Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 675 Monsters in the Ruins
"Isn't this casualty rate too exaggerated?" Martin was stunned for a moment, "It's already comparable to the war zones where the battles were fiercest... This is just a C-level ruin..."

For Ke Lan, who is 50 years later, this data is actually not an exaggeration - in the [-]nd year of the new era, it took only two years for humans to land on Alpha Planet, and many technologies are still at the level of the old Earth era. The alien technology obtained and successfully digested in the ruins is almost zero. The two alien technologies that have completely changed human history, such as Nino alloy and energy crystallization, are still undergoing technical research in the research institute... The ruins of that era For hunters, the equipment is at best at the level of the armed scientific expedition team of the Earth Age. As for the quality of personnel, it is even more uneven, and it is not even comparable to the professional level of the old era scientific expedition team.

In that era when there was no body augmentation and transformation surgery, no equipment blessed by alien technology, the extreme lack of understanding of various relics and Alpha civilization, and the establishment of various intelligence system training mechanisms, the death of the relic hunter The rate can definitely be regarded as "outstanding" among the various occupations of Ark.

Just like the Europeans who sailed to the American continent in the [-]th century of the old era, more than [-]% of the people who chose to become relic hunters in that era were forced by life and had nowhere to go.

Like Samuel, he became a relic hunter just to repay the usury.

Today, although the relic hunter is still a high-risk profession with a death rate among the top three, it is much better than it was 50 years ago.

At least for relics of grade C or below, the death rate can basically be controlled below 5.00%.

"Stop chatting and pay attention." Sergeant Ken reminded him aloud.

The soldiers of the 776 special team quickly passed through the steel structure suspension bridge, and came to a gap like a ray of sky. The width of this gap was less than two meters, and the soldiers wearing the fearless warrior armor could barely pass Passed, but the engineering mech carrying the tactical hydrogen warhead could only be stuck outside.

The two hydrogen bombs were carefully unloaded from the engineering armor, and each of the two dreadnoughts carried one on their backs, and the team continued to move forward.

The length of this gap is about more than 40 meters, and it just crosses two layers of steel structures that are nested in each other. Judging from the seams and cable inspection ports reserved on the two walls of the gap, this gap should be specially used for maintenance. Access reserved for repair work.

"Look...here, and here, there are traces of welding." Martin shouted in a voice that could be suppressed as if he had discovered a new world, "and here, the riveted structure...even screws and nuts! This This ruin is really the same as Samuel, not in the style of Alpha people at all!"

"Samuel, are welding, riveting, and screwing rare in the ruins of the Alpha civilization?" Connelly asked.

"Well, it's rare." Samuel nodded, "Many buildings of the Alpha civilization are made of integrated molding technology, and it is difficult to find traces of processing on the surface...Of course, in terms of their technological level, This is not too difficult, only those relics that may be relatively old, there will be buildings and mechanical structures similar to our human civilization."

"In other words, the Alpha civilization once had a stage where the level of technology was similar to that of our own, and this ruin is likely to be left over from that period?" Connelly asked.

"It should be, but I can't guarantee it..." Samuel replied.

"This is a good thing." Kino, who had been silent all the way, said, "As long as the architectural structure and style of this ruin are closer to our human civilization, the easier it is for us to find its control center... and the more It's easy to restart it."

"It's been bad news along the way, but I finally heard good news." Martin sighed.

"Don't make any noise." At this moment, Sergeant Ken suddenly pressed the shoulders of Gino and Connelly, and said in a low voice, "I seem to hear voices above our heads!"

The soldiers of the 776 special team immediately raised their guns and looked straight up.

There are countless steel structure beams on it. These beams are interlaced and weaved with each other, which reminds people of a landmark building called "Bird's Nest" in the capital of China in the old era.

Soon after the group stopped talking, they also heard the sound that Sergeant Ken described.

"Da da da……"

The sound is small, but there it is.

Moreover, there is more than one place.

"It seems...something is walking on those beams..." Martin said in a low voice on the communication channel.

"From our angle, we can't see the scene above the beam." Connelly shook his head, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Sergeant Ken didn't answer directly, he just stared at the direction of the sound, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Do you want to activate the drone?" Jino asked, "We have four reconnaissance drones, we can put one out and fly to the beam to have a look..."

"Don't startle the snake." Sergeant Ken raised his hand, "Since the thing that made the sound didn't take action, we will pretend that we didn't hear the sound. There is an old saying in China, which is 'response to all changes with the same'..."

"Then let's... just leave it alone?" Connelly pointed the muzzle of the gun at the top with a look of astonishment, "What if, if the thing above suddenly jumped down and attacked us, what should we do?"

"Then fire...but before that, don't actively disturb them," Sergeant Ken said. "Everyone, move quickly through this chasm."

Under Sergeant Ken's order, dozens of soldiers walked through the crack as lightly as possible while keeping an eye on the situation above their heads, while Sergeant Ken who stayed at the end pulled out a few thin threads, Several booby traps were set up at the end of the crack.

The lowest of these booby traps is less than five centimeters from the ground, and the highest tripwire is nearly two meters away. No matter what size the objects on the beam are, as long as they jump into this crack, they will definitely trigger These booby traps.

But just when Sergeant Ken finished laying out the last booby trap, Martin's trembling voice came from the team's communication channel: "Boss, boss... hurry up, there is a situation!"

Sergeant Ken's heart tightened, he quickly got up and ran forward.

Behind the crack is a round hall with a diameter of about 776 meters. At this time, the soldiers of the [-] special team are clinging to the wall near the crack. On the other side of the hall, a pale and hairless figure The monster was shrouded in the beam of the searchlight, lying on the ground with its head in its arms.
