Alien Relic Hunter

"...Okay, but how is your physical condition now?" Hound asked.

"No problem! It's just... I'm just not used to this prosthetic leg..." Zhuoligetu raised his leg. The prosthetic leg he used was the "Forerunner II" produced by "Norma Technology", which belongs to the fourth generation. The leader in mechanical prosthetics, each side is equipped with twenty-six myoelectric signal sensors, which are responsive, have good force control and joint cushioning. A brand-new set of mechanical prosthetics like this does not include those miscellaneous things. The official price of the modification and expansion package is 35,000 credit points, which is almost the same price if you buy it on the black market.

But things are good, and no matter how advanced a biochemical prosthetic body is, it always takes a while to debug and adapt when it is first installed. Especially for people like Zhuo Ligetu who have never used prosthetic limbs, it is even more difficult. adapted.

"But it's not a big problem..." Hound murmured, "Anyway, underwater movement relies on propellers... But I have to ask you again, are you sure you want to go? This is an A-level relic in the initial evaluation, and it has not yet been successfully explored.”

"Of course!" Zhuoligetu said without hesitation.

"...Go on." The hound sighed imperceptibly, and gave Zhuoligetu two metal tubes over one meter long and as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

"What is this? A rocket launcher? Or a man-made anti-aircraft missile?" Zhuoligetu squinted his eyes and observed the two metal barrels, but the inscriptions on them had been rubbed off long before they were delivered, leaving only There is a warning icon next to the safety valve.

"'Vortex I' portable torpedo, depleted uranium warhead, crystallized engine, each cost 8,800 credits." When Hound reported the price, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly... This operation was indeed a After spending a lot of money, these two torpedoes alone are already worth the equipment of an ordinary hunter.

Even for hunters of their level, the reward for an exploration mission is not much when it can reach five figures, let alone those low-level hunters who are ridiculed as "scavengers".

"Okay." Ke Lan walked out of the sterile compartment, and the thick glass door slowly lowered, completely blocking out the crushing chill inside.

"You unlucky guy, you'd better hold on until we come back." The hound glanced at the freezing tank behind the glass and whispered to himself.

Ke Lan looked at his watch and saw that there were still two hours left before the transport ship took off.

"Hurry up. Once we reach Zhonghai, there will be no time to breathe." Ke Lan grabbed the two underwater pistols assigned to him and inserted them into the holsters under his ribs.

"Leyton, check the thrusters and everything else, as well as the equipment that requires crystal converters. If something goes wrong by then, don't call yourself a weapons expert anymore... Also, I Contact another person." Hound said, took out the communicator and dialed a number.

"Wait a minute...Old dog, is the person you are looking for reliable?"

"Reliable, my old subordinate, the guy who almost rebelled with me at that time." Hound said and touched his chin again, "It's a pity, this guy had a good future, but I got involved, otherwise what would happen now? He must be a school official."

Not long after, a young man wearing greasy work clothes appeared at the door of the clinic.

"A brief introduction, Liao Zilang, was once the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon under my command. He is good at tracking and counter-tracking, laying traps, and his marksmanship and fighting skills are also top-notch." Hound said.

"Hello everyone." Liao Zilang nodded to everyone.

"Hello." Ke Lan was the first to extend his hand to Liao Zilang. The latter hesitated slightly and then shook hands with Ke Lan.

As soon as he touched Liao Zilang's palm, Ke Lan let out a cry of surprise in his heart. The other person's skin did not have the texture that a human should have at all, but more like the silicone skin used in simulated biochemical prostheses, but it seemed to be better than silicone. The skin is tougher.

"Your hand..." Ke Lan looked up along Liao Zilang's arm, but he found no traces of the biochemical prosthesis, not even the surgical incision. In other words, the other party's The arm should be an "original item".

Not only his arms, but when he got closer, he discovered that all the exposed skin of this person had the same texture, even his face, so that if you look closely, his smile would feel very unnatural.

Liao Zilang just smiled and said nothing, while Hound explained: "This kid worked as a shipbreaker at the airport with his father when he was a child. One time, he accidentally fell into a tank of toxic wastewater. Logically speaking, someone else would definitely be dead. However, he was lucky enough to survive. Not only did he crawl out alive, he also developed a benign mutation."

"Benign mutation?!" Ke Lan was a little surprised.

"Yes, you have also noticed that his skin is completely different from ours. It is strong enough to shoot nine-millimeter pistol bullets at close range. Not only that, he is not afraid of strong acids and alkalis... To use a proverb among you Chinese people, How to put it... Oh, yes, it's 'invulnerable to fire and water'. Even electric shock has no effect. Moreover, this kid's radiation resistance is almost abnormal. He didn't even need to wear protective clothing when he ran outside the Ark - then At that time, people from the research institute came to my army every day to ask for help, but they were all kicked away by me." There was a hint of envy in Hound's tone.

"Boss, you look up to me too much. I still can't handle some areas with strong radiation." Liao Zilang smiled and touched the back of his head.

"What the hell, those places with "stronger radiation" in your mouth would have been killed by someone else!" Hound scolded with a smile.

"...This mutant ability is indeed a bit abnormal." Ke Lan suddenly thought of something and asked Liao Zilang: "The seawater in Zhonghai contains toxins, and we cannot directly remove them. What about you? Have you tried it?"

"I tried it once. On the west coast of Zhonghai, I dived almost two hundred meters deep with bare hands. I didn't bring a depth gauge at that time. I can't remember the exact amount." Liao Zilang replied.

"...Awesome." In response to this, Ke Lan could only hold back the word "Awesome" after holding it in for a long time.

For them, if the diving suit is damaged during the diving process, it will be extremely dangerous. But for Liao Zilang, it seems to be completely indifferent. The poison and radiation in the seawater will not be affected at all. What harm did it do to him.

"Can the person I found be awesome?" Hound said proudly.

"I originally wanted to follow my boss and become a hunter, but my dad is in poor health and needs someone to take care of me. I can't go out on missions all year round, so I returned to my hometown." Liao Zilang said, "But my boss often helps people like me Brothers who behave like this are not very good, so as long as the boss gives orders, we people will still be the boss's soldiers!"

Okay, the wounded have returned to the team, the equipment has been set up, new people have joined, and we are ready to set off soon.
