was not high. Low.

"The triple-A ceramic bulletproof insert sold by Shenzhou Online has no trademark. This thing was penetrated. The bullet used by the other party was M995?"

Seria dug out a lot of bullet casings from the yellow sand on the ground around her. "Look at these. There are roughly three types of bullets."

"Nine millimeters, [-] and [-], let me see...wait a minute, there are more than three types. This is a [-] x [-]R bullet. Which old Maozi machine gun is it a masterpiece?"

……

Not only that one corpse, but in the concrete structure that was not completely submerged by the yellow sand, they found three corpses with similar outfits and wearing the same logo.

"Is this an attack on an army stationed at a facility?"

"It's not the army. The regular army with this equipment level corresponding to the era would hardly use this kind of skull badge, and the clothes they wear are civilian products with certain military indicators and functions. You can see the trademarks and bells and whistles, but they are of little use. visual style design.”

"You mean they're mercenaries?"

"Well, some mercenaries in Central Europe, like Terra's mercenaries, are engaged in the business of selling their lives for money. The firearms they use are somewhat outdated compared to the equipment on their bodies, and the bullets they use are relatively ordinary."

"Does it mean that the performance of the bullet is not good?"

"Yes, the bullets they use are very cheap ordinary steel-core bullets. They can only penetrate soft body armor and are almost powerless against the insert plate. And judging from the traces of the battle here, their opponents are well prepared. The protection is comprehensive and some advanced technical equipment is used, which gives them an unequal advantage." Alpha dug out a gadget from the sand. It looked like a small dumbbell, but a hole was made in the middle by a bullet. .Seria could tell at a glance that it had the same wheat wheels as Benben's on both sides. This kind of special tires can be seen a lot in Terra.And there is a very complex equipment structure.

"A reconnaissance car..."

10. In-depth records of Huangsha part.3-ASH

"Can you use your ability to retrace the battles that took place here?" Ceria asked curiously while using an engineering shovel to clean up the yellow sand accumulated in the facility.

Alpha's eyes flashed, and after a while, she shook her head, "You can't see that the time and history of this structure started from the moment they came to this world, and the previous parts remained. Where they should be.”

"Okay...is this one?" Seria's engineering shovel dug out several red gadgets that exploded from the sand, and they looked like some kind of bullet casings.

"This is a shotgun shell..." Alpha pointed to the unlucky one among the four remains who had half of his head blown off. "It looks like a shotgun shell that can handle light protective gear was used." As she said this, she used The knife pulled out a very short dart-shaped projectile from the half-drawn head of the remains, "Oh, a tungsten alloy flechette." When she said this with emotion, she completely forgot about the shotgun that was standard on her car. The ammunition is made of tungsten-based composite material.

"There is still a section of road ahead. This is a section of corridor that was broken and sunk in the quicksand. At the end of the corridor ahead, there are some rooms. Those rooms are also on the surface. Let's go around and have a look."

Koloff and his team who searched outside also found a large number of bullet casings, and inside the hole in the outer wall of the opposite room, they found the body of a giant desert rock crab that had been hollowed out by scavengers. The crab's shell was heavily riddled with bullet holes, as well as damage caused by the explosion of some kind of explosive.

"A rock crab of this size is difficult to deal with." Seria looked at the rock crab, which was bigger than a car. "It seems that the person who was attacked successfully killed it and used the cracks it dug to open it. The mouth left the building."

The two got into the room through the breach. It looked like a very old laboratory, with equipment and utensils of unknown purpose piled everywhere. Some of the equipment looked very old, even on the worn shell. You can see signs from the former Soviet Union, and some of the broken instruments are very new. Alpha saw a broken small centrifuge and a PCR amplification machine...

Among the broken utensils on the experimental table on the side of the room, Alpha and Seria saw something familiar to them - the Origin Stone crystal.

"Judging from the glossiness of the crystals, the purity of these Source Stones is very high, but those instruments..."

"The equipment on my car is more advanced than these and is integrated into a fully automatic experimental bench. Even I can't recognize all of these things, but they should all be instruments that can be seen in biological and chemical laboratories."

……

[Mission record: Day 18, recorder, Alisa Cohen.Today is the eighth day since we decided to leave the remains of the magnetic mountain laboratory. This desert is a hundred times more dangerous than the Sahara, with ferocious beasts we have never seen lurking everywhere.We met a caravan of local people. The language used by the locals was unheard of, but some of them knew an awkward-sounding English dialect, and we barely managed some communication.But before communicating, we can already confirm that this place is not the earth we are familiar with. After all, there will be no crocodile people wearing light-colored linen and walking on two feet on the earth. This is simply crazy.

The translator of the caravan said that they were going to a town and allowed us to go with them. Fortunately, we still had a little emergency gold with us, which could be used to pay for this section of the journey. We did not need to be in a situation where we were extremely short of food and water and lost our way. I forced myself to cross the desert. 】

[Mission record: Day No. 19, recorder, Alisa Cohen.Today is the ninth day since we left the wreckage of the laboratory. Yesterday we traveled nearly [-] kilometers. Fortunately, everyone is in good condition and can still maintain sufficient physical strength.

We discovered a problem that has been ignored before, that is, there are not only crocodile people here who walk upright on two legs, er, should they be called Adakris people?The other guys also have more or less animal characteristics. The captain of the caravan is of the same race as the big crocodile men, but he looks more like a human. He only has a big tail behind his waist and the head of the translator. There is a pair of furry ears on the head, and there is a person in the team whose hair is partly in the shape of bird feathers.

The locals were extremely physically strong. The captain of the guard guarding the caravan had an almost all-steel spear. The spear weighed at least thirty kilograms. It was difficult for Alexander to lift it, but that guy could throw the javelin like a javelin thrower. A solid iron rod was thrown dozens of meters away.We need to consume dozens of bullets and explosives to deal with the creature called the rock crab. This overly strong guy can use cold weapons to fight in a duel!The world is so crazy that in just a few days we have become numb to the madness. 】

[Mission record: No. 20, day two, recorder, Alisa Cohen.Today we arrived at the destination of the caravan, a desert town called Changquan Town. The residents of this town are probably a few thousand people. A landowning class called the royal chiefs rules this place. The various industries in this small town are underdeveloped, and the social management is relatively chaotic. We can find a place to stay here even without identity.After discussion, we made it clear that the first priority is to ensure our own survival, and the second is to find a way to return home. To be honest, I have a pessimistic attitude about whether we can really return home.

Today is the first day we settled here. We found an abandoned house in a small settlement about one kilometer away from the town. It is said that this is an isolation settlement for patients with some kind of disease, but we have no choice. , Kuz found a doctor in the town and learned some information. From the information we got, the main thing is to protect yourself from air dust and avoid being scratched by the mineral called source stone.Compared with the severe infectious diseases we have dealt with before, this supposedly incurable disease is actually not that scary. 】

……

……

"Starting from here are the footprints they left in this world." Alpha opened the consciousness link device and shared the pictures he observed from his high-dimensional perspective with Ceria. Of course, these pictures were processed and only the human brain was retained. The amount of information that can be tolerated.

"Four well-equipped military personnel, carrying firearms..." Of course, Seria could not have seen all the various firearms on the planet, but she already understood the operating principle of this weapon, and after seeing the real thing, she could easily identify it. How armed are the four people, "a machine gunner, a breacher carrying an automatic rifle, an attacker carrying a bulletproof shield, and an engineer carrying a shotgun, a short gun, and equipment on his back?"

"Well, I think I even know who the four of them are..." Alpha rubbed his eyebrows, it really was the four of them!As for Levi Klitschko, she still hopes to find a top scientist here who is more in line with the background of the times and is a top scientist in high energy physics and bioengineering!

"They just went to Changquan Town and didn't spend half a year in the wilderness..." Alpha said to himself.

Ceria, who knew that she was recalling the strange knowledge of another world, did not answer. She knew very well that this meant that from this point on, things would not develop within the scope of "memory" and "plot" , they will face more variables, which may be better solved, and things may become more complicated.

"Let's go to Changquan Town."

At this time, Ceria heard an unusual noise coming from the underground, "Be alert!"

11. Going deep into the yellow sand part.4-Accelerate!

"Get ready to engage the enemy!" Before Seria could finish her words, several sand pillars suddenly burst out, and several black shadows emerged from the sand dunes, heading towards Fen and Koloff, who were standing on the outermost edge.Without thinking, Koloff instantly deployed his tactical shield to block the black shadow's attack. At this time, the shotgun was already in his hand and emitted an angry explosion. 32 tungsten-based composite arrow-shaped bullets , and in an instant, an exaggerated scarlet painting was painted on the desert with the flesh and blood of the attacker.

boom!The electromagnetic rifle in Ceria's hand completed an activation. The soft metal armored bullet with extremely high muzzle velocity was very suitable for killing soft targets without heavy protection. The deformed bullet instantly created a terrifying cavity, directly killing the first target. The two attackers cut him apart.

"Shrink the formation to defend!" There were lurking attackers under the surrounding desert. Ceria and Alpha could feel the movement of them burrowing into the ground. Only then did everyone see clearly the "big black beast" that had just emerged from the dunes. The true appearance of "rats" is that they appear to be mutated and deformed sand beasts. Strange crystals of flesh and blood appear abruptly on their backs, which should be the source stone structure.

"The sand beast is a very gentle and timid creature. Logically speaking, even if it mutates, it should not take the initiative to attack..." Ceria was very confused. Rhine Life would also use cultivated sand in some research. As an experimental animal, she had never heard of such animals drilling into the sand in groups to attack people.

"Either they are too frightened, or someone is controlling them to attack us. Diesel, use the Originium Skills Early Warning Array to scan the surrounding areas and prepare for air-to-ground strikes."

At this time, the mutated sand beasts launched a second attack. Several sand beasts rushed out of the sand dunes from different places and rushed towards the formation of everyone. Seria used calcification to maintain the foot of everyone. The high-strength hardening of the ground made it impossible for these sand beasts to launch a sudden attack from the middle of everyone's formation.

"Haha!" Migru and Fen worked together to knock down a sand beast. Fen's spear pierced its torso, and Migru's fighting sword chopped off its head. Together, they finished the beast. The painful life of the ugly creature, the other sand beasts disappeared like waves hitting the breakwater in the face of the crossfire of three electromagnetic rifles and a shotgun, without causing any substantial damage.

"Phew, it's done!" Fen pulled out his weapon from the body of the sand beast. In the past, everyone in the action preparation team was likely to be injured in a surprise attack of this level. But now, regardless of tactics, everyone Both his level and his state of mind when encountering an enemy have become much more mature than before.

boom!boom!Seria, who was standing in the distance, fired two shots in her direction. Fen and Migru could hear the whistling of the bullets as they passed by them. They turned around in horror and saw the sand that they had just killed. Next to the earth beast's corpse, there were two more twisted masses of flesh that were shattered by bullets.

"Even if you destroy the enemy, you can't be careless." Seria and Alpha walked over. Seria patted the two little ones who were so frightened that they stayed in place. "On this land, it looks absolutely dead, but There are many people who can launch sneak attacks when you are not prepared."

"Do you recognize that thing?" Alpha squatted down next to the remains of the sand beast and fiddled with the two strange lumps of flesh with a short knife.

"I have never seen such infected creatures. They are so deformed that I cannot recognize their original appearance at all..."

Alpha pointed to the dead body of the sand beast, "These two masses of flesh and blood are attached to the back of the sand beast infected with ore disease." She used a knife to cut open the messy back of the sand beast. Under the flesh and skin, you can see some weird connective tissue that penetrated the original organism and penetrated into its spine. "This is how these two parasites completely controlled the sand beast. "

Seria moved closer, and through the mask of the protective suit, she could see the connective tissue wrapping the nerve cells and Originium particles. Alpha was right.

"This is too scary..." After hearing this, Fen and Migru shivered in fear, "Could this thing be able to even us..."

"From a general perspective, parasites have a relatively narrow range of choices for parasites..." Common sense and experience are common sense, but Ceria feels that this time, it is inconsistent with common sense and experience.

"I'm afraid they are man-made. They have no reproductive system and cannot reproduce themselves. All life activities depend on the nutrients in the body of the sand beast. After the death of the sand beast, these things that are almost tumors will probably not survive independently for more than a day. "
