Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 91

No wonder the people in that team would star this place... If there are seeds of erosion on this desert island, then this cave is the only "safe zone".

Not only that, if these stalactites are used to process weapons - such as grinding them into warheads, then any person, even a child, as long as he can aim and pull the trigger, he can be at a safe distance. Easily deal with a seed of erosion.

Even if the Seed of Corruption cannot be completely killed, at least it can be beaten to the state of suspended animation before.

It's a pity that Ke Lan doesn't have any tools at hand. Otherwise, as long as he can process dozens of bullets of this kind, he would even dare to take the initiative to go to that erosive seed to go head-to-head.

But what makes Ke Lan a little strange is that these stalactites are quite well preserved, and there is no trace of mining at all... If this kind of thing is really effective against the seeds of erosion, the high-level Ark will never put such a A precious resource abandoned on this deserted island... It doesn't make sense that it hasn't been touched for decades.

Could it be that this team was wiped out in the end and failed to send the news back?
Or is there something else?

Taking off his diving suit, Ke Lan began to walk towards the depths of the cave. These things cannot be concluded by guessing alone. He has too few clues now, about this deserted island, about this mysterious Squad, about what happened here decades ago... Everything is still shrouded in a heavy fog, and all he can see is just the tip of the iceberg that sticks out of the water.

"It would be great if we could find more of the bodies of other people in this squad... It's best to find their captain, who must have a complete mission record on him."

Ke Lan thought so, and lowered his head to avoid a stalactite that was about to become a stone pillar, but when he looked up again, he directly hit a pair of dark eye sockets!
"...Damn," Ke Lan was stunned for two seconds before realizing that it was a skeleton leaning against a rock wall, "I was almost scared to death by your old buddy."

He shone the light of the flashlight on the skeleton - there is no doubt that the deceased and the two mummified corpses on the ground belonged to the same team, but due to environmental reasons, the clothes on his body were about to rot away, vaguely It can also be recognized that this is a very old army training uniform.

Over the decades, even the sturdy nylon fabric has been shriveled. Ke Lan just pulled it gently, and the satchel hanging around the skeleton's waist was torn apart, and the contents fell to pieces. land.

Two signal flares that have been damaged by damp, a rusted multifunctional folding saber, a magnesium rod used to start a fire in the wild, and two condoms that have not been opened.

Ke Lan checked all these things carefully, but it made him feel a little pity that there was no valuable information left on it - except for the name engraved on the side of the folding saber.

"Connelly..."

Ke Lan glanced at the skeleton. This Connelly should be his last name.

Although Ke Lan found nothing on these relics, when Ke Lan focused on Connelly's sternum, his expression changed——

"Hey... shouldn't this be..."

The ribs on Connelly's left chest have obvious fracture marks, but the angle of the fracture is opposite to that of common trauma fractures. Wings flew away... It looked as if a huge foreign object had been forcibly stuffed into his chest, cracking his entire chest...

Ke Lan couldn't help thinking of the huge heart in the second corpse... That heart almost filled the entire chest cavity of the corpse, and inside that heart was the "nucleus" of the Seed of Erosion. .

It seems that this Connelly was also parasitized by the Seed of Erosion. Judging from the damage to the bones, the Seed of Erosion in his body should not have been artificially removed, but it seemed to be directly out of his chest and voluntarily gave up the host. of……

"Why does it feel like the plot in "Alien"..." Ke Lan took a deep breath, but judging from the alien's performance in the movie, the Seed of Erosion is obviously much stronger than this screenwriter's fictional horror creature .

"The Seed of Erosion voluntarily gave up its host. It seems that it is inseparable from the environment of this cave... It must have felt a fatal threat." Ke Lan gestured Connelly's chest cavity with a finger. The core is at least double the size of the second corpse... That is to say, there must be more than one eroded seed that exists on this desert island.

"Could this island be a breeding farm used by the Alpha people to cultivate the seeds of erosion..." Ke Lan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of the hatchery in the abyss, and the sealed in the glacier. Those pieces of meat... This Alpha star seems to be particularly keen on cultivating monsters, but... why do they do this?

Is it really as the stone tablet said, they are trying to create a powerful enough warrior for that "true god"?

The height of the Alpha civilization is already unmatched by humans, so what kind of civilization is the "God" in the eyes of the Alpha people?

A chill suddenly swept up Ke Lan's back... He suddenly thought of the fungus culture experiment he had done when he was in school - for the fungi on the petri dishes, that piece of culture medium is already the whole world.

They will not understand the existence of humans, just as humans cannot understand the existence of higher civilizations.

Humans can destroy their entire world with just a few drops of inactivator in a petri dish.

……

"Fuck... I'm going to think about what these things do..." Ke Lan shook his head vigorously, "It's still important to find a way to escape from this ghost place first."

Ke Lan's plan is very clear. First of all, he has to live. Only by living will he have a chance to wait for rescue, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

Given that there may be multiple erosions on the island, to protect himself, he must rely on these strange stalactites - although he doesn't know exactly where these stalactites are strange.

Secondly, he has to find a way to follow the clues of this team to continue the investigation - since they came to this place decades ago, then if they go backwards from the path they came from, Ke Lan may be able to know the way to leave here. .

Thirdly, judging from the stalactites nailed to the second remains, these people obviously know something about the Seed of Erosion and its restraint method. If they can find the solution to the Seed of Erosion from the clues they left The method of cell invasion, then Ke Lan's original purpose of this operation has been achieved, and they don't have to venture to the bottom of the sea again to find the damn flesh-eating worm.

Fourth - if these people have any leftovers such as transportation that can be used, then for Ke Lan, it is almost like winning the first prize.
