Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 28 The Exile

bullets...shooting...enemies...monsters...

As the blurred memory images became clear again, Ke Lan's breathing became heavier.

The flesh that turned into a human shape, the eyeballs moving in the ice, the giant centipede made of flesh and blood... all of this is not an illusion!

These things are real!They are not hallucinations!
He shot!In the stone chamber, he shot the centipede-like monster!

Ke Lan subconsciously grasped the armrest of the seat, and the gun in his hand fell on the metal floor, making a crisp sound.

"What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be feeling well?" the hound asked. "Everyone had been checked when they came up. Isn't there any problem?"

"It's just... it's just a little prostration..." Ke Lan responded quickly.

"Prostration? You don't look like collapse, like epilepsy." Ivan raised his eyebrows, "Although this is not my specialty, I know a doctor who is very good at treating epilepsy."

"...Forget it, I'm afraid that even if you are not sick, you will be cured." Ke Lan pretended to be relaxed, and calmly wiped off a fine sweat from his forehead.

If those hallucinations are real, why is everyone's memory skewed except for himself?If it's just memory loss, it's reasonable, but the problem is that the time period when I encountered those "hallucinations", other people have completely different clear memories, as if they suddenly traveled to a parallel time and space with a fine-tuned script, During those few hours, Ke Lan and the others experienced a completely different plot.

This is impossible.

Ke Lan is basically certain that what he has seen and heard is definitely not an illusion, and the missing bullet in the magazine is the most powerful evidence... But what about the others?

Step back [-] steps, assuming that everyone else's memory has been modified, but those test tubes containing blood samples Ke Lan watched Ivan put them in his pockets with his own eyes, why did they disappear?Could it be that Ivan discarded the specimen test tube in an unconscious state in order to "justify himself"?
But how to explain the stone room?There are many reasons for the disappearance of the monster's body, but how did the original wall covered with knife marks recover?How could the big hole in the ceiling of the stone room disappear out of thin air?
There are so many things that don't make sense...

Just when Ke Lan felt his head start to ache again, a sweet voice suddenly came from right in front of him, interrupting his thoughts.

"The captain asked me to deliver meals to you."

Ke Lan raised his head, and he saw a female orderly in a skirt uniform with short beige hair at the door of the lounge with a tray containing five steaming boxes of meals.

"Oh, just put it here, thank you." Ivan quickly pointed to the coffee table in the middle of the lounge.

"These foods are made temporarily in the kitchen, and they may be a bit crude. I hope you don't dislike it." The girl looked very young and seemed to have just joined the army, and her movements and tone were a little cramped... Under the situation where the scorching eyes of the elders kept looking at him.

"How can you dislike it, haha, it's better to eat a hot meal than to eat compressed biscuits!" In order to ease the embarrassment, the hound stood up with a smile. He seemed to want to pat the orderly on the shoulder, but was caught The latter fled in a panic.

"If there's nothing else to do...then...I, I'll go out first..." The orderly said, turning his head and running.

"Hehe... Layton, I dare to bet you, this chick is definitely a baby!" As soon as the orderly went out, the hound immediately put on a lewd and obscene expression.

"You don't care about your shit, do you think people like you?" Layton said angrily, lying on the seat.

"Even if you can't get it, it's good to feast your eyes on it. If you want me to say, the guy who designed the uniform for the Air Force must be an old man. Look at the uniform skirt, although the hem hangs down to the knees, but the slits on both sides But it was close to her thighs, and she had a big V-neck top and a low-cut blouse... Tsk tsk, that wonderful canyon can be seen at a glance, especially when she just leaned down to put the tray, now the child's development is really good... …”

"I see, I see, it's pink, with lace." Layton waved his only hand with a dull look on his face.

"Grass, didn't you read it too! Why are you still pretending to be empty? Could it be withered?" The Hound jumped angrily to the sofa on the side.

"Alright, alright, everyone knows you're an old man, hurry up and eat, or you'll get cold if you don't eat it." Layton picked his nose, "By the way, I can't move, old dog, help me get one. Here comes the lunch."

"Just know how to call me!"

After scolding, the hound still took a box of meals and handed it to Layton.

Although the orderly said it was made temporarily, the food was actually quite rich, with vegetables and meat, and even a poached egg per person.

The dishes are fresh, which is very different from the kimchi pickles in the cans. The meat is not the common soy protein synthetic meat, but the real pork belly, which is [-]% lean and [-]% fat.

"Damn it... the Air Force is really good, our army was born by the stepmother, and the food they eat is better than when we were celebrating the festival..." The hound complained while gulps of rice.

"Don't talk when you eat, be careful of choking." Ivan said, he was not used to using chopsticks, but fortunately there were two spare spoons in the tray.

"...cough, cough...don't curse me...water, is there any water?"

Just when the hound raised his head to look for water, there was a strong shaking, and a piece of braised pork dipped in thick red oily sauce rolled out of his lunch box, fell to the ground, and bounced forward several times. .

"...cough...cough...my flesh...cough..."

"Boom!!" There was another wave of shaking, accompanied by a dull explosion.

"Explosion? What happened?" Ke Lan and Ivan stood up from their seats at the same time, while Akano Asano put his hand on the handle of the knife subconsciously.

"Cough cough... Let's go and have a look at the bridge, I'm afraid we're in trouble." The hound didn't care about finding water, and got up and walked outside.

……

"Why did you come here?" Seeing that several hunters rushed into the bridge without saying hello, the lieutenant colonel's expression was naturally a little displeased, but he didn't react, but his tone was a little stiff.

The Hound smiled and said, "Is it the anti-aircraft firepower of the Exiles?"

"how do you know?"

"Guess." The Hound stroked the stubble on his chin proudly. "I've dealt with these bastards for several years, and I'm all too aware of their little tricks."

"...It is indeed those exiles. Two rockets of unknown type were hit in the battleship. Fortunately, the power was very small and did not penetrate the armor. Now the energy shield has been opened." The captain frowned and pointed. The screen on the side is the picture captured by the external camera: in an open river valley, several people wearing khaki camouflage cloaks are running wildly, and a few empty rocket launchers are thrown on the ground not far away.

"Isn't this a live target? Why didn't you fight back?" asked the Hound.

"Please don't come to command me." The lieutenant colonel glanced at the hound, and then said a little embarrassedly, "It's not that I don't want to fight back... The carrier-based aircraft on the ship have all been sent out to carry out rescue missions, and there is no one on this warship. Equipped with close-range artillery, the only ground-strike weapons are assault missiles... The problem is that this valley is very strange, shrouded in a very strong electromagnetic interference field, and the missiles can't lock on the target."

"Then let them run like this?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask. In his impression, the soldiers on the Ark didn't have such a good temper of "can't fight back".

"It definitely won't. The battleship is adjusting its angle and intends to use the main gun to annihilate the enemy." The captain coughed twice and said sternly.

Hearing the word "main cannon", the Hound's expression was quite wonderful: "Damn, isn't that a cannon to fight mosquitoes?"

The main gun of the Iris-class battleship is a small plasma gun. Although it is small, its power is also extremely terrifying. This thing is neither a laser weapon nor a live ammunition weapon, but uses a laser to heat heavy hydrogen to a very high level. At this temperature, some of the electrons in the atoms are stripped to form a plasma, which is commonly known as a plasma, and then it is fired out of the weapon.

Such a mass of plasma is enough to vitrify the entire valley, and as for the exiles, there will be no slag left.

"This shot will at least drain the crystals of nearly a thousand units, right?" The Hound changed the subject, "How about this, hand these guys over to us, which saves energy and can be used for interrogation. Live, just right, I can also vent this anger with this group of offal, what do you think?"
