Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 150 They were once humans

Ke Lan looked back at Asano Akira who was behind him, and saw that he was supporting his whole body weight on the war blade, his eyes were closed, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he was about to pass out at any time...

"The consumption of that move just now is so terrifying?"

Ke Lan thought to himself, Akira Asano might not be able to recover in a while... He turned his gaze back to the front, and at this moment, the six anemone heads were less than ten meters away from him.

The heat bar of the energy shield has already risen above the dangerous threshold of 70.00% five, and if it persists for at most [-] seconds, the shield generator will enter an overheated state again.

"This time, it seems that I really can only do my best..."

Just when Ke Lan turned off the shield and was about to rush up, the six anemone heads turned around and ran away without warning, making a piercing sound like fingernails scratching on a blackboard while running .

The three-meter sea anemone head that was fighting with the hound and others gave up its attack when it heard the cry, and ran into the tunnel behind the six smaller sea anemone heads.

"What's going on?" The hound fell to the ground, the power armor on his body was torn apart, as long as the monster gave him another claw just now, he would definitely have to confess here today.

"In the depths of the tunnel, something is directing them... Let us come back with our lives." Ke Lan said solemnly, looking at the direction where the monsters disappeared, "Don't let your guard down, they will probably come back."

"If they come back...it doesn't matter whether we let our guard down or not—bah!" The hound spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "It's impossible to fight at all, even with powered armor, the melee ability of these things is better than acid Liquid is terrifying, its strength, speed, and reflexes are all top-notch, and it doesn't feel pain...it's impossible to fight."

"It's just the kind of pervert like brother Asano...ah no, only those kind of masters can deal with these monsters." Layton glanced at the only corpse on the ground and said.

"Doctor, go and see how Akira Asano is doing." The hound pointed to Akira Asano who had fallen into a semi-comatose state, and said to Ivan.

"En." Ivan nodded, walked to the side of Akira Asano, and with the help of Ke Lan, Akira Asano lay down on the ground, and then took out the medical box.

5 minutes later... Ivan put away those instruments, and nodded to Ke Lan's hound: "His condition is very close to what Ke Lan described. His physical damage is not serious, but his brain wave frequency is very low. Only Less than two hertz...these brain waves are usually only seen in people who are in deep sleep or under anesthesia."

"Is he... turning into a vegetable?" Layton asked.

"That's not likely to happen, but it's a conservative estimate...he's in this state for at least eight hours." Ivan said.

"Well...if those monsters haven't launched an attack within eight hours, maybe we've already dug through the blocked tunnel, but is it possible?" Tunnel, shivered involuntarily.

While they were chatting one after another, Ke Lan had already walked to the corpse of the monster beheaded by Akira Asano, and squatted down.

He turned off the power of the high-frequency particle vibration dagger, and now the dagger is just an ordinary sharp weapon. Ke Lan grasped the handle of the dagger and stabbed hard at the corpse——

"Pfft."

The tip of the knife easily pierced the monster's skin, but the purple-red color did not appear. It seems that the defense mechanism of these monsters will only take effect when they are alive.

Ke Lan pulled out the dagger, and viscous blood overflowed from the wound. The blood showed a dark red color that was very close to black, with a strong rotten smell, and there were some coagulated blood clots in it... this It doesn't look like a creature that has just been killed, but a zombie that has been dead for a long time.

Ke Lan turned the corpse over. At this moment, a long black mark on the inside of the corpse's arm attracted his attention...

"This is... text? Is it the characters of Alpha civilization?"

Ke Lan grabbed the monster's arm with both hands, and tried to flatten the skin with the black text printed on it, but when he saw the content of the text clearly, he couldn't help holding his breath.

That is not the text of Alpha Civilization, but a string of cursive English, translated to mean: "My favorite girl, Bertha."

This is a tattoo, a tattoo that can only appear on humans.

"You all come here." Ke Lan waved to the others and said with a heavy face.

"What's the matter, did you find anything?" Ivan was the first to run over, "Need me to conduct an autopsy?"

"Look at this." Ke Lan pointed to the tattoo on the inside of the "monster's" arm.

"...My favorite girl..." Ivan shut his mouth before finishing reading, and stared at Ke Lan for two seconds.

"That's right, these monsters were once human beings." Ke Lan nodded.

"This...all these are human beings?" The hound couldn't believe it, but the English letters on the corpse forced him to face this fact.

"It should be like this. The only thing that is uncertain now is... whether these monsters have become living people or dead people..."

"Is there a difference between the living...the dead...?" Layton asked.

"The difference is too big... The missing miners, even if they are all alive, are only 30 to [-] people... But the hunters who entered the mine four times, and the corpses thrown in the tunnel, that is three digits... And the corpses have all disappeared..." Ke Lan took a deep breath and continued, "If these corpses have all turned into something like this..."

"You mean, there may be hundreds of monsters like this in the depths of the mine?!" The regiment is gone, if there are hundreds of them, I'm afraid the entire base will not be enough to kill them!
"This commission is beyond our capabilities. I declare the mission to be terminated. The only thing to do now is to find a way to get out of here alive." Ke Lan stood up and said.

"Leave, how do you want to leave?" The hound shook his head pessimistically, "The escape route is blocked, and there is only one road in front of us, but if we continue to walk in, isn't that just courting death?"

"Dig out." Ke Lan said.

"Dig? How long will it take to dig?! The blocked tunnel must be at least 20 meters long, and the power armor we wear is combat-type, not engineering-type. Do you think those monsters will give us a few hours to dig? stone?"
