Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 967 Vodka Medical Alcohol
"Mr. Ke Lan, you mean...these unknown creatures come from inside the ark?" Machino trembled, and carefully cast a questioning look at Ke Lan, "Is it...the research institute?"

"The research institute has already existed in name only." Ke Lan said, "If I told you that these 'unknown creatures' are most likely from the Undead Crew, would you believe it?"

"I—" Magino's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. After a while, he said word by word: "I need evidence, enough conclusive evidence."

……

Yagunaktor, core area, joint exploration base, infirmary.

The hunchbacked 33 was fixed on a cross by several shackles made of polymer material, and all the surrounding metal products, even those that did not contain Nino alloy, were moved outside the room.

"Sixteen times the dose of sedative has just been injected, and the physiological signs have temporarily stabilized." Ivan took off the nitrile gloves, and put several used syringes on the tray—these syringes were also specially made, and the needles were all They are all made of metal-free special ceramics, not only needles, trays, scalpels, but also some pliers, scissors and other utensils. They are either polymers or ceramics. There is no trace of metal in the entire medical room.

This is the suggestion given to Ke Lan by the owner of the hive capital—the 33 ability is to manipulate the Nino alloy. This ability comes from a family civilization with silicon-based organisms as the main body. This family civilization was destroyed in the war with the Ability God family. .However, the technology left behind by them fell into the hands of the Alpha civilization. The Alpha civilization improved it many times, and finally adjusted this ability to a version that can be integrated with humans.But because of too many restrictions and no good actual combat effect, this project was finally abandoned by the night watchman's decision-making level, leaving only a few sealed laboratories.

33 The one that broke into at that time was one of these sealed laboratories.

The hive master told Ke Lan that 33's ability was only to manipulate specific materials such as Nino alloy at first, but if there is a mutation, the manipulable substances can be extended to most known metal substances. When the ability evolves to the top, it can even strip the iron element in the blood and the calcium element in the bone. For carbon-based organisms, enemies with such abilities are fatal.

"Wait, wait, no, don't..." Before Soap could refuse, two tentacles shot out, and the sharp and slender needles pierced Soap and Noir's backs.

"Isn't it filled with medical alcohol mixed with water this time?" Layton took the flagon and looked in from the mouth of the jug with a frown.

Soap once had a comrade-in-arms who was too nervous and injected an overdose of stimulants on the battlefield, resulting in multiple organ failure afterwards. At that time, the field hospital did not have the conditions to transplant artificial organs for him, and it was too late to send him back to the ark. Soap They could only watch helplessly as the soldier who was not injured in the battle died painfully on the bed of the field hospital.

There is also a huge gap in strength between the family civilization and the family civilization. Therefore, even if human civilization can really become his family, there is a high probability that the ending will be destroyed by an alien family that is too powerful to resist.

"That's right," Ivan nodded, "Ke Lan also said that if 33 wants to return to normal and regain his sanity, he can only see if he can struggle out of those illusions. External factors can only play a role." Auxiliary effect...Speaking of it, this is the same as a cold, most cold medicines can only relieve the patient's symptoms, and ultimately it depends on the patient's own immune system to cure the cold."

Soap felt that he would fall headfirst to the ground at any moment and would never get up again.The vital signs monitoring device kept beeping the alarm, and he reached into the empty magazine pouch on his waist, which was stuffed with several used syringes, counted them with his fingers, and had knocked out six of them ... This amount definitely exceeds the danger threshold, and sudden death is not impossible.

Soap estimates that Noir may have taken more than ten military stimulants—although they carried small doses and diluted specifications this time, the total dose of ten is enough to be fatal, even if the medicine is effective After fading, he survived by luck, and will definitely leave serious sequelae.

"Don't be so pessimistic." Layton patted Ivan on the shoulder, "At least it's okay to cure a cold or something... If there is no medicine, we people would have died long ago... Think about the primitive society It’s fine, if you accidentally scratch your finger, you may die of infection, but now, even some diseases that were considered terminally ill in the past can be cured, isn’t this the meaning of the existence of medicine?”

Ark, West Eleventh District.

Noir’s situation is not much better than that of Soap. Although the physical training intensity of elite pilots is not weaker than that of infantry, Soap is always on the go, and Noir spends 90.00% of his time in the cockpit when performing missions. ...It may not be obvious in a short period of time, but over time, Noir's physical disadvantages will gradually become apparent.

"How could stimulants have such an effect? ​​Do you think I have never used stimulants?" Soap took out the empty syringes from the bag and threw them on the ground. "There is no medicine in this world without any side effects!"

"..." Ivan glanced at Layton in surprise, "I didn't expect you to comfort others."

As a cyborg reformer, Layton has all kinds of metal parts all over his body. For strength and durability, many of them are made of Nino alloy. Among the hunters, He is the last person who is not allowed to be close to 33, so he can only wait outside and worry.

But when he thought about what might happen to him after being caught up by those fleshy creeps, Soap would rather choose to die suddenly... Closing his eyes and losing all consciousness immediately was better than being tortured to death.

"Then what if I say that this is a stimulant developed by the Alpha civilization? You should know how big the technological gap between them and us is?"

"Help...huh...help...what...help?" Soap felt that it took almost half his life to squeeze out such half a sentence from between his teeth. As for Noir, he could only stare blankly. Eyes closed, panting heavily.

"Don't say [-], you can ask for [-]." Layton chuckled, "It's a pity that my account has been frozen, so I can only write a white note to you."

Although 33 will not evolve to the extent that it is enough to extract metal elements from the living body, Ke Lan believes that under the stimulation of those illusions, it is likely to break through to the second stage, so he ordered that any metal products be strictly prohibited from approaching 33. Prevent accidents.

"You are too greedy, why can't you save some for me?...Speaking of which, I don't know how Ke Lan and the others are doing..." Ivan raised his wrist to look at his watch, but suddenly remembered that because the watch contained The metal parts had been removed when entering the infirmary.

"Uh——" Soap was at a loss for words, but no matter what, he could really feel the changes in his body. The feeling of rapid heartbeat and sweating all over the body after the injection of stimulants did not appear. The burning pain in the chest has completely disappeared.

"Uh, this is not consolation, it's just the truth." Layton scratched his head, "On the matter of fact, if you hadn't helped me with the emergency surgery at that time, I would have died under the glacier ruins... As for 33, I would have died. There are those who are eroded, and their symptoms should not be called 'diseases' at all, and they should not be treated by doctors-"

He looked at his arms in surprise, and he found that the muscle lines on his arms seemed to have undergone some changes... He felt that if he went to the physical fitness test at this time, he should be able to easily break all his previous records .

……

"I said before, you won't become monsters." The clown shook his head, "The injection for you is just a biological agent synthesized with special materials, you can understand it as a kind of high-efficiency excitement with no side effects agent."

"I heard from Ke Lan that 33's current cognition has been completely distorted... In his opinion, Ke Lan is probably that kind of very terrifying monster... As for us, it's probably because we are relatively weak, which makes him feel uncomfortable. He was threatened, so he behaved relatively quietly."

"It's been twelve hours since they set off. Based on the speed of that 'Owl', they should have already arrived at the Mukakh Fortress." Layton handed back the watch and the empty flagon to him. Ivan said, "Don't worry, if you need support, Ke Lan will definitely send a message back. There are Zelo and Valentina's blasphemers. With Mukakh's military strength, he wants to do it." It's impossible for them to ... No news now, and that's the best news."

The strength in his whole body was so much that he couldn't use it up, and the soap even had an illusion: he seemed to be able to blow up all the things in front of him with one punch.

If it is severe, it will become a vegetative state, and if it is light, it will be paralyzed.

"The situation is not optimistic, but at least there will be no life-threatening for the time being." Ivan pushed open the door of the infirmary tiredly, walked out, sat down on the steps, and took it out of the pocket of the white coat very smoothly. A ceramic jug, unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp, "As long as Ke Lan is not around, his mood will be much more stable... For him, Ke Lan is a very sensitive source of stress. Probably related to Ke Lan's special abilities."

After Ivan finished speaking, he handed the flagon in his hand to Layton: "Would you like a sip?"

After speaking, he brought the jug to his mouth, and poured all the remaining liquid in the jug down his throat in one breath.

"It can only be explained in this way... This situation cannot be solved by existing medical methods." Ivan took another sip of wine, "I have studied medicine for most of my life, and I think I am also good at biology and anatomy. It can be regarded as attainment... But the "symptoms" encountered now, these knowledge are not useful at all, I can't help but start to doubt whether medicine is still necessary... I can finally understand why the "Shaojiang Kai" The medic would kill himself."

The clown didn't answer his question, but in the next second, Soap felt something being injected into his spinal cord, and then, the pain of dying all over his body disappeared without a trace, and even his physical strength disappeared. Restored to the peak state... no, even stronger than the peak state.

Soap didn't have the strength to dodge at all, so he could only let the needle penetrate the skin and muscles, and stuck into the space of the spine.

However, the eradication of this silicon-based civilization that believed in alien gods happened to be a family civilization created by carbon-based creatures.

The legs are as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every time they are lifted up is a double test of physical limit and willpower, the leg muscles are no longer sore due to the accumulation of lactic acid, but completely lost consciousness, even I can no longer feel pain even when I put a needle in it, and the only thing that is still feeling is the part above the lumbar spine... It seems that his lower body is no longer a part of his body.

"You...what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, there will be no side effects, and you won't turn into monsters." As soon as the clown finished speaking, two tentacles as thick as fingers emerged from under his cloak—Soap noticed that at the end of the tentacles, there was a needle like a syringe. Needle-like structure.

"It seems... this time... I'm really going to die." Soap thought to himself, he was speechless, and Noir's face was severely distorted, his protruding eyes were bloodshot, his forehead The thick blue veins on the neck and neck were bursting, and Soap always felt that these blood vessels would burst in the next second, and then shoot the hot blood ten meters away.

The technological gap between the two sides is too great. The strongest in the silicon-based civilization can only manipulate these metal elements at a distance of only tens of thousands of kilometers, but the latter can launch attacks from hundreds of light seconds away. Before reacting, the galaxy where the civilization was located was completely destroyed.

Soap didn't know how many meters he had run. He only knew that his powered exoskeleton had been scrapped due to excessive load half an hour ago. After taking off the exoskeleton, he relied on his own legs After running wildly for almost half an hour... Even with the injection of drugs, he felt that his physical strength was about to reach its limit.

"Don't worry, it's pure vodka. It's made from potatoes, which have been distilled and filtered many times." Ivan licked the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and said with endless aftertaste, "If you sell it, you can drink it in one bite. It’s really more than [-] credit points.”

"What did you inject me with?" But the surprise only lasted for half a second, and worries and scruples welled up in my heart, "I...I won't become that kind of monster, will I?"

"Do you need help?" The clown didn't use any equipment other than the exoskeleton, but the running all the way didn't seem to have any effect on him, and Soap couldn't even hear his panting.

"Ivan, what do you say? Is 33 still alive?" Layton asked loudly, lying on the outside of the transparent wall.

Just when Soap was still struggling with what the clown injected himself with, Noir's voice suddenly sounded: "Those things don't seem to be chasing after us... Are we safe?"

"For the time being," the clown said, "as long as we're still inside the ark, we won't be able to get rid of them completely...we have to speed up."

"Now, where do we go?"

"core area."
