Alien Relic Hunter

"This... cannot be determined, but judging from the information currently available, those who can be used as 'containers' for the seeds of erosion are without exception natural persons who have not undergone biochemical transformation. As for whether the seeds of erosion will interact with cyberspace Geyi bodies repel each other, so we have no way of knowing," Zofia said.

"This information...does it belong to you or the military?" Ke Lan asked.

"This is information shared with us by the military." Zofia replied, "Because the Pioneer was involved in the Undersea City incident, we know a little more than other consortiums."

"But sometimes the military's intelligence may not be accurate." Ke Lan said meaningfully. Among other things, Ivan still has a small amount of cells from the Seed of Erosion in his body, although these cells have been suppressed by the stalagmite fragments. Yes, but you must know that Ivan's robotic arm was installed directly on the infected site. However, from the completion of the operation until now, there have only been a small number of rejections within the normal range in the early stages, and they were all controlled with drugs. Wait... As for the impact of the cells of the Seed of Erosion on the Cyborg prosthetic body, it is completely invisible.

Although Ke Lan didn't know whether the heretic sect had such stalagmite fragments that could inhibit the cells of the Seed of Corrosion, judging from the "containers" he had come into contact with, it was clear that they had another method of controlling the Seed of Corrosion. From a technical perspective, this method should be considered very mature. In all likelihood, it is the research result left over from the Alpha civilization.

Over the long years, the Alphas have created countless "biological weapons". Compared with a terrifying existence like Vitan, the Corrosion Seed can only be regarded as a dispensable pawn... But since then From another perspective, behemoths like Leviathan were not completely completed until the demise of the Alpha Civilization. However, small pawns like Seeds of Corrosion can be regarded as having a relatively high degree of completion among these biological weapons. kind of.

If another "successor" obtains the complete "instructions for use" of the Seed of Corrosion, it should not be difficult to implant this thing into a biochemically modified human body.

The combination of an eighth-level modified human and a corrosive seed... In terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is already able to walk sideways on the Ark. Even a tactical mecha with thick armor and powerful firepower cannot do so in a one-on-one situation. You can definitely win against something like this.

"If you are worried that the strength of the Six Warriors is too terrifying..."

"This is no longer a question of whether it's scary or not... Even if a group of us fight against one of them, without using the heavy weapons that are prohibited on the Ark, there is no way we can be their opponent, let alone something like this There are six guys at this level in total." Ke Lan shook his head and said, "This is the gap in physical strength... We are hunters, not dead soldiers."

"This is exactly what I want to say... There are not many people in the entire Ark who can challenge the Six Warriors head-on... However, they also have weaknesses."

"Weakness?" Ke Lan's first reaction was to think of assassination, but then he immediately rejected it - for people with a certain level of strength like the Six Warriors, even the success rate of assassination is extremely low, unless they use prohibited levels. weapons.

"Yes, their weakness is in their brains." Zofia stretched out her long fingers and tapped her temple.

"Have they received brain modification?" Ke Lan asked doubtfully, "Isn't this impossible?"

According to the current level of biotechnology, most of the human brain is still a restricted area for modification. The so-called prostheticization of the brain is, at best, tampering with the visual and auditory nerves to directly convert the information obtained by external receivers. Information is simply transmitted to the brain, or induction electrodes are placed inside the skull to output signals through brain waves to control some electronic and mechanical devices... As for directly modifying the brain itself, there have been no successful examples.

Of course, brain surgeries that have appeared in the old era, such as lobotomies that can produce "idiots" in batches, are not included in the category of brain modification.

"No, but in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the Six Samurai, people from the Arasaka Consortium placed brainwave monitoring chips and miniature remote-controlled bombs in their heads. The positions are close to the brain stems. As long as they are detonated, they will die."

"It seems that the person you need, Miss Zofia, is not us, but a hacker with sufficient skills... By chance, I know a lot of such friends, and maybe I can help introduce a few to you." Ke Lan was somewhat agitated. He spread his hands helplessly, "Also, what makes me wonder is, since the military knows that the Arasaka Consortium has colluded with that heretical sect, why doesn't the military take action? Even if the military doesn't take action, what about the Security Bureau? Those people from DAS Are you afraid that you hate this sect so much that your teeth itch?"

"Because there is no evidence." Zofia sighed, "Actually... the collusion between the Arasaka Consortium and the heretical sect is just my personal speculation."

"...This beautiful lady, please don't tell me the source of this speculation...is it some kind of 'woman's intuition'?" Ke Lan suddenly felt an urge to get up and leave immediately.

"Of course not!" Zofia said urgently, her fair cheeks slightly reddened by emotion, "I have collected a lot of information and stored it in this computer. You can click on the fourth file on the desktop. Watch for yourself."

Ke Lan didn't speak, but silently opened the folder Zofia mentioned.

The first information was a wanted warrant. The wanted person was a vicious-looking black man. A very conspicuous scar extended from his neck to his chest. In addition, on his body, There are also many wounds that look like they were torn out by sharp claws.

On top of the wanted poster, there is a bright red stamp saying "The suspect has been confirmed dead."

Ke Lan clicked on the second piece of information, which was a brief file on the wanted criminal:

"Reynard Brown, a former field force non-commissioned officer, opened a machine repair shop in the West 10th District after retiring. He was accused of participating in more than ten vicious cases involving murder and dismemberment. He resisted arrest and injured multiple police officers. He then escaped into the heavy industrial park in the West 12th District and attempted to escape from the Ark through the waste discharge port, but was shot dead on the spot by a garrison soldier."

"This is just a cover-up to cover up the truth, because as many as thirty civilians were killed by Renas, and the matter was very big, so the public must be given an explanation." Zofia added on the side.

"What about the truth?"

"In the next document."
