Alien Relic Hunter

The most critical point now is... how far has Leviathan's "rebirth" progressed... how much flesh and blood does it need to absorb before it can wake up from its long sleep?

At this moment, Leighton opened the door of the office and hurriedly walked in: "Ke Lan, there is a reply from the Mitsui Consortium. They have reported the news of 'Emergency 000' to Ark Headquarters, and at the same time notified us. Bian sent a rescue team...what should we do?"

"This rescue team...isn't it here to silence them?" Hound said in the communication channel.

"No, since it has been reported to Ark Headquarters, they must have realized the seriousness of the matter... At least the people in the Mitsui Consortium have some brains, and they will not do such a thing that the enemy is still fighting among themselves... As long as someone is caught with evidence, it will be an irreparable fate..."

"I'm still not at ease." Hound paused, "Besides, Liao Zilang's life and death are unknown now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but blow the heads of those Japanese guys."

"If Liao Zilang is still alive, it can only be taken away by those people. If you blow their heads, then Liao Zilang will probably be dead." Ke Lan said, "This matter cannot be rushed...as long as we If they stand still, they won't take action against the hostages...otherwise, what's the point of taking hostages?"

"This is the reason... Alas!" Hound sighed heavily, "Forget it, you can arrange the next thing. Don't worry about my ideas, I will cooperate with you as much as possible."

Leighton also stepped forward and patted Ke Lan on the shoulder, saying, "Old dog, it's easy for him to deal with this kind of thing. Otherwise, he would probably be able to carry a general on his shoulders now. As for being mixed up like this."

"I know, but there is no need to rush, and there is no point in rushing... What's more, there is a bigger trouble in front of us... If this trouble can't be handled well, let alone Liao Zilang, I'm afraid the entire Leviathan Not many people on board can survive." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he glanced at the digital clock hanging on the wall, "It's almost time, the people from the Mitsui Consortium should arrive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of engines came from far and near, and two vertical takeoffs with the emblem of the Mitsui Consortium hovering over the square.

"Layton, can you establish communication with the people on the plane?"

"I'm doing it... Okay!" Leighton patted the signal transceiver antenna that looked like an iron pot, and then handed the microphone to Ke Lan.

"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? This is the mining base of the Soma Consortium. The communication identification number is LWT006SMA9943. Please reply if you receive it. Repeat. This is the mining base of the Soma Consortium. The communication identification number is LWT006SMA9943. There are dozens of survivors. Two people, one of whom is seriously injured and in urgent need of medical assistance, please call back when you receive it.”

"Hiss...hiss..."

After a burst of noisy electricity, a voice with a Japanese accent came from Ke Lan's earphones: "Received, we are the Mitsui Foundation special rescue team, the identification number is LWT008SJI1202... There are medical personnel accompanying the Xiyun. Personnel and supplies can provide you with immediate relief...but..." The other party hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "What is this thing in the square...?"

"It's the thing under our feet...Leviathan." Ke Lan answered in the shortest possible way.

The communication channel suddenly fell into silence, and then the other person asked in a trembling voice: "You mean... this is part of Leviathan's body?"

"Yes, it's not dead yet, and... it's waking up." Compared to the other party, Ke Lan's tone could be said to be unusually calm, "otherwise, how could it be 'Emergency 000'?"

"This...how is this possible...?!" the other party lost his voice.

"Nothing is impossible. Besides, the wounded on our side are about to be exhausted. If you are here to provide rescue, please do it as soon as possible." Ke Lan urged.

"Okay...Okay, please wait..." After the other party said, one of the two vertical take-off and landing aircraft flew towards the main control building. In the process, the pilot carefully avoided it. The airspace directly above the giant cocoon.

Although the apron on the top floor had been blown to ashes, the vertical take-off and landing aircraft had the same hovering ability as a helicopter, and medical personnel directly landed on the roof of the main control building with the help of rope ladders.

"Please tell us the general condition of the injured so that we can carry out rescue operations immediately!" The team was led by a young girl in a white coat who looked to be only 17 or 18 years old. She was carrying a huge medical box in one hand. In one hand, he is holding a badge with his identity written on it.

Ke Lan glanced at the badge and said, "Sakurai Na, director of the emergency department of the medical department, B-level physician."

All legally registered doctors on Ark have professional titles. Different from the old era, the professional titles of doctors now are divided into five levels from E to A. Except for S-level experts (S-level professional titles) Often only certain doctors who have made special contributions to the medical field can obtain it (the number of people in Ark does not exceed a hundred). These five levels require doctors to pass the exam one by one, and it is not enough to rely solely on medical papers and written examination scores. , in the examination scoring system, successful surgical cases with actual clinical experience account for a large proportion... Ivan’s medical license is only C-level, and Ke Lan doesn’t even have E-level. It's battlefield first aid and emergency medical treatment, which can only be regarded as half-baked compared to a regularly registered doctor.

Ke Lan was slightly surprised that the girl in front of him who was not yet twenty years old actually had a B-level professional title.

You know, in terms of ability, Ivan can actually get the B-level professional title a long time ago, but he is stuck on the accumulation of surgical cases... Many times, it is not necessary to operate on injured hunters outside the Ark. Including this, if you want to reach the B-level threshold, you must complete at least 400 major surgeries with complete records, and all of them must be the chief surgeon.

It is no exaggeration to say that this girl can definitely be regarded as a genius girl. She actually sent such a person out to rescue...Does the Mitsui Foundation really have no worries at all?

Not only are the hounds worried that the Mitsui Consortium may be detrimental to them, but relatively speaking, if they want to deliberately retaliate, the rescuers of the Mitsui Consortium will also bear a lot of risks. No one can be sure what the other party will do in a desperate situation. What measures were taken, under such circumstances, the other party actually let the girl join the rescue team...

If something happens to her, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Mitsui Consortium... It can even be said that this girl's life is much more valuable than hunters like them... Not only them, but also Man Stein's value is not as good as hers.

Could it be that the power behind Yui is not the Mitsui Consortium? Ke Lan couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.

But he quickly hid this doubt in his heart. Not only that, he didn't even mention a word about the attackers, and directly ignored the weird reactions of the medical staff following Sakuraina after seeing the bombed tarmac. In their eyes, there seemed to be a silent understanding between the two parties.

"Our people have already dealt with the high-level amputation of both legs. The main problem at present is massive blood loss and the risk of infection. Immediate blood transfusion and gangrene removal are required, as well as anti-infective treatment." Ke Lan led Sakurai Na and the others along the stairs. Walking down, he said quickly.

"Are you a doctor?" Sakuraina glanced at Ke Lan and asked.

"I'm not a doctor, but I have learned some battlefield first aid." Ke Lan replied, "Have you brought type A blood plasma?"

"Yes, you mentioned the blood type of the injured in the rescue message before." Sakuraina nodded, "But can you tell me what exactly happened here? I heard... that thing outside is Li Vitan?"

"We discovered an unknown creature in the mine, and they attacked the base. As for the thing outside, it grew directly from the ground, from the top of Leviathan's spine."

"Unknown creature? Attacked the base?... Is there any connection with the thing in the square? As for Leviathan..." Sakuraina's eyes widened, and she was obviously confused by Ke Lan's words.

"It's hard to explain clearly in one sentence. Let's save people first." Of course Ke Lan did it on purpose. There are too many things involved in this matter, and there are many things that are not suitable for the current occasion. To be clear...especially for Sakurai Na.

Ke Lan can almost confirm that Sakuraina should be unaware of the previous attacks. In addition to her, the same should be true for the rescuers of the Mitsui Consortium. They discussed what they saw in the base without any secret. , Ke Lan even heard people talking more than once about topics such as "If it was a monster attack, it would be impossible to cause this level of damage", "It was obviously our human weapons that destroyed the tarmac"... If it was a performance If they come, then this is not a medical rescue team, but a group of Oscar winners, right?

From this point of view, there should be only two possibilities left: Mitsui Consortium and Ke Lan have reached a subtle tacit understanding. Both parties kept silent about what happened before, and even the rescue team sent out was composed of It is composed of completely uninformed people. This is already a way to express one's position and attitude... As for the other possibility, it can only mean that the incident was not done by the Mitsui Consortium. It was some kind of spy or invasion. It has nothing to do with them.

But no matter which one it is, it is the same for the current situation. The first thing they have to solve is the "big problem" of Leviathan.

Leviathan must not be resurrected. Otherwise, with the current military power of mankind, unless the Ark is directly driven over and bombarded with the main cannon, even if all the fleets are put in, they may not be able to suppress this ancient beast.

The current Leviathan is no longer the same creature as the Leviathan in that virtual image. The current Leviathan has been transformed by the Alpha civilization into a strange and powerful biological weapon...

For humans, this is not just a simple matter of losing a rich crystal mine. No one is sure what actions Leviathan will take after rebirth, even if it crashes into the ark parked on the equator. , is also entirely possible.

Leviathan, which has been transformed by Alpha civilization, can accumulate the "progress bar" of rebirth by absorbing the flesh and blood of aliens. Then it can also continue to use this method to continuously strengthen itself after resurrection, and even... complete another evolution, and possess The Ark, with a population of more than 50 million, was obviously a meal that was hard to refuse for Leviathan.

According to Ke Lan's idea, the best solution is to evacuate all personnel stationed on Leviathan, then use ground-penetrating missiles to directly destroy the giant cocoon in the square, and finally set up an isolation zone around Leviathan. Drive away all the indigenous creatures that come close to here... As long as it cannot get nourishment, Leviathan's rebirth progress will always stagnate at its current state.

But the problem is, how can he make the officials believe in his judgment... He is the only one who can read the words on the black stone tablet, and he is the only one who has seen the image of the beast's fall. From an outsider's perspective, what he sees is Some of what he said can only be regarded as conjectures... No, not even conjectures, they are completely unfounded alarmism. Even if the security bureau arrested him for spreading rumors, it would not be an exaggeration.

The only evidence is the giant cocoon outside. As long as you dig down along the root of the giant cocoon, you will definitely get more clues, but in Ke Lan's subconscious, there is always a voice stopping him... …Originally, he didn’t believe in these things, but after what happened in the glacier ruins, he had to believe in these things, and the facts also proved that the information that was instilled in his memory was true and precise.

Ke Lan couldn't turn a blind eye to it, but sometimes he was very entangled... After all, he couldn't be sure whether these "supernatural events" were intentional by the Alpha people. This might be a trap set by them, and he was just a A chess piece that happened to be selected.

…

"The situation is worse than I believed." This was the first thing Sakurai said after seeing the seriously injured person.

"Get ready for rescue immediately. I need a sterile environment. Is it available here?"

"No." Ke Lan shook his head, "This is one of the few rooms in the entire base that is relatively well-preserved. The conditions in other places will not be better than here."

"Okay." Sakuraina tied her long hair back, and the assistant next to her immediately handed over the disinfectant. "I will try my best, but there is no guarantee that I can save the person."

"Yes." Ke Lan and Ivan looked at each other and nodded, "If he survives, it means he is lucky. You don't have to worry."

"good."

Leaving Sakuraina and her assistant behind, Ke Lan and others walked out of the secretary's office and moved to another room.

At this time, the rescuers on the second vertical takeoff and landing aircraft also successfully landed on the roof of the building and were brought over by Layton.

"I am Mitsui Suke, the commander of the Mitsui Consortium for this rescue operation." He glanced at Manstein. It was obvious that he knew the base director of the Soma Consortium, but soon, he was He put his eyes on Ke Lan and stretched out his hand to Ke Lan, "You should be the person with the highest authority here. What should I call you?"

"Ke Lan, special consultant of the Soma Consortium, temporary top manager of the Leviathan Mining Base." Ke Lan shook hands with Mitsui Suke, "I am very grateful to the Mitsui Consortium for the rescue. The situation is urgent, so I will keep the story short."

Ke Lan turned his head and walked to the shattered floor-to-ceiling window. He pointed at the giant cocoon not far away and said to Mitsui Suke: "You should have seen this thing when you were on the plane."

Mitsui Suke did not speak, but nodded solemnly.

"According to our investigation, this thing grew out of Leviathan's spine and is most likely part of Leviathan's body. In other words, this mountain-like beast under our feet is still alive. And there are already signs of awakening.”
