Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 140 The Survivor's Graffiti
Twenty minutes later, a piece of paper full of weird graffiti was sent to the table in front of Ke Lan and the others—this was what the survivor drew with a pen in his hand while in a hypnotic state.

Except for a large number of messy and meaningless lines, there are only three patterns of different sizes left on the paper. These three patterns are all the same. They look a bit like stick figures in stick figures, but their limbs and torso are different. It is stretched very long, and at the position of the head, a lot of stacked lines are added, which looks like clumps of weeds.

"This is too abstract..." Layton muttered, "It looks like three... people?"

"What is this?" The old dog pointed to the heads of the three stick figures, "Is it because I haven't had my hair cut for a long time, so I covered my head?"

"Did this guy see Sadako in the mine?" Layton scratched the back of his head, "But Sadako lives in a well, not a mine."

"Sadako" is a very famous horror film in the old era. Ke Lan has also watched it. The protagonist in it, Sadako, is a female ghost with hair so long that it can cover her entire face.

"It's definitely not Sadako. Sadako's black hair is obviously much smoother. This looks like a messy bird's nest... You should know the bird's nest, right? Birds on the earth build their nests on trees, It is usually made of branches and weeds, which is almost like this." Liao Zilang retorted.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's all about the female ghost." The old dog scolded a little annoyed, "But then again, the things in the mine must have something to do with the hair, do you still remember that guy just finished taking pictures? After the mirror, start pulling your hair like crazy?"

"That's not right. Didn't Ke Lan take off the cardboard box from his head just now? Why didn't he pull Ke Lan's hair?" Layton said unconvinced.

Yeah, why don't you come and pull my hair?
Ke Lan thought about this, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to his hair, but it was empty - just the day before departure, he had just shaved a clean cut, and now the length of his hair is less than one centimeter. I can't help it at all.

As for the mentally disturbed survivor, his hair is already very long, and it is somewhat similar to the chicken coop hair style he drew by himself.

"Hair... long hair... messy hair..."

Ke Lan tapped the table with his index finger, thinking hard: Seeing humans will cause fear, but seeing heads will not... After seeing his own long hair, he will fall into madness again... No, no Madness, to be precise, that emotion should be closer to despair... But why did he feel despair after seeing his long hair?

Could it be...he thought he had become those monsters in the mine?

Ke Lan suddenly had a premonition that he seemed to be very close to the truth...but there always seemed to be some deviations.

The information from this survivor is really too little, and the only thing that is there is very misleading...

"What about the other survivors, did they really see nothing? About the stuff under the mine?"

"As long as the consciousness is still awake, everyone has been interrogated at least three times, and the answers are almost the same." Manstein pointed to the fainted survivor in the confinement room, "I'm afraid that only the fourth batch of hunters has seen the true colors of those things, but he is the only one of the fourth batch of hunters who came back alive."

The first three batches of hunters who entered the mine were all equipped with thermal imaging night vision goggles, so they did not carry lighting equipment, but after discovering that those creatures could not be seen by thermal imaging, the fourth batch of hunters changed their decision-they abandoned The thermal imaging night vision goggles, which would be seriously disturbed by the lights, instead equipped the team members with a large number of lighting equipment-but these lighting equipment are equivalent to dazzling living targets in the dark mine, and they have not even been able to compete with those The creatures fought hand to hand, and the strong acid sprayed from the shadows had already killed half the people.

The only piece of equipment that recorded this battle was the communication headset worn by the crazy survivor, but after extracting and analyzing the contents of the headset's storage chip, only messy gunshots and The screams were the same as the video recorded by Youyi playing to Ke Lan in the car before.

"Anyway, I still want to meet those survivors who stayed in the base." Ke Lan said to Manstein.

"Of course, please come with me."

……

The infirmary at the base is a three-story tower built with standardized building modules. According to Manstein, the original rated number of beds here is fifteen, but now it has to be doubled. Filled with hospital beds and medical equipment.

"There are still 29 injured people stranded here. They are all survivors of the third exploration operation. Four people were seriously injured, 15 people were slightly injured, and the remaining ten people only had some minor abrasions..."

In fact, except for the four seriously wounded, those who were less seriously injured had already fully recovered, but for the sake of confidentiality, the Soma Consortium had to put them all under house arrest in this hospital, which was used as an infirmary. In the tower, not only them, but even those hunters who had returned to the ark were temporarily restricted from personal freedom.

"By the way, do we have to be locked up for a few months after this commission is completed?" The old dog glanced at the monitoring bracelets worn by the hunters, and asked with a grim expression—that thing, with a good name The purpose is to detect the physical condition of the injured in real time, but in fact there is also a tube of concentrated explosives inside. Although the power of the explosives will not kill people, it is still easy to break an arm.

"Of course not, you are different from them." Manstein said in a low voice, "And... if Mr. Ke Lan and you can complete the commission, this secret will not be so important."

"What? Are you planning to share ultra-purity crystals with other consortiums?" Layton asked with some puzzlement.

"The Soma Consortium never thought of monopolizing all the ultra-purity crystals." Manstein narrowed his eyes. "The appetite is too big, and it will damage the body instead."

"You guys have some brains," the old dog nodded, "but... what if this thing is only found in your mines?"

"If this is the case, it depends on what the decision-makers of the consortium think... This kind of thing cannot be decided by people at my level."

"Let's not talk about this, is the commander of the third batch of hunters here? I have something to ask him." Ke Lan looked at the survivors who were sitting on the hospital bed and looking at them with doubts.

"The commander of the third batch of hunters is Keller, the security director of our base... He failed to escape from the No. [-] mine." Manstein said with a sigh.

The security director of the base is almost equivalent to Manstein's right-hand man. I didn't expect that even managers of this level were lost in the mine. I have to say that the Soma Consortium suffered heavy losses this time.
