Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 86 The Second Remains

Ke Lan only felt that a lot of specious clues were entangled in his mind, like a ball of wool with no thread. He wanted to analyze it, but he couldn't find a place to start.

Every clue seems to point to the city at the bottom of the sea, but the current information about that city is basically zero... As for the hatchery that Ke Lan entered by mistake, it was covered by many fogs.

What happened to the advance agents of the Security Bureau, what happened to the soldiers of the exploration force decades ago, and what happened to them when they were in a coma... As long as these three things can be understood, many problems can be easily solved, but The problem is... the dead can't speak, and he is not much different from the dead when he is unconscious.

Stuffing Collins' mission log and the blank photo into his pocket, Ke Lan took the bottle of anti-radiation pills that had expired for a long time and continued along the coastline. The best way is to find a place that is high enough. However, Ke Lan's field of vision is full of desolate Gobi deserts, and there is not even anything that can be used as a marker.

The rays of light from the stars fell through the layers of clouds, forming a faint shadow under Ke Lan's body - Ke Lan's watch was also broken, but at least more than a month had passed since he woke up. Hours, but the angle of the shadow has never changed, trying to rely on the shadow to determine the direction is completely unworkable in this weird place.

"Why does it seem to be noon all the time... There is no possibility of extreme daylight in this place, right?" Ke Lan looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

The compass didn't work, the positioning device didn't work, and there weren't any plants in the place - none of the conventional methods of direction identification could make it.

"The coast... the Gobi Desert... the vertical distance is at least [-] kilometers, and the horizontal distance is unknown, but it will only be greater than [-] kilometers..." Ke Lan tried his best to recall the topographic map of Alpha star he had seen, but In his impression, it seems that there is no such a large Gobi Desert in the coastal area of ​​Zhonghai...

First of all, the north shore can be excluded. About one-third of the northernmost part of the Central China Sea is a permafrost area. Thousands of kilometers of glaciers have been extended to the land. .

The possibility of the south bank is also not very high. It is the largest swamp on the entire planet Alpha, and there are a lot of dangerous native creatures living in it. The progress of human exploration in this swamp area is less than 5.00%.

As for the west bank and east bank, although the environment is not as extreme as the north and south, it is also a rolling hilly area. If such a large area of ​​wasteland is embedded in the middle, it will be very conspicuous on the map, but Ke Lan has seen it. There is no such "embedded wasteland" on any of the maps.

And... Judging from the distance between the Pioneer anchor and the coast, Ke Lan has no chance to reach any coast by relying on the current in just a few hours, not even the nearest west coast.

Ke Lan reckoned that in all likelihood, he had drifted to a deserted island.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the second human remains appeared in Ke Lan's field of vision... It's just that compared with Sergeant Collins, the appearance of this remains is a little more terrifying - the limbs of this remains have been disassembled When he fell down, a half-meter-long stalagmite pierced through his chest, nailing his torso to the ground.

The top of the stalagmite was covered with an old-style tactical helmet. Ke Lan was no stranger to this scene. Many soldiers who died outside and whose bodies could not be cremated or transported back to the ark were usually buried on the spot. The simple tombstone is like this - a wooden board or a stone pillar, if you don't have it, you can put a gun on the ground instead, then put the helmet of the deceased on it, and engrave the name of the deceased and the date of death on the side of the helmet. , and information such as the troop they belong to.

But the body of the exposed corpse in front of him could not be buried at all. Instead, the tombstone nailed the body to the ground. This kind of behavior seems to be done by the enemy of the deceased.
