Alien Relic Hunter

The square is paved with flat hexagonal metal floor tiles, and the gaps between each floor tile are glowing with a faint white fluorescence. From Ke Lan's position, it looks like a giant honeycomb made of some kind of luminous material. The grid is filled with a sense of unreality.

In Ke Lan's subconscious, there was always a voice telling him: This is the real core area of ​​the A-087 "glacier ruins", and the location of the sarcophagus they discovered before is only located on the upper level of the ruins. It’s just a doubtful grave.”

Fortunately, Ke Lan and the others did not conduct a further exploration of that place at that time, otherwise, it might be their turn to be buried by the collapsed ruins.

The "bottomless sinkhole" that appeared after the glacier collapsed is actually part of the original glacier ruins - this is not a twin ruins at all, but a super-large giant ruins!

Ke Lan took a step forward and stepped on a hexagonal metal floor tile. Suddenly, the circle of white fluorescence around the floor tile rose up. After circling Ke Lan's body, it then Falling back to the ground again.

A voice speaking Alfrench sounded in his mind: "Identity verification completed, welcome back."

"Come back?" Ke Lan was slightly stunned, but before he could think further, all the white fluorescent lights on the ground were extinguished. The next second, directly above the square, a dazzling star suddenly lit up in the sky. A white light ball, this luminous ball projects light into every corner of the square, reflecting the sky and the earth like daylight.

Only then did Ke Lan see clearly that in the center of the square, there was a huge statue more than ten meters high, made of something like gold but not gold, and something like stone but not stone. This statue was very similar to a human being - it had a human-like torso and limbs. There are even lifelike muscle lines and body joints. There is even an organ between the legs that seems to be a promotion device, but it only has no neck and head.

"This guy... why does the more he looks at it, the more he looks like the Xingtian in ancient mythology..." Ke Lan muttered quietly, and when he moved his eyes away from the "Xingtian Statue", he suddenly discovered that there was a slight trace on the statue's feet. There were actually more than a dozen human remains scattered around!

Ke Lan immediately ran towards the feet of the statue.

He was absolutely unmistakable. They were human skeletons. Although these bones had been severely damaged and almost none of them were intact, as a person who had memorized introductory textbooks on modern medicine, Ke Lan can still tell the names of these bones and their corresponding parts on the human body at a glance...

Ke Lan counted the number of skulls, and there were seventeen in total. In other words, at least seventeen people died here.

Are they the mercenaries who came to get the cans?

That guy wasn't telling the truth? In fact, there were more than thirty people in their team, and most of them were lost here?

Ke Lan picked up a broken radius bone. The owner of this bone had obviously been dead for a long time... If it was really those mercenaries, the body should not have completely decomposed at this time.

Generally speaking, even if the flesh and blood of a corpse has been eaten clean by some kind of scavenger, it will take several years for microorganisms to completely decompose the organic matter in the bones, and the piece in Ke Lan's hand The radius bone was as white as marble, and the broken section was full of holes. There was obviously no organic matter in it.

Even some of the bones have a sub-fossil-like texture.

But Ke Lan couldn't rule out that the special conditions in the ruins caused this to happen - those red flesh worms on Leviathan can eat people without even leaving bones in the blink of an eye. So if there is someone It doesn't seem unusual to grow something that can absorb all the organic matter in a corpse in just a few days.

Ke Lan even suspected that these corpses were "eaten" by the pink flesh...

It's just...why doesn't the pink flesh attack me? Moreover, why did I hear the voice of "Welcome back" after entering this square?

I have never been to this place...

Is it because of that stone tablet? He "absorbed" the contents of that stone tablet, so it was equivalent to obtaining the key to this ruins - could it be possible that he accidentally became the owner of this ruins?

Although this guess sounds outrageous, it seems that this is the only way to explain it...

"This...is really...a bit too fantasy..."

Ke Lan rubbed his forehead speechlessly. He simply ignored these things and bent down to search among the bones.

As long as the relics of these deceased people can be found, the identities of these deceased people can be easily determined.

All the clothes and personal belongings on these remains were gone. Ke Lan only found a rusty pistol. In the trigger ring of the pistol, there was a small piece of the middle phalanx of the index finger.

"Colt M1911?" Ke Lan recognized the model of this pistol at once. This was a famous single-action semi-automatic pistol in the old era. Even today, more than a thousand years later, there are still many Imitation versions are circulating in the arms market.

"I didn't expect that there are fans of retro firearms among this group of mercenaries..." Ke Lan said to himself, but for some reason, this Colt M1911 always felt weird in his hand.

"No...the grip feels much thicker than the genuine M1911...and the muzzle is too small, right? This is definitely not a 0.45-caliber version."

Thinking of this, Ke Lan subconsciously pulled out the magazine of the pistol. What he didn't expect was that the reason why the grip of this gun was so thick was because it used a double-row side-by-side magazine, and the magazine The bullet remaining inside is also a type of bullet that Ke Lan has only seen in the information...

"Six-millimeter round-nose general-purpose pistol bullet" - This is a pistol bullet that was developed in New Era 755. At that time, the Ark was still on an interstellar journey. In order to save precious metal materials, this mini-type pistol The bomb was developed.

Because of its extremely weak lethality and the same caliber as toy gun bullets, it was nicknamed "BB bullet".

But in the ninth year after Ark landed on Alpha Planet, that is, New Era 909, this bullet was abandoned and discontinued. All remaining ammunition was recycled, and firearms using this bullet were not transformed into other calibers. , that is, dismantled and thrown into the furnace...

The reason is simple: the power of the six-millimeter "BB" bullet is so weak that it is difficult to penetrate even soft body armor made of Kevlar, let alone the carbon fiber light armor that is now standard in the army. When dealing with the indigenous creatures on Planet Alpha, a gun using these bullets is really no different from a toy gun.

This kind of bullet was originally created for security and anti-riot purposes, but after better alternatives became available, they withdrew from the stage of history and can only be seen in some weapons museums and the homes of gun collectors...

And those mercenaries are even less likely to use this kind of gun as a weapon - selling it to collectors can earn enough credits to buy several of the latest assault rifles.

Ke Lan was suddenly shocked - these people were not the mercenaries at all! And the time they came here was New Era 909 at the latest!

They were at least forty years earlier than the first explorers who discovered the remains of the A-087 glacier!
