Alien Relic Hunter

West 3rd District, No. 94 London Road.

This is a well-known wealthy area in the West Third District. Everywhere you look, there are single-family villas and mansions. Luxurious hovercars worth tens of millions of credit points can be seen everywhere. Even the sidewalks on both sides are made of white marble. Paved - this kind of stone was not uncommon in the old era. In this era, the only way to produce it was to rely on chemical synthesis, and the production cost was horrifyingly high.

But now, several armored vehicles directly blocked the intersection at both ends, and the expensive white marble floor tiles were crushed to pieces by the steel crawlers. A burgundy convertible air-cushion sports car rolled over in front of the roadblock, and the dried dark red blood stains left a long trace on the road.

A man of about thirty years old was lying at the end of the blood stain. His neck was bent back at an angle that a normal person could not achieve. His whole head was almost hanging behind his back. He looked dead. Can't die anymore.

"The deceased is Roger Williams, the second son of United Parliamentarian Sean Williams." A heavily armed Security Bureau agent reported to Ke Lanhui, "When we set up a roadblock, he tried to drive through it. The agents in charge of the interception could only shoot at the vehicle's air cushion device, causing the vehicle to lose balance and roll over. Roger Williams, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown out of his seat and fell to the road. He died on the spot."

"Are you in a hurry to run away?" Looking at the corpse on the ground, Ke Lan frowned - Roger Williams is the actual controller of Williams Logistics Company and one of the masterminds behind the material reselling case. , although the evidence in Ke Lan's hands was enough to eradicate the entire Williams Consortium, seeing that this guy died before being tried, I always felt that he was a little too cheap.

"We found two HAVOC pulse laser rifles, six full energy magazines, and this thing in the trunk of the car." The Security Bureau agent handed Ke Lan a metal box with a "biohazard sign" on it. ——This metal box is a small refrigerated storage box carried by the agents. What is in the box is what was found in the car.

Ke Lan opened the box, and with a burst of white cold air, what appeared in front of him was a disposable syringe in a thickened sealed bag. Through the visible window on the syringe, you can see the filling inside. It is a light blue clear liquid, and the dosage is about two to three milliliters.

"What is this? Are there any samples for testing?" Ke Lan asked casually. The light blue liquid was marked with a biohazard label. He subconsciously thought of the "T virus serum" in the movie "Resident Evil".

"It has been tested and it is highly concentrated Seed of Corrosion cells... and they are cells of the B-type mutant." the Security Bureau agent replied.

"Good guy...what will happen if this thing is injected into the human body?"

"It only takes thirty seconds at the shortest to spawn a corrosive seed in the rapid transformation stage in the infected person's body, and there is a high probability that it will be a Type B mutant."

"That's really similar to the T virus." Ke Lan complained inwardly.

"By the way, how long can this thing be kept?" Ke Lan asked again.

"In a zero-degree environment, cells that have not found a host and failed to condense a 'nucleus' can only survive for about forty-five days at most."

There is only one place on the Ark that can "legally" store this thing, and that is the underground icehouse of the institute. However, the institute has almost been delisted now, and the underground icehouse is completely under the control of the Crisis Management Department. It's impossible to get the cell concentrate of type B mutant from that place.

The shelf life of this thing is one and a half months, which means that the contents of this syringe were extracted and delivered to the Williams family within one and a half months.

At this time, the underground icehouse of the institute has long been blocked. Even if there are moles in the institute, there is no way to steal the cells to them. The only way for the Williams family to obtain the cells of the Seed of Corrosion is That's it - a heretic sect.

According to time calculation, the prophet is probably already planning Alexander's awakening ceremony at this point in time. If Ke Lan hadn't used the projection of the Colossus of Flame to kill the God of Machinery, Ark would have been in dire straits by now.

Some people might take this opportunity to act in harmony with each other and directly rebel...

Although the prophet is dead, the heretical sect has not been completely wiped out, especially those hidden in the Ark. Except for the removal of one Arasaka consortium, the other inner ghosts are deeply hidden and cannot be caught at all. of the telltale.

But it happened that the Williams family took advantage of this special period to commit a big death, which also involved a lot of clues.

Ke Lan was worried about how to find the enemies inside Ark, when the Williams family came to their door.

No matter how hard they calculated, they could not calculate that Ke Lan would become a formal member of the Immortal Crew, and use thunderous means to directly capture Sean Williams, and block all the main members of the Williams family in this building. Inside the mansion.

At this moment, outside the Williams family's mansion, Security Bureau agents wearing dark gray uniforms have surrounded the entire courtyard. Several commandos equipped with light power armor are carrying power breaking hammers, preparing to force a breakthrough. .

"Attention, all units, attention." Ke Lan grabbed the walkie-talkie and said directly on the all-staff channel, "There may be followers of heretical sects inside the target, and the existence of the corrosive seed container and the black bishop cannot be ruled out. Assault. After the operation begins, any resisters will be killed on the spot. All captured targets will be sealed with tape. Once anyone is found chanting prayers, report to me immediately, and everyone will evacuate the courtyard as quickly as possible."

This group of security bureau agents are all elites drawn from various action groups. Everyone knows what the black bishop means. Ke Lan is not worried that someone will shoot and kill someone during the sacrifice. The black bishop causes some uncontrollable situations - for the black bishop, the current default method is to wait for his sacrifice to be completed before killing the summoned monsters...especially on the Ark, in case something happens Winning the jackpot triggered a space-time storm, and I am afraid that even the remaining two-thirds of the hull will be completely destroyed.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the powered door hammer opened the door of the mansion, and four commandos wearing power armor rushed in holding riot shields.

"This is the first assault team. No members of the Williams family were found in the hall. There was only a body wearing a bodyguard uniform lying on the ground." The news from the assault team came back quickly.

"Be careful with that corpse—" Before Ke Lan could finish his words, a burst of gunfire came from inside the house.

"Report! A sudden-transformation corrosion seed broke out from the inside of the body and has been killed. We have no casualties."

"That's good. Pay attention to sealing off the entrances to each room, corridor, and staircase. Advance and search layer by layer. Use heartbeat scanners and thermal infrared images to make sure not to miss any corner." Ke Lan said to the intercom.

It is basically a certainty that the Williams family is connected to the heretic sect, but because of this, what was originally a "relaxing and enjoyable" home raiding mission is likely to turn into a hard battle.

"I hope things won't become like what happened in East Ninth District..." Ke Lan muttered silently.

"It shouldn't be...the difference between the area of ​​East Ninth District and this villa is quite big." A somewhat familiar female voice sounded behind him. Ke Lan looked back and saw that it was the person with whom he had previously cooperated in the molten mine area mission. The leader of the third field team of the Security Bureau, Aya Breya.

"Why are you here too?" Ke Lan was a little surprised.

"I just received news that the Williams family is suspected of having an affair with a heretical sect. I have been asked to bring people to support you." Aya bit her lower lip lightly and looked at Ke Lan with a strange look, "'Pope '……Your Mightiness."

"Hey, it seems you have been promoted?" Ke Lan smiled at her, "The intelligence authority has been greatly improved."

"I am now the Deputy Minister of the Internal Affairs Department of the Security Bureau... In fact, the matter of Representative Williams and his family should be handled by our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Eradicate the rebels, right?" Ke Lan handed her the metal box in his hand, "But you guys came just in time. Things may be more troublesome than we thought. Having more combat power also provides an extra layer of insurance."

"Is this the concentrated type B mutant cell mentioned in the report?" Aya said seriously, "Including bodyguards, nannies, chefs, etc., the number of permanent residents in the main house of the Williams family is about fifteen to twenty. People, if all these people are transformed into Type B mutants, it will indeed be a hard battle."

"That shouldn't be the case. Type B mutants still have very high requirements for containers." Ke Lan shook his head, "Elderly people over sixty years old and children under fourteen years old cannot become qualified containers, so At least half of them can be eliminated.”

"Ten B-type mutants should not be underestimated, especially when the space inside the building is narrow and it is impossible to distance ourselves to take advantage of long-range weapons. A full agent team may not necessarily have one B-type mutant. opponent."

Just when Aya finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the intercom. A commando in power armor smashed the window at the stairwell of the second floor and flew out. The communication signals of others Then everything disappeared.

"You and Layton are a bit similar." Ke Lan couldn't help but said to Aya.

"What?!"

"They are all first-class crow mouths!" After saying these words, he quickly ran towards the commando who fell to the ground.

The man was dead, and the cause of death was a fatal wound to the chest—something ripped open the breastplate of the power armor and crushed the commando's heart.

Before the commando smashed through the glass, he was already a corpse.

"Signs of invasion of Seed of Erosion cells were detected at the wound... It's a type B mutant!" the agent in charge of the autopsy said urgently.

"Strengthen the blockade of the surrounding area and don't let anything leave this courtyard." Ke Lan said as he waved to Asano Akira, who immediately threw a black rectangular box to him.

"You...you can actually see?" Aya glanced at Asano Akira in surprise, and then at Ke Lan.

"He can see, but not with his eyes." Ke Lan opened the box. Inside was a strange-looking firearm. The main body of the gun was a transparent crystal column, and the end of the butt was wrapped in a metal ball the size of a football. Inside the sphere, dozens of slender metal wires extend from the surface of the sphere and wrap around the crystal pillars.

This gun has no magazine, but there are three standard energy crystal slots at the front end of the grip. After Ke Lan inserted three level six crystals into the slots, a layer of soft white light appeared on the crystals. Living inside, and extending along those metal wires into the metal sphere.

The crystal engines of the "Amran-class" transport planes that Ke Lan and the others had flown on only needed two level five crystals to drive, but this strange gun actually required three level six crystals as ammunition. Its power can be imagined. And know.

This is a treasure that Ke Lan found from the warehouse of the Undead Crew Association. According to the records in the file, this "gun" comes from an A-level ruins. The Ark official spent a full 40 million credits to get it from the ruins hunters. replaced it in his hand.

After the Alexander incident, Ke Lan lost the living armor that protected him. In the name of self-defense, he naturally took the gun as his own. In addition, he also took out a gun from the warehouse. A lot of technological creations of Alpha civilization.

Anyway, they are the public property of the crew association. As a member of it, Ke Lan certainly has the authority to use them.

"Akira Asano, let's go."

Putting this special energy gun on his shoulder, Ke Landang walked towards the open door.

"Wait a minute, I'll go too!" At this time, Aya Brea also followed. Her body was covered with a layer of ultra-thin power armor similar to that of "Iron Man", and she also had a beautiful face. It was also covered by an iron-gray face shield.

"As long as you're confident that you won't be a liability."

After saying that, Ke Lan took the lead and rushed into the Williams family's mansion.

"At three o'clock, next to the guardrail on the second floor." With Akira Asano, the "human sonar" at his side, Ke Lan didn't even need to activate "Time Stop" to find the enemy, the latter had already helped him complete the positioning. Ke Lan didn't even look in that direction, he raised his gun and shot!

A ray of inconspicuous white light shot out and instantly hit the monster that was entrenched on the marble carved column and looked 70% similar to the "Licker" in Resident Evil——

There was no violent explosion or dazzling fire, but when the white light came into contact with the type B mutant, the entire monster and the marble pillar that was as thick as two people's arms were silently turned into ashes. .

"Fortunately, this is just a decorative pillar. If it were a load-bearing pillar, I'm afraid the entire dome of the hall would not have collapsed." He raised his head and looked up, but he happened to see two other B-type mutants moving at extremely fast speeds. At such a speed, he climbed along the wall to the ceiling directly above, turned over and threw himself down on the heads of the three of them!
