Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 214 Ghouls and Radiant Monsters
"There are at least two hundred lead chairs here..." Victoria's face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of gloom. "Every one is stained with blood, and from the old and new To some extent, this place has been used for a long time."

"The experiment that Yui Arasaka mentioned should use radiation and the biotechnology of the Alpha civilization to transform people into monsters like her..." Ke Lan murmured, just from the distorted corpses. How horrible the pain these people who were used as "experimental materials" endured.

Liao Zilang is also one of them...

"I checked the number of deaths and disappearances in the East Ninth District in the past six months. There are only 57 people... and the registered missing persons are less than [-] people..." Victoria said slowly.

"That is to say..." Ke Lan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Except for the remains that were secretly disposed of by the Arasaka Consortium, there should be quite a few batches of 'finished products' or 'semi-finished products' for this experiment..." Victoria nodded to him, "If you change your mind now, return to blockade If there is a line, there is still time."

"It's too late." Ke Lan said, and took off a grenade hanging from his waist - two hunched radiation monsters had already blocked the exit of the factory building, they crawled on all fours, with high curved spines Arched, the shoulders and chest and abdomen are covered with a large hard cuticle, but the skin on the cheeks has almost completely rotted and peeled off, revealing the white skeleton inside, and the two swollen eyeballs are bulging outwards, as if they are about to come out at any time. Like falling out of the eye socket.

The bodies of these two monsters are close to the ground, their vocal cords have completely lost their original function, they can only let out a low growl of "ho ho" continuously, the sharp bone claws rubbed against the ground, making the teeth sore The scraping sound echoed in the workshop.

"There are also on the top of the head, on the metal beam, three... no, four." Victoria said, holding the Nino alloy steel claws in one hand, and holding the pistol tightly in the other hand, forming a back-to-back position with Ke Lan.

"If these monsters have the combat power of Arasaka Yui..."

"Probably not... Arasaka Yui said that she is the 'final result' of this experiment... and the ones in front of me are at best semi-finished products, but I don't know how strong the semi-finished products are." Ke Lan said, using Thumb flicked the safety above the trigger...

These monsters didn't leave Ke Lan and Victoria any more time. After a brief confrontation, they rushed forward——

"I'll deal with the two at the door, and I'll leave the top to you!" Ke Lan said quickly, his finger had already pulled the trigger, and dozens of electromagnetic bullets dragged the blue streamer and shot at the man who had already rushed to the front. Those two radiation monsters.

On the other hand, Victoria jumped into the air more than three meters above the ground, and her slender and powerful mechanical legs swept in a circle, kicking all four monsters that jumped off the crossbar into the air.

"You're right, these monsters are indeed much worse than Arasaka Yui in terms of strength and speed." When Victoria fell back to the ground, Ke Lan had already smashed the two radiation monsters into a sieve... The blood of these monsters is dark green and has a pungent smell like rotten eggs. Moreover, when the pus and blood flowed out of the monsters, the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment also suddenly increased a lot.

These mutated radiation monsters are actually patients with severe radiation sickness. They are themselves a mobile source of radiation. Even if they die, their bones will continuously release radiation. This process can last dozens or even hundreds of years ... Unless their bodies are buried in a heavy coffin made of lead-zinc alloy, and a thick layer of concrete is poured outside, these radiations can be completely isolated.

"But the problem is the quantity..." Just as Ke Lan killed the two radiation monsters, more monsters came out from every corner of the factory building.

These radiation monsters are very similar to the ghouls of the old era, but compared with the ghouls, they also have some characteristics of the alpha native creatures, and these characteristics endow them with stronger combat power.

Although the ghouls that have mutated due to radiation look terrifying in appearance, the strength of most individuals is not even comparable to that of a strong adult man.A military and police team equipped with light weapons of the old era can easily clean up a deserted town with more than a hundred ghouls gathered. The only thing they need to pay attention to is the strong radiation carried by the ghouls. As for the ghouls In itself, it is difficult to pose a threat to humans with modern weapons.

But these radiation monsters are different, they are stronger and faster, they have sharp claws and solid carapace... And more importantly, they are not afraid of death... In their consciousness, there is only the desire to kill .

Except for individuals with severely damaged brains, most of the ghouls retain their memories of being humans, and they will only actively attack humans when they have no choice... and when they encounter cleaning forces , the only thing they can do is hide and run away.

When the Arasaka Consortium concocted these radiation monsters, except for special individuals like Arasaka Yui, they must have erased the memories of these people's "lifetime". If you have to find a similar example, those horror movies and end-time novels The "zombies" in the movie are closer.

"Reload, cover me." Ke Lan quickly emptied a magazine, and 20 meters to 100 meters directly in front of him had already fallen a dozen corpses of radiation monsters, but from these corpses The radiation released has already caused the radiation concentration in the factory to reach above the dangerous threshold... Every time Ke Lan takes a breath, he suspects that what he inhales into his lungs is not air, but a fine steel needle, and the respiratory tract is constantly There were bursts of tingling sensations on the ground, and the scene in front of him began to become a little blurred.

"I can't procrastinate here anymore." Victoria snapped, although Ke Lan didn't know whether she was referring to the running out of mission time or the place was too dangerous for her. In short, no matter what it meant, they really couldn't Stay in this factory again.

"Prepare to break through!" Victoria shot the head of the radiation monster closest to her, turned around and stood in the same direction as Ke Lan, "I will charge ahead to open the way, and you should follow closely—if If you slow down, I won't turn around and save you!"
