Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 218 Residential Area

Ke Lan could only dodge to one side again. Under the blessing of the stimulant, his reaction speed was much faster than before. Otherwise, he would have died under the heavy naginata just now.

"...Hiss...Give it to me!" Victoria yelled at Ke Lan. Although there were only two short words, Ke Lan still understood what she meant, and threw the modified rifle in his hand towards her vigorously. !
Victoria jumped up suddenly, grabbed the gun in mid-air, and then lightly landed on Zanji's back. At the same time, her feet transformed into a pair of sharp claws, nailed like a ship's anchor. It's on top of that lump of hyperplastic tissue!

Immediately afterwards, Victoria slammed the muzzle of the modified rifle into the wound made by Ke Lan just now, and pulled the trigger at the deepest point!
"礡礡礡——" The muffled sound of bullets tearing flesh came from Zhanci's body, and the next second, the barrel of the modified rifle exploded!
Zanji turned his body crazily, trying to throw Victoria off his back, but Victoria seemed to be nailed to his back, and the claws did not loosen at all.

"And this! Catch it!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ke Lan also threw the frag grenade he found to Victoria.

Without saying a word, the latter pulled the ring of the grenade and stuffed it into the muzzle on Zanci's back, then let go of the claws, and jumped out far away with the help of the swinging force.

"boom!!"

Accompanied by the muffled sound of the grenade explosion, Zhan Ci's movements froze, and a large amount of blood mixed with pus from mutated tissues overflowed from its five sense organs. Its tall body twitched, and then hit the ground heavily on the ground.

"Huh... finally..." Ke Lan just breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish the sentence, he fell down straight, and he only felt that every muscle in his body seemed to be cramping, that kind of The indescribable pain completely distorted his face.

"Ah... uh... ah..." Intermittent groans came from Ke Lan's throat. He wanted to turn his head to look at Victoria, but found that his neck was completely out of order.

"... hiss... normal... drugs... hiss... side effects." Victoria's unique mechanical voice sounded above Ke Lan's head, and he only felt as if he was dragged several meters away, and then something stuck in it When he touched his arm, his vision went dark and he passed out completely.

……

When Ke Lan woke up again, he found that he and Victoria had appeared on the outer edge of the residential area. The towering Arakasa Tower was less than one kilometer away from where they were.

"I...have I been in a coma for a long time?" Ke Lan glanced at Victoria who was standing next to her. She was holding a gun at the moment, maintaining a vigilant posture.

"... Hiss... only 10 minutes... hiss... I injected you with... a relief potion..." Victoria whispered.

"Relief potion?" Ke Lan was taken aback, but he quickly realized what the effect of that potion was—at this moment, the severe pain caused by the side effects of stimulants on his body had disappeared, and it was replaced by a kind of Obvious feeling of fatigue, but fortunately, he is still clear-headed and his thinking is very clear.

"This is... hiss... the residential area, you have one last... chance... to choose... to go back..." Victoria glanced at him and said.

"I've come here, so there's no reason to go back." Ke Lan smiled, and took a pistol handed over by the other party.

"Hiss... first check... the outer residences." Victoria nodded to Ke Lan, and walked towards the residential area first.

……

This is a one-person apartment, and the building area of ​​the unit is the standard 24 square meters of the Ark, which is a level higher than Ke Lan's dwelling.And in the outer area of ​​the Arasaka family's residential area, there are nearly [-] single-person apartments like this, and if you count ten to twelve rooms in each building, there are about [-] or so.

From the information card at the door, it can be known that the resident of this one-person apartment is named Arasaka Ryoya, a collateral member of the Arasaka family, and his position in the Arasaka consortium is in charge of purchasing metal raw materials Salesman... This position is not even considered as a middle-level employee, no wonder the assigned residence is so simple.

The door of the apartment was not locked, or even closed tightly. Through the gap in the door, Ke Lan could vaguely see the toilet and washstand installed on the side of the entrance.

Victoria opened the door and walked in, only to see a dead body kneeling on the tatami, with its drooping head against the kotatsu in front of it, a black pistol dropped aside... There was a bullet hole in the temple on the side of the corpse, the bullet hole The blood on the side had solidified, but the eyeball on the side near the gun hole bulged out due to the sudden increase in intracranial pressure, and almost fell out of the eye socket.

On the warming table was a short suicide note.

"...The package from my family has been delivered, which contains an injection and a sword.

I know what you mean...

But... I really don't want to become such a monster...

I'm also afraid of the pain of seppuku...

Fortunately, the pistol I bought for self-defense last month will come in handy this time..."

The package and the sword Ke Lan mentioned in the suicide note were found in the corner of the room, but the injection was nowhere to be found. From this point of view, after Arasaka Ryoya committed suicide, someone should have entered his residence. Taking away the injection—the door of the room was opened, naturally it was also done by the latecomer.

As for the function of the injection, Ryo Arasaka also wrote very clearly in his suicide note: After using it, it will become a monster - but Victoria believes that the monster here should not refer to the radiation monster they just encountered, but the seed of erosion... …If human beings want to mutate into radiation monsters, one injection alone is definitely not enough, but if it is a seed of erosion, as long as there are suitable incentives, the transformation from the incubation period to the mature period can be completed within a few minutes at the fastest .

[PS Regarding Japanese short knives, anti-misleading (anti-bar) small science: Wakizashi (not ribzai, there was a typo before, but it has been revised now, ribzai is a wrong way of writing, and the difference between ribzai and wakizasa is like The shotgun is the same as the shotgun) is a short knife for close combat, not for suicide. As for another combat short knife: Kaitong, it is a thick-ridged knife used for piercing armor. The weapon used for cutting belly is the first There are three types, known as Huaijian...Generally, under certain conditions, samurai would choose Huaijian instead of Wakizashi to commit seppuku. With a length of ten centimeters, it is very inconvenient to use it for self-use.

In many anti-Japanese film and television dramas, the officers of the Japanese devils directly pierce their bodies with sabers, which is not considered seppuku at all. Samurai seppuku is to cut a hole in the stomach, and they will also arrange for the wrong person to complete the seppuku. Then cut off the seppuku's head to reduce the pain as much as possible - I recommend a movie "The Last Samurai" here. Although this film is suspected of beautifying Bushido, it is still very good in terms of relevant details. Yes, interested readers can take a look. 】

[PPS is here to make a suggestion to all senior executives of Tepco. It is useless to bow, and it is better to directly cut seppuku. 】
