Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 631 The identity of the intelligence trafficker

Caught off guard, the "cyan fortress" failed to dodge this swift and precise attack, and the energy shield that was hastily opened was instantly penetrated, and the entire battleship disintegrated in the air, and the disintegrated hull fragments contained thick Smoke and explosions fell from the sky like a rain of fire.

Fortunately, the headquarters on the "Blue Fortress" has been transferred ahead of time. This flagship is actually just an "empty shell" with a false name.

……

After Ke Lan learned the news, his first reaction was—"The goal of the super-giant Seed of Corrosion is to drive those troops who are on standby into the ruins!"

In other words, the ruins of the Bronze City were a trap specially set for them... It was almost a certainty.

"However, if the heretic sect wants to let these troops enter the ruins, they don't need to deploy this seed of erosion on the frontal battlefield from the beginning?" Layton wondered, "Isn't this approach superfluous? What if the field army didn't Choose a roundabout, but retreat?"

"Perhaps for them, there is no option of 'retreat'." 33 said, "I think the biggest doubt about this matter is...why the undead crew you mentioned would launch this war so eagerly. "

"Can I communicate directly with the members of the Undead Crew Club?" Ivan looked at Ke Lan with a questioning look.

"Let me try."

Ke Lan took out his mobile phone, but at this time, there was no signal in the signal bar next to the battery icon in the upper right corner of the screen, only a few lines of small words that kept flashing: "This machine is currently no longer in the service area."

"Layton, help me connect my mobile phone to the command network for this operation." Ke Lan said.

"Wait a minute." Layton said and started to get busy at hand. In less than a minute, a simple signal transceiver composed of several metal antennas and a chip appeared in his hand.

This thing is equivalent to a wireless router, which can connect to standard communication equipment within a range of ten meters, which also saves Ke Lan the trouble of going to the cockpit of the mech to make a phone call.

Ke Lan's mobile phone was connected to the military network of this combat operation. The mine base and the communication tower built in the White Ridge Mountains were used as relay base stations to directly connect to the Ark's public communication network.

Ke Lan originally wanted to call Pan directly to find out, but when he saw that the intelligence dealer with the ID ACMS_0420 on his social software happened to be online, he suddenly had a weird idea in his heart.

As if by accident, Ke Lan edited a message and sent it to the intelligence dealer.

"Do you know the news that the Field Corps and the three major fleets of the Air Force are besieging the ruins of the Bronze City?"

"I know." Almost at the same time that Ke Lan pressed the send button, the other party gave a reply... Considering the delay in the network signal transmission process, Ke Lan even suspected that the time when the other party sent this answer would have to be before his own. before the question.

This guy, it feels like a ghost lurking on the Internet.

This time the information dealer's answer was very short, without delay or adding any emoticons, and he didn't miss his previous style at all.

Could it be that this guy was taken away by someone?Ke Lan complained like this in her heart, and then edited a message and sent it over.

"Do you know why the people above are so eager to attack?"

"I know." It was still a second reply.

"What's the price of this information?" Ke Lan asked habitually. Although he knew little about the information of this information dealer, he was still clear about the characteristic of "no profit can't afford early". I laughed at myself that I have no special hobbies, except money.

"It's free this time." Ke Lan was a little surprised by the intelligence dealer's answer. "The reason why the undead crew rushed to attack is because this is the decisive battle—the decisive battle between the Ark and the heretic sect. I can tell you clearly, The real body of the prophet is within the ruins of the ancient bronze city."

Seeing these lines of words appearing on the screen, Ke Lan couldn't help but suffocate. The next second, his fingers quickly typed on the virtual keyboard:
"Where did you get this information?"

Ke Lan was not too surprised when the intelligence dealer mentioned the Undead Crew Association—although the existence of the Undead Crew Association is the highest-level secret of the Ark, compared with the information this guy can get , on the contrary, it seems a little commonplace.

"Have you forgotten the rules? When you buy information from me, you are not allowed to inquire about the source—even if it is free information."

"Okay." Ke Lan thought for a while, and changed the way of asking.

"Are you a member of the Undead Crew?"

This time, the other party didn't reply in seconds, and Ke Lan waited for a full minute before getting an ambiguous answer.

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no."

"Can the Riddler climb for you?"

"I don't want to be a riddler either, but the truth is... If you must have an accurate answer, then just treat it as me." The intelligence dealer replied.

What does it mean to pretend that you are... Ke Lan frowned, and subconsciously asked an unnutritious question: "Why didn't you say it?"

It wasn't until he sent this message that he realized that he seemed to be asking nonsense.

"Because you never asked." The other party's answer was as nutritious as Ke Lan's question.

"Then which member are you? What's your code name?"

"I don't have a seat or a code name. If you have to think that a person with a serial number is a member of the Undead Crew, then under this premise, I am not a member of the Undead Crew."

"Then under what premise do you count as a member of the crew?"

"Calculated according to authority." The other party replied, "For example, regarding the delivery of the living armor to you, those guys with names have the right to vote, and I also have my vote. Of course, in most cases, I will choose to abstain from similar votes... I prefer to be an observer rather than a participant in events."

"Do the other members of the Undead Crew Club know of your existence?"

"Some know, some don't." Another ambiguous answer, "You should know that members of the Undead Crew Club don't have the same information resources... Just like ordinary people, everyone has My own little secret, and I exist in the 'secret' of some of them."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now that you said it, this is a decisive battle between the heretic sect and the Ark, but now the other party has clearly put the main force of the Ark into the ruins... This is no longer a conspiracy , It's a blatant conspiracy... You almost have the five characters 'here is a trap' written on your face, don't you plan to suspend combat operations?"

"How to stop, let the troops withdraw from the ruins, and then face the monster guarding outside?"

"Can't you let the empty ship transport people out?"

"With the capacity of the combat fleet, it will take at least four days to transport these hundreds of thousands of people out. Do you think it is too late?" ACMS_0420 asked rhetorically.

"Then you just watch these hundreds of thousands of people being buried in the ruins?" If this was a face-to-face conversation, Ke Lan even wanted to grab the other party's collar and question him, "This is all the people in the Field Corps can do." The main force mobilized is a group of fighters with the most combat experience among human beings, if they all die here... Who else will be able to contend with the heretic sect's monster army in the future?"

"But as long as the heretical sect can be eradicated in one go, then their sacrifices are totally worth it." The intelligence dealer replied, "Have you ever heard of an idiom called 'follow the plan'."

"Did you know the plan of the heretic sect?"

"I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely not allow this battle plan to be implemented. But since the matter is irreversible, it can only be seen."

"How do you see and break the trick?"

"Strike the control core of the Bronze City ruins and occupy the central tower——since the heretic sect has set the Bronze City ruins as a trap, the trap must be inseparable from the ruins themselves if they want to take effect. If you can successfully capture the ruins control, all problems will naturally be solved.”

"us?"

"Yes, you." The intelligence dealer sent a smirk, "As a special operations team, this is your first priority. As for the hundreds of thousands of troops, they are just to attract firepower for you. "

"The last question, what's your relationship with Pan?" Ke Lan asked. He always felt that this information dealer was on par with Pan in terms of playing cheap... If he hadn't said that he had no seat and code name, Ke Lan would have I thought it was one of Pan's vests.

"Pan knows my existence, he likes to imitate my style of speaking and acting, that's all." The other party said.

"So, your qualifications are older than Pan?" The seniority Ke Lan mentioned here does not refer to the ranking of the seats in the Undead Crew Club, but the time when he joined the Undead Crew Club - he has already You know, the number of the seat is actually not very meaningful, otherwise, the "Pope" of Chiron's fifth seat would not be his turn to inherit.

"Let's just join two 300 years earlier than him." The intelligence dealer said lightly.

"How much information can you tell me about the Undead Crew Club?"

"This part of the information is not for sale and needs to be unlocked by completing various tasks, and the unlocked information will vary depending on the degree of completion of the task." The intelligence dealer said.

"Why don't you play the main RPG story here?"

"I don't mind how you interpret it. But your main task right now is to take down the tower located in the middle of the ruins of the ancient bronze city - I can basically confirm that the real body of the prophet is hiding on this tower .”

"How did you know for sure?"

"Because he wants to completely control the ruins of an Alpha civilization, only his real body can do it... Just like Yagunaktor, he once tried to use a substitute to activate the console, but ultimately failed."

"So, I am the only one who can seize control of the ruins from the Prophet, right?" Ke Lan quickly saw another meaning hidden between the lines in the other party's words.

"Yes, so your team is the key to this battle. And the hundreds of thousands of troops above are just a foil."

……

"What's the matter, Ke Lan?" Layton poked his head out from the cockpit, "You didn't call the members of the Undead Crew Club? Instead, you used social software to chat with people? Uh, you need to know that you use a military network To log into civilian social software ... It is illegal, if found out, they may immediately cut off our network."

"I'm communicating with a guy who claims to be a member of the Undead Crew Club," Ke Lan said.

"'Professing to be'? So is he real or fake?"

"I can't be sure...but judging from the information he provided me, his identity is very likely to be true." Ke Lan said, "I have made many 'deals' with him, and in his absence Before revealing his identity to me, I always felt that there were many unexplainable doubts about him. But if he is really a member of the Undead Crew, then these doubts can be explained."

"But if he is an enemy, it would be terrible." 33 added.

"Then what should we do now? Withdraw from the war zone?" Layton asked again, "We have to hurry up and make a decision...I always feel that if we run late, we might not be able to escape."

"No, we can't withdraw." Ke Lan looked up at the blasphemer mecha, "Valentina, you should maximize the engine power of the mecha, we must enter the core control of the ancient bronze city ruins as quickly as possible Area."

"No way?" Hearing what Ke Lan said, Layton was stunned for a moment, "We all know that the Bronze City ruins are a trap, so why jump into it?"

"Mr. Ghost Owl's previous analogy is correct. The Bronze City can indeed be regarded as a large formation, a large formation that can kill people... But the more complicated this kind of formation is, the less likely it is to be perfect. As long as you can find the center of the formation , it can be cracked... and the eyes of the ancient bronze city ruins are on the central tower of the core control area." Ke Lan said, "If we retreat now, then the hundreds of thousands of field troops who entered the ruins will be able to It’s really a waste of money, with the loss of so much vitality, the strength gap between Ark and the heretic sect will only become more and more obvious.”

"Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs." Ivan said softly.

"The core control area that can't be captured by more than a hundred thousand people, can we capture it with a few more people?" Layton said with a bitter face, "I admit that in this team, except for me, you are all good people. One is stronger than the other, but no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit... Can we accomplish what hundreds of thousands of people cannot accomplish?"

"What we need is not power, but the key." Ke Lan looked around the team, paused, and then said in a deep voice, "I am the key."
