Koran walked to the front of the rock wall and casually found a hole and drilled into it.
Although there are more than a dozen holes in this rock wall, according to the information from the reconnaissance robot, these holes are all connected together, and it doesn’t matter which hole you enter from.
For fear of disturbing the enemy reconnaissance robot to enter the cave 50 meters later, it withdrew … No one knows what is in the depths of the cave.
Even the walker driver who "watches the door" outside doesn’t know-except for a few shallow caves around the ravine where people live, those caves leading to the depths are connected with a huge maze, and even heretics are not allowed to enter.
Not far forward, Kelan saw at a glance that this cave was definitely not an exile settlement, and it was not chiseled by humans-judging from the traces of caves, I’m afraid these caves have been for quite a long time, so how could they be chiseled by humans?
The deeper you go, the less traces left by human activities, and the lighter the degree of weathering and erosion of caves. The corners and corners are accurate to millimeters, and the channel loops can only be achieved with the computer assistance of the advanced engineering equipment of Ark.
"This place … is it an undiscovered Alpha relic?"
Chapter five hundred and seventy-two Caves and rock wells
Whether these caves are qualified as a "relic" or not, it is certain that they were not carved by humans … so it is not Alpha, so we can know from it.
Unfortunately, these cave walls didn’t leave words or symbols, and Koran couldn’t judge their way.
A few dozen meters at the outermost end of the cave is covered with these simple sheds, and there are a lot of plastic sheets and bandages wrapped outside, while there are piles of dirty and shabby bedding and some equally shabby clothes inside.
There are a few rusty rifles against the wall, and a box of them is from the manual workshop at first glance. The tolerance is so large that there is a problem of ammunition in the gun machine-but compared with what can barely be called "magazines" on the side, these bombs can be regarded as "well-made"
Those magazines are simply made up of two pieces of rolled rotten iron sheets, and the surface is wrapped with several circles of dirty tape. Even the so-called "disposable" junk goods sold on the black market are much better than these things.
So far, everything Kelan has seen is quite different from that in an exile settlement in the wilderness.
If there is any difference, it is probably that the planning of these caves is too neat, and even the sheds that looked messy at first seem to be in good order-most exile settlements in the wilderness have no layout and structure, which looks like a tumor growing randomly from a positive perspective, and all the sheds here are built against the rock wall, giving people a very neat feeling.
Kelan went down a dozen meters again, and an extinguished bonfire appeared in front of his eyes.
"It’s really not afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning when there is no smoke exhaust device in this place." Corran muttered and bent down to rummage through a few charred debris in the bonfire. A warm feeling was immediately handed to him through the armor. He immediately dialed a few pieces of bottom ash, and the coal with black and red light was immediately exposed.
He is not surprised that heretics can get coal. The Alpha star wilderness swamp occupies about 9% of the area. In these swamps, a large number of coal mines are buried in shallow peat beds. People don’t need heavy machinery to dig. A person with a shovel and a pickaxe can dig up dozens of kilograms of coal mines in one day.
It is precisely because of these abundant coal mines that the original ark has almost disappeared and fossil fuel energy equipment has become popular again.
But what makes Kelan feel a little wary is that these still burn coal blocks. Not long ago, people sat around this campfire to keep warm-whether it was the Chinese reconnaissance plane or the Marines who surrounded the area, they didn’t find anyone leaving this place. Where will these disappeared people go?
Koran couldn’t help looking deeper into the cave.
Did these people go in with the prophet?
Kelan picked up a can next to the bonfire. This is a canned lunch meat produced by the Ark Field Force Military Food Factory. The production date is 945. It has been four years since the two-year shelf life … But the canned military food should be well sealed, even if it is overdue for decades, it can still be eaten, and the taste may get worse.
Half of this can has been dug up, and the can is stained with a circle of white lard solidified by low temperature, but the meat inside is still soft to a certain extent, which is in fresh contrast with another can next to it that has not been beaten and is harder than stone.
These people should have been eating before … If they stop in the middle of eating, there must be something important.
I’m afraid there are few things that are more important to wilderness exiles than filling their stomachs.
Even the arrival of the "prophet", the leader of the heretical sect, will not leave the canned food so casually beside the bonfire.
Kelan feels more and more that something is wrong with this place … Not only is this place wrong, but even Dr. Renee’s defection seems to be full of conspiracy.
First of all, judging from the traces of the New Dawn surveillance video crash site, Dr. Renee’s defection was purely a temporary idea-she never expected that the incident would develop to that extent, but when the metal can exploded in the crowd, it all slipped into an uncontrollable abyss.
Dr Renee’s hurry to return to the Ark is to grab the first-hand research materials of Professor Smith-although Koran knows that those materials have already been destroyed by the "blazing angel", even if there are some clues left, they have already fallen into the hands of the undead crew. It is impossible for Dr Renee to pick up the clues.
But what Dr. Renee doesn’t know about these things is her passion for research and her crazy energy. It’s reasonable to do such a thing, and it’s not like acting at all
The possibility that Dr. Renee colluded with heretical sects in advance is extremely low, especially after finding out the ghost Park Sang-woo, the undead crew will certainly carefully investigate the members of the research team sent to Yagunakotor to avoid similar incidents as much as possible.
There may be hidden heresies among ordinary members, but if there is a problem with the first person in charge like her, it will have been discovered long ago. Once there is any change, it will have been made by people who are secretly staring at her or simply killed, and there will be no chance to snatch the transport plane and escape.
And the prophet … or the prophet body double’s appearance time is really coincidental. The crash site of some transport planes is not far from the No.1 fleet, and it was only over an hour before and after the Marines arrived at the crash site. But in this more than an hour, the prophet not only found Dr. Renee one step ahead of the Marines, but also took her away without leaving any trace.
