Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 248 Luxury Airship
"My investigation is almost done here, let's meet directly at the airport pier." Ke Lan replied.

"Row."

After receiving a definite answer, Ke Lan raised his head and glanced at the director of the hospital who was standing aside with a respectful face.

In addition to being respectful, Ke Lan also saw greed in his eyes. Although the other party tried his best to hide his greed, his expression management ability was too clumsy. In Ke Lan's view, this The greed in the guy's heart can be seen at a glance.

"Remember, keep today's matter a secret." Ke Lan said to him, swiping his finger on the screen a few times quickly, and a "hush fee" of [-] points has been transferred to the other party's account.

"Okay, okay!" The dean glanced at the account information, his face was full of surprises - he knew that the mysterious and generous relic hunter in front of him might give himself a "hush money" in the end ", but this amount still greatly exceeded his original estimate.

"By the way, I have to kindly remind you that you are just a part-time worker. If these things are leaked out, the only person who is really in trouble will be yourself." Ke Lan said, "This is not threatening you. It's just stating the facts."

"I know, I know!" The dean replied again and again. He is not stupid, so he naturally understands that if such a thing gets out, it will only destroy his job. If he fails, he will be sued by the shareholders of the hospital The court... And his most tragic end is probably that after losing his job, he will be secretly retaliated by the big hunting group that these patients belonged to before. Decided.

When Ke Lan came in, he climbed over the wall, and when he went out, he still climbed over the wall—in addition to the security guards of the hospital itself, there is an "emergency team" composed of mercenaries at the main gate. The employer of this emergency team is The hunting group that the crazy hunters belong to is to stop the family members of patients or media workers who want to enter the hospital.

Naturally, these mercenaries can't stop Ke Lan, but this doesn't prevent them from reporting to their employers. They can't kill them all.

After leaving the hospital, Ke Lan tore off his white coat and stuffed it into a trash can on the side of the road, then found a rental point, rented a shared hovercar, and drove directly to the airport terminal.

……

The Phantom-class high-speed airship assigned to Ke Lan by the Soma Consortium is called "Greek". That leaves the famous Olympic Games.

The "Greek" is currently moored in the exclusive dock rented by the Soma Consortium. This empty ship covered with silver-white armor and a large number of photovoltaic power generation panels has a length of 330 meters, which is very close to the "Iris class". Although the weaponry and armor of the light main battleship cannot be compared with that of a battleship, its cruising speed is nearly [-]% higher than that of the "Iris class".

"It's so beautiful." Layton, who was carrying a large bag in his hand and a three-meter-high metal equipment box on his back, couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that the weapons and equipment are a bit lacking, which is a fly in the ointment!"

"Come on, the control regulations for civilian airships are so strict, so stop daydreaming about giant ship cannons." The hound gave him a blank stare and complained.

"Hey, how do you know that my hands are itchy? I have modified a lot of conventional vehicles and mechas by myself... but I have never played with airships." Layton said with a smile.

"This thing was lent to us, and I can't afford to pay for it if it breaks." Ke Lan said, unlike the Hounds and the others, his hands were empty—all his equipment had already been packed by the Soma Consortium , It was sent to the airship a few hours ago.

"Let's go, go up first and then talk." Ke Lan greeted the others, and he was the first to step on the floating elevator to board the ship.

As soon as everyone entered the "Greece", they were instantly shocked by the luxurious decoration inside the ship - the interior of the entire empty ship, except for the energy core and the engine room, was in accordance with the captain's plan of Zofia on the Pioneer. The office was decorated according to the standard, among other things, the thick rose-red carpet was laid from the end of the main corridor to the boarding port.

"This empty ship is clearly a moving palace!" The hound couldn't help but said, "Damn, I seem to smell a scent of incense in the air."

"Xinggong? What is Xinggong?" Layton was confused about this term he had never heard before.

"It's the place where the emperor of the old era lived when he traveled." Ke Lan explained.

"I don't think the place where the emperor lived in the old era is necessarily comparable. My ancestors... even the emperor lived in tents." Zhuoligetu said.

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down, it makes our group seem like we have never seen the world, and we are laughed at by others." The hound waved his hand.

"But you were the first to speak?" Layton reminded in a low voice.

"Shut up, you're the only one who talks too much!"

Most of the facilities on the "Greek" ship are fully automatic, and the entire crew has been reduced to only three people: the captain in charge of steering, the gunner in charge of controlling weapons, and the chief engineer in charge of managing energy and engine equipment.

These three people are now doing the final adjustments before departure in their positions, so no one came out to meet Ke Lan and the others-originally the ship was still equipped with a secretary and some service personnel, but in Under Ke Lan's strong request, these people were all removed by Zofia, leaving only a few intelligent damage control robots and a service robot for cleaning.

"Welcome everyone to board the ship." The captain's voice came from the loudspeaker above, "The high-speed airship 'Greek' has completed its final commissioning and is ready to take off at any time."

"Well, I see, it takes off on time at twelve o'clock." Ke Lan said, it is now 10:[-], and there are exactly [-] minutes before takeoff.

Everyone walked along the corridor to the ship, selected a cabin they liked, and then gathered in the central hall at the intersection of the two corridors. This is the main dining room on the ship, and it also serves as a lounge and meeting room. The role of the room.

Ke Lan clicked a few times on the control terminal on the wall, and the small door on one side was opened, and dozens of covered dinner plates were lifted onto the dining table by the mechanical arm.

"There's not much time, let's finish lunch first." Ke Lan nodded to everyone, "As for the results of my investigation at the hospital, let me tell you on the road."

"That makes sense. I've been busy packing up my equipment just now, so I didn't bother to eat. I've been hungry for a long time." The hound dragged a plate in front of him quite approvingly, lifted the cover and saw that there were rolls on the plate. A ball of spaghetti with a grilled steak drizzled with sauce on the side.

"Hey...Thinking about the last time we went to the glacier, we were strapped to the seat of the transport plane like animals, and we couldn't move. What we ate was soapy compressed dry food, and we couldn't even poop or pee. It can be solved with a plastic bag... Damn, just thinking about it makes me feel so fucking bitter."
