Volume 15 Gray Fog Forest Chapter 728 Three Questions
Due to the deliberate obstruction of other members of the Undead Crew, many of Ke Lan's plans are actually as difficult to implement as driving the Yaguna Tor... Although he now possesses power that is unattainable for ordinary people, this power will also be constrained by other members of the Crew.
Since they are unwilling to tell me the secrets related to the Alpha civilization and the Alpha people, they naturally will not support me in mobilizing a large amount of resources to find related clues.
If Ke Lan wants to go his own way, he cannot rely on the resources from the Undead Crew.
The only feasible plan at the moment is to form an expedition team that is strong enough...even strong enough to be described as "abnormal", and walk through the gray fog forest.
This plan could be said to be extremely risky... In the eyes of others, it was basically the same as seeking one's own death - even an army of thousands of people couldn't pass through the Gray Mist Forest, so how could an expedition team of about ten people dare to go to the core area of the forest?
You know, the expedition team that crossed the "red line" by 400 meters had high-strength cables tied around their waists, but even so, two-thirds of them disappeared in the pitch-black fog...
Ke Lan's greatest confidence comes from Ze Luo, who has the ability to control time and space.
No matter how strange and dangerous the Gray Mist Forest is, it must at least obey the basic physical laws of the universe... and Ze Luo is an existence that can break this law.
Together with Valentina's Blasphemer mecha and Thirty-three, the "immortal cultivator" who can wield a sword, the combat effectiveness of their team is no less than that of the 1,500-man armored force... If the two sides encounter each other on the plains, Ke Lan and his group can even wipe out the 1,500 people on the opposite side without any injuries.
All it takes is one plasma cannon shot from the Blasphemer Mech... or a wave of Ze Luo's hand, and the battle is over.
…
The next day, Ke Lan announced the plan to everyone in the God Hunting Group.
Ze Luo, Asano Akira and Valentina agreed to Ke Lan's proposal without any hesitation, while the rest of the people fell into a brief silence.
This eerie silence lasted for a full half minute before it was broken by the sound of a can pull tab being pulled and the sound of a carbonated alcoholic beverage pouring out.
The Hound took a big sip of the ice beer in his hand, staring at Ke Lan, and said slowly: "In the core area of the Gray Mist Forest, there is an 'engine wreckage' that the Undead Crew wanted to blow up but failed. In this 'engine wreckage' lives a living Alpha who is willing to communicate with humans... Are you sure?"
"I can't be completely sure." Ke Lan answered truthfully.
Everything was just his speculation, and he couldn't even come up with any reliable evidence.
"Ke Lan, are you getting a little carried away... Let's not worry about the conspiracy of the Undead Crew, or things like the degree of erosion and over-erosion, and just deal with the facts." Hound grabbed the remote control on the table and pressed it. The holographic projection of Alpha Star appeared in the center of the office. Then he flicked his right hand, and the virtual sphere began to rotate, adjusting the observation angle directly to the top of the Gray Mist Forest.
The virtually projected planet disappeared, and was replaced by an aerial view of the gray fog forest taken from tens of thousands of meters in the air.
Looking down from the air, it is impossible to tell that this area is a single entity. Everywhere in sight is completely obscured by thick gray fog.
There are two completely . One is the mud swamp bordering the Molten Mine Area, the Western Plains and the "Hell Corridor"; the other is the "Gray Fog Forest" located on the northeast side of the Great Basin at the 30th parallel north.
The former is the most ecologically complex place on Alpha, and is called . The latter is a death zone where human beings have never been deeply penetrated.
"First, you said there is an 'engine wreckage' in the core area of the Gray Mist Forest. This information comes from the mission records within the Undead Crew. Just like the 776 Special Forces Team, no trace can be found in the military archives... So I'll assume that this information is reliable." As the Hound spoke, he drew a circle in red ink in the center of the gray fog.
"But you said there might be a living Alpha inside the wreckage of the engine. This is debatable..." Hound's heels tapped lightly on the floor, and the hard rubber soles of his military boots and the solid wood floor kept colliding, making a "tapping" sound. "You inferred this information from the mission records of the 776 Special Forces Team. So... we have to face three questions."
The hound raised a finger and said, "First, assuming there is really an engine wreckage in the middle of the forest, is there really a remnant of the Alpha civilization left in the engine wreckage?
"If the video you saw was not edited and there were no omissions in your retelling, the living Alpha encountered by the 776 Special Forces Team only said that a very small number of individuals remained, but it did not say that there was a fellow like it left in every engine wreckage."
"Secondly," the Hound raised another finger. "Even if there are indeed remnants of the Alpha civilization in the engine wreckage in the Gray Mist Forest, we have no way of knowing whether it is still alive."
"One last question." The Hound raised his third finger, "and the most important one... How can you be sure that this survivor of the Alpha civilization is still willing to communicate with humans... In such a long time, the thoughts of any creature may change, not to mention..."
Hound paused, then said in a more serious tone: "The Undead Crew has already blown up dozens of engine wreckages like this. This also means that the special forces they sent out have slaughtered many survivors like the Alpha man who tried to communicate with us humans. When facing a group of barbarians from an inferior civilization who can't communicate and only know how to kill and destroy, do you think the remaining Alpha survivors will still maintain such a friendly attitude?"
"That's what I'm worried about," Ivan continued. "If the Alpha survivors in the engine wreckage are hostile to humans... or even hateful, we have no chance to fight them... Even if we can get through the Gray Fog Forest by chance, we may not be able to walk out of the wreckage alive."
"No, I think the Alphas... must really want to communicate with humans. This is a task entrusted to these remnants by the entire civilization and will not be influenced by their personal feelings." Ke Lan suddenly said firmly.
"Why are you so sure?" The Hound looked at Ke Lan in confusion and frowned.
