Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 220 Arasaka Tower

10 minutes later.

Ke Lan and Victoria had already passed through the residential area and came directly under the Arasaka Tower.

And during this process, they didn't encounter any enemies—neither the rebels from the "Ranger" company nor the radiation monsters that were produced in batches appeared, and the entire residential area seemed to be completely undefended.

"Have you smelled it..." Ke Lan said in a deep voice, "It's so strong...the rancid smell."

"My olfactory system...is damaged." Victoria shook her head, "But according to the thermal... hiss... as shown by the camera, the inner walls of the entire Arasaka Tower... hiss... seem to be covered with a layer of... …highly calorific substances…”

She paused for a moment, then continued: "This tower... as if... hiss... is some kind of creature..."

"You mean this barren tower is alive?" Ke Lan glanced at Victoria in surprise, and then focused his attention on the tower in front of him—but, from the outside, he couldn't find it at all. Something unusual.

"Help me...help me..." That weird voice sounded in Ke Lan's ears again, each time getting clearer. Ke Lan was basically sure that the source of the sound was on the top floor of the Arasaka Tower. that place of light.

"Get ready..." Victoria gestured to Ke Lan, then stepped forward and kicked open the gate of Arasaka Tower!
Ke Lan only glanced into the open door, and knew where the rancid smell came from——

The entire interior of the Arasaka Tower is covered with a layer of carrion-like biological tissue. It can be vaguely seen that there are blood vessel-like structures under these tissues. They are wriggling and constantly pumping some unknown liquid to the top of the tower. .

"This tower...is really alive..."

Ke Lan and Victoria still carried some explosives on their bodies, but it was absolutely impossible to blow up the entire Arasaka Tower with this amount of explosives. Even trying to blast a big hole in the alloy structure of the tower was a little bit reluctant.

If this tower was built on the wasteland, Victoria would just have to place a laser beacon and wait for the fleet's missiles... But this tower is located inside the ark... And, directly below the East Ninth District, is One of the four main power furnaces of the Ark. If the missile did not affect the main power furnace, it would be all right. If the main power furnace was detonated, the death toll would have to be counted in tens of thousands.

"These tissues...are they part of that 'creature'?" Ke Lan took off the plastic holster around his waist, and threw it in tentatively... However, the plastic holster landed on the carrion, but Nothing happened.

"This thing looks very similar to a bloodthirsty creep blanket. I think it's better not to step on it rashly..." Before Ke Lan finished speaking, Victoria had already raised her hand and shot at the carrion on the ground. The bullets hit the carrion. There were several big holes on it, and even though stinky pus and blood poured out, nothing happened.

"There's no time...to waste..." Victoria said as she strode into the lobby on the first floor of Arasaka Tower.

The decoration of the front hall on the first floor of Arasaka Tower can be said to be extremely luxurious. The floor is all made of terrazzo marble as moist as white jade. With Japanese-style decorative carvings, the hollowed-out place inside the pillars is designed as a showcase, inside which are placed samurai swords with gorgeous scabbards... But now, these priceless decorations have been covered by carrion, and only a small Part of it is exposed.

In the corner of the front hall, there was a female corpse in a suit and skirt sitting kneeling. More than half of this corpse was wrapped in rotten flesh... But what made Ke Lan feel strange was that the rotten flesh did not affect the corpse. Even the clothing worn by the corpse remains intact despite any damage caused.

"These things don't seem to be interested in human flesh and blood..." This discovery first made Ke Lan heave a sigh of relief, but then made his nerves tense—combined with the previous speculation, could it be that the "nutrition" they pursued really A seed of erosion cultivated with human flesh as a "container"?

Ke Lan tried to cut off a piece of carrion with a knife, but in less than three seconds, the carrion picked on the tip of the knife "melted"... pus and blood dripped to the ground, and were quickly absorbed by these tissues.

"Carrion tissue cannot survive without the body, and will dissolve quickly..." Ke Lan silently wrote it down in his heart, and then took out a few pieces of test paper from the small bag, and dipped a little pus and blood from the tip of the knife on it.

"The pH value tends to be neutral...non-corrosive...no biological toxicity has been found yet...and the Geiger counter didn't ring, indicating that it is not radioactive..." He suddenly discovered that these carrion meats are disgusting in addition to their appearance In addition to the unpleasant smell, it is actually harmless to the human body - of course, this conclusion is limited to the few basic tests he conducted at the moment. As for whether it is really completely harmless, more sophisticated analytical instruments are needed .

"The elevator... hiss... it still works..." Victoria's voice came from the other end of the lobby, and Ke Lan turned her head to look, only to see that she had opened the elevator door violently, and a wire came from her The prosthesis protruded from the inside, passed through the touch screen used to control the elevator, and connected with the circuit board behind it.

"Are we going straight up like this?" Ke Lan said hesitantly... Even so, he walked quickly into the elevator car.

"Otherwise... you want to... hiss... take the stairs?"

"Let's take the elevator..." Ke Lan looked around, "At least there aren't those...disgusting things in the car."

The elevator's ascent speed is very fast. In less than 29 seconds, the elevator has reached the 33th floor - there are still four floors away from the [-]rd floor on the top floor, and the last four floors cannot be reached by this elevator. If you want to go up, Either change to the core elevator located in the main office of the consortium board of directors, or you can only take the stairs.

"I suddenly discovered that we seem to have missed a very important clue." Ke Lan stepped out of the elevator and said to Victoria while guarding the surroundings.

"What's the matter... hiss...?"

"At the izakaya, all the brain tissues of the victims were removed, but we still haven't figured out where the removed brain tissues went?"

Ke Lan originally thought that Ryo Arasaka might have been an accident, but on second thought, he put a pistol to his temple and shot himself, and his brain tissue had been completely destroyed... In other words, what the heretical sect needs is intact Lossless human brain...

Leviathan's "sacred object" plus the flesh and blood of the Seed of Corrosion plus a large amount of human brain tissue...

What happened on the top floor of Arasaka Tower?
