Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 168 All Destroyed (two-in-one 4000-word chapter)
"...Why did those bugs appear here?" Sakurai Nai asked, her tone finally slowing down a little.

"We don't know either." Ke Lan shook her head and said, "If Ms. Sakurai has any unique insights, you might as well tell them. We'll all be listening."

"I... what insight can I have, I have never even seen this creature before I came here!"

"Even a genius girl like Ms. Sakurai doesn't know, and we certainly don't know either." Ke Lan shrugged, "Old dog, you say so."

"If we knew the origin of that thing, why would we be in such a mess? Girl, can't you ask some competent questions?" It may be because of Yui's experience, and the different positions of the camps. She is a rare beauty, but the Hound doesn't have the slightest affection for her.

"Hey! What is the attitude of you people?!" Sakurai Nai gritted her teeth and stared at Ke Lan and the hunting dog, "We came to rescue you based on humanitarian spirit...but you actually..."

"We didn't do anything to you? And as you saw, if we hadn't run fast, we would have almost died."

"But how can you leave the others behind—"

"It's not that we left others behind, it's that we didn't have time to save them!" Ke Lan's speech speed increased instantly, "I'm sorry for the sacrifices of Mr. Mitsusuke and other rescuers... But, Who killed them? Me?"

Ke Lan looked directly into Sakurai Na's eyes, and continued: "If I hadn't knocked you out, would you have evacuated with us immediately? If I hadn't used this 'rough' method, the victims would have been killed. Do I need to add your name to the list? Huh? Ms. Sakurai Nana?"

"But...but..." Sakurai Nana muttered, but after "but" for a long time, she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

"From a certain point of view, those medical staff were indirectly killed by you, because you wasted too much time." Ke Lan finally made up for the girl who was less than 20 years old. .

"I...I..." Sakurai Nai's eyes turned red suddenly, she always felt that there was something wrong with what the guy in front of her said, but she couldn't find out where the problem was.

This girl's mind seems to be very simple, and she was fooled by herself after just a few words?Ke Lan thought to herself...could this be the legendary "flower in the greenhouse", who has lived a life like a princess since she was a child, and has never been exposed to the dangers of the outside world?But how could such a "baby" be sent to such a "poor mountain and bad water" place like the bones of Leviathan?

Or is she actually acting?
Like the hound, ever since he was fooled by Youyi's acting skills once, Ke Lan's trust in women... especially good-looking women has plummeted - he still remembers a widely circulated emoji on the Internet , with the text "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie".

It's like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of well ropes for ten years.

"If you don't want to kill us too, it's best not to think about making trouble... This is not a threat, but an advice. Without us, you won't be able to live long in this place alone." Ke Lan glanced at Sakura Ina glanced at her, and her tone suddenly turned cold.

"I... Since you think I will drag you down, then send us back to the base of the Mitsui consortium, then you have nothing to do." Sakurai Nai said.

"To tell you the truth, we are now flying to the base of the Mitsui consortium." Ke Lan stood up, walked to the edge of the cabin door, leaned out and took a look outside, then went to sit next to Sakurai Nai, Turning to her, he said, "But you'd better not have too much hope..."

Sakurai Nao moved to the other side of the seat, and after keeping the distance from Ke Lan as much as possible, she asked, "Why?"

"Because I sent a total of 27 times to the base of the Mitsui consortium... Oh, I sent it again just now, it is 28 times... A total of 28 communication requests, none of which received a response." Layton, who was sitting in the driver's seat, ended up I stopped talking.

"...Could it be a problem with the signal?" Sakurai Nai asked cautiously.

"Before the gene of the Soma Consortium, you can receive the rescue signal I sent with the individual portable communication device at the base. Now the power of the communication device on this plane is much higher than the one I used before. The reason is that you can't receive it...and this plane belongs to your Mitsui consortium, so there can be no problem with the frequency band and identification code." Layton replied.

"Then...then why?"

"Not only the Mitsui Consortium, but we have not been able to contact all the mining bases on Leviathan's Skeleton... I suspect that we may not be the only ones being attacked." Ke Lan said in a deep voice.

"Why? When we set off, everything was fine, there was nothing abnormal at all, and the dozen or so mines attached to the base were also in normal operation..." Regarding Ke Lan's statement, Sakurai Nai didn't understand it at all. I would like to believe, "Since we received your rescue signal... No, it should be counted from the second batch of planes with engineering equipment taking off from the base. Only two hours have passed. Even if we encounter an attack, we It is impossible for our base to not be able to support it for two hours!"

"Miss Sakurai, how long do you think the base of the Soma Consortium has lasted? We also have large energy shields, well-trained mercenaries and guards, and even heavy weapons such as siege tanks... But Do you know how long the Soma Consortium has persisted? Let alone two hours, not even an hour!"

Ke Lan continued: "What's more, it's not that kind of bug that attacked the base of the Soma Consortium, but a humanoid monster that can spit acid... I think that if the attackers were replaced by these bugs, I'm afraid there will be 5 people in a row. Minutes are not needed, and there will be no living people in the entire base."

Although Ke Lan concealed the fact that the spies invaded and the command system was paralyzed, if it was the red bug swarm instead of the "sea anemone heads" that attacked the Soma Consortium before, even if there were no problems with the base's command system, the ending would be all right. Still the same.

Sakurai Nana seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked again: "These bugs... You, you mentioned Leviathan in the communication before, right? You said that Leviathan is going to be resurrected, so these bugs... this is a good thing. Is Vitan related?"

"I think it's related...but I don't have any evidence." Ke Lan said, "We originally cut the rock formation to find evidence, but...you already know the result: Mr. Mitsusuke was killed, and the rescue team eliminated you." There is no life other than…”

Ke Lan said, pointing to himself again: "We were able to escape by chance, only because the previous attack made us all become frightened birds, so the reaction was a little faster than you, and that's it, it's life and death. Dead distance."

"But you must have discovered something. Otherwise, why would you insist that the giant cocoon on the base of the Soma Consortium is part of Leviathan?"

"I've said it all. All of this is just my guess. If you're so interested, I can put you down right now. You can study that thing by yourself."

"You know that I can't do it, so you said that on purpose!" Sakurai Nai said angrily, "I don't think you are a good person, maybe those things are biochemical experiments you conducted in private, because the experiment The product got out of control and pushed the matter to the native creatures and Leviathan!"

"That's really a great injustice!" Ke Lan almost laughed angrily at the girl's words, and even the hound who had been keeping a straight face beside him couldn't help laughing... Ivan simply covered his mouth and shoulders It twitched again and again, "Please, we are just a group of relic hunters hired by the Soma Consortium. Although I have the title of a special consultant, I am actually just a non-staff member. I even just arrived at this place today. The base...these things are not classified, Miss Sakurai, you can find them out by just checking... As for whether the Soma Consortium is conducting some secret biochemical experiments on Leviathan, you have to ask Mansch Mr Tanin."

"Ah?" Manstein, who was named, was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle, "How could there be some secret biochemical experiment, Mr. Ke Lan, you can't pour sewage on my head... ...The mining base on the back of Leviathan is generally configured in the same way for all consortiums. Apart from ore warehouses and refining plants, there are only personnel dormitories... Even if I want to do biochemical experiments, the conditions in the base do not allow it. ...The equipment related to the biochemical experiment is even missing, if you don't believe it, you can call out the material transportation list and check carefully...This matter really has nothing to do with me..."

Seeing Manstein's speechless expression, Ke Lan couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't say that this matter has anything to do with you, it's not me who thinks you're conducting secret biochemical experiments, but this Sakurai Miss Nai."

At this moment, the speed of the plane slowed down significantly, and Layton's voice came from the driver's seat in front: "We're about to arrive at the base of the Mitsui Consortium soon...something seems wrong."

"What's wrong?" Ke Lan asked with a smile.

"There's nothing unusual on the radar, but there's still black smoke in the airspace directly ahead... There may be an explosion or a fire below..." Layton said.

"...Well, it seems that something has happened... But it is expected..." Ke Lan walked quickly behind Layton, grabbed the back of the driver's seat with his hands, leaned forward and looked forward, and saw There is still this faint black smoke in the air not far away, and traces of the smoke column rising vertically from the ground can be vaguely seen.

"Tsk... This is really a serious matter..." The hound subconsciously wanted to reach out to rub the stubble on his chin, but the armor on his hand collided with the jaw guard of the helmet, making a sound Crisp.

"Lean over... Can the height be raised a little?" Ke Lan said to Layton.

"I can't go any higher. If I go any higher, I'll enter the clouds, and I won't be able to see anything." Layton shook his head.

Their current heights are calculated relative to Leviathan's back, and adding Leviathan's own height, they are almost at an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level. If Layton just put Manstein in Hang out for a while outside the cabin, I'm afraid his wet crotch will freeze...

However, compared with the previous time at the glacier ruins, the high air flow here is still very stable. For the convenience of observation, Ke Lan didn't even close the cabin door.

Both Manstein and his secretary were wrapped in a blanket pulled out from under the seat, and the former even needed to grab the oxygen mask on the side to take a couple of breaths from time to time. In comparison, Sakurai Na's physical fitness was much stronger. There were quite a few of them, although the white coat and shirt she was wearing were even thinner.

"Aren't you cold?" Ke Lan turned to look at her and asked.

Sakurai shook her head.

"We'll be at the base of the Mitsui Consortium soon, I suggest you be mentally prepared." Ke Lan said again.

Sakurai Nana was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"We're here... hiss..." Layton gasped for breath just as he said the word "we're here". Since there was a loudspeaker next to the driver's seat, the sound of gasping could be heard by everyone in the cabin. Can hear very clearly.

Everyone's hearts suddenly sank.

"Sure enough." Seeing the sea of ​​blood below, Ke Lan sighed, "I'm afraid the situation in the other bases is similar, and... there is that thing here too."

The "that thing" in Ke Lan's mouth refers to the giant cocoon on the square of the Soma consortium's base—in the base of the Mitsui consortium, there is also the same giant cocoon, but the location of this giant cocoon is It wasn't in the center of the square, but pushed out from the west side of the main control building, squeezing the entire building apart.

"In fact, the location is the same..." Ke Lan slid his finger across the screen, "This central axis is the spine of Leviathan under the rock formation... It seems that this giant cocoon also grew from the spine."

"Then what should we do now? Shall we go back to the ark...or?" the Hound asked Ke Lan.

"Ivan is right, we can't do anything in front of Leviathan... But at least, we have to pass the existing information to someone who is capable of solving this trouble... If we choose to detour, it happens to be It will be staggered with the fleet coming from the Ark, and they will need to collect information from scratch again, which will waste a lot of precious time... I decided that we will wait here until the fleet sent by the Ark arrives at Leviathan. "

[PS I tripped at home tonight, and it happened that the content of the code was not saved, and I didn’t buy WPS, and I didn’t have the function of cloud storage... In the end, I only got back less than half of it... My mentality exploded, so the update was delayed, and This chapter is a chapter that was rushed out in a hurry. In order to secure a perfect attendance award, I frantically typed on the keyboard to collect [-], and then threw it up. I didn’t even have time to check for typos and missing sentences. I hope everyone can understand... I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Blood test... It's like one head and two big...

PPS about why Ke Lan and the others will go back to the Ark staggered with the fleet, because the two are not taking the same route, Ke Lan and the others are small transport planes, the kind of scum with low armor and thin blood, unable to pass through the dangerous forbidden The Ark's official fleet is all large warships, and the no-fly zone poses no threat to them, so they can go directly to the nearest straight line. 】
