Alien Relic Hunter

Several DAS agents stepped forward, controlled Ke Lan and others with extremely rough movements, and then neatly searched away all the weapons on their bodies.

"Not an exile?" A female agent who was over 1.85 meters tall came forward and asked in her rough androgynous voice.

Judging from the position of this group of agents, this woman is obviously the highest-ranking person here.

"we are……"

Just as Layton was about to explain, the female agent suddenly interrupted him: "Save these words for those in the investigation department. Our field department is only responsible for executing tasks and not interrogating prisoners."

She waved her hand, and several agents immediately put smart shackles on Ke Lan and others, even the seriously injured Layton and Ivan were no exception.

The essence of this smart shackle is a bomb. If they are more than 150 meters away from the key holder or attempt to violently dismantle it, the bomb will be detonated immediately.

"Sir, we found traces of the sacrificial ceremony in the house." An agent hurriedly ran out of the room where Ke Lan and the others had fought against the Seeds of Corrosion, and said into the female agent's ear. .

"Sacrifice ceremony? What kind of thing is it?" The female agent was stunned for a moment and suddenly took off the helmet on her head.

She has a face with sharper edges than that of a man, and her skin color is a hint of abnormal grayish white. Several horrific wounds have modified her face, which could not be said to be pretty at first, into an extremely vicious look, from her chin to her neck. It is an advanced bionic prosthesis, so it is no wonder that she is not afraid of the sleeping gas that permeates the air - the artificial respiratory system will filter and purify the air inhaled into the body many times, removing toxins and pollutants inside, ensuring that they are not It enters the bloodstream through the lungs.

"The prosthetic body she used is a high-end product of 'Mayan Creature'... A piece of trachea from this thing is worth half of my body..." Leighton said in a low voice.

The corrosive seeds of death, the shells of flesh-eating worms, the priestess who was sucked into a mummy, and the killed men in black were all taken out of the house one by one by the agents and lined up in the open space outside.

Ke Lan noticed that when she saw the Seed of Corrosion, the female agent's eyebrows jumped involuntarily... Obviously, she knew this thing and seemed to be very afraid of it.

"Has there been any contamination?"

"Nothing has been found yet."

"Where are they? Have you checked them?" She pointed at Ke Lan and others.

"Checked." said an agent standing behind Ke Lan and the others. He was holding an instrument that looked very similar to a thermometer gun.

"Process the samples, place the laser beacon, and prepare to evacuate."

Ke Lan and the others were taken directly into a light armored vehicle. Through the window, they could see a green laser shooting straight into the sky - it wouldn't be long before a ground-attack missile would level this settlement to the ground.

…

"To be honest, I have thought about many scenarios of returning to the Ark. The only thing I have never thought about is probably being escorted back by DAS as a prisoner." The hound moved his buttocks with some effort, and he had his hands on his wrists, neck and ankles. With the smart shackles on, the green indicator light of the detonator flashed one after another.

"At least we don't have to worry about getting the car ourselves." Ke Lan said helplessly. He leaned on the seat and pressed his shoulders against the inner wall of the car. The space inside the armored car was very small and the road was very bumpy. If they don't find a way to fix themselves, their heads will have to come into close contact with the cold and hard roof every time the car rolls over a pothole.

"呲——"

The screeching sound of brakes sounded, and the inertia caused Ke Lan to run directly into Leighton's arms. The hound even fell backwards. Fortunately, Ivan wrapped himself in a bandage on the seat, so he didn't suffer from this. Sudden braking resulted in further injuries.

"Everyone, come on down, hurry up." An agent opened the car door and urged.

"We haven't arrived at the Ark yet..." Layton glanced outside the car, "Isn't this a sudden plan to execute us?"

"It's very possible." The hound nodded, "They can do anything."

"No way, we killed so many monsters, but we ended up dying in the hands of DAS..." Layton was a little unwilling.

"Ahem... Aren't you planning to go all out, are you?" Ke Lan almost choked on his own saliva, "Please turn your heads and look at the other side. There is a plane over there, and it should be here to pick us up."

Parked on one side of the convoy is an "Amran-class" transport aircraft. However, this Amran and the Amran that Ke Lan and the others boarded before have completely changed their appearance except for the number of frames and rotors. Not only A large number of weapons have been installed, and even the models of the external engines have been changed. In terms of performance alone, it is far from comparable to that piece of junk that crashed under the glacier.

A man wearing a simple protective suit outside a suit came over from the plane. He waved his hand, and the DAS agent standing on one side removed the smart shackles on Ke Lan and the others.

"I am a staff member of the DAS investigation department, responsible for the second half of this trip. The identities of the four have been confirmed. However, due to the special circumstances, your personal freedom will still be restricted during this period. Please try your best to May cooperate."

Compared with those field agents who only know how to kill, the attitude of the investigators is much kinder. As soon as Ke Lan and the four of them boarded the transport plane, he pushed over a tray with four paper cups filled with hot air. Smoking coffee.

"There's no poison in it, right? Or is there something like 'truth serum'?" Hound looked at the investigator with some suspicion.

"No, no." The latter shook his head with a smile, "It's just instant coffee. If there really was such a thing as 'truth serum', I'm afraid people like me would have been unemployed long ago."

"Who knows?" The hound curled his lips, but he still picked up the cup and took a sip.

"'Veritaserum' is not a fictitious drug in novels. As early as the old era, there were records of interrogating prisoners using narcotics. People would subconsciously answer many questions in a state of unconscious sedation." Ivan lay half-lying weakly. On the seat, although DAS agents had transfused him with two bags of plasma, his face was still very pale.

"For hunters, the interrogation effect of anesthesia is not good." The investigator kept the original smile on his face, as if he was wearing a mask that always smiled.

"Hallucinations will affect the outcome of the interrogation, right?" Ivan asked.

"Yes, according to the survey, 67% of the ruin hunters have fallen into hallucinations in the ruins of the Alpha civilization, and about two-thirds of them will have sequelae of varying degrees. In addition, due to For various reasons, 89.4% of hunters are emotionally unstable for a long time. For such a group, we will not choose to use anesthetics as an interrogation method." the investigator replied.

"You make us hunters look like a bunch of lunatics."

"There is a difference between the surface consciousness and the subconscious mind, Mr. Nick."

"It seems that you have quite a lot of things at your disposal?" Hound snorted coldly. The "Nick" in the investigator's mouth was obviously his real name.

"This is not difficult to check." The investigator glanced at the watch on his hand, "Okay, the greetings are over, now I need to make some simple notes-"

He suddenly changed his gaze and stared at Ke Lan intently - Ke Lan had not said a word since boarding the DAS transport plane. He wanted to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, but from the investigation Judging from the information revealed in the officer's eyes, his target was Ke Lan from the beginning.

"Mr. Ke Lan, are you the only one among them who has been exposed to flesh-eating worms? We found your fingerprints and a small amount of DNA material on them. Please describe your motivation or purpose for doing so. What is the reason for throwing flesh-eating worms at... uh... at that 'mutant'?"

"Meat-eating worms? What meat-eating worms?" Ke Lan started to act stupid.

"You know what I'm referring to. Concealing or lying is not good for you or us. I hope you can understand this." When the investigator said this, he was still smiling.
