Alien Relic Hunter

The diameter of the large glass pit is nearly ten kilometers, and the deepest part Ke Lan visually measured is four to five hundred meters deep - the deepest parts of the previous rock ravines were only a hundred meters, and the underground ruins hidden in the rock walls are almost at this depth. . But now, those tunnels and underground laboratories have completely disappeared from this world.

Those sandstones were directly melted in the high temperature of millions of degrees Celsius, and the water or other impurities in them were evaporated in a blink of an eye, and what was left behind was converted into this glass-like material, which was exposed in the sunlight. Under the reflection, it reflects the colorful brilliance.

But it wasn't over yet. Five high-speed bombers quickly flew over the glass pit in an arrow formation, and dense black dots fell from the sky. From Ke Lan's perspective, they were just black dots the size of sesame seeds, but In fact, each black dot is an incendiary bomb with a maximum diameter of 65 centimeters, a central axis length of 1.4 meters, and a weight of 122 kilograms. It is filled with "new solid gasoline" with an improved formula. ... Just one drop of this thing is enough to burn a big hole through the front and back of a person's body.

Hundreds of incendiary bombs were dumped into this large glass pit, a fire curtain hundreds of meters high rose into the sky, and hot air waves hit Ke Lan's face - of course, compared to the nuclear warhead explosion and plasma just now The high temperature generated when the cannon burns the glass, this heat wave can only be regarded as the spring breeze blowing on his face.

Ke Lan did not remove the active armor on his body - anyway, his appearance has been seen by everyone in Fleet Zero. Instead of going back naked now, it is better to maintain this monster-like state... There is a saying, activity The appearance of the armor is actually quite in line with human aesthetics. It is somewhat similar to the heavy armor with exaggerated art styles in fantasy online games, especially the sharp spikes and barbs that look very thorny.

However, Ke Lan has always wanted to complain about this type of armor - even if those heavily armored warriors wear them like this, why are the equipment of many beautiful characters also designed in this style?

If the artists of those games used the same type of armor for men and women, that would be fine, but they still have to make "magic changes" in the style, designing the armor to look like a bikini swimsuit. They can't wait to put all the things on the female characters that can pass the review. All parts of the armor are exposed - the thorny armor and the large areas of exposed white skin do have a strong visual impact and contrast effect, but if such a set of armor really exists in the real world, the wearer can make any number of them His body was already dripping with blood from those sharp thorns and barbs, right?

"But for games, as long as they are enough to be shot, it will be fine. After all, 'the less you wear, the higher your defense'... I must have something wrong with my brain when pursuing realism in a virtual world..." Ke Lan stretched out his hand and put it on his head He tapped his "helmet" twice and strode towards the group of Marines standing in the safe zone in the distance.

The expressions of the Marines seemed a little nervous. Although no one pointed their guns at Ke Lan, many of them had their fingers tightly pressed against the trigger guard. There were even a few who ignored the discipline in the army. Whispering - no need to think about it, the content of their discussion must be the strange dark red armor on Ke Lan.

"Is it... is it Mr. Ke Lan?" Major General Alexander, who was dressed almost the same as other Marines, stood up and asked.

Although he knew that the person in front of him was probably the too young "No. 1" of Fleet Zero, he still felt a little uneasy when the other person appeared in this image.

"It's me." Ke Lan nodded. The visor on his face split into several pieces and then penetrated under the skin. He noticed that after seeing his face, whether it was Alexander or those land warriors, The tension and vigilance in the eyes of the team members have eased a lot, and their tense bodies have also relaxed.

"This..." Major General Alexander was about to ask something, but as soon as he said the word "this", he paused.

Among the officers and soldiers of Fleet Zero, he should be the one who knows the details of Ke Lan best. He naturally also knows that anything that requires Ke Lan to personally take action must be the highest level secret - the previous sentence was often criticized by the undead crew. What members of the association used to deal with Ke Lan is also very suitable for the major general:

Things that you should know will naturally be revealed to you, and things that you shouldn’t know will be useless even if you ask.

Although the major general's heart is really itching, but he has reached this level and is entrusted with such an important task, he can still keep his mouth shut.

Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, and don't ask about things you shouldn't know...even if you know them, treat them as if you don't know them.

Only in this way can the seat under the buttocks sit securely.

Ke Lan looked at the slight expression on the major general's face, coughed, and said close to his ear: "The heretical sect kidnapped and killed Dr. Renee, and used Dr. Renee's research results to create a A new type of biological weapon, the recovery ability of that thing is too strong, I can’t kill it, I can only call the fleet’s heavy firepower.”

"I understand, I understand!" Major General Alexander nodded quickly, "Then how do I report this matter? Does it need to be registered within the fleet?"

"Anyway, the first problem has been solved. Let everything follow the fixed procedures." Ke Lan glanced at Alexander and found that the other person was using the corner of his eye to glance at the "active armor" on his body, so he asked directly: "Are you Are you curious about my equipment?"

"Yes... ah no, I'm not curious." Major General Alexander immediately looked away and said confidently.

"Actually, it's just a kind of high-tech power armor, but its appearance is rather exaggerated." Ke Lan patted the other party's shoulder kindly, "If any of the soldiers feel strange, just explain it to them like this."

"clear!"

Ke Lan didn't want to explain too much about this. As for the confidentiality, he left it to the guys from the Undead Crew Club to deal with the headache.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Major General Alexander's attitude was very respectful - as an Ark executive who knew that the undead crew would exist, he knew very well how powerful the people who were associated with this organization would be... Even though he The general star on the shoulder is almost unattainable in the eyes of civilians and soldiers, but in the eyes of the Undead Crew Association, there is actually not much difference between a general and a soldier.

"Don't disband the search team yet. With the bombing area as the center, conduct a radial search in all directions... In addition, establish a blockade in the surrounding area to prevent any unrelated people from approaching - whether it is heretical sects, exiles or hunters from the Ark, Mercenaries, even people from the field troops, do you want to be let in?"

"Didn't you just say that Dr. Renee has been killed by people from the heretical sect? Then what are we searching for...?"

"The remains of that monster." Ke Lan said seriously, "Even if it is a drop of blood or a strand of hair... as long as such things are found around the bombing area, they must be reported immediately."

"Wreckage?" Major General Alexander's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but look over Ke Lan's shoulder and towards the large glass pit in the distance. It was hard for him to imagine that under such a bombardment, the monster could still remain. What wreckage...

Could it be that the thing underneath... is a primitive species similar to Leviathan?

That’s not right either! If it was a prehistoric species, it should not be able to solve it with such firepower alone.

"Theoretically, there shouldn't even be any debris left in that thing, but for the sake of safety, it's better to be cautious." Ke Lan said, "I'm afraid that there will be tiny tissue fragments during the first round of bombing. If it is lifted high into the sky and then carried far away by the wind, the situation will be troublesome..."

"Is that thing... very dangerous?" Alexander then asked, "Do we need to equip the soldiers with biological and chemical protective equipment?"

In Alexander's opinion, the monster Ke Lan mentioned must be completely dead. But since Ke Lan cares so much about the remains of this monster, maybe even the remains of this monster are dangerous - when he thought of this, Alexander naturally thought of "seeds of erosion", "alien viruses" and the like. thing, and if the soldiers were accidentally infected during the search, things might only get worse.

"It's best to match it." Ke Lan nodded in agreement. Alexander's suggestion added a lot to his image in Ke Lan's mind - a person who can notice every detail like this is It's worth entrusting him with the responsibility.

"To be honest, I don't know the specific danger level of this thing, but it has a very strong proliferation ability. As long as one cell survives, it will recover in a short time. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So that's it!" A flash of surprise flashed in Alexander's eyes, and he nodded solemnly, "Then you really need to send someone to search the surrounding area."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll go back to the fleet first. In addition, if you are short of manpower or need technical support, you can find the people above yourself... I don't like dealing with those guys. Just like the Riddler, he can't even speak a human word."

"Okay." Alexander's eyes twitched suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead - Hearing Ke Lan describe the people of the Undead Crew in this way, he was almost frightened to death... But this has never happened. Another angle proves Ke Lan's ability: a guy who can complain about the crew and still be fine is obviously not something that ordinary people can afford to offend.

…

…

After leaving all the butt-wiping matters to Major General Alexander, Ke Lan put on a Marine combat uniform and boarded the plane sent by the fleet to pick him up.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Ke Lan was happy - the two pilots flying the plane this time happened to be the two people who drove the transport plane in the last "stewardess incident".

Ke Lan kept his promise afterwards and only fired Colonel Roland and several of his officers who participated in the incident. As for the two pilots, he did not hold any responsibility and just transferred them to On top of another battleship.

I just didn't expect such a coincidence that the plane that came to pick me up this time was actually driven by the two of them.

Ke Lan walked to the cockpit very familiarly, picked up the water glass placed next to the driver's seat, and drank all the water in it.

The edge of the bombing zone was no different from an oven. Ke Lan felt that all the water in his body had been evaporated. Now even if he was given a ten-liter bucket of drinking water, he felt that he could drink it all in one breath.

"Sir, sir, this is my cup..." Just when the lieutenant wanted to remind Ke Lan, he was slapped hard on the arm by his companion. The latter immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Sir, if you are thirsty, there is something in the cabin behind. There are drinks in the freezer, including wine, tea, coffee and juice!”

"Okay, I'll get it myself." Ke Lan nodded and patted the two of them lightly on the shoulders, "It's a coincidence that you two have met again."

"Uh... It's a coincidence that we were specially sent to pick you up. Colonel Yevgeny said... There are so many pilots in the entire fleet, but the two of us are the most familiar with you." The captain who just interrupted his companion smiled bitterly. Then he said, "We haven't had time to thank you for exempting us from responsibility last time... Otherwise, the two of us may not be able to stay in the army."

"I know that's Colonel Roland's order, and there's nothing you can do about it. But next time something like this happens, remember to report it." Ke Lan said.

"To tell you the truth, it's not that we don't want to report this kind of thing, but that... sigh." The pilot captain sighed heavily and hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me, I won't mind." Ke Lan leaned against the door frame of the cab and said while drinking the carbonated drink he had just taken out of the freezer.

"The reason why we didn't dare to report it was because at that time... we didn't know what kind of person you were."

Although the pilot spoke very implicitly and euphemistically, Ke Lan understood what he meant.

"I see... You are worried that I am actually good at this, but reporting it will ruin my 'good deeds', so you choose to remain silent, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's great that you understand!" the pilot responded hurriedly, "As for those bastards installing cameras on the plane, we really don't know... We were not originally flying that plane to pick him up. Your mission was received only an hour before departure. If we knew that someone installed this thing on the plane, we would never continue to remain silent!"

"The ground crew responsible for inspecting the aircraft has been sent to prison. Judging from his confession, you did not know anything about it." Ke Lan nodded, "But there is one thing I am curious about. Something like this... I am Does it mean that things like 'bribery' happen very frequently?"

"It's not high, but we don't dare to bet." The pilot said honestly, "Those big shots, even if they don't accept bribes,... they won't do what you did..."

"Like me? It means making things bigger, right?"

"Well..." the pilot's voice was a little lower. "Even if they refuse, they will treat it as if it has never happened... After all, we are all in the same system. We can't see each other without looking up. If we break up, It’s not good for anyone. But if we encounter a big shot like that, who wants to take advantage of it, and a good thing is ruined because of our report, I’m afraid we’ll suffer a lot afterwards.”

"I almost understand...Although those rat droppings have stinked the whole porridge, those who choose to remain silent are actually the culprits of this situation."

When the water is clear, there are no fish. Ke Lan knows that it will be very difficult for him to change this situation... but at least within his Zero Fleet, he will never allow such a thing to happen again.
