Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 794 The Second Erosion

While 33 was frantically thinking about the next battle strategy, a big hole suddenly exploded on one side of the corridor, and the human figure wrapped in gray mist was shot on the ground—it was struggling. I wanted to get up, but my body couldn't lift even a centimeter.

It was as if an invisible hand was pressing on it.

Before the smoke and dust from the explosion began to dissipate, an equally invisible barrier had already discharged the smoke and dust and debris all over the floor, and a familiar figure walked into the corridor from the hole opened by the explosion.

"Huh... Ke Lan, you came really fast..." 33 couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems that the place you were teleported to should be quite close to here."

"Teleport?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, and looked at 33 with some puzzlement.

"Did you not be teleported to other places? Anyway, I was teleported to this place the moment I stepped into the gray fog." 33 also looked puzzled, "This should be another battleship 'Genoa' inside of the number."

"I know this is the Genoa, but you shouldn't have been teleported." Ke Lan quickly reacted, and told 33 about the memory tampering and "sleepwalking".

"I came to this battleship by myself for feelings..." 33 rubbed his face vigorously, "So, you lost me, you were the first one to find me?"

"Well, if you don't count Mo Jue." Ke Lan nodded, "I have no idea where the others went. I decided to check it out on another crashed warship, and I happened to meet you fighting this thing."

"What about the others? Where are you going to find them?"

"It's not practical for me to go find them... If they regain their consciousness, they should choose to move towards the core area..." Ke Lan said.

"This place is still more than ten kilometers away from the core area... But you are right. If you go to them now, you will not only find no one, but you may also get lost. It is better for everyone to share the same place. Set it as the ultimate goal, and then it depends on each individual's ability."

"One more thing, at first I thought that the time of 'sleepwalking' was the same as Mo Jue's two hours, but it has been six hours since we were separated, and you should have just 'woke up', right? "

"Well, that's right." 33 nodded, "Except for that deleted memory... I woke up and was in that smoking room, walked to the corridor and met this guy, it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes."

"From this point of view, everyone's 'sleepwalking' duration should not be fixed, so it is even more uncertain how far they will go in the 'sleepwalking' state... Tsk." Ke Lan clicked his tongue, the expression between his brows Can't help but feel a little irritable.

There are too many weird phenomena happening in this forest, even the S-level ruins can't compare to this place.

"By the way, where is Mo Jueren?" 33 asked.

"Here." Ke Lan pulled the safety rope in his hand, and pulled a single-person rescue capsule into the corridor.

"What's up with her?"

"Contaminated by 'forbidden knowledge'... This kind of thing can only be transmitted through cognition. Some mutations have occurred in her body. In order to prevent the mutation from aggravating or infecting other people, I think it is better to find a container to contain her. It looks better."

"Tsk... cognition is pollution, and this guy said that just now." 33 pointed to the human figure who was pinned down by the space force and couldn't move.

"Is this guy... used to be a crew member of the 'Genoa'?"

"Well, and it can understand Chinese, and it can also speak, and I had a brief exchange with it, but we started fighting after a disagreement... If you didn't come in suddenly, I'm afraid I'd have to think about it at this time." How did you escape?"

After hearing 33 say that he had communicated with this doll, Ke Lan couldn't help becoming nervous. He stared at 33 for a long time, and he was slightly relieved when he found that the other person's body showed no signs of mutation.

"What's the matter with you?" 33 couldn't help asking after Ke Lan looked a little nervous.

"Seeing that you are not as unlucky as Mo Jue..." Ke Lan said, "You should know what 'cognition is pollution' means?"

"Could it be that my body will mutate just by listening to this guy say a few words? This... is this too exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all, it's just luck that you didn't mutate." Ke Lan patted 33 on the shoulder, "This thing varies from person to person, some people have weak resistance, and may become a monster after hearing a few words—— "

Speaking of Ke Lan's eyes, he subconsciously glanced at the single rescue capsule next to him.

"Huh... so it seems that my resistance is relatively strong?"

"You might as well say that you are lucky." Ke Lan sighed, "But anyway, to be on the safe side, you should stop communicating with this guy and leave the rest to me."

"By the way, this guy said a few words to me just before the fight, and I wrote them down." 33 said, repeating to Ke Lan what the doll said to him.

"Tsk..."

After listening to 33's retelling, Ke Lan pinched her jaw and fell into deep thought.

The situation of the "Genoa" high-speed support ship is actually very different from the situation of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate - judging from the combat video, the main reason for the crash of the "Shaojiang Kai" is that He Luni and others detonated it inside the ship The small tactical nuclear bomb caused irreparable damage to the ship's hull, causing the entire battleship to lose its power... and the "Genoa" directly fell to the ground because of the helmsman's misoperation.

In more rigorous terms, the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate can actually be regarded as an "forced landing", while the "Genoa" is a real "comet hitting the earth", and it had a head-on encounter with the ground.

Ke Lan learned from the central control computer AI of the "Shaojiang Kai" that the "Shaojiang Kai" did not hit the ground directly, and the helmsman could really live up to the title of "God Helmsman". When the nuclear bomb exploded and lost power, he still managed to control the overall balance of the ship, allowing the entire "Shaojiang Kai" frigate to slide for nearly four kilometers in the canopy, relying on the obstacles of the canopy to maximize the The inertia of falling is eased.

If it weren't for the extreme operation of this god helmsman, there would never be so many people on the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate who would have survived the crash of the battleship.

The "Genoa" is completely different... From the crew who was stabbed by the air supply pipe to the core, it can be known that after the battleship "landed", there might not be many living people on the entire battleship.

Among other things, just the terrifying G force when it fell and the shock wave that spread throughout the entire battleship in an instant when it hit the ground were enough to kill most of the people on board.

Even if he does not die, he will fall into a coma due to brain congestion... If the life support devices in the ship cannot be repaired in time, coma is actually no different from death.

Therefore, even if there are survivors on the "Genoa", there will not be many survivors, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be able to conduct in-depth exploration of the foggy forest like Heluni and the others.

Moreover, the figure in front of him, which was covered in gray mist, was obviously dead when the battleship crashed... It couldn't have had the chance to go to the forest to accept "corrosion"... What exactly made it "resurrect" ", and obtained those "forbidden knowledge"?

Or, it is precisely because of the "forbidden knowledge" that it will be "resurrected"?
This question is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg. It is impossible to draw an accurate conclusion by relying on pure logical reasoning.

"How do you say it? You should be able to understand what this guy said, right?" 33 waited for a long time and saw that Ke Lan didn't speak, so he simply asked.

Ke Lan nodded silently.

"Then you said—" 33 paused in the middle of his words, "Wait a minute, don't you tell me that you are worried that I will mutate too? Then what...'cognition is pollution'?"

"Hmm. There are too many secrets involved, and all of them can be classified into the category of 'forbidden knowledge'. Don't think that you are fine now. If I tell you those things, maybe you will become it in an instant. It looks like this." Ke Lan pointed to the human form pressed on the ground by the space force and said.

"Tsk... well, I understand. But why are you fine? Are you the legendary 'chosen one'? The protagonist in movies and novels?" 33 complained in a joking tone.

"I'm an 'object' created by the Undead Crew." Ke Lan showed a somewhat helpless wry smile, "Although I always thought I was a human being, the fact is right in front of me, and I have to admit that I am indeed with You are not the same."

"The old dog said that as long as you think you are a human, even if you become a rotten meat, you are still a human, don't think too much." 33 said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to dig into the horns of this kind of issue. But I can tell you one thing, I have a high probability that the undead crew will create an 'experiment' specifically to deal with this kind of incident, so for this kind of 'pollution' ' and 'corrosion' I have a resistance far beyond ordinary people."

"Understood." 33 nodded, "Then what do you do next? Interrogate this guy? You don't have to keep looking at me, I know, I won't peek or eavesdrop, I'll just wait outside. Just come out and find me after your interrogation is over."

After 33 finished speaking, he walked out of the big hole that Ke Lan blew open, and dragged out the emergency capsule containing Mo Jue along the way.

"Next, it's time to get down to business." Ke Lan said to himself, and walked slowly to the side of the figure.

This guy should also be considered a "corrosion", right?People from the Undead Crew Club said that what happened after the "super-eclipse" is different, which means that the "corrosion" also has different forms, so it is completely different from Heruni in appearance and ability. It makes sense.

"Zero, can you get rid of the gray mist covering this guy? I'm curious as to what it really looks like."

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the gray fog on the human figure was peeled off, revealing its body that had been hidden under the "fog armor".

This is a lean, mummy-like human body, with dry skin tightly attached to the body, without any hair or any proliferative tissue. The only difference between it and a human mummy is two points: First, it is " Second, where its skin was damaged, what was exposed was not deep red flesh or any other subcutaneous tissue, but a pitch-black jelly-like substance like asphalt.

Judging from the division of these jelly-like substances, all the muscles in this "corrosion" body should have been replaced with this thing, and the function of this thing should be the same as that of human muscles.

Ke Lan took out a dagger and gently poked the black jelly-like substance, and found that this substance was extremely strong. With Ke Lan's ninth-level strengthening of human strength, nearly [-]% of the strength was used to make the tip of the dagger A small part was pierced.

The strength of this thing has already exceeded the "Type I high-strength synthetic rubber" developed by the research institute after 20 years.

The latter is a buffer material used between armor alloy interlayers, but this material itself has a toughness comparable to that of alloys. It can be said that it has the highest physical strength among the "rubber" synthetic materials that can be mass-produced by human civilization. that's it.

"The carcasses formed by Hruni are very weak, and this carcass should be classified as a 'combat type'." Ke Lan analyzed one by one in his heart, "As for the gray mist covering the body surface, there should be two layers. The defensive function is only one of them, and the most important function is probably to cover up its current appearance, so that 33 cannot see its true face... 33 also said just now that this guy was not hostile at first, and he has been Do not engage in 'forbidden knowledge' at WARNING 33."

And the true appearance of this wreck is also part of the "forbidden knowledge".

"You can understand me, right." Ke Lan pulled out the dagger, patted the opponent's shoulder with the blade, and then slightly relaxed the space force that suppressed it.

The eclipse turned its head immediately, and stared at Ke Lan with the pair of eyeballs that were so cloudy that the whites of the eyes, corneas and pupils could not be distinguished... It stared at Ke Lan for a full ten seconds before opening the mouth with some difficulty: " This...this is impossible...you are polluted...far above me...why...why can you still maintain...this appearance?!"

Its tone is full of doubts and shock... and, a trace of panic.
