Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 120
"I think you may have already guessed it." Maginot picked up his glass, took a sip, and continued, "They implanted the biological weapons made by the Alphas into the human body... You were in the exile colony before. Encountering that monster is a 'container' of biological weapons, and the epidemic in the North Ninth District... is actually not an infectious disease at all."

"The man on the train..." Ke Lan gasped suddenly... Although the surprise was faked, the expression on his face was completely devoid of intention.

He even suspected that he might have chosen the wrong job...to be an actor, maybe his future would be better than that of a relic hunter.

"He should also be a 'container'. That's why I said that your handling methods are very professional. If you accidentally kill that man or let him commit suicide, the parasitic biological weapons in his body will break out and the entire compartment will be destroyed. I am afraid not many people, including those soldiers under me, will survive."

"But the question is, what does this thing have to do with the city under the sea and the 776 special team?" Ke Lan asked.

This time, he was asking the question from the bottom of his heart—the answer to this question was the most important missing pieces in his "puzzle".

"This is going back to the relic hunter who came into contact with the taboo... Logically speaking, the biological weapons produced by the Alpha civilization are difficult to control with the ability of human beings-even if it is the representative of human beings in the Ark Research Institute. It would take tens or even hundreds of years for experts at the highest level of technology to figure out the mysteries, but a relic hunter who has only received basic cultural education can make this biological weapon 'safe' Don't you think it's weird to be implanted in 'humans?"

"Indeed...it doesn't make sense." Ke Lan nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to know why?" Maginot's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"think."

"The content of the next conversation will involve the top secret of the Ark. You must promise to 'forget' immediately after getting off the car before I can reveal it to you."

"……I promise."

"Okay." Machino seemed to have made a lot of determination, stared at Ke Lan, and nodded vigorously, "The real content of the inheritance accepted by the relic hunter is actually the language and text of the Alpha civilization... ...As for the biological weapon known as the 'Seed of Corrosion', it is just a bonus in that ruin."

"...!!" Ke Lan's eyes widened suddenly - this time, his expression was not faked.

The language and writing of the Alpha civilization... Isn't that the ability I acquired by accident?

So, isn't he another human who has obtained the "inheritance"? !
make sense!Totally makes sense here!
Reminiscent of the strange information that emerged directly from the depths of his memory... Ke Lan immediately understood that that person must also have such abilities, but compared with Ke Lan, his ambition is too terrifying... Ke Lan Lan only wanted to protect himself, but that person, after he got the inheritance, actually wanted to use the power of the Alpha civilization to bring mankind under his own rule!
"That kind of biological weapon is probably just one of the many hole cards in his hand."

Ke Lan knows that what Magino said is not alarmist talk—in fact, if he is given enough time, with the help of this almost incredible ability, he himself can also discover many complete and complete artifacts from the remains of the Alpha civilization. It can crush the props of human technological level and "bug level" and collect them for their own use.

But the problem now is that another inheritor has already done so, and the progress seems to be going very smoothly.

"Then how did you find out about him... and his organization?"

"It wasn't us, it was discovered by people from the Security Bureau...but when the Security Bureau was about to carry out the arrest operation, that person escaped from the ark the day before the operation."

"The Security Bureau just let him escape?" Ke Lan felt that the development of the matter was outrageous-since they were ready to arrest people, the target must be under the surveillance of the Security Bureau all the time. Come on, can people run away?
You know, this place is different from the scenes in those gangster movies in the old era. It only needs a few instructions, and the alloy gate with a thickness of [-] meters can directly separate and block each area of ​​the ark. Strength, it is impossible to break through this layer of obstacles in a short time... To arrest people under such circumstances, the description of "catch a turtle in a urn" cannot be more appropriate.

But if someone wants to escape from the ark and go to the wilderness of Star Alpha, if you want to find him again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack...

"On the day before the operation, the headquarters of the Security Bureau was attacked, and 36 fully liberated Seeds of Corrosion rushed in directly from the main entrance of the Security Bureau... Those who gathered at the headquarters and prepared to participate in the arrest operation the next day Agents were nearly slaughtered by these monsters..."

"This……"

"The Security Bureau and the garrison paid an unimaginable price to kill all these monsters, and in order to prevent the infection from spreading, we had to deal with the injured comrades with our own hands..." Speaking of this, Maginot's There was also a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Nick is an officer of the field force, he didn't know about it...but I was one of the three frontline commanders who cleared up the operations, I still remember that when I signed the last order My hands were shaking all the time."

Machino went on to say: "However, the Security Bureau is not a vegetarian. After the clean-up operation is over, they use all their remaining power to track down the clues related to that person... The city under the sea and the 776 special The team is two of the clues found by the Security Bureau."

"Didn't the 776 special team disappear 48 years ago? Why did the inheritor get involved?" Ke Lan asked a little strangely.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart: Could it be because of the seed of erosion?

Judging from the abyss hatchery in the city under the sea, that place is obviously one of the bases used by the Alphas to cultivate "biological weapons", and that deserted island has an inseparable relationship with the city under the sea... so Speaking of which, before me, that person has already been to that place?
Ke Lan's breathing became a little short.

"According to the information shared by the Security Bureau... The 776 special team is likely to be the first group of humans who have come into contact with the Seed of Erosion... That's why we want to know what you saw on the bottom of the sea."

"A cave." Ke Lan was silent for a moment, then said slowly.

"A cave?"

"Well, after entering the water, I encountered underwater turbulence. You must know this, and then I was swept into a cave... As for the specific location of the cave, I am not very clear about it. .” Ke Lan said.

Ke Lan once saw it in a book on psychology: lies are mixed with fragmented truths, coupled with deliberate inducements that meet the expectations of the other party, and the stories made up in this way are better than the facts. It is easier to convince the other party.

"You keep talking."

"Because of the structure of the cave, part of it is hollow and there is no seawater... I saw the remains of the 776 special team in that place. Besides Liao Xing, there were also Collins and Connelly... Oh yes, there is another one named Jinuo Yes. Their equipment was scattered next to the corpses, and in order to survive, I picked up some of them that were still usable and took them with me.” Ke Lan deliberately concealed the matter of the stalagmites, after all, among the things he brought back , Those antique equipment are the most eye-catching, such as stalagmites are not very eye-catching.

"Can you see the cause of their death?" Magino asked impatiently.

"It was suicide."

"Suicide?...Then...have you found Captain Ken's body, where is the black box?"

"No." Ke Lan shook his head, and at the same time he was relieved. Fortunately, when he was "washed" to the surface of the sea by the undercurrent, the black box was lost. Otherwise, this lie might not be able to be fulfilled. up.

"And then, after you found those corpses, what's your next move?"

"I collected some usable equipment, and then continued to explore the cave, but I didn't go far, but I found that I accidentally entered a maze."

"Underground labyrinth?"

"Yes, it's the kind of underground labyrinth that makes all relic hunters' scalps tingle... When I wanted to exit, I couldn't find the way out, so I could only bite the bullet and keep going until—"

"Until what?"

"Until I walked into a dead-end alley, I saw this stone pillar standing in the dead-end alley. The top of the stone pillar is engraved with a pattern that looks like an eye, and at the position of the pupil, there is a glowing radioactive ore embedded."

"Stone pillar... the eye statue..." Machino fell into deep thought, and the hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air.

"Then I pried the ore out."

"Eh? Pried it off?" Magino looked at Ke Lan in astonishment.

"Professional habits... After all, I am a relic hunter..."

"What happened after it was pried off? What happened?"

"Water seeped, the entire cave began to seep, sea water came out from various pores and cracks in the rock, I started to run back, panicked... But until the sea water passed my head, I couldn't find the exit."

"Then how did you get out?"

"I don't know... Just when I thought I was going to die, the current washed me directly on the surface of the sea near the Pioneer... But when I think about it now, I think it's quite reasonable... After all, if If there is an exit in the cave, the water flow will definitely go to the exit."

"However, in the sea area where you appeared, the Pioneer has used sonar to scan at least dozens of times, and no caves have been found at all."

"Then I don't know." Ke Lan shrugged, "I've already told you everything I've experienced... In other words, you probably wouldn't choose to keep your mouth shut, would you?"

"Are you kidding..." Machino twitched the corners of his mouth, and even the fat on his cheeks trembled, "Of course the military won't do you any harm... But the Security Bureau is not necessarily so, so I I will tell you at the beginning——you need our protection."

　Today's chapter is relatively long. I have to go out tomorrow, and I am not sure when I will come back. If I come back late, it may take a day.
