Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 122 Leviathan's Skeleton

In order to increase the production of crystallization, the Ark officially contracted the mining rights of the Remains of Leviathan to the eight consortiums with the most comprehensive strength—the eight permanent bases located in the Remains of Leviathan. Consortium built.

When the remains of Leviathan were just discovered, this place was once classified as a highly dangerous A-level relic sequence... However, with the exploration of the advance team and subsequent batches of relic hunters, people discovered that this prehistoric-level relic There is almost no danger in the remains of the giant beast. Apart from the complex maze-like tunnels inside the remains, the only thing that can pose a threat to humans are the indigenous creatures living on the remains of Leviathan.

But for some reason, most of these indigenous creatures living on the remains of giant beasts are weak and low-level creatures, and the largest of them are just things like "carrion-eating polyps" or "ghost-faced rats". You don't even need a gun to deal with these creatures - as long as you have a long-handled shovel that is sharp enough, a strong man who has received basic combat training can take out about three to five "ghost-faced rats" alone.

But this kind of situation will hardly happen-these low-level creatures living on the skeleton of Leviathan will not actively attack humans at all, and are extremely photophobic. It is very difficult to see them in areas where humans are active, let alone encounter It's time for an attack.

A scholar once published a special paper on this. He believed that the absence of those high-level predators around the remains of Leviathan was entirely due to the aftermath of this giant beast that had been dead for many years—even though it had already died. It is a remains, but the fear engraved deep in the genes will still drive those advanced creatures to avoid this place far away.

"It's strange... Leviathan has been mining for so many years, it seems that there has never been a miner missing before?" Ke Lan read the commission again, scratching his head in doubt.

"It happened, but later it was found out that it was done by several other miners. Personal grievances, murder and dumping... This kind of plot can't be more normal." The old dog said from the side.

"How did those murderous miners deal with them?" Ke Lan asked.

"The main culprit was shot immediately, and the accessory was exiled... But to be honest, if I were the accessory, then I would rather be shot directly." The old dog curled his lips.

"how?"

"Those exiled guys had just been kicked out of the base when they crashed into a convoy of exiles... Their ending was much worse than that of the main criminal who ate the gun."

"It's near the base? The exiles are chasing people? Didn't the people stationed at the base open fire on those exiles?" Ke Lan was curious.

"On weekdays, the exiles would definitely not dare to approach the mining base, but that was a special situation... It was the managers of the base who deliberately allowed them to capture the exiled miners in order to serve as a warning to others."

"So that's the case... But this disappearance, I don't think it should be murder." Ke Lan paused, and continued, "There are 28 missing miners, and they were divided into batches within two months. The missing ones, let alone the corpses, don’t even have clues such as bloodstains, clothing fragments, and fighting marks. Unless the perpetrator is the kind of expert who is very good at erasing traces, it is impossible to kill 28 miners in a row. Not a single flaw was revealed."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" the old dog picked his nostrils, "How could such a master assassinate a miner? For work, you can just pull someone to do it."

Liao Zilang also nodded aside and said: "If a competitor wants to slow down the mining progress of the Soma Consortium, they should also destroy the mining equipment... But judging from the photos sent back from the scene, those equipments are basically intact. It's just that people are missing."

"It's impossible for these 28 people to be snatched away by a group of ghost-faced mice, right?" Layton finally regained his strength and approached with his legs crossed.

"If things were that simple, we wouldn't be able to earn the money." Ke Lan took a last look at the photos in the attachment, and then turned off the phone.

"But I always feel that this chick is trying to find a reason to send you money—then shall we accept this commission?" The old dog looked at Ke Lan.

"Accept, why not accept, why do you refuse the money delivered to your door." Ke Lan glanced at the time, "At worst, treat it as a public-funded trip, anyway, all expenses can be reimbursed."

"Okay, let's call the doctor, Asano Akira, and the Mongols. There are seven of us in total. This ticket is nearly 50 million. If you raise some money, you can almost buy a second-hand 'Amran-class' transport plane." " said the old dog, clapping his hands.

"Then what about the matter here? It's okay for us to leave like this?" Layton pointed to the blockade line not far away.

"It's not a big problem." Ke Lan said in a low voice, "They can handle this matter well, we don't need to intervene."

"Magino told you?" The old dog was the first to react, "The military actually knew about the Seed of Corrosion for a long time, right?"

"Yeah." Ke Lan nodded, "They should have mastered the method to deal with the Seed of Corrosion"

After all, they had already dealt with this kind of weird monster long before the headquarters of the Security Bureau was attacked.

……

Ke Lan and the others first turned back to the North Eighth District, and then took another car back to the clinic. Sure enough, Asano Akira and the others also received a commission request from the Soma Foundation, although Ivan, who did not participate in the last operation, no longer invited people from the list. However, her girlfriend Natasha can give up her spot to Ivan—with Ke Lan, a person with the title of "special consultant", there is no need to apply for this level of personnel changes you can pass.

"The departure time is set to be a week later. Since we need to pass through several habitats of flying creatures on the way, we don't take a transport plane, but take the land route. It's no problem to go with the Soma Consortium's supply convoy." Ke Lan looked at the crowd.

"One week is enough for me to complete the transformation and debugging of the new prosthetic body. This time, I want to replace all the important parts with the one with the strongest anti-magnetism." Layton said, he still can't forget the encounter on the transport plane.

"I should be about the same." Zhuo Ligetu said to Ke Lan through a remote video call. Due to the use of more advanced LCL fluid and medical cabins, the time required for limb regeneration has also been greatly shortened - I have to say, Money is really a good thing.

"I'm fine." Asano Akira sat on the chair, nodded while holding the knife.

Although he has become very familiar with everyone, he still maintains a taciturn personality—but everyone knows in their hearts that they can rest assured that they will hand over their backs to this swordsman who doesn't like to talk.

"I have transferred all the money I earned before into my father's account." Liao Zilang hammered Ke Lan's shoulder with his fist, "Boss is willing to believe you, so I believe you too."
