Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 966 The Enemy From Within

"Joining you said, what exactly are you adding, please tell me clearly. Also, why do you believe so much that we have not rebelled?" The hound read a hint of something wrong from Maginot's tone, and asked .

"Huh?" Magino also reacted at this time. The person on the other end of the communication seems to be unaware of the current situation of Ark.

"You... still don't know what happened on the ark?" Maginot asked tentatively.

"I only know that the communication between the fortresses, bases, transfer stations and the ark of Alpha Planet has been cut off. As for what happened on the ark, we don't know anything." General Chino, you should know some very important information, right?"

"Is it Ke Lan..." Machino took a deep breath, "It would be great if you were here... The undead crew would announce that you were missing before, I thought you had been secretly dealt with by 'someone' Lost."

"Why do you say that? What do you mean it would be great if I'm here?" Ke Lan asked puzzled.

Although he was already mentally prepared, he vaguely felt that the information Maginot had was worse than the worst they had expected.

Otherwise, why did the appearance of their group of "rebels" cause Machino to have such mixed emotions of excitement and joy... as if he was looking forward to some great savior.

"Over there at the Ark... It's hard for me to say a few words clearly. Since you can hack into my command channel, you should also be able to browse the database of Mukakh Fortress? The highest encryption level created three days ago folder with hundreds of drone photos in it, and you’ll know it after you’ve seen those photos.”

……

When Ke Lan clicked on the first photo in the encrypted folder, the hound couldn't help but yelled "Damn it!" Even Major General Alexander couldn't control his expression, his eyes stared like It's like sticking out.

"This photo...is it real?" Major General Alexander's voice trembled, "The Ark...how did the Ark become like this?"

"I don't know either." General Magino's mood has already calmed down, but when he thinks of the picture in the photo, his heart rate still can't help but soar a bit, "This is taken by multiple military drones At present, I have sent special forces to the Ark for reconnaissance, and at the same time, I am also contacting various other military bases...to prepare..."

After saying the word preparation, Magino was silent for several seconds before continuing: "Prepare for the operation to recapture the Ark."

He is very clear that the success rate of this combat operation is very low-the Ark is the greatest support of human civilization, and it is the central point where technology, resources and military power are most concentrated. The guard fleet was completely wiped out... Just because they don't even have battleships and aircraft carriers, it is self-evident to take back the Ark.

But this is the only thing they can do when they are facing desperation.

Just like Alpha Civilization's "God-Building Project" with no hope at all, at least General Maginot's plan is still feasible.

Ke Lan suddenly understood why General Magino's tone became so surprised after hearing their voices—if there is anything or power in human hands that can compete with Ark, it is probably only "Aguna Thor" is a super warship that has been classified as a "rebel".

With the participation of Yagunaktor, Ke Lan and others, this plan to recapture the ark seems to have a glimmer of hope of success.

"Are there any survivors on the ark?" Ke Lan asked.

"Not sure." Machino sighed, "Besides these photos, we don't have any more information... I have sent several batches of reconnaissance troops, but none of them have returned any news, including the one sent recently. Including a small team composed of elite mercenaries and special forces, there are always more than 140 people in total, and there is no news at all."

"Can't the drone get closer to take pictures? Or, fly directly into the inside of the ark?" Hound asked.

"No, there is extremely strong signal interference inside the ark, and the drone will lose control when it approaches... Moreover, the most terrible thing is those fleshy creepers... They can grow into a kind of air defense equipment like a ballista. As long as man and machine enter the attack range of these air defense equipment, they will be shot down."

"This thing has anti-aircraft capabilities?" The hound looked at the fleshy creepers taken from different angles in the photos, and his lips tightened. "Don't tell me that the Garrison Fleet was completely wiped out by this thing..."

"I don't know... According to the feedback from other drones, the lethality of these air defense equipment is enough to shoot down a heavy fighter with conventional armor, but this kind of firepower does not pose a threat to warships. As for how the garrison fleet was eliminated Yes, we don't know anything." Machino sighed, "I don't know much more than you do, except for these photographs."

"Then how did you know we're 'betrayed'?" Ke Lan changed the subject and asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic.

"Eh? This... This is an announcement on all channels, and almost all the fortress bases have received it. The announcement also said that if you find rebels, you need to report to Ark as soon as possible... But it wasn't long after this announcement was issued. , The communication between us and Ark was completely cut off, and we never connected again.”

General Maginot paused for a moment, and continued: "According to the analysis of my staff group, there is a high probability that the Ark was attacked by these unknown creatures at that time, so... oh yes, I have a guess, I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

"You just said it directly, what are you doing hiding at this time?" the hound said impatiently.

"I think that at that time, the undead crew members might have noticed some abnormalities, and these abnormalities were probably caused by such unknown creatures, and their judgments were biased, or they were misled, and attributed these abnormalities to yours. Head, so it is determined that Yagunaktor is trying to rebel... In this way, everything can be explained."

"Although it's a bit far-fetched, at least the logic is self-consistent." The hound commented, "Unfortunately, it's completely wrong."

"Completely wrong? Difficult, do you have other information?" Magino asked in surprise.

"Some things are inconvenient to say here. Since we can hack into your encrypted channel, other people can too. I think it's better to have an interview. I don't know if it's convenient for General Maginot." Ke Lan said.

"Ah... I'm sorry, sorry, I was so shocked by your appearance that I forgot to greet you... It's convenient, of course it's convenient, I'll let someone prepare the place!"

"You just need to tell your people not to fire while we're landing, those drones and anti-aircraft guns are still locking on to us... Of course, it's okay to fire, these little toys are not a threat to us at all... ...But if you accidentally hurt some flowers and plants, that would be bad." The hound seemed to have had some feuds with Maginot, and every time he seized the opportunity, he would have a bad temper.

Not long after the hound finished speaking, the lock-on warnings of the drones and anti-aircraft weapons disappeared, and the soldiers in the base below also started to move. After a while, they cleared out a piece that was enough for the "Owl" Landing clearing.

As soon as the engine of the "Owl" was turned off, a slender and beautiful secretary came out from a secret exit of the bunker, and behind her was Maginot, who was more than four times the width of the female secretary. the general himself.

"This guy is quite enjoyable." The hound glanced at the beautiful female secretary, "This guy is out of shape, I don't know if he will be crushed to death by this fat pig..."

"There was no sex between them," Zelo said suddenly.

"Ah? How do you know?" The hound froze for a moment and asked.

"I can feel that... if two people have had sex recently, they will be infected with each other's breath, which cannot be removed by cleaning methods."

"Can this also be perceived?" The corner of the hound's mouth twitched a few times, "Then when I pulled some buddies in the group to soak their feet..."

"When you came back the next day, I could sense four kinds of things in you..."

"Stop, little aunt, don't say it, don't say it." The hound waved his hands again and again, "But then again, this ability is very useful for checking whether your partner is cheating, eh, Ke Lan, you kid shouldn't have it. Are you messing around outside behind Miss Soma's back?"

"Old dog, I think you are very nervous now." Ke Lan said calmly.

"Why? Where did you see that? Why didn't I know?"

"You are a bit like me. When I feel nervous, I like to talk nonsense, and when you feel nervous, you like to tell some nasty jokes. This is a way to relax yourself, but If the enemy knows this habit of yours, it will be easy for them to take advantage of it."

"Uh, that's not the case. I don't have the time to talk nonsense with the enemy... They won't have the opportunity to listen to me. If there is someone I believe to be the enemy standing here, I won't talk nonsense with him at all. , Pull out the gun directly and shoot it on the girl's forehead."

"No one knows if the people around you will be enemies." Ke Lan said in a low voice, "Don't let your guard down."

"Well." The hound suddenly became serious, and nodded without a trace. He could hear that Ke Lan's words were not complaining about him, but a very serious warning.

General Maginot treated them with enthusiasm, and the trip went smoother than expected... But this does not mean that General Maginot must be a trustworthy person, including those photos...all the information , until you get your own personal confirmation, you must mark a question mark.

General Magino hurried to Ke Lan and the others. He knew Ke Lan and the others. When his eyes moved to Major General Alexander, he paused for a few seconds—Major General Alexander didn't Wearing the uniform with the rank of general, but an air force combat uniform with all insignias removed, and a pair of light powered exoskeleton added to the combat uniform, this dress is similar to that of a soldier, but this one The face, however, gave General Maginot a sense of familiarity.

"Excuse me, this is..."

"Former Commander of Fleet Zero, Alexander." Rear Admiral Alexander introduced himself.

The face in front of him immediately aligned with the person in Magino's memory, and he nodded repeatedly: "I remember, I remember... I am deeply sorry for what happened to Fleet Zero... I just don't know General Alexander, how many troops do you have under your command now? In this special period, any combat power is very important to us."

"There are still 3 survivors of the Zero Fleet, but we have lost all our warships." Major General Alexander said, "Excluding the wounded and those who are not capable of fighting, we can probably piece together a force of 1 people."

"1 people, that's a lot..." Machino nodded, and then looked at Ke Lan, "Mr. Ke Lan, by the way, is Yaguna Ketor... still there?"

"Yes. But it's not here." Ke Lan said, "That thing is too conspicuous, and it is inconvenient to drive over because of the identity of a rebel."

"Also..." General Magino finally breathed a sigh of relief after the question that he most urgently wanted an answer to was solved, and led everyone into his office.

The office has been tidied up, and several exquisite coffee cups have been brought up and placed in front of everyone. The cups contain steaming hand-ground coffee—on the ark, hand-ground coffee can be regarded as a kind of A luxurious drink, but the coffee seemed less precious than the cup it was served in.

General Maginot's personal hobby is to collect exquisite porcelain. Since the coffee cup from the old era "fallen" last time, he commissioned craftsmen to imitate another batch.Although the imitation cups are almost identical to the original ones with the current technology, but in Machino's view, there is always something missing.

Even so, this set of cups is still his treasure, and his willingness to take them out to entertain guests at this time is enough to prove how much he attaches importance to Ke Lan and others.

"There is no monitoring or recording equipment here." General Maginot said, "The surrounding guards can also guarantee that no one will approach, you can rest assured that the things discussed here will never be heard by outsiders. "

Even the beautiful female secretary retreated under Maginot's order and closed the door.

"I think there are likely to be survivors inside the ark." General Magino sat down and said in a deep voice, "As long as we can contact those survivors, we should work together from both sides to attack these unknown creatures that attacked the ark. I think we will win. It's still pretty big...but the problem is how to get in touch with the survivors inside the ark."

"General Maginot," Ke Lan said, taking a sip of his coffee, "What if the 'unknown creatures' that attacked the ark didn't come from outside the ark?"
