Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 39 DAS Agents
After checking Ivan's wound again, after confirming that there was no abnormality in the depths, Ke Lan smeared a hemostatic gel like toothpaste, and then used a bandage to remove Ivan's arm and a piece of it. gun butts tied together.

Those broken bone pieces have been embedded in the flesh, and now there is no way to take them out under this condition. They can only help Ivan install a simple pain relief pump. When he feels unbearable pain, just press it. A small amount of anesthetic can be injected into the muscle.

"Ivan, I suggest that you change to a mechanical prosthesis after returning to the Ark." Ke Lan said somewhat euphemistically - although the abnormal state cannot be observed with the naked eye, no one knows whether those seemingly normal cells have Infected by the Seed of Erosion, if it weren't for the uncontrollable bleeding, he might have cut off Ivan's entire arm.

Again, a life is more important than an arm.

"What do you mean... the infection may still remain?" Ivan raised his head, biting a piece of gauze in his mouth, and his chest heaved violently.

"Yeah." Ke Lan nodded.

"It's too late... If that thing is a virus, it should have spread to my whole body with the blood at this moment, you'd better not touch me... Maybe, I will become that kind of long-haired person later. A monster full of tentacles..."

Ivan smiled, but his smile was really forced.

"Unless you are completely helpless, I won't leave your teammates behind." The Hound suddenly shoved a pistol into Ivan's arms, "There is only one bullet in the magazine, if you feel that you are really dead Just kill yourself with it and don't let us do it - but until then, cheer me up, we've got a long way to go!"

"The situation may not be as bad as I imagined." Ke Lan said, he naturally knew that the mutation was not caused by a virus, and the speed of spread might not be so terrifying, but he couldn't say it explicitly. After all, he had no way of knowing the information from unknown sources. Explain, you can't tell them that it suddenly popped out of your head.

Even if he was not sent to the Institute of Biology for a scoop, he would most likely be regarded as an alien by others.

How could oneself be an outlier?
Ke Lan had always believed that he was definitely a pure human being, and that he could recall all the memories from the time he remembered to before boarding the transport plane.

He was born at the No. [-] Human Cultivation Center in the Tenth District of the South of the Ark. His genes came from germ cells donated by a pair of healthy young men and women to the cultivation center. These cells have undergone multiple inspections and layers of screening to ensure that there are no genetic disorders and birth defects. Under the circumstance, it will be combined in an absolutely sterile environment, and then gradually develop into a mature embryo in an artificial womb full of nutrients.

He spent his childhood in the Ark's public education facility, where he learned basics and survival skills. His test scores weren't top-notch, but he wasn't the tail end of a crane either. At least every class was off by fifty points. above.

When the 16 years old chose his future career intention, he filled in the form of "relic hunter", simply because this profession can arrange time freely compared with other types of work, and the remuneration is also more generous.

Then there are more professional courses, various physical training and related tests, graduation, registration, and assignments...

I haven't gotten rich overnight, but I'm pretty good at food and clothing.

He is just an ordinary person, not an outlier at all.

But how can a person who can read the text of Alpha star be regarded as an ordinary person?
Ke Lan rubbed his temples irritably...

What is the origin of the broken stone tablet, the monsters encountered in the ruins, the modified memories of others, the changed stone chamber, and this cult organization that has an inexplicable relationship with the Alpha Civilization...

It was so chaotic, he only felt that the various clues and information in his mind were like a messy ball of yarn, and he would not be able to make a clue at all for a while.

"Ke Lan, your expression is a little weird." Ivan sighed helplessly, "I know you're comforting me, but in the face of this level of alien creatures, it's impossible to retreat completely. ."

"You're not dead yet, don't pretend to be melancholy over there!" Ke Lan exhaled viciously and pulled Ivan up from the ground, "Don't think so much, go back to the Ark first."

Don't think too much, in fact, this is also talking to him.

"Ke Lan is right, it's useless to think so much, and if you have that skill, it's better to think about your girlfriend... It seems that her name is Natasha, right?" Hound said.

"right……"

"And it's the two-time Women's Free Fighting Championship." Layton added quietly beside him.

"..."

"Okay, ready to go." Ke Lan supported Ivan and threw his gun to Leighton, while the hound slowly lifted the curtain.

"I'll go out first, and if it's safe outside, I'll give you a signal." After the hound finished speaking, he squatted out, and after a short sprint, a tumbling dodged into the side of a shack.

Two bullet casings were thrown out by him - this was the signal that the hound had agreed with them just now. One bullet casing was on standby, two were ready to be evacuated, and three were ready to fight.

"Go!" Ke Lan supported Ivan and rushed out. As soon as he got outside, a bone-chilling chill hit from all directions - the average temperature of Alpha star at night is about minus ten degrees, and here is a high latitude In some areas, the lowest temperature can even break through to minus [-] degrees.

Layton followed closely, and the three quickly crossed the clearing in front of the house and rendezvoused with the hound.

"What's the matter, have those exiles disappeared?" Ke Lan just asked, but found that the hound had already put on a protective mask.

"Hurry up, put them all on." He pointed to the shack behind him, and through the gap between the wooden boards, he saw several exile slaves huddled together to keep warm at this time, all in a coma, their faces glowing. An unusual flush.

"What's the matter?" The three of Ke Lan quickly put on their masks.

"It's hypnotic gas... I couldn't smell it in that room just now, but as soon as I came out, I realized something was wrong," said the hound.

Layton was speechless: "Then you still let us out?"

"It's only going to get worse in the house. You don't want to be killed by a cannonball, do you?"

"Is it my own?" Ke Lan looked around. People who can use a weapon like hypnotic gas can only come from Ark, but after going through the previous things, he is not sure whether people from Ark are counted. "My own".

"Not sure." The Hound's shaking of his head suddenly stopped, and a slightly swaying red dot landed on his forehead.

Not only him, but Ke Lan, Ivan and Layton were also targeted by snipers.

"Put your hands where we can see, and then walk to the open space." A voice came from overhead, Ke Lan raised his head, and a "DJI" drone was hovering directly above them. The infrared camera was aimed at the four of them.

The Hound raised his hands and went out first.

"Don't shoot, we're not exiles!" he shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers wearing dark gray camouflage combat uniforms and full-face helmets emerged instantly, surrounding the four of them in the middle.

"Trouble." The hound said "tsk" and twisted his neck a little unhappily.

"What's wrong?" Ke Lan asked in a low voice.

"See their gray skin? Not from the military, but a DAS field agent."

DAS, "Department of Ark Security" - Ark Security Bureau.

They rarely appear in the sight of ordinary people, but they are everywhere.

In any event that may threaten the safety of the Ark, the figure of this group of people can be found-to the eyes of most people, this group of people in dark gray uniforms are extremely dangerous existences, and they are executioners with special authority. , the number of innocent people who died at the hands of these guys was far more than the real saboteurs.

One of the principles they espouse is: "It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go."

　There is a small bug here. It was mentioned before that the temperature range of Alpha star is minus [-] degrees to [-] degrees. This should actually be the value of the equatorial region (Noah's Ark landing point)
　　In winter (when Alpha is farther away from the galaxy's sun) and at higher latitudes, temperatures are even lower.
