Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 85 Mission Log
With Ke Lan's understanding of this unit, the word "give up" has never been mentioned in the dictionary of the SEALs. The training these soldiers have undergone is enough to make them face hell, even if the enemy is a demon from the abyss, They will also pull the trigger without hesitation.

The ammunition is not exhausted, the food is not exhausted, and he has not even encountered a battle... What is the reason that drives him to give up his desire to survive?

The combination of the instinct to survive and the will to be a soldier can't resist despair... What happened to this non-commissioned officer named Collins?

Ke Lan searched the body again. In addition to some standard field survival supplies, he also found a damaged walkie-talkie, a photo and a paper mission log.

The photo material is a photosensitive plastic photo paper that has long been eliminated. Due to aging, the entire photo has become completely white, and it is impossible to see what was originally taken.

Ke Lan could only put the photo aside and opened the mission log.

Many pages of the log were torn away, and only less than half of its thickness remained. The yellowed pages were full of scribbled lines, and some pages were even penetrated by the tip of the pen due to excessive force. , the leaked ink smeared on the paper, forming a black patch the size of an Old Era coin.

Ke Lan flipped through page by page, and the content of each page was similar. Collins seemed to be just venting... Ke Lan could even imagine the other party holding the pen tightly, gritting his teeth, and looking anxiously on the paper Scribble like...

These lines have neither any regularity nor aesthetics at all. Ke Lan tried to compare them with the coastline, but it didn't match the number at all.

Not code words, not maps, they're nothing, they don't contain any information... at least that seems to be the case for now.

After turning to page No.15, a line of text finally appeared.

"I AM SORRY."

sorry?Why does he say sorry?Who is he saying sorry to?
Although something that Ke Lan could understand finally appeared, such a mindless apology made him feel even more confused.

Presumably, this Sergeant Collins must have some problems with his mental state in the last period of his life, but what is the reason for him to become like this?

Ke Lan could only continue to turn back, but there were several consecutive blank pages after the sentence of sorry... Finally, on the second page of No. 20, some valuable information appeared again.

This is a stick figure, this is a long object that looks like a stick, and at one end of the stick, an eye is drawn...

one eye!
Ke Lan took a deep breath - this is not a stick, but a stone pillar, the one he saw under the sea!That stone pillar with a giant eye carved on the top! !

Those stone pillars are everywhere in the underwater city, and in the Alpha Ruins elsewhere, they have never appeared.

Collins has also seen such a stone pillar, and he, like himself, has also been to that place!
Ke Lan's breathing quickened slightly.

"No, that's not right..." Ke Lan glanced at Collins' body and shook his head vigorously.

The equipment worn by the corpse is all land combat equipment. Without equipment like a diving suit, it is impossible to reach the underwater city. 100 meters is not deep, but it is deadly enough for people without equipment to protect humans... In Collins's time, cyborgs hadn't received official written approval, so they couldn't join the army.

To put it back ten thousand steps, even if this Collins is a one-in-a-million dive master, he doesn't even have a fully enclosed water-proof suit. The poison in the sea water can easily kill him— - A special physique like Liao Zilang's, it's hard to find one in [-] people, what's more, if this Collins can be immune to the toxicity and radiation in seawater like Liao Zilang, his skin surface will not have these radiation diseases. Festering sores.

"He couldn't have been to the city under the sea... At least, he couldn't have come here from the city under the sea..." Even Ke Lan began to become a little incoherent, and his head was a mess. paste.

"Nothing can be explained with common sense...Fuck...even a normal person would have to be forced into a lunatic." He curled his lips helplessly and continued to scroll back.

Blank, blank, scribbled lines, blank, circles full of pages, scribbled lines, blank, or blank... Finally, the task log was turned to the last page, and when Ke Lan clearly saw the last page When he wrote something, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

"LEAVE THE BED"

It wasn't the first time he saw this text. The last time was on the Pioneer, the inside of the shell of the salvaged diving cabin...

Exactly the same thing... is this really a warning from the dead?
Colin was lost in thought.

off the seabed?First of all, he has never reached the seabed. The seabed city is built on the seabed. Strictly speaking, it is not the seabed. As for the abyss hatchery... Although it is very deep, it has definitely not bottomed out. , otherwise, the diving suit on Ke Lan's body cannot withstand the water pressure at the depth of the seabed...

Or, this "BED" does not mean the seabed?
"If it were in Chinese...it would definitely be easier to understand..." Ke Lan tried to recall several meanings of the word "bed" in Chinese: bed, seabed or riverbed, flower bed or nursery, etc... In addition to a noun, the word can also be used as a verb, meaning to sleep, to place, to embed, or to plant.

"Huh? Planting... seeds?"

Ke Lan suddenly recalled that in the exile settlement before, the "Apostle of the Prophet" used the Alpha language to recite a spell-like sentence in the Alpha language before he became the eroded seed - "May I sacrifice my body as a breeding ground, Let the seed of erosion revive and sprout."

hotbed!This bed means this!Ke Lan was shocked, and he reacted at once. The warning to keep him away was the hatchery under the abyss!

There is an out-of-control fusion entrenched there, and the degree of danger is unimaginable. If it is activated, it will be an unimaginable disaster for human beings!

"But...it doesn't seem right..."

Ke Lan bit his lip and rubbed his fingers on the crumpled paper. No matter what angle he looked at, the explanation just now was flawless, but he subconsciously felt that something was wrong... Suppose he It was Collins' words, after seeing the terrifying monsters in the hatchery, would he leave such a warning?

"leave the bed... away from that hatchery?"

No, if it was him, he would have written it differently: "A MONSTER IN THE BED" - a big monster entrenched in the hatchery.

Not to mention who left the warning in the diving cabin, Collins obviously had enough time to write this text, so why didn't he write things more clearly?

Or did Ke Lan misunderstand from the beginning... This sentence is not a warning at all?
