Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 281 The Mission of the Mercenaries
Seeing these energy shields, Ke Lan can basically be sure that these people are the convoy that attacked the Tiankeng Observatory... Such equipment with a price of tens of millions, even the top mercenary group You may not be able to afford it, let alone take out two yuan at a time.

"Free fire, attack the target carrying the shield generator first, be careful not to accidentally hurt the old dog!" Ke Lan shouted.

Because they hit their backs, Ke Lan and the others directly knocked down half of the exiles in a round of volley, and then the remaining few people were quickly wiped out under the attack from both sides.

On Ke Lan's side, except for the hound who accidentally twisted his ankle when he landed, no one was injured.

"Fortunately, there are no parasitic containers in these guys." Ke Lan checked each corpse, and then took back the dagger polished by the stone cone into the equipment bag.

Layton took the initiative to take over the task of cleaning the battlefield, but he only said that it was cleaning the battlefield. The only things on these exiles that could catch his eyes were the two small shield generators.

After stripping the exiles clean, he directly threw the naked corpses into the underground lake... After a while, the blood attracted a large group of transparent fish, and in a blink of an eye, these corpses were gnawed All that remains of the food is a white skeleton.

"There is nothing of value..." Layton dumped all the contents of the exiles' pockets on the ground, and found no valuable information except for ammunition, food and a small amount of medicine.

"I knew I should have been left alive." The hound said while sitting on the ground, rubbing his ankle with his hands.

"There is still one alive..." Ke Lan had already returned to the campfire, and one of the two surviving mercenaries just now had died.The other crawled on the ground for more than ten meters with a seriously injured body, dragging a long trail of blood behind him.

Ke Lan walked over, stepped on the opponent's calf, and held the back of the opponent's head with the muzzle of a gun.

"Don't...don't kill me...I...I'm not with them...I'm just a mercenary who takes money to do things...don't kill me..." The other party's tone was very weak, as if he was about to As if dying, Ke Lan thought for a while, took out adrenaline and gave him an injection-this thing can't save his life without other means of treatment, but at least it can make him say everything before he dies. Let's finish.

"Why did you attack the observatory?" Ke Lan asked.

"What, what observatory? I don't know..." the mercenary replied with a blank face.

"You still pretend to be stupid when you are about to die, right? Do you want to have some tricks?" At this time, the hound also limped over and said viciously to the mercenary.

"I... I really don't know..." The mercenary almost cried out, "Our mission is just... just to enter the mountain along with the exiles along the secret passage they found, and help them Just looking for something... I don't know what attack or observation station!"

"Secret way? Looking for something?" Ke Lan and the hound looked at each other, and then asked: "Secret way? Where is the secret way you came in?"

"Not long after I came in, it collapsed, and two people were buried alive inside." The mercenary replied, "It's less than one kilometer away from here. If you keep going east, you can see the blocked I live at the entrance of the secret passage..."

"So it seems that this group of people is not the same as the attacker?" Layton leaned over and said in a low voice.

"No, they're all in one group, they're just divided into two groups, just like our sneak attack this time." The hound shook his head and said, "A group of people attacked the observation on the tiankeng, snatching the stone tablets mined by the hunters, And the other team entered the ruins from the secret passage that this guy said, looking for..."

The hound paused, then turned its head and asked the mercenary sharply, "Hey, you said you came in looking for something, what are you looking for?"

"I don't know... The employer didn't say it clearly. I only know that it is a brown or black opaque glass jar that is as tall as a person..."

"Then did you find it?"

"No..." the mercenary replied.

"Then do you know the true identity of that employer?" Ke Lan asked after taking the conversation.

"It's a 'True God' person...but I can be sure that he is definitely not an exile, and an exile can't afford that much money..."

Ke Lan knows that "True God" refers to that heretical sect. This is one of the names of the internal church members for their own organization. There are many similar names, such as "Eternal God", "Great God" Church", "Unitarianism", etc... It seems that even they themselves have not fully determined the official name of the sect.

"They pay you money as compensation?"

Most of the exiles are bartering among themselves, they don't have the habit of using currency, food or bullets are equivalent to them.

So the general equivalent, only the residents on the ark will have the concept of "money"... This mercenary is right, this employer is definitely not an exile.

"The employer paid us an anonymous credit point storage card... I put the card on the ark. If you can let me survive, I will give it all to you..." The mercenary's answer was similar to what Ke Lan expected. Registered credit point storage card is indeed a very popular payment method for mercenaries like them who "take black jobs". It is safe, reliable, and convenient... The only disadvantage is that you need to pay when applying for this storage card The handling fee is high, but for the owner who is not short of money, this only disadvantage is not a disadvantage.

"Ke Lan, look at this." Layton suddenly brought over a captured energy shield generator, "At first I thought this shield generator was just an embryo dug out of the ruins, with a It’s just a shell. But when I disassembled it, I found that it is a fine product that has been artificially processed. The energy pathway and converter have been improved. Although the trademark and production serial number on the surface of the component have been erased, the inside of the chip The records of these things cannot be deleted, as long as I take them back to the ark, I can find out the origin of these things."

[PS Regarding the energy shield, it is indeed a black technology, but it is not a product of a crooked technology tree, because the core components of the energy shield cannot be produced with the existing technology of human beings.All existing energy shields have their cores excavated from the remains of the Alpha civilization.As for the "embryo" and "finishing" generators mentioned by Layton, everyone can understand them as the original "public graphics card" and the "non-public graphics card" produced by major manufacturers. Alpha civilization is equivalent to the old graphics card. Huang and Su's mother, those human companies that process shield generators are big accessories manufacturers such as X Star and Movie X. 】
