Alien Relic Hunter

Hehe...hiss... Faced with this naked ridicule, the mohawk not only did not get angry, but instead grinned strangely. It was as slender as a snake letter and had a fork at the front. The tongue came out of his mouth and quickly retracted.

Are you hunters...hehe...or prey? Mohawk jumped off the table and walked towards Ke Lan and the others.

Dana! However, at this moment, Benson suddenly stopped him, Don't mess around on the transport ship, it will bring trouble to the consortium.

Tch... boring! The guy named Dana suddenly showed a very disappointed look on his face. After making a very mocking gesture towards Ke Lan and the others, he turned around and returned to his seat.

Benson glanced at Layton, who had already drawn his gun, and said with some disdain: We are not the kind of bastards living in the wilderness. We are not going to do anything here. You don't need to be so nervous.

Bah, if you hadn't stopped this skinny monkey, I would have punched a hole in his forehead by now. Layton put away his gun and extended his two middle fingers towards the hunters of the Aurora Consortium.

The transport ship had already started, and the propulsion engine made a huge roar. A strong push came from the rear of the ship, which just interrupted the conflict that was about to escalate again.

The shock-absorbing system of this transport ship... to be honest, it's really not that good... Leighton tightly grasped the armrest of the chair and said with a frown.

This is not space. If you want to get rid of the gravity of Alpha Star and fly into the sky, you still need a lot of propulsion, especially during the take-off stage.

The entire passenger cabin tilted over. That was because the transport ship raised its bow and began to raise its height... Generally speaking, warships equipped with anti-gravity devices can achieve smooth vertical takeoff and landing, but the conditions of this transport ship It is not comparable to a battleship that embodies all the latest technological achievements. It can only use the reaction force of the jet thruster to launch itself into the sky like a rocket from the old era. After reaching a certain height, it can then open its air wings and fly with the help of airflow.

Finally, the transport ship reached the predetermined height, the hull angle changed to horizontal again, and the cabin finally became stable.

Ke Lan, have you noticed that the guy named Dana just now...

Well, in addition to his tongue, his neck and wrists have tiny scales... He should not be a common biochemically modified person, but a genetically modified person.

Genetic modification is a very common surgery on Ark, but genetic modification is different. It is a technology that is not yet fully mature. The failure rate and death rate are higher than those of high-level biochemical modification. Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will not be successful after undergoing it. The natural life span of genetically modified people will also be greatly shortened, and few people can live beyond the age of thirty-five.

This Dana must have undergone this kind of genetic modification, inserting a gene fragment from a snake creature into the original human gene, which resulted in such a mutation effect.

This technology was once considered a forbidden technique. It was not until humans discovered Alpha Planet that, catalyzed by a strong sense of crisis, control was gradually relaxed. However, despite this, there are still very few people who accept genetic modification.

Genetically modified people are not necessarily more powerful than biochemically modified people, but they require lower costs - and many biological companies are willing to provide genetic modification services for free. Compared with precious experimental data, The resources required for surgery are completely worthless.

Those who are willing to accept this kind of transformation are often the desperate poor or terminally ill patients. The former want to obtain powerful power for free and make a living through it, while the latter are already dying and want to rely on this kind of transformation. The only way to survive is to survive.

According to non-public data from the black market, in the past fifty years, approximately more than 10,000 people have undergone genetic modification. Among them, only a few hundred people have been successfully modified and survived for more than a year after the operation.

I didn't expect that they would actually accept a genetically modified person to join the team... Zhuoligetu said with a hint of disgust. Due to various inexplicable reasons, most genetically modified people have very weird tempers. Some are moody, some are cruel and murderous, and perverts and lunatics abound... No normal person would be willing to spend more time with them, let alone treat them as teammates.

They are all cannon fodder anyway. They are probably used as disposable consumables. Hound raised his eyebrows and said.

No, boss...that Dana should be the core figure of their advance team this time. Liao Zilang, who had been observing silently, suddenly said this.

Why? Ke Lan and Hound asked at the same time.

I recognize the scales on his neck. They come from a sea snake in the middle sea. Liao Zilang said.

What? Is that skinny monkey fused with the gene fragments of the Alpha native creatures? The hound was slightly out of control. You must know that the success rate of genetic modification surgery has the most direct relationship with the gene fragments to be fused. Using those artificial genes that have been artificialized for nearly a thousand years The success rate of cultivated and screened biological genes on Earth is still so low, let alone alpha organisms that have not been thoroughly studied yet...

This approach is simply crazier than those exiles who directly transplanted the limbs of indigenous creatures into their own bodies!

If you read it correctly, then to him, Zhonghai is simply... Layton whispered.

He is like a fish in water. Ke Lan's expression was a little solemn, In the sea, I'm afraid no one can be his opponent.

You have to take a look at these things. I just found out- Layton did not continue, but pushed the PAD in his hand to the center of the table.

On the screen were several judgment records, the contents of which were nothing more than conflicts between peers, murder and robbery, and the people who were punished in these records were all hunters affiliated with the Aurora Consortium.

This group of people simply has a lot of criminal records... Ke Lan originally thought that the conflict between them and Benson's group would escalate to a physical conflict at most, but now it seems that the matter may not be resolved that easily.

Sorry, I was too impatient before and didn't find out the details of this group of people... Layton said with his head lowered.

I don't blame you, at least this transport ship is much faster than a plane. Ke Lan said while patting Leighton's arm comfortingly.

He glanced at Benson, who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, and he had already made up his mind. Since he had offended someone to death, if they met underwater, he would probably have to strike first. .

As for Dana, Ke Lan directly listed him as the number one threat that must be resolved first.

Without too much communication, they exchanged glances and basically understood each other's thoughts.

The original purpose of their trip was not for the undersea city. The plan to find flesh-eating worms must be kept strictly confidential. As for giving the video of the entire operation to the Aurora Consortium for free, that was even more impossible.

...It's all bloody trouble, the hound said meaningfully.
