Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 953 Is it a trap?

After checking and making sure that there was nothing abnormal in the basement, the squad leader left a few soldiers to guard the first floor, and led the rest of them into the basement in a file.

To be precise, the part above the ground is a dispensable disguise, and the part underground is the real main body of the safe house.

There is no camouflage in the underground part, the iron-black metal walls are glowing with a cold light, but the floor is covered with a thick layer of silicone mat, which can prevent slipping and at the same time reduce the sound of footsteps to the greatest extent—even if someone is dancing in it , the neighbors around the safe house will never hear any abnormal noise.

On both sides at the end of the passage are weapon cabinets, in which various light weapons are hung. When the drawers at the bottom of the cabinet are opened, boxes of ammunition are neatly stacked, and some of them are even printed with The small refrigerated box with the biohazard label, the team members can know what is inside without opening it.

"Good guy, there is such a thing." Soap carefully took out a few things that looked similar to detonators from a cabinet, and through the tube wall made of high-strength transparent resin, one could see the inside of the tube. It is filled with something similar to clay, and on the surface and inside of the clay, there are nail-sized dark green crystals embedded in it.

The composite crystal energy bomb uses clay explosives as the fuze, and after multiple low-level energy crystals are detonated, they can produce extremely terrifying "resonance"... Just the few "plastic tubes" held in soap's hand, bundled together Enough to level the safehouse above ground level.

Of course, this thing is forbidden to be used on the ark. The equivalent of this thing has seriously exceeded the standard value set in the "Regulations on Prohibited Weapons Inside the Ark". No matter where it is used, it may bring serious damage to the internal structure of the ark. destroy.If these things are thrown into a certain reactor, it is enough to cause an unimaginable disaster... Generally speaking, this kind of thing should be stored in a special warehouse, heavily guarded, whether it is inspection, handling or Access must be signed and approved by multiple departments and leaders with different functions.And the people from the Security Bureau actually left them in this unattended safe house?

If this kind of thing happened in the army, there would be no need for those who did it to go to court-martial, they could just be shot on the spot.

"People from the Security Bureau... have so much power?" The team leader saw the crystal bomb in Soap's hand, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, "Be careful, are there crystal bombs in the cabinet? Take them all out."

The order record and post-purchase evaluation are all three days old. There is no obvious abnormality in the comments, price, or purchase volume. You can even place an order now, but the merchant may never ship it again.

At this time, a leader with sufficient power is usually required to make a decision and be responsible for this, and at the same time sign his name on the blanks of those missing audit departments.

"Can you find out the transfer records and reasons for this batch of crystal energy bombs?" the team leader asked.

"It's not Latin..." The transport plane pilot glanced at the signature, "It's Greek, and the name is pronounced 'Demeter', the goddess in charge of agriculture, grain and harvest in Greek mythology, and Olympus One of the twelve main gods of Sri Lanka."

"...So, what we are facing now should be a rudimentary meme, right? Otherwise, our team should have been wiped out." Soap took a breath and said.

"If this is the case, then this 'safe house' should be a trap." The team leader was quite calm. He walked to the table, picked up a piece of soap and put it on the crystal energy bomb on the table and looked at it carefully. , "If they want to use this trap to bury us, it doesn't have to be so troublesome at all. We just need to detonate these crystal energy bombs when we enter the safe house. We can't escape."

In order to ensure that it will not be invaded, the computers in the safe house need to be authenticated if they want to connect to the external network. Looking at the password box on the screen and the blinking cursor in the box, the transport plane driver couldn't help but feel a headache. He turned his head and looked at the others: "Among you...is there anyone who can hack technology? It should be the one that can crack the security system of the Security Bureau."

"Yes, things on the Internet are deleted so cleanly, it should be because of the fear that this kind of 'meme' will spread through the Internet." The transport plane pilot said, "There used to be a joke that the Internet can spread viruses that can infect the human body, I didn't expect this joke to become a reality."

"I have an idea, or rather, a guess, which may not be accurate, but I don't think it can be ruled out..." the transport plane pilot said word by word.

"There are many kinds of memes, and visual contagion is just one of them... According to the information at that time, the time of meme contagion that broke out in the research institute was only a rudimentary meme, and the most advanced meme can achieve cognitive transmission , In other words, when you know this thing exists, you have already been infected."

After nearly half a minute, Soap was the first to break the silence: "You mean, that kind of thing, it is possible... to be infected after just looking at it? Even through photos and videos, you can see 'memes' ', will also be infected by it?!"

"So, the call between me and 'Zeus' has also been monitored by them?! Then the location of this safe house has also been exposed?!" Simon opened his eyes wide and subconsciously put his hands on the It was on the micro punch hanging on the chest.

"Then why did we see those monsters and not be infected?" the giraffe asked.

"One more thing, I didn't have time to say it just now." Simon said, "Before I contacted that Zeus, I used a public communication terminal to log in to the major portals of the Ark. I originally wanted to find out in the media news. Some clues, but I found that all websites stopped updating three days ago, and I didn't find any clues related to those invading creatures... And the strangest thing is that the network inside the ark has always been in a normal state, The servers of those websites are still running, anyone with a mobile phone can post online, even if the topic is forbidden to discuss, it shouldn't mean that the entire Internet has become a 'no man's land' in an instant!"

The Security Bureau and the military have never been very confrontational. If the military had such authority, it would be impossible for the Security Bureau to protest with the military chamber. Instead, it would become a "formally independent, In reality, it has become an institution under the jurisdiction of the military.

The biggest difference between crystal energy bombs and ordinary explosives lies in "resonance". The more crystal energy bombs are detonated at the same time, the explosive power will increase exponentially. Seventeen crystal energy bombs, even the Mukakh Fortress, may not I can get it out.

"It seems that the authority of this black card is really not ordinary." Simon sighed, "I don't know where General Maginot got this thing. With this thing, even the internal network of the Security Bureau can be browsed at will. gone."

"It makes sense." The pilot of the transport plane nodded and entered the URLs of several shopping websites, but the results were disappointing.

The password verification interface disappeared in an instant, not only that, but all the permissions of this computer have been fully opened - like a woman who was tightly wrapped up one second, and stripped naked the next second... even holding a knife Cut open your own chest and abdominal cavity, showing all the internal organs in front of you.

"Demeter is the wife of Zeus," said the transport plane pilot, "one of them."

"By the way, hurry up and check the Ark's shopping website to see the purchase records and prices of the materials." Soap imagined as if remembering something, and suddenly said to the transport pilot, "Prices are the most sensitive things, if three days If any major accident happened on the front ark, the price of those materials would definitely change. Especially in the early stage, before those invasive creatures have occupied most of the ark.”

The pilot of the transport plane sitting in front of the computer shook his head solemnly: "All the records and information updates on the internal network of the Security Bureau are all three days ago, at the same time."

"Is this place really a safe house for DAS?" a relic hunter muttered, "Is this some kind of secret weaponry?"

"Let's just talk about it." The squad leader also nodded to the transport plane pilot.

"Demeter? Is there such a person in the United Parliamentary Group?" Soap tried to recall, but at this time he realized that he knew too little about Ark's current affairs, and even the name of the current member was Not a few will come out.

"From this point of view, these invading creatures may have invaded the interior of the ark in such a short period of time that people were killed almost without responding...or mutated into that type of monster..." the team leader said Said to himself.

"What's written on it?" The giraffe stretched its neck and approached, impatiently asking.

"He just went upstairs with the group B to find a sniper spot." Simon responded.

"No, as long as there are survivors, there will always be..." The pilot of the transport plane suddenly turned pale when he said this. He turned his head to look at Simon, took several deep breaths, and then continued—

"Damn it! How the hell did this happen?" Soap couldn't help but swear, "I can understand that ordinary people are blocked from news. If people from the Security Bureau can't even intervene, who will be sent to solve the problem? Ark They have been invaded by those monsters to such an extent, and there is no record in the internal network and archives of the Security Bureau, which is unreasonable at all!"

"Try this." Simon walked up and took out the black card. "I noticed that there is a card slot on the side of this computer, maybe it can be used."

"No, there's a worse possibility... It's not 'Zeus' that's talking to you, but them." The transport pilot's words were not surprising, and his words immediately made the internal atmosphere tense. , Many people directly picked up their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

"What the hell is a meme? It's time to tell us, right?" Soap asked, "By the way, where's the clown?"

"Is it possible that those intruders have already controlled the network on the Ark, and the things Simon saw were the 'illusions' forged by them..."

"Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you..." The team leader sighed, and told everyone the information related to the "meme", although the sum of the information is only a few sentences , but after listening, everyone in the team fell into silence.

"Wait a minute, there is a note under the crystal energy bomb." Soap once again reached into the cabinet and pulled out the note.

"There are still twelve." Soap said, "Counting the five here, there are seventeen in total... If these seventeen are detonated at the same time... Tsk..."

"No." The pilot of the transport plane shook his head, "There is no congressman named Demeter in the joint parliamentary group."

"It is precisely because of this reason that I feel that we still have a glimmer of hope." The pilot of the transport plane walked to a computer quickly as if remembering something, and turned on the power.

"Good guy, so this Demeter must have something to do with that big man named 'Zeus'?" Soap said, "It seems that it is not surprising that she can use the crystal bomb with her authority. gone."

"Even that clown knows what a meme is. I think it's okay to let us know?" said the giraffe. "The ark has fallen, and human beings are going extinct. So what's the point of the non-disclosure agreement?"

"Don't be so secretive, just speak directly." The giraffe urged.

"The key point is not the authority, but the time." The transport plane pilot said, "Three days ago, when the communication between the Mukahe base and the Ark was interrupted..."

"You can only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor." The pilot of the transport plane nodded and inserted the black card into the slot.

"Well, it's a transfer note for confidential items... It's strange, these crystal bombs were sent here three days ago." Soap handed the note to the team leader, "But the procedures on it are not complete. , The official seals of various departments and the personal seals of the leaders are missing a large part. In addition, this black signature that occupies several grids seems to be in Latin? Anyway, I don’t know it...do you know it?”

"No..." The team leader slowly shook his head as if remembering something, "If, as the 'clown' said, the transmission route of mutation is 'meme', the high-level executives of Ark will send the network All information on the Internet is blocked, perhaps as a protection for survivors."

"Wait." Simon suddenly said, "Demeter is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greek mythology, so Zeus should also be... this Demeter, she is the same as Zeus in mythology what relationship?"

Before becoming a mercenary, Soap was also a soldier in the Field Corps, so he was familiar with these cumbersome procedures. As far as he knew, when the battle situation was intense, some equipment could be specially ordered through the "Emergency Response Procedure". For deployment, in this case, there is no need to go through all the original processes, in order to save time and prevent a department from losing contact, resulting in urgently needed materials getting stuck in one of the transshipment links.

All merchant accounts, including the customer service of shopping websites, were last logged in three days ago.

What happened on the ark?Are there really any survivors?

And who is the "Zeus" they contacted through the black card?
