"Er … there is no official manager here. We will leave directly after unloading the goods," replied the captain.
"Then why don’t they touch it?"
"This ….. this is the stipulation of the alliance that the unloading process should be recorded, which is not our decision." The captain pointed to a crew member who was watching the video, and said, "In order to prevent corruption, the whole unloading process should be filmed in the alliance database for filing. The transport ship did not leave before, and everything should be done according to the rules set by the alliance. After we leave, what they want to do with these materials will be lost to us."
"It’s really rigid," Ivan said in a complaining tone. "If this kind of video is made public, it will be very bad for the alliance, right?"
"If it’s not public, it’s all data." The captain lowered his voice slightly. "And even if it’s public, no one will believe it."
The whole unloading process took about an hour and a half, and the crew of the transport ship finally checked the airtight valve of the docking passage and returned to the transport ship. Then the door closed and the docking passage in the unloading area closed for a while, and the transport ship quickly left the world.
Twenty miners, including three bodies of Koran and Asano Akira, were left to arm Leighton and Ivan, who were a little far away from the container, and watched the local people on the periphery back to back with great vigilance.
Finally, these people came towards them.
They were divided into two groups, some of them walked towards the container, others surrounded the new miners, while Leighton and Ivan were completely seen by them.
When there are more than ten meters away from these people, Koran has already smelled the unbearable smell of their bodies, but what is more disturbing than the smell is that these people pulled out their weapons from the cloak.
Their weapons are mainly irregular concrete blocks and rusty steel pipes, and some people are holding sharp polished metal sheets. The front end of the metal sheets seems to be stained with some blood that has been dry for a long time.
"There are thirty-five … thirty-six people leaned over with crude weapons in their hands." Kelan said to Asano Zhao.
At this time, Asano Zhao has clenched the combat knife disguised as a guide rod, and his thumb has picked a cloth sword wrapped with a handle, which can be drawn at any time … But for a second, Kelan grabbed his forearm and shook it slightly, indicating Asano Zhao not to make a move.
"Their goal … is not us."
These local people came near, but instead of shooting at the miners, they found those critically ill patients lying on stretchers.
The concrete block was lifted high, and then the screaming came to an abrupt end.
Chapter three hundred and fifty-five New here
"He, they …? ！” Leighton looked at this scene with a face of shock in the distance and couldn’t help but retreat two steps.
"They killed those people who have been seriously ill for a long time, perhaps to help them end their pain?" Ivan Shen said
In a short time, three bodies were added. Kelan noticed that the local people would pull out several teeth of the deceased and put them in their pockets after killing the seriously ill. The faces of these bodies were smashed into a bloody mess, and individual bodies were even pried open by steel pipes with their entire jaws. Those concrete blocks knocked the teeth of the gums one by one and then put them in their pockets like treasures.
"Collect the teeth of the dead what to do? Is this a custom of’ sick village’? " Ke Lan wondered in his heart that these people who were killed were all seriously ill with radiation sickness, and their bodies were a source of high-intensity radiation pollution, and the radiation intensity of their bones and teeth was no less than those of dangerous high-purity radioactive ores.
In the old era, radiation pollution accidents often happened to some people. Some metal wastes or raw ore with high radioactivity were sent to the garbage treatment plant as ordinary garbage, and the scavengers took them home as "treasures". As a result, within a few days, the scavengers and their families experienced dizziness, nausea and vomiting, followed by anemia and skin ulceration … When they realized that something was wrong, they rushed to the hospital, and the medical technology in that era was hopeless.
But the actions of these sick village residents are almost different from the "suicide behavior" of scavengers in the old era, and Kelan can’t understand their purpose.
But on second thought, since these people can live in the "sick village" for a long time, their body structure must have undergone indescribable variation. Maybe they are not afraid of this radiation as much as themselves?
Or is radiation not only harmless to them, but also a source of their strength?
Although the second guess is exaggerated, it is not unreasonable. Radioactive matter is a kind of energy, but human physiological structure law has absorbed this form of energy … but this is only for human beings.
There are many indigenous creatures like Alpha, who just like to stay in areas with strong radiation. For them, radiation is not a threat, but an extremely valuable "nutrient". The more radiation they absorb, the stronger their own strength will be.
If that human body has mutate into this shape, it is not difficult to explain the strange behavior of these people.
But it doesn’t seem right to think about it carefully. If it is to obtain radioactive materials, why do you keep the intact bones and collect a few teeth without taking them?
Is this really a custom and has no practical significance?
At this time, those people have arranged the bodies in a row, while the guy with huge sarcoma on his back, hands and feet and the guy slowly climbed to the front of the bodies in the row, stretched out his withered palm and gently stroked the top of each body.
"This man seems to be the leader of these guys?" Koran silently watched all this behind his miners.
"My fellow citizens, at the end of your miserable life, you will no longer suffer or feel hungry. This is the end and the starting point …"
Kelan zheng slightly, which one is this? Read the eulogy?
His voice is as hoarse as a broken bellows and as harsh as two rusty iron pieces rubbing against each other, but no matter how ugly the voice is, Ke Lan can feel the piety in it … This kind of emotion is hard to forge. Even if they read the same prayer, they will feel completely different.
