Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 27 Only the last magazine left
Just at this critical moment, two crimson lasers suddenly descended from the sky, directly piercing the vital points of the two snow dragons, and the huge bodies fell heavily on the ground, stirring up a large piece of snow!

Ke Lan looked up and saw a "Raven-class" high-speed fighter hovering right above them. It was the main weapon "Berval II" equipped with the "Raven-class" who had just killed the two snow dragons. type laser cannon".

"Here is No. 1019 of the No. 847 Rapid Response Team of Ark's Fourth Cruise Fleet. It is carrying out the No. [-] search and rescue mission. Please send your identification code within [-] seconds to the unknown person below. If the communication equipment is damaged, please wave your left hand. After signaling three times, squat on the ground with your head up—"

Rescue troops?How come so soon?Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, but he still passed on his identification code, otherwise, it would be troublesome if the driver judged it as a non-friendly unit.

Noah's Ark is not the only human force on Alpha Planet. During these 50 years, there may be more than [-] people who left the Ark.Among these people, some were sentenced to deportation, some were death row prisoners who escaped from prison, and some were bankrupts who had nowhere to go... Apart from these forced ones, there were also those who voluntarily left the Ark: explorers, speculators, and the concept of the Ark Totally incompatible social activists and more.

On the ark, these people who left have a unified name - "exiles".

Without the shelter of the Ark, it is very difficult for the exiles to survive on the crisis-ridden Alpha star. More than [-]% of the exiles cannot survive the first night after leaving the Ark, while the rest can last for a month. Even more rare.

As long as the guy who can survive outside the ark for a long time, strong strength and careful thinking are indispensable, of course, there is the most important good luck.

Most of the exiles hated the Ark very much, and a small number of people were even more keen on various sabotage actions against the Ark. If the pilot of the fighter jet thought he was an exile, Ke Lan believed that he would definitely not take it. Hesitantly pressed the fire button.

"The identification code has been confirmed—" After a short pause, the cold mechanical voice turned into the driver's own voice, "Are you still able to move? I'll put down the rope ladder and take you to the nearest transfer station. ."

"Wait a minute, we still have wounded, inside the ruins!" Ke Lan quickly turned on the radio and said to the fighter pilot.

"The wounded? Inside the ruins? Aren't you the hunters exploring the ruins of A-087? Didn't you encounter a plane crash?" The pilot's tone was full of doubts.

"Bad luck, the plane crashed directly into the ruins, and finally found the exit." Ke Lan said truthfully.

"Okay, report the casualties, and I'll let the transfer station arrange medical personnel and facilities."

"A transport plane pilot and a hunter died, and the bodies could not be recovered for the time being. A hunter was seriously injured in a coma and lost a lot of blood. He was in urgent need of amputation surgery. , and two others were poisoned, and the current situation is stable."

"Understood, my fighter plane can't seat so many people, I will contact you with a transport plane, and it will arrive within 10 minutes."

After the driver finished speaking, the "Raven-class" fighter circled in the sky for two times and left directly.

……

But to Ke Lan's surprise, the one who came to pick them up 10 minutes later was not the "transport plane" mentioned by the fighter pilots, but a "Iris-class" light battleship, which is the smallest of the main battleships of the Ark. However, despite this, the length of the Iris-class battleship still reached more than 380 meters, and it was equipped with 64 sets of large turbine engines. The weaponry and armor were even different from fighter jets.

Even Layton couldn't help but say: "This is really big enough... A battleship was dispatched to pick us up. This is the first time I have enjoyed this kind of treatment."

"That's because you are the only survivors we found in this search and rescue operation." The speaker was a middle-aged officer who stepped forward to greet them. He wears a military cap, and the two winged silver stars on his epaulettes show that he is a genuine Air Force lieutenant colonel.

"I am the captain of this warship and the most senior officer in charge of this search and rescue operation," added the lieutenant colonel.

"This search and rescue operation... This means that there are other victims besides us?" Ke Lan asked.

"Yes, a total of [-] transport planes have accidents this time, all of which are concentrated in this area, otherwise we would not have appeared here in time... According to the analysis of the staff, this serial crash is the cause of the accident. It is very likely that the mastermind behind this is an extreme exile force."

"Damn, these bastards have become more and more courageous in recent years. When I was a soldier, they fled as far as they saw us!" Hound scolded angrily, originally he thought the plane crashed It was just an accident, but now someone told him that it was probably a man-made conspiracy, which was really unbearable.

"The specific situation is still under investigation. Don't worry about it." The captain said, "The unconscious hunter has been sent to the medical cabin on the battleship. The medical conditions at the transfer station are not as good as here, so I will send you directly. Back at the ark, there will be special staff to hand over you - by the way, I heard that you have entered the core area of ​​the A-087 ruins?"

"Yeah, but there's not much oil and water. The only thing that looks valuable is a stone tablet, and it's broken." The hounds are a little depressed. Although the harvest of their trip has far exceeded expectations, you must know that any ruins, no matter what. What level is it? All the first hunters who enter the core area will make a lot of money without exception. Even if it is described as "get rich overnight", it is not an exaggeration. There are many who quit. Compared with them, the harvest this time is really not enough.

"The value of documentary relics fluctuates greatly. Since it is found in the core area, the remuneration given by the research department will not be low. Well, you rest here for a while, and I have to arrange the next action process. ." The captain comforted the hound and left, leaving only Ke Lan and the others in the lounge for a while.

Zorigtu is being rescued in the medical cabin, and Layton probably needs to be returned to the factory for overhaul. Both Ivan and the Hound have done a comprehensive examination. The toxins remaining in the blood are already minimal, and it will only take a while. They were purified by their own bodies. As for Asano Showa and Ke Lan, most of them had skin injuries, and they would be fine after a simple treatment.

"It really took a life to come back..." The Hound sighed and stretched hard.

"Actually, I think there are still many problems in that ruin..." Leighton interjected, but was quickly interrupted by the hound:
"Which relic has fewer problems? How many relics can we humans thoroughly understand so far? Don't worry about eating radishes here, this kind of thing is not something we need to struggle with, I will do it now. I just want to go back to my bed and have a good sleep..." The hound yawned and continued, "Well, since we have escaped, the ruins have nothing to do with us, you said before that I was suspicious, you yourself Isn't that what it looks like?"

……

On one side, Leighton and the Hound were still chatting without a word, while Ke Lan on the other side was sitting in his seat silently checking his equipment, while thinking about what happened not long ago.

Reading the text of the Alpha Civilization... This is an incredible ability-he knows very well how much this ability can contribute to mankind... However, he can't do it.

If he really confessed, how would Ark treat him, or to put it another way: how would he "handle" him?
At that time, his life will no longer belong to himself, but "belongs to the wealth of all mankind".

"……Ugh."

At this moment, the movement in his hand suddenly stopped - his left hand was holding a pistol, and his right hand was holding a magazine with only one bullet left.

Ke Lan remembered very clearly that he never fired even a single shot when facing the resurrected pilot or when he encountered Xue Long on the mountain.

And at the time of departure, the magazine must be full.

When was that bullet used?
"That... old dog, have I fired a gun before?" Ke Lan asked, looking at the hound beside him.

"Shoot? Why are you asking that?"

"Nothing, just ask."

"The parasitic bitch was killed by Ivan, and you didn't shoot... There shouldn't be any schizophrenia there. Bullets don't have much effect on those things. As for the later face of the monster, did you shoot? I didn't notice the gun." Hound said while recalling, the monster in his mouth naturally refers to the pilot who was resurrected from the sarcophagus.

"Then have any of you used my gun?"

"Definitely not."

...If that's the case, why is there only one bullet left in the magazine?When exactly did you fire the gun?
