Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 15 Big Eyeballs
This ice wall is very reminiscent of the freezer that humans use to refrigerate food... But the meat frozen in the wall is completely incapable of reminiscent of the ingredients in the freezer...

These "meat" - let's call them "meat" - all have a very strange and terrifying appearance: the first piece of meat is covered with eyes, and the eyeballs in the eyes are of different sizes, and some have only one eye socket. Eyeballs, some are crowded with three or four, some eyeballs seem to come from mammals on the earth, but some are compound eyes unique to insects; the second piece of meat has an almost one-third The first volume of the mouth is full of blood, and the mouth is full of teeth, even the tongue and palate; the third piece of meat presents an irregular cystspore shape, which looks like a huge The tumor, through its bulging transparent surface, can be seen filled with milky white ovoids...

"What the hell is this..." Layton only felt his throat tighten. Fortunately, he only ate a little semi-liquid emergency food after the crash, so he didn't vomit directly.

"I don't know." Ke Lan shook his head slowly, "I guess it may be the food of the Alpha star... No, if it is food, it should be cultivated in batches, and the differences between individuals should not be so huge..."

Ke Lan pondered, he always felt that these pieces of meat were not unfamiliar... Where should he have seen it... in some documents?Or a video... Or, in a dream?

"Food? Are the Alphas too heavy?" Layton gasped, his breath condensed into pieces of white frost, "I think... these monsters may have been created by them through experiments. And this place is a cold room used to store experimental specimens... I tell you, the biological research laboratory on the ark does the same thing. We catch the indigenous creatures outside on the ark, and those scientists put them Stuffed in a freezer, then sunk in a pool of liquid nitrogen for storage...it's exactly like this!"

"...Is there a way to cut through the ice?" Ke Lan suddenly turned around and asked.

Layton was taken aback by this sentence: "What are you doing? Dig out these ghosts? Who knows if they are alive or dead?!"

"I always feel that these things are related to the piece of meat that turned into a hound before. If the ice wall is cut, maybe we will find more." Ke Lan said.

"But we may also be eaten by living monsters!" Layton firmly disagreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the beam of light shot out from the mechanical arm went out after a flash, and darkness returned to the passage again, and those scalp-numbing pieces of flesh were once again hidden in the black ice.

"...The energy consumption of this concentrated mode is higher than that of diffusion..." Layton complained, digging out a waste crystal whose energy was exhausted from the robotic arm, and then taking out a new crystal changed in.

"Let's not say whether I agree with you or not. Even if we want to dig, we have no tools and no energy. What do we use to dig? Hand planing?" Layton sighed, "Before we parted, we left the old dog and the others behind. A part of the crystallization, and now we have less than fifty units left, which is really not enough to see, and my mechanical prosthesis still needs to be driven by this thing, if I run out, I will be considered useless."

"It's because of our luck," Layton continued. "It's been a long time since I came in, and I haven't seen a single crystal... Hey, why are you staring at me?"

"Pay attention to your back... don't turn your head too fast, be mentally prepared." Ke Lan whispered, he was not staring at Layton, but was attracted by something behind Layton.

"...Oh." Layton was stunned for a moment, then nodded angrily, a drop of cold sweat slid down his cheek and dripped onto the armor on his chest.

Although he turned his head very slowly, even though he was mentally prepared, when he saw the huge eye, his heart skipped a beat—

"...I...grass..."

A huge eyeball with a diameter of one meter is facing through a thin layer of ice, looking at Leidon who turned around!

"Ready to run, this thing was not here just now, just when you replaced the crystal, it appeared... It seems to have the ability to move freely in the ice..."

There was only a thin layer of black ice standing in front of the big eyeball, and it seemed to be able to break free from it at any time and enter the passage where Layton and Ke Lan were.

"...Run?...Run to where?" Layton lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing this thing.

"You can't run back." Ke Lan gestured to the front of the passage with his eyes.

"...What if there is such a thing in front of you?"

"Then if we run back, what about this thing? What about the old dog and Ivan?" Ke Lan asked rhetorically.

"This..." Layton gritted his teeth, "How about we fight? Isn't it just an eyeball..."

"Do you have to choose the next strategy? Wait... it doesn't seem to find us?" Ke Lan suddenly found that the eyeball seemed to slowly turn around and began to move downward.

The side of the eyeball was exposed to the sight of the two of them. They found that the eyeball was not independent. There were many fleshy hoses with the thickness of the arms connected to its back. There were blue-black veins under the hoses, which looked like are the blood vessels under the cortex.

Where these fleshy hoses lead and what they are connected to is not something they can see.

"...it...where is it going?" Layton still didn't dare to move, and the whole person froze.

"I don't know, but do you feel... this thing, it seems to be patrolling..."

"When you say that, it really smells like that... It's like... a surveillance camera in a cold room, but that thing can only move on the rails." Layton breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, I haven't been found this time, maybe next time I won't be so lucky." After the eyeballs completely sank into the ground, and even the fleshy hoses growing behind were all submerged into the darkness, the two carefully moved out. a small step.

"Huh... I'm scared to death... Fortunately, the eyes are so big, but the eyes are not very good, otherwise it will be really troublesome this time." Layton sighed.

"It should have been attracted by the strong light we released before. Just when the energy was exhausted and the lights went out, we were lucky to escape." Ke Lan said, he wiped his forehead, his hands full It's all tiny ice balls formed from sweat.

"Let's live... let's go, let's go, I don't want to stay in this place for a second."
