Chapter 97 Why Not Turn the Tables?
Chapter 97 Why Not Turn the Tables?
No one expected that pyramids could be found on another planet.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Allen and Al looked completely bewildered.
Clearly, no one expected that things would turn out this way inside the ruins.
"this."
After his initial shock, Lin Changdong wanted to issue an order to Alpha to continue its in-depth investigation.
Unexpectedly, the screen went completely black the next moment.
A sound of metal twisting and cracking could be heard, and upon seeing this, Zhang Changgong's heart sank.
As expected, it was pretty much what I had guessed.
There are also unknown creatures inside.
That unknown creature wasn't even a dragon puppet; dragon puppets at least have body temperature and are creatures that can attack Alpha.
Even the infrared sensors on the Alpha didn't detect anything unusual.
Or perhaps the Alpha thermal imaging sensor was damaged, which is why it failed to detect it.
However, he prefers the former option.
"continue."
Seeing Lin Changdong looking at him, Zhang Changgong said in a deep voice.
They brought quite a few Alpha drones with them this time.
It is now known that there are unknown creatures, a pyramid, and glowing crystals inside the cave.
Besides.
They still know too little information.
If they want to go inside and explore, they need to gather more information.
Seeing this, Lin Changdong had another Alpha retrieved and placed into the tunnel.
As time went by, Alpha 2 returned to the cave.
Everyone stared at the pyramid and unconsciously held their breath.
The next moment, the screen shook.
Alpha's location is no longer the same.
Han Bei initially thought that Alpha 2 had crashed again, but upon closer inspection, the video feed was still running.
Even Alpha 2 was still unleashing a torrent of flames towards some point in the sky.
Su Yang and the others stared at the images transmitted back by the thermal imaging device and fell into silence.
In the air, an unknown creature with two wings was flying continuously.
Meanwhile, Alpha 2 autonomously controlled its direction, continuously firing bullets at the creature.
But they all managed to dodge them.
Until the bullets ran out, Alpha II met the same fate as Alpha I.
Zhang Changgong's breathing became much heavier and more labored.
It seems his guess was wrong; the unknown creature actually had body temperature, but for some reason...
Alpha One was torn to pieces without being found.
Alpha II was a little better because Lin Changdong directly handed over control to the AI model inside its body.
This is also why Alpha II was able to evade the creature's first attack and launch a counterattack.
Human intervention is not always the most suitable method.
In the situation just now, if it were Lin Changdong, he would never have been able to dodge the attack so smoothly.
Before Zhang Changgong could speak, Lin Changdong put another Alpha inside.
Each time Alpha is introduced, it brings different messages to everyone.
finally.
After the tenth, and final, Alpha was deployed, the unknown creature inside the cave...
It also perished under the relentless barrage of flames from the Alpha.
Upon seeing this scene, the somewhat numb crowd suddenly had a glint of light in their eyes.
"Continue pushing inward."
Zhang Changgong spoke in a deep voice.
After so many explorations by Alpha, they now have a basic understanding of the situation inside the cave.
As Alpha continued to conduct internal checks, no abnormalities were found.
Zhang Changgong's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with confusion.
Alpha No. 10 has been exploring the cave for so long, and no unknown creatures have attacked it yet.
This was somewhat beyond his expectations.
He originally thought that even if the number of those unknown creatures was small, there must have been at least several.
But unexpectedly.
After killing one, there was no trace of a second one.
In a short time.
Zhang Changgong even had some doubts about whether they had chosen the wrong direction for exploration from the very beginning.
Shouldn't these unknown creatures usually live in groups?
What? There's only one left now?
"Shall we go in?"
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Zhang Changgong.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgong glanced at the time and then looked up at the sky.
He finally nodded.
After arranging for Lin Changdong and the others to wait outside, Zhang Changgong led his team members, who were dressed in protective suits and equipped with thermal imaging cameras, into the passageway.
On the walls on both sides of the passageway.
The candlelight of each oil lamp continued to flicker and sway.
Han Bei and his group soon arrived at the place where the bones were found.
After checking and confirming that the images transmitted back by Alpha One were correct, Zhang Changgong headed towards the location of the cave.
Upon arriving at the cave, Zhang Changgong did not enter immediately. Instead, he used the thermal imaging helmet he was wearing to continuously scan and observe the surrounding environment.
After confirming that there was indeed no unknown creature, Zhang Changgong then ordered his men to proceed to the pyramid.
When the group arrived at the pyramid...
Alpha 10 has already climbed to the top of the pyramid.
"This pyramid is built of crystal."
After confirming the pyramid's material, Su Yang's voice came from inside the protective suit.
They carefully examined the pyramid, which is over ten meters high.
Ultimately, the passage leading to the interior of the pyramid was also discovered by Han Bei and his team.
"So, do you want to go in?"
Looking at the narrow passageway in front of him, barely wide enough for two people to pass through, Han Bei couldn't help but glance at Zhang Changgong.
Zhang Changgong, however, frowned.
After some thought, I decided to use Alpha to go in and investigate the situation first.
But shortly after Alpha 10 entered, the screen went completely black.
"really."
Upon seeing the last image transmitted by Alpha, a humanoid creature suddenly flashed by.
Zhang Changgong narrowed his eyes.
Just as he had suspected, there were unknown creatures inside the pyramid.
Judging from its size, it does resemble a dragon puppet.
But Zhang Changgong and the others did not know exactly what it was.
"Is there still Alpha?"
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Guo Yong.
"That's all, that was the last one."
Guo Yong shook his head and answered truthfully.
"What do we do now, use a regular robotic dog?"
Su Yang looked at Zhang Changgong and asked.
"Need not."
Zhang Changgong shook his head. "Ordinary mechanical dogs would be useless going in. Let's go back first and wait until we get Alpha from headquarters before we start exploring."
"It's almost dawn, I need to hurry back and make a show of things to appease Velen."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang said no more.
He naturally knew what Zhang Changgong was saying.
Since Velen sees them as pawns, why don't they play along and see what Velen ultimately wants to achieve?
Su Yang felt that what Lavis had reminded them of wouldn't be as easy to access as it was now.
Perhaps the real danger lies inside that pyramid.
