Alien Relic Hunter

Large-caliber machine gun bullets continuously hit the giant shield, and the huge impact forced Ke Lan to slow down his progress - it felt as if a large truck was constantly hitting him. If it weren't for the support of the living armor, Ke Lan would have been thrown away by this force.

In contrast, the giant shield that directly withstood the impact was not as embarrassed as he was - the shield surface of the bloody shield was not rigid, but had a shape called "non-Newtonian fluid".

The so-called "non-Newtonian fluid" refers to a fluid that does not satisfy Newton's experimental laws of viscosity... Of course, many people may feel confused after hearing this statement, but in fact, many substances that can be seen everywhere in real life, All are non-Newtonian fluids. What is most closely related to human beings is the blood that is constantly flowing in the body.

Viscous plasma is a very typical non-Newtonian fluid.

The moment the blood-colored giant shield is impacted by the warhead, it will transform from its original solidified state into a soft and flexible fluid state, wrapping the entire warhead - the biggest feature of non-Newtonian fluids is that Its viscosity will change with the change of shear rate. To use a Chinese proverb to describe it, that is:

“Whenever you are weak, you become weak; when you are strong, you become strong.”

Coupled with the sandwich structure inside the giant shield that imitates composite armor, these warheads completely stagnated before they reached half the depth after being shot into the shield, and then "spit" out like melon seeds, and the shield surface instantly reappeared. Recover as before.

Even if the hijacker's firepower doubled, it would not be able to hurt Ke Lan behind the shield.

Against the opponent's fierce fire, Ke Lan moved forward step by step - this is not an exaggerated rhetorical method, but a true description: every step Ke Lan takes will leave a mark on the metal cabin floor. The footprints were about half an inch deep... Only in this way would he not be pushed back by the dense rain of bullets.

It took Ke Lan a full five minutes to reach the end of the ten-meter-long passage.

He directly blocked the muzzle of the heavy machine gun with his huge shield, and then, under the horrified eyes of the gunman, he waved his shield and knocked him to the ground.

A crisp sound of bones being crushed came from the underground of the giant shield. The hijacker died without even remembering to scream. Then, a large number of tentacles emerged from the bottom of the giant shield. He rushed towards Ke Lan with all his teeth and claws.

But Ke Lan's movements were faster - his arm penetrated the giant shield directly, grabbed the "core" of the Seed of Corrosion, and crushed it directly!

The corrosive seeds that had lost their core suddenly stopped. After a brief period of stiffness, the tentacles softened and quickly became necrotic and decayed into fishy pus.

And the blood of the false god contained in the broken "core" was naturally absorbed by the living armor.

The erosion seed parasitic in the body of this heavy machine gunner seems to be a mutant species. The "nutrients" provided by the mutant species to the active armor are obviously much stronger than the common "ordinary species".

Several other hijackers roared and screamed hysterically, holding the trigger tightly with their fingers, constantly pouring bullets on Ke Lan's body - but the Zero-1 assault rifles in their hands could not penetrate Ke Lan at all. The "weakened version" of Lan's living armor.

In just a few seconds, Ke Lan had killed these people—along with the monsters parasitic in their bodies.

Ke Lan will not show any mercy to these people. From the moment they became vessels, their remaining time was running out... and when they killed innocent people, Ke Lan no longer regarded them as "human beings".

They are the traitors of the Ark and the eternal enemies of mankind. They regard themselves as "evolvers" who have obtained the power of God, but few people know that the prophet only regards them as pawns that can be abandoned at any time.

Even their own leader didn't treat them as human beings, so why should Ke Lan give them unnecessary mercy.

There were more than a dozen hijackers blocking the cabin door... or rather heretic sect members. Each of them had automatic weapons, and at the very least, these weapons were 10mm caliber Zero-1 assault rifles—— Whether it was equipment, firepower or numbers, the crisis management officers on this plane were at an absolute disadvantage.

Ke Lan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, Lin Qiming didn't take action before he broke into the plane. Otherwise, they would all have died in the passage outside.

Not only were these dozen members of the heretical sect equipped with firearms, but each of them was a vessel inhabited by the seeds of erosion, without exception. After absorbing all the seeds of erosion in these people, Ke Lan clearly felt The power of the living armor has increased a bit.

"There are nearly fifty 'containers' in this group of hijackers alone... With so many 'containers', are they always lurking inside the Ark?" Ke Lan had some doubts in his heart - after passing through the security system more than a dozen times, After the investigation organized by the bureau, the number of remaining heretical sect believers on the Ark has been reduced a lot. Although the "hidden ones" in high positions have not been removed yet, there are no more low-level believers left. In order to deal with those who were The church members were arrested, and the Security Bureau even had to build three new prisons in the wilderness.

What about ordinary churchgoers, let alone the "container" of the internal parasite's corrosive seed... With the development of technology, the testing procedure for the corrosive seed container has become even simpler than testing for HIV, and no blood test is required. Just use a special device to look at the pupils, and you can confirm whether there are any parasites of erosion in the body.

With the help of this brand-new detection method, the Security Bureau was able to complete full-person screening again and again in those blocks with a mixed population and a highly mobile population. Those "containers" that usually hide in slums and some gray areas were picked up one after another. Come out - these people will not be sent to prison. The outcome waiting for them is either to be executed on the spot, or... to be sent to a research institute to become experimental material for those lunatics.

There will definitely be fish that slip through the net, but not many... There are nearly fifty fish that slip through the net, which is absolutely impossible to happen.

Under the complete monitoring system and high-intensity screening, it is difficult for these "containers" to find a place on the Ark... Nearly fifty "containers" are lurking on the Ark without being discovered. If this news is confirmed If so, the first thing the security bureau official in charge of this job would probably do is draft a resignation report.

Are these hijackers coming from the wilderness?

No, if they are exiles from the wilderness, then they should be black households without legal status. Black households cannot enter Yong'an Port - let alone enter the airport, it is impossible to even get close. However, except for a few security gates at the airport entrance, no other facilities were damaged, and no reports of abnormal conditions were reported at the security checkpoints on several roads near Yong'an Port.

In other words, before entering the airport, this group of hijackers all held a "legal identity certificate."

To handle false identities for so many people in a short period of time, only the Security Bureau, Crisis Management Department and the Undead Crew Club have the ability.

If you want to keep the information absolutely confidential, then the first two organizations can be eliminated. In this way, only the Undead Crew Association is left.

Is there really an insider within the crew?

No... regardless of whether there was a mole within the crew association, Ke Lan suddenly remembered an omission, which was enough to overturn all his previous guesses.

People who make a living in the wilderness, due to various factors such as climate environment and radiation, will not have the delicate skin of the residents of the Ark - just like the priestess Ke Lan met in the exile camp.

These hijackers disguised as flight attendants and the priestess who died tragically... they were all people who had lived on the Ark for a long time!

If a person has rough skin, a lot of sunburn or frostbite scars, or even radiation sickness, you can't tell whether he is an exile or a legal resident of the Ark - because among the latter , there are also many people whose jobs require them to be exposed to the wilderness environment for a long time; but the converse is different. A woman with tender skin and delicate appearance will definitely not be an exile who lives in the wilderness all year round. .

No matter how stunning the beauty is, her beauty will be greatly reduced if she lives in the wilderness for three to five years. The erosion of the skin by the harsh environment cannot be reversed with skin care products and cosmetics, let alone the effects of exiles. A living condition of struggling to survive.

The origins of this group of people are very problematic.

But before returning to the Ark, even if Ke Lan knew they had questions, he couldn't find the answers.

"Sigh... let's finish the work at hand first."

Ke Lan glanced at the cockpit door that was just around the corner and stretched out his hands.

The nearly ten centimeter-thick metal hatch was cut open like a piece of cardboard under the sharp claws of the living armor. Ke Lan ducked through the cut hole and walked into this aircraft. Said, the cockpit appears extremely spacious.

Thanks to the size of the Hercules transport aircraft, this cockpit is not like the cockpit of an airplane, but a bit like the bridge of an empty ship.

The front end of the cockpit is a hemispherical display screen - although there are no windows, the real-time scene outside can be accurately displayed on this screen. If Layton were here, he would definitely tell Ke Lan that this kind of The technology was developed from the full-circle cockpit of mechas, but because of its high cost, few flying vehicles adopt this design.

Most aircraft still use the observation mode of transparent portholes and radar, while those fully enclosed cockpits use a combination of AR + VR to minimize costs as much as possible.

But when it comes to visual effects, the approach of covering most of the cockpit with a screen is more shocking.

There were four people in the cockpit—three, to be precise, and a body.

The seats of the two pilots were set at the junction of the screen and the floor. The two people sitting in the seats were concentrating on controlling the aircraft, ignoring Ke Lan who was intruding into the pilot. Not far from the driver's seat, there was A body was kneeling face down.

The hands and feet of the corpse were tied up, and the head was on the ground. There was a black hole in the back of the head. The blood and hair flowing out of the hole were condensed together - this person had obviously been dead for a while.

Judging from his attire, he should be Captain Lawrence, the second missing member of the crew.

Ke Lan originally thought that this captain would be a member of a heretical sect like Longchuan Nozomi, but now it seems that he was wrong.

The last remaining person stood on the edge of the cockpit, staring straight at the intruder Ke Lan.

This was a young Asian man, wearing the uniform of an airport attendant, but at this moment, he found a large black robe from somewhere and draped it over the uniform.

"Are you the black bishop?" Ke Lan looked at him without fear.

"Since you know my identity, aren't you afraid?" The other party's expression was a little strange. He looked at Ke Lan up and down, his eyes full of doubts - obviously, Ke Lan's living armor had caused him a lot of damage. Shocking, a character like this should not appear in this action.

"Do you think I will be scared?" Ke Lan pointed to the screen hanging on the roof of the first floor cabin, "There are surveillance cameras outside. You should have seen how those of your men were chopped down by me. Kill them... If you don't want to become like them, my suggestion is to give up resistance and surrender as soon as possible, and I can guarantee your life safety."

"Guarantee my life safety?" The black-clothed bishop suddenly sneered, "Do you mean sending me to the institute to be made into a half-dead specimen by those demons in white coats?"

"I can't help it if you think so. But I think you are different from the 'vessels' that are parasitized by the corrosive seeds... Your body is no different from that of humans. What you have mastered is just a method. A way to summon power from a certain being...if I'm not mistaken, it's a 'language', right?"

"You know a lot." The black bishop nodded, "Then you should also know that no one who can receive this kind of gift will betray the great god."

"Okay." Ke Lan nodded, "Then stop talking nonsense. I don't have time to argue with you. Hurry up and use all your big moves. I promise I won't interrupt you."

Ke Lan's cheerfulness made the black-clothed bishop stunned for a moment, but then his expression became serious again: "Foolish guy, do you really think so...to face His majesty?"

"Yes, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Ke Lan nodded.
