Alien Relic Hunter
Chapter 119 The Remains of Leviathan
In order to increase the output of crystallization, Ark officially contracted the mining rights of Leviathan's Relic to the eight most powerful consortiums - the eight permanent bases located in Leviathan's Relic. Built by a consortium.
When the remains of Leviathan were first discovered, this place was once classified as a highly dangerous A-level ruin sequence... However, with the exploration of the advance team and subsequent batches of ruin hunters, people discovered that this prehistoric level ruins There is almost no danger in the remains of the giant beast. Apart from the complex maze-like tunnels in the remains, the only ones that can pose a threat to humans are the indigenous creatures living on the remains of Leviathan.
But I don’t know why, but most of these indigenous creatures living on the remains of giant beasts are weak and low-level creatures, and the largest among them are just things like "Scavenger Polyps" or "Ghost-Faced Rats". You don't even need to use a gun to deal with these creatures - as long as you have a long-handled shovel that is sharp enough, a strong man who has received basic combat training can take down about three to five "ghost-faced rats" alone.
However, this situation almost never happens - these low-level creatures living on the remains of Leviathan will not actively attack humans at all, and are extremely photophobic. It is very difficult to see them in areas with human activities, let alone encounter them. It's time to attack.
A scholar once published a paper specifically on this. He believed that the absence of high-level predators around the remains of Leviathan was entirely due to the remaining power of this ancient beast that had been dead for many years - even though it had It is a remains, but the fear engraved deep in their genes will still drive those advanced creatures to avoid this place at a distance.
"It's strange... Leviathan has been mining for so many years, but it seems that miners have never disappeared before, right?" Ke Lan read the contents of the commission again and scratched his head in confusion.
"It happened, but after investigation, it was found that it was done by several other miners. Personal grudges, killing people and dumping their bodies... This kind of plot is completely normal." Lao Gou said at the side.
"What happened to those miners who killed people?" Ke Lan asked.
"The principal culprit will be shot directly, and the accomplices will be exiled... But to be honest, if I were one of those accomplices, I would rather be shot directly." The old dog curled his lips.
"how?"
"As soon as those exiled guys were driven out of the base, they ran into a slave-catching convoy of exiles... Their ending was much worse than that of the main criminal who took the gun."
"Right near the base? Are the exiles trying to arrest people? Didn't the people stationed at the base fire on the exiles?" Ke Lan was a little curious.
"Normally, the exiles would definitely not dare to approach the mining base, but that was a special situation... The managers of the base deliberately allowed them to capture the exiled miners in order to set an example."
"So that's it... But I don't think this disappearance is murder." Ke Lan paused and continued, "There are twenty-eight miners missing, and they were separated within two months. There are many batches of missing persons, let alone corpses. There are no clues such as blood stains, clothing fragments, and signs of fighting. Unless the perpetrator is a master who is very good at erasing traces, it is impossible to kill twenty-eight people in a row. He's a miner, and he hasn't revealed any flaws yet."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" the old dog picked at his nostrils, "How could such a master assassinate the miners? It would be too disrespectful... Besides, what's the use of killing miners? This kind of thing has no technical content. If you want to work, you can just recruit anyone to do it."
Liao Zilang also nodded and said: "If a competitor wants to slow down the mining progress of the Soma Consortium, the mining equipment should also be destroyed... But judging from the photos sent back from the scene, the equipment is basically intact. It’s just that people are missing.”
"It's impossible for these twenty-eight people to be taken away by a group of ghost-faced rats, right?" Layton finally regained his composure and came over with his legs crossed.
"If things were that simple, it wouldn't be our turn to make the money." Ke Lan took one last look at the photos in the attachment, and then turned off his phone.
"But I always feel that this is that little girl trying to find a reason to give you money - so should we accept this commission?" Lao Gou looked at Ke Lan.
"Yes, why don't you accept it? Why refuse the money that comes to your door?" Ke Lan looked at the time and said, "In the worst case, it will be treated as a public trip. Anyway, all expenses can be reimbursed."
"Okay, let's call the doctor, Akira Asano and the Mongolian guy. There are seven of us. This ticket is nearly 50 million. With a little more money, we can almost buy a second-hand 'Amran-class' transport plane. Already." The old dog said, clapping his hands.
"What about things here? Is it okay for us to leave like this?" Layton pointed to the blockade not far away.
"It's not a big problem." Ke Lan lowered his voice and said, "They can handle this matter. There is no need for us to intervene."
"What did Maginot tell you?" Old Dog was the first to react. "The military has actually known about the Seed of Corrosion for a long time, right?"
"Yes." Ke Lan nodded, "They should have mastered the method of dealing with the Seed of Corrosion."
After all, they had already dealt with this extremely weird monster when the Security Bureau headquarters was attacked.
…
Ke Lan and others first returned to the North Eighth District, and then took another bus back to the clinic. As expected, Asano Akira and the others also received a commission request from the Soma Consortium, although Ivan, who did not participate in the last operation, was no longer on the invitation list. However, her girlfriend Natasha can give up her place to Ivan - with a person like Ke Lan with the title of "Special Advisor", there is no need to apply for this level of personnel changes. Just pass.
"The departure time is scheduled for a week later. Since we need to pass through several habitats of flying creatures on the way, we will not take the transport plane, but take the land route and travel with the convoy of the Soma Consortium transporting supplies. There will be no problem." Ke Lan looked at everyone.
"One week is enough for me to complete the modification and debugging of the new prosthetic body. This time I want all important components to be replaced with the most anti-magnetic ones." Layton said, he still remembers what he encountered on the transport plane.
"I should be about the same." Zhuoligetu told Ke Lan through a remote video call. Due to the use of more advanced LCL fluid and medical cabins, the time required to regenerate amputated limbs has also been greatly shortened - it must be said, Money is really a good thing.
"I have no problem." Asano Akira sat on the chair, holding the knife and nodded.
Although he has become very familiar with everyone, he still maintains a taciturn character - but everyone knows in their hearts that they can safely leave their backs to this swordsman who doesn't like to talk.
"I have already transferred all the money I earned into my father's account." Liao Zilang hammered Ke Lan's shoulder with his fist. "If the boss wants to believe you, then I will believe you too."
