Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 683 Warehouse
"We wasted too much time for a can." Sergeant Ken said a little irritably, "Put this can away, and let the group of white coats in the research institute have a headache when we get back to the ark."

"But... Boss, I always feel that something is wrong with this place..." Connelly said in a low voice, "Whether it's the monster or the empty can, there's something weird everywhere..."

"What's weird?" Sergeant Ken glanced at him and asked.

"I... I won't be able to say it for a while... But I just feel uncomfortable, and the hairs on my back are standing up... I don't want to go any further without clarifying these things ..." Connelly touched the trigger handle of the machine gun in his arms nervously.

"You feel uncomfortable because you are timid." Sergeant Ken said loudly, "We shouldn't waste too much time on things that have nothing to do with the mission, let's move on!"

……

Under the order of Sergeant Ken, the 776 special team could only continue to move forward. Fortunately, the downward staircase was not too long. They only walked for about 10 minutes before entering a horizontal corridor.

On both sides of the corridor, there were many rooms locked by automatic doors. Only the third automatic door on the left hand side was damaged and stuck in the middle.

The dark space under the door is like the huge mouth of a monster that has not been fully closed. Normal people will instinctively feel a sense of resistance after seeing it.

"I found it!" the sharp-eyed Martin said in a low voice. He walked forward, reached out and groped for a while at the lower edge of the automatic door, and then ran back.

In the palm of his hand, there were some irregular white debris, and some of them were covered with dark brown, blood-stained agglomerates.

"It's the dried dead skin debris." Liao Xing immediately made a judgment, "From the texture point of view, it should come from the monster I just dissected...or its kind. One of them, Accidentally scratched my back on the edge of the automatic door when I entered the room, so that's what got rubbed against it."

"Did those monsters come out of this room?" Martin took a deep breath. He glanced back at the shadow under the automatic door, and couldn't help feeling a little scared in his heart—he always felt that as long as he approached the door again, he would say in the dark Maybe a few pale, skinny, but terrifying hands would be stretched out, dragging him into the darkness.

"Not sure, but they must have entered and exited this room." Liao Xing said.

"Martin, Collins, you two go in and have a look." Sergeant Ken ordered.

"Ah?" Martin suddenly showed bitterness. Although Collins' performance was better, judging from his involuntary clenched grip of the rifle, he was obviously extremely nervous.

"Be careful, there may be humanoid monsters left inside." Liao Xing reminded.

"Boss, can't we send a drone in and have a look?" Martin asked.

"The power of the drone is limited, and we can't charge the battery through solar energy in the ruins, so we can't waste it." Sergeant Ken said.

In this era, although energy crystallization has been discovered by relic hunters, its practical application is still in the theoretical stage, and the technology of small nuclear reactors is not yet mature. Equipment such as drones and mechs have only two kinds of energy that can be used : Electrical energy and chemical fuels.

"Okay, okay..." Martin shook his head helplessly, then took two deep breaths, turned his head and said to Collins, "Collins, I'll go in first, and if anything happens, you quickly pull me out from behind, understand No?"

"Don't worry." Collins patted Martin on the shoulder.

The opening of the automatic door was not that big, only about [-] centimeters, which might not be too narrow for a scrawny humanoid monster, but it was a bit difficult for heavily armed soldiers to pass through.

Martin first unloaded the backpack, then took off the protective armor and tactical equipment on his body, and then lay on the ground, leaning sideways, with one hand propped on the ground, the other hand holding the pistol, and the tactical flashlight in his teeth, bit by bit. Moved in from under the automatic door.

"Damn it... I even took off my bulletproof vest. This military uniform can't stop the claws of those monsters..." Martin cursed in his heart, got through the automatic door, and immediately squatted down from the ground , holding guns in both hands, quickly scanned the interior of the room.

Of course, he didn't miss the ceiling above his head and the blind spots on both sides of the automatic door.

After confirming that there were no living things in the small room, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the outside: "The inside is safe... only a bunch of polymer boxes... and... and a pile of dried shit .”

Soon, Collins also got in, followed by Sergeant Ken, Jino and Liao Xing.

"It's really shit all over the floor..." Sergeant Ken rubbed the soles of his boots on the ground in disgust, "Military doctor, these things should be the excrement of those humanoid monsters, right?"

"Yes." Liao Xing nodded and walked to the boxes.

Most of these boxes have been opened, the lids are scattered on the ground in a mess, and in the farthest corner, there are piles of empty cans that are exactly the same as the one they just picked up.

"These boxes are all used to hold canned food." Liao Xing said, "The cardboard at the bottom of the box still has marks from round cans...but there are very few cans left."

As he spoke, he picked up the few cans and checked them.

Sure enough, the bottoms of these cans were also printed with inscriptions in Arabic numerals.

"Such a large amount of canned food full of the characteristics of the old era...Ken, you don't think you are still exiled from the ark, do you?" Liao Xing looked at Sergeant Ken with a serious expression.

Sergeant Ken looked at a can, silent.

"Ken, everyone trusts you to follow you through life and death. If there is anything hidden in the mission content...I hope you can tell us." Liao Xing said, "As executors, brothers should not be It's been kept in the dark."

"About this mission, I have told you everything I know before I entered this ruin." Sergeant Ken's voice was heavy, "I'm not a fool, I also know that there is a problem with these things...there is a big problem. But we are soldiers, and the orders of soldiers are to obey our bounden duty. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t care about what you shouldn’t, we just need to complete the task.”

"Even if there is a secret that could change everything in this ruin, we have to blow it up?" Liao Xing asked again.

"Perhaps it is because of these secrets that we need to blow it up."
