Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 671 Frozen Tundra
Martin was still talking about the suicide note over there. He was different from Collins. He had a complete family and a beautiful sister... It's just that this guy was a little like Collins. Can't save money.

The so-called suicide note is nothing more than leaving a thought for the family.

Ke Lan from Collins' point of view couldn't help sighing. As a person after 50 years, he naturally knew that everyone on this plane except the two pilots would not be able to go back...but in their hearts, they must Is it still a fluke?
This scout named Martin was the first person to discover the "core" of the Seed of Corrosion on the Nameless Island, and he was also the first person to be parasitized by the Seed of Corrosion and turned into a monster... Ke Lan felt that maybe his It's better that the family never know his true ending.

If it is considered missing, there is always a glimmer of hope left in my heart.

Ke Lan has been paying attention to the scene outside the porthole - with the high-rise buildings of the Ark in the distance as a reference, the transport aircraft formation should be flying in the southwest direction... This is basically consistent with the recording of Sergeant Ken in the black box: this mission The target location is in two completely different directions from Zhonghai.

Although Alpha Star is round, Ke Lan thinks that they can't run more than half a circle around Alpha Star, right?
Because the content of the mission cannot be known until the destination, the soldiers of the 776 special team can only chat about the latest battle situation-relying on small talk to relieve stress is also a very practical means.

Collins chatted with Martin one after another, but Ke Lan noticed that he would be distracted from time to time, and often Martin had already talked about the third topic, but he was still responding to the content of the first topic.

"This is one of the side effects after the empathy chip in Collins' brain turned on the recording function. It is specifically manifested as lethargy, absent-mindedness, mild memory confusion, and loss of five senses... It only takes a few hours to get used to it and it will return to normal." Core The mechanical female voice of the main brain rang in Ke Lan's ear.

But the topics that can be talked about are limited. After everyone chatted for a while, the cabin returned to silence again—compared with those battlefields that have nothing to do with them, the mission that they will perform next is still more interesting.

"By the way, boss, is it true that we can't disclose any news?" Connelly asked unwillingly, "At least... At least let us make preparations in advance, right?"

"Have you brushed your gun?" Sergeant Ken asked in a deep voice.

"Wiped off." Connelly nodded.

"How many bullets are there?"

"Two boxes of [-]-round ammunition chains, and Joseph brought two boxes for me, and four pistol magazines." Connelly was a little puzzled, but he answered honestly.

"Have you tied your shoelaces?"

"Of course...by the way, boss, why are you asking these questions?" Connelly asked in confusion.

"This is what you need to prepare." Sergeant Ken said seriously, "Just treat it as a normal combat mission."

"Normal combat missions don't carry hydrogen bombs..." Martin whispered to Collins.

……

Six hours later, the Deer-class transport plane finally began to lower its altitude.

"We are about to arrive at the destination of this flight..." Second Lieutenant Walcott said to everyone in the cabin, "According to the mission requirements, I can only send you here, and you need to walk the rest of the way by yourself." It's over—good luck to everyone."

Four Deer-class transport planes hovered about three meters above the ground, and several armored off-road vehicles were put down first, followed by the soldiers of the 776 Special Squad who were heavily armed.

Four small tactical-level hydrogen bombs had already been loaded onto the prototype engineering mecha, and two fearless fighters were standing beside the mecha every step of the way.

Here is a permafrost tundra covered with thin frost. Although it is noon, the air temperature is still less than five degrees Celsius, and the breath exhaled by the soldiers quickly condenses into patches of white mist.

The latitude of this place will not be too low - this is Ke Lan's first judgment.

The transport plane was flying towards the southwest of the Ark, and the landing point of the Ark was on the equator, that is to say, their current location was in the southern hemisphere of Star Alpha.

According to the departure time recorded in the file, it should be June [-]th, [-] of the new era. For the southern hemisphere, it is just in winter.

Based on this information, Ke Lan roughly concluded that the current location is between 45 degrees and [-] degrees south latitude.

Although according to the changes in the terrain, the locations that can be inferred from these data will fluctuate greatly, but the approximate range is not wrong.

"45 degrees to [-] degrees south latitude... Are there any more famous relics in this area?" Ke Lan tried hard to search for relevant information in his mind, trying to peek out any clues...

In this area, of course, there are ruins... not only there, but also many.

There are more than a dozen relics that Ke Lan has checked the detailed information, explored or planned to explore. As for the relics that he has an impression of and can be called by number and name, they have directly broken through three digits—— But in these ruins, Ke Lan couldn't find anything that could be related to the "engine wreckage".

"Also... Now that the 776 special team has completed that mission, then this 'No. 92 engine wreck site' should have been destroyed by a hydrogen bomb, and the remaining traces on the surface must have been erased... As a person living in New Era 950 In my age, it is normal to not be able to find any clues related to it..."

After trying to understand this joint, Ke Lan immediately gave up doing useless work and focused on Collins' perspective—no matter what this "No. 92 Engine Wreck Site" is, anyway, the 776 special team will see it sooner or later .

At that time, all problems will naturally be solved.

The soldiers boarded their respective vehicles according to the pre-divided tactical groups. As for the engineering mecha carrying the tactical hydrogen bomb, it was carried by a heavy trailer—because the mecha technology at that time was still Immature, so the actual battery life of this engineering mech is only a short two hours, and the movement speed is not as fast as that of a conventional wheeled vehicle...it cannot be used directly for traveling.

Collins and Martin did not take an armored off-road vehicle—they were two scouts in the team, and their positions under the marching formation were at the forefront of the two wings of the convoy. The vehicles equipped with them were also the most flexible and fastest individual field reconnaissance car.

There is an aerospace rocket propeller behind the buttocks of this car, which can reach half the speed of sound at the fastest on flat ground-that is, a speed of 612 kilometers per hour.

At this time, Collins' side effects caused by the empathy chip had almost disappeared. He checked the equipment on his body and the condition of the reconnaissance vehicle for the last time, and then started the engine.
