Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 156 Spy
……

After confirming that there were no monsters around, the Hound and others filed into the base and joined Ke Lan in the central square.

"It's even more spectacular when you get closer..." Ivan looked up at the giant cocoon, "It's incredible... I really don't know how those creatures made it in such a short period of time..."

"It's simple." Layton pointed to the cameras around the square, "Just go to the general control building and check the surveillance video. By the way, you can also know where the monsters that attacked the base have gone."

"Let's go, go to the main control building, and check to see if there are any available planes on the apron on the top floor." Ke Lan took the lead across the square and led everyone into the main control building.

The situation on the first floor of the main control building was not much better than the outside. All kinds of broken furniture and equipment were scattered all over the floor. Entering the corridor, the explosive ammunition blasted a big hole in the entire wall.

Everyone quickly walked into the monitoring room, but there was also a fierce battle here. The monitor and the case were covered with bullet holes. Layton squatted down, cut open the case with a welding torch, and saw that the inside had been broken into pieces. hard drive, shook his head at the crowd.

"Go upstairs, there must be a backup of the surveillance video in Manstein's computer," Ke Lan said.

The stairs leading to the second floor had been blown off, but fortunately, everyone was equipped with power armor, so they jumped directly to the second floor with a light jump.

Like the first floor, the corridor on the second floor was full of bullet holes and blood, as well as monster claw marks, but no corpse was found.

"Look here." Walking on the other side, Layton seemed to have discovered something, and shouted in a low voice, "This doesn't seem to be the claw mark of a monster... this mark..."

Ke Lan turned his head and looked, it was a very thin and straight cut mark, about 45 meters in length, forming an angle of [-] degrees with the ground from bottom to top... The scratches made by the monster's claws and This trace is completely different.

"There is no damage to the wall at the edge of the trace. The trace is very deep. According to visual inspection, it has been cut into the wall by more than three centimeters... This trace should be cut by an extremely sharp blade. Dare to use this weapon to deal with those monsters. This man Either he's an idiot, or he's a master..." Ke Lan couldn't help looking at Akira Asano who was following behind, "Asano, come and see, what level is the person who made this knife?"

Akira Asano stepped forward, stretched out his hand to touch the knife mark on the wall, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm not necessarily his opponent."

"What?!" This time it was Ke Lan's turn to be shocked, "You mean, after using that ability, you are still not this person's opponent?"

"If I tried my best, then I'm not sure." Akira Asano rubbed his fingers lightly on the knife mark, "Because of this knife, that person didn't use all his strength, and even left a large part of his strength."

"..." Asano Akira's strength, Ke Lan and the others are clear, that kind of three-meter-level sea anemone head that is enough to wipe them out in seconds, and another one will come out with a power that is no less than his ...Even a swordsman stronger than him, this is really too magical...

If it weren't for the decoration of the main control building that still maintains the minimalist sci-fi style of the Ark, Ke Lan almost thought they had traveled to a martial arts novel.

"Such a strong guy, he should still be alive..." Layton whispered.

"Not necessarily," Ke Lan looked at the knife marks on the wall, and shook his head, "No matter how strong he is, it's impossible to kill a large group of monsters like that on the opposite side. This is already the limit of being a cold weapon... Wait , doesn't seem quite right—"

As Ke Lan spoke, he suddenly leaned over and observed the wall carefully.

"Asano, try to imitate the posture of this man's sword, and give me a sword...Uh, I mean use the scabbard, don't use force, just imitate the trajectory of his sword." Ke Lan said and stood up Beside the wall, when Asano Akira's scabbard touched his body, he immediately stopped Asano Akira, and then called Ivan over.

"Ivan, look, Asano's scabbard is right on my neck. If my head is cut off at this angle, in which direction will the blood in my veins spray?"

"Generally speaking, it is the arteries that cause bleeding. The neck is mainly the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. One is at this position and the other is at this position." Lan pointed out the corresponding parts on his body, "If it was cut in this way, the direction of blood spraying should be..."

Speaking of this, Ivan was also stunned, because on the wall behind Ke Lan... just above the knife mark, there happened to be such a bloodstain.

"The blood of those monsters is as thick as asphalt, and it won't burst out at all... This knife killed a human being." Ke Lan said the conclusion.

"What the hell, is there someone going to attack one of us at this time?" Layton couldn't help cursing.

"He didn't necessarily kill his own people... All in all, be careful, even if you see humans, they may not be our allies." Ke Lan patted the knife mark on the wall and continued walking forward.

At this time, Asano Akira suddenly said: "12 meters ahead, the first door on the right hand side, there is movement behind the door."

"Is it that kind of monster?" Ke Lan asked, the Hound and Layton had already pulled out their guns and aimed at the door that Asano Akira had mentioned.

"There are two breathing sounds, the frequency is consistent with human beings, and they should be survivors." Akira Asano added.

"I see." Ke Lan flirted with the hounds and walked lightly to the door.

From the house number, it can be known that this room is the office of the director of the base—that is, the secretary of Manstein. Ke Lan drew out a pistol and pressed against the door, then signaled Layton to come forward and cut the door lock with a welding torch. open.

This door was originally equipped with an alarm device, but now the defense system of the entire main control building has been paralyzed. Even if they directly blast the door open, the alarm device will not be triggered.

In less than ten seconds, the welding torch cut through the door lock. Ke Lan gently pushed the door open, pushed the energy shield to the front, and walked in.

There was a strong smell of perfume in the room, but in this perfume... there seemed to be a trace of urine...

The floor of the room was covered with thick carpets, and the bookcases, desk, coffee table and chairs were all made of expensive solid wood. Opposite the desk, there was also an exquisitely crafted leather sofa.

The innermost part of the office is a large wardrobe embedded in the wall, which is obviously the only place where people can hide in the entire office.

"Don't hide, come out, we are from the Soma Consortium." Ke Lan pointed the gun at the wardrobe and said.

After about half a minute, the closet door "creaked" and opened half a crack. After a few seconds, a beautiful woman in disheveled clothes stumbled out of the closet.

This woman was wearing a blood-stained professional dress, with messy brown curly hair hanging over her shoulders, and there were obvious wet marks on the edge of the skirt and dark brown stockings, and the pair of high heels she was stepping on were even worse. Only one was high and the other was low, and the broken heel fell not far from the closet.

"You... are you really from the Soma Consortium?" The woman shrank her neck, glanced at Ke Lan with some trepidation, and asked cautiously.

"Yes, I'm Ke Lan, the nominally highest person in charge of this base, that is, your immediate boss." Ke Lan replied.

"You, you are Mr. Ke Lan?" The woman raised her head in astonishment. This time, she finally saw Ke Lan's face clearly behind the mask.

Ke Lan still has a little impression of this woman. When Manstein came to greet them, she followed behind Manstein. It seems that the owner of this office is indeed correct.

"Is there another one?" Ke Lan tapped the thigh armor with the handle of the pistol, making a crisp metal collision sound, "Mr. Manstein, do you still intend to continue hiding in the closet?"

The secretary can come out first to confirm the situation. In this base, apart from Manstein himself, there is no other person who has such a status.

"Ke...Mr. Ke Lan, you...you...are you still alive?" When Manstein crawled out of the closet, the hound rushed up and grabbed him by the collar , Lifting him up.

"What do you mean we're still alive?!" the Hound growled at him, "Okay, you fell into my hands at last, and now you can start praying—"

"Don't...Mr. Hound...it's a misunderstanding!" Manstein shouted hastily.

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstood your mother!" As soon as the hound raised his fist, Manstein screamed before it hit it——

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't do it! It's really not me! The person who ordered the fire was not me... Yui, but the female secretary you brought! She... She is a spy of the Mitsui Consortium! She modified your communication channel , and forged the news that all of you were killed by unknown creatures, and then used my name to issue an order to the camp to close the mine! It was all done by that woman, and I really can’t be blamed!”
