Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 153 Escape Plan
Two 10 minutes later.

"Hey, finally came out." The hound was the first to drill out of the mine - before that, they had already used drones to investigate the situation at the entrance: there were no monsters, but there was no one who was still alive.

"It seems that there are quite a few monsters attacking this camp." Ke Lan glanced at the few siege tanks not far away, only to see that these war machines that used to have thick armor now only have one Looking at Kong's skeleton, he could even imagine the desperate expressions of the crew members in the tank when they faced the rain of acid.

The only way to counter the acid attacks of these monsters, other than fighting them personally, is the energy shield... Presumably the situation at the base may not be so bad...

"I've tried all the communication lines." Layton got out from under a collapsed tent in the camp, and shook his head at Ke Lan. "They're all broken, and none of them can get in touch with the base."

"Ke Lan, you decide, what to do now." The hound glanced at the corpses in the camp, and directly handed over the decision to Ke Lan.

"First of all, we have to analyze the current situation." Ke Lan walked to a blood-stained table, put the tablet on it, and opened the overhead map of the mining area.

"This is the No. 11 mine, and next to it are the No. [-] and No. [-] mines." He marked three red dots on the map, and then drew a circle based on these three red dots, "These two mines It is the closest to the No. [-] mine, if there are other exits, then these two mines are the most likely."

"In addition, it took less than an hour from the time when the No. [-] mine was blocked by the landslide to when these monsters rushed out of the ground to launch an attack. Do you think this may be a coincidence?"

"I don't think so." Ivan shook his head.

"I also think... If those monsters were going to attack, they would have killed them long ago. The troops outside can't stop them at all. There is no need to act after the No. [-] mine is blocked, so there is one less exit. " said the hound, "You mean...the sound of the siege tank firing drew these monsters out?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ke Lan began to speak faster, "But what is certain is that there is an inevitable connection between the monster's attack and the tank's firing... Judging from the mobility of this monster in the mine, Calculate the time difference when the camp outside the No. [-] mine was attacked, and it is basically certain that the place where the monster appeared is within this red circle... Now, all the human camps within this red circle have been slaughtered by monsters, although we can't do anything here. Gather more people, but at least the area is safe for now."

Ke Lan drew another straight line on the map, connecting the mining base of the Soma Consortium with the red circle just now: "These monsters have no concept of stationing in the occupied area. They are like a plague of locusts on the earth, killing all the people in an area. Humans immediately rushed to the next area, and as the last human stronghold in this mining area, these monsters must be concentrated in the base now."

"But there seems to be no movement at the base. Could it be that they were also killed?" Layton said.

"Not so fast." Ke Lan said, "I checked the architectural design drawings of this base on the way here. Although it may not take long for monsters to break through the outer defenses, the various bunkers, secret passages, and permanent fortifications inside the base are definitely enough. Support for more than twelve hours, let alone those heavy firepower devices installed in the core area..."

Speaking of this, Ke Lan's face suddenly changed, and his fingers stopped at the top of the screen: "But..."

"But what?" The hound asked hastily upon seeing this.

"However, the premise of this assumption is that the base's command system is still in normal operation. If Mr. Manstein loses his command for some reason, the base's defense system will not be able to play a corresponding role. The effect...a troop without a leader is completely vulnerable..."

"Why do you think that Manstein will lose his command? If he loses his command, those siege tanks can still fire and bury us in the mine?" said the hound.

"Let's not talk about whether the order to fire the guns was given by Manstein. If according to your idea, old dog, Manstein ordered his subordinates to blow up the mine tunnel and bury us alive in order to retaliate against us, then he should What did you do? Could it be that you continued to stay in the base and wait for the investigation team sent by the headquarters of the consortium?"

"If I were Manstein," Ivan said after taking Ke Lan's words, "the choice I would make would be to defect to other consortia with the secret of ultra-purity crystals, and find a way to fake my own death in exchange for a brand new one. Judging from the value of this information, other consortiums are likely to take the risk of antagonizing the Soma Consortium to cover this person."

"If this guy really slipped away, wouldn't the base be in an unowned state?" Layton suddenly said, "No wonder the sound of firefighting disappeared... It seems that the base has probably fallen."

"This old bastard!" The hound slammed his fist heavily on the table, "Then what shall we do now? Are we waiting here for rescue?"

"Staying here is not necessarily safe. I think we still have to move closer to the base. If we can get a plane or a car, then leave Leviathan directly. If we don't find a vehicle... we You can also hide in the safe house underground in the base, where the supplies are enough for the few of us to spend two or three months."

"Safe house? There is a safe house in this base? Why don't I know?"

"It's the small vault used to store refined crystals. The ceiling, floor, and walls of this vault are made of pure Nino alloy interlayers, which are not afraid of the acid corrosion of those monsters, and there are sixty units of them inside. Emergency reserves, including food, fresh water, and oxygen generators." Ke Lan said that the existence of the vault is not a secret, but only the top person in charge of the base has the authority to open it... If Ke Lan's "death message" If it has not been sent back to the headquarters of the Ark Consortium, then he is still the top person in charge of this base, and even Manstein cannot open this small vault.

"That's a good idea, but the base must be full of those monsters now... I'm afraid we won't be able to get in." The hound said with a look of embarrassment.

"Don't worry about this, you can see here, those monsters have no interest in the human base at all, they have only been doing one thing since they came out of the mine - that is killing, as long as the humans in the base are killed After the light, they will definitely leave... Either return to the mine, or set the mining bases built by other consortiums on Leviathan as new targets."
