Alien Relic Hunter

"In the past twenty years, no one has tried to explore this space station..." Ke Lan pressed the remote control, and the information on the projection screen suddenly turned to the next page, "There is information to follow. It was recorded four times in total, nine years ago, six years ago, four years ago and three years ago.”

"The latest record is of little value. It was a group of young rich young men who held some kind of 'valor test meeting'. As a result, they only circled around the periphery of Areas B and C, and did not even go deep into Areas B and C. He returned to the Ark in despair, the entire file including the title is less than two hundred words... As for the time four years ago, it should be the time when Ivan's friend disappeared," Ke Lan said.

"Well, there were three people in total, all doctors. The purpose of the exploratory operation was to study topics related to radiation sickness, but when they came back, only two people were left, and both of them died within a year. The cause of death was highly malignant. of non-Hodgkin lymphoma," Ivan said.

"Non-Hodgkin lymphoma?" Ke Lan was slightly startled. This is a malignant tumor of the blood system. Compared with leukemia, which is also a malignant tumor of the blood system, the five-year survival rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is slightly lower. It is higher, but the death rate of highly malignant lymphoma is much faster than that of acute leukemia. The shortest time from the onset of obvious symptoms to death is only a few days. In this case, there is not even a window for rescue.

With current medical technology, many cancers are no longer terminal diseases. Even if they cannot be completely cured, it is still easy to extend the patient's survival time and improve the quality of life. And these two people themselves are doctors, and they are not the kind of people whose family background is difficult and cannot afford medical expenses. However, they died of lymphoma attacks within a year. Obviously, they suffered from that kind of malignancy. The highest and fastest type of death.

"Is it because they were exposed to radiation?" Ke Lan asked. The description of the two people's illnesses in the document was vague. On the contrary, Ivan knew more. "Even if they didn't wear protective clothing, going to a place like that would , you must be taking anti-radiation drugs, right? After you come back, you will definitely be instilling anti-radiation drugs to remove the radiation from your body... Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case... If the radiation is that strong, then there will be There was no way anyone could survive."

"Look at this one." Ivan pointed to a paragraph in the information and said, "They were attacked by unknown people when they were visiting patients with radiation sickness in the sick village."

Ivan paused and continued: "One of these two people had contact with me after returning to the Ark. He told me that after the attacker wounded them, he spilled his own blood on their wounds. "

"You mean... blood infection?" Ke Lan pondered for a few seconds, "But... although non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignant tumor of the blood system, this disease will not be spread through blood infection... If It makes sense that they were suffering from AIDS... Wait! Could it be that after these two people were infected with AIDS, their immune systems collapsed, and then they developed lymphoma, and their condition worsened and died within a short period of time? Right?!"

Ivan shook his head: "No, I checked the autopsy report and the HIV test was negative."

"Then this doesn't make sense... Unless there is a high concentration of radiation in the blood, direct blood, it will cause such consequences... However, if there is such a high concentration of radiation in the blood, then the owner of this blood , can it still be considered a human being?" Ke Lan's index finger tapped the table rhythmically and said slowly.

"In short, the following items should be added to the precautions: take good physical protection, try not to cause trauma, absolutely prohibit the intake of local food and drinks, strictly prohibit contact with any local body fluids, and it is best not to have any direct physical contact Contact." Ivan said seriously.

"Listen to what you guys say, why do I feel like this sick village is just raising poison..." The hound couldn't help complaining, "Those with weak constitutions and bad luck will probably die soon after being sent there. Those Those who can survive and stay in the space station for several years are probably no more than monsters if not monsters... This is not even a human being, he is simply the Poison King."

"Then... that Marshall... can he still survive in a place like this?" Zhuoligetu whispered, while looking at Asano Akira cautiously.

"People from the Security Bureau have tortured Mann's followers. They only learned about the news that Marshall was in South Sixteenth District half a month ago... Although it is not clear whether the source of the news is reliable, it is at least worth a try. ." Ke Lan said.

"That also depends on the timeliness of the information... If they obtain expired information, then we will not be taken advantage of." Hound muttered.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Ke Lan paused, "In addition to these two exploration records, the two earlier records contained more content, including the living conditions of the sick village and the daily diet of the residents. and daily life, some customs and beliefs..."

Speaking of this, Ke Lan suddenly stopped, and the expressions of several other people also changed to varying degrees.

"It is mentioned in the records... that the residents of the sick village generally believe in an unnamed god..." Ivan read out the second half of the sentence in the information, "could this god... be..."

"Heretical sect." Hound said one word at a time, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"It doesn't have to be a heretical sect... Even if there were missionaries from a heretical sect mixed in with the miners suffering from radiation sickness, the South Sixteenth District is completely isolated from the outside world. It is impossible for a heretical sect on the ground to exist. Those who can control the believers there..." Ke Lan analyzed, "Furthermore, Lao Gou also said that the residents of Sick Village do not live long. Even if the heretical sect spreads among them, it will be different from the heretical sects on the ground. They definitely can’t be considered the same kind…”

"But it is still a threat to us." Ivan continued reading this information, "The residents of the sick village are very xenophobic, especially hostile to healthy people who come from the ground and do not suffer from radiation sickness... which is why For this reason, it is extremely difficult for those who go to explore the diseased villages to carry out investigation operations; almost no locals are willing to communicate with them, and they are often spied on, followed or even attacked."

"If I were these people, I would also hate the people on the ground. Those mining companies are doing all the immoral things of giving birth to sons without sex. What's the difference between throwing people in a space station and leaving them in the wilderness to fend for themselves... To put it bluntly Well, those mining companies never treated them as human beings... This is simply the treatment of animals." The hound cursed.
