Alien Relic Hunter

Seeing these energy shields, Ke Lan was basically sure that these people were the convoy that attacked the Tiankeng Observation Station... Even the top mercenary group could afford such sky-high price equipment that easily costs tens of millions. You may not be able to afford it, let alone take out two pieces at once.

"Free fire, give priority to attacking targets carrying shield generators, be careful not to accidentally injure Lao Gou and the others!" Ke Lan shouted.

Because they were attacking from behind, Ke Lan and the others knocked down half of the exiles with one volley, and then the remaining few were quickly wiped out under the attack from both sides.

As for Ke Lan, no one on Ke Lan's side was injured except for the hound who accidentally sprained his ankle when he came ashore.

"Fortunately, there are no parasitic containers in these guys." Ke Lan checked each corpse, and then put the dagger made from a stone cone back into the equipment bag.

Layton took the initiative to take on the task of cleaning the battlefield, but he was just cleaning the battlefield. The only things on these exiles that caught his eye were the two small shield generators.

After cleaning the exiles, he threw the naked corpses directly into the underground lake... After a while, the blood attracted a large group of small transparent fish, and in the blink of an eye, these corpses were eaten All that was left in Shidu was a pale skeleton.

"There is nothing valuable..." Layton dumped all the contents of the exiles' pockets on the ground. Except for ammunition, food and a small amount of medicine, no valuable intelligence was found.

"I should have kept him alive." The hound sat on the ground and said while rubbing his ankles with his hands.

"There is still one alive..." Ke Lan has returned to the bonfire. One of the two surviving mercenaries has died. The other dragged his seriously injured body for more than ten meters on the ground, dragging a long trail of blood behind him.

Ke Lan walked over, stepped on the opponent's calf, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the back of the opponent's head.

"Don't... don't kill me... I... I'm not on the same side as them... I'm just a mercenary who gets paid to do things... don't kill me..." The other party's tone was very weak, as if he wanted to do it at any time. As if he had died, Ke Lan thought for a moment, took out an epinephrine shot and gave him a shot - without other treatment methods, this thing could not save his life, but at least it could allow him to speak before he died. Finished.

"Why did you attack the observation station?" Ke Lan asked.

"Wha, what observation station? I don't know..." the mercenary replied with a blank look on his face.

"You are pretending to be stupid when you are about to die, right? Do you want to have some fun?" At this time, the hound also limped over and said to the mercenary viciously.

"I...I really don't know..." the mercenary almost cried, "Our mission is just...just to go with the exiles, follow the secret passage they discovered into the mountain, and help them Just looking for something... I don’t even know what kind of attack or observation station it is!”

"Secret passage? Looking for something?" Ke Lan and the hound looked at each other, and then asked: "Secret passage? Where is the secret passage you came in from?"

"It collapsed not long after we entered, and two people were buried alive inside." The mercenary replied, "It's less than a kilometer away from here. If you keep going east, you can see the blockade. We have stayed at the secret passage..."

"So it seems that these people are not the same as the attackers?" Layton came over and whispered.

"No, they are a group, they are just divided into two groups, just like our sneak attack this time." The hound shook his head and said, "A group of people attacked the observation station above the sinkhole and robbed the stone tablets excavated by the hunters. And another group of people entered the ruins through the secret passage mentioned by this guy, looking for..."

The hound paused, turned around and asked the mercenary sharply: "Hey, you said you came in looking for something, what are you looking for?"

"I don't know...the employer didn't say it clearly. I only know that it is a brown or black opaque glass jar about the height of a person..."

"Then have you found it?"

"No..." the mercenary replied.

"Then do you know the true identity of that employer?" Ke Lan asked after taking over the conversation.

"He is from the True God Religion...but I can be sure that he is definitely not an exile. Exiles cannot afford that much money..."

Ke Lan knew that the "True God Religion" refers to the heretical sect. This is one of the names internal believers give to their own organization. There are many similar names, such as "Eternal God Religion", "Great God Religion" "Religion", "Unitarian Religion", etc... It seems that even they themselves have not completely determined the official name of the sect.

"They paid you money as payment?"

Most of the exiles barter with each other. They have no habit of using currency. Food or bullets are just equivalent to them.

So the general equivalent, only the residents on the Ark will have the concept of "money"... This mercenary is right about one thing, this employer is definitely not an exile.

"What the employer pays us is an unnamed credit point memory card... I put the card on the Ark. If you can let me live, I will give it all to you..." The mercenary's answer was pretty much what Ke Lan expected. The registered credit point memory card is indeed a very popular payment method for mercenaries like them who are "taking on underworld jobs". It is safe, reliable and convenient... The only drawback is that you need to pay when applying for this memory card. The handling fee is high, but for owners who are not short of money, this is the only shortcoming.

"Ke Lan, look at this." Leiton suddenly took over a captured energy shield generator. "At first, I thought this shield generator was just an embryo dug out of the ruins. It's just a shell. But when I took it apart, I found that it was a fine product that had been artificially processed. The energy path and converter had been improved. Although the trademarks and production serial numbers on the surface of the parts had been erased, the chip inside The records cannot be deleted. As long as I take the Ark back, I can find out the origin of these things."

[P.S. As for the energy shield, it is indeed a black technology, but it is not a product of a crooked technology tree, because it is impossible to produce the core components of the energy shield with the current technology of mankind. The cores of all existing energy shields are excavated from the remains of Alpha Civilization. As for the 'embryonic' and 'finished' generators that Layton mentioned, you can understand them as the original "public version graphics cards" and "non-public version graphics cards" produced by major manufacturers. Alpha Civilization is equivalent to the old Huang and Su Ma, those human companies that process shield generators are major accessories manufacturers such as X Star and Movie X. 】
