Alien Relic Hunter

That would be troublesome...

Ke Lan couldn't help but frowned.

As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow... If there are really a few people in the Undead Crew who are determined not to let him live, even if he can complete the first assessment task, the following tasks will be different. The difficulty will only get higher and higher.

It's not that Ke Lan has never thought about reporting to the undead crew, but the problem is that this view comes entirely from his speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to support it. Besides, since the assessment task can be sent to him, this means that Other members also recognized the difficulty.

This is the real situation of riding a tiger with difficulty...

Just when Ke Lan was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, Ivan's voice rang in the team communication channel: "The survivor has regained consciousness!"

Park Sang Woo wakes up? ! Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the car.

I saw that Park Sangwoo, who had only half a breath left, actually opened his eyes at this time. Although his eyes were still confused and his consciousness was probably still in a state of confusion, the vital signs monitoring device on the side could not be seen. Judging from the readings, his physical condition has returned to stability and has not deteriorated further.

"Can you fucking wake up? Don't you just have a flashback?" Hound said, leaning against the car window with a surprised look on his face.

"He once underwent body modification." Ivan explained. "The level is not high, that is, level two to level three, but it was a physical strengthening route, so he woke up so quickly."

Physical enhancement is also a relatively popular transformation route. Unlike "biochemical transformation" and "cyborg transformation" that pursue destructive power and want to turn themselves into humanoid weapons, most people who choose physical enhancement do so to make themselves more capable. Gain stronger disease resistance, better physical fitness, and more comprehensive environmental adaptability...

There are also some rich people who choose to strengthen their bodies, and their purposes are more pure, some are to prolong life, and some are to strengthen their bodies... and some people even want to improve their combat effectiveness in certain aspects...

Of course, they chose one to two levels of transformation surgeries that are relatively mature in technology and have a success rate that is close to 100%. As for the eight-level physical enhancement that Marshall received, the failure rate is even higher than that of biochemical transformation and prosthetic transformation. .

The most intuitive ability brought about by physical enhancement is the substantial enhancement of physical fitness. The reason why Park Sang-woo can wake up so quickly is precisely because his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people who have not undergone transformation.

"No wonder this guy has been able to wander around in the wilderness for several years. If it were an ordinary person, even if he could come back alive, he would probably have a lot of problems." Hound said with a smile.

Ke Lan glanced at Park Sangwoo's file again. As expected, there were records of the body modification surgeries he had undergone - a total of four surgeries, with an enhancement level of two... But what left Ke Lan speechless was that this All the money the guy used for surgery was embezzled money.

Because of the rich, low-level physical enhancement and genetic modification surgeries are much more expensive than the same low-level biochemical modification and prosthetic modification surgeries, and it is also difficult to apply for a loan. Ordinary people cannot. Several people can afford the high cost of surgery, including Park Sang-woo, who has just entered the institute for a few years.

As for biochemical transformation and prosthetic transformation surgery, you can apply for special loans, because most of the people who carry out such transformations are in combat professions such as mercenaries and hunters. They usually sign a mortgage agreement and use the task remuneration to repay the surgery. Loans, even if unfortunately you die in the mission, the pensions issued by the government and organizations will be used first to offset the unpaid loans.

"Fortunately, this guy embezzled money and was willing to invest in his own body. Otherwise, by the time we found the rescue cabin, the light above would have been red," Leighton said.

"I really don't know whether this kid is lucky or we are lucky." The hound also sighed.

…

"Water...water...give me water..." The first thing Park Sangwoo felt as he gradually regained consciousness was the burning pain in his throat. He wanted to try to raise his hand, but found that his body had completely lost consciousness. He could not even think about it. I couldn't even turn my head.

He vaguely heard the unique beeping sound of the life monitoring equipment coming from his ears. He subconsciously thought that he had been rescued by Ark's search and rescue team, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"You cannot drink water in your current state. I will rehydrate you through intravenous drip." Ivan said in an extremely calm tone.

"You...are you a doctor?" Park Sangwoo turned his eyes toward the source of the sound with some difficulty, but due to the limited angle, he could only see the piece of clothing that Ivan hung on his chest to replace his white coat. The sterile surgical towel stained with blood made it impossible to see Ivan's face.

"I'm a doctor," Ivan replied.

"...Doctor...where is this...here?" Park Sangyou looked at the surrounding environment with some confusion. The small space in the car, the cracked glass windows, and the dark red scene outside the window, he didn't know anything about it. There is no way to connect this place with an imaginary operating room or ward.

"Isn't this...the...ark?"

"No, we are still in the molten mine area." After getting Ke Lan's permission, Ivan answered truthfully.

"Molten mining area?! We-we are still in the mining area?" Park Sangyou was startled at first, and then immediately became excited. Even his body, which was bound by zip ties on the folding stretcher, began to struggle slightly.

"Please don't move!" Ivan immediately stretched out his hand, suppressed his body, and then inserted a sedative into the injection port of the indwelling needle with his backhand, and pushed all the medicine in.

According to conventional medication standards, excessive use of sedatives is prohibited for seriously injured patients of this level. However, Park Sang-woo is a modified person who has undergone physical strengthening, and his body's tolerance is much stronger than that of ordinary people. This powerful drug The sedative only calmed him down a little.

"The mining area...the mining area is very unsafe...you must...leave immediately...the heretical sect has invaded...you...who are you?" Park Sangyou said incoherently, but when Ivan leaned forward to get the medical kit, He immediately saw the power armor Ivan was wearing, which made Park Sangwoo's attention instantly focus on the identity of the doctor in front of him.

"You...you're not from a heretical sect...are you?" he asked.

"No, we are the search and rescue team sent by Ark. We found your rescue cabin in the mining area and performed emergency rescue on you." Ivan said to him.
