Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 609

"But..." Ke Lan hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Aren't you worried that sending her into the battlefield will cause the situation to develop in an uncontrollable direction?"

"With her ability, we can't control her. What we can do is just guide it." Pan said, "No matter how long a ferocious beast is kept in a cage, the hunting instinct in its blood will not be affected by human beings." It disappears after being fed to her...not to mention she was originally created for the purpose of a weapon..."

"arms……"

"That's right, you have to understand that she is a weapon, a weapon used to kill... This is like human sexual desire, if it is not released, it will cause problems." Pan's analogy Some pornography, but there is no problem with the meaning of the expression.

If a weapon has been stored in the warehouse and is not used, what awaits it is the fate of being rusted and scrapped...but a "weapon" with self-awareness cannot be treated in this way.

"Actually, it's not a last resort, and the crew members don't want to disturb her daily life... It's just that in the current situation, if she doesn't use her ability to solve the problem..."

"Even you guys can't deal with that guy down there?" Ke Lan couldn't help interjecting.

Although he doesn't know the limit of the Undead Crew's ability, what is certain is that they definitely have more than one way to get rid of the black mummy, otherwise this group of people would not be "watching" this farce with peace of mind of.

This group of people is indeed very calm, but they will not be too big-Ke Lan even felt that in the previous "meme infection" incident, even if he was unwilling to wear living armor, the undead crew would probably not The "Tinder Project" will be launched... The reason why Pan said that was entirely to induce himself to put on this damn armor.

But at that time, Ke Lan had no better choice - he didn't wear it, maybe the residents on the ark would not be abandoned because of this, but at least he himself, in all likelihood, had to confess to being in the underground freezer.

"There must be a plan.B...but the problem is that this plan B is very troublesome to operate. It is so troublesome that we even need to spend several years on the preliminary layout. What's more, even if the preliminary work is completed, the final success rate It doesn't necessarily mean how high it is. The best plan is to let her take the shot—unless she doesn't want to take the shot, we'll talk about it."

"Of course, you can rest assured that as the closest human being to her in every sense, I think she should still be willing to wipe your ass for you." Pan added.

"Okay, let me give it a try." Ke Lan hung up the phone after finishing speaking, then turned to look at Cao Ge, "Commander, I need you to provide me with a fast enough plane. A trip to the Ark. In addition, during the time I am away, please keep an eye on the thing below - if there is any change in it, please contact me and the crew immediately."

"Okay, okay..." Ke Lan had hung up the phone for a while before Cao Ge nodded as if waking up from a dream, "May I ask... Are you planning to bring 'her' here? ?”

Although Cao Ge doesn't know what "she" refers to in the dialogue between Ke Lan and Pan, but the information revealed between the lines should at least be something with the appearance of a human female.

"Yes." Ke Lan nodded, then glanced at him.

Cao Ge suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly said: "I know the relevant confidentiality regulations, and I promise that everyone here today will not disclose what they heard."

"...Eh?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "There is no need to be so nervous... Since the guy from the Undead Crew Club told me to use her power to kill the thing below, her existence and ability must be You can't hide it, and you will have to meet her later."

It’s okay if Ke Lan didn’t say anything, but when he said it, Cao Ge became more nervous: “Meeting her...?! Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”

Cao Ge was very impressed by the adjectives in the dialogue between Ke Lan and Pan, "the power to destroy the ark at every turn" and "more dangerous than all the collections in the underground ice storage combined". Bringing "she" to the First Fleet is more disturbing than holding a hydrogen bomb whose fuze has been triggered in both hands.

"Relax, you just need to treat her as an ordinary girl full of curiosity." Ke Lan said, and patted Cao Ge on the shoulder-even though in Ke Lan's own opinion, "curiosity" is originally a person who makes people feel uncomfortable. It is an attribute that cannot be reassured, but at least Zelo's curiosity is still within the normal range. Except for the "that request" that day, there has not been any behavior that violates human ethics.

……

……

As the fastest flying vehicle equipped by the First Fleet, the "Peregrine-class" high-speed reconnaissance plane took Ke Lan back to the ark in only 10 minutes.

As soon as Ke Lan got off the plane, he stepped on the military motorcycle with jet propulsion that had been prepared for him, and rushed towards Zofia's residence.

After Zofia left the ark for Agunaktor, Zelo has been in a state of "living alone"-Ke Lan was a little uneasy at first, but when he found Zofia and Zelo The two "people" have video calls for nearly an hour every day, and their relationship is almost like sisters... I don't know why, but this kind of worry has gradually faded away.

Many times, he almost regarded Zelo as a real human being.

Until today, the conversation with Pan made him suddenly realize a neglected issue——Zero is a life form completely different from human beings. Although she wants to experience human life, she will never experience it. May actually become human.

As Pan said, she is a weapon, a weapon made for the purpose of killing.

When Ke Lan pushed open the study door of Zofia's house, she found that Ze Luo was squatting on a chair, staring at the computer screen with all her attention—while her hands were so fast that you could almost see afterimages He manipulated the keyboard and mouse at an extremely fast speed, and the keyboard kept making crackling sounds.

Ke Lan couldn't help but wonder—with this girl's ability, she should be able to completely abuse her opponent in any game... What kind of game can "force" her to be so concentrated?
Ke Lan took a closer look and found that what was running on the computer screen was a very old real-time strategy game - "Red Alert 2", and an armored force controlled by Ze Luo was in a colorful multinational coalition force. Under the encirclement and suppression, they are retreating steadily.

"Red Police?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment. Although this game is old, it is considered a classic. Of course, he has played it before.The highest difficulty in this game's stand-alone mode is a pair of seven ruthless enemies. For novices who are new to this type of game, the seven ruthless AIs will probably beat him to pieces, but for those who have a certain understanding of the game For veteran players, it's actually not too difficult to be ruthless one-on-one-especially on those maps that can blow up bridges and block terrain.

As for Ze Luo, a humanoid hacker, one-on-one is ruthless, she should be able to press down on the enemy with one hand, right?How could he be forced to this point?
Ke Lan stood behind her and watched for a while, and suddenly discovered the problem - the map that Ze Luo was using was dozens of times larger than the largest map in the original Red Police... In the old era , limited by the computing power of computers in that era, the map size and the number of units of Red Alert were limited, but in this era, any mid-range computer can play Red Alert with tens of thousands of units at the same time. On-screen battles run smoothly.

"It turned out to be a MOD..." Ke Lan muttered in a low voice, and asked again, "What difficulty are you playing?"

"A pair of 120 seven is cold." Ze Luo said.

"Disrespect, disrespect..." Ke Lan glanced at the game time. Although Ze Luo's base had been blown up by the enemy, she still led the remnant soldiers and used various terrains to fight against the enemy. Shengsheng dragged the game time to nearly 10 minutes.

Although the AI ​​of old games like Red Alert can only operate step by step, the gap in quantity is there, especially in games with 2D graphics, attack lock, and simple calculation procedures, there is very little room for players to operate. - 120 seven times the number of enemies, only one side needs to send out a tank and rush in, and the player's base can be flattened, and there is no chance of resistance at all.

F2A is over, any fancy operation, in the face of absolute power, it is an embroidered pillow that is vulnerable.

(Note: F2: Select all units; A: Attack command.)
Soon, the last rhino tank operated by Ze Luo was also blown up by the enemies rushing from all over the mountains and plains. The screen froze, and the words failed jumped out in the middle of the screen.And Ze Luo, who was sitting in front of the screen, sighed slightly, and turned off the game casually.

"Are you back?" Ze Luo turned his head and looked at Ke Lan—in fact, when Ke Lan stepped into the house within a few hundred meters, Ze Luo had already sensed his approach, but at that time She was so busy dealing with enemies that were a hundred times larger than herself that she couldn't get away.

"Yeah, there's something troublesome about you." Ke Lan pulled a chair in front of the bookcase and sat down.

"Did someone discover my existence?" Zelo said blankly.

"How did you know?"

"During this period of time, I have been feeling that something is spying on me... This is a kind of spying that belongs to the five senses of human beings. There is an elusive thought wave that has come into contact with me—well, if you want to use If you use something as a metaphor, it’s as if a fortune teller is divining information about me.” Zeluo said slowly, “This metaphor may be a bit strange, but in the literature I’ve read, the closest thing is This feeling."

"Fortune teller?" Ke Lan was slightly taken aback. Could it be some kind of detection method of the Undead Crew Club?From Ze Luo's description, this detection method seems to have a very strong metaphysical color... Ke Lan feels that this technology has a high probability of originating from Alpha civilization, not human civilization.

"Well, the group of people spying on you is the Undead Crew Club."

"The Undead Crew Association? Who are they?" Ze Luo looked at Ke Lan curiously, "In all the documents I have read, there is no record about this organization."

"Of course they won't appear in this kind of literature that anyone can read." Ke Lan stretched his body back and leaned on the back of the leather chair, "This group of people is secretly controlled by Ark. , is the human civilization - if there is no other human civilization in this world - the supreme ruler."

"Are they human?" Ke Lan thought that Ze Luo would ask something else, but who knew that the first question she asked would be so sharp.

Sharp to the point.

"I'm not sure." Ke Lan shook his head, "I haven't seen them, but I think they are most likely human beings, at least they used to be—and their current way of thinking is no different from that of human beings, and their actions are also similar to human beings. It’s for the sake of the Ark and its inhabitants. At least I’m more willing to believe them than people from heretic sects.”

"You trust them?" Zelo asked.

Ke Lan always felt that this question was very familiar, as if not long ago, someone asked him exactly the same question.

It's just that the questioner and the key person in the question are just reversed.

"I can only choose to believe." Ke Lan's answer is not bad from before.

"What will they do with me?" Zelo asked again.

"One of them told me that they will not come to interfere with your life for the time being... Although I am not sure how long this promise is, at least he is telling the truth, otherwise the person who is looking for you now will not It's me." Ke Lan said, "In addition, I encountered some unsolvable troubles outside..."

"Is it the enemy?"

"It's sort of...a monster summoned by a heretic sect. None of the weapons currently possessed by humans can harm it, but it shouldn't be able to defend against your ability." Ke Lan said.

Ze Luo's ability is related to time and space. To use the proper term in fantasy novels, this level of power is at the level of "the law of heaven and earth". This kind of power cannot be achieved only by the physical strength of the body bearable.

Thanks to the crystallized "blessing", Ke Lan himself has such power, but his ability is still mainly auxiliary in nature. In terms of destructive power alone, it is incomparable with Ze Luo and individual puppets.

"Okay." Zelo nodded.

……

When Ke Lan and Ze Luo returned to the White Ridge Mountains, the entire First Fleet had basically assembled over the White Ridge Mountains. Dozens of dark warships were hovering in the sky at an altitude of one thousand meters. Going, it is full of visual oppression.

"Your Excellency, Commander, how is the situation now?" Ke Lan asked Cao Ge straight to the point as soon as he stepped into the new flagship of the First Fleet.

Cao Ge first glanced at Ze Luo who was following Ke Lan with extremely complicated eyes, and then said to Ke Lan: "The target has no abnormal behavior. During the hour you left, it has been heading towards the ark. Moving in the same direction, passed two peaks, and moved a distance of about seven kilometers."

Crossing a mountain, if used on a person, most likely means that the person has crossed the mountain or passed by the side of the mountain, but when used on a black mummy, it is the literal meaning of "wear Pass".

It moved a distance of seven kilometers, and at the same time abruptly drilled a seven-kilometer tunnel inside the mountain.
