Alien Relic Hunter

The information of the person corresponding to this DNA was quickly found out. It was a man named Alfonso Gonzalez Sanchez. He was 41 years old and had served in the Second Corps of the Field Force. After retiring, Employed by the institute, he is a level seven enhancer.

(Note: Enhanced humans are a type of biochemically modified humans, but they do not install cyborg prosthetics. Therefore, for the convenience of distinction in the following text, pure physical enhancements such as Marshall and Park Sang-woo are called enhanced humans, while those like Layton, People like Victoria who are equipped with cyborg prosthetics are called cyborgs.)

"Yes! Alfonso, that's him!" Park Sang-woo in the rescue cabin suddenly shouted, "The security guard who entered the lava channel with Mueller and the others is named Alfonso! He is a seventh-level enhanced person!"

"The seventh-level enhanced person... his physical strength is comparable to that of King Kong." Layton whispered, "This kind of person, even if he doesn't wear any protective equipment, will be very difficult to be injured by the fragments splashed out when the barrel is exploded. arrive."

At this time, Ke Lan suddenly looked at Aya and said, "Is this testing equipment specially made by your security bureau?"

"What's wrong?" Aya felt a little confused about Ke Lan's somewhat inappropriate question.

"Can this thing detect whether this person is infected by the cells of the Corrosion Seed?"

Aya: "You doubt him..."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

The results of the cell contamination test came out quickly - the seventh-level enhanced man named Alfonso was not infected by the Seed of Corrosion, at least not before his blood stained the gun.

"Ke Lan... Do we still want to move forward? Something that can make a seventh-level enhanced person go crazy and shoot the barrel into the chamber... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." The hound's face was full of worry, "If you want to No, think of other ways...try to see if you can drill through the outer wall of this tunnel?"

"If this tunnel is connected to the wormhole-like transmission device, it is very likely that we will be torn apart by the twisted space the moment it is penetrated..." Ke Lan rejected the proposal, "But don't worry too much, I I feel that the enemies Alfonso encountered may not be as terrifying as you think."

"What do you mean?" Hound was stunned.

"If the enemy is really strong, then Alfonso will have no chance to fight back and will be killed instantly... But now, his barrel has exploded, which means that he has at least emptied several drums. , that is to say, the duration of the battle is not too short." Ke Lan paused and continued, "The combat effectiveness of those experts and pilots can basically be eliminated. A seventh-level enhanced person without heavy weapons can rely on If a light machine gun can deal with the enemy for so long, it proves that the enemy is not very strong... Of course, the premise is that the opponent does not have the mentality of toying with prey."

"It seems to make sense..." Hound nodded subconsciously, "At least our team's combat effectiveness this time is much stronger than that of a seventh-level enhanced person."

"But you still have to be cautious." Ke Lan continued, "Maintain the formation. In addition, Layton, please send two drones out to watch the front and rear of the team. There is no need to reach the limit control distance. One hundred Just about a meter will do.”

"Yeah." Layton took out two robotic dog-shaped drones from the equipment box specially designed for drones. After setting a series of parameters, the two drones headed in two completely different directions. Ran out.

Before the team could set off again, the drone running forward made a new discovery.

A corpse.

In the picture transmitted back by the drone, a bright red human body was lying on the ground. At first, Ke Lan and the others thought that the red color was blood flowing out. It was not until the image with a higher resolution was refreshed that they discovered that, This is a man whose skin has been stripped off.

The red color on the body surface is actually the exposed muscle tissue.

The white pixels they originally thought were skin were fascia covering the surface of the muscles.

"Damn, it looks weird." The hound said while picking the biscuit crumbs left in his teeth with his nails - although the things on the screen were very visually impressive, but for those who have seen too much blood on the battlefield, For him, the scene was not too exciting.

The reactions of the others were all normal. Only Park Sangwoo's face looked very pale. He didn't know whether it was because of excessive blood loss or because he was frightened by the skinned man.

"Let the drone patrol the area around the corpse, and we will go there," Ke Lan said.

The reconnaissance team quickly arrived at the place where the drone found the body. Seeing the skinned body up close was a completely different feeling than seeing it on the screen - at least, Park Sang-woo's expression was even worse.

"I can't even smell the smell of blood." The hound frowned, "Looking at the texture of the muscles on the body, it seems that the blood has been drained. Could it be that the thing that killed him also likes to suck human blood?"

Ivan squatted down, poked the muscles on the back of the corpse with the handle of the scalpel, and said to Ke Lan: "The muscles are relatively stiff, and rigor mortis has not completely subsided. Thanks to the dry environment in the tunnel, the soft tissue has rotted The degree is not obvious. Considering that the deceased was a high-level enhanced person, the initial judgment is that the time of death is about four to six days."

"It has been more than a week since the earthquake occurred... It seems that he did not die when the 'Yagunaktor' fell." Aya analyzed.

"Can the cause of death be found out?" Ke Lan asked.

"There is no obvious trauma on the body surface... Although the skin has been peeled off, the peeling technique seems to be perfect. Not only is the subcutaneous tissue such as fat and glands removed cleanly, but the muscles and fascia are not injured at all, and it cannot be removed from the outside. To determine the cause of his death, I need to perform an autopsy," Ivan replied.

"Let's check the identity of the deceased first." Ke Lan said.

Ivan used a clean scalpel to scrape off a little tissue from the thigh of the corpse and sent it into the testing equipment. The DNA comparison results were completely consistent with Alfonso Gonzalez Sanchez.

The strength of body tissue is basically in line with the level of a seventh-level enhanced person.

"Wait a minute, this guy seems to be holding something in his hand!" The usually sharp-eyed hound suddenly said.

Ke Lan looked down and saw that there seemed to be something pinched between the fingers in Alfonso's clenched right fist.

"This guy's fingers are completely frozen... Damn, the bones of a level 7 enhanced person are so hard... I'll just cut off two fingers. Are you okay?" A sharp blade popped out of the hound's gauntlet. This is a high-frequency particle vibrating knife. As for the storage mechanism and shape, it refers to the hidden weapon in Assassin's Creed.

"If it's just a finger, no problem, it won't affect the anatomy." Ivan nodded.

"Then I'll cut it..." After saying that, the hound leaned the blade against it...

…

What Alfonso held in his fist was a piece of paper with a series of letters crookedly written on it.

"Alga...no, this isn't English." The hound frowned and read, "It looks like it's in Spanish."

"It should be Spanish. People named Alfonso are basically descendants of people who lived in Spanish-speaking areas in the old era... By the way, old dog, don't you understand Spanish?" Ke Lan took the note .

"Hey... in Spanish, I just know a few numbers." The hound said a little embarrassed.

"That's right...the number of Spanish speakers now is much smaller than in the old era." Ke Lan said while looking at the note.

But he only took one look and his whole body froze.

The note read "Aléjate de esa cama."

Translated into English is "Stay away from that bed." or...

"Leave the bed."

Why... why does this sentence appear here?
