Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 54
"Hee hee...hiss..." Facing this naked sarcasm, the moxie head was not only not angry, but grinned strangely. The tongue came out of his mouth and quickly retracted.

"Are you hunters...hehe...or prey?" Mo Xigan jumped off the table and walked towards Ke Lan and the others.

"Dana!" However, at this time, Benson suddenly stopped him, "Don't mess around on the transport ship, it will bring trouble to the consortium."

"Cut... it's boring!" The guy named Dana suddenly showed a very disappointing look on his face. After making a mocking gesture towards Ke Lan and the others, he turned around and returned to his seat.

Benson glanced at Layton, who had already drawn his gun, and said contemptuously, "We're not the kind of bastards living in the wilderness, and we're not going to do it here. You don't need to be so nervous."

"Bah, if you hadn't stopped this skinny monkey, he would have had a hole in his forehead now." Layton put away his gun and stretched out two middle fingers towards the hunters of the Aurora Consortium.

The transport ship has started, the propulsion engine made a huge roar, and a strong push back came from the stern, which just interrupted the conflict that was about to escalate again.

"The shock absorber system of this transport ship... To be honest, it's really not that good..." Layton said with a frown, clutching the armrest of the chair tightly.

This is not space. To get rid of the gravitational force of Alpha star and fly into the sky, it still requires considerable propulsion, especially during the take-off stage.

The entire cabin is tilted over, because the transport ship raised the bow and began to pull up the height... Generally speaking, warships equipped with anti-gravity devices can take off and land smoothly, but the conditions of this transport ship It is not comparable to the warships that incorporate various latest technological achievements. It can only send itself to the sky with the help of the reaction force of the jet thrusters like the rockets of the old era. After reaching a certain height, it will open its wings and fly with the help of airflow.

Finally, the transport ship reached the predetermined height, the angle of the hull was changed to horizontal again, and the cabin finally stabilized.

"Ke Lan, have you noticed, that guy named Dana just now..."

"Well, in addition to the tongue, his neck and wrists have tiny scales... He should not be a common biochemically modified person, but a genetically modified person."

Genetic modification is a very common operation on the Ark, but genetic modification is different. It is an immature technology, and its failure rate and death rate are higher than those of high-level biochemical modification. The natural life expectancy of genetically modified people will also be greatly shortened, and few people can live beyond the age of 35.

This Dana should have undergone this kind of genetic modification, and embedded a gene fragment from a snake creature into the original human gene to produce such a mutation effect.

This technology was once regarded as a forbidden technique. It was not until the discovery of Alpha Planet by humans that the regulation was gradually slowed down under the catalysis of a strong sense of crisis, but despite this, there are still very few people who accept genetic modification.

Compared with biochemically modified people, genetically modified people are not necessarily more powerful, but they require lower costs - and many biological companies are willing to provide genetic modification services for free. Compared with valuable experimental data, The resources required for the operation are not worth mentioning at all.

The people who are willing to accept this kind of transformation are often the desperate poor or the terminally ill. Way to linger on.

According to non-public data from the black market, during these 50 years, more than 10,000 people underwent genetic modification, and only a few hundred people were successfully modified and survived for more than a year after the operation.

"I didn't expect that they would accept a genetically modified person to join the team..." There was a hint of disgust in Zorigtu's tone. For various reasons that are difficult to explain, most genetically modified people have very strange tempers. The moody, some cruel and bloodthirsty, perverts and lunatics abound... Any normal person would not want to spend more time with them, let alone use them as teammates.

"Anyway, they're all cannon fodder, so they're probably used as disposable consumables." The Hound raised his eyebrows and said.

"No, boss... That Dana should be the core figure of their advance team this time." Liao Zilang, who had been observing silently, suddenly said such a sentence.

"Why?" Ke Lan and Hound asked at the same time.

"I know the scales on his neck. They come from a sea snake from Zhonghai," Liao Zilang said.

"What? Is that skinny monkey fused with the gene fragments of the Alpha indigenous creatures?" The success rate of the cultivated and screened earth biological genes is still so low, let alone the alpha creatures that have not been thoroughly studied...

This approach is simply crazier than those exiles who directly transplant the limbs of indigenous creatures into themselves!
"If you're not mistaken, then this Zhong Hai is just like..." Layton said in a low voice.

"It's like a fish in water." Ke Lan's expression was a little solemn, "I'm afraid no one is his opponent in the sea."

"You have to look at these things, I just found them-" Layton did not continue, but pushed the PAD in his hand to the center of the table.

There are several judgment records on the screen, and the contents are nothing more than things such as collaborating, killing people, and the like, and the people who were punished in these records are all hunters affiliated with the Aurora Consortium.

This group of people has a lot of history... Ke Lan originally thought that the conflict between them and Benson's group would at most escalate to a physical conflict, but now it seems that things are not so easy to solve.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry before and didn't understand the details of this group of people..." Layton said with his head lowered.

"I don't blame you, at least this transport ship is much faster than a plane." As Ke Lan said, he patted Layton's arm comfortingly.

He glanced at Benson, who was leaning against the back of his chair and sleeping with his eyes closed. He had already made a decision in his heart-since he had already offended people to death, then if they met underwater, I'm afraid he would have to do it first. .

As for that Dana, it was directly listed by Ke Lan as the number one threat that must be dealt with first.

Without too much communication, they exchanged glances, and they basically understood each other's thoughts.

The original purpose of their trip was not for the city under the sea. The plan to find the flesh-eating worm must be kept strictly confidential. As for sending the video of the entire operation to the Aurora Consortium for nothing, that is even more impossible.

"...It's all fucking trouble." The Hound said meaningfully.
