Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 193 The real mutant
"Isn't the 'core' of the Seed of Corrosion grown in the heart of the 'vessel'?" As soon as Ke Lan said it, he regretted it—Magino didn't tell him about this, but The only seed of erosion that he personally "dissected" was the one on the weird desert island. If the other party asked, it would be really troublesome to explain.

Fortunately, Victoria didn't seem to notice it. She just glanced at the container on the ground with some disappointment, and said in a mechanical tone without any emotion: "That's why I mistook it for a mutant. .”

She took the injection gun from her subordinate, pressed the muzzle of the gun against the surface of the "nucleus", and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Okay, clean up this pile of rotten meat——" Victoria suddenly glanced at Ke Lan, with a very strange smile on the corner of her mouth, "Do you think I'm a cruel guy?"

"No, I'm just wondering... why such an expensive high-end product can look so ugly when you smile." Ke Lan said.

High-end goods, of course, refers to the bionic prosthetic body on Victoria - Layton said before that a trachea on her body can be worth half of his guy. The prosthetic body parts were no longer the ones Ke Lan and the others had seen in the exile camp.

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the two agents beside Victoria looked at each other with horrified eyes, and then took two steps back slightly, as if they were afraid that something would be affected.

"Because before I put on this prosthetic body, 40.00% of my facial tissue was completely festered." Victoria was not angry, but chatted with Ke Lan, "In order to keep my eyes, I have to pay attention below the cheekbones." They were all removed, and 70.00% of the facial nerve was also removed."

Victoria stretched out her finger and tapped her artificial chin covered with a layer of simulated skin, and continued: "I can't control these organs with nerve electrical signals. All the talking and eating are pre-programmed actions."

"Did the seed of erosion do it?" Ke Lan withdrew his smile. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the commander of the First Fleet. At the beginning of the battle, he resolutely rammed into Li with his flagship. Vitan, the one who died with the wild beasts.

In order to gain a foothold on this planet, human beings have paid an unimaginably huge price - the Qilin of the First Fleet is part of the price, and Victoria's face is also part of the price.

"Yes, that's a mutant." Victoria's hostility towards Ke Lan seemed to have weakened a lot.

"At that time, I was just like them," she pointed to her subordinates. "A total of six teams carried out the encirclement and suppression missions, and in the end, three and a half came back alive."

"Half...half?" Ashkani asked stammeringly.

"The special ability of that mutant is corrosion. That person only lost a leg at the beginning, but when we lifted him onto the transport plane, his waist was all rotten." Because of the replacement of the prosthetic body, Victoria's voice did not change at all, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.

"Hiss..." Ashkani's face suddenly turned pale. Although their garrison troops have also dealt with many "special incidents" related to the Seed of Corrosion, in fact, they are generally regarded as auxiliary units and actually carry out the execution. Yes, they are basically Security Bureau agents like Victoria. As for mutants, they have never encountered them.

"Are mutants easy to kill?" Ke Lan asked, "I mean, can mutants be killed in this way of killing ordinary erosion seeds?"

Ke Lan's question made Victoria couldn't help but look at him more: "That depends on the ability of the mutant, and different mutants have different special abilities... But no matter what its ability is, as long as you can inject active cells into it In the 'nucleus' of it, it will all die."

"That's good." Ke Lan nodded, "Things that can be killed can still be dealt with, and the most feared thing is the thing that can't be killed."

The fusion monster in the abyss hatchery, the huge creature that was once imprisoned underground on the deserted island, the giant beast Leviathan whose resurrection progress reached [-]%...Compared with these things, the Seed of Corrosion can only be regarded as a little witch Meet the great witch.

"If you had really seen a mutant, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that." Victoria sneered and turned her head away.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly.

"Boom", another hit, and the shock is more obvious than the ground.

"Something is approaching. It seems that the tonnage is not small." Ke Lan said in a deep voice, picked up the gun, and put the butt of the gun on his shoulder.

"One group, two groups, three groups, get ready to attack, four groups, set up the 'heavy crossbow'!" Victoria ordered loudly.

Those named agents immediately ran to the equipment box they brought, put together the modular parts in several boxes, and in just a few tens of seconds, a mighty "Calista" was assembled.

The structure of this "ballista" is very similar to the "harpoon heavy artillery" that Ke Lan and the others used to hunt and kill deep-sea giant eels. The main function of this weapon is not to "kill", but to focus more on how to kill the target To "constrain" to live, to create a perfect fire window for others.

The agents had just fixed the base of the "Heavy Crossbow" to the universal notch (Note 1) reserved on the ground, when the guy who caused the earthquake appeared in everyone's sight.

This is a sumo wrestler, or rather, it was a sumo wrestler during his lifetime.

But even the most burly sumo wrestlers can't compare with this "thing" in front of him-it is more than four meters tall, and the width of the body is also close to four meters. From a distance, it looks like a It's like a huge meat ball.

On the surface of this "meat ball", countless cracks were torn open in the skin due to the huge tension, but what overflowed from the cracks was not blood, but bloodshot, yellow and white fat.

In addition to the fat, there are also many tentacles coming out of the gap. Compared with the first two erosion seeds, the tentacles on this end are even thicker by several circles.

"It's a mutant." Victoria said, "This seed of erosion has completely merged with the 'vessel'..."

"Indeed, it's impossible for a normal person to grow into this figure... But, what is this guy's special ability?" Ke Lan asked.

"I don't know, I've never seen such a mutant before." Victoria said, "The 'Heavy Crossbow' is ready, we can't let it get closer!"

[PS Regarding the general notch on the ground (Note 1): All the blocks inside the ark are part of this super colonial starship, so no matter what material the ground is made of, its foundation is a modular metal deck. For in-ship battles, universal slots for heavy weapons will be reserved anywhere on the deck (these slots can also be used for erecting engineering equipment on weekdays) and emergency charging points for charging power armor and mechs. 】
