Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 1032 Victory?

Just when Ke Lan had a headache about how to deal with these "shield generators", a streamer flying at high speed along the low-earth orbit of Alpha Star appeared in his vision!

This is an attack from the back of Alpha Star. As soon as this stream of light appeared, Ke Lan had already calculated its attack target and launch location with the help of the powerful computing power of the New Moon Fortress—this stream of light came from the old The target of the shot from Moon Fortress was the Pale Fleet that was approaching the new moon!
"Old Moon...how did you forget the old moon!" Ke Lan slapped his head, the New Moon Fortress and the Old Moon Fortress faced each other, and they could form a defensive formation with Alpha Star at a critical moment ——Although doing so will lead to secondary disasters caused by a large number of gravitational anomalies erupting on the surface of Alpha Planet, compared to the crisis that Alpha civilization may encounter, this secondary disaster is not worth mentioning.

And without changing the relative position, there is another way for the Double Moon Fortress to support each other - that is to use the "gravitational orbit" to bypass the Alpha star, so that the attack trajectory presents a semicircular curve.

Using the gravity of Alpha Star, a mass of plasma wrapped in a magnetic field crossed half of the sky of Alpha Star along the low-Earth orbit, and circled to the immediate rear of the Pale Fleet—the place where the defense of the joint energy shield is the weakest.

The Alpha people who stayed at the Old Moon Fortress did not disappear because of the paradox. They were obviously also paying attention to the battlefield all the time, and extended a helping hand to Ke Lan at this critical moment.

The plasma group exploded behind the pale fleet, and a large-scale blue-white arc ravaged the entire battlefield in an instant. It first tore the joint shield, and then swallowed the entire fleet.

From the time when this streamer of light appeared from the back of Alpha Star until the entire pale fleet was destroyed, it took only 15 seconds.

"Beautiful fight." Ke Lan gave a thumbs up to the Old Moon Fortress on the other side from afar across Alpha Planet.

"They shouldn't be able to see this scene." Selene said, "From the moment the garrison of the Old Moon Fortress decides to support you, the space-time paradox will start to take effect... Now the entire Old Moon Inside the fortress, it is estimated that there are no survivors."

"..." Ke Lan was silent for half a second, then nodded, "I see."

The Pale Fleet was completely annihilated, and the World Extinct Tree remained silent for a while. Ke Lan just watched helplessly as the charging progress bar of the Star Destroyer was filled up bit by bit until the time when it was about to launch. For a moment, the other party did not take any countermeasures.

The ground troops dragged near the ark have successfully withdrawn from the battlefield, and Yagunaktor has also moved away from the shooting path of the Star Destroyer—everything is ready, only Ke Lan presses Press the "launch" button.

Ke Lan has already returned to the central control room of the New Moon Fortress—the New Moon Fortress integrates the top technology of the Alpha civilization, but the shape of the launch button in front of him is really "retro": a console made of alloy, with anti- A bright red physical button is covered by a falsely touched metal mesh, just like the nuclear bomb launcher that often appears in old era movies.

As long as you press this button, everything will be over, right?

Perhaps the future of human civilization is still hidden in the darkness, but at least, human civilization can gain a breathing space for hundreds of years.

The development speed of human civilization is getting faster and faster. It took thousands of years for human beings to learn how to smelt metals from slash-and-burn farming, but in modern times, many things that originally only existed in fantasy works are only a few decades or even a few years old. It took only a few years to become a reality... Now, with the addition of the legacy left by the Alpha civilization, a few hundred years is enough for human civilization to change many things.

Ke Lan held his breath, gently lifted the metal mesh cover, without hesitation, directly pressed the bright red button to the bottom.

The surface of the new moon began to vibrate, and countless cracked lines began to spread around the Grand Canyon. Ke Lan only saw the countless flickering crystallization circuits in the central control room go out for a moment, and a beam of light gray light came out. Shot out from the depths of the canyon.

To be precise, this beam of light did not seem to be "shot", but connected the New Moon Fortress and Alpha Star at the moment it appeared.

On the other side of the light is the "World Extinct Tree" so towering that it penetrates from the top of the radiation cloud.

Just like dropping a drop of ink into clear water, the same gray spread along the trunk of the World Extinct Tree at an extremely fast speed. Starting from the ends of the branches and leaves, the parts that were stained with gray gradually turned into ashes, and then Then it is decomposed into particles smaller than ashes, which cannot be observed by human naked eyes.

The entire decomposition process seemed slow, but in fact it only took less than a second - the towering Tree of Extinction has completely disappeared from this world, leaving only the astonishing diameter at the core of the ark. giant hole.

"It's... is it over...? We... have won?" Rear Admiral Alexander muttered while standing by the observation window of the bridge, watching the giant tree disappear. It was trembling constantly.

A few seconds later, excited cheers resounded throughout the bridge, and many people jumped up from their positions, yelling and waving their fists and arms, expressing their inner emotions to their heart's content; some people knelt Sitting on the ground, weeping and muttering something in a voice that only they can hear; some people just sat silently in their positions without saying a word, like a stone statue.

For the officers and soldiers on the Skadi, almost every one of them had relatives or loved ones who died in the turmoil. The moment they set foot on the battlefield, they were all ready to sacrifice— —Although they are not afraid of death, in the eyes of most people, the Survivor Alliance has almost no chance of winning this war.

The reason why they are willing to step on the battlefield is only to fight for the dignity of being a human being.

But now, the unshakable giant tree was actually annihilated in the gray light that pierced the sky... This kind of scene even made many soldiers on the battlefield wonder if they had hallucinations.

"He succeeded...Ke Lan, he really succeeded..." General Magino, who stayed at the front and marched into the camp, supported the threshold of the barracks and looked at the distant sky - just a minute ago, the unparalleled giant tree The tree is still connected to the land of Alpha Planet and the endless clouds above, but now, it has disappeared so completely.So much so that people can't help but doubt...whether it really appeared there.

"The latest battle reports and instructions came from Yaguna Ketor." Levi walked to General Maginot and whispered, "The Star Destroyer Cannon of the New Moon Fortress was successfully launched, and the World Extinct Tree can be observed The part that arrived has been completely annihilated. But the combat units still cannot relax their vigilance, and no one is strictly prohibited from approaching the ark. Aircraft are also strictly prohibited from flying over the ark within a radius of [-] kilometers. The follow-up cleaning operation will be carried out by the Hunting God Hunting Group Take over."

Hearing the second half of the battle report, General Magino's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he hurriedly asked: "This means...we haven't really won yet? By the way, what about the members of the Undead Crew Club? Is it just a sentence?" Didn't you mention it at all?"

"That's all the content of the document..." Levi handed the tablet computer in his hand to Machino, "Maybe it's out of caution? After the hunting god hunting team has thoroughly checked the inside and outside of the ark, they should be able to I have come to a conclusion... Oh yes, there is another piece of news that was sent along with this battle report."

"Say." Magino did not look at the platform in his hand, but still raised his head, looking in the direction of the ark.

"The blocking battle against the Mimic Fleet in Yagunaktor...the second member of the Hunting God Hunting Group, Mr. Hound and Mr. 33... were killed."

"Nick is dead?" The fat on Magino's face twitched, "What are you kidding?"

"General, I... I'm not joking, and I won't joke about this kind of thing." Levi sighed, "This message was sent by Mr. Chi Hanfeng from the Hunting God Hunting Group, and its credibility should be ..."

"It's impossible! Nick, who is so afraid of death and so slippery, how could he die in battle? Even if everyone else is dead, I don't believe he will die in battle!" Magino's speech speed was slightly accelerated, "This must be Where did you make a mistake...Let the communications officer check it out again!"

"Yes..." Levi nodded, but before he could turn around and leave, an officer with the rank of second lieutenant rushed in and said out of breath to Maginot and Levi: "General...general, return, and the chief of staff...the troops withdrawn from the front...something happened...something happened!"

"What happened?" Maginot and Levi asked in unison, their hearts tightened at the same time.

"The bodies of many soldiers have begun to mutate, and many eyeballs have grown on their bodies... Yes, that's right, they are eyeballs... Those eyeballs seem to be alive... This mutated symptom is spreading wildly in the military camp. Currently, No. [-], The No. [-] and No. [-] camps have fallen into complete chaos, and there are also rumors that there are mutants in the No. [-] and No. [-] camps!"

"There are many eyeballs growing on your body?" Machino was surprised. He was not involved in the memetic infection incident in the institute, but he learned a lot about the incident from several people in the Hunting God Hunting Group. If this person If the second lieutenant's statement is correct, then the "mutation phenomenon" that suddenly broke out in the army is probably a memetic contagion event!
"It's a meme!" said Maginot. "Send me an order...no, just use the All-Army radio channel, everyone, cover your eyes and don't open your eyes to see whatever happens. Then turn on The voice-activated map in the personal communication terminal moves under the guidance of the voice-all those who have mutated, go to the No. [-] and No. [-] camps to gather; those who feel unwell, go to the No. [-] and No. [-] camps; People who feel that their bodies are abnormal, all gather in the No. [-] camp! In addition, cut off all closed-circuit monitoring equipment in the barracks, and all things with cameras, including communication terminals, vehicle intelligence systems and tactical mechs , Disable all of them! Shut down the army’s internal network, and don’t let any video or image files spread on the network!”

After giving these orders in one breath, Machino gasped heavily. After watching the second lieutenant turn and leave, he took out the water bottle and took a big gulp with his head raised.

"Is it the 'memetic infection' that Mr. Ke Lan and the others mentioned before?" Levi's expression was also a little nervous. "It is said that this kind of mutant symptoms will be contagious as long as you see it?"

"That's right... But I'm not sure if the 'meme' spreading in the barracks is the same as the 'meme' that was spreading in the research institute last time... Different memes have different ways of spreading, In addition to vision, hearing, touch, smell...any sense of human beings may become a channel for the spread of memes. According to Ke Lan, the most terrifying memes can be spread through cognition, that is, when When you know that the 'meme' itself exists, you have been 'infected' and become the carrier of this 'meme'... This is also the ultimate form of all 'memes' evolving to the end."

"Then this 'meme' that is breaking out now..."

"Judging from the mutation symptoms, it seems to be the 'meme' from last time... But I'm not sure, because there is only one meme infection event with accurate records, and no one knows what other memes look like ...I can only pray that the 'meme' spread this time is the same as last time...at least we still know how to deal with this 'meme', if it is a different one, I can't imagine..." Macino trembled.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Levi asked—he, who has always been calm, inevitably felt a little flustered in his heart when he encountered such things beyond his own cognition.

"Inform Ke Lan immediately...Only they can handle this kind of thing," Magino said.

……

New Moon Fortress, central control room.

Layton's phantom appeared in the blue beam of light, and he said anxiously to Ke Lan: "Yagunaktor just received news that there was a suspected 'meme infection' incident among the ground troops. As of the time when the news was released, the number of mutants and suspected mutants had reached as many as 5. The commander of the ground forces, General Maginot, had issued a 'banning order', and the mutants and normal people were screened. Quarantine...but the ground forces are now in complete disarray, and General Maginot's orders are difficult to carry out and are asking us for assistance."

"Meme infection? What kind of mutation sign?"

"It's exactly the same as last time, with eyeball-like organs growing all over the body." Layton said, "The transmission speed is extremely fast, but the specific transmission route has not yet been clarified."
