Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 242 Making a Decision
"There is only so much information I can provide... To be honest, although that place is indeed very profitable, I suggest you wait and see for a while. After all, if you are crazy, I will lose a big client. .By the way, I’ve been doing activities recently, and all the information is 0420% off. In terms of our relationship, I’ll give you half the price, and the money can be transferred to the previous account.” After ACMS_[-] said this, he immediately closed The dialog window opens.

Ke Lan raised his head, and exchanged glances with the Hound and the others. They also saw the content of the chat just now.

"More than half of the hunters who came back are crazy... Isn't this too evil?" The hound subconsciously rubbed the stubble on his chin, and said a little uneasily.

"I'm afraid it's more than that..." Ke Lan tapped the table lightly with his nails, "The time of these people's madness is not consistent, the shortest is 72 hours after leaving the Tiankeng ruins, and the longest is almost a week. Among these normal hunters, some people will suddenly go crazy from time to time... This proportion is still rising, I think, this may be one of the reasons why the rating has rated the bottomless sinkhole as S-level."

"What the hell! If that's the case, why didn't they just seal up the ruins? Instead, they wanted to hide all this information?" Layton said angrily.

"Because of the interests... these hunters did not die in the process of exploring the ruins. Compared with death, the public opinion caused by insanity will be much smaller... Moreover, there is no evidence to prove that their insanity and the S-018 relic If there is any connection, compared with it, the research value of the steles they mined from the tiankeng is worth more than their lives. What's more, the current "average death rate" of this S-level ruins is less than 1 %." Ke Lan said in a low voice.

"The reality is such a fucking thing... The officials and the research institute got the stele they wanted most, the hunting group that the hunter belongs to and the big consortium behind it made a lot of money because of this huge profit. The only injuries are those Ruins hunters who are used by the hunting group as a tool to make money... But, who cares about their life and death... The official and the hunting group are even working together to hide the news, in order to trick more hunters into the sinkhole Go deeper..." The hound said with disdain on his face, "In the eyes of those bastards, the life of the low-level people is not worth a lot of money."

"These relic hunters can unearth so many things from the tiankeng. In the eyes of the people above, even if they exchanged their lives for it, it is a small profit. What's more, people didn't die. It's just crazy... But then again, in our line of work, what we do is to exchange our lives for money." Ivan shrugged and said indifferently.

"Then... then this tiankeng, should we still go?" Zhuoligetu asked, his words were full of hesitation.

"Go...go and have a look first. We still have too little information. We should be able to find more things on the spot. Moreover, I also want to see... look at the stone tablets that have been excavated. Maybe there will be some surprises. Harvest." Ke Lan said, although this relic is indeed evil, ACMS_0420 is not wrong in one sentence - compared with other S-level relics, this place is not dangerous at all.

In addition, in the dozen or so S-level ruins, not even half of the people who went in came out alive. On the other hand, looking at the bottomless sinkhole, even if all those crazy people are counted as the "death toll", it would be miserable. It is enough to reach the threshold of S-level ruins.

"There is a saying that 'true knowledge comes from practice'. I think Ke Lan is right. Go there and have a look first. If something is wrong, let's just give up the mission." The hound patted the table and said, "Layton, You are in charge of finding the transport plane... Ah, no, this time we simply charter an empty ship, remember, it’s a package, not an order with someone, I don’t want to run into bugs like last time again.”

"Uh... old dog, it seems that there is no need for this..." Ke Lan glanced at the phone, and pulled the sleeve of the hound with some embarrassment. The use of it has been assigned to my name, and the validity period of the right to use is... 99 years..."

"Soma Consortium?" The Hound was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized, "This empty ship was given to you by that young lady? What is this? I remember there was a saying in the old era, what is it called makeup... oh Yes, the dowry! Could it be her dowry?"

"It's just the right to use it. Can you be more normal..." Ke Lan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the hound.

The starting capital for the registration of a consortium-level hunting group is 5 million, and the cost of a "Phantom-class" high-speed airship is ten times that amount, plus various internal facilities, additional armaments, and the employment costs of fleet members. , to let such an empty ship fly into the sky, the cost required is at least [-] billion.

"In 99, is this different from sending you directly? And you don't have to pay the salaries of the staff on the ship... To be honest, I'm jealous. If I can be 20 years younger, I will definitely be ashamed Get this little rich woman!" The hound opened Ke Lan's hand and stood up, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and organize your things first, and prepare all the equipment and consumables you need. Buy what you can buy, if you can’t buy it, tell me that I will figure out a way, and leave at twelve noon tomorrow, so it’s decided!”

After taking over the task of exploring the "bottomless sinkhole" of the S-018 ruins at the office, Ke Lan and others chose to split up - Hound and Layton needed to purchase some equipment that could not be bought on the black market ; Ivan and Natasha have to go back to the clinic to deal with the matter there first; Zhuoligetu and Asano Akira, who have nothing to do, return to the safe house to wait... As for Ke Lan, he has a more important Task.

In the intelligence documents sent by ACMS_0420, there is the name and address of a hospital... This is the special hospital that houses all the hunters who went crazy after returning from the bottomless sinkhole.Ke Lan plans to get in touch with these crazy hunters first before setting off for this place—in his opinion, the unconscious "whispers" of those crazy people may contain things that are ignored by everyone. "Key Information".

After all, ordinary humans cannot hear the language of the Alpha civilization... If these people became like this because they heard some "voices that humans cannot hear" and saw "words that humans cannot understand" If so, he might be able to find some special "things" from them...
