Alien Relic Hunter

I'm going to find him. Asano Akira said.

Are you going to the 'Sick Village' to find him? Ke Lan confirmed to Asano Akira.

Yes. Asano Akira nodded.

The 'Sickness Village' place... is not as simple as you think. At this time, Ivan suddenly interjected, Four years ago, I had a colleague with whom I had a fairly good relationship, in order to study radiation sickness. , followed a mining company's supply ship to the 'sick village'...

Then what? Layton couldn't help but ask.

He has not come back yet, and there is no news. Ivan said solemnly, He seems to have disappeared from the world.

Hiss...couldn't he... Leighton hesitated to speak.

I'm not sure. Ivan shook his head and said, I'm just giving you a heads up... Also, if you decide to go, take me with you.

No matter what, there are still people living in that place... No matter how dangerous it is, can it be as dangerous as in the ruins? Hound said, Brother Asano, don't worry, we will go with you after we take care of things here. Find that person.”

Yes. Ke Lan also nodded, Let's settle the immediate matters first.

Chi Hanfeng has been taken away by the soldiers. With the dual protection of the army and the Security Bureau, at least his personal safety can be guaranteed. As for the other staff of the Dark Crow Club, they are all under control and need to be carried out in detail. Only after investigation and inquiry can we know the final result.

Of course, these things are no longer important to Ke Lan and the others. Mann is dead, and the settlement between Valentina and Chi Hanfeng is resolved... However, when Ke Lan turns his attention back to When Valentina was on her body, she found that she seemed to be out of body. Looking at the blood stains left on the sofa and carpet, she stood there stupidly, motionless.

Valentina? Ke Lan walked over and tried to call her, but got no response.

She...seems something's not right... Ye Yan said cautiously.

I know. Ke Lan nodded, took another step closer, and grabbed Valentina's arm - she didn't resist, Ke Lan simply took this opportunity to pull her out of the private room, and in this pull During the process of pulling, the focus of her eyes never moved away from the pool of blood.

It wasn't until the blood disappeared from sight that Valentina's body trembled violently. She looked at Ke Lan blankly, and then slowly squatted down against the wall.

Do you feel confused? Ke Lan simply sat down cross-legged in front of her, The feeling of revenge is not as satisfying as you imagined, right?

Valentina shook her head, and then nodded hesitantly.

Ke Lan waved to the hound, who immediately understood what he meant, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and handed it over.

Ke Lan passed the cigarette to Valentina. She was stunned for a moment, then took it and took a deep puff.

Thank you, thank you...cough cough cough...

Pull slowly, this is the last one. After you finish smoking, you should quit smoking. A very powerful doctor will come to us in a while. I will ask her to help you take care of your body and find a way to cure your body. Treat those old injuries and sequelae... If you think you will live soon, that's because you haven't received systematic medical treatment. Although it is very expensive, we made a profit in this competition. Quite a few. Ke Lan said.

And this doctor is naturally Sakurai Nai, who insisted on joining the Hunting God Hunting Group that day.

Valentina was stunned, not even noticing that the cigarette butt burned her fingers - after years of fighting pain, her pain nerves have become extremely dull, which is unbearable for most people. The pain, as far as she was concerned, was limited to the level of frowning.

I...I don't know...

Don't know what? Ke Lan stood up.

I don't know...who I will live for for the rest of my life...My only wish has been fulfilled. Although I failed to kill him with my own hands...but...I have no goal...

Valentina paused, lowered her voice and said: Living is too torture... I don't know what's the point of living for people like me...

Idiot. Ke Lan scolded mercilessly and kicked Valentina to the ground. According to the general chicken soup literature or the operation of life instructors, I should tell you at this time that people should live for themselves. , but I know that if I tell you this now, you can’t listen and you can’t understand it at all, so I might as well just do it——”

Ke Lan stretched out his hand to Valentina who fell on the ground: You live to help those one hundred and forty-two people experience life that they have never experienced. Do you understand? Among them, one hundred and forty-one One person is dead, and the remaining one is still in prison waiting for you to get him out in the future.

Valentina's lips were slightly opened, and there was a hint of surprise in her blank eyes.

Do you want to join the God Hunting Group? If there are any major discoveries in the ruins in the future, maybe we can use this as a bargaining chip to trade Major Chi out of prison... After all, he did not commit a heinous crime... …It was just killing someone who deserved to be killed.”

No one is here to help you make a choice now, everything is decided by yourself. Ke Lan looked directly into Valentina's eyes and said.

I...join you. Valentina took hold of Ke Lan's outstretched hand, and the latter pulled her up from the ground with all his strength.

Ke Lan is right, we will definitely have to find a way to fish out Lao Chi later. Hound said from the side, We can't let him really stay in prison until he dies.

The biggest resistance to the matter of retrieving people will probably come from the Adams family. After all, Mann is the only son of the old Adams... Now that the person has been beaten to death by Major Chi, the Adams family can only take out their anger on Major Chi if they want to take revenge. , I have already had an agreement with General Maginot, and Major Chi will be under the custody of both the Security Bureau and the field force. It is said that he is under custody, but in fact it is to protect him to prevent the Adams family from attacking him in prison. Ke Lan said.

At this time, Zofia suddenly walked up behind Ke Lan, took one of Ke Lan's arms, and said in his ear: Maybe the Adams family will not take revenge at all.

Why? Ke Lan looked at Zofia with some curiosity. He didn't even realize that Zofia's entire upper body was leaning in his arms... This posture, from the perspective of others, was simply ambiguous. To the extreme, Valentina, who was closest to the two of them, even took a few steps back and looked away in embarrassment.

As for the hound guy, he patted Layton and Ivan's butts and showed a somewhat lewd smile.

What's going on? We were talking about business just now? Why did Miss Soma suddenly get into Ke Lan's arms? Zhuo Ligetu scratched the top of his head in confusion, This... this is still in the corridor. Come on, isn’t this bad?”

What's wrong? Hound glanced at him and said, Anyway, all the outsiders have left. Come on, let's run away quickly. I don't want to be a shining light bulb.

Several people tiptoed away from Ke Lan. Only Ke Lan himself was still thinking about why the Adams family would not take revenge.

Do you know how old Old Adams is now? Zofia did not wear high heels today, but chose a pair of flat-soled Martin boots, so that her cheek could rest on Ke Lan's shoulder.

How old are you? Ke Lan asked. The Adams family's power is basically in the military and is not well-known in the business world, so Ke Lan knows very little about this family's information.

Ninety-seven years old. Mann was born to his fourth wife when he was in his fifties. He can be regarded as a son of old age, so the old Adams dotes on this son so much... And now, Mann After death, who do you think will be the leader of the Addams family?”

I don't know who it will be, but if you put it like that, it's definitely not Old Adams. Ke Lan thought.

Yes, Old Adams could only rely on the medical cabin to maintain his life a year and a half ago. The waking hours in the day are becoming less and less... If Mann is not dead, it will not be long before the Adams family The power will fall into his hands. But now that he is dead, the happiest people are naturally his uncles and cousins... It is too late for them to thank Major Chi, so how can they take revenge on Major Chi? What’s the means?”

That's right. Ke Lan nodded in agreement.

If this matter were done by another family, no matter how happy those who benefited from Mann's death were, they would still have to do superficial things... After all, blood is thicker than water. In name, the deceased He is one of their tribesmen, and Chi Hanfeng is just an outsider——

A member of the family was killed by an outsider. No matter how fierce the competition within the family is, due to emotions and reasons, this revenge must be avenged...

However, now that the whole incident has been fully disclosed, Mann's reputation has been completely ruined. It is too late for these people to draw a clear line with him, and how can they possibly avenge him...

As for the only person who is willing to avenge Mann...his father, Adams Sr., probably doesn't even know the news that his son was killed...

This saves a lot of trouble. Hey, where are they? Only then did Ke Lan notice that he and Zofia were the only two people left in the corridor.

Maybe you went to eat? Zofia said.

What time is it? Are you going to have dinner? I still have something to tell them... Ke Lan glanced at his watch. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon. There were still two days before dinner. How many hours?

Is it an emergency?

Uh... I'm not in a hurry, it's related to the subsequent actions... Ke Lan said, there are still many details to discuss about the trip to the sick village, although the place is not as dangerous as the high-level ruins, But judging from the information Ke Lan knew, it was definitely not a good place.

If you're not in a hurry, why don't you go shopping with me? Zofia suggested. She came closer again. Ke Lan turned his head away in embarrassment, not daring to look at her closely - he was still wearing his clothes. As for the anti-German suit for driving a mecha, this kind of suit is basically tailor-made and perfectly fits the driver's body shape... If there is any strange reaction, Zofia will notice it in an instant.

Uh... where to go? On the ship? Ke Lan asked. Although the interior of the Zulong super airship is very large, most of them have the same cabins, and the entertainment items that can be provided to passengers are also the same. There are only a handful of them, and Ke Lan really can't think of what there is to see on this boat.

No, I want to go downstairs. Zofia said softly.

Down below? Sandstone ruins?

Well, I have never been to the ruins of Alpha Civilization. The closest she got to the ruins was probably when she was on the Pioneer, but to be precise, Ke Lan didn't know about the underwater city and the How far away was the Pioneer at that time? The ruins seemed to be suspended under the sea, but also seemed to be hidden in another space.

The ruins...what's there to see? Moreover, this ruins has been turned into ruins, and the valuable things inside have been emptied out by hunters and exploration teams long ago... Ke Lan muttered.

Have you ever heard of the ruins of Pompeii on earth? The ruins also have the beauty of ruins. Every weathered rock and every collapsed wall hides a unique story... I have ever thought about it, if I If I hadn't been born into the Soma family, maybe I would have chosen to become a relic hunter.

Relic hunters are not archaeologists, let alone writers or artists... This industry is not as romantic as you described. Ke Lan glanced at Zofia and said slowly, We are tomb robbers and scavengers. , they are robbers, thieves, robbers... Hunters will not appreciate the beauty of the ruins, we just want to save our own lives, and then take as many valuable things in the ruins as possible...

It's normal for people in the upper class to look down on us. Ke Lan did not sigh, but said in a narrative tone. He remembered the look in Lu Che's eyes when he looked at him before, which was hidden in Subconscious prejudice is like the expression a person with mysophobia would subconsciously have when seeing a ragged beggar on the street.

In the past, Ke Lan might have been a little angry, but for some reason, now besides feeling a little funny, he couldn't feel any anger at all.

The elite class at the upper level, the relic hunters at the lower level... and even the poor miners at the bottom suffering from radiation sickness...

They are just bugs in the eyes of another civilization.

Whether it is an insignificant worker ant or the queen ant that rules the entire ant colony, for humans, it is just a matter of stepping on it...

What's wrong with you? Zofia stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ke Lan's eyes, Do you think I look down on you? Then why would I choose you?

Yeah, I haven't been able to figure it out either. Ke Lan said after coming back from his trance. His eyes swept over Zofia's body... He suddenly felt that he was very irritable inside, and he couldn't help but worry about everything. No longer thinking about it, he hugged Zofia and pressed her against the wall of the corridor with a boom.

Huh? Faced with Ke Lan's sudden attack, Zofia did not resist or show any panic. She just glanced at Ke Lan curiously, then stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly. on his lower back.

I don't understand, so I just don't want to think about it anymore, Ke Lan replied.
