Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 228 Special Treatment
But after thinking about it carefully, Ke Lan feels that this ability does not seem to be a real time stop.

He had read a comic called "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" before, in which the villain Dio's stand-in ability "Smashing Varudo" is to stop all the time around him and allow himself to move freely within the static time... But when Ke Lan activated this ability, even he himself became a part of "being stilled".

The only thing that remains normal is his thinking consciousness.

In addition to standing still, there is another situation that can achieve a similar effect-"speeding up thinking".

This concept is not difficult to understand. For example, a person's thinking speed suddenly speeds up ten thousand times. The thinking process that originally took one second is forcibly shortened to one ten-thousandth of a second. From his subjective perspective Come to feel, the flow of time in the outside world seems to be [-] times slower... When this multiple is increased to a certain level, it will be no different from "time is still".

But no matter whether the essence of this ability is "time stillness" or "thinking acceleration", in short, it is equivalent to giving Ke Lan a "pause button". When facing some emergencies, he can press this "pause button". key" and cancel it after thinking about the best countermeasure.

Although those seamless wailing sounds and unspeakable oppression will bring a great burden to Ke Lan's spirit, but in terms of his current state, if he persists, he can hold on for at least three to four seconds... …In many cases, the extra three to four thinking times out of thin air are enough to change the outcome of a matter.

Just like now-

Ke Lan activated this ability again, and immediately, all the falling objects in the midair were frozen there, and then, according to the falling points and order of these objects, he drew a line "safety" in the block. route".

Relieving the stagnation, Ke Lan rushed straight to a red trash can 30 meters in front of the right, stayed by the trash can for two seconds, waited until the half of the advertising board in front hit the ground, jumped over the advertising board, and then Turn around, bypass two hovercar charging piles, and get into a self-service supermarket.

This is the first part of the journey. Although the track surface directly above the self-service supermarket has been broken, the deformation of the two main steel bars is not too large, and it will not be able to fall down for a while.

Ke Lan picked up the butt of the gun and smashed the window of the vending machine, took out two cans of sports drinks from inside, pulled the tabs and poured them into his mouth.

For Ke Lan, who has used a variety of stimulant drugs, the little "active substance" added to the sports drink is basically useless, but fortunately, the sugar content in this thing is very large, just for use Replenish the energy and water your body needs.

While drinking, Ke Lan counted silently in his heart. After counting to ten, he threw down the can and kicked open the door on the other side of the self-service supermarket.

Activate static ability, observe falling objects and dangerous routes, and draw routes—the second time he used this skill, Ke Lan’s proficiency has been significantly improved, and he has already released it before he felt the tingle in his brain. Out of the static state, rushed towards the next target point.

……

Stopping and stopping like this, Ke Lan finally escaped to the edge of the East Ninth District without any danger. At this time, the side effect of this ability was also reflected-in the last few times when he used it, the duration of each time was shorter. There was only less than half a second left, and even in the state of not activating the skills, consciousness began to become blurred, accompanied by a faint headache like a hangover, and it was even worse when walking. A bewildered drunk almost crashed into a burning custom shop.

Fortunately, when we reached the periphery, those overhead structures were already damaged in sevens and eighties. Although the road conditions were terrible, at least we didn't have to worry about things falling from the top of our heads.

"Stop!" There was a sudden shout in the distance, and Ke Lan raised his eyelids with some difficulty, just in time to see a group of soldiers from the garrison running towards us with guns in hand.

Ke Lan simply sat down, threw the gun in his hand aside, and raised his arm towards the other party.

"Are you...Mr. Ke Lan?" This team of soldiers obviously had seen Ke Lan's photo and knew his identity. They quickly helped Ke Lan who was already in a semi-comatose state, and carried him to a folding table. on the stretcher.

An officer hurried up and asked anxiously: "Mr. Ke Lan, if you are injured, please tell us immediately, and we will immediately get the medical department in the rear ready!"

"I'm not injured, it's just... exhausted..." Ke Lan waved his hand weakly, "East Ninth District will be separated soon, please notify other people to evacuate."

"We have received orders..."

After finishing speaking, the officer hesitated for a moment, but he still asked, "Major Ashkani, who went in with you, did he die?"

Ke Lan didn't speak, just nodded silently.

The officer let out an imperceptible sigh, and then led the soldiers to carry Ke Lan away from this place.

During the conversation with these soldiers, Ke Lan learned that they were specially sent by their superiors to support him, and that in the orders they received, he was the only one who needed to respond. As for the sacrificed Victoria, Ashkani and Alyosha and others did not mention it at all.

Logically speaking, the military should not know that they have died. From this point of view, this team that came to meet them should be arranged by the undead crew again.

But to Ke Lan's surprise, when the team sent him to a temporary camp at the junction of East Ninth District and East Eighth District, they immediately released Ke Lan——

"If you feel any discomfort, the medical point is in the barracks. If you have other needs, you can directly contact me or any officer above the rank of lieutenant in the barracks—of course, if you want to return to your residence or If you are going somewhere else, we will also arrange a pick-up vehicle for you." The officer said to Ke Lan respectfully.

"Uh...you...don't you need me to take notes? Or something like a report? Just let me go?" Ke Lan felt a serious sense of unreality. Logically speaking, East Ninth District Such a big event happened inside, as the only survivor who came out alive, he had to be interrogated for several days and nights, but this guy actually told himself that he could leave at any time?

"According to the standard, a record is required..." The officer suddenly lowered his voice, "However, this time, the higher-ups have specifically instructed, so..."

"So?" Ke Lan shrugged, "Special treatment?"

"Ahem... that's pretty much what it means."
