Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 232 An Immortal Person?

"Even the Hound doesn't know?" Ke Lan asked.

"Nick's military rank before he retired was only a colonel. To get in touch with this level of secrets, you have to be a general at the very beginning... To be honest, even I don't know much." Maginot's tone Quite nervous, he seemed very unwilling to talk about this topic with Ke Lan.

"Then what should I do if I have something to do with them?"

"No, you must not take the initiative to find them... If there is really a need for direct contact, they will send 'agents' to find you."

"'Proxy'? Something like that remote takeover of Victoria's prosthesis? Haven't any of you seen a member of the Undead Crew?"

"Don't say it's me, even my superiors, my superiors' superiors, have only contacted 'agents' at most... As far as I know, the crew has existed for at least hundreds of years, but no one has ever Seeing the real face of any of them... Oh damn, I shouldn't have told you these things, you'd better forget what you just said, it's good for you and me." Magino said.

"No one has seen their true colors? Are the members of this crew association really undead? If they are really like the name of this crew association, then they have all lived for hundreds of years?" Ke Lan Said with some doubts.

"Hey, don't ask, I beg you..." Machino yelled as if he had been frightened, "Stop talking about it, if you talk about it, something will happen!"

"Okay... By the way, your officer said that you will call me later. If there is anything, you can talk about it here." Ke Lan held the joystick of the hovercar in one hand and the phone in the other. Said——In order to allow the driver to raise the gun and shoot, military vehicles are specially modified, and there is no problem with one-handed operation... and this car has a military plate, even if he is captured by the camera Don't worry about fines.

"Ah... Actually, it's nothing, don't worry about it next time... I still have a lot of things to deal with aftermath, so I hang up first." Machino said as if he had been amnesty, and hurriedly Hang up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone of "Didi" coming from the mobile phone, Ke Lan couldn't help but fell into deep thought - Judging from Machino's words, he seemed to be very afraid of this organization called "Undead Crew Association".

That's right, it's fear, not awe... Perhaps even Magino himself didn't notice that there was a trace of obvious fear in his tone.

But if the members of the crew really are immortal, the fear is not difficult to understand.In Ke Lan's view, such creatures can no longer be regarded as human beings... But if this assumption is true, doesn't it mean that the supreme leaders of human beings are actually a group of "monsters"?
If this news leaked out, it would definitely cause chaos. No wonder Maginot was so nervous.

But what makes Ke Lan more concerned is that Maginot mentioned that this "Undead Crew Club" has existed for hundreds of years. ...Could it be that at that time human beings had already mastered the technology of immortality?
Or is it just using dormancy technology to freeze people and revive them hundreds of years later?But if this group of people really have been frozen in the dormant cabin for hundreds of years, the Big Three will definitely take away all the power of the crew during this period, and even the underlying programs of the core mastermind may be changed... …

However, Ke Lan thought of a possibility, which is to wake up one or several dormant members every once in a while, and let the awakened person take power as a representative of the Undead Crew Association... But the problem is that doing so Not only does it have no meaning, but it cannot be regarded as a real "undead".

Since the Undead Crew Association can become the highest authority of the Ark, the members of this crew association must not be some ordinary people, but doing so is equivalent to using everyone as a "disposable consumable". After removing the dormant time, the "actual lifespan" of each person will not change much.

What's more, if it is implemented in this way, it will only take a few hundred years. When the last awakened dormant crew member dies, the undead crew will be considered completely extinct. To continue the existence of the crew association, what is the essential difference from the "Big Three Organization"?

"It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it..."

Before he knew it, Ke Lan had already driven the car to the block where the safe house was located. He stepped on the brakes, and then followed the signal given to him by the hound, and rhythmically honked the horn a few times.

Not long after, a tall and thin man wearing a dark gray sweater and a hood came out from an alley on one side. One side of his sweater was sleeveless, exposing his entire shining metal arm , a delicately crafted wine jug flipped flexibly between several mechanical fingers.

"Ivan!" Ke Lan jumped out of the car, "I haven't seen you play this hand before, I didn't expect you to be so proficient with this new arm."

"Of course." Ivan suddenly showed a weird smile, "Natasha is also quite satisfied, but she always urges me to let me wrap a layer of bionic skin, but I think that exposing the mechanical structure to the outside That's cool enough."

As he spoke, Ivan flicked his little finger, and the jug flew directly towards Ke Lan.

Ke Lan grabbed the jug and was about to twist the cap, but he suddenly remembered something and looked up at the other party: "Could it be medical alcohol here?"

"No, don't worry, drink." Ivan said.

Ke Lan unscrewed the lid, and immediately, a mellow and fragrant fragrance wafted out of it, and he took a sip—the wine was indeed good, but for him, the alcohol was too high.

After returning the flagon to Ivan, Ke Lan turned around and closed the car door, stuffing the key card into his pocket: "Akira Asano and the others, are they okay? The old dog said before that they all suffered serious injuries."

"It's all skin and flesh injuries. If the bones and internal organs are fine, it's just a small problem." Ivan raised his head and took a sip, then led Ke Lan into the alley.

The safe house that Maginot arranged for the Hounds was a warehouse for storing emergency food reserves. Usually, few people would come here, unless there was a sudden food crisis on the ark and the emergency food reserves were needed. The warehouse door will be opened.

The door through which Ivan took Ke Lan was opened in an abandoned underground pipeline 50 meters away from the warehouse.
