Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 695
"It's a pity that the mastermind who planned this attack should not be among this group of people." Ke Lan sighed in his heart.

The most difficult part of this attack plan is not the execution, but the preliminary planning - transporting so many prohibited weapons to the South Fourth District under the noses of the guards, and then arming these hundreds of remnants of heretical sects , the difficulty of this link is already much higher than the attack itself, as long as there is a mistake in any link, it will be discovered by the military or the security bureau.

But the fact is that until the attack started, no one in any department noticed the abnormality.

Judging from the chaotic command at the scene of the attack—or the lack of command at all, the mastermind who planned the attack should have left or hid after sending the remnants of heretical sects and weapons here.If he hadn't arrived in time, this group of people might really be able to wipe out the entire escort team by piles of heads.

Although the attack has been resolved by Ke Lan, the black hands behind the scenes are still at large.

The man behind the scenes who planned the whole attack is the most damned person.

At this time, a soldier with a medical armband came over and handed a tablet computer to Ke Lan: "Report, we temporarily inspected the bodies of the three attackers and found that the dead all have a common feature: Not long ago, I took a very large amount of Mengzao preparation."

"An extremely large amount of Mengzao preparation? How much is an extremely large amount?" Ke Lan asked immediately.

Ke Lan saw Mengzao for the first time when he strayed into the stronghold of a heretic sect in the wilderness—this is a plant fruit with a strong hallucinogenic effect, and its potency is no less than that of the most powerful ones in the old era. the drug.Heretic sects often make incense from dried dream dates, and use its medicinal effects to control their followers.

But dream jujube is a high-standard controlled product on the ark, and the only few cultivation bases are under the strict control of the military and the security bureau. Every potion made from dream jujube has a unique sequence No., from production, transportation, storage to use, must be registered with the supervision department in real time to ensure that every used dream jujube preparation can be traced.

Of course, in reality, the control is naturally not so strict. For example, the director of Nottingham General Hospital can provide Ke Lan with four "concentrated dream jujube preparations" for tens of thousands of credits. If you have enough money, you can also buy dream jujube preparations from formal or informal channels.

Formal channels refer to the Mengzao preparation officially produced by Natural Ark. As for how to avoid supervision, it is very simple to put it bluntly—falsifying medical records: for example, a certain patient has a seizure, or crazily attacks medical staff, and ordinary sedatives cannot When it worked, the hospital had to inject the patient with a dream jujube preparation... like the several dream jujube preparations in the hands of the director of Nottingham General Hospital, it was "saved" in this way.

As for informal channels, there are more: some illegal small workshops secretly planting small-scale plants, "inferior products" that have been diluted and blended with Mengzao preparations flowing out of formal channels, and the source of the largest shipments Location: Outcast colony.

Planting dream dates in the wilderness will not be subject to the official control of the Ark. For some relic hunters, scavengers, mercenaries, hired workers who go out to work, and even soldiers in the field force, smuggling dream dates can bring them a considerable sum Even though the risks are high, there will never be a shortage of people who will take risks if the benefits are there.

However, no matter which channel it is, there will not be too many Mengzao preparations that can be obtained. This thing will always be in short supply in the gray area. Three hundred pieces of Mengzao preparations... This may already be the sum of all the black markets on the ark. A quarter of sales.

"According to the autopsy, the three attackers ingested at least [-] standard units of Mengzao preparation," said the medical soldier.

When the dream jujube preparation is used as a sedative for patients, it generally only uses a dose of 0302 to one standard unit, and the "concentrated dream jujube preparation" that Ke Lan injected into "patient [-]" at Nottingham General Hospital , the capacity is almost exactly one standard unit.

Twenty standard units, that's already a lethal dose!

If each attacker took twenty units of Mengzao preparation, three hundred people would add up to six thousand units!

Even if the Ark officials immediately come up with so many Mengzao preparations, it is still a difficult task.

Moreover, there is another doubt about this matter.

"If these three people had taken twenty units of Mengzao preparation, even if they didn't die suddenly, their bodies should have turned into a puddle of mud... How could they still have the ability to attack the escort convoy?" Ke Rand asked.

Not to mention the Mengzao preparation of twenty units, even if it is a unit, this group of people is probably indistinguishable from the enemy... let alone ambushing in the ruins, as long as the weapons are given to them, they will probably directly attack them. The companions around me fired indiscriminately...

Heretic sects use dream jujube incense to control their believers. The dose of this thing inhaled by the body per unit time is not large. If it is not smoked for a long time, it will only produce a feeling of intoxication like being drunk.Cooperating with the language inducements and psychological hints of those priests and bishops, those believers will firmly believe in the teachings of heretical sects.

"In addition to the preparation of Mengzao, these people also injected the rhizome extract of 'Silver Vein Grass'..." said the medical soldier, "This is also an indigenous plant of Alpha Planet, and its effect can neutralize the effect of Mengzao. Part of the sedative and paralyzing effect, and strengthen the hallucinogenic effect... If it is used in combination with a large dose of dream jujube preparation..."

"What will happen?"

"The research institute has done clinical experiments. The mixed use of these two drugs will turn people into puppets who have no self-awareness and can only obey orders... Moreover, this effect is irreversible. The brain of the drug recipient will be permanently damaged. When the effect of the medicine wears off, they will die directly from brain death."

"Tsk, it really kills two birds with one stone." Ke Lan smacked his lips. In this way, even if those victims were sent to the Security Bureau, they would not be able to interrogate them at all—these attackers themselves were already like Zombie-like living dead.

A key thread is broken.

But another clue emerged before Ke Lan's eyes.

"Dream jujube and silver vein grass are contraband. Such a large quantity can only be provided by large-scale exile settlements in the wilderness. Following this clue, we may be able to track down the hidden mastermind behind the scenes."
