Looking at these remains, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the 776 Special Forces Team that disappeared forty-eight years ago... The years between the two were extremely close, and they all appeared inside the Alpha ruins that humans had never set foot...

More than 40 years ago, what happened when the Ark landed on Alpha Star?

What is the purpose of the 776 Special Forces Team and these people at present?

Even Lieutenant General Macino said frankly that he couldn't understand the details, so who could know about them...

Wait a minute!

Ke Lan suddenly shuddered in her head, and the five big words "Immortal Crew Club" appeared instantly...

According to Macino, the Immortal Crew Association has existed for hundreds of years, which means that before the Ark landed on Alpha, they had already controlled the highest authority on the Ark... As the holder of the highest authority

, they must know the missions performed by the 776 Special Forces Team and the current owners of these remains.

However, forty years ago, neither the undersea city nor the glacier remains had been discovered by humans. The former was submerged under tens of billions of tons of sea water, while the latter was covered by snow-capped glaciers...

At that time, most of the forces on the ark were devoted to the battle to clear out the indigenous creatures near the landing site. The exploration of the ruins of Alpha civilization was completely incomparable to the present, and it could not even be found, so it was even more

Don't mention sending people into the ruins.

"If I can meet the Immortal Crew next time, maybe..." Ke Lan thought about it and instantly gave up this idea - since the mission record of the 776 Special Forces Team has been deleted, it means that the Immortal Crew will not want to let it go

If others know their existence, if they ask rashly, there is probably a great risk that they will be silenced directly...

At least one of the truths in what Maginot said to him: Never proactively provoke people from the Immortal Crew Club... These people can easily abandon the entire East Nine District module, let alone one of them.

The insignificant little hunter is now.

Perhaps, there is only one way to figure out these secrets, which is, as the "Hermaphrodites" said, when he becomes a member of the "Immortal Crew Club", these secrets will naturally be

Will open it up on its own...

Ke Lan believes that that guy is definitely not just talking...but what kind of identity do he want to join the Immortal Crew Club?

As a living CPU, abandon the body, just keep the brain, and then insert hundreds of electrodes and various catheters into the cerebral cortex?

Judging from the current technological level, such a "brain in the tank" can indeed be preserved for hundreds of years... It can be said that it is "immortal", but just thinking about this look is enough to make Ke Lan shudder.

It's...

Could it be that the cost of this group of "Immortal Crews" is that the body is all this kind of thing? Judging from the fact that they can remotely manipulate Victoria's Cyborg prosthesis through cables, maybe... it's true...

Just as Ke Lan was thinking about it, the previous voice sounded in his mind again, instantly pulling him back to reality—

"Prepare to enable the handover."

"The test subject with serial number 153 has been activated."

"The behavioral pattern is corrected to the third set of preset plans."

"The first phase of the trial begins, countdown...5..."

The pink flesh python appeared behind the statue. It walked around the waist of the statue and slowly slid onto the knee of the statue's right leg. Then, with a "click", it fell to the ground.

"……Four……"

Ke Lan took a few steps back, stared at the flesh python in front of him, and slowly pulled out the pistol.

"……three……"

The meat python began to deform, and it once again changed back to the state of pink meat paste, and then wrapped a skull on the ground.

Countless differentiated tentacles drilled into the pores of large and small sizes on the skull, filling, squeezing, and crushing each other... The overwhelmed bones made a crisp "crack" sound, and the fine cracks instantly covered the bone surface.

...But the skull did not burst open, and the meat paste was like adhesive... It crushed the head into pieces, but it firmly glued the pieces together.

Compared with the previous "harmless" appearance, its body is full of suffocating oppression, and the powerful tentacles show its aggressiveness at a glance... Behind Ke Lan's back

Sweat, he smelled a smell called "danger", which was like the fishy smell emitted by the huge sea monster in the bottomless abyss...

It's frightening, but there's nowhere to escape.

"……two……"

The tentacles extended and began to pick up the bones scattered on the ground, and then spliced ​​them one by one...

"……one……"

Five seconds passed, and a strange human body had appeared in front of Ke Lan. It moved its limbs and walked towards Ke Lan step by step.

It has a human head, but it does not have human facial features. Its face is flat, like a layer of rubber covering the facial bone. The eye sockets and nose are three empty black holes, no lips, and two rows of white

And the neat teeth were so naked, like a mask of a skinned ghost on Halloween.

"This is what is called...the trial?" Ke Lan took a deep breath and raised his gun.

He first aimed at the other party's head, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly thought about it and moved the sight to his knees.

Although this thing has a human body shape, it is not a human after all, and the head is naturally not a vital one. Instead of shooting the head, it is better to break joints to limit its movements more effectively.

"Bang!"

The deafening gunshots of the large-caliber hunting pistol echoed in the hall. The 12.7mm armor-piercing projectile directly shattered the humanoid monster's right leg and knee. The humanoid monster who had lost its support immediately fell to the ground.

But the next moment, the tentacles shot out quickly. They grabbed the bone fragments that were still splashing in the air, without missing a single one... In a blink of an eye, the right knee of this thing had recovered as before.

"Is this thing...can't be killed with bullets?"

Although Ke Lan thought so, he still pulled the trigger repeatedly and poured out the remaining bullets in the magazine.

The human-shaped monster's body was broken through several large holes that were transparent to the front and back, and the kinetic energy attached to the warhead made it retreat continuously. Finally, the shot that shattered the neck bone even overturned it to the ground...

...But when it stood up again, all the trauma on its body had recovered as before.

The mercenary was telling the truth, and the bullet was useless toward things.

As for the human skeleton, it is just a skeleton.

Even if it is crushed into powder, it can restore every bone to its original state... It is like crushing the polymer material and throwing it into a material recycling machine, and then printing it out with a 3D printer...

No, it is much faster than any printer model on the market... before the destruction is implemented, repair has already begun.

"Physical means cannot kill it."

Ke Lan thought so, and he took another step back, but a light curtain rose behind him, blocking his retreat like an invisible wall of air.

This is a closed venue made up of dozens of hexagonal floor tiles. This is a gladiator, and he and the human-shaped monster he faces are the gladiators in this gladiator.

The other party is still four floor tiles away from him...

This is a death fight, but the other party is an immortal creature...

The human-shaped monster's right hand suddenly moved back, and countless tentacles as thick as hair swept towards the rear. They rolled up the fragments of bones, then crushed them into smaller pieces, and then spliced ​​them together.

It became a sharp sheet - by the time these tentacles returned to its body, it had already added a bone blade with a strange shape in its hand.

"Is this the meaning of fighting with hands and blades?" Ke Lan seemed to be mocking, and then squeezed out a strange smile as if helpless, "I didn't expect that the Alpha civilization, which completely crushed humans, was the trial content.

It's as primitive as the cold weapon age of the old era."

But Ke Lan also understood that this fighting method was not only primitive... but also cruel. In the era of hot weapons, hand-to-hand combat rarely occurred in wars... but any army capable of conducting hand-to-hand combat can definitely be considered

The above are the elite among the elite.

"It's a pity... I wouldn't be in a hurry to return Asano Akira's knife if I had known it..." Ke Lan sighed, and at the same time pulled out the dagger and a piece of finely polished stone cone from the undersea cave.

With his left hand holding the stone cone, his fist was placed in front of his chest, his right hand holding the dagger, and his right hand was facing forward, Ke Lan put on a standard close-fitting fighting posture.

The human-shaped monster's knees and ankles began to bend, and streamlined muscle lines suddenly appeared on various parts of the body. These muscles began to contract and accumulate strength - starting from the spine and waist to exert force first, then the thighs, calves and to the toes

Its soles of feet pushed hard on the ground. With the help of this powerful reaction force, it accelerated suddenly and rushed to Ke Lan in less than a breath!

It held the bone blade in both hands, stabbed out diagonally with a rapid force, and headed straight for Ke Lan's rib side--

However, at the moment it started, Ke Lan had already used the ability of time to stop to see its charge direction and attack angle, and calculated the dodge route - Ke Lan just took the right step to the left,

The piercing pierced at the angle slid out against his coat, and a nearly half meter-long crack was cut on the tough fabric.

Ke Lan took this opportunity to swing his sharp blades down at the same time, cutting two deep bone-visible incisions on the outside of the opponent's right arm!

"laugh--"

With a harsh sound, the wound cut by the stone cone instantly turned black, almost exactly the same as the changes that occurred when the erosion seeds came into contact with the stalagmites. The wound cut by another dagger,

But there is no trace.

Taking advantage of the rush of the two sides when they were close to each other, Ke Lan took a step and once again distanced himself from the other party.

And in this brief confrontation, he discovered two crucial things.

1. A stone cone that is effective against erosion can also be effective against the guy. Although it will not show fear, it undoubtedly can cause substantial damage to it and the wound cannot be recovered immediately.

2. Although the body of a human-shaped monster has a motor ability that is completely inconsistent with the common sense of biological knowledge, when fighting with itself, it will imitate the principles of human muscle movement and pull the bones of the whole body through the contraction and relaxation of the "muscles"... In this way,

, it can only use fighting skills that humans can use, and Ke Lan doesn't have to worry about being suddenly attacked by dozens of tentacles that pop up from somewhere while fighting the sword.

This should be the limitation set by the "trial procedure". From a certain perspective, Alpha civilization is still very moral.

Without giving Ke Lan too much breathing time, the humanoid monster launched another attack, but Ke Lan still used this plug-in ability to see through the trick, adding a charred wound to its back waist.

.

Although this thing looks almost unsolvable, as long as you can obtain a restraining weapon like the stone cone, it is only a matter of time to solve it... In addition to the perverted recovery ability, the human-shaped monster's own combat ability is not super super
To be continued...
