Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 951 Simon
The former observer and current sniper Simon of the scouting team was left to stare at that thing. He looked at the barely humanoid monster in the scope, and felt the acid water in his stomach rushing down his throat. Chung everywhere.

It is difficult to describe this monster in words. Compared with it, even Ronnie, whose face is festered with flesh and blood, can be regarded as "clear and beautiful".

Judging from the clothing fragments left on the monster, it should have been a resident of the power plant "before it was alive".Now it is stumbling around, wandering around the public communication terminal, just like those NPC monsters guarding the mission target points in video games.

"Perhaps the employees of the power plant found that something was wrong and wanted to use the public communication terminal to report to the higher-ups, but just arrived here, the infection in the body suddenly broke out and turned into a monster?" Simon thought to himself, and tapped his right index finger Carefully rubbing the trigger guard of the semi-automatic sniper rifle.

The scout who rushed back to report the news came back soon. He ran to Simon, who was squatting behind a roadblock with a gun, patted the latter on the shoulder, and said, "The captain ordered that this monster be dealt with." Lose."

"Got it." Simon said blankly, took a deep breath, and moved his finger from the trigger guard to the trigger.

The shooting distance is 190 meters, and the moving speed of the target is very slow. In this case, Simon's technology can almost achieve a hundred shots.

"Puff puff."

The sound of the semi-automatic sniper rifle equipped with a muffler was very dull. Simon's first two shots directly hit the chest and abdomen of the humanoid monster. On a shot.

The "Mozambique shooting method" of two guns on the chest and one head is not only suitable for close-range combat with pistols. This operation can also be completed with high-precision sniper rifles, but it requires higher skills for the shooter—similarly, the target is also more lethal.

The scout nodded, picked up the short assault rifle in his arms and rushed up, shooting a series of three bursts of short bursts at the still humanoid creature.

"Replenish the gun." Simon said to his companion.

"No... what if these monsters can be controlled? What if the monster that was killed just now is just a bait used by the enemy to lure us into the encirclement? The number of samples is too small, and it is difficult for us to use the behavior of a few individuals to determine this This kind of monster makes a judgment...In short, I think it's better to be cautious."

"Could it be that the news was blocked by the authorities?" Simon thought about it and there was only one possibility. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then entered a string of URLs.

It's just that Simon didn't have the heart to worry about this kind of thing. He thought for a while and replied: "I am Simon Villiers, the observer of the Spear Squad and the Scout Team of the Mukahe Fortress. After losing contact, we observed that the Ark was attacked by unknown creatures. We are currently organizing support troops. We are the first batch of reconnaissance troops to return to the Ark. This black card was given to us by General Maginot. He asked us to contact you , follow all your instructions."

"Are you suspecting that there might be an ambush here?" asked the transport plane pilot—in this squad, apart from the squad leader who is the commander, the transport plane pilot has the highest military rank. According to the time regulations, he will automatically assume the position of vice-captain.

Simon took a deep breath, closed the web browser, turned on the video call, hesitated again and again, and entered a string of numbers.

If there are still survivors on the Ark, why do all Internet users seem to disappear out of thin air when the Internet can still be used normally... Where did they go?
Have they all turned into that kind of monster?

"Threat removed."

But Simon still got nothing.

"It's hard to say. If there are people who have turned into monsters hiding around the terrain in front of us, once we surround us, the situation will be very bad for us." The team leader said.

"Beep-beep-"

The soldiers of Group A and Group B also dispersed along both sides of the road, and quickly pulled up a "dynamic warning line".

All the portal websites on the Ark were last updated three days ago, and the time difference between each website’s downtime was no more than three hours. However, Simon was a little puzzled that none of the websites had updated the unknown creatures that attacked the Ark. According to reports, even those forums have no posts discussing these things.

"Power off?" Simon was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and glanced behind him. Through the light black frosted glass door, he could see that the outside of the public communication terminal was still lit, which meant that there was no problem with the power supply line. .

This short protruding magazine is filled with active ammunition - as mentioned earlier, the Mukakh base does not have active sniper ammunition in stock. In such a situation, it is undoubtedly the safest way to use active ammunition to refill the gun.

This is the mobile phone number of his own sister. Simon is not married yet and has no wife or children. His relatives on the ark are his parents and his sister who live with them. Their residence is located in West Seventh District, which is not considered a rich area but It's not too bad, if those monsters attacked from the outside in, Simon's family should have the opportunity to withdraw to the core area protected by heavy troops.

"Yes." The team leader nodded and began to assign tasks, "The scout team took three black cards to the public communication terminal, trying to get in touch with the 'big man' that General Maginot said. Group A and Group B respectively Guard the four intersections in the southeast and northwest, and set up a guard post every 20 meters to ensure that no moving things approach within 100 meters, and the rest stay where they are.”

"The Undead Crew? Zeus?" Simon couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the "big shot" in General Magino's mouth was not a member of the United Parliamentary Group, what kind of organization was this Undead Crew?
Zeus?That seems to be the name of a character in mythology, right?This is the other party's name?Or a code name?

Simon was not in a hurry to insert the black card into the card slot of the communication device. He swiped his personal ID first, and then opened the web browser.

The public communication terminal is actually an extra-large "telephone booth" with an octagonal overall shape consisting of eight separate compartments.The public communication terminal can not only carry out video communication, but also undertake the needs of virtual transactions and various civil affairs procedures. It is said that it is a communication terminal, but it is actually more like a multi-functional fully automatic "convenience center".

After confirming that the humanoid monster was completely dead, the whole team quickly approached from behind and arrived at the roadblock where Simon set up an observation position.

The public communication terminal in front of the team, perhaps for the convenience of transportation, was actually set up at a crossroads. The surrounding terrain was extremely open, and there were no bunkers or shelters at all.

"If you're cautious, divide your forces." The transport plane pilot said in a deep voice.

With a soft sound, the entire compartment went dark, and even the originally lit screen fell into pitch blackness.

"Captain, I think it originally wanted to use the public communication terminal to ask for help or report a message, but unfortunately, it mutated into a monster when it was the last few steps away from the target... It had been circling the public communication terminal before. The pavilion at the terminal is wandering, I guess it should be that the residual obsessions of 'lifetime' are still affecting its action logic to a certain extent."

The only disadvantage may be that it is inconvenient for people whose residence is far from the communication terminal, unlike a mobile phone, which can be used just out of the pocket.

The others stared nervously at the three scouts, not even daring to vent their breath—but the scenes often staged in horror movies did not appear, and the three scouts, including Simon, were not attacked in any way. Nothing unusual happened around them, the three of them arrived at the location of the public communication terminal so smoothly, and each found a compartment to get in.

"Is it the only one?" The team leader frowned, holding the binoculars tightly with both hands, "If it came to the public communication terminal to ask for help, what about the other people in the power plant? What about the half-armed security force? If They turned into monsters, so where did they go?"

Just when Simon was suspicious, a deep voice rang out in the compartment: "I am a member of the Undead Crew, Zeus, what do you want from me?"

The notification sound waiting to be answered was like drumsticks hitting Simon's heart one after another. Every time it sounded, he felt his body tremble a little... It's not that he didn't worry about his family, but he was here Before, he was forcing himself to forget about these things and concentrate on the task.But now, when he had the opportunity to verify the life and death of his family members, he felt a trace of fear in his heart.

"Om-"

When the notification sound reached the ninth beep, Simon finally couldn't help but hang up the video call, and then inserted the black card into the card slot at a very fast speed.

The latest post on this underground website is a question post about how to avoid high taxes and fees for certain controlled military-standard materials. The poster is an anonymous netizen, and the posting time is 37 hours ago, and the last reply to him is also a Anonymous netizen replied 37 hours ago. In the following 37 hours, Ark seemed to be completely disconnected from the Internet, and there was no new content on the Internet.

If they are surrounded at the public communication terminal, it will be difficult for them to build a simple defensive position.

On the Ark... Are there really any survivors?

"Could it be that there is a problem with the communication equipment?" Simon glanced at the card slot, the black card had been completely swallowed, and it couldn't be pulled out by conventional means, even the "Force Card Return" button It's stuck and I can't press it down at all.

"That monster should be an employee of the power plant. Look at the light gray uniform it is wearing." The pilot of the transport plane handed the binoculars in his hand to the team leader. "Except for it, there are indeed no traces of other creatures nearby."

The bottom of the public communication terminal is directly connected to the Ark's cable and optical fiber dual network, and it can still operate normally when the radio communication is interfered. It is the fastest and fastest among the various communication methods on the Ark. The most reliable one out there.

He was afraid of hearing the answer that he could not accept.

"Understood." Simon took the black card handed over by the team leader, stuffed it into the pocket of the tactical vest, hung the semi-automatic sniper rifle behind his back, pulled the slightly punched folding butt and put it in his arms, bowed his body and walked quickly towards The public communication terminal trotted over.

"That's not right... the Internet is not broken. If these websites can still be accessed, it means that their servers are still operating normally. How can there be no one to talk to?" Simon was full of doubts. He was originally He planned to collect some information through the Internet first, but the search results made him feel extremely uneasy.

"I think you should be worrying too much." The pilot of the transport plane said, "Judging from the behavior of the monster that was killed by the sniper just now, these guys should not have the ability to think and act entirely on instinct. The influence of some pre-life obsessions... ambushes us, I don't think this is very possible."

Assuming that the core area is heavily guarded and willing to open it to civilians.

Each compartment of the public communication terminal can only accommodate one person, and the doors and walls are made of transparent soundproof glass, so there is no possibility of monsters hiding inside.After getting into a compartment, Simon immediately turned on the power of the communication equipment and checked it quickly.

The communication equipment is in good condition, the power supply is normal, and the network has not experienced any failures.

"It can't be that there is something wrong with the black card the general gave us, right?"

Each of the other two scouts was also assigned a black card, and they set off one by one, keeping a distance of about 30 meters between each of them-they were so far apart to ensure that once the people in front were attacked, the people behind People have enough space and time to react.

It is an "underground website" in a gray area. The topics discussed on that website are all on the edge of legality and illegality. Many things that cannot be said in formal forums can be "speak freely" on this website... If the government blocks information on portal websites and formal forums, then some rumors can often be detected on such underground websites.

Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, Simon still used the honorific title.

"Mukah Base...Magino...Oh, I see, you are on standby, and I will send someone to join you immediately." The person who called himself Zeus said.

"Uh, may I ask, can you tell me what happened on the ark? Where did those monsters come from?"

"They'll tell you when you join my men."
