Alien Relic Hunter

"If that's the case...then this commission is not as simple as it seems." Ke Lan nodded to himself. He did not believe that the other party could offer such an outrageous price just to win over him. The reward for the mission must be It is directly proportional to its difficulty, there is no doubt about it.

"But the information at hand is still too little..." Ke Lan repeatedly browsed the relevant information sent by the Soma Consortium. If he analyzed it based on these clues alone, he couldn't even analyze it.

…

A week passed quickly. When Ke Lan and the others arrived at the assembly point fifteen kilometers due north of the Ark, the Soma Consortium's convoy was already waiting for them there.

What made Ke Lan slightly surprised was that the leader of the convoy turned out to be Yu Yi, the full-time secretary who he had met in the hospital that day and who was "ruthlessly abandoned" by him.

At this time, the opponent had changed out of the OL-style professional skirt and put on a black combat uniform made of high-density polymer. The extremely tight clothes perfectly outlined her proud figure, especially in the chest, abdomen and thighs. The areas covered by protective armor that fit the body curves made it difficult to look away. open.

"Who is this girl... This, this is a bit sexy." The old dog stared at Yu Yi and secretly touched Ke Lan beside him with his elbow.

"According to what she said, she was the secretary assigned to me by the consortium." Ke Lan said expressionlessly. If possible, he would rather change the other person to a man - of course, this has nothing to do with his own sexual orientation, he is simply just I think women are troublesome... very troublesome.

"Fuck! Is there such a good thing? Why have you never mentioned it to us?... As the saying goes, if the secretary has something to do, it's fine..."

"Come on." Ke Lan bumped the old dog's arm, and then snapped his fingers in front of the other party's eyes, "Be careful of the bourgeoisie's sugar-coated bullets, maybe this woman is the spy sent by the other party to spy on intelligence."

"That makes sense." Lao Gou suddenly said seriously, "Then do you know what some old sayings were said in ancient China?"

"Um?"

"One saying is that it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty, and another one is that if you die under peonies, you will be romantic even if you are a ghost~" When he mentioned the word romantic, Lao Gou even pinched his orchid finger in a decent manner.

"First of all, you are a bear, not a hero. Secondly, let alone dead, even if you are alive now, you are not romantic at all, only dirty." Ke Lan rolled her eyes at him and complained.

"Okay, okay, I'm not the only one who is confused by beauty. Look at the big guy -" The old dog pointed at Layton, who was crowded in the back seat of the off-road vehicle. The latter was holding his hands excitedly at this moment. Fist, neck stretched straight forward, cheeks bulging high. A pair of wide eyes that didn't even blink...

"It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful. I feel like I'm going to fall in love with her..." After holding it in for a long time, Layton finally came out with such a sentence. His tone was simply intoxicating...

"Have you seen it? I once said, food and sex..." Before the old dog could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Layton——

"Did you see it, old dog! That is the latest model of the 'Tarantula' all-terrain tactical mecha! It was just unveiled at the new product launch conference of 'Thor Heavy Industries' last month, and they actually got it! Ah! ...She is so beautiful, I want to die!" Layton said, even his breathing became rapid, "Look at those eight slender and strong legs! The titanium alloy ganino alloy composite armor, but The replaceable diamond hook can reach a maximum speed three times that of the Junius off-road vehicle, and can also crawl on nearly vertical cliffs... and the large-caliber rapid-fire rail gun, whose projectiles can even penetrate mines. The chitinous carapace on the front of the beast——"

"Shut up." The old dog's face turned pale.

"No, no, no, do you know what she uses? Brand new! The sixth generation small crystal engine! The energy conversion rate can reach 96.5%! This means..."

"I told you to shut up!" The old dog suddenly jumped up from his seat and shoved half of the unfinished compressed biscuit in his hand directly into Layton's mouth.

"Silly x-machine sex, there is no hope." After doing all this, he sighed and shook his head at Ke Lan.

"I think it's pretty good." Ke Lan suppressed a smile, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the brakes, and stopped the off-road vehicle firmly in front of the convoy.

The Soma Consortium's fleet has a total of eleven vehicles: two tracked armored vehicles used to open roads, three armed off-road vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft cannons and rocket launcher nests, one command vehicle equipped with a reconnaissance drone, and one Wheeled personnel carriers, four heavy armored trucks filled with supplies, plus the "Tarantula" all-terrain tactical mecha that made Layton "fall in love", the firepower of this convoy is almost comparable to that of a field team The battalion-level combat unit of the army.

"Mr. Ke Lan, long time no see." Yu Yi walked to the SUV with extremely standard steps and smiled at Ke Lan.

"It didn't take long, just a few days."

Just when Ke Lan was about to open the car door, Yu Yi suddenly took out a black pistol from behind, pointed it at Ke Lan's face, and then pulled the trigger without saying a word!

There was no gunshot, no smoke, and Ke Lan's head was not beaten to pieces by bullets - a purple-blue laser shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and glanced at Ke Lan's face, "Name: Ke Lan; Position: First-level special consultant of the consortium; Authority level: L8, certification has been completed, and the transfer of fleet command authority has been completed."

Fortunately, Ke Lan recognized that it was a scanner gun the moment he saw the muzzle of the gun. Otherwise, he might have subconsciously grabbed the micro-charge stuffed in the glove box and used it to hit the opponent.

"Now you are the commander of the convoy." Yui glanced at the hound sitting on the co-pilot, "But aren't you going to let me get in the car?"

"If you get in the car, who will drive that thing?" Ke Lan glanced at the mecha not far away that looked like a giant steel spider, and pointed at the helmet held in Yui's hand - this is a kind of The driver's helmet with powerful auxiliary functions is connected to the operating system of the fighter or mecha through external wiring. It can display various data of the aircraft in detail on the screen inside the helmet. At the same time, the driver can also complete aiming through the helmet. , shooting and other operations, so as to achieve the purpose of freeing both hands.

Tactical mechas with extremely complex operating instructions like the "Tarantula" require at least two to three operators to start if they are all operated by hand. However, if equipped with this auxiliary helmet, only one person is needed to start it. Maximize the performance of the mecha.

Although Ke Lan knew that the full-time secretary assigned to him would definitely not be a good-looking vase, what he didn't expect was that the other person was actually a mecha pilot - a mecha of the "Tarantula" level. The driver must have at least an M4-level mecha driving license or above, and among Ke Lan and the others, only Layton has an M5-level driving license.

As for Ke Lan himself, he only has an entry-level M1 license...

"I think Mr. Layton can't wait any longer..." Yui said. Ke Lan turned around and saw, sure enough, a big cyborg couldn't take his eyes away from the all-terrain mecha at this moment.

"Leyton, can you drive that thing?"

"Yes! Of course it will! 'Tarantula' inherits the operating system of the previous generation 'Thor Heavy Industries' flagship model 'Moa Dragon'. It is not difficult for me to get started... In other words, I can really drive this A toy?" Layton looked at Yui expectantly, his expression was like that of a child who was about to get a toy he longed for...

"Of course, as long as the commander agrees." Yui nodded.

"Go, be careful not to drive into the ditch." Before Ke Lan could even finish the last part of his sentence, Layton had already jumped out of the off-road vehicle, took the helmet from Yui's hand, and ran quickly to the parked vehicle. Wolf Spider" mecha.

"That helmet, can Leighton's big man put his head in it?" Zhuo Ligetu, who was sitting in the third row, leaned over and asked with some confusion.

"It should be no problem. There is an adjustment module anyway. Even if he wears it upside down, the helmet can probably cover his butt." The old dog said nonchalantly, "Oh, by the way, Ke Lan, sit in the back."

"Why?"

"If I were to drive, this young lady would just sit in the passenger seat." The old dog said with a "righteous" look on his face.

[P.S.] In order to prevent the infestation of gangsters, let me explain here. Ke Lan’s car is the "Junius" large off-road vehicle mentioned many times before. It is powered by a crystal engine, has six-wheel drive, and has three rows of seats. It's more than enough for the next seven people plus some equipment.
