Free The Alien Artifact 8 by V Bertolaccini Page A

unexplored Mars! It had new dangers
there! It was exploring where nobody had been before, with its
great deadly environment with its hidden dangers! The region they
were in was the least explored and the great Antarctica!
    He could hardly believe he was at the
legendary Martian Antarctica, and he still sensed there was
something strange there! Something he had not encountered before!
Something that could only exist at such a place, out in the depths
of space, which might not be able to exist on the Earth, and it
gave him an even more chilling sensation of something he could not
grasp!
    As he accelerated on, closing in on the dark
stone of the hill, he increasingly felt a presence of something,
somewhere, in the chilling darkness of the alien world around them,
which he realized never existed earlier.
    Whoever was after him had to be stark raving
mad and out for the kill, and was stupid for going to such levels
to kill him, as if they found his body, which they would surely
discover, as they would find his footsteps in the sand from near
the shuttles and would be able to trace him, and the other person’s
prints, and there would be someone that noticed the person had not
been around, and he could not realize who was there and just
accepted that he was trying to kill him to get the diamonds, which
might have been detected by them!
    The place had to be located in the coldest
place he had been in and he detected it in places all about him,
and it had the look of being the most remote place! Even in the
summer the place was been highly deadly to any form of life!
    He could not grasp why the person was so
positive that there were diamonds, and could go so far to get
them!
    The dangers and the coldness made him cringe
and blindly rush on through the blinding blackness, almost lost,
and he wondered why people took such risks and gambled so far.
    A loud explosion blasted out and a bullet
thudded somewhere nearby and he had to jump through the sand into
the dark landscape for his life! He dared not use his light now,
and he could barely see anything!
    The man could be heard over to his side
behind him and he realized that he could have an infrared sight and
was playing with him and when he reached the stone area below the
hill he just dived at it and ran as fast as he could into the
darkness, going straight to an area of small hills nearby, at the
bottom of the hill, and that was covered up from being seen by the
gunman, and once there he rushed round a hill and rushed towards
one of another five hills, which he chose randomly, and immediately
rushed around, and realized he had finally got away from him, and
with delight saw many more small stone hills going over to the base
of the large main central hill, and randomly kept rushing through
different hills, covering up any sign he was there, and made sure
his footsteps were not visible and he was not being watched, and he
saw the gunman had vanished behind him.
    Once he realized that he had escaped he
started to enjoy going slower and being free from being attacked,
and he thought through what had occurred!
    Why would he go to such lengths to kill him?
Surely the diamonds were not worth that much? There had to be
something else! What else could possibly be there? What could be
there in such a desolate place?
    Suddenly it was like he recognized the place
and mysteriously followed routes through different hills, and was
constantly surprised that he knew things were there before he
arrived and went around corners, and felt he could find somewhere
to hide there and when he finally found a hiding place at the hill
itself, in a small tunnel in a large pile of large boulders, and he
rushed into the small tunnel going through and around the boulders
until he reached the hill itself and found himself surrounded by a
small hidden cavity, where he hid, and faced outwards, buried away
in the boulders, seeing if he could see anything, and checked for
any gaps in the boulders, and when he found there
