Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 567 The episode is over
Naturally, Ke Lan doesn’t need to worry about the follow-up matters. People from the Crisis Management Section and the Security Bureau will take care of everything—as for how to explain to the public the reasons for the blockade of the entire ship, there are simply not too many reasons that can be found. One that is not easy to cause panic and riots among people is fine.

Of course, there will definitely be people who doubt this reason, but with Ark’s official public opinion control, as long as the undead crew members want to control it, then this kind of gossip can’t be said at all—”If the problem can’t be solved, then solve it The person who raised the question", this method may seem crude and unreasonable, but it is the best choice for maintaining stability.

What's more, most people would just complain to people they know well at most, and it's over for them to chat after dinner.

If under such circumstances, there are still people who deliberately incite the public on the public media, trying to reduce the official credibility of the Ark through slander, suspicion, etc., then there are likely to be some problems with the composition of these people...Maybe, the Security Bureau can still Take this opportunity to uncover a group of "special elements" hidden among the people.

Even if they are not heretical sects, most of them are members of some radical organizations.

It is very difficult to detect such malicious people pretending to be ordinary people, but if they jump out by themselves, Ark has always taken vigorous measures.

As for the last time the Morgan consortium framed Ke Lan, the reason why it can be fermented is entirely because the undead crew wanted to test Ke Lan's resilience... If they decide to intervene, even the two "stewardesses" will not be able to board. The battleship of Fleet Zero, not to mention drugging Ke Lan and adding a sneak shot video.

The nature of the "meme crisis" this time is completely different.The level of secrecy of this accident is estimated to be higher than that of Leviathan's resurrection.

Now that we are talking about the Leviathan incident, we have to say that the Security Bureau's secrecy work is still very good - this kind of thing is not just about blocking news. Leviathan is a "rich mine" that produces a large amount of energy crystals. , suddenly disappeared, which has a great impact on market supply and demand... But not only did the news of Leviathan's resurrection and being killed not spread, even the market price of energy crystals did not show any abnormal fluctuations, And the tens of thousands of supply chains involving energy crystallization in all walks of life have not been affected in any way.

Ke Lan has always wondered how the Ark officials can fill such a large demand gap... Is it just relying on the mining reserves reserved in previous years?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any surplus in the hard currency of energy crystals... As much as it is mined, the market can eat as much... The Undead Crew Union will never be able to take out the emergency reserves of each fleet to fill the gap in the private market Bar?

Ke Lan believes that they should not be able to do this kind of putting the cart before the horse.

……

Under the escort of Lin Qiming and another elite officer of the Crisis Management Section, Ke Lan quickly passed through the polluted area - at this time, a large number of heavily armed Crisis Management Section officers and security bureau agents entered the polluted area , There were gunshots from almost every direction, and the bodies of indigenous creatures and pretenders could be seen everywhere along the way.

After the death of "Seraphim", those collections that were breached did not perish together, but fell into a berserk state.Although they have now lost the ability to spread memes, the mutations caused by memes have not disappeared. From the constant reports on Lin Qiming's walkie-talkie, it can be seen that several "cleaning" teams have fallen into a bitter battle.

"Hold on, the third batch of reinforcements is about to enter the polluted area." Lin Qiming replied in the communication channel, and then looked at Ke Lan, showing a somewhat helpless wry smile: "In the entire crisis management department, there are at least three Two out of every [-] people died from the initial memetic infection, and now the manpower is too tight..."

"Then why didn't you call the guards over to help?" Ke Lan asked.

"There are not many people that the garrison can take out... The whole ship is still in a state of blockade, and the garrison has to work overtime to maintain order in each block. Although their tasks are not as dangerous as ours, they are Equally onerous."

Lin Qiming paused for a moment, and then said: "The current state of the entire ship's blockade is gradually approaching, and the garrison troops in areas far from the polluted area will be transferred here first...but..."

Lin Qiming couldn't help but sighed: "There are too few usable people in the garrison."

Ke Lan knew what he meant very well. If he wanted to help in the polluted area and ensure that the news would not be leaked, it was obviously impossible to casually drop the vacated troops into the polluted area—at least, he had to It is the "elite" who was in charge of handling the incident in the East Ninth District before, and this kind of "elite" accounts for less than 5% of the entire garrison. The few people who can be transferred are simply A drop in the bucket.

"Then you might as well let civil organizations intervene." Ke Lan said.

"What?" Lin Qiming was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ke Lan in surprise—for a moment, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Letting, letting non-governmental organizations intervene is not in compliance with the regulations, and it will increase the difficulty of keeping secrets..." Lin Qiming immediately explained.

"I don't think so." Ke Lan shook his head, "What proportion of the collections in the underground ice storage of the research institute, they went outside to grab them themselves, roughly?"

"Uh..." Although Lin Qiming didn't know why Ke Lan asked this question, he still thought about it carefully and gave a relatively conservative answer, "If all the collections in the underground ice storage are included, the research institute The specimens captured by the members themselves, I think there are still 20.00% of them..."

"Then the remaining 80.00%, could it be that he ran into the underground freezer?"

"This……"

"Actually, if you don't tell me, I know whose hands these things came here." Ke Lan said while playing with the zipper pendant at the neckline, "It's nothing more than field troops, mercenaries, relic hunters and all kinds of things. The vast majority of the 'hunting companies' under the big consortia come from what you call 'non-compliant' non-governmental organizations."

Speaking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help thinking of the young master of the Morgan family who died tragically at the reception. The heavy armored rhinoceros shovel was the prey of Angress Biotechnology Company, a subsidiary of the Morgan consortium.

Although this company is registered to report that its main business is to study the indigenous creatures of Planet Alpha, it actually does the job of a "hunter"—the "hunter" here is not the same as the "relic hunter" like Ke Lan. It is not a profession, but the most original meaning of the word hunter.

The front-line employees of this company are actually a group of mercenaries who hang out all year round. They hold official "research licenses" to legally hunt and capture those indigenous creatures.Whether it's part-specific organs, whole cadavers, or living native creatures, they'll get it for you, if you can afford it.

Later, Ke Lan also used hacking techniques to check the details of this company - more than one-third of the orders of Angress Biotechnology Company came from official research institutes.

"In a sense, the personal quality of the employees of the top 'non-governmental organizations' in the industry is definitely better than that of the soldiers in the garrison who can be soldiers as long as they pass the medical examination... Moreover, under the pressure of high liquidated damages, these people You can definitely keep your mouth shut." Ke Lan said.

He's not bragging, just talking about the circle of relic hunters, the few who can make a name for themselves are not comparable to the uneven group of low-level hunters in terms of quality and reputation.Many of the closely guarded "treasures" in the research institute were brought out from high-level ruins by these people. The confidentiality agreements signed by them are stacked together, and they may be higher than desks, but they are rarely A leak occurred.

On the contrary, it is the soldiers in the army who often get drunk during their rotating vacations and then loudly leak the situation on the front line in bars.

The favorite thing for those reporters from the pheasant media is to squat in the bars that these soldiers love to go to, scoop up gossip on the front line, and then publish a lot of headlines with embellishments.

Ke Lan doesn't have any prejudice against the army, but people like Lin Qiming have always had a prejudice against civil organizations. As a member of the relic hunters, Ke Lan still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

The Crisis Management Section doesn't appear very often on weekdays, but the people in the Security Bureau have completely different attitudes towards military people and civilian people when they are doing business-so much so that in the eyes of many people , the Security Bureau agent is a completely unreasonable image.

"Okay... I will tell Section Chief Schroeder about your suggestion, and he has the final decision-making power." Lin Qiming nodded, "However... if civil organizations can really help, the cleaning progress should be accelerated a lot of."

"In fact, you just need to choose the kind of non-governmental organizations that have a long-term cooperative relationship with the research institute. Regarding the relevant confidentiality regulations, these people are probably much clearer than the soldiers of the garrison." Ke Lan said, "By the way , I don’t think the reputation of a company is very good, I personally suggest that you avoid it.”

"Which company?" Lin Qiming immediately pricked up his ears - even the company that this "big shot" deliberately named, obviously had a big problem.

"Angles Biotechnology Company." Ke Lan said--as long as there are reasonable reasons for publicizing private revenge, he will naturally not refuse, "The managers of this company have violated 26 safety regulations and sent a The dangerous indigenous creature "heavy armored rhinoceros shovel" was sent to the venue of an upper-class reception, and caused the death of more than ten powerful children, including a member of the Morgan family, and injured more than a hundred people... Afterwards, Ann However, Grace Biotechnology only dismissed the two safety directors, and did not receive any official punishment. The reason is that "the incident belongs to the category of force majeure, and no one can predict that the sample will undergo stress mutations"...Obviously, Some people have serious dereliction of duty."

Ke Lan shrugged. Although the report was not made public, he had read everything that should be read.

"To be honest, those two security directors were really unlucky. They were clearly not the main fault, but in the end they became the role of taking the blame for others. As for all the executives of Angress, they were not held accountable."

"Is there really such a vicious incident?" Lin Qiming was stunned for a moment. The security bureau was responsible for the reception incident, and their crisis management department had to deal with matters related to the research institute. In addition, Lin Qiming was only the deputy captain of an action team before. That's all, it's not a high-level person, so it's normal for him to be ignorant of this matter.

"Yeah, do I need to lie to you?" Ke Lan continued, "Because I was one of the participants at that reception... Tsk, if I didn't react quickly, I'm afraid I might even be killed by that big bug gone."

"Okay, I see." Lin Qiming nodded solemnly, and Ke Lan was not worried that he would go to someone to verify it. After all, what he just said was true.

"In addition, I will inform the Security Bureau of this matter and let them re-examine the case." Lin Qiming added - although the "big shot" didn't say it clearly, it is clear that he is concerned about the Security Bureau's handling The result is not satisfactory... This may involve the interests of some powerful people, but for the crisis management department, they never care about this kind of relationship.

Lin Qiming secretly decided that if the people from the Security Bureau were unwilling to re-examine, even if it was an act of ultra vires, he would have to deal with it.

……

After returning to the headquarters, Ke Lan first explained the incident of the Undead Crew Club to other members of the hunting group, and then arranged for the hound and Zoligetu to be in charge of the contact with 33——even though the "meme incident" caused It has a huge impact, but to Ke Lan, it can only be regarded as a small episode. Now that the song is over, everything should be back on track.

And their next most important "business" is naturally to further explore "Yagunaktor".

It took Ke Lan a full two hours to roughly arrange all the work, and then asked Schroeder to issue a "special pass", and hurried to Sophie amidst the laughter of the hounds and the others. Ya's residence.

Just when Ke Lan arrived at the gate of the courtyard and got out of the car, he happened to see several security agents in dark gray uniforms taking two "white coats" out of the villa.

"Who are they?" Ke Lan stopped an agent and asked after showing his ID.

"They are Dr. Renee's assistants." The agent whispered in Ke Lan's ear, "We are here to 'protect' Miss Soma under the order of the crew."

"It seems that Pan's movements are quite fast." Ke Lan said in his heart, but nodded to the agent calmly on his face, bypassed them, and walked into the villa.

As soon as he entered the room, Ke Lan saw a girl in a lotus-white dress walking down the stairs—this girl was none other than the "big troublemaker" that Ke Lan entrusted to Zofia before heading to the Molten Mine. ": Zeluo.

[PS Thanks to onimiko for the 500 starting coins; thanks to stellr for the 100 starting coins. 】

[PPS Regarding Lin Qiming's attitude towards the protagonist, one is because he is impressed by the strength and analytical ability of the protagonist, and the other is because the protagonist can directly bypass the crisis management department and have a dialogue with the undead crew, so in his eyes, Ke Lan can definitely be regarded as An out-and-out big man...

Of course, the second reason accounts for the vast majority of the proportion. 】
