Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 347 Interesting Bugs (4000 words chapter)
"Military background?" Ke Lan subconsciously wanted to call Machino, but after thinking about it, he put down the phone again.

There are also many factions within the military, and the extremely intricate interest relations between different factions. The Hound has already mentioned this to them countless times, and Maginot, who holds the rank of lieutenant general, is actually nothing more than a One of their factions pushed out a messenger to contact him. Like this kind of thing, if you ask Maginot, you won't get anything out of it in all likelihood.

But if it was the group of guys from the Undead Crew Club, they would definitely be able to find out the background of this "Raven Professional Club". Might bother those at the height of Ark's power for such a small matter...if they're human at all.

The clues are basically broken here, and Ke Lan can only give up.

But what makes Ke Lan a little puzzled is that since the "Dark Raven" has a military background, why are their ace players all civilian pilots who have no service experience? Their coach, as the only ace from the army, It was also traded to this club through normal transfer methods-if they really have a military background, it should not be difficult to gather three "true aces", even if the "Steel Blade" issued in recent years Medals are much less than ten years ago, so finding some experienced pilots like Chi Hanfeng must be much better than this kind of "professional competitive pilots" who have never seen blood.

Even with a large amount of sponsorship, to run a wealthy mecha club, to feed so many people, plus those mechs that are more expensive than humans, the amount of money that needs to be spent every year is definitely an astronomical figure. Come to think of it, isn't it possible to mobilize a few ace pilots to play a few games?
Thinking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but make a bold guess...

Could it be that the "Raven Crow" did this to cover up people's eyes and ears, and to disassociate themselves from this so-called "military background"?Could it be that the owner of this club doesn't want others to find out about him?

This is too weird...

Ke Lan clearly remembers that none of the military regulations of Ark's three major services prohibits retired or active servicemen from participating in commercial competitions, let alone cooperation with officials like the Ark Mecha Competition, which can be called the "World Cup" of the new era. In the third, fourth and ninth editions, there was even a precedent for the military to participate directly, and the fourth championship team even came from the Air Force's "First Fleet Carrier-based Mech Force" of the "Red Baron Squad".

Could it be... This guy, like Manstein, embezzled military expenses to play the club, right?Then this person is really audacious... Misappropriating the company's public funds, at most, is blacklisted after losing everything, and then paying back the money for the rest of his life, and embezzling military expenses privately, if it is discovered... Even if the amount is not If it is too big, the military court will only give one verdict: ransacking the house and shooting, and it will be executed immediately.

But after careful analysis, this kind of speculation is obviously untenable-that guy Manstein embezzled public funds, and it was just for his young son to buy some mecha accessories like shield generators. In terms of the operating expenses of a wealthy club, this amount of money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket... If this guy really embezzled military expenditures to invest in the club, it is impossible for this kind of money flow in units of [-] million to escape surveillance. The eyes of the system.

Rules are rules, even if this person has made a lot of money in the club and made up these accounts, as long as he misappropriates military expenses without permission, it is a capital offense... unless he can prove it afterwards to convince the judge and jury The legitimate reason to come, otherwise a peanut will definitely not be able to escape.

There must be something wrong with this "dark crow", but Ke Lan couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

Even the powerful intelligence dealer can only find out that the other party has a military background, and knows nothing about other intelligence, so with Ke Lan and the others' existing resources, they can't find anything.

"Forget it." Ke Lan walked to the computer, pressed the "ESC" button, and turned off the search engine, "Anyway, it's just a game. If the target is settled into a box, then at least we have won the top sixteen... After all, we are a professional hunting group, not a professional mecha sports club, and if we continue like this, we will have to put the cart before the horse."

"That makes sense." The hound nodded, and threw a can of iced beer to Ke Lan, "Anyway, Valentina's medical expenses have been settled, and you don't have any worries, Lao Chi. As for us... at first It's just for fun."

While talking, the hound suddenly clasped his hands together, and made a gesture that seemed pious, but made others feel very funny: "In Buddhist terminology—donor, you're making a fool of yourself."

"To be honest, old dog, I think that when you are too old to walk, you can shave your head and put on a cassock, and you can compete with the heretics for jobs. You have the potential , I am optimistic about you." Layton leaned back on the sofa and smiled while drinking.

"Fart your mother! I think your fucking bald head is much more suitable than mine, but it's just a few ring scars away. Or, you can use the welding torch in your mechanical arm to tap it twice?" The hound immediately replied.

The originally tense atmosphere in the private room suddenly eased up again, and even Song Shiyun, who was following Ye Yan, let go of her airs of being a wealthy daughter and joined in the drink - not long after, on the coffee table in front of the sofa It was already full of empty soda cans.

"No strength! This beer has no strength at all! It's tasteless! It's as light as water!" The hound yelled, pulling his neck, but at this time, what he was holding in his hand was no longer a can containing beer. It was a bottle of [-]ml strong whiskey. The huge wine cabinet in the private room was half empty, and glass wine bottles were rolling everywhere under the sofa.

There were only four people left in the private room who were not drunk—Ke Lan, Zofia, Ivan, and Asano Akira: Ke Lan and Zofia didn't drink much, and Ke Lan didn't even drink the drink thrown to him by the hound. The can of beer was not finished, and Zofia just poured a glass of white wine in her hand and drank less than three sips in total, while Akira Asano sat cross-legged on the sofa and ate melon seeds, without taking a sip of wine... ...As for Ivan, he is not drunk at all.

"This group of guys, they can't drink so much, but they still want to drink..." Ke Lan looked at the drunk people with some helplessness, and said to Ivan, "Help me, and drag these guys back to their beds."

Compared with the base built on the ground, the space on the "Zulong" super airship is more tight, but because only the participating teams that have entered the knockout stage and the audience in the VIP viewing area can board the ship, the per capita space is actually It is much larger than when it was at the base, and all the facilities are configured according to the standard of a five-star hotel.

Sitting on the head of the bed, Ke Lan looked at the scenery outside the porthole - at this time, the night had just fallen, but the temperature outside had dropped to below zero, and the vast wasteland was gradually covered with a thin layer of frost. Under the light refracted by the moon, the original white frost showed a dreamy dark blue... Although Ke Lan knew that the environment outside at this time can be described as "bad" for human beings , but I have to admit that the night view on the wasteland is really beautiful, which is something that people who live in the Ark residential area will never see in their lifetime.

More than [-]% of the human beings on the Ark will never leave this fortress-like interstellar colony ship throughout their lives. Their understanding of Alpha Planet is only limited to pictures and videos on the Internet... I don’t know why, Ke Lan I always feel that these people are very pitiful. They are like a group of prisoners who voluntarily imprisoned themselves in this prison that symbolizes safety... For them, Alpha Planet is no different from Earth in the old era. On the front line, working, earning wages, buying food and other daily necessities... They are unwilling to understand anything that has nothing to do with them, and they watch news programs just to pass the short leisure time after meals.

The vast majority of people are like this... No, it may not be accurate to describe them as prisoners, they are more like livestock in captivity, obedient and numb.

Ke Lan remembers that in the old era, there was a special word to describe such a person: social animals.

But they don’t feel that they have been kept in captivity—in the eyes of many people, it is “dangerous and unseemly” to work outside the Ark, even though the income of occupations such as relic hunters far exceeds the average income of ordinary residents of the Ark , but in their view, relic hunter is not a normal profession at all.

Just like those mercenaries who were active in war-torn areas in the old era and worked hard for money, there may be some hot-blooded teenagers who yearned for such a career when they were in the second year of middle school, but when they grow up and enter the society and start working, they will Nobody wants to be a mercenary anymore, and "summer workers in Syria" is just a joke after all.

It is the nature of ordinary people to be content with the status quo; and the vast majority of people are ordinary people.

Those who were able to board this ark back then were all the elites of mankind without exception. These people have been carefully selected, whether it is ability, character, morality or genes, they are all the best existences among human beings... However, in In this more than 900 years, the descendants of these elites have all been reduced to mediocrity.

In the eyes of that "big lizard", no matter whether it is the human elite or the ordinary people who occupy the vast majority, they can only be regarded as bugs, and even Ke Lan is nothing more than a "more interesting bug".

Ke Lan suddenly understood those believers who converted to heretical sects.

The gap between civilization and civilization is too huge. This gap is so desperate that people can't even think of fighting against it... And for some of them, their despair has turned into worship... Even is faith.

Mu Qiang and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages are biological instincts, which is understandable. Otherwise, during the war years, there would not be so many "rapists". It's just that these believers betrayed not their own country and nation, but their own country and nation. is their own race.

"If the Alpha civilization still exists in a certain corner of this universe and returns to this planet someday in the future... how will they treat humans, and how will they treat these 'traitors' among humans?"

war?conquer?enslavement?massacre?

As for equal dialogue, Ke Lan does not think that in the case of a huge disparity in strength between the two civilizations, human beings will have equal opportunities for dialogue—perhaps, human beings will be regarded as some kind of rare biological specimens by the Alpha people and kept in captivity. In an area of ​​fixed size, it is like a "protected animal" locked in a cage in a zoo.

Could it be... this planet is a huge zoo?

Ke Lan shuddered.

He suddenly felt that the gaze he felt in the East Ninth District was like a human being observing the microorganisms in a petri dish—two kinds of bacteria were fighting each other, and one of the bacteria suddenly sent a request to human beings for help. Signal, this action aroused the surprise and interest of human beings, they dropped a certain reagent into the petri dish, easily helped the bacteria that called for help to kill another bacteria, and at the same time, began to observe the former more frequently .

After all, bacteria that can signal humans for help are rare.

Perhaps, even the Alpha man is just a kind of bacteria that once bred in this petri dish.

……

Thinking about these things, Ke Lan couldn't help falling asleep... He didn't drink much, but the sleepiness that came up was much stronger than usual...

……

I didn’t dream, maybe I had a dream but I have forgotten it. When Ke Lan woke up the next day, he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important, as if it was not the hounds who drank the fragment yesterday, but him Same.

Everyone else was still sleeping, so Ke Lan wiped the water on his face indiscriminately, then pushed open the door of the private room, and went straight out - he wanted to go to the restaurant on the ship to see if there was any special breakfast, but Just bumped into the two "Dark Crows" who were standing outside the corridor.

"Why... it's you again? Is there something wrong?" Ke Lan subconsciously reached into his pocket and grabbed the handle of the pistol.

"Uh, passing by, I'm really passing by this time." The two seemed to notice Ke Lan's sleepy face, turned around and left after a perfunctory sentence, unaware of the sleepy look on Ke Lan's face after turning around. The meaning has been swept away.

He closed the door and waited for the two of them to go out for nearly more than 50 meters before slowly following them.

Anyway, the way to the restaurant is the same way, Ke Lan wanted to see what these sneaky people were up to...
