Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 155 The Giant Cocoon
"No hurry, let's take a look first." After speaking, Ke Lan released the drone and flew towards the base slowly.

The periphery of the base was in a mess. The defensive positions composed of sentry towers, bunkers and walls were torn apart like a piece of paper. There were traces of acid corrosion everywhere on the construction fortifications and the ground. The densely packed holes on the screen are like a honeycomb... Randomly cut out a frame, it is enough to make the heart of a patient with dense phobia go into cardiac arrest.

"Without the energy shield, these fortifications are nothing but decorations in front of 'Sea Anemone Head'." The hound commented from the side.

"Well." Ke Lan controlled the drone and continued to fly forward... Until now, they haven't found any monsters...not even any corpses.

Without a corpse, where did the strong smell of blood and corpse come from?

Until the drone flew directly above the central square of the base——

"What... what is this?!" Looking at the things on the screen, even Ivan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but exclaimed.

In the very center of the square, stands a huge cocoon-shaped object nearly 30 meters high. The surface of this thing is covered with a layer of dark pink meat membrane, and the meat membrane is covered with blood vessels that pulsate rhythmically. cyan veins.

The giant cocoon is spindle-shaped as a whole, but there is a crack like a flower bud at the top. With the slight wriggling of the giant cocoon, sticky black pus and blood continuously overflow from the crack and flow along the cocoon. The surface of the giant cocoon slid down... There was even a blood pool with a large area under the giant cocoon.

"That stench of corpses...could it come from this thing?" Although it was only seen in the drone's camera, the hound still felt palpitations for no reason.

"It seems to be alive." Ivan said, "I always feel... this thing seems... as if..."

"It seems to be hatching something, right." Ke Lan added Ivan's unspoken guess, "Do you have a feeling that those disappeared corpses are actually wrapped in this giant cocoon..."

"..." Ivan didn't answer, but nodded silently.

Ke Lan controlled the drone to fly around the giant cocoon, but unfortunately, looking in from the crack at the top of the giant cocoon, he could only see that it was filled with viscous crimson liquid. It is impossible to see clearly what is on it.

But what made Ke Lan even more surprised was that he didn't even find a single "sea anemone head" around this giant cocoon...even in the entire mining base, which was really beyond his expectation .

Could it be that those monsters left after creating this giant cocoon?This is too unreasonable, right?If this giant cocoon is really the "reproductive means" of those monsters, based on the instinct of the creature, it is necessary to leave some guarding power to protect the safety of the giant cocoon.

Or...they were also swallowed by this giant cocoon?Such an outrageous idea suddenly popped up in Ke Lan's head.

"I just don't know if this thing is offensive..." Ke Lan lowered the drone's height and aimed the sight at the crack on the top of the giant cocoon - the drone is equipped with a mini launcher that can be used to Tactical equipment such as shock bombs and smoke bombs can be dropped at a distance, but due to weight restrictions, only two rounds of ammunition can be carried at a time.

Ke Lan set the detonation mode to collision detonation, and then fired two shock bombs towards the giant cocoon at once.

The silver-white cylindrical projectile drew a graceful arc in the air, and fell into the gap accurately, and then, a burst of strong light burst out from it, accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound——

Nothing happened, and the giant cocoon didn't respond in any way to the sudden attack.

"...How about this," Ke Lan thought for a while, and said to the others, "I'll go over and have a look first, you wait outside the base, and if something unexpected happens, you can directly implement Plan B."

The so-called "Plan B" is actually asking for help from a consortium stationed at several other bases, but this plan has an obvious disadvantage, that is, no one can be sure whether other consortiums are willing to lend a helping hand, and if the situation is worse Well, they might be imprisoned and tortured with words and deeds - anyway, thousands of people have died in this incident, and their names are not too many to add to the list of victims...

"What nonsense are you talking about, can't you think about the good?" The hound gave him a blank look and said.

"Everything must be prepared for the worst." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the base step by step.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

As soon as Ke Lan stepped into the gate of the base, the alarm of the Geiger counter sounded in his ears, which indicated that the radiation in the base had exceeded the safety threshold that humans could bear—and before the base was breached, the area The radiation concentration is almost negligible.

"Radiation? Could it be caused by that big guy?"

Holding such doubts, Ke Lan continued to walk forward slowly.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep..."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

As the distance between Ke Lan and the giant cocoon continued to shrink, the alarm sound of the Geiger counter became more and more urgent. When there were only the last 100 meters, the beeps almost formed a series.

Even wearing power armor with the function of protective clothing, Ke Lan's skin can feel that uncomfortable tingling... The radiation concentration in this place has far exceeded the deepest part of the mining area.

"The inside of this thing...is it filled with radioactive substances?" Ke Lan originally thought about building a pile of explosives to blow up the giant cocoon, but now he has completely given up on this idea—— If this thing exploded, it would be almost equivalent to a super dirty bomb. Not to mention the mountain depression where the mining base is located, it is estimated that with this as the center, the area within a radius of several kilometers will become a dead zone.

"The only good news is that the thing doesn't seem to have biological sensing... I've come so close, but there is still no response."

Ke Lan walked around the giant cocoon, and then got a little closer.

He could vaguely hear the sound of "gurgling" inside the giant cocoon, and he couldn't help but see the appearance of large chunks of flesh and blood rolling in the viscous boiling slurry.

"I can't get any closer... The radiation is too strong..." In less than ten seconds, Ke Lan had already started to feel dizzy. The radiation injection pierced into the injection port reserved on the arm of the power armor.

"Come here, this thing is not dangerous at the moment... It's just high radiation, don't get too close, and there should be prepared protective clothing in the outer ruins, let Akira Asano find a set to wear... the ones in this place The radiation has reached a lethal intensity." Ke Lan said into the walkie-talkie.

[PS I encountered a very angry thing today, and I want to tell you about it: My last novel "Rules of Survival in the Wasteland" was stolen on the Himalayan audiobook platform again. Negotiated with him, his attitude was okay at the beginning, I didn’t go into it too much, I just asked him to remove the VIP paid chapters, and only kept the free public chapters... I thought this matter was over like this, As a result, someone told me today that he was dictating an audiobook, and I found out that the person changed the title of my novel, and the author became himself, and copied the content intact, and copied all the contents of more than 1000 chapters. The total number of views is more than 800 million, and he also built a fan group himself, charging readers of the novel three cents for a chapter... He also claimed that it is not easy to update, and he has to support his family or something...

I was wondering, can stealing other people's things count as breadwinners?I’m a person who almost died once. I have no job, no income, and I didn’t even think about stealing or cheating. Openly claiming to be the fruit of your own labor?

Why do people have such thick skins?

I haven’t deleted that person’s WeChat account yet, but I went to look through his friends and found out that there is something even more shameless: he calls a book I’ve finished for many years his new “new book”, and what’s the point of “explosive updates” every day? "Ten chapters" activities, Double Eleven is still very down-to-earth to learn what e-commerce companies do for paid chapter discounts...

Almost made me laugh...

This is no longer a pirated version. The pirated version will not change the name of your novel, and will mark the ID of the original author. Now the author of this book has directly become himself. This is blatant plagiarism!
I see that his Himalayan comments are all praising him, and there are also those who pay for reminders, based on the number of views... I even suspect that the income of this plagiarized book will not even be lower than my original work. Fucking magic.

Calculating the time, when he completed the plagiarism, I happened to be lying on the hospital bed and was tortured to death by chemotherapy drugs. Fortunately, I didn't burp, otherwise he wouldn't be afraid that I would come to the door in the middle of the night?

Here is the information about the plagiarist: Himalayan ID Fart Duoduo her father 321, the name of the work is "Online Games: The Strongman at the End of the World", it is plagiarized from my old book "Rules of Survival in the Wasteland", the chapter name is exactly the same as the novel content, and this person The WeChat ID is PDD0305.

I am not a well-known author. This kind of rights protection probably does not have the time to help me. My own personal strength is very weak. I hope that friends who read this chapter can help me report this book of Himalayas. The person who reported If there are too many, maybe the Himalayas will pay attention to it.As for the paid chapters he sold privately in the WeChat group, then I really have no way to control it.

It hurts, I'm angry, but there's nothing I can do.The world is so fucked up.

Finally, I hope that everyone can support the original version, otherwise the author of the original version will really not be able to persist... Two days ago, I sent out the manuscript fee for the last month, and let everyone know the truth, and get rid of a few old friends who have a good relationship with me in the reader group. In addition to the big rewards from my brother (especially the leader of the old brother Beiyan and the master of the 15th-class bionic man), the alien relic hunter’s subscription income last month was 270.73 yuan... What can this little money do in 2021... It’s almost enough for me to pay for my medicine for a week, but fortunately, medical insurance can reimburse me for blood draws...]
