Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 569 Progress and Sacrifice

With the help of two Security Bureau agents, the injured were carried into the carriage. As for the minced meat and blood stained on the ground, they were disposed of by the automatic cleaning robot in charge of the courtyard.

After watching the hovercar of the Security Bureau drive away, Ke Lan let out an imperceptible sigh—in fact, even if he killed the two researchers, it would have nothing to do with it... But, what's the point of doing this Woolen cloth?

Is it just to vent your anger?

The reason why the people in the research institute dare to be so unscrupulous is because there are undead crew members who will back them up. Except for the people in the crisis management department who can check and balance them, they can completely override all public power organizations in the ark—whether it is The United Parliamentary Group, major consortiums and powerful families, the military... and even the Security Bureau are all overwhelmed by them in terms of authority levels. If things go on like this, this group of people will naturally become veritable "superior people" ".

People who can enter the research institute, without exception, can be regarded as geniuses... The so-called geniuses, nine and a half out of ten will have some characteristics of arrogance, coupled with almost top authority and material conditions, these two factors add to the Together, it has become the current situation: In the eyes of the people in the research institute, ordinary people on the ark...even including the big lady of the consortium like Zofia Soma, have no "human rights" at all .To them, the entire ark is like a giant livestock farm, and the people on board are like livestock that have been raised and ready to be slaughtered at any time.

To put it bluntly, in the process of the Institute's growing power, its members have gradually lost their humanity.

Even those who are not bad in nature will gradually be assimilated by the general environment after joining this organization.

For example, two high-achieving students graduated in the same year and joined the graduate biomedical department together.One of them has an extremely utilitarian personality. He began to participate in human experiments shortly after joining the research institute, and believed that "as long as they can obtain corresponding academic achievements, the sacrifice of those 'experimental subjects' is worth it."

And another person who is unwilling to start with these "experimental subjects" will be gradually marginalized, not only unable to obtain research results, but even the mentor will gradually alienate him, without companions, resources, and those who can only rely on the human body. Experiments are the only way to obtain valuable data. No matter how talented this student is, he will only be lost in the end.

This is especially prominent in the biomedical department—according to the data obtained by Ke Lan using the authority of the crisis management department, their department alone "consumes" as many as thousands of experimental subjects every year.

There are many experimental subjects like this, some are criminals, some are exiles who have been arrested, and some are people who have owed huge debts and are unable to repay... But it is not just this kind of "scum", there are also many experimental subjects who have not committed crimes at all. People who make any mistakes, like those in the "Psychic Living Experiment Group", many of them are elite soldiers from the army.

Regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent, the researchers in charge of the experimental subjects will not tell them the real purpose and consequences of the experiment... And no matter whether the experiment succeeds or fails, less than [-]% of these people can leave the experimental base in the end.

Asano Akira is already very lucky, because the research institute of their project has seconded many soldiers from the military, and under the pressure of the military, they did not deal with "failures" like him in the end--instead of doing Other "experiment subjects" who have no background will, in all likelihood, be injected with a tube of "sedative" after the experiment is over, and then packed and put into the incinerator.

As for the "experimental subjects" who have made major breakthroughs, the fate is even worse-in the underground ice storage of the research institute, Ke Lan saw at least hundreds of human bodies soaked in various solutions... some were A complete person, and some are a certain part or organ of a person.

If this kind of thing happened in the old era, it is estimated that the entire research institute would be executed for "crimes against humanity"... But on the Ark, the regular law enforcement agencies did not have the power to judge them at all.

Scientific progress does require sacrifices... but that is no reason to treat human life as nothing.

"Perhaps, taking advantage of this accident, the Undead Crew Association should rectify the research institute." Ke Lan thought in his heart, "At least, if the development continues at the previous pace, this group of people may soon become Heretic sects look like that."

……

Accompanied by the sound of the chainsaw engine, the robot cut off a large piece of turf soaked in blood, and then took out a new one from the warehouse to lay it on—except for the two bullet casings that Ke Lan picked up and put in his pocket, All traces were poured into the garbage disposal device and smashed to pieces by sharp blades.

Ke Lan knew in his heart that it was useless to kill these two researchers...or even Renee himself. Only the undead crew member who had the ability to change all this would be able to change everything.

He is just a "chess piece" now, but he wants to become a "chess player"... First of all, he has to become a member of the crew.

He didn't know if the "chess player" was also tied with silk threads used to control the puppets, but at least he had to jump out of the current chessboard first.

Ke Lan turned around, just in time to see Zofia and Ze Luo standing at the door, looking at him.

"I just reminded that guy." Ke Lan said.

"I know, but will it be too impulsive... After all, they are from the research institute." Zofia said with some concern.

"I'm afraid the research institute can't protect itself now. You don't have to worry about them coming back to retaliate against you and the Soma family."

As for herself and the Hunting God Hunting Group, Ke Lan didn't mention it—Zofia is a smart woman. Since Ke Lan was selected as the person in charge of "Agunaktor", she can be sure , this fiancé of mine has obtained an extremely terrifying assistance at some point, and the authority of this assistance seems to be far above the research institute...

Otherwise, a S-level relic that has hardly been developed, a treasure that almost makes every faction jealous, why would its development authority fall to a young hunter with no background?

The achievements of the Hunting God Hunting Group after its establishment can indeed be regarded as brilliant, and the family represented by his surname is indeed an existence beyond reach for ordinary people-but even if the two are added together, put In front of an S-level ruin, that is far from enough.

What's more, this S-class relic itself is an ancient warship from an alien civilization—this is not an immovable city ruin, but a super weapon with terrifying power. Anyone who has mastered this weapon , will instantly have the capital to fight against the entire Ark.

Without that terrifying help, it would be absolutely impossible for Ke Lan to climb to this position.

Although she still doesn't know the existence of the Undead Crew, but as one of the heirs of the Soma family, she will more or less know about this highest authority hidden in the shadows.

Powers like the Soma family can already be regarded as the middle and upper reaches of the powerful class. In addition to the patriarch knowing the existence of the Undead Crew Club, the patriarch's right-hand man and successor will generally also know some news-these news are generally very cryptic, but But it is enough to make people "think about it."

Zofia has always known that the United Parliamentary Group does not actually have [-]% autonomy. They are more like a group of agents—but as for who the agents are, she is not clear.

In the early years, she thought that the family forces behind those congressmen were the "decision makers" who could truly dominate the parliamentary group, but as she grew older, she was exposed to more and more things and learned more about the inside story. More and more, she gradually began to find that things didn't seem to be as she thought at first.

If those congressmen really represent the forces behind them, then the management of the entire Ark may become a mess.

Everyone wants to gain benefits for their own power, so the parliamentary group is bound to be full of open and secret struggles—even the battle for heirs within the Soma family is so gunpowder-like, let alone the game between families .

But the fact is just the opposite. In many cases, the parliamentary group is the role that comes out to check and balance the various forces and organizations, and those major events that need to be decided through the parliamentary group will hardly take more than a day to make a decision-if you let go In the old era, it would take at least a few months just to hold a meeting and argue.

The efficiency of the United Parliamentary Group is frighteningly high, but it is precisely because of this reason that the Ark can gain a foothold on Alpha Planet.

The joint parliamentary group gave Zofia the feeling that it was not like a countermeasure organization composed of representatives elected by various forces, but more like a monopoly full of authoritarian style. In addition, the "joint parliamentary group" did not have [-]% With the news of autonomy, Zofia finally came to a conclusion: above the parliamentary group, there is still a hidden power organization that ordinary people don't know.

First of all, this power organization will definitely not be the mastermind of the Ark—even though the mastermind has a high level of authority, people will never let the authority of the machine surpass themselves. If the time is going to war, the first thing to do is to unite and deprive the mastermind of its "highest authority".

This authority can only be composed of "people".

"Yeah." Zofia nodded and asked, "The whole ship is blocked... Maybe something happened to the research institute?"

"You got the news through the family?" Ke Lan was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the news of the "meme infection" incident was blocked in all directions. Even the dignitaries on the ark would find it difficult to get relevant news—— After all, the "meme" itself spreads through information, and the more people know about it, the more harmful it will be.

Even if the Crisis Management Section had planned to involve civil society organizations in the later clean-up and reconstruction work, the news should not have spread so quickly.

"No, it's those two researchers." Zofia replied, "They had a call with that Dr. Renee not long ago, and mentioned that there was a serious accident at the headquarters of the research institute, but what the accident is, it seems to be They don't even know it themselves."

"Are they calling in front of you?" Ke Lan was a little stunned, "Are these guys so big-hearted?"

"No, they chose a soundproof room before the call, and turned on various anti-eavesdropping devices... But these things seem to be of no use to Ze Luo." Zofia said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there is this great god beside Zofia..." Ke Lan said in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Ze Luo, "What did they say?"

"The one named Renee seemed anxious to return to the Ark. She mentioned that the accident was related to one of her colleagues. Her colleague's research had made a breakthrough. Although the consequences were disastrous, she But I want to know the specific experimental data." Ze Luo immediately said, "She asked the two researchers to be optimistic about Miss Soma, and specifically mentioned that if you come to Miss Soma, find a way to use drugs on the two of you .”

Ze Luo didn't say what kind of medicine they used, probably because they didn't mention it in their original conversation, but even so, Ke Lan could guess what they wanted to use...

"Forget it, don't mention them." Ke Lan said, "Someone will take care of those things for me."

"Is that group of people?" Zofia looked at Ke Lan and asked in a low voice.

"Which group of people?" Ke Lan originally thought that Zofia was asking someone from the Security Bureau or the Crisis Management Section, but after meeting her eyes, he realized that what the other party wanted to ask was not this at all.

"The group of people who chose you." Zofia said.

"Yes." Ke Lan nodded without shy away, "They didn't manage this matter well, so they should take responsibility."

"I seem to... have won the first prize?" Zofia looked at Ke Lan and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"I don't know if it's the first prize or not. I just know that similar troubles will be inevitable in the future." Ke Lan squatted down and picked up Zofia's anklet-wearing foot, with blood flashing between her fingers. However, the ankle ring forged from a special alloy split into two and fell to the ground.

"The more troublesome people are, the easier it is for trouble to come to them." Zofia put her hands on Ke Lan's shoulders and said, "My grandfather told me this sentence."

[PS Thanks to shy Yi Qingchen for the reward of 2000 starting coins; thanks to 340ml for the reward of 150 starting coins; thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by XiuKai. 】

[PPS Regarding the reader group, I have something to explain to you. I lost a group yesterday. It was a mobile game group. I have joined it for six or seven years, and everyone in the group is familiar with it... Although we got together because of the game, it has essentially become a group of relatives and friends. There are only a small group of dozens of people. On weekdays, everyone will press Z and GHS from time to time. Nothing happened. .

As a result, a newcomer joined the group yesterday, and within a short while after joining, the group disappeared, including the account of the group owner... Even with all the games and other businesses related to TX, that account may not be able to log in .

So I couldn't help but feel a little lucky. I, who exploded three reader groups in a row, have not been blocked from my QQ account...

In the past, every time the group was exploded, the innovation group would be strictly controlled for a while, and then it was slowly relaxed... But now it seems that this may not work.After all, my writer account is bound to QQ, if my QQ is gone, then I can't even enter the writer's background.

I originally planned to transfer the group owner, but failed after several attempts, and I don't know why.

There is no way, starting today, the group will start to implement long-term strict management. In order to write this book smoothly, please let me go.As for the VIP welfare group that I promised everyone before, I am afraid that it will be postponed indefinitely...]
