Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 195 The whimper from the depths of the street
Victoria's right hand is also a prosthetic, but inside this amputated prosthesis, there is even a miniature rocket thruster stuffed in!

The scorching tail flame sprayed out from her elbow, and the five fingers that were joined together directly pierced in the middle of the face, and then, the whole forearm was like piling, and it went towards the mutant's body piece by piece. It was "nailed" into the neck.

As soon as the ear-piercing whine sounded, Victoria's right hand crushed the mutant's throat—after the entire forearm was not inside the mutant's body, she cut off both legs and the space between the right arm and the torso. The connection, a somersault backwards, jumped off the mutant.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!" Dull explosions sounded in the mutant's body one after another. It didn't take long before the layer of living armor on the mutant's body began to show signs of disintegrating on its own, and the tentacles began to explode. It became transparent, and at the same time the volume shrunk rapidly, and some tentacles even melted into liquid, flowing down the round skin of the sumo wrestler.

Several agents hurried forward and snatched back Victoria who had fallen to the ground, while another agent quickly took out a spare prosthetic to help her put it on.

"...I didn't expect that the bottom card was used up so early." Victoria said, looking at the mutant who was dying. Although she still had the kind of tone without a trace of emotion, which was so flat that it could even be described as indifference, Ke Lan said It was a sigh that could be heard inside.

"Does the hole card refer to the forearm?" Ke Lan asked.

"No, it's the active cells of flesh-eating worms in the forearm... In order to guarantee a one-hit kill, the amount filled there is 35 times the normal dose," Victoria said.

"Uh... Are the living cells of meat-eating worms very precious? I mean... Is this kind of creature difficult to breed?" Ke Lan still remembered the eggshells he had seen in the abyss hatchery, if every one If the egg shells are equivalent to a flesh-eating worm, there must be tens of millions of them...

No, that's not right... If the content of that voice recording is used as a statistical standard, the accurate number should be "40 million 750 million". Moreover, this is only the number of seedlings raised in the last experiment, counting the previous [-] The total number of failed experiments should be far above this number.

From this, it can be seen that flesh-eating worms should be an extremely easy-to-cultivate creature...

"Cultivation is not difficult." Victoria moved her newly replaced right arm, then turned her head and stared straight at Ke Lan, "It's just that every available flesh-eating worm needs a living person as a 'cultivation worm. Moreover, each container can only be used once, as for what the container looks like after use, I think you should have seen it.”

What she was referring to was naturally the priestess in the exile camp who was instantly sucked into a mummy. There is no doubt that these so-called "cultivation containers" are all consumables, and they are all one-time consumables.

As for the source of these "disposable consumables", I am afraid that there are only those condemned criminals who have committed serious crimes...

"Can't it be cultivated in a culture tank that simulates the internal environment of the human body? Or use cloned organs... or, use indigenous organisms as a substitute?"

"You have to ask someone in the research institute, I can't answer you." Victoria shook her head, "I'm just the person in charge of using 'it'."

"Then... is there something that can replace the active cells... that can have an effect on the seed of erosion, maybe some kind of substance in the flesh-eating worm cells, if it can be extracted and analyzed..." Ke Lan asked tentatively. He suddenly felt that perhaps it was the right choice to reveal the news about the stalagmites to Maginot, but the problem now was that he didn't know how to get to the deserted island—only by The existing stone cones are definitely not as effective in dealing with the seeds of erosion as the active cells of flesh-eating worms. After all, although the latter have a small output, they can at least be cultivated.

"You have too many questions." Victoria glanced at Ke Lan impatiently, "I have already said that you should ask the people in the institute for such questions, of course, the premise is that you have the qualifications to step into the The gate of the institute."

qualifications?Ke Lan thought to himself, of course he is qualified to step into the gate of the research institute, as long as he tells all these secrets, it is not easy to enter the research institute... But, you can get in, as for going in Whether there is a chance to come out after that is another matter.

Just when Ke Lan was about to change the subject, a vague whimpering sound suddenly reached his ears, making him shiver uncontrollably, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

"woo woo woo woo……"

The voice seemed to be crying, and seemed to be saying something vaguely. Ke Lan wanted to identify the words contained in the whimpering sound, but the more he focused, the whimpering sounded like The more erratic... And when he relaxed his mind and tried to put himself in a trance state, the source of the whimper seemed to be right next to his ear...

"Did you... hear... any noise in the depths of the street?" Ke Lan glanced at Major Ashkani and Victoria, and asked in a low voice.

"Sound? What sound?" Major Ashkani looked bewildered.

"No, did you hear something?" Victoria turned her head, with a trace of suspicion in her eyes.

"It seems to be...crying?" Ke Lan made a silent gesture, put his hands around his ears and listened carefully...but the sobbing sound suddenly disappeared, and only silence remained in the depths of the street .

"I didn't hear anything," Victoria said, "including ultrasound and infrasound... It's eerily quiet in here."

"Could it be a hallucination." Major Ashkani also said aside, "Mr. Ke Lan, you may be too nervous, why don't you go to the back and take a rest?"

"It's not a hallucination... I really heard it!" Ke Lan can be sure that the sobbing sound did not come from the depths of his mind, but actually came from the depths of this street!

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

"It's coming again! I heard it!" Ke Lan was trembling all over. He ignored Major Ashkani's obstruction and walked quickly to the intersection of "Kabukicho First Street", pointing inside and said, " The cry, like a woman... or a child's cry... is very low, and has a nasal sound like breathing..."

At this moment, Victoria's body suddenly trembled, she frowned, and turned her head slightly——

"I heard it too...but it wasn't crying...it was a sharp scream..."
