Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 570
"The old man's words are quite reasonable."

Ke Lan replied, feeling the smooth and delicate touch from his hand, he couldn't help but carefully looked at this little foot like a work of art, and then pinched it subconsciously.

The force was neither light nor heavy, but it still left a few light red marks on the surface of the snow-white skin.

Suddenly, a soft cry came from the top of the head.

Zofia's face was slightly hot. She wanted to pull her foot back from Ke Lan's hand, but found that she couldn't move it.

"This person...why is he so strong? He...wouldn't be thinking at this time..."

She struggled inwardly, closed her eyes altogether, and stopped resisting.

Ke Lan looked at the young lady's expression from the corner of his vision. He saw her eyes closed slightly, her slender eyelashes fluttering from time to time, and there was a slight blush on her cheeks.

Her complexion is very fair, so even if her face is only a little red, she looks very conspicuous.

Ke Lan suddenly felt that some of the old dog's words did not seem to be completely unreasonable.

After this series of events ended, Ke Lan felt an unspeakable sense of fatigue in his heart for no reason, and he suddenly wanted to relax completely.

There are many ways to relax: playing games, watching movies, exercising, eating a big meal, and…

"Does it hurt you?" Ke Lan let go of his hand, stood up and asked.

"No." Although Ke Lan had already stood up, Zofia's hands were still on his shoulders - considering her height, this movement was not strenuous, and she didn't even need to stand on tiptoe.

Looking at the face close at hand, Ke Lan felt waves of warm breath on his face. It is difficult to describe the strange feeling in words... The medicine of two hundred doses of Thunder Beast may be very helpful to him now. It has no effect, but this kind of desire aroused by one's own subjective consciousness is another matter.

The threat from the research institute has been lifted, and the attitude of the Undead Crew Association is relatively ambiguous—but anyway, the "memetic infection" incident is obviously a wake-up call for them, even if some people still have their own His small abacus should be restrained a lot in the days to come.

Ke Lan will never believe the saying "If he fails, the undead crew will run away with the gene pool"... They definitely still have other back-ups, but no matter how many back-ups they have, The losses of the research institute are all real.

It is no exaggeration to say that this incident has already hurt the foundation of Ark and mankind.It will take at least a few years, or even more, for the research institute to return to the state before the incident.

As the saying goes, if you sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat...For Ark, even a stagnation period of only a few years is very dangerous...Especially there is an unstable factor such as heretical sects that are completely hostile.

These things should be left to the members of the Undead Crew Club to have a headache. Ke Lan closed his eyes hard, temporarily throwing these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. Now, there is only one thought in his mind——

Eat, drop, her.

Ke Lan took a deep breath, hugged Zofia's body horizontally, and walked quickly towards the stairs.

Many things don't actually require a special opportunity. Just like now, Zofia buried her head on Ke Lan's shoulder, wrapped her hands around his neck, and looked extremely obedient... Everything that followed was natural. It will be a matter of course.

But what made Ke Lan a little speechless was that just as he was about to go upstairs with the beautiful woman in his arms, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him—at this moment, Ze Luo followed up.

"..." In Ke Lan's mind, the most correct thing to do at this time is to let go of Zofia and try to distract Ze Luo's attention. But he didn't want to let go of this gentle body in his arms.

The girl followed all the way to the bottom step of the stairs before stopping.

Ke Lan stared at her with the words "Don't go upstairs" written all over her eyes. There was still no obvious expression on the face of the three-no girl, but there was a trace of grievance in her eyes.

"...Can I watch it?" She thought for a while and asked.

Obviously, she knew what Ke Lan and the others were going to do next.

Ze Luo has already learned this kind of knowledge thoroughly through literature, but she has never witnessed it in reality.

Especially after Ke Lan's computer was hacked once by the crew, he deleted the resources stored in the hard disk, so that the girl had no chance to watch the actual combat scene.

"No." Ke Lan flatly refused.

"Then can I join?" Ze Luo asked a more explosive question.

"This is even worse!" Ke Lan suddenly felt that there seemed to be some problems in his way of educating Ze Luo.

"Oh." Ze Luo nodded, turned around and walked towards the corridor on the right, which was connected to the study of the villa, and it was also the place where Ze Luo stayed most often in the eldest lady's house.

"She shouldn't be able to spy with her abilities, right?" Just as Ke Lan was thinking this way, Zofia suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched his chest lightly.

This action seemed to be urging him.

Ke Lan glanced at her, and saw that the blush on the eldest lady's face had spread down her neck...

Ke Lan bit her lips hard, and simply stopped thinking about Ze Luo, and pushed open the half-hidden door of the bedroom with her knees.

Meanwhile, Fleet Zero.

"Why was my return application not approved?" Dr. Renee stared at the agent blocking the hangar door, and asked aggressively. She looked like a lioness with fried hair at the moment—— As for the young agent looking at the file box in her hand from the corner of his eye from time to time, he always felt that the box made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy would be glued to his face in the next second.

"This is the request from above." The young agent said with a bitter face, "I have no right to release you back to the ark... Not only you, but any member of the academy is prohibited from returning to the headquarters."

"Above? Which one is it? The director of your security bureau or the joint parliamentary group?" Dr. Renee continued to ask, behind her, there were several researchers in white coats, and a dozen or so marine soldiers on the side. There was a tense confrontation.

"I'm just following an order, please don't embarrass me anymore, doctor," said the young agent.

"But the problem is that I can't get in touch with the headquarters of the research institute at all. Not even... even the joint parliamentary group has rejected my communication request-I have something urgent right now. You tell me, what should I do? Who are you looking for?" Dr. Renee said very quickly, "You must know that something happened to the headquarters of the research institute. I went back this time to rescue the precious experimental data. Every time you stop me for a second, you will It’s causing massive losses to the Ark—can you afford this responsibility?!”

"I'm just executing the order." The young agent repeated again, "Only the team leader can contact the person who issued the order."

"What about your team leader?" Dr. Renee suppressed her anger, "Let him come out!"

"Team leader...the team leader has been missing for two days." The young agent complained inwardly. If Team Leader Cheng hadn't gone missing, it wouldn't be his turn to deal with this situation now... Obviously, Team Leader Cheng was displayed on the device. He still stayed on this battleship, but several other agents in the group couldn't find him at all.

They have already searched all the places on the entire battleship. Except for those areas that they have insufficient authority to enter, they have searched every corner at least three times. Let alone Cheng Dong, even Not a single shadow was seen.

Several agents finally came to the conclusion that Team Leader Cheng must be on a secret mission that cannot reveal his whereabouts, and this mission is probably related to that Chief Ke Lan—because not only Cheng Dong disappeared , even that important person disappeared.

For the Security Bureau, this kind of thing is not uncommon, so it is impossible for them to pass the team leader to ask the superiors because of this-even if they do this, they will not get a reply in all likelihood.

"Since you are not allowed to know about this matter, it means that your level of authority is not high enough to know about it." This is one of the instructor's lectures that they have memorized by heart on the first day of their employment.

They are just the most basic field agents, and these people are still very self-aware about how much authority they have.

Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask... The disappearance of team leader Cheng Dong did not cause any disturbance in the No.11 field team. After confirming that the team leader was following Ke Lan to perform special tasks, Several agents of the No.11 field team tacitly returned to their original posts.

Taking a step back, even if the team leader Cheng really encountered any "accident", the people above would go over the team leader and notify them.

However, a day later, what they waited for was not news from Team Leader Cheng, but an order issued by the headquarters of the Security Bureau.

"All research institute personnel on the Zero Fleet are prohibited from returning to the Ark. At the same time, all research topics are suspended, and the personnel are on standby, waiting for follow-up instructions."

The whole content of the order is only so much, and the people above didn't even disclose the reason-but it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the source of the order has no mission, these agents will firmly carry it out.

So that things developed into the present situation.

"Missing?" Dr. Renee's voice couldn't help but increase a few degrees, "I'm afraid he hid on purpose? In order not to let us go back, the Security Bureau really didn't even want to face... This kind of trick is used!"

"It's really missing...My colleagues and I don't know the whereabouts of Team Leader Cheng." The young agent replied that it was impossible to tell someone like Dr. Renee about performing a secret mission. I can only insist on "missing".

"If I remember correctly, you field agents should have subcutaneously implanted positioning systems provided by the Equipment Department, right? Bring your positioning devices here!" Dr. Renee ordered aloud.

"You have no right to give me orders." The young agent flatly refused. At this time, several other agents of the No.11 field team also received the news and rushed to the hangar.

A total of eight Security Bureau agents, together with more than a dozen Marines on the battleship, surrounded the group of white coats... Although they did not draw their guns, non-lethal weapons such as riot shields and electric batons The equipment is already in hand.According to the regulations, in this case, if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they are qualified to take action against the people of the research institute.

Of course, the premise is that a conflict will break out, and the other party must act first-if the Security Bureau and the Marine Corps are the first to act, then the situation will be very unfavorable to them when they are held accountable.

The young agent who had previously negotiated with Dr. Renee gestured to his colleagues who came to support him, and those agents immediately ran behind him, raised their anti-riot shields, and together with the soldiers of the Marine Corps, used the shield wall The entrance of the hangar was tightly blocked by the human wall.

"Fortunately, you provided timely support." The young agent breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back, and stood together with his colleagues.

If the opponent doesn't do anything and just wants to forcibly rush into the hangar, it is enough to block them with shields—these researchers are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and personal physical fitness. When a few marines come out, these white coats who have been inactive all year round can be beaten to the ground.

"Old Bei, try to contact the team leader again to see if you can get in touch." The agent turned his head and said to the colleague next to him, "If they don't want to go back, things may end badly."

The people in the research institute are not enemies, not only that, but from the perspective of Ark and all mankind, each of them can be regarded as "very precious property". If possible, he still wants to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

But when the agent named Laobei was trying to contact Cheng Dong, a researcher standing behind Dr. Renee suddenly took out a metal jar from his white coat and threw it towards the shield wall!

[PS Regarding the deletion... Actually, there is no deletion. I didn't write it at all. Everyone knows that I am an upright person and never lie.

In fact, Ke Lan and the eldest lady are going to play this year's best game of the year "Two People", believe it or not.

Ours is a work for all ages, so naturally there will be no discordant content.

Oh, by the way, there may be sharp-eyed or idle readers who will find that in addition to the reader group that can be added with 500 fans, there is an additional meal group. As for what the meal group is for, of course it is used Come for dinner.

All I can say is, I understand everything.

At present, the entry threshold of the meal group is tentatively set at 5000 fans.

Afterwards, some extra plots, settings and other things I wrote will be thrown into the food group...Maybe, maybe, probably, maybe there will be the part of the plot where Ke Lan and the young lady play online games. 】
