Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 98 The First Level
"However, since it is an inspection channel, there should be an exit, right?"

There was a thick metal wall behind the spillway. Not to mention the passage opening on the wall, there were no gaps at all. Ke Lan tapped the pistol grip lightly twice, judging from the sound that came back. , This metal wall has to be more than one meter thick, and it is completely solid.

It seems that this "No. [-] Reservoir" should be the end of this maintenance channel, so there is only one other way to go.

However, Ke Lan was not in a hurry to grope in, and finally escaped the danger. He just took this opportunity to organize his equipment, so as not to be in a hurry when something unexpected happens.

A lot of the equipment hanging on him was washed away by the rushing water, but fortunately, the backpack and waist bag were still firmly fixed to the equipment belt.

In addition to his own self-defense pistol, he also got a lot of things from the 776 special team, the biggest of which were two "madman" pump-action shotguns, and Ke Lan also brought these two Two-thirds of the gun barrel of the "madman" has been sawed off. In this way, although the range becomes closer, the spread of the projectile will be greatly increased, and it is almost inevitable within ten meters.

In several encounters with the Seed of Erosion, Ke Lan has long realized that conventional firearms cannot effectively kill it. In an action game that Ke Lan once played, the character controlled by the player uses the short gun of the deputy to smash the monster into a rigid state, and then quickly approaches, using the sword of the main hand to finish the target.

To Ke Lan, that stalagmite was equivalent to a sword-like weapon with a final judgment in the game.

The 776 special team is obviously aware of this. From the recordings in the black box, it can be known that they used the large-caliber heavy machine guns equipped by the fearless warriors to limit the "nearly invincible" erosion. In the camp of the cave, Ke Lan also found a lot of stone cones polished with stalactite, which must be the "killing move" specially used to deal with the seeds of erosion.

Ke Lan loaded the two shotguns with ammunition and inserted them horizontally into the holster on his chest. In this position, he only needed to raise his hand and turn sideways to complete a series of actions such as drawing the gun, aiming, and opening the safety shot. more than half a second.

Then, he took out four C4 plastic explosives the size of compressed biscuits, attached double-sided tape on one side, and installed a timing detonator on the other side-like bullets, C4 explosives also have the same effect on the Seed of Erosion. It was very small, but in a pinch, Ke Lan could tear off the double-sided tape on one side, stick the explosives on the wall of the cave, and directly collapse the cave to form a temporary barrier.

No matter how powerful the Seed of Erosion is, facing the tunnels blocked by gravel, it still needs time to clear these stones.

In the pocket on his side, Ke Lan stuffed several more projectiles, incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, shock bombs, etc... Most of these projectiles have no direct lethality, but in the ruins, their role is more important. Far bigger than a grenade that can only explode.

After checking that the protective suit on his body was not damaged, Ke Lan started to move along the tunnel... But this time he thought of a way. He was clinging to the wall on the left side, holding the flashlight in his right hand, and pinching it in his left hand. A piece of chalk used for marking, while walking, use chalk to draw a line on the wall, so that if there is a change in the passage when turning back, it will be clear at a glance.

This cave seems to be formed naturally, but it has been completely transformed by the Alpha people. Ke Lan even suspects that it may have adopted a modular design like Noah's Ark. The position can be moved at will...and only then can explain why the road to the camp suddenly disappeared.

"Wait..."

Thinking of this, Ke Lan suddenly shuddered, and goosebumps appeared on his back: "Since this cave can have such a design, wouldn't it be under the glacier... that stone room is also like this. ?"

Exactly the same stone room... There are actually two?

At the beginning, Ke Lan and the others encountered monsters and fought in the first stone room. After they left, the position of the stone room changed. The second stone room moved to its original position. The second stone room!
No wonder there were neither monster corpses nor traces of battles in that stone room!
With the capabilities of Alpha Civilization, this design is completely a piece of cake.

"Hi... Although this can explain Shishi's problem, why are other people's memories modified?" Ke Lan thought hard, although he knew that there were some "special" things in his head. It happened after he touched the stele, and when they were at the giant gate, they hadn't even seen the sarcophagus with the stele.

"There are still a lot of doubts... Sigh, I'm still thinking about how to get out of here first..."

As he walked, Ke Lan found that the condition of the maintenance channel was getting worse and worse... There were obvious signs of damage on both sides of the channel, and there were many irregular depressions on the metal plates used to reinforce the channel. It was like being smashed by many hammers of different sizes. In addition, many load-bearing columns were bent and broken... There was even a small-scale landslide in one section. Fortunately, there was still a line of gaps, which forced Ke Lan to squeezed through it.

"There seems to have been... an earthquake here? Hmm... Or is the mechanical system used to move the modules malfunctioning?"

When the sixth piece of chalk was about to run out, Ke Lan finally saw a huge valved airtight door appearing on one side of the cave wall, next to the airtight door there were several large characters written in alpha characters: " first level".
