Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 672 No. 92 Engine Wreck
"The direction of travel, due south, all set off." Sergeant Ken's calm voice came from the earphones.

The convoy suddenly started to move. At this time, no one was chatting in the team channel, only formulaic reports were left every [-] seconds.

The terrain of this tundra is very flat, and there are no traces of indigenous creatures in sight, but everyone in the 776 special team still dare not relax a bit. Collins' AUG assault rifle has been loaded, and the butt is resting on his lap. Above the knee, you can raise your gun and shoot at any time.

The thick shock-absorbing tires and the hard frozen ground continued to make harsh friction sounds, and Collins focused all his attention on detecting the surrounding environment-as scouts, he and Martin were pioneers, and their mission It is to discover and help the rear convoy avoid the native biomes wandering in the wilderness in advance.

The distance between the two reconnaissance vehicles and the rear convoy is about 1000 meters, which is the maximum distance that the communication device carried by the team can guarantee stable communication in the case of strong interference.

Not long after the scout car drove out, Ke Lan discovered a problem.

The instrument panel of this car has obviously been modified-except for a simple mechanical compass, all electronic devices that can be used to locate and record the driving route have been removed, even the odometer on any car. All locked up.

(Note: Although there are no artificial positioning satellites in Alpha Star's low-earth orbit and the GPS positioning system cannot be used, it can still roughly determine its own location based on geomagnetic positioning, base station positioning, etc. Of course, the premise is that the magnetic field is not disturbed or There is a transfer station set up by Ark within the sensing range of the device.)
Obviously, this was done to prevent the soldiers participating in this mission from remembering the specific coordinates of the mission target.

"As for..." Ke Lan muttered in his heart, "The base of the No. 92 engine wreck...is it really so shady?"

He felt as if he was watching a suspense film, the more foreshadowing like this, the more curious he became...

"Super Dream" can choose to skip and fast-forward like playing ordinary videos. If it weren't for the fear of missing details, Ke Lan would have already enabled these two functions.

He has plenty of time, enough to even go through the entire mission process many times.

The team galloped on the permafrost tundra for nearly four days without stopping for a rest. Even eating and defecation problems were solved by soft liquid food and urine bags with straws.

As for the drivers who drive, they are rotated by the soldiers.Collins and Martin would change shifts every eight hours and take a break in the rear SUV.

"It's time, it's time, change people!" Two reconnaissance vehicles drew a large circle on the tundra and returned to the side of the convoy. Two troubled-looking soldiers jumped out of the driver's seat and moved around. Walking towards the convoy with limbs.

An off-road vehicle in the convoy stopped, and Collins and Martin glanced at each other, and they could see the exhaustion in each other's eyes—even though it was an eight-hour shift, this kind of intensity off-road driving had a great impact on people. The consumption of physical energy is also extremely terrifying. It is impossible to rest well in a bumpy car, let alone fully recover from the exhausted physical energy.

At that time, enhanced personnel were still rare in the army. None of the members of the 776 special team had undergone enhanced or modified surgery, and their physical fitness was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

The two jumped out of the car silently and walked towards the reconnaissance car parked not far away.

"I'm so tired, I feel like my waist is about to break, and my buttocks are completely numb." The replaced soldier complained to Collins and Martin while rubbing his buttocks.

"It's all the same." Martin shook his head with a bitter face, "I can't fall asleep in the car at all... Boss doesn't allow us to use refreshment drugs for fatigue tests..."

"Probably because we are afraid that we haven't reached the destination yet... Huh... let's overdraw our physical strength and energy in advance... Huh... But for me, the situation is actually the same now... Don't look for another place Set up camp, everyone will be unable to hold on." The soldier was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

As for the other guy who was replaced, he was so tired that he didn't even want to say anything. He waved his hand at the two of them, and walked towards the off-road vehicle with dull steps.

Collins sat in the warm driver's seat of the reconnaissance car again, took a deep breath, held the steering wheel with both hands, and stepped on the accelerator.

The two reconnaissance vehicles quickly passed the convoy and returned to the forefront of the formation.

But this time, after driving for a long time, Collins discovered something unusual!

On the horizon in the distance, a cone-shaped mountain appeared.

"Reconnaissance Vehicle No. [-], Collins reported that a cone-shaped mountain was found ahead, about [-] to [-] kilometers away." Collins said to the communicator, "Preliminary judgment, it may be a volcanic cone."

"Got it, move on." Sergeant Ken's voice without any emotion sounded through the communicator.

At this moment, Ke Lan suddenly realized that the direction of the convoy was exactly facing the "volcanic cone" on the ground line, and his consciousness was shaken suddenly - the mission destination of the 776 special team, what should be Could it be this "volcanic cone"? !
Collins obviously thought of something with Ke Lan. After a brief silence, he turned on the communicator again and asked, "Boss, isn't that our destination?"

Sergeant Ken didn't answer.

But Ke Lan already had the answer in his heart.

As the distance between the convoy and the volcanic cone gradually shortened, the details of the volcanic cone began to become clearer... Soon, Ke Lan and the soldiers of the 776 special team realized that something was wrong...

This volcanic cone seems a bit too "positive"...

The essence of a volcanic cone is a mountain formed by the accumulation of eruptions ejected from the volcano near the crater. Generally speaking, volcanic cones whose eruptions are mainly lava are basically conical, because the lava is not completely cooled. It is fluid, and it is easy to form a smooth cone-but no matter how smooth the cone is, it is impossible to be a completely right cone.

The volcanic cone in the distance is not like a piled up mountain formed by lava eruption at all, but more like a huge civilization creation.

"Could it be, this is... the remains of the No. 92 engine?!" Ke Lan couldn't be more shocked.

The volcanic cone...the engine...the crater on the top of the mountain, could it be the vent of the propeller?

Such a huge engine...then it drives...what could it be? !
