Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 943
"Speaking of which, why are you so tightly wrapped, aren't you panicking?" Another mercenary asked.

The area where the Mukakh Fortress is located is adjacent to the Molten Mine Area, which can be regarded as the place with the warmest average temperature on Planet Alpha.

"Albinism, have you heard of it?" The intelligence dealer rolled up his cuffs, revealing a sickly white wrist, "For people like me, not only can't the skin be exposed to the sun, but the eyes can even go blind if they look directly at the sun... Not even sunlight filtered through clouds of radiation."

"Hasn't this disease been overcome long ago? Through genetic adjustment technology?" The mercenary obviously knew about this disease and asked.

"Human genes are constantly changing, so there is no disease that can be completely overcome." The intelligence dealer said in an understated tone, "And, do you think I am the kind of person who has the money to do gene adjustment surgery?" ?"

"Not like." The mercenary shook his head, "Then you are really miserable."

"Get used to it, it's good." The intelligence dealer said, pulling the scarf up a little more.

"Uh... that's right." The mercenary froze for a moment, then nodded.Compared with the previous doubts and threats in the Trigger Bar, after the information provided by this person was confirmed, his attitude changed 180 degrees.

Regardless of whether the other party relied on his own reasoning ability or obtained the information through other channels, it means that this is a person who is worth making friends with and has "capability"... What's more, the other party can also get the "black card" , and they can reach the Stone Forest Base one step ahead of them. This alone can explain many problems.

This intelligence dealer with albinism might have something to do with General Maginot!
"By the way, what's your name brother?" The mercenary approached, "Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself first, my name is Soap, his name is Giraffe, and the two of us have been in Mukahe for almost half a year. Yes, it can be regarded as a little famous. When the heretic sect attacked the Mukahe base last time, we also participated in the base defense battle, and repelled several waves of attacks together with those soldiers."

Since the other party may be a member of General Maginot, if you want to get close, you must describe yourself as "great and upright"—after spending so long on the road, Soap has already become very smooth, "I saw someone said People talk, hell talk nonsense" This set is even more familiar.

If the other party is a free mercenary, then his words will become complaints and complaints about the difficulty of the task, and by the way, he will test whether he can win over the other party and tie the other party to the "same boat".On the contrary, you must show that you are loyal to the Ark and to human beings, and you must not make the other party suspicious—maybe this guy is the pawn that General Maginot put in the team to monitor them mercenaries.

60 has already been obtained, if possible, now Soap and Giraffe want to spend all the money in the store at the Mukakh Base, and then run away...Of course, it is just thinking about it.

"Clown, you can call me a clown." The intelligence dealer said.

"Uh..." Mercenaries, unless they are very close comrades-in-arms, usually use code names to match each other. Even "John" and "Jack" that look like names are basically pseudonyms. This is understandable... But when normal people call themselves nicknames, they still use some "normal" words... The word clown sounds like a very distorted psychological hint.

"Is this a nickname someone gave you?" The giraffe couldn't help asking, "I really haven't heard anyone call themselves a clown... Ah, brother, I don't mean to laugh at you, I just feel a little puzzled ..."

Calling yourself a nickname is certainly not an insulting word, not to mention that there are many not-so-good meanings for the word "clown" on the Internet. It may be okay to use it occasionally to laugh at yourself, but to get it you have to be called often The code name, this is somewhat...

Even if it is "Old Dog", his code name is not "Dog" but "Hound Dog". If someone who is not familiar with him dares to call him "Old Dog", it would be considered light to be scolded by him.

"My clown is taken from the big and small king in the playing cards, Joker." "The clown" explained.

"Oh...so that's what it meant. When you said that, I suddenly felt that this nickname became domineering, hehe." Soap calmly bumped his elbow to the giraffe who said the wrong thing, and apologized with a somewhat embarrassing smile. .

"The plane took off." The clown said, and in the next second, a shock came from under their buttocks. The "Amran-class" transport plane rose vertically from the ground to the air, and climbed to an altitude of 2000 meters in a short while.

The "clown" pulled his scarf again, covering the small piece of exposed skin above the bridge of his nose.

But what Soap and the giraffe didn't realize was that it was about to fall into the night at this point in time, and the hemisphere of Star Alpha would be completely shrouded in darkness, and there would be no sunlight shining down through the radiation clouds, causing any harm to the "Joker".

The "clown" lowered his head and glanced at the dial on the inside of his wrist. Below the grid showing the time, there was a customizable countdown timer. The number of the countdown jumped from ten hours to nine hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

An imperceptible sadness flashed in the eyes of the "clown", but he was wearing dark sunglasses, and even the soap sitting opposite him could not see the change in his eyes at all.

There are many more dangerous factors in flying at night than in daytime, but they are also more hidden...Compared with being discovered by the enemy who attacked the ark, these dangerous factors become insignificant.

The pilot of the transport plane is a veteran. At this height and speed, the cabin of the transport plane is as stable as the first-class cabin of a passenger plane. On the armrest of the seat, none of the liquid inside dangled out.

"I knew I should have a good sleep in the morning... Ah..." The yawning giraffe stretched and complained, "From midnight the day before yesterday, until now, my total sleep time is less than four hours , don’t fight before the time comes, and end up dying suddenly.”

"Would you like one?" The leader of the "Spear" team sitting closest to the hatch took out two syringes from his pocket and shook them in the direction of the giraffe.

"Good guy, the military stimulant is a special model for special forces. This is a good thing!" The giraffe said in surprise, and immediately stretched out his hand with a shy face, but the other party took the syringe back.

"When you were asked to choose equipment, these medicines were also included. Didn't you take them yourself?" asked the captain of the spear team.

"I took it...but I'm not willing to use it." The giraffe muttered.

"This thing is not for you to use now. The side effects after the medicine is effective are enough to make people collapse...or even shock." The captain of the spear team suddenly became serious, "If you feel sleepy now, you can wait until you reach the mission There is also a chance to catch up on sleep on the plane before the flight.”

"I know, I know, I was also a soldier, maybe I joined the army earlier than you." The giraffe flattened his mouth and said, "I'm just complaining, why do you take it seriously."

"I don't like joking with people, especially when I'm on a mission." The captain of the spear team said coldly, not only him, but also the eyes of the other soldiers of the spear team were looking at the giraffe and the group of mercenaries. Sometimes, there is also a trace of disgust.

"Who are you showing your ugly face to?" the giraffe said inwardly, then turned its head and looked out of the window—they are now in the sky above the "Zhounan Corridor". In a narrow strip, one side is an abandoned mine vein full of high concentrations of radiation, and the other side is a dangerous swamp inhabited by a large number of indigenous creatures. This relatively "safer" corridor is less than one kilometer wide. The convoys traveling to and from the Ark will choose to take the flat western plains instead of this narrow corridor that looks unnerving.

Bypassing the Zhounan Corridor, the Ark shrouded in night appeared in everyone's field of vision. Everyone in the team that was still doing their own work turned around in unison, lay down on the porthole, and looked in the direction of the Ark. past.

In the darkness, one can only vaguely see a silhouette. Because the distance is too far, nothing unusual can be seen from the silhouette... But the lights of the superstructure of the ark, which are like stars, have all been extinguished at this time. The airport light beacons used to guide aircraft and warships are even missing.

The silhouette of the dark giant in the distance was wrapped in an inexplicable sense of death, like a corpse of a giant beast dormant in the shadows, and it was also a corpse of a giant beast that would turn into a zombie at any time and rush towards them.

Soap felt that his heartbeat was obviously faster, and his breathing was also a lot faster. He pressed his hands on his chest and kept taking deep breaths—at the moment of the war, it is most important to adjust his state, not only for him, but also for other people in the team. are doing similar things.

Although they have seen the captured ark more clearly during the day from the photos taken by drones, when the ark really appeared in front of their eyes, the picture that seemed like a fantasy became directly visible. In fact, the impact cannot be described in words.

For a moment, Soap really wanted to grab the joystick from the pilot's hand and turn the plane's flight direction around.

The Amran-class transport plane did not turn on any lights, not even the navigation lights to ensure safety, all the lighting equipment in the cabin, even the liquid crystal display of the altimeter were turned off, all radio channels remained silent, and the cockpit The screen also only lights up the bare minimum of the operating panel.

Even the crystallization engine was turned off by the pilot, the propellers on both sides of the wings were flattened, and the entire transport plane was changed to gliding mode, gliding in the night sky like a silent ghost, gradually approaching the corpse of the "huge monster" ".

Everyone in the cabin couldn't help holding their breath—according to the plan, the plane would fly around the ark for a quarter of a circle in a gliding state, and then use anti-gravity at a position three kilometers away from the ark after collecting enough data The device hovered briefly at low altitude, and the members of the second team relied on the downhill cable to descend to the ground and walked the last three kilometers on their feet.

The first stage of the gliding flight went extremely smoothly. Both the infrared camera and the low-light camera took a lot of photos. Soap took out the telescope from the equipment warehouse of the Mukakh base and turned on the infrared mode—— The ark in the thermal infrared mode showed a deep blue-green overall... Although it was the first time for Soap to observe the ark in the air with a thermal infrared imager, he knew it.Under normal circumstances, due to the large number of heat-dissipating devices on the ark, the hull should be orange-red, at least higher than the temperature of the surrounding environment, but now the entire ark is almost the same as the surrounding environment in the thermal infrared image. The environment is integrated into one body, only those tumor-like growths on the surface keep the heat, looking from a distance, they look like dense red and yellow spots.

"This creepy-like creature seems to be a temperature-changing animal?" Soap murmured, "In the thermal infrared image, they are almost invisible."

"It's not yet determined whether it's animals," the giraffe continued, "but the monsters hatched in those tumors are not easy to mess with at first sight... I'm afraid the number must be 10,000+? I don't know if General Maginot can How many troops can be assembled..."

"The first stage of reconnaissance has been completed." The captain of the spear team interrupted the conversation between the two, "Everyone, prepare for the rope drop."

[PS The "soap" here is not the "soap" (John McTavish) of Task Force 141 in Call of Duty, but the book friend who often rewards me "Soap is useful", another The second place is "The Reading Giraffe". These two buddies have been with me since my first book until now, and they have never been assigned any roles. It just so happened that there was a vacancy for the name of the character this time, so I used it directly.

In addition, I just learned today that the genuine audiobook of "Alien Ruins Hunter" jointly produced by China Literature and Himalaya has been put on the shelves. I haven't received any news before. I checked the time and it seems that the update started in November. The current progress is Chapter 11.I went to listen to it. The broadcasting studio responsible for my book is still very professional. The script has undergone a certain degree of colloquial changes to optimize the listening experience while keeping the original content unchanged. In addition There are also various special effects sound dubbing, even the sound of boots stepping on the metal floor, breathing sound and heartbeat sound when Ke Lan entered the cargo hold to get the protective clothing in Chapter 122, which can be said to be very good.

Those book friends who feel that reading text is too tiring can try audiobooks, which is also a good reading experience. 】
