Alien Relic Hunter

"Isn't the 'core' of the erosion seed growing in the heart of the 'container'?" As soon as Ke Lan said this, he regretted it - Maginot had never told him about this, and The only corrosion seed he had "dissected" by himself was the one on the strange desert island. If the other party asked about it, it would be really troublesome to explain.

Fortunately, Victoria didn't seem to notice it. She just glanced at the container on the ground with some disappointment, and said in a mechanical tone without a trace of emotion: "That's why I mistook it for a mutant." ."

She took the injection gun from her subordinate, put the muzzle against the surface of the "nucleus", and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Okay, clean up this pile of rotten meat -" As she said that, Victoria suddenly glanced at Ke Lan, with a very strange smile on her lips, "Do you think I am a very cruel guy?"

"No, I just wonder...why such expensive high-end goods can look so ugly when you smile." Ke Lan said.

High-end goods, of course, refer to the bionic prosthesis on Victoria's body - Layton has said before that a piece of trachea on her body is worth half of his body. Although Layton has already exchanged a shot for a gun, Victoria's body The prosthetic parts are no longer the ones Ke Lan and the others saw in the exile camp.

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the two agents next to Victoria looked at each other with frightened eyes, and then took two steps back slightly, as if they were afraid of being affected by something.

"Because before I put on this prosthetic body, 45% of my facial tissue was completely ulcerated." Victoria was not angry, but chatted with Ke Lan, "In order to save my eyes, Everything below the cheekbones was removed, and 70 percent of the facial nerves were removed.”

Victoria stretched out her finger and tapped her artificial chin covered with a layer of artificial skin, and continued: "I can't control these organs with neural electrical signals. All the actions used for speaking and eating are preset programmed actions."

"Is it the Seed of Corrosion?" Ke Lan stopped smiling. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the commander of the First Fleet. At the beginning of the battle, he resolutely rammed his flagship into the Lili River. Vitan, a person who died together with the great beasts of the ancient world.

In order to gain a foothold on this planet, mankind has paid an unimaginable huge price - the Kirin of the First Fleet is part of the price, and Victoria's face is also part of the price.

"Yes, that's a mutant." Victoria's hostility towards Ke Lan seemed to have weakened a lot.

"I was just like them at that time," she pointed to her subordinates. "A total of six teams carried out the encirclement and suppression mission, and in the end only three and a half came back alive."

"Half...half?" Ashkani asked stuttering.

"The special ability of that mutant is corrosion. The man only lost one leg at first, but by the time we carried him onto the transport plane, everything below his waist was rotten." Probably because the vocal structure was also completely destroyed. Because they were all replaced by artificial bodies, Victoria's tone did not change at all, as if she was telling a normal thing.

"Hiss..." Ashkani's face suddenly turned pale. Although their garrison has dealt with many "special incidents" related to the Seed of Corrosion, in fact they are generally regarded as auxiliary units and are not responsible for actual execution. Basically, they are all Security Bureau agents like Victoria. As for mutants, they have never encountered them before.

"Are mutants easy to kill?" Ke Lan asked, "I mean, can mutants be killed in this way by killing ordinary erosion seeds?"

Ke Lan's question made Victoria couldn't help but take another look at him: "It depends on the ability of the mutant. Different mutants have different special abilities... But no matter what its ability is, as long as you can inject active cells into it In the 'nucleus', it will all die."

"That's good." Ke Lan nodded, "Things that can be killed can still be dealt with. What I'm most afraid of are the things that can't be killed."

The fusion monster in the abyss hatchery, the giant creature that was once imprisoned underground on the desert island, the giant beast Leviathan whose resurrection progress has reached 100%... Compared with these things, the Seed of Corrosion can only be regarded as a small witch. See the great witch.

"If you had really seen mutants, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that." Victoria sneered and turned her head away.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly.

"Boom", another one, and the shock was more obvious than the one on the ground.

"Something is approaching, and it seems that the tonnage is not small." Ke Lan said solemnly, picked up the gun, and put the butt of the gun on his shoulder.

"One group, two groups, and three groups, prepare to attack. Group four, set up the 'heavy crossbow'!" Victoria ordered loudly.

The agents whose names were called immediately ran to the equipment boxes they brought and put the modular parts in several boxes together. In just a few dozen seconds, a powerful "ballista" was ready. was assembled.

The structure of this "ballista" is very similar to the "harpoon heavy gun" that Ke Lan and the others used to hunt giant eels in the deep sea. The main function of this weapon is not to "kill", but to focus more on how to kill the target. Give "restrictions" a chance to create a perfect window for others to gather fire.

The agents had just fixed the base of the "Heavy Crossbow" to the universal slot reserved on the ground (note 1), when the guy who caused the earthquake appeared in everyone's sight.

This is a sumo wrestler, or rather, it was a sumo wrestler during its lifetime.

But even the burliest sumo wrestler can't compare with the "thing" in front of him - its height is more than four meters, and the width of its body is also close to four meters. From a distance, it looks like a Like an extremely huge meat ball.

On the surface of this "meat ball", the skin tore open countless cracks due to the huge tension, but what overflowed from the cracks was not blood, but blood-streaked, yellow and white fat.

In addition to the fat, there are also many tentacles emerging from the cracks. Compared with the first two erosion seeds, the tentacles on this end are even several times thicker.

"It's a mutant species." Victoria said, "This erosion species has been completely integrated with the 'container'..."

"Indeed, it is impossible for a normal person to grow to this figure...but, what will this guy's special ability be?" Ke Lan asked.

"I don't know, I have never seen such a mutant species." Victoria said, "Prepare the 'heavy crossbow', we can't let it get closer!"

[P.S. About the general slot on the ground (note 1): All the blocks inside the Ark are part of this super colonial starship, so no matter what material the ground is made of, its basis is a modular metal deck. In order to deal with possible incidents For intra-ship battles, general slots for setting up heavy weapons will be reserved anywhere on the deck (these slots can also be used to set up engineering equipment on weekdays) as well as emergency charging piles for charging power armor and mechas. 】
