Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 586 The First Joint Exploration
Ke Lan didn't ask too much, he is not the kind of person who meddles in other people's affairs, especially other people's family affairs.

Several engineers briefly introduced to Ke Lan the design idea of ​​the frontline supply base—this base is said to be a building complex, but it uses an integrated frame. In a sense, the entire base can be regarded as a A "cabin" composed of layers of nesting dolls.When encountering danger, the entire base can be directly "raised from the ground" and moved to the outside of "Yagunaktor" through the teleportation device.

Ke Lan originally had only one main requirement for the base, that is, the defense capability is strong enough, and it is best designed as a military fortress. However, this group of engineers went one step further and designed it as a battleship with the ability to act on its own ——That's right, this base has the ability to hang in the air, and it can even be incorporated into the battle order of the Zero Fleet, acting together with other warships.

The reason why they designed this way is entirely because the resources at hand are too rich. It would be a waste to use these resources to just build a base...Since the Ye's consortium is generous enough, these guys just let themselves go. The standards of all materials have been raised to the top, so that the initial budget of the entire "Frontline Supply Base" has reached more than sixteen times the cost of the "New Dawn".

If it were any other Party A, the design proposal would have been rejected as soon as it was put forward, but the Ye family not only did not reject the design proposal, but even gave the production lines of four of its factories that produce high-end mecha skeletons to it. Stopped it, and put all these resources into the production of base components.

It is no exaggeration to say that now nearly half of the business under the Yip Consortium has turned to serve this exploration operation. The stocks of non-ferrous metals and high molecular polymers have been trading at their daily limit for several consecutive days, allowing some stock investors with a keen sense of smell to make a lot of money.

Ye's consortium has completely bet their treasure on this ancient battleship from the third civilization. This is a big gamble, and there is almost no way out.

……

Perhaps it was because Ke Lan was busy every day from opening his eyes until late at night, and Ke Lan hardly felt anything. A month had passed, and he didn't realize until the Hound and the others returned to the battleship with a large group of people. The first joint exploration of China is about to begin.

A total of three groups of people arrived at "Yagunaktor" today, they are the "Grey Bird Hunting Group" named after the Yip Consortium; "Tide Hunting Group"; and the lone hunter nicknamed "33" and his group of brothers.

The hunters sent by the "Grey Bird Hunting Group" this time are a group of old faces on the leaderboard, but these people are familiar with Ke Lan and the others, but they have no experience of cooperation—every time the Gray Bird Hunting Group goes out on a mission, They are all made by their own hunters, and they never cooperate with outsiders... Speaking of which, this is the first "non-exclusive operation" of the Gray Bird Hunting Group after it became famous.

These people are wearing uniform black combat uniforms, well-equipped, and have a clear division of labor. The leader is one of the best elite hunters in the circle and the number one instructor of the Gray Bird Hunting Group, "Ghost Owl"-although this guy has chosen a "mourning bird" He is nicknamed, but he has led the team for more than ten years, but there has never been a serious casualty accident.

A boring netizen once initiated a poll in the forum, "Which hunting group (or which hunter) do you most want to explore the ruins with?", the ranking of the ghost owl is fully ahead of No.3more than 4000 votes, even if this It is just an entertainment poll, and it is enough to prove that this person's leadership ability is recognized as excellent.

As for No.1, although she is also a very powerful relic hunter, she is not as capable as Ghost Owl in all aspects... The reason why she got the most votes is simply because she is a beautiful woman with a stunning face.

Most of the people who voted for her were animals who were thinking from the lower body and people who had fun watching a show. As for the hunters who voted seriously, nine out of ten voted for the ghost owl.

There has always been a saying in the hunter circle, "It is lucky to be able to work under the hands of the ghost owl boss. At least your chance of surviving to retirement is several times that of other colleagues."

Although the hunters of the Gray Bird Hunting Group were very quiet, their expressions were very relaxed—whether it was for their leader or themselves, this group of elites had full confidence.

On the other hand, the Tide Hunting Group, this group of people is obviously much more nervous, and the difference in quality between them and the Gray Bird Hunting Group is clearly visible.

The Tide Hunting Group is a consortium-level hunting group temporarily registered by the Soma Consortium. However, this Tide Hunting Group has not yet completed the "qualification certification". Officially registered successfully.

The leader of the tide hunting group is Caroline, the first mate of the former "Pioneer" icebreaker—but her leader is actually a false post. Her main mission is to protect the safety of Zofia Soma, she will not act with other people.As for the command of the Tide Hunting Group, it was fully entrusted to Ke Lan and the others.

Ke Lan glanced at the 25 people who were selected. These people are all men who have been fighting at sea all year round. Naturally, there is no need to talk about their physical fitness... At the end of the team, Ke Lan saw two people who had dealt with before. people.

"Old Bus" Bartelty, who had met them at the barbecue stall back then, and his immediate boss, the deputy head of the mechanic team, Quinn.

Quinn's figure looks stronger than before, but the old bus still looks lean, but his two mechanical arms have all been replaced with the latest models produced by "Maya Creatures".

"These boys are of good quality." The hound stood beside Ke Lan calmly, and whispered in his ear, "They are all good seedlings, and they are also very disciplined. The only problem is that the training time is a bit short. Moreover, none of them have personally come into contact with the ruins, if there is enough time, take this group of people to the C-level and D-level ruins to exercise, and the situation will be much better."

As the hound talked, he couldn't stop looking at the Gray Bird Hunting Group on the other side from the corner of his eyes—obviously, the gap between the two groups made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"It's okay, old dog," Ke Lan saw the hound's careful thinking, and patted him on the shoulder, "The ones selected by Gray Bird are all experienced hunters, how can the newcomers under our hands compare with others? ...Besides, this group of people are all used to the wind and waves at sea, and now they are just a little uncomfortable, you can't regard them as the kind of rookies who left the ark for the first time."

"Of course, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want any of these people." The hound nodded. "Except for the old bus, I have carefully selected everyone else."

"Didn't you choose the old bus?"

"No." The hound shook his head, "There are several people who are better than him, but this guy squeezed in because of his friendship with us... Uh, but then again, his I have passed several basic assessments, and I am only a few points lower than the others."

"I don't think this guy is so courageous, right? Why does he have to participate in this exploration operation? Is it to change a robotic arm for himself?" Ke Lan asked a little puzzled.

"Ahem... I heard, I just heard, that old man fell in love with a girl, but he used to be a boatman, basically he spent as much as he earned, and he didn't have any savings. He lived in the Soma consortium for free. The provided staff dormitory can’t even afford a two-bedroom apartment, so…”

"That's why I came to you with the cheek, hoping to open a back door for him to come in, right?"

"Oh, anyway, the score of the old bus is not much different from the others, and we all know each other, so it's easy to do... Anyway, the person who pays him is the Soma Consortium, not us." The hound said .

"I'm not talking about this... I always feel that this reason is like a flag."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Think about it, in novels or film and television dramas, how many characters who say 'I'll go home and get married after finishing this vote' can survive to the end?"

"Ah... from what you said, it seems that this is really the case!" The hound was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Bartelti, who was chatting with Quinn without realizing it, and said, "I will take this Guy go back!"

"Wait..." Ke Lan grabbed the hound, "If you drive the old bus back now, wouldn't you ruin his job? Maybe the Soma Consortium will claim money from him for two new robotic arms Woolen cloth."

"Then what should I do? I'll run to him now and tell him to be careful?" The hound rubbed the stubble on his chin with some irritability, "It's not a problem either!"

"There's no need to tell the old man about this. People like them who make a living at sea are superstitious. If you tell him these things, he may not have a big reaction on the surface, but The impact on the mentality is very fatal... We don't need to kick the old man out of the team, and let him be responsible for the task of logistics support. "

"Such an arrangement is fine." The Hound nodded, "Anyway, a group of people must be assigned to handle logistics."

The members of the Gray Bird Hunting Group, Tide Hunting Group, and Hunting God Hunting Group all settled down in the allocated dormitories. As for "33" and his brothers, because the number of them was too small, they ended up with the Hunting God Hunting Group. people are in the same building.

After Ke Lan and 33 explained the whole story clearly that day, the latter went to contact his companions - he called a total of four hunters, three of them were members of the Velociraptor team, and the other was a woman. military doctor.This female military doctor is not a member of the Velociraptor Squad, but she has saved the lives of several Velociraptor Squad members on the battlefield. After hearing that 33 and them changed careers to become relic hunters, she also resolutely chose to retire and join their team. group.

Ke Lan noticed that the female military doctor's eyes always became very gentle when she looked at 33. Even outsiders like them could see why this girl retired, but 33 herself seemed to be totally oblivious. Unconsciously, he treats her like any other brother.

"It's really a piece of wood." The hound commented, "How about we help that girl and help her break the window paper?"

"Forget it, I don't think 33 didn't notice it, he just didn't want to accept it." Ivan said from the side, "He gave me the feeling that he belongs to the kind of person with a very delicate mind, and it is impossible to even find out about this kind of thing. No."

"Hey, we outsiders don't want to interfere with his own relationship." Layton interjected, "It's better to think about how to get him to agree to join our hunting group... Tsk, here In a month's time, I have completely convinced this guy. To be honest, this guy really has two brushes, and he is indeed from the Velociraptor team."

"What's going on? Did something happen between you?" Ke Lan heard Layton's implication and couldn't help but glanced at him and asked.

"At the beginning of the training camp, the big guy was unconvinced. He felt that the Mongols were bragging before. He felt that it was impossible to have that kind of strength even if he strengthened people. He ran to find someone to make an appointment like a fool." The hound explained , "As for the ending of the fight... have you noticed that the big man's mechanical prosthesis has changed again?"

"We all watched the battle. In the first 22 seconds, Layton's mechanical arm was disabled by the opponent, and he surrendered in [-] seconds." Ivan added.

"Hey... I can only say that this guy is really a monster. No matter how sharp the throwing knife made of Nino alloy is, throwing it with your hands can actually cut my arm armor. It's so fucking outrageous." Layton sighed. , "Don't laugh, old dog, I can only say that it's the same with you."

"I'm not as unaware as some people are." The Hound gave Layton a blank look.

"I can cut Layton's arm armor with a knife." Asano Akira, who had been silent all this time, said, immediately making Layton's already red face turn into a liver color.

"You...you are a monster too!" Layton sighed heavily, "Oh, there are fewer and fewer normal people like me in our team, and even Ke Lan, I guess now Can you hang me up?"

"You said that I used to be weak...By the way, have you already mentioned to 33 about joining the Hunting God Hunting Group? He refused?" Ke Lan asked.

"He didn't directly refuse, he just said to think about it again, but I think it's hanging." Zhuoligetu, who had some friendship with 33, said, "But he also said that he doesn't like to be restrained, and he prefers to be alone. Alone."
