Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 268 The hand under the ice

"Glacier ruins No. A-087? The twin ruins of the 'Bottomless Sinkhole'?" Qin Zhao's eyes flashed a look of shock, "You said you have been here... Are you the one who found the core of the glacier ruins? District's legendary team?"

"So you are my idol? After you go out, can you sign me?" Martin asked a little excitedly.

"...Legendary Team? Idol?" The Hound smiled self-deprecatingly, "If possible, I would rather not have this title than visit this ghostly place again."

"Why? Since you survived from here last time, then this time..."

"Quiet." Ke Lan turned her head and glanced coldly at Qin Zhao and Martin, "Listen clearly, I'll just say this once: don't make any obvious noises, don't use any devices that emit strong light - always pay attention to the overhead, The ice under your feet and on both sides, if there is any movement, stop immediately and use body language to warn your teammates."

"Ice... Is there something in the ice layer? Is it a monster?" Martin stammered, "Senior...you, don't scare me."

"Shut up." The hound whispered, "I am too lazy to scare you, if you want to save your life, just do as we say."

The hound said so, but in fact, even he himself had no idea—although the memory of everyone except Ke Lan had been modified by some unknown force, but Ke Lan's process of that battle was I told each of them that if Akira Asano did not take action, everyone in the team would be killed by that centipede-like monster...

But now Asano Akira is still sleeping, they can only rely on themselves.

Holding the flashlight, Ke Lan walked carefully to the ice wall on one side, put the flashlight on the ice, and then gently turned the adjustment knob to amplify the brightness little by little...

Inside the ice wall... nothing.

There are no strange and strange pieces of meat, and there is no giant eyeball that can move freely in the ice layer... There is nothing in the ice wall, just like when they turned back from the [-]-meter giant gate...

"It should not be the same ice road." Ke Lan said to the hound in a very low voice, "There should be many such ice roads, and this is just one of them."

"Then where do you think this road will lead? The [-]-meter giant gate?"

"I don't know, but the A-087 ruins have sunk deep into the ground. Even if we can find the [-]-meter giant gate, it will be difficult to get out of the ruins." Ke Lan said, "And what we found at that time may only be a shallow The 'false core' of the glaciers...Fortunately, we didn't investigate that place further, otherwise, it is estimated that the remains of the glacier would have collapsed long ago."

"But no matter what, at least we came out of those nine stone chambers... Now there is only one road in front of us, and we have to go on." The hound pulled out the pistol and checked the contents of the magazine one last time. bullet.

Because they didn't intend to go directly into the ruins at the beginning, there was basically no possibility of a battle, so Ke Lan and the others left most of their weapons on the "Greek", and there is only one weapon that can be taken out now. Just a pistol for self-defense.

Among the crowd, Layton has the strongest firepower. Although he didn't even carry a pistol, his mechanical prosthetic body itself has a large number of weapons installed, plus the small shield Generator, his whole body is equivalent to a humanoid tank, and the vanguard position has naturally been transferred from Ke Lan to Layton.

"Let's go." Ke Lan took a deep breath and said.

Layton nodded silently. He put the shield-shaped mechanical arm in front of him, and put his other hand on the rocket launcher on his shoulder, and walked step by step toward the depths of the ice passage.

Following behind him were holding a pistol, a flashlight and a hound. Two rookie hunters were in the middle of the queue, followed by the Hercules Zhuoligetu carrying three body bags, and Ke Lan took the initiative. post-break responsibilities.

Among the few people, Martin was the most nervous. He wanted to talk to Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao ignored him at all. He could only keep talking in a voice that only he could hear, His eyes were fixed on the heels of the hound in front of him all the time, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look around.

On the other hand, Qin Zhao, although her face was also pale, she had been carefully observing the surrounding ice walls, and would raise her head from time to time to glance at the top wall of the passage directly above.

"The quality gap between these two people is really too big..." Ke Lan muttered in his heart... But what he didn't expect was that the first person who noticed the abnormality was Martin who had been staring at the floor!
Just when the team was more than 100 meters away from the exit of the underwater channel, Martin stopped suddenly. He pointed to the ground under the hound's feet, with a look of horror on his face. Just when he was about to yell, Qin Zhao Shi stretched out his hand and covered his mouth.

And when Qin Zhao looked towards the place Martin knew, his whole body trembled violently and froze in place.

"What's the situation?" The hound walking in front sensed that something was wrong, he turned his head, first glanced at the terrified two people, and then lowered his head.

"Fuck... what the hell is this?" The hound's performance was better than the two rookies, but only he knew... When he saw something under the ice, his shirt, which had not been completely dry, froze for a moment. The oozing cold sweat was soaked and sticky to his back.

"Stop moving forward." Ke Lan raised his hand, motioning for everyone to stop, and then walked forward quickly.

It was a hand with a bone structure similar to that of a human, but it was definitely not a human hand.

Pale skin is tight on the surface of the palm, no blood vessels can be seen under the skin, and it seems that there are not many muscles. The structure of the phalanges, metacarpal bones and wrist bones is clearly visible—just like humans, each finger has three bendable segments except the thumb The joints of the fingers also have nails made of cuticles... However, this palm is too slender. Although its width is about the same as that of a normal human palm, the length from the wrist to the fingertips is quite large. It was nearly thirty centimeters long, and the elongated phalanx and metacarpal showed a strange and morbid tension. He only stared at the palm for a few seconds, and he had already imagined it piercing his chest. A picture that grabs the heart.

This is not like a hand, but more like a weapon specially made for killing people.

This palm protrudes from the depths of the ice layer, and the tip of its fingertips is less than one centimeter from the ice surface... From the angle of Ke Lan and the others, at most you can only see a section of the forearm below the wrist , As for the real body of the palm owner, it is completely hidden in the darkness.

"This posture...is like..." Ke Lan murmured.

"Like what?"

"It looks like a person who is about to drown, stretching out his hand, trying to touch the surface of the water." Ke Lan said.
