Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 62 Zofia Soma

"Can I ask what your captain is looking for me for?" Ke Lan released Caroline's hand. The female chief officer's palm was slender and powerful, with rough skin and a lot of calluses - capable of Sitting in the position of first mate at this age does seem to have the corresponding ability, not the appearance or background.

"It's mainly to thank you and your companions. In addition, the captain has a strong interest in you and hopes to chat with you." The smile on Caroline's face was quite sincere.

"To me?" Ke Lan was a little puzzled. Let alone meeting, he didn't even have a direct conversation with the captain of the pioneer ship. The captain of the transport ship took over the whole process... How could the other party treat him? The so-called "strong interest"?

Could it be because of the order that made the pioneers "give up resistance"?

However, when he thought that the other party had carried out his almost crazy "suicide" order so decisively, Ke Lan couldn't help but feel a little curious about this captain who had never met.

"Okay." He nodded.

……

The captain's cabin of the Pioneer is located on the second floor of the bridge, one step away from the main control cabin. Unlike the metal gates of other cabins, the door of the captain's cabin is made of dark brown solid wood. From a texture point of view, This should be real ebony, not something imitated with artificial polymers.

The door frame is decorated with golden patterns in the shape of branches and leaves, and under the feet is the polished marble floor. The floor is covered with a soft and thick carpet, and an exquisite carved crystal lamp is fixed beside the door... The captain's room alone The entrance is full of a magnificent retro atmosphere, which forms a sharp contrast with the simple and technologically-sound master control cabin at the other end of the corridor.

The Hound didn't follow. He, Layton, and Natasha went to take care of Drogitu. In his original words, "I don't like to deal with those superiors. If the captain comes to the deck in person You might as well think about picking me up."

However, he still let Liao Zilang stay. In addition, Asano Akira also followed Ke Lan's back.

The two of them can be regarded as the strongest melee combat ability in this team, and the intention of the hound is quite obvious - after the DAS incident, his trust in the Ark management has been low enough Low, even Layton couldn't help complaining that he was suffering from severe persecution paranoia...

"Come in." Caroline pushed open the door of the captain's room.

"You... hello."

Ke Lan's expression was a little stiff. He never imagined that the captain of the Pioneer icebreaker was also a woman, and she was also a stunning beauty.

Of course, beauty is not the key. In this era when genetic modification and plastic surgery are extremely common, beautiful women are not a rare species. The key is to be young—this beautiful captain will definitely not look older than 30 years old, even older than a Caroline, the first mate, is still young!

Regardless of whether it is a private aviation academy or a military academy, even if you skip a grade, you must be 25 years old when you graduate. To be promoted to the first officer, you must have more than five years of work experience and more than 1000 hours of driving time. As for the captain, Let alone, the requirements will only be higher.

Although this is only a regulation on an empty ship, considering that the actual value of the Pioneer icebreaker is higher than that of most empty ships, it is impossible to hand over the position of captain to a more than 20-year-old young woman... Unless, this person has extremely terrifying abilities, or has an extremely terrifying background... Of course, what is even scarier is that they have both.

"This is the captain of the Pioneer icebreaker, Ms. Zofia Soma." First Officer Caroline introduced Ke Lan.

Soma?Ke Lan quickly searched for this surname in his mind. The only person who could match the number was the "Soma Consortium", the behind-the-scenes controller of the leading companies in the airship manufacturing industry. In the words of the Ma Consortium, everything can be explained.

"Hello, Captain Soma."

"Actually, I don't like people calling me captain. You can call me Miss Soma, or... just call my name Zofiya."

Her voice is very nice, and she has an indescribable affinity, but the more so, the more cautious Ke Lan is in her heart... He knows in his heart that this woman is definitely not a vase. Almost every single character is a ruthless character.

Judging by appearances alone is really stupid.

Zofiya pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose and stood up from behind the desk - she was wearing a white navy uniform skirt, a white cloak in the style of a trench coat draped over her shoulders, and her long pale blond hair was high behind her head. Gao Di tied her hair into a bun, revealing a long neck, and a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses added a different charm to her.

"Okay, Miss Soma..." For some reason, Ke Lan felt that the oppressive aura common to high-ranking people on the other side was not obvious. Maybe it was because of gender, or maybe it was because of the other party's attitude. All in all, he The first impression of this Miss Soma was not bad.

She rested her hands on the table top of the desk, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and after scrutinizing Ke Lan for a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Your plan is very risky and crazy... But I have to say, in that case, , this is the only way to save the Pioneer."

There was no politeness or nonsense, and her second sentence cut directly into the theme. This unpretentious momentum was exactly the same as the previous decision.

Ke Lan was basically certain that the real decision maker on the Pioneer was this Captain Soma.

"The premise is that you trust me enough," Ke Lan said, "and there is no hesitation. In fact, I am also very curious, in that case, why did Miss Soma turn off the engine so decisively to stop the Pioneer. ?"

"If there is only a slight chance to survive in a desperate situation of death, even if it is extremely slim, would you give up?" She shrugged, "The Pioneer will not be delayed for long, and it will not wait for the rescue of the Ark, you The plan was our only hope at the time, although I didn't know what the plan was."

"I'm betting." Zofiya showed a smile that would enchant any man. "Fortunately, I won the bet."

"Actually, I'm betting too, but my bet is much smaller than yours." Ke Lan pulled the corner of his mouth involuntarily. A few million credit points are indeed less than one icebreaker and the lives of everyone on board. carry.

"Caroline should have told you that I came to you mainly to thank you for your assistance and for saving my life." Zofiya walked around to the desk, her height was almost the same as Ke Lan's , In the case of wearing high-heeled shoes, Ke Lan even had to raise her head slightly to align her gaze, "As a thank you, I can agree to one of your requests."

"Any requirements?" Ke Lan asked uncertainly.

"Any request. Of course, the premise is that it is within my ability." Zofiya nodded.

"Really?" Ke Lan couldn't help looking at the other party's slender legs wrapped in black stockings, swallowed, and asked with some difficulty.

"...Really." Feeling Ke Lan's gaze, Zofiya's expression became slightly stiff, she subconsciously took a half step back, and she couldn't help thinking of some strange things.

This guy... shouldn't make such excessive demands, right?

Shouldn't it?Shouldn't I put some restrictions on myself?No, no, if you say that, doesn't it seem that your thinking is too contrived?

But what if he really made that request?Do you want to promise him?
……

Not only Sophia, but even the expression on the face of First Mate Caroline on the side has become extremely strange. She has secretly decided that if the man in front of him dares to make those requests to the captain, he will be beaten directly, and afterwards. It's just interpreted as the power armor suddenly losing control...

"Any request..." Ke Lan's eyes first moved from Zofiya's legs to her waist, then to her chest, and finally, back to her face.

If she made that kind of request, she shouldn't refuse, right?
Does it seem like you're going too far?
No matter what, Ke Lan shook his heart and said directly:

"I want all records of the underwater city and the previous explorations around the ruins, including video files, survey data, analysis reports, and relics or samples fished out from the bottom of the sea, all of them-"
