Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 219 "Save Me"

"The patriarch in the suicide note should refer to the patriarch of the Arasaka family. It seems that the heretical sect has completely controlled the entire Arasaka consortium, and has used the resources in its hands to transform most of the residents in the residential area into the seeds of erosion." 'Container'... But the question is, what are they doing to cultivate so many species of erosion?"

Ke Lan thought for a while, and listed the clues he has now one by one: "When you were in the blockade earlier, you used the pheromones of the meat-eating worms to attract only a few species of erosion, which means that the East Most of the Seed of Corrosion containers in the Ninth District should be under the control of heretic sects. At first I thought they were going to gather the Seed of Corrosion to attack the outer blockade, but obviously, they didn't do that. Do."

If the outer blockade is attacked by a large number of erosion seeds, the garrison will definitely release signal flares. Now the power lines of the entire East Ninth District have been cut off, and the lighting can only rely on the lights refracted from several surrounding districts. In such a dim environment, the signal flares will become extremely eye-catching—but, except for the one fired by Major Ashkani, Ke Lan and the others have never seen any signal flares explode above the East Ninth District Pass.

This means that the blockades in all directions have not been attacked by individuals with a scale of more than 30 people or super powerful individuals like Arasaka Yui and Zanji.

"It doesn't seem to be for defense..." Ke Lan was playing with a bullet casing he picked up casually in his hand, "The enemies we encountered along the way, except for the three boss-level units of Black Skeleton, Arasaka Yui, and Zanji In addition, there are some mercenaries, radiation monsters and other miscellaneous fish... If all these miscellaneous fish are replaced with erosion seeds, let alone the residential area, the investigation team may not even be able to go out of the first street of Kabukicho ...so this guess can basically be ruled out."

"..." Victoria lowered her head without saying a word, as if she was thinking about something.

"Hey... I have said so much, can't you tell me what you think?" Ke Lan glanced at her with some dissatisfaction, and threw the bullet casing in his hand.

"Crack." Victoria reached out and grabbed the shell casing thrown over. With a light pinch of her fingers, the shell casing had turned into a thin sheet of metal.

"... Hiss... Your analysis is right... Hiss... I agree with your point of view."

"It's really rare for you to say this..." Ke Lan sighed, "But I have a bold guess... Let me put it here first, this is purely guesswork, without any evidence .”

"You can... hiss... tell me."

"First of all, it can be determined that the rituals of heretical sects are related to the 'sacred object' that Arasaka Yui said, and this 'sacred object' was brought out of Leviathan by Manstein, that is to say, this object originally belonged to Leviathan's... If it is more daring, it can be assumed that it is precisely because Manstein took out this thing that Leviathan woke up early before the resurrection progress..."

Ke Lan took a breath and continued: "The resurrection of Leviathan requires a lot of flesh and blood. In order to achieve this goal, those red meat worms devoured all the human corpses in each base... If this element is translated to If you get involved in the case of the East Ninth District, and then replace the key word 'human flesh and blood' with the seed of erosion..."

He lowered his voice slightly, and said: "The 'holy object' from Leviathan, plus a large amount of flesh and blood from the seed of erosion as 'nutrient', these two things together...you can think about it with your toes I understand the seriousness of the problem."

"Do you think... hiss... heretical sects... hiss... are creating... prehistoric species?"

"Yes, that's what I think... Even if the things they create are not as good as the prehistoric monsters like Leviathan, at least they are definitely better than the smelly fish and rotten shrimps like Arasaka Yui. I don't know how many times stronger Yes...and, this is not on the wilderness, but inside the ark...if we fight the prehistoric battle inside the ark, even if we win, our losses may be immeasurable."

"If... hiss... that's really the case... then... we must stop..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult just with the two of us... It's really strange, why hasn't the reinforcements arrived at this time?"

Since there were no signal flares and no reinforcements arrived, Ke Lan really couldn't figure out what happened outside.

"We... hiss... we have to go there..." Victoria raised her head and said, looking at the Arasaka Tower not far away.

"...Why don't you wait first?" Strange to say, since entering the industrial park, Ke Lan and Victoria have never heard those weird crying or screams, and what's more, it was always in the back of Ke Lan's mind. The voices calling him everywhere also suddenly fell silent.

Could it be a trap again... Just when Ke Lan thought so, a circle of dazzling bright light suddenly radiated from the top floor of the Arasaka Tower. Afterwards, the entire East Ninth District was restored to power, and large areas of lights came from Inside and outside, one by one lit up!

"The power has been restored?!" Ke Lan quickly took out the phone, but the signal grid still displayed "Not in the service area".

Victoria inserted a metal finger into the wired network interface in Arasaka Ryoya's residence. After two seconds, she shook her head and said, "The wired network... hiss... is still disconnected..."

"From this point of view, it should be that the reserve energy of the East Ninth District has been activated, but the connection with the outside world has not yet been restored." Ke Lan said, "But I don't know what their intention is..."

If you really want to determine the purpose of the heretical sect, I'm afraid you can only find out after entering the Arasaka Tower as Victoria said...

At this moment, the sobbing sound that had disappeared for a long time rang in Ke Lan's ear again, but this time, Ke Lan heard the words mixed in the crying clearly!

"Help me... help me..."

It was a weak female voice, and she didn't seem to be very old... However, although she spoke human language, for some reason, Ke Lan always felt that the creature making this voice did not seem to be human.

That kind of vague and hoarse voice doesn't seem to be produced by human vocal organs. Even Victoria's electronically synthesized voice sounds more normal than this voice.

"Did you hear...that cry?" Ke Lan turned around and asked.

"... Hiss... I heard... howling, screaming, howling... hiss..." Victoria pointed at the Arasaka Tower, "That's where the sound came from."
