Alien Relic Hunter

"Of course...but do you really not need our escort? Although the East Ninth District module has been destroyed, there are probably remnants of the heretical sect lurking in the surrounding areas..."

"I've even visited their lair in the deepest part of East Ninth District. Do you think I still care about a few small fish and shrimps?" Ke Lan patted the holster on his waist, and then pointed towards The officer held out his hand.

"Then...well, after you go back, General Maginot will find time to contact you. I hope you will not leave the Ark within a week at least."

"Within a week? Then I shouldn't go out. I earned a lot of commissions from the last two tasks. I shouldn't be able to spend all the money in a while." Ke Lan frowned slightly. He was prohibited from leaving the Ark within a week. Is this right? Are you planning to take any action on yourself? But judging from the officer's tone, this request didn't seem to be mandatory. Even if he insisted on going outside, they probably wouldn't stop him.

After getting a positive answer, the officer didn't say anything else. Instead, he simply found the key card of the armored hover vehicle and handed it to Ke Lan.

Ke Lan got into the hovercar, and the first thing he did was to remove the recording camera in the car, and then unplugged the power cord of the on-board wireless communication device - although this thing allowed him to get some information from the military's dedicated communication channel Useful information, but it will also record and upload Ke Lan's communication content. Even if he is using his own mobile phone, this device will also monitor the communication content.

Then, Ke Lan took out his cell phone and made a call to Hound.

As soon as the call was connected, the hound's voice came out of the receiver: "Hello? Hello, hello? Is that Ke Lan?!"

"It's me! It's me--"

"You're not missing any arms or legs, are you? Although Maginot has told me that you escaped from the East 9th District, he didn't say whether you came out vertically or horizontally." The hound spoke as fast as a barrage of cannons. , and the background sound seemed to be mixed with the shouts of two big men, Zhuo Ligetu and Leighton.

"I'm fine, just some scratches. How is the situation over there?" Ke Lan asked.

"We have left the hospital and are now staying in a safe house provided by that guy from Maginot. I will send you the address via encrypted text message later... By the way," the hound's voice suddenly stopped, "Have you found Liao Zilang?" ?"

"No." Ke Lan whispered, "The situation in East Ninth District is very complicated. I have no chance to find anyone..."

Ke Lan thought for a while, but finally did not tell the hound what Yui Arasaka said... The outcome was already doomed. If the hound knew that Liao Zilang might have been subjected to such inhumane and cruel experiments, it would only be the pain of a hyperplasia. .

"Forget it... Actually, I also know that after things develop to that extent, the chance of him surviving is already very... Oh, let's not talk about this. I heard that the entire East 9th District was just launched to a nearby place. We went to the Earth's orbit, and then received a shot from the Ark's main gun, so is this matter settled?"

"That's more or less it. I'll come back and tell you the specific details in person." Ke Lan said.

"Yeah, that's fine... Also, what's going on with the engagement?" Hound suddenly changed the subject and asked about Zofia.

If he and Zofia were engaged in the past, this matter would definitely be on the morning news of the Ark the next day - after all, the heir of a large consortium chose to marry an unknown relic hunter. This is in the eyes of the public. It's like a fantasy. To use a buzzword on the Internet, it's a "melon" big enough to attract the comments of a large group of people who eat melons.

However, the news of the engagement had just been announced, and then more outrageous news appeared: a power outage affecting the entire Ark, the isolation and blockade of the East 9th District, the rebellion of the entire Arasaka Consortium, and the kidnapping of a large number of innocent people... These news are simply a comparison. An even bigger news, as for the news of Ke Lan and Zofia's engagement, has long been left behind.

However, as Ke Lan's teammates, Hound and the others will definitely pay attention to this information, especially Hound. He had joked several times before that Zofia might have fallen in love with Ke Lan, but this time the joke came true. He himself must have been severely shocked.

"This matter... may be troublesome to say." Ke Lan muttered, "Actually, Zofia came to me to fight against the Arasaka Consortium, but now that the entire Arasaka Consortium is gone, I think the existence of this engagement should be nothing. It’s necessary…”

"Why is it unnecessary?!" Hound immediately yelled on the other end of the phone, "If she really inherits the Soma Consortium in the future, do you know what this means?"

"Stop it, I don't want Zofia to be tied to her chariot. She and I just have a cooperative relationship, and I won't sell my life to her."

"Fuck! Ke Lan, what are you thinking in your head? Who the hell asked you to sacrifice your life? This is obviously giving you a super beautiful wife for free plus money that you will never use up for the rest of your life. Do you think this is a good thing? Anyone can bump into it?" Hound couldn't help but cursed.

"Let's talk about this matter now. I still have a big and fatal problem that I haven't solved yet." Ke Lan sighed and said. Unless the crystal matter was solved, he would not be able to concentrate on other things.

"A fatal... big trouble?" The hound on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then his tone suddenly became serious, "What's wrong?"

"It's not convenient on the phone. Let's say it in person. I'm driving right now. You can send me your address and I'll come over."

"Okay." Hound said and hung up the phone.

Within a few seconds, Ke Lan received the address he sent - the safe house was not far away, just in the East Seventh District, and could be reached within half an hour.

Then, Ke Lan dialed Maginot's number again... Instead of waiting for the other party to call, he might as well take the initiative to call... Although Maginot may have been extremely busy during this period, Ke Lan didn't mind calling again at all. Add more trouble to him.

The call was quickly connected, and the person who answered the phone was not a secretary or messenger, but Maginot himself. From this, it can be seen that his number should be his personal contact information.

"Hello? Is it Ke Lan?"

"It's me," Ke Lan responded, "General Maginot, there's something I want to ask you."

"What is it? As long as it can be answered, I can tell you."

"Did you know...that the undead crew would?"

The other end of the phone fell into silence for half a minute. Just when Ke Lan was about to ask again, Maginot finally spoke: "This question... I can't answer you, I don't have the authority... ...But since you already know their existence, they will contact you sooner or later...In addition, you must not tell other people about this matter, as doing so will harm others."
