Alien Relic Hunter

According to the description of the captured instructor, this is the only way to the basement... and in this situation, unless Ke Lan and Aya can drill a hole in the fusion body, there is no way to reach the basement. .

Wait a minute...drill a hole?

Ke Lan couldn't help but think of a cold joke he had seen before, saying that a vault had the strongest security doors and windows in the world. Even if the robbers blasted the door directly with a cannon, they would not be able to open it... However, in the end, As a result, a group of gangsters dug a hole in the masonry wall, bypassed the "Maginot Line"-like security gate, and stole all the gold in the vault.

"Aya! Can you dig a tunnel next to the wall? Let's go directly through the wall to avoid this monster." Ke Lan said to Aya, "If the main load-bearing structure in the structural diagram has not changed , this wall should not be the main load-bearing wall, even if it is completely smashed, the building above will not collapse. "

"I'll try..." Aya took a deep breath and punched the hard wall.

"boom!!"

There was a loud noise accompanied by smoke, dust, splashing and gravel everywhere. Ke Lan took a closer look and saw that this punch actually smashed a circular pit with a diameter and depth of half a meter in the wall, even the inside of the concrete. The steel bars were smashed and deformed.

Aya's fingertips spurted out a stream of blue-purple flames. With a single stroke, all the exposed steel bars were cut off. Then, she waved her fist at the circular pit again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A tunnel just big enough for one person to pass through was opened up. Aya opened the way in front, and Ke Lan followed closely behind.

Seeing that there was a way to bypass the fusion larvae, the men in black also got into the tunnel.

With a thought in his mind, Ke Lan shouted to Aya: "Destroy the thin wall on one side and merge this tunnel with the passage outside!"

"Got it!" Aya's body sank. The power center of the cybernetic body was fully activated. An iron mountain hit the thin wall on one side. Suddenly, there were only a few centimeters left on the tunnel wall. There are countless cracked lines, and they are constantly expanding.

Ke Lan turned around and kicked out the men in black who were following him - he kicked them sideways. The men in black who entered the tunnel directly smashed through the shaky thin wall on one side of the tunnel and hit them. into the arms of the fusion body outside.

By opening up the tunnel and the passage outside, not only can the fusion body be used to eliminate the chasing men in black, but after the fusion body continues to expand, it will also block the artificial tunnel opened by Aya. Stop these men in black.

The two quickly bypassed the passage blocked by the fusion body. After Ke Lan jumped out of the passage, Aya punched back and directly destroyed the newly opened tunnel.

But even if she didn't do this, the fusion body's insanely long body would squeeze into this tunnel, completely blocking the back path with deformed and disordered fat, muscles, and bones.

"We have to hurry up! The appearance of these men in black here means that the mastermind behind the scenes has been alerted. I'm worried that it will destroy the 'BOSS' body!" Ke Lan increased his speed to the extreme, and his whole body became direct An afterimage was created. Aya flew directly up, with multiple thruster nozzles protruding from her waist and abdomen, flying quickly close to the ground.

The two of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the basement. Akira Asano, holding a knife in one hand, was guarding the entrance to the dark hole like a door god. At his feet were piles of corpses of men in black.

"No one has gone in, right?" Ke Lan glanced at the glass door at the entrance to the basement - the door leaf and door lock were in perfect condition, and there was no sign that it had been forcibly broken open.

It seems that no one has entered the basement - according to the captured instructor's explanation, except for the two of them, no one else in the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce is qualified to enter the basement. If there are guards who want to wake up "BOSS" "Then the first step he has to do is to use violent means to break open the tempered glass door.

This door is like the membrane. As long as it is not broken, it means that no one has entered.

Although based on modern medical standards, it is not easy to repair that membrane, but from a practical point of view, the whole process did not leave them any time to perform surgery... that is, to repair the door.

It was Aya who opened the door. She just lightly covered the glass with her prosthetic palm. The next second, the ultrasonic waves emitted from her palm instantly shattered the entire door.

Akira Asano was still responsible for guarding the entrance, while Ke Lan and Aya stepped over the broken glass on the ground and entered the basement of the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce Building.

Due to electromagnetic signal interference, their connection with the outside world has been completely disconnected at this time. Ke Lan doesn't know what the situation is outside... But right now, their only choice is to fight quickly.

As long as you can grab the bionic body, you will be victorious.

Following the route provided by the captured instructor, the two rushed towards the "BOSS" "bedroom" at full speed. Along the way, alarms were constantly triggered, dazzling red light filled the entire corridor, and various automatic defenses Facilities popped up from the ceiling, walls and underground, and hundreds of aiming lasers shot out from all angles, chasing the two people's high-speed moving figures...

About 80% of the attacks fell into the air... Automatic defense facilities also have limits, just like the anti-missile system in the old era. If the missile is fast enough, it will be so fast that even the anti-missile system cannot react. If the anti-missile missile cannot catch up, then the anti-missile system will be useless to this missile.

As for the remaining 20% ​​of weapons that could threaten the two of them, they were destroyed by Aya the moment they emerged.

"Right in front!" Ke Lan had already seen the sign saying "No one is allowed to enter." This is the bedroom of "BOSS"...or in other words, the "warehouse" used by the mastermind to store bionic bodies!

But the other party didn't seem to consider that the Chamber of Commerce headquarters might be invaded. The outer wall of such an important room is only a layer of one-way perspective glass with the most basic bulletproof capabilities, let alone Aya who is covered in cutting-edge weapons. It's a top-level combat robot. Even an ordinary Security Agency agent can blow it open with a piece of C4.

Aya did not activate any weapons, but directly hit the glass wall with her body, and Ke Lan also jumped in.

The two people who entered the "bedroom" happened to see a tall and thin figure slowly crawling out of a device that looked like a medical cabin.

"No, it's too late!" Ke Lan was shocked, and their steps were still a little slower... "BOSS", wake up!

The tall and thin figure turned around and looked at the two of them. It was a very ordinary male face. Except for the extremely pale skin, it was the type that would be drowned directly when thrown into a sea of ​​people. This face had even been It's so ordinary that it doesn't leave any impact at first glance - it has no special features, which is its biggest feature.

"Stop him—"

Before Ke Lan could finish his words, an extremely strange and mocking smile appeared on this featureless, mediocre male face - the next second, his entire head seemed to have been struck by a large-caliber weapon. It exploded like a hit.

The headless corpse fell on its back with a muffled sound.

"Grass!"

Ke Lan couldn't help but curse, but he didn't feel very frustrated - the body structure of bionic people is very different from that of real people. Their main control systems, including CPU chips, are located where the spine is interrupted. Apart from some sensory organs and vocal organs, the head does not have many important parts... This is like a famous quote in Gundam: "It's just that the main monitor is broken."

The fallen headless corpse did not continue to self-destruct. Thick, fishy-smelling crimson liquid slowly overflowed from the torn neck and flowed on the floor.

Ke Lan felt something was wrong.

There is indeed "blood" in the bionic human body, but this "blood" is actually the lubricant and hydraulic fluid in mechanical parts, pure industrial products... Even if this thing smells, it should be the smell of engine oil, not this blood-like smell. General fishy smell.

Although it is technically possible to make this kind of liquid have a bloody smell that is difficult to distinguish between real and fake, in practice it is not necessary.

Even for the most picky customers, the bionic man only needs to be realistic in appearance. No one would choose to stab the bionic man and then smell the "blood" flowing out of it...

Unless this bionic man adopts a large number of biochemical structures - such as cultivating muscles on the mechanical skeleton, transplanting dermis, etc... But even for this kind of bionic man, the amount of bleeding will not be so large.

The biochemical body is just a decoration. What drives the bionic body is the hydraulic device inside the skeleton and the power furnace connected to it, not the muscles attached to it.

Not only that, users of bionic humans often have to maintain and replace these biochemical bodies, because these biochemical bodies do not have a long lifespan and are very easily damaged.

To use a sentence that Layton often utters, it is "flesh and blood are weak, but machines are soaring."

For pragmatists like the Undead Crew, they would not choose to implant a large amount of biochemical tissue into the body of a bionic person - whether it is the bionic body of Demeter, a middle-aged beautiful woman, or Aphrodite. Delote's bionic body can almost be called the pinnacle of human appearance. The two bionic bodies also have very few biochemical tissues. The skin is made of a soft material developed based on silicone, and the touch is smooth. There is no difference between real skin, but if you cut this layer of skin with a knife, it will not bleed. You can only see the elastic filler underneath that is used to replace fat.

And the bionic body of "Justice" Themis was made directly from alloys and polymers. It didn't even bother to cover it with a "dummy skin", so that when Ke Lan saw "her" for the first time , even got the other person’s gender wrong.

As a bionic body used to control the remnants of a heretic sect, the requirements are actually very low - at least it needs to look like a human being.

Of course, even if it doesn't look very human, that's fine.

Anyway, what those believers believe in is not human.

Ke Lan held his breath and walked to the body.

He squatted down, stretched out two fingers, and pushed away the remaining pieces of flesh stuck to his neck.

It's real meat... not some stuffing made of polymers. Just pinch it with your fingers, and blood will immediately seep out of the meat.

The tendons that had lost their elasticity were pulled out from the gaps in the muscles, and several major arteries shrank into the flesh. Thick blood was still pouring out of the holes.

The broken cervical vertebrae exposed the white bone surface, and Ke Lan could even feel the sticky medulla inside.

This is a human being, not an android.

Ke Lan was a little surprised... Could there be something wrong with the direction of his reasoning?

However, the special pass for the convoy transporting weapons to the attackers can only be issued by members of the Undead Crew, and it requires the joint signature of three members rather than one person alone... This means that there must be an insider within the Undead Crew.

Without the cover-up and concealment of the insider, it would have been impossible for this group of remnants of the heretical sect to continue this crazy biological and chemical weapons experiment inside the Ark.

Moreover, if there is no inner ghost, what explanation will be given to those men in black outside?

The "BOSS" of the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce is a human being, not an android. This has no direct relationship with the result of the inference... It's just that since he is a living person, why does he spend most of his time sleeping? Woolen cloth?

If it is a bionic man, it can be explained by the reasons for daily maintenance and equipment maintenance. It can even be considered that the insider has reduced the frequency of use of the bionic man as much as possible in order not to expose himself... But if he is a living person , how to explain this?

Narcolepsy?

No, no, no... Ke Lan shook his head vigorously.

This person is indeed a living person, but he is not a natural human being in the true sense, but a similar person to the men in black outside.

He is a replicator. It doesn't matter whether he is a β-type replicator, or a γ or Δ replicator... what matters is the means of controlling him.

The brains of the clones will be implanted with chips during the fetal stage. The members of the Undead Crew will not only be able to observe the perspective of these clones through the chip, issue orders to the clones, and even remotely control the clones... This kind of operation is called The risk of discovery is far less than for androids.

What he just wanted to blow up was not his own head, but the "remote control chip" hidden in his brain.

As for the remaining headless corpse, it has no value.

The clue was broken again.

"What's wrong?" Aya noticed the change in the expression on Ke Lan's face and asked worriedly.

"He was tricked... This man is a puppet. The chip that controls him should be in his brain. But now that this guy's brain has exploded, the chip has probably been burned to ashes."
