Chapter 282 The Jar

Chapter 282 The Jar
It has long been known to Ke Lan and the others that there is collusion between the heretic sect and the top management of the Ark. The forces they infiltrated are far more than just the Arasaka consortium, and more people are secretly supporting them.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the mentality of these people. Even if the dogma of the heretical sect itself is not attractive to them, as long as the founder of the heretical sect is still alive, this transaction will never lack bargaining chips—— The ability of this person is enough to create huge benefits for these people and the forces behind them.

Not everyone can resist this temptation.

"I'll check this thing after I go back. If it doesn't work, I'll throw it to the security bureau to make them a headache." Ke Lan said to Layton.

"Well, the people in the Security Bureau are not short of money, and this information should be able to sell for a good price." Layton paused, and continued, "It's just... I don't know their people, and I haven't had much contact with them. Crossing the line..."

"I know, I'll take care of this." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he squatted down, grabbed the mercenary's shoulder, and asked: "You just said that your mission is to find a jar, can you describe it? Any details about this jar?"

"Jar...I don't know the details of the jar..." the mercenary said.

"Your mission is to find that jar, but you don't even know what the jar looks like?" Ke Lan was speechless.

"The employer didn't tell us, he just asked us to follow these exiles... I only heard a few words when they were chatting... It should be close to two meters, the thickness of two people hugging each other The cylindrical jar, the material may be glass or quartz or something... They don't seem to be sure about the color, they only said that it was either black or dark brown..." the mercenary tried hard to recall.

"Then did they say what was in the jar?" Ke Lan continued to ask.

"No." The mercenary shook his head again and again.

"Think about it again..." Ke Lan patted the mercenary on the back, "The reason why you are still conscious is because I injected you with two milligrams of epinephrine. As for your actual situation, Do you want to know?"

The mercenary didn't speak, but looked at Ke Lan in fear, his white lips trembling involuntarily twice.

"Then let me tell you," Ke Lan asked himself and answered, "Your legs were all blown off below the knees, but the wounds were not sintered when you were unlucky. Even if you don't consider the risk of infection, you are now The total amount of blood loss has also exceeded 30.00%, and I did not help you stop the bleeding, the blood is still flowing out, and you may go into shock due to excessive blood loss at any time."

Ke Lan stretched out a finger, dipped the accumulated blood that had gathered into a small puddle under the mercenary, and wiped the sticky plasma on his face.

"In addition, there are many metal fragments embedded in your back, chest and abdomen. If you don't deal with it immediately..."

"Save...help me...please..." Before Ke Lan finished speaking, the mercenary began to plead.

"I want to save you too, but we don't have many medical supplies. If we waste them on you, if some of us are injured later, wouldn't there be nothing we can use? Unless you can prove that you are useful, I will let you live, otherwise why would I treat a person who has nothing to do with me... No, to be precise, it should be someone who is in a hostile position with me?"

"I work! I work! I can tell you the way out, as long as you can get through the blocked one—"

"Not enough, not enough at all." Ke Lan interrupted him and said, "This is not enough to save your life, and you are still lying, why should I save an enemy who is full of lies? Are you coming down and waiting for you to find a chance to kill us?"

Ke Lan's words seemed to break through the mercenary's psychological defense in an instant. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "I'm sorry! Please give me a chance! I can say anything! I can say anything--in fact We have already got that pot! It’s just, it’s just that there were some accidents during the process, so a lot of time wasted, causing the retreat to be half an hour later than the scheduled time... The pot was buried in the collapsed passage!”

"Oh? Then why didn't you tell me in the first place?" Ke Lan asked.

"I... because... because the employer only paid us a 30.00% deposit... the rest of the money will have to wait for the things to arrive..."

"Oh, I see, your teammates are dead anyway, if you can trick us into getting out alive, and then find a way to come back and take the jar later, you can swallow the rest of the reward by yourself, Right? I think that must be an irresistible number, otherwise you wouldn’t be desperate to keep it a secret, am I right?”

"As long as you get the jar, you can get the money. The employer only wants the stuff, and he doesn't care who completes the task, no matter if that person is a mercenary or a relic hunter—" said the mercenary, " I've told you everything, please save me! I don't want to die yet..."

"Actually, I lied to you too. I have already stopped the bleeding for you just now. Otherwise, do you think you can survive until now with only one adrenaline?" Ke Lan said, "It's just that we don't have plasma on hand. If you want to live , It depends on whether we can escape from this place."

Ke Lan stood up and said to the hound, "It seems that we discovered something extraordinary this time."

"That jar, could it also contain something like a seed of erosion... By the way, how do you know this guy is lying?" the hound asked in a low voice.

"Time difference." Ke Lan replied.

"Time difference?"

"Just like when we divided into two teams to attack these mercenaries, as an ambush team, we have to wait for your feint attack team to act before we act, while your feint attack team must make sure that we are in place before we can do anything." Ke Lan He explained, “These people are the same. Armed convoys attacking sinkhole camps and observation stations will inevitably lead to firefights, and explosions and vibrations will cause avalanches. It is impossible for the planners to have taken this into account.

In order not to be trapped by teammates, the other team has to enter the ruins, get things, and complete the evacuation before the convoy launches an attack... The mercenary also said that it was because of some accidents that they missed The original scheduled retreat time was trapped here.Otherwise, they would have left the ruins before we fell into the abyss. "

Ke Lan continued: "Since the heretic sect already knows the existence of the secret passage, it is impossible to have an accident when entering the part of the ruins... Taking a step back, even if there is an accident, it should reserve time to solve the problem. Only after people like them enter the ruins can the direction of things deviate from the planned trajectory."

"Then how are you sure they've found the jar?"

"That's what he said. I just know he's lying... No matter whether they found the jar or not, it's definitely not what he said—'the landslide happened just after entering the secret passage'."

At this time, Layton came over from a distance, and shook his head at Ke Lan: "The passage this guy mentioned has been found, but it is tightly blocked, and we cannot dig it out with our current means—— This way doesn't work."
