Alien Relic Hunter
Chapter 692 Follow the clues
"It's a pity that the mastermind who planned this attack should not be among this group of people." Ke Lan sighed inwardly.
The most difficult part of this attack plan is not the execution, but the early planning - transporting so many prohibited weapons to the South Fourth District under the eyes of the garrison, and then arming these hundreds of remnants of the heretical sect , the difficulty of this link is much higher than the attack itself. If there is any flaw in any link, it will be discovered by the military or the security bureau.
But the fact is that until the attack began, no one in any department noticed anything unusual.
Judging from the chaotic command at the attack site - or simply the lack of command, the mastermind who planned the attack should have left or hid after delivering the remnants of the heretical sect and weapons here. If they hadn't arrived in time, this group of people might have been able to annihilate the entire escort team by piling their heads on top.
Although the attack has been resolved by Ke Lan, the mastermind behind the incident is still at large.
The person behind the whole attack was the one who deserved the most damning.
At this time, a soldier with a medical armband came over and handed a tablet to Ke Lan: "Report, we temporarily examined the bodies of the three attackers and found that the deceased all had a common feature: in I smoked a very large amount of Mengzao preparations not long ago.”
"A very large amount of Mengzao preparation? How much is an extremely large amount?" Ke Lan asked immediately.
Ke Lan had seen Meng Zao when he first strayed into the stronghold of a heretic sect in the wilderness - it is a plant fruit with strong hallucinogenic effects, and its potency is no less than those of the most powerful ones in the old era. drug. Heretical sects often make incense from dried dream dates and use its medicinal properties to control their followers.
But Mengzao is a high-standard controlled product on Ark. The few cultivation bases are under the strict control of the military and the Security Bureau. Each potion made from Mengzao as raw material has a unique sequence. No., from production, transportation, storage to use, all must be registered with the supervision department in real time to ensure that every used Mengzao preparation can be traced.
Of course, in reality, the control is naturally not so strict. For example, the director of Nottingham General Hospital was able to provide Ke Lan with four "concentrated dream date preparations" for tens of thousands of credits. Similarly, on the black market, some As long as you have enough money, you can also buy Mengzao preparations from formal or informal channels.
Formal channels refer to the Mengzao preparations officially produced by Nature Ark. As for how to avoid supervision, it is very simple to put it bluntly - falsify medical records: for example, a certain patient has an epilepsy, or attacks medical staff crazily, and ordinary sedatives cannot When it took effect, the hospital had to inject a tube of Mengzao preparation into the patient... The several tubes of Mengzao preparation in the hands of the director of Nottingham General Hospital were "saved" in this way.
As for informal channels, there are more: some illegal small workshops that secretly carry out small-scale cultivation, "second-rate products" that are diluted and blended from the Mengzao preparations flowing out of formal channels, and the sources with the largest shipment volume. Place: The place where the exiles live.
Planting dream dates in the wilderness is not subject to official control of Ark. For some ruin hunters, scavengers, mercenaries, employees working outside and even soldiers in the field force, smuggling dream dates can bring them a considerable amount of money. Although the risks are high, the benefits are there and there will never be a shortage of people who take risks.
However, no matter which channel, there are not too many Mengzao preparations that can be obtained. This thing is always in short supply in the gray area. Three hundred Mengzao preparations... This may have been all the black markets on the Ark combined. sales volume in one quarter.
"According to the autopsy results, the three attackers took at least twenty standard units of Mengzao preparation," the medical soldier said.
When Meng Zao Preparation is used as a sedative for patients, it usually only uses a dose of 0.5 to one standard unit. However, like the "Concentrated Meng Zao Preparation" that Ke Lan injected into "Patient No. 0302" at Nottingham General Hospital , the capacity is almost exactly one standard unit.
Twenty standard units is already a lethal dose!
If each attacker had taken 20 units of Mengzao preparation, but for 300 people, the total amount would be 6,000 units!
Even if Ark officials were to come up with so many Mengzao preparations immediately, it would still be a difficult task.
Moreover, there is another doubt about this matter.
"If these three people had taken 20 units of Mengzao preparation, even if they had not died suddenly, their bodies would have turned into a puddle of mud long ago... How could they still have the ability to attack the escort convoy?" Ke Lan asked.
Not to mention twenty units of Mengzao preparations, even if they were one unit, this group of people would probably be indistinguishable from the enemy... Let alone ambushing in the ruins, as long as the weapons are given to them, they will probably attack directly. The companions around me were shooting indiscriminately...
Heretic sects use dream date incense to control their believers. The dose of this thing inhaled by the body per unit time is not large. If it is not inhaled for a long time, it will only produce a feeling of intoxication like being drunk. With the verbal inducement and psychological suggestions of the priests and bishops, those believers will firmly believe in the teachings of the heretical sect.
"In addition to Mengzao preparations, these people also injected the rhizome extract of 'Silver Vein Grass'..." the medical soldier said, "This is also an indigenous plant from Alpha Star, and its effect can neutralize the effects of Mengzao." Partially sedative and paralyzing, and enhancing the hallucinogenic effect...if used in combination with a large dose of Mengzao preparation..."
"What will happen?"
"The institute has conducted clinical experiments. The mixed use of these two drugs will turn people into puppets that have no self-awareness and can only obey orders... Moreover, this effect is irreversible. The brain of the recipient will be permanently damaged. After the drug wears off, they will die directly from brain death."
"Tsk, you really kill two birds with one stone." Ke Lan smacked his lips. In this way, even if those survivors were sent to the security bureau, nothing would come out of the torture - these attackers themselves were already like Like a zombie, the living dead.
A key clue is broken.
But another clue emerged in front of Ke Lan's eyes.
"Dream dates and silver vein grass are both contraband. Only large-scale exile settlements in the wilderness can provide such large quantities. Following this clue, we might be able to track down the hidden mastermind."
