Alien Relic Hunter

"Then it's decided. Me, Ze Luo, Asano Akira, Valentina, Thirty-three and Ivan will form an expedition team of six of us and go to the Gray Mist Forest; Lao Gou, Layton and the rest of the people will go Yagunaktor, meet up with Ye Yan; as for Zofia, you stay at the Silver Building...if necessary, make sure your own safety is the highest priority." Ke Lan glanced at the watch on his wrist, "We We have to take action before the undead crew can react. I can only give you twelve hours of preparation time, is that okay?"

…

…

Twelve hours later.

South 3rd District, "Beretta" Air Force Base.

After watching the plane on which Hound and his companions disappeared from the horizon, Ke Lan turned around and looked at the five people standing behind him.

The door of another high-speed transport aircraft was wide open, and several ground crew members wearing engineering mechas were fixing the Blasphemer mecha to the external pylon of the transport aircraft - the ten-meter-high Blasphemer mecha could not fit at all. Without entering the cabin of this transport aircraft, it can only be mounted on an external pylon.

"You keep a straight face no matter what, relax, it's just a C-level relic." Ke Lan crossed his arms on his chest and said to the five people with a smile.

Of course, he couldn't directly tell the undead crew that he was going to explore the gray mist forest... Although he knew that this matter could not be hidden from the crew for long, but as long as he entered the gray mist forest before the undead crew could react, even if the crew wanted to It was too late to stop them.

On the surface, what Ke Lan and the six of them want to explore is a cave ruins located on the edge of the Great Basin. The grade of this ruins is only C. The valuable relics were swept away by hunters more than ten years ago. , like the Bronze City, is a relic that has been almost forgotten by people. However, according to recent drone reconnaissance reports, there seem to be traces of the activities of the remnants of the heretical sect near this ruins...

According to the analysis of the military and security bureau, this remnant group may have used this ruins as a hiding place - after all, the institutions in the ruins have been completely destroyed by professional hunters. There is no danger. From the two perspectives of sheltering from wind and rain and resisting indigenous creatures, this empty ruins can indeed be regarded as an excellent shelter.

Using his own authority, Ke Lan forged a small amount of "evidence", which vaguely connected the remnants of the heretical sect of the Nova Chamber of Commerce and the remnants of the heretical sect hiding in this C-class ruins - Never Die From the perspective of the crew association, Ke Lan's trip seemed to be to continue investigating the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce case.

But in fact, after arriving at their destination, the six people will cross the entire Great Basin at the fastest speed and enter the gray mist forest.

"Build the plank road openly and visit the warehouse secretly."

Even Aya was kept in the dark about this matter - before Ke Lan set off, she called to ask Ke Lan why she was not allowed to participate in the task of tracking down the remnants of the heretical sect, but Ke Lan sent her directly to Another place where a "clue" was discovered.

Of course, this clue is also false. It is a suspicion array set up by Ke Lan to confuse the members of the Undead Crew Association, and it is far away from the C-class ruins on the edge of the Great Basin.

Ke Lan wanted to create an illusion, pretending that his pursuit was completely misled and turned into the wrong direction.

Pretending to be misled to mislead others... This scene was poorly performed and full of loopholes, but as long as Ke Lan could be bought a day, the scene would be considered a success.

"Check the equipment one last time and then board the plane." Ke Lan said to the five people.

…

…

Leaning on the slightly shaking chair back, he looked through the porthole at the clouds below that kept passing by... In a daze, Ke Lan suddenly had the illusion that he had returned to the first time he set up a transport plane with the Hunting God Hunting Group.

It was precisely because of the crash that they became companions who could depend on each other for life and death... But when the truth about his life experience was revealed bit by bit, Ke Lan felt a strong sense of unreality.

He is a replicator, a special replicator. In order to communicate with the Alpha civilization, the Immortal Crew will embed Alpha human genes into human gene fragments as a "symbiont". None of Ke Lan's memories when he was young belong to He, but implanted it into his brain through some means... Ke Lan did not have too strong resistance to this...

Probably because you have lived alone since you were a child and don’t know who your “real parents” are, so you won’t be as hard to accept it as those who have a happy family and a happy childhood, right? Looking back on those things now, Ke Lan even feels as if a century is so far away - competing with other children for food and toys in public child care centers, secretly watching downloaded learning machines in boring cultural classes He wrote novels in the novel, worked odd jobs in various places while attending hunter qualification examination training classes at his own expense, and then studied and recharged during his breaks...

It turns out that these memories are all fictitious...

Ke Lan lowered his head and looked at his palms... His more than twenty years of life were just a memory loaded into his mind. In fact, he had just emerged from the cultivation cabin a few years ago, right?

Which year did the real memory begin?

Did it start when I graduated from compulsory education, or when I got my relic hunter’s license?

Why did the undead crew "create" themselves, but instead of keeping themselves in captivity, they silently watched themselves step into the profession of relic hunter? Aren't they worried that they will die in a corner of a certain ruins during a certain mission?

In Ke Lan's memory, he encountered at least a dozen fatal crises under the ruins. Could it be that these dozen crises...were all fictitious memories?

Or would the undead crew have another plan - no matter how they tried to commit suicide at that time, they would still have a way to pull themselves back from the brink of death?

Perhaps the monitors installed by the undead crew are lurking among the hunters who entered the ruins with him?

What about the old dog and the others? The plane crashed, falling into the depths of the glacier ruins, getting acquainted with Old Dog and others...could this all be a script arranged by the undead crew?

No...it's not like Lao Gou and the others acted like they were acting. They were companions worthy of his trust, not secret agents of the Undead Crew.

Moreover, if Laogou and the others had a problem, their "intuition" would have already warned Ke Lan... But after being together for so long, Ke Lan had never noticed anything unusual.

Besides, if there were hidden elements among them, then there would be no chance for his plane to take off.

And he later joined the Undead Crew Club, which proved that things had developed beyond the original plans of the crew members.

The "chess pieces"...become "chess players".

Although he, as a chess player, is not qualified to play chess now, he has at least sat face to face with the chess player.

The chessboard was shrouded in a thick layer of gray fog, just like the gray fog forest they were traveling to.

What is the purpose of "making" his own people? This is what Ke Lan wants to find out most.

"To be honest, what we are doing now reminds me of a famous saying in ancient China." Ivan's voice interrupted Ke Lan's thoughts, "It seems to have been said by the Confucian sage Confucius."

"Which sentence?"

"Chao Wendao, it's time to die." Ivan raised his eyebrows, "In order to get the truth, we have put our lives in your hands on this trip."
