Alien Relic Hunter

"There is only so much information I can provide... To be honest, although that place is indeed very profitable, I suggest you wait and see for a while. After all, if you go crazy, I will lose a big customer. . By the way, I'm doing an event recently, and all the information is 20% off. Considering our relationship, I'll give you half the price, and the money will be transferred to the previous account." After saying this, ACMS_0420 closed the door directly. dialog window.

Ke Lan raised his head and looked at each other with Hound and the others. They all saw the content of the chat just now.

"More than half of the hunters who came back are crazy... Isn't this too evil?" The hound subconsciously rubbed the stubble on his chin and said uneasily.

"I'm afraid there's more..." Ke Lan tapped her nails on the table, "The time these people went crazy was not consistent. The shortest time was seventy-two hours after leaving the Tiankeng ruins, and the longest time was almost a week. Among the remaining normal hunters, there are still people who suddenly fall into madness from time to time... This proportion is still rising, and I think this may be one of the reasons why the bottomless sinkhole is classified as S-level."

"What a hell! If that's the case, why don't they just seal up this ruins? Instead, they want to hide all this information?" Layton said angrily.

"Because of profit... these hunters did not die while exploring the ruins. Compared with death, the public opinion caused by mental disorder will be much smaller... Moreover, there is no evidence to prove their mental disorder and the S-018 ruins. If there is any connection, the research value of the stone tablets they mined from the sinkhole is much more valuable than their lives. What's more, the current "average mortality rate" of this S-class ruins is less than 1 %." Ke Lan whispered.

"The reality is so fucked... The officials and the research institute got the stone tablet they wanted most. The hunting group to which the hunter belonged and the big consortium behind it made a lot of money because of the huge profits. The only ones who were injured were those The relic hunters are used as money-making tools by the hunting group... But who cares about their life and death... The official and the hunting group are even working together to conceal this information, just to trick more hunters into going down to the sinkhole. Go deeper..." Hound said with disdain, "In the eyes of those bastards, the lives of the people at the bottom are not worth much money."

"These relic hunters can unearth so many things from the sinkhole. In the eyes of the people above, even if they sacrificed their lives to get it, it is still a small profit. Not to mention that no one died. It's just crazy... But then again, our industry is about exchanging lives for money." Ivan shrugged and said indifferently.

"Then...then go to this sinkhole?" Zhuo Ligetu asked, his words full of hesitation.

"Go... let's take a look first. We still have too little information. We should be able to find more things during field inspections. Moreover, I also want to take a look... take a look at the unearthed stone tablets. Maybe there will be any surprises. Harvest." Ke Lan said, although this ruins is indeed very evil, ACMS_0420 is right about one thing - compared with other S-class ruins, this place is not dangerous at all.

In addition, among the dozen or so S-class ruins, not even half of the people who entered came out alive. On the other hand, in the bottomless sinkhole, even if all those crazy people are counted as the "death toll", it is still embarrassing. Just reach the threshold of S-class ruins.

"There is a saying that 'practice makes true knowledge'. I think Ke Lan is right. Go there and have a look first. If we find that something is wrong, we just give up the mission." Hound patted the table and said, "Leiton, You are responsible for finding the transport plane...ah, no, this time we simply charter an empty ship to go over. Remember, it is a package, not a fight with others. I don’t want to run into a bug like last time."

"Uh... Old dog, it seems there is no need..." Ke Lan looked at his phone and pulled the sleeve of the hound with some embarrassment, "So... the Soma consortium just took over a 'Phantom-class' high-speed airship The use of the product has been assigned to my name, and the validity period of the right to use it is... ninety-nine years..."

"Soma Consortium?" Hound was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded, "This empty ship was given to you by that eldest lady? What is this? I remember there seemed to be a saying in the old era, what is makeup... Oh Yes, dowry! Could this be her dowry? "

"It's just the right to use it. Can you be normal..." Ke Lan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the hound.

The registered starting capital of a consortium-level hunting group is 300 million, and the cost of building a "Phantom-class" high-speed airship is ten times that amount, plus various internal facilities, additional weapons, and the hiring costs of fleet members. , to make such an empty ship fly into the sky, the cost required is at least 5 billion.

"Ninety-nine years, is this different from giving it to you directly? And you don't have to pay for the wages of the ship's staff... To be honest, I'm jealous. If I could be twenty years younger, I would definitely be embarrassed. We have to catch up with this little rich woman!" The hound opened Ke Lan's hand and stood up, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and organize your things first, prepare all the equipment and consumables you need. , buy what you need to buy, and tell me what you can’t buy and I’ll figure it out. We’ll set off at 12 noon tomorrow, that’s it!”

After accepting the task of exploring the "bottomless sinkhole" of the S-018 ruins at the office, Ke Lan and others chose to split up - Hound and Layton needed to purchase some equipment that could not be bought on the black market. ; Ivan and Natasha have to go back to the clinic to deal with things there first; Zhuoligetu and Asano Akira, who have nothing to do, return to the safe house to wait... As for Ke Lan, he has a more important one. Task.

Among the intelligence files sent by ACMS_0420, there was the name and address of a hospital... This was the special hospital that housed all the hunters who went crazy after returning from the bottomless sinkhole. Ke Lan planned to make contact with these crazy hunters before setting off to this place - in his opinion, the unconscious "murmurs" of those crazy people might contain something that everyone ignored. "Key Information".

After all, ordinary humans cannot hear the language of Alpha civilization... If these people became like this because they heard some "sounds that humans cannot hear" and saw some "words that humans cannot understand" If so, he might be able to find some special "things" from them...
