Alien Relic Hunter

"What the old man said makes sense."

Ke Lan responded while feeling the smooth and delicate touch in his hands. He couldn't help but take a closer look at this little foot that was like a work of art, and then pinched it subconsciously.

The force was neither light nor heavy, but it still left a few light red marks on the surface of the snow-white skin.

Suddenly, a sweet cry came from above the head.

Zofia's face felt slightly hot. She wanted to pull her foot away from Ke Lan's hand, but found that she couldn't do it.

"Why is this man... so strong? He... wouldn't want to... at this time..."

She struggled internally and simply closed her eyes, no longer resisting.

Ke Lan looked at the eldest lady's expression from the corner of his vision. He saw that her eyes were lightly closed, her long eyelashes were fluttering from time to time, and there was a slight blush on her cheeks.

Her skin color is very fair, so even if her face is only a little red, she still looks very conspicuous.

Ke Lan suddenly felt that some of what that guy said was not completely unreasonable.

After this series of events ended, Ke Lan felt an indescribable feeling of fatigue in his heart for no reason, and he suddenly wanted to relax completely.

There are many ways to relax: playing games, watching movies, working out, eating a big meal, and...

"Does it hurt you?" Ke Lan let go of his hand and stood up and asked.

"No." Although Ke Lan had already stood up, Zofia's hands were still on his shoulders - considering her height, this action was not strenuous and she didn't even need to tiptoe.

Looking at the face so close, Ke Lan felt waves of warm breath blowing on his face. The strange feeling was difficult to describe in words... Two hundred doses of Thunder Beast medicine might be beneficial to him now. It has no effect, but this desire aroused through one's own subjective consciousness is another matter.

The threat from the institute has been eliminated, but the attitude of the Undead Crew Association is relatively ambiguous - but in any case, the "memetic infection" incident has obviously sounded the alarm for them, even if some people still have their own hearts in their hearts. His little abacus should be restrained a lot in the days to come.

Ke Lan will never believe the statement that "if he fails, the Immortal Crew will run away with the gene pool"... They definitely have other back-ups, but no matter how many back-ups they have, The institute's losses are real.

It is no exaggeration to say that this incident has already damaged the foundation of Ark and humanity. It will take at least a few years, if not more, for the institute to return to the state it was in before the incident.

As the saying goes, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat... For Ark, even a stagnation period of only a few years is very dangerous... especially when there is an unstable factor such as a heretical sect outside that is completely hostile.

These things should be left to the people of the Undead Crew to worry about. Ke Lan closed his eyes hard and temporarily pushed these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. Now, he only had one thought in his mind -

Eat, drop, her.

Ke Lan took a deep breath, lifted Zofia's body horizontally, and walked quickly towards the stairs.

Many things do not actually require a special opportunity. Just like now, Zofia buried her head on Ke Lan's shoulder and wrapped her hands around his neck, looking extremely submissive... Everything that happened next was natural. It just fell into place.

But what made Ke Lan a little speechless was that just as he was carrying the beauty and preparing to go upstairs, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him - at this moment, Ze Luo also followed.

"..." In Ke Lan's mind, the most correct thing to do at this time is to let go of Zofia and find a way to distract Ze Luo's attention. As for that matter, at worst, he will find another good opportunity in the future... But for some reason, he is now But she didn't want to let go of this gentle body in her arms at all.

The girl followed him until he reached the bottom step of the stairs before stopping.

Ke Lan glared at her with the four characters "No upstairs" written all over it. The Sanwu girl's face still had no obvious expression, but there was a trace of grievance in her eyes.

"...Can I watch it?" She thought for a while and asked.

Obviously, she knew what Ke Lan and the others were going to do next.

Ze Luo has already understood this kind of knowledge very thoroughly through literature, but she has never witnessed it with her own eyes in reality.

Especially after Ke Lan's computer was hacked by the crew, he deleted the resources stored in the hard drive. As a result, the girl had no chance to watch actual combat scenes.

"No." Ke Lan flatly refused.

"Then can I join?" Ze Luo asked a more exciting question.

"This is even worse!" Ke Lan suddenly felt that there seemed to be some problem with the way he educated Ze Luo.

"Oh." Ze Luo nodded, turned and walked towards the corridor on the right, which is connected to the study room of the villa, and is also the place where Ze Luo spends most time in the eldest lady's house.

"She shouldn't be able to use her ability to spy, right?" Just when Ke Lan was thinking this, Zofia suddenly reached out her hand and pinched his chest lightly.

This action seemed to urge him.

Ke Lan glanced at her and saw that the blush on the eldest lady's face had spread down her neck...

Ke Lan bit her lip hard, stopped thinking about Ze Luo, and pushed open the ajar door of the bedroom with her knees.

…

(I don’t know how many words have been abridged here.)

…

At the same time, Fleet Zero.

"Why was my return application not approved?" Dr. Renee stared at the agent blocking the hangar door and asked angrily. She looked like a lioness with exploded hair at the moment - As for the young agent who looked at the file box she was holding out of the corner of his eye from time to time, he always felt that the box made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy would be stuck in his face in the next second.

"This is a requirement from above." The young agent said with a grimace, "I have no authority to let you return to the Ark... Not only you, but any member of the institute is prohibited from returning to the headquarters."

"Above? Which one is it? The director of your security bureau or the joint parliamentary group?" Dr. Renee continued to ask. Behind her, there were several researchers in white coats and a dozen Marines on the side. There was a tense confrontation.

"I'm just following the order. Doctor, please don't make things difficult for me anymore," the young agent said.

"But the problem is that I can't contact the headquarters of the institute at all now. Not even...even the joint parliamentary group has rejected my communication request - I have something very urgent now. Please tell me what I should do." Who are you looking for?" Dr. Renee said very quickly, "You must also know that something happened at the institute headquarters. I went back this time just to rescue precious experimental data. Every second you stop me, It’s causing massive losses to Ark—can you afford this responsibility?!”

"I'm just executing the order." The young agent repeated again, "Only the team leader can contact the person above who issued the order."

"What about your team leader?" Dr. Renee suppressed her anger, "Let him come out!"

"Team leader...Team leader, he has been missing for two days." The young agent complained inwardly. If Team Leader Cheng had not disappeared, it would not be his turn to deal with this situation now... The device clearly showed Team Leader Cheng He was still on the battleship, but the other agents in the team couldn't find him at all.

They had searched every place they could find on the entire battleship. Except for those areas where they did not have enough authority to enter, they had searched every corner at least three times. Not to mention the Cheng Dong people, even Not a shadow was seen.

Several agents finally concluded that Team Leader Cheng must be on a secret mission whose whereabouts cannot be revealed, and that this mission was most likely related to Chief Ke Lan - because not only was Cheng Dong missing , even that important figure disappeared.

For the Security Bureau, this kind of thing is not uncommon, so it is impossible for them to bypass the team leader and ask their superiors because of this - even if they did, they would most likely not get a reply.

"Since I don't want you to know about this matter, it means that your authority level is not high enough to know about it." This is one of the instructor's instructions that they have memorized on the first day of employment.

They are just the most basic field agents, and they are very self-aware about the extent of their authority.

Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask... The disappearance of team leader Cheng Dong did not cause any ripples in the Eleventh Field Team. After it was determined that the team leader was following Ke Lan on a special mission, Several agents from the Eleventh Field Team returned to their original posts tacitly.

To put it bluntly, even if team leader Cheng did encounter an "accident", the people above would go beyond the team leader to inform them.

However, a day later, what they were waiting for was not news from Team Leader Cheng, but an order issued from the Security Bureau headquarters at a higher level.

"All personnel affiliated with the research institute on Fleet Zero are prohibited from returning to the Ark. At the same time, all research projects are suspended and personnel are on standby, waiting for follow-up instructions."

The entire content of the order only goes so far, and the people above didn't even disclose the reason - but it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as the source of the order has no mission, these agents will resolutely carry it out.

So that things have developed into the current situation.

"Missing?" Dr. Renee's voice couldn't help but raise a few pitches, "Are you hiding on purpose? In order to prevent us from going back, the Security Bureau really didn't even have the nerve to do this... They even resorted to such tricks!"

"He is really missing... My colleagues and I don't know the whereabouts of Team Leader Cheng." The young agent replied. It was impossible to tell someone like Dr. Renee about carrying out a secret mission. I can only insist that it is "missing".

"If I remember correctly, all of you field agents should have subcutaneously implanted positioning systems provided by the Equipment Department, right? Bring your positioning device over here!" Dr. Renee ordered.

"You have no right to give me orders." The young agent flatly refused. At this time, several other agents from the Eleventh Field Team also received the news and rushed to the hangar.

A total of eight Security Bureau agents, together with a dozen Marines on the battleship, surrounded this group of white coats... Although they did not draw guns, they had non-lethal weapons such as riot shields and electric batons. The equipment is already in hand. According to regulations, in this case, if a conflict breaks out between the two parties, they are qualified to take action against the people of the institute.

Of course, the premise is that a conflict breaks out, and the other party has to take action first - if it is the Security Bureau and the Marines who take action first, then the situation will be very unfavorable to them when they are held accountable.

The young agent who had previously negotiated with Dr. Renee signaled with his eyes to his colleagues who came to support him. The agents immediately ran behind him, raised their riot shields, and together with the Marines, used the shield wall The entrance to the hangar was tightly blocked by a human wall.

"Fortunately, your support was timely." The young agent breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and stood together with his colleagues.

If the opponent doesn't take action and just wants to forcefully rush into the hangar, just use a shield to block them - these researchers are at a disadvantage both in terms of numbers and personal physical fitness. When a few Marines come out, they can knock down these white coats who have been lacking exercise all year round.

"Lao Bei, try to contact the team leader again and see if you can get in touch." The agent turned to the colleague next to him and said, "If they are unwilling to go back, things may end badly."

The people in the institute are not enemies. Not only that, from the perspective of Ark and all mankind, each of them can be regarded as a "very valuable asset". If possible, he still wants to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

But just when the agent named Lao Bei was trying to contact Cheng Dong, a researcher standing behind Dr. Renee suddenly took out a metal can from his white coat and threw it towards the shield wall!

[P.S. Regarding the abridged part... Actually, it was not abridged. I didn’t write it at all. As everyone knows, I am an upright person and never lie.

In fact, Ke Lan and the eldest lady are going to play this year's best game of the year "Two People", believe it or not.

This is a work for all ages, so there will naturally be no discordant content.

Oh, by the way, there may be sharp-eyed or relatively leisurely readers who will find that in addition to the original reader group that can be added with 500 fan points, there is also a meal-adding group under the introduction. As for what the meal-adding group is for, of course it is Come for extra food.

All I can say is that I understand everything.

The current entry threshold for meal-adding groups is tentatively set at 5,000 fan points.

After that, some extra plots, settings and other things I wrote will be thrown into the add-on group... maybe, maybe, probably, maybe there will be a part of the plot where Ke Lan and the eldest lady play online games. 】
