Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 144 Shaking
"I always feel that there is something staring at us from a place we can't see... tsk... This feeling is really fucking annoying." The old dog walked to Ke Lan's side and pointed to the hidden place in front of him. In the passage in the darkness, "How about... directly blasting all the way through with shells, covering it with indiscriminate firepower?"

"Will that scare the snake away?" Ivan asked, obviously he didn't agree with the plan.

"It's true... If we can force those things out, then this is a good plan, but if we blow up all the way and nothing happens, what should we do? Going forward, we will be called 'no return' by the miners." Even if all the reserves in the entire base are transported in, I am afraid that only a small area can be cleaned... For the entire mine, it is almost a drop in the bucket." Ke Lan shook his head, according to the previous collection According to the information and clues obtained, it can be deduced that the creatures hidden in the depths of the mine should have extremely high IQ... They are not ordinary beasts, and they are not so easy to be fooled.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a special individual commanding those creatures. If this is the case, then this special individual should be an advanced intelligent creature with an intelligence level no less than that of human beings.

Higher intelligent creatures... Could it be that there is an Alpha man with a clear consciousness living in Leviathan's body?
Ke Lan himself was taken aback by this idea, but when he thought about it, he felt that this possibility was too slim: no trace of Alpha people was found among so many remains of Alpha civilization. How could there be a living Alpha in the body of a prehistoric monster?
Assuming that an Alpha man is swallowed by a living Leviathan——based on the data estimated by the core computer of the Ark, and converting the energy crystals of all proven mineral veins into heat energy, the body of this giant beast will be It is equivalent to a large melting pot where nuclear fusion reactions are going on all the time. Let alone Alpha people, even if you throw the seeds of erosion into it, they will not survive for a second...not even the residue will be left.

As for the Leviathan after death, the Alpha people obviously did not develop its remains-no trace of mining was found in all the mines.Even this ecological circle based on Leviathan's skeleton has not experienced any interference from the outside world except humans.

It was a cemetery, as it was to the Leviathan, and it was to the Alpha Civilization.

It's a pity that most of the Alpha civilization documents unearthed from the ruins are sealed in the core research institute, and Ke Lan has no access to them at all. The clues that he can look up with his authority are not even clues.

Leviathan...or in other words, what kind of existence are the "prehistoric" giant beasts existing on this planet to the Alpha civilization?

An enemy that threatens survival?Is it a god to worship?Or... is it a beast raised by the Alpha people?
Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the phantom he saw underground on the deserted island... In the space behind the rusty airtight door, a giant beast of the wilderness was once imprisoned by the Alphas...

Or, these prehistoric species living on the Alpha planet are actually the creations of the Alpha civilization?

Ke Lan looked down at the hard rocky ground under his feet, and couldn't connect it with the word biological. If the Alpha civilization has already surpassed these prehistoric species, then the "god" they worship , what kind of existence would it be?
If only I had the opportunity to see those precious documents...

Thinking of this, Ke Lan felt a little doubt in his heart... Regarding his special ability, would it be a wrong decision to choose to conceal it?

If he chooses to cooperate with Ark officials, not to mention all the translations of the archived Alpha Civilization documents, as long as he can interpret a part of them, the impact on the entire human world will be incalculable... and even the human world will be rewritten. The future fate of the race...

But he is also very clear in his heart that if he chooses to confess, what he will face will be the complete loss of personal freedom...even the loss of dignity and life-the reason why human beings can survive until now in a disaster that is enough to extinction is because human beings A decision that is so rational that it is almost cruel: Anyone who can board Noah's Ark is an "excellent human being" who has undergone genetic selection. Except for these seeds, other people were ruthlessly abandoned there. on a dying planet.

Even the leaders of the major forces that dominated the construction of the Ark were classified as "abandoned". They handed over power to younger and better offspring, and they themselves chose and The parent star of the world is going to die together.

Survival is the instinct of living beings, and Ke Lan is no exception. He knows that he is just an ordinary person. He has no lofty ideals and ambitions, nor does he have the lofty ideological consciousness of those great men... He is just an ordinary person.

However, when this ability came to him, can he still be regarded as an ordinary person?
Among the old movies he had seen in the old era, there was one called "Spider-Man", in which he was very impressed by a sentence: "With great power comes great responsibility." Translated into Chinese, it means: With great power comes great responsibility bigger.

Ke Lan was a little shaken...

But, do I really want to take this responsibility for this inexplicably acquired ability?This responsibility that would even cause him... to die?

Isn't there a third option?
The more Ke Lan thought about it, the more irritable he became, but at this moment, the shock detector suddenly remembered a sharp siren, interrupting his thoughts——

"Be careful, there seems to be something in front." Ke Lan immediately put those messy thoughts behind him, activated the energy shield on the armor, and assumed a posture of attacking.

"I didn't see anything." The old dog said in a deep voice, but saying so, he also activated the energy shield.

"Me too." Layton took a step back, standing in front of Akira Asano and Ivan.

"Very subtle vibration." Ke Lan glanced at the display screen of the instrument, "straight ahead, at 65 meters, the vibration frequency is [-] seconds each time, sixteen points appear alternately, with a high degree of consistency... maybe Some kind of arthropod."

"It's approaching, only 50 meters away from us." Ke Lan held his breath.

"45 meters."

"40 meters."

"35...Old dog, fire a flare, the landing point is 20 meters directly in front."

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the hound pulled the trigger. With a bang, a flare the size of a can was fired from the barrel of the grenade launcher, and landed on the ground 20 meters away without any mistakes. Accompanied by a soft sound of "thrilling", the high-intensity light emitted by the burning metal immediately illuminated the entire tunnel as if it were daytime!
