Alien Relic Hunter

"I knew that the so-called 'gift' that guy talked about was actually the last stage of this experimental project, and I didn't try to expose him... At that time, I was thinking that if I didn't come out of that place alive, maybe It's also a good ending." Marshall continued, "I helped him complete this experiment, and finally made him understand that it was all in vain... So what if he really creates a 'perfect individual'? He's dead. Hundreds or thousands of people were exchanged for a 'perfect individual' who could only survive for three months... Haha, when I knew my remaining life span, I knew that their experimental project had completely failed. .At that time, I was actually quite happy, and even felt a sense of revenge."

"For researchers who are obsessed with experiments, the result of a project that has taken decades of hard work is more uncomfortable than killing them directly," Ke Lan said.

"This kind of ability is not something that humans should master. A human body, no matter how strengthened it is, cannot withstand this kind of burden." Marshall said and suddenly laughed, "Guess what level I am? A reformer?"

"Can't guess." Ke Lan said bluntly.

"Level 8. In my impression, there are not many level 8 modified people in the entire Ark. Moreover, I am neither biochemically modified nor installed with any cyborg prosthetic body. It is the purest physical enhancement - but even if In this way, I can't withstand the destructive power of substantial mental power like a raging wind." He pointed at his head, "As long as my consciousness relaxes even a little, my brain will immediately be turned into a pulp. Then the whole head exploded, and those white and red ones could probably splash dozens of meters away... It's really tiring to live like this."

"..."

Ke Lan didn't answer. Instead, Ze Luo spoke: "You only strengthened your body, and your brain is still fragile, so you can't withstand this kind of pressure."

"I know, but I can't train my brain into muscles, right?" Marshall smiled bitterly, "Although I don't know where your ability comes from, but with the way I do, this is already the limit. ."

While talking, the three of them had reached the end of the corridor, where there was an oval-shaped safety door - this safety door was usually locked, and only crew members above the first mate level had the authority to open it. Of course, as the nominal owner of the "Greece" airship, Ke Lan naturally has this authority.

He stepped forward and pressed his palm on the touch screen. A faint green light lit up at the bottom of the screen, and then he quickly swiped up and down several times.

With a click, the safety door was opened.

At the same time, the Geiger counter hanging on Ke Lan's waist also buzzed.

"Beep-beep-"

"What's the noise?" Marshall looked at Ke Lan and asked.

"Geiger counter, there is radiation in the channel." Ke Lan replied.

"It's just a little bit of radiation, it's not a big deal." Marshall waved his hand, "There are many guys in the 'Sick Village', and their bodies are super sources of radiation. I am basically immune to radiation."

"Yeah." Ke Lan nodded and walked inside.

This passage can be considered quite dangerous for ordinary people, but in the face of the radiation resistance of the three of them, it basically poses no threat... It seems that these radiations are not intentionally caused by the puppet individuals, but simply escape from it. Just scattered.

Previously at the top of Arasaka Tower, the radiation there was even stronger than at the entrance, but as long as there were enough anti-radiation drugs and protective gear, ordinary people could still get involved.

But after taking a few steps, Ke Lan discovered that the problem had become a little serious.

With every meter forward, the intensity of radiation will nearly double. At the entrance of the passage, the alarm frequency of the Geiger counter was still "beep-beep-beep-", but now it has become "beep-beep-beep-beep". "Beep beep" sounded continuously.

And they only walked less than a third of the way.

"Is the radiation increasing?" Marshall twisted his neck and seemed a little uncomfortable. "I feel a little warm all over my body, and my arms and neck are itchy."

"Well, it's been strengthened a lot." Ke Lan glanced at the numbers on the Geiger counter. "The radiation intensity here is almost twenty times that of the door."

"Keep moving forward. It's just a little uncomfortable. It's nothing serious. Let's make a quick decision." Marshall rubbed his arms vigorously and quickened his pace.

We are already here, it would be a waste of time to choose another route. What's more, other routes may have been contaminated by radiation.

The source of radiation is on the bridge. If they want to enter the bridge, the radiation they encounter will only become stronger and stronger.

"Well, let's go." Ke Lan gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.

"Beep beep... beep beep... beep -"

The alarm sound of the Geiger counter became more and more urgent, and eventually it was a series of long tones. However, just after Ke Lan took another step, everything fell silent, leaving only a residual sound still echoing in his ears.

"What's going on? Is this machine broken?" Marshall was stunned. He bent down and looked at the Geiger counter hanging on Ke Lan's waist. He saw that the number on the screen had returned to zero.

But the unbearable discomfort still existed. Even if Marshall didn't know how the Geiger counter worked, he knew that the reason why the machine stopped making noise was definitely not because the surrounding radiation had cleared.

"When the radiation intensity exceeds the measurement range of the Geiger counter... it cannot be measured, and the alarm will no longer sound." Ke Lan said silently, "It is also commonly known as... 'explosion'."

"That thing...could it be a reactor?"

"There is a safety door at the end of this passage. That door also has a certain ability to isolate radiation... The radiation in the bridge will only be stronger than here." Ke Lan reached into his backpack and took out a plate The anti-radiation medicine came, and he tore off half of the board and handed it to Marshall, "This is the best anti-radiation medicine that can be bought on the Ark. Although it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the radiation intensity here, it is at least better than nothing."

Ke Lan was the only one among the three wearing a space suit, but despite this, he felt indescribably uncomfortable all over his body - his throat was so dry, a sweet and fishy smell kept coming up from his throat, and his skin I constantly feel a stinging sensation between acupuncture and burning.

"No matter, rush!" The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Ke Lan and Marshall looked at each other, and they ran forward, rushing to the end of the passage in one breath.

"Pa!" Ke Lan took off his gloves and pressed his palm directly on the unlocker, while Marshall couldn't wait to kick the security door——

"Bang——" As soon as the door lock was touched, the safety door was kicked out by him, and the scene inside the bridge was also presented to the three people's field of vision.

It was a creature that was more than three meters tall and extremely bloated. If Ze Luo, who had just transformed into a human form, represented the ultimate "beauty" in human aesthetics, then this puppet individual... was the ultimate "ugliness" .

On its body, there are countless human faces, including men, women, old and young. These faces cover almost every angle of its body surface. They squeeze and squirm with each other, and their writhing expressions look like they are crying or like It's laughing.

The moment the security door was kicked open, these faces opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards Ke Lan.

"This is..." Ke Lan is no stranger to these faces. Whenever he uses "Time Stop", the wails and screams he hears come from them... They are all from the East Ninth District. The victims in the incident were the "sacrifice" killed by the Arasaka Consortium and the heretical sect.
