Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 584 The First Joint Exploration
The diameter of the glass crater is nearly ten kilometers, and the deepest part is 500 meters deep according to Ke Lan's visual inspection. The deepest part of the previous rock ravines was only a hundred meters deep. As for the underground ruins hidden in the rock wall, the depth is almost the same.But now, those tunnels and underground laboratories have completely disappeared from this world.

Those sandstones were directly melted in the high temperature of millions of degrees Celsius, and the water or some other impurities in them were evaporated in a blink of an eye, and what was left was transformed into this kind of glass-like substance, which could be absorbed by the sunlight. Under the reflection of the sun, it reflects the colorful brilliance.

But that's not all. Five high-speed bombers flew over the glass crater in an arrow formation, and dense black spots sprinkled from the sky—from Ke Lan's perspective, they were just black spots the size of sesame seeds, but In fact, each black spot is an incendiary bomb with a maximum diameter of 65 cm, a central axis length of 1.4 meters, and a weight of 120 kg. Just one drop is enough to burn a big hole through a person's body.

Hundreds of incendiary bombs were dumped into this large glass crater, a curtain of fire hundreds of meters high rose into the sky, and hot air waves hit Ke Lan's face—of course, compared to the explosion of the nuclear warhead and the plasma explosion just now, The high temperature generated when the glass was fired, this heat wave can only be regarded as a spring breeze for him.

Ke Lan did not remove the active armor on his body - anyway, his appearance has been seen by everyone in the Zero Fleet. Instead of going back with bare buttocks now, it is better to maintain this monster-like state... There is one thing to say, the active armor The appearance of the armor is actually more in line with human aesthetics, and it is somewhat similar to the heavy armor with exaggerated art style in those magical online games, especially those spikes and barbs that look very difficult to handle, they are exactly the same.

But about this kind of armor, Ke Lan has always wanted to complain about it - it’s fine for those heavily armored fighters to wear it like this, why are the equipment of many beautiful characters designed in this style?
If the artists of those games use the same style of armor for men and women, that's fine, but they still have to "magically change" the style, designing the armor to look like a bikini swimsuit, wishing to use all the female characters that can pass the review. All the parts of the body are exposed-the piercing armor and the large expanse of exposed white skin do have a strong visual impact and contrast effect, but if such a set of armor really exists in the real world, the wearer can make a few casually. Move, your body is already drenched with blood cut by those spikes and barbs, right?

"However, for games, as long as it is enough to shoot, after all, 'the less you wear, the higher your defense'... Pursuing a sense of reality in the virtual world, I must have something wrong with my brain..." Ke Lan stretched out his hand on himself He tapped twice on his "helmet" and strode towards the group of marines standing in the safe zone far away.

The expressions of the marines seemed a little nervous. Although no one pointed a gun at Ke Lan, many of them stuck their fingers tightly to the trigger guard. Whispering - don't think about it, the content of their discussion must be this strange crimson armor on Ke Lan's body.

"Is...Mr. Ke Lan?" Major General Alexander, who was dressed almost the same as other marines, stood up and asked.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was probably the too young "No. [-]" of the Zero Fleet, but he still felt a little uneasy when the other party appeared in this image.

"It's me." Ke Lan nodded, the visor on his face split into several pieces, and then penetrated into the skin - he noticed that after seeing his face, whether it was Alexander or those land warriors The tension and vigilance in the eyes of the team members eased a lot, and their tense bodies also relaxed.

"This..." Major General Alexander was about to ask something, but he paused just as he said the word "this".

Among the officers and soldiers of the No. [-] Fleet, he should be the one who knows Ke Lan's details best. He naturally knows that any matter that requires Ke Lan to take action in person must be the highest level of secrets - the previous sentence is often used by undead crew members The words used by members of the club to deal with Ke Lan are also very suitable for the major general:

The things you should know will naturally let you know, and the things you should not know are useless if you ask.

Although the major general's heart is really itchy, but he can get to this level and be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. His ability to control his mouth is still good.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, what you shouldn't know...even if you know it, treat it as if you don't know it.

Only in this way can the seat under the buttocks sit securely.

Ke Lan looked at the slight expression on the major general's face, coughed, and said close to his ear: "People from the heretic sect abducted and killed Dr. Renee, and used Dr. Renee's research results to create a A new type of biochemical weapon, that thing's recovery ability is too strong, I can't kill it, I can only call the fleet to fire."

"Understood, I understand!" Rear Admiral Alexander nodded quickly, "Then how do we report this matter? Do we need to file it in the fleet?"

"Anyway, the primary problem has been solved, so let's follow the fixed process." Ke Lan glanced at Alexander, and found that the other party was looking at the "active armor" on his body from the corner of his eye, and asked directly: "Are you Are you curious about my equipment?"

"Yes...ah no, I'm not curious." Major General Alexander immediately averted his gaze, and said solemnly.

"It's actually just a kind of high-tech power armor, but the shape is exaggerated." Ke Lan patted the opponent's shoulder kindly, "If the soldiers feel strange, you can just explain it to them."

"understand!"

Ke Lan didn't want to explain too much about it. As for the secrecy work, let the guys from the Undead Crew Club have a headache.

"Right, one more thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Major General Alexander's attitude was very respectful—as a high-ranking Ark who knew that the undead crew would exist, he knew very well how powerful the people who had a relationship with this organization would have... Despite his own The general star on the shoulder is almost unattainable in the eyes of civilians and soldiers, but in the eyes of the Undead Crew, there is actually not much difference between a general and a soldier.

"Don't disband the search team, and conduct a radial search around the bombing area... In addition, establish a blockade in the surrounding area to prevent any irrelevant people from approaching—whether it is heretic sects, exiles, or hunters who got off the ark, Mercenaries, even people from the field troops, should we let them in?"

"Didn't you just say that Dr. Renee has been killed by someone from a heretic sect? Then what are we going to search for...?"

"The wreckage of that monster." Ke Lan said seriously, "Even if it's a drop of blood or a strand of hair... as long as you find such things around the bombing area, you must report it immediately."

"Wreckage?" Major General Alexander's face changed slightly, he couldn't help but look over Ke Lan's shoulder, and looked towards the big glass crater in the distance. It was hard for him to imagine that under such bombardment, the monster could still stay what wreckage...

Could it be that the thing underneath...is a prehistoric species like Leviathan?
Not right!If it is a prehistoric species, it should not be able to solve it with such firepower alone.

"Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't even be scum left of that thing, but for the sake of insurance, it's better to be cautious." Ke Lan said, "I'm afraid that there will be tiny tissue fragments during the first round of bombing." Being lifted to high altitude and then carried far away by the wind, then the situation will be troublesome..."

"Is that thing... very dangerous?" Alexander continued to ask, "Do soldiers need to be equipped with biological and chemical protection equipment?"

In Alexander's opinion, the monster Ke Lan was talking about must be dead.But since Ke Lan is so concerned about the wreckage of this monster, maybe even the wreckage of this monster is dangerous——When thinking of this, Alexander naturally thought of "Seed of Corrosion", "Alien Virus" and the like Something, and if the soldiers were inadvertently infected during the search, things might only get worse.

"It's best to match." Ke Lan nodded in agreement, and Alexander's suggestion added a lot of points to his image in Ke Lan's heart—a person like this who can notice the subtleties is It is worth entrusting the heavy responsibility to him.

"To be honest, I'm not very clear about the specific danger of this thing, but it has a strong ability to proliferate. As long as one cell survives, it will recover in a short time. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So that's the case!" A look of amazement flashed in Alexander's eyes, and he nodded solemnly, "Then we must send someone to search the surrounding area thoroughly."

"That's fine, I'll leave this to you. I'll go back to the fleet first. In addition, if there are insufficient manpower, or if you need technical support, you can find the people above... I don't like dealing with those guys. Like the Riddler, he can't even speak human words."

"Okay." The corners of Alexander's eyes twitched, and he reached out to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead-he was almost scared to death when he heard Ke Lan describe the members of the Undead Crew...but this also never happened. Another angle proved Ke Lan's ability: the guy who can make such complaints about the crew but is still safe is obviously not something that ordinary people can afford to offend.

……

……

After pushing all the butt wiping to Major General Alexander, Ke Lan changed into a Marine Corps combat uniform and boarded the plane sent by the fleet to pick him up.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Ke Lan was overjoyed—the two pilots who flew the plane this time happened to be the two who drove the transport plane in the last "stewardess incident".

Ke Lan kept his promise afterwards, and only fired Colonel Roland and several officers under him who were involved in the incident. As for the two pilots, he did not hold them accountable, and just transferred them to the On top of another battleship.

It's just that I didn't expect such a coincidence that the plane that came to pick me up this time was actually driven by the two of them again.

Ke Lan walked to the cockpit very familiarly, picked up the water glass next to the driver's seat, and gulped down the water in it.

The edge of the bombing area was no different from an oven. Ke Lan felt that the water in his body had been evaporated. Now even if he was given a bucket of ten liters of drinking water, he felt that he could drink it all in one go.

"Sir, sir, this is my cup..." Just as the lieutenant wanted to remind Ke Lan, his companion patted Ke Lan hard on the arm. There are drinks in the freezer, wine, tea, coffee and juice!"

"Okay, I'll get it myself." Ke Lan nodded, and patted the shoulders of the two of them lightly, "It's just you two, it's a coincidence that we meet again."

"Uh... Actually, it's a coincidence that we were specially sent to pick you up. Colonel Yevgeny said... there are so many pilots in the entire fleet, we are the two who know you best." The captain who interrupted his companion just now smiled wryly. He said, "We haven't had time to thank you for exempting us from responsibility last time... Otherwise, the two of us might not be able to stay in the army."

"I know it was Colonel Roland's order, and you can't do anything about it. But next time something like this happens, remember to report it," Ke Lan said.

"Harm... To tell you the truth, in fact, it's not that we don't want to report this kind of thing, but... alas." The pilot captain sighed heavily, hesitant to speak.

"You just say it, I won't mind." Ke Lan leaned against the door frame of the cab, and said while drinking the carbonated drink just taken out of the freezer.

"The reason why we didn't dare to report it was because we... didn't know what kind of person you were at that time."

Although the pilot said it very implicitly and euphemistically, Ke Lan still understood what he meant.

"So that's how it is...you are worried that I actually like this, and reporting it will ruin my 'good deed', so you choose to keep silent, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's great that you understand!" The pilot responded hastily, "As for the thing about those bastards installing cameras on the plane, we really don't know...We didn't fly that plane originally, so we went to pick up the plane. Your mission was only received an hour before departure, if we knew that someone installed this thing on the plane, we would not keep silent!"

"The ground crew responsible for inspecting the plane has been sent to prison. Judging from his statement, you really don't know about it." Ke Lan nodded, "But there is one thing I'm curious about, something like this... I am Refers to the 'bribery' aspect, does it happen frequently?"

"It's not high, but we don't dare to gamble." The pilot said honestly, "Even if those big people don't accept bribes, they...wouldn't act like you..."

"Like me? Do you mean making things bigger?"

"Hmm..." The pilot's voice was a little lower, "Even if they refuse, they will treat it as if it never happened... After all, we are all part of the same system, and we don't see each other when we look down. It’s not good for anyone. But if we encounter such a big person who’s good at it, and because of our report, something good will be ruined, I’m afraid we will suffer afterwards.”

"I almost understand...Although those mouse droppings have made the whole porridge stink, those who choose to remain silent are actually the culprits of the current situation."

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Ke Lan knows that it will be very difficult for him to change this situation... But at least, within his Zero Fleet, he will never allow such a thing to happen again.
