Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 169 The cracked earth

"Not really... I think with the firepower of a fleet, it should be more than enough to deal with these bugs..." said the hound, "We can't afford to take this risk."

"But as far as the current situation is concerned, it's safe to stay at this height, isn't it." Ke Lan glanced over everyone one by one, "Assumption, I mean hypothesis... in case Leviathan really wants to Resurrected... Even if the chance is only one in a billion, if it really hits this one in a billion, the decision we made now is enough to affect the final outcome."

"This time, I'm on Ke Lan's side." Ivan raised his hand, "Everyone should know about Murphy's Law. In this matter, I think it's better not to take chances... Everything must be done." Good or worst plan, if due to our reasons, the fleet fails to take the correct measures at the first time, I think..."

As he said that, Ivan waved his hand suddenly: "Forget it, I don't want to think about that kind of picture at all. Anyway, everyone knows it in their hearts, so I won't say it."

The "Murphy's Law" mentioned by Ivan was proposed by a man named Edward Murphy in the United States in 1949 in the old era. Although it is very difficult to explain the principle, there is only one sentence in summary: Suppose things It's going to get worse, and no matter how small the odds are, it's going to happen.

In other words, as long as it has a probability greater than zero, it cannot be assumed that it will not happen.

In the eyes of others, "Leviathan's resurrection" is indeed an almost impossible thing... However, almost impossible and impossible cannot be equated, as Ke Lan said, "Even if The probability is only one in a billion", then there is always a one in a billion chance of it happening.

And when the reality happens to hit this one in a billion, then the probability of this event is [-]%.

"I also agree to stay." The second person who chose to support Ke Lan turned out to be the "hijacked" Sakurai Na, which surprised everyone a little, but soon, the girl gave her reasons.

"There," she pointed at the base of the Mitsui Consortium that had turned into a sea of ​​blood below, "I have many friends who were killed by that kind of bug. I want to watch the Ark's fleet wipe out these bugs and give them revenge."

"Old dog, Ke Lan is right..." Layton said while sitting in the driver's seat, but he didn't turn around, "If we slip away this time, we will become deserters..."

"Okay!" The hound sat down on the seat, "You won, I was persuaded... Damn, to be honest, if it weren't for fear of death, who would want to be a deserter..."

"Hovering at this height is relatively safe." Ivan calmly analyzed, "The blood column formed by the accumulation of bugs just now has a maximum distance of about 200 meters, and it collapsed before exceeding 300 meters. Another plane crashed because They took off one step later than us, and they didn't have time to increase the altitude... Taking a step back, even if this blood column can climb to our current height, we still have enough time-to choose to go up into the clouds or go horizontally Dodge."

"You can trust my driving skills, old dog!" Layton added, "At the glacier ruins, if the pilot had been me, maybe we wouldn't have crashed!"

"You keep blowing, I'm listening." The hound gave Layton a supercilious look, and then took off the helmet on his head.

Ke Lan noticed that the inner lining of the hound's helmet was almost completely wet with sweat - if it was just the amount of exercise when escaping, it would be impossible to sweat so much. Cold sweat oozing out of tension.

"Actually, it won't be long. With the speed of the main fleet, it only takes a little more than a day to cruise around Alpha Star. According to the principle of deployment at the nearest location, it should be the most elite Ark First Cruise Fleet among all the fleets." , Their stationed airspace is near the Zogel Plain, and the distance from Leviathan will not exceed six hours." Ke Lan glanced at the information he had just searched and said to everyone.

As soon as the words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from directly below!
"Damn it, what happened again?!" The hound jumped up from the seat immediately, and rushed to the door of the cabin without even putting on the helmet. To see the scene directly below, apart from using the camera installed on the belly of the aircraft, the only way is to lean out from the cabin door.

"Ke, Ke...uh...cough cough..." The hound was about to say something, but was suddenly swallowed by the cold wind outside the cabin, and coughed violently.

"I saw it." Ke Lan grabbed the hound by the shoulders and pulled him back. "Things are indeed going in the worst direction..."

At this time, Layton had already projected the images captured by the camera on the belly of the plane onto the large screen in the middle of the cabin, and everyone present saw the dramatic changes below.

The "Blood Sea" composed of crimson flesh worms seemed to be boiling at this moment, and a large number of "Blood Flowers" exploded continuously on its surface. Immediately afterwards, the rock formation below the Blood Sea trembled violently, and countless spider webs Cracks appeared on the ground, and the boiling insect swarm seemed to have finally found a vent, pouring their brains into the cracks.

There are more and more fissures on the rock formation, and it seems that there is something under the rock formation that is constantly expanding, propping up the upper rock formation... Finally, after the rock formation reached its limit, it completely It shattered, and everyone on the plane finally saw "what's below".

It was a giant white spine, covered with cracks, many black columnar crystals grew out of these cracks, entangled with the network-like fleshy fascia outside, and these tightly wrapped giant spines The fleshy fascia is pulsating vigorously at this moment, and every pulsation is accompanied by a powerful contraction of the giant cocoon connected to it... Ke Lan can even see some kind of dark liquid being pumped along the channel inside the fascia. Pump everywhere.

"This...is this...really...impossible...this is Leviathan?!" Due to the shock, the hound even lost the ability to organize language.

"Look! Those bugs! They...they are gathering on the bone surface...God, these, these fascias are actually formed by these bugs!" Ivan stared at the screen with a dull expression, pinching his right thumb hard Touch the tiger's mouth with his left hand to verify whether he is in a dream.

"These bugs 'form' Leviathan." Ke Lan said softly, "Using human flesh and blood as nourishment, they fill in the last gap."
