…

At this point, of this temporary team that originally consisted of seven hunters, only Ke Lan and Leighton were left to continue moving forward.

"This attrition speed is too ridiculous..." Layton clapped his fingers and muttered, "The first pilot to land was to hang up. Not long after leaving the crash site, the poisonous one was killed by the bugs, followed closely by Zhuo.

Ligetu was seriously injured and disabled, Asano's death is unknown, and now the old dog and the doctor don't know if he can survive... Sigh... To be honest, I also explored the A-level ruins once a year ago, although I died a lot that time

There are more than a dozen hunters, but this is the attrition data for one month. On average, there is less than one person per day. In my opinion, even if this ghost place is rated S-level, it is not an exaggeration."

"There are no S-level ruins yet... S-level is the data ceiling set by the official. The most dangerous ruins now are only A-level. Unless we can find a group of lively Alpha aliens here, then maybe there is still a chance.

"Ke Lan said.

"Hey, if they really are, I have to give them a good beating first. Anyway, they will be sent to the laboratory for dissection in the end. It might be more pleasant to die in my hands." Layton said angrily.

Hearing what this big guy said, Ke Lan couldn't help curling his lips: "You can tell by looking at this that you haven't read the relevant research literature."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Although we have never seen living Alpha people and have never found their remains on this planet, based on the scale of the ruins, we can still infer the Alpha people's body shape and some living habits." Ke Lan answered.

Said, "A currently accepted theory is that the average height of Alpha Planet people is about 2.5 to three meters, and they may have four or more arms - of course, they may also be tentacles, which are very powerful. Adult Alpha Planet people are about

It is equivalent to an Earthling who has undergone eight levels of biochemical modification. This refers to pure hand-to-hand combat without equipment. If we include the high-tech equipment of the Alpha aliens, if we can escape alive after hitting them, it will be smoke from our ancestors' graves."

Speaking of ancestral graves, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the Earth, the hometown of mankind. At this time, the Earth is probably about to be swallowed up by the sun that has turned into a red giant, right? Let alone smoke, there is a possibility of prominence...

…

"Level 8 transformer? So powerful?" Layton is also a transformer himself. Naturally, he knows that the difficulty of transformation surgery becomes higher and higher, and the risk becomes greater. The level 7 transformation surgery is only about 20% with the current technical level.

The success rate is high. Once it fails, the person who undergoes the transformation will not die... As for the eighth-level and ninth-level surgeries, those who can succeed are basically the chosen ones...

"This is just a conservative estimate." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered for no reason.

"You feel it too?" Layton asked.

"Well... this passage seems to be getting colder and colder." Ke Lan nodded. The A-087 ruins are located in the northern cold zone of Alpha Star. The average surface temperature is minus 30 degrees. Logically speaking, it is located deep underground.

The internal temperature of the ruins should be higher than this figure, but now Ke Lan still feels a chill running down his spine even though he is wearing a thick protective suit.

"The current ambient temperature is minus 47 degrees Celsius...his grandma's...I feel like the lubricating oil in my joints is about to freeze. I should have added more antifreeze..." Leighton moved a little irritably.

As he held his robotic arm, the parts at the joints kept making harsh noises of "clicking, clicking".

"Wait...wait..." Ke Lan suddenly stopped and lay down on the side of the passage wall.

"What's wrong? If we don't leave, we're really going to be frozen here." Layton turned his head and asked.

"This passage wall... I don't know when it was no longer made of rock. You see, the light from my flashlight can penetrate... This is not rock, it is ice! This passage is carved out of ice!

"Ke Lan whispered, his flashlight was tightly clasped on the wall, and some dim light could be seen spreading inside the wall. However, because the color of the ice cube was too dark, the light from the flashlight was only

It can only penetrate a distance of less than ten centimeters, and it is already blurry.

"No wonder this place is so cold!" A pair of sharp steel claws popped out from Leighton's fingertips, and he scratched the ice wall hard, but only a few white marks were left, and not even the slightest ice shard could be scratched.

Come down.

"This ice is harder than iron!"

"This ice has probably been frozen for tens of thousands of years, and in such a high-pressure environment, the density may be higher than iron... Hey, there seems to be something in the ice!" Ke

Lan grabbed the flashlight and moved on the ice wall. He could vaguely see something frozen inside the ice wall, but most of the flashlight's light was absorbed by the black ice wall, and he could only roughly see something.

Blurred outline.

"Let me do it, this thing of mine is much better than that little flashlight!" Leighton said, raising the mechanical arm. Suddenly, the entire passage was as bright as day, and the dazzling light even made Ke Lan unable to bear it.

He narrowed his eyes.

"What's this?"

"A non-lethal weapon that can blind and stun the enemy. I got inspiration from the flash shield used by the Ark Riot Control Force, and I also improved it. In addition to strong flash and continuous flash, it can also continuously create strong light.

, it just consumes a lot of energy." When he mentioned this, Layton suddenly became energetic. When he was serving in the army, he was a weapon master in the army. Now he has changed his career to become a hunter, but he still focuses on

In this regard.

"Can the light beam be concentrated? It must be penetrating enough." Ke Lan glanced at the ice wall. Under the reflection and reflection of the strong light, the originally ink-colored ice became deeper and darker.

It's like a complete piece of obsidian.

"Of course it's no problem." As soon as Layton finished speaking, the spreading enhancement had shrunk into a spot the size of a bowl, but the brightness was countless times stronger. Even with goggles on, Ke Lan couldn't remove it with his naked eyes.

Look directly at that spot of light.

"Okay, point the light here." Ke Lan pointed to a location on the ice wall. It was here just now, and he found the outline of something inside.

As the mechanical arm moves, the light escapes within the ice wall. From Ke Lan's perspective, he can clearly see the thing frozen inside...

"What is it? The mechanical arm here is a bit blocking my view, so I can't see clearly." Layton asked.

"...It's a piece of meat, the kind of meat we just encountered..."

"What?!" When Layton heard this, even the mechanical arm could not be lifted steadily, and the light suddenly shifted to an angle. This time, both people saw it...
