Chapter 60 Cargo hold No.9

"May I have a look?" Kelan immediately asked
"Of course, but I hope you don’t expect too much …"
"What?"
"The submersible still keeps the boat because it’s too heavy to keep the plane still, but they have removed all the devices and linings in the submersible, leaving an iron shell," Caroline replied for Zofija.
"… even if it’s an iron shell, I want to see it."
"Since you insist so much, let Chief Caroline take you there." Zofija handed the key card to Caroline. "I have to deal with the aftermath of the war just now, so I won’t be there for the time being."
……
Cargo hold No.9 is located at the bottom of the Pioneer icebreaker, and the front and back are sealed. There is a lift freight elevator that can be reached, but some words for Ke Lan are that even this freight elevator has been stopped, and they can climb up the stairwell step by step …
"The security bureau did it. They not only dismantled the system, but also sealed the whole cargo hold No.9. This key card is still the captain’s. She secretly hid the backup card," Caroline said.
She hasn’t taken off her power armor until now. This stairwell is designed to be spacious, let alone power armor. Even a small mecha can easily pass through it.
"Just an iron shell?" Kelan couldn’t help but vomit a sentence in his heart. This group of people in the security bureau is also too cautious, right?
"That’s more than that … There are many robots from the Safety Bureau collecting rock samples from the seabed in the No.9 cargo hold, but I really don’t know what’s heavy and takes up space for those things. I really wish they would send a transport ship to take all these rubbish away at once." Caroline inserted the card into the cargo hold door slot, and three red lights turned green one by one, and the heavy door slowly rose in a harsh metal friction-fortunately, the group of people from the Safety Bureau were not crazy enough to weld the whole cargo hold door to death.
"Not to say that there is a diving cabin? What about those rocks …? " Kelan has some doubts. Just now, in the captain’s cabin, Zofija has never been to these rocks. It seems to those knowledgeable people that these rubbish in Caroline’s mouth are precious environmental standards!
"Oh, those rocks are not from the seabed in this sea area. They should have nothing to do with the ruins of the underwater city … Of course, if you are interested in these things, just take them. Anyway, there are many pieces that the safety bureau people will not find." Caroline said as she took the lead in entering the cargo hold.
There are almost two basketball courts in the cargo hold. There is a strong rust and oil smell in the air, mixed with a peculiar fishy smell of Alpha Star seawater.
"Have the seabed rock samples around Haidicheng been transported away by the security bureau?"
"They didn’t take it away." Caroline shrugged her shoulders. "But I didn’t get that thing at all. This relic is amazing. If the robot is close, there will be all kinds of failures, such as sensor failure, engine flameout, etc. It’s still light. Just give you a signal interruption and cable disconnection. Even if you want to recycle it, you can’t do it … for the living … Alas, no one can return to the water alive."
"This is not something," Kelan explained. "There will be abnormal magnetic fields around and around many Alpha relics, which will have a great impact on precision equipment, otherwise few adult hunters will have their jobs robbed by robots."
"ha? Then there is still 20%? " Caroline asked with interest.
"Some relic robots can’t deal with them. They are dead things after all, even if someone manipulates them behind them. Another aspect is that it is a problem … Many times, human life is much cheaper than those top robots." Kelan replied.
"That’s right. Otherwise, the sailors and boatmen of our ship can be replaced by robots, which will save me from yelling all day." Caroline nodded in agreement.
Chatting and chatting, the four of them have reached the center of the cargo hold. On one side is the spherical diving cabin that was seen in the Koran video and almost completely deformed. On the other side is the black rock piled as deep as a hill.
"Be careful" when Asano Zhao suddenly stepped in front of Kelan.
"What’s the matter?" Koran frowned slightly, but out of confidence in Asano, he also pulled out a ribbed pistol and insured it.
"There’s something moving in that pile of rocks …" Asano Akira has put the sword in his hand out of the sheath for three inches.
"How is that possible? That pile of rocks has been screened several times! " Caroline shook her head again and again. "This … are you mistaken because you are too nervous?"
"I heard it," Asano Zhao replied.
"That … listen to wrong?" Caroline smiled a little stiff, and she suddenly found that the three men had entered the fighting state just because of such a sentence. Another hunter with Chinese appearance had already pinched the impact Grenade in his hand.
"Don’t be impulsive … don’t use weapons here. If the sealing partition of the drainage tank is damaged, the whole Pioneer will be in big trouble," Caroline dissuaded.
"Ms. Caroline … you’d better wear your helmet," Curran said to Caroline without looking back, because he noticed that Asano’s blade had been drawn to five inches, which was the improved Juhe chop.
"There is nothing there!" Caroline’s tone was a little angry. "My power armor has a biological scanning device. Reagan can’t scan that pile of rocks for signs of life!"
"If you can’t scan it, it doesn’t mean you can’t." Kelan pulled the sleeve chamber.
"But those stones have been looked through by the security bureau one by one. If there were any words in the East Z, they would have been discovered long ago!" Caroline shouted.
"What if they were negligent?" Ke Lan’s first thought was the carnivorous worm. When he saw the priestess at first sight, he couldn’t see the abnormal parasitism of her body. The carnivorous worm would be hard to be found by outsiders if it hadn’t devoured the host’s flesh and blood. Similarly, if some small things were embedded in a crack in a rock …
"Come out!" Asano Zhao’s voice did not fall, but he rushed at once. At the same time, the blade was drawn and an arc crescent moon formed by knife light appeared in front of him.
"Hey!" Jinshi Jiaoming echoed in the cargo hold, and a gray shadow almost the same color as the rock collided with Asano Akira’s blade, and then quickly shrank back and hid behind the stone pile.
"That … what is that? ！” Caroline looked unbelievable.
"I didn’t see it too fast" Kelan shook his head.
"It’s like … it’s like a person," Liao Lang said with some difficulty. "But … but it seems to have a bust …"
Chapter sixty-one Black skeleton
"Are you sure?" Kelan kept staring at the pile of rocks and asked in a low voice
"… he didn’t read it wrong …" Caroline swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some strength. "The power armored camera captured the image of that thing … it was a human skeleton but had a bust."
"skeleton? ！” Koran quickly searched for clues in his memory … but he couldn’t find a close result …
A skeleton. How does that move?
He couldn’t help but think of the body controlled by that parasite in the A-7 ruins, but the problem is that even in that case, the body can walk on its own and must rely on the muscles that haven’t rotted to contract and relax constantly. It is impossible for a skeleton to move without muscles, fascia and tendon sheaths.
The kind of skeleton that can run around alive is strange in the magical world and the supernatural. If it wants to appear in the real world, there is a possibility to support the skeleton movement, which is a mechanical system that depends on external energy, just like the exoskeleton powered by human beings.
But this possibility was directly denied by Kelan. Even if the security bureau is not at ease with these rock markers, they can leave a few agents to guard it, so it is not necessary to secretly hide such a thing in the rock pile.
"That shouldn’t be a human skeleton … what you see may be its exoskeleton," Kelan concluded.
"I’ve never seen such an aboriginal creature!" Caroline has a hint of fear in her tone, and even the female first mate who dares to fight to the death with the deep-sea giant eel will hardly have some fear when facing the unknown.
"No, we haven’t seen that thing of yours." Koran turned to look at Caroline and saw that she had picked the Gaussian rifle hanging from the back of the power armor-
"Chief mate, are you sure … the weapon in your hand won’t break through the sealing partition of the drainage tank?"
"Ah … I’m sorry, I’m, I’m a little nervous …" Caroline paused and hung up the Gaussian rifle with some hesitation. With a wave of her hand, the mantis knife was more than two and a half meters long and suddenly bounced out of her arm armor.
"Here we go again!" Before warning is still Asano Zhao, but this time he didn’t go forward to meet them, but took a step back from the syncline and blocked Kelan’s front.
"Koran! His goal is you! " Liao Lang drink a way at the same time, but he didn’t throw out the impact grenades in his hand, but showed a folding shield to protect the other side of Koran.
Asano Zhao’s blade in his hand is crisp and crisp, and the shadow rings again. But this time it didn’t choose to hide, but occupied the top of the stone pile and looked down at the four of them.
This time Koran finally got a good look at that thing.
This thing … It’s really a broken human skeleton!
Its main body is a clavicle, scapula and humerus with broken ribs connected to both sides of human spine, but the radius and pubic bone are strangely twisted and intertwined, and a pair of sharp bone claws are three or four times as long as normal fingers.
