Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 171 The Battle of Leviathan ([-])

Ke Lan and the others are accommodated by a "Bronze Hammer"-class autonomous supply ship... The so-called "autonomous supply ship" is actually a small unmanned airship. It is usually controlled by AI to follow the formation when cruising. Of course, in When necessary, other warships can also be remotely controlled to perform tasks that AI cannot perform—such as blocking guns for the main battleship that is being fired, or launching a suicide attack on the target with explosives, and so on.

The cost of this type of unmanned ship is generally relatively cheap, only about one-sixth of that of light warships of the same level, but it is very expandable. You can obtain corresponding functions by installing different modules, like Ke Lan and the others. The ship on board is a maintenance type equipped with an emergency repair platform, which can repair damaged friendly ships in the air.

"Fortunately, it's not the meat shield type with heavy armor and shields or the special attack type filled with explosives... If it's that kind of unmanned ship, I'd rather stay on the transport plane." The hound jumped out of the cabin Go down and take a look at the surveillance camera with a blue light in the corner of the containment module - it means someone is watching them at the moment.

But what surprised them was that the First Fleet did not set any restrictions on them except for them to be on standby on this unmanned ship. Except for the engine room and the computer room of the main control core, the All cabins are open to them, even the bridge door is not locked.

The "unmanned" of the unmanned ship means unmanned, but inside the empty ship, there are still living facilities for the crew. The hunting dog took a glass of water from the water dispenser on the side and sat down On top of a sofa that had been flipped down from the bulkhead.

"It seems that the presumed target of the First Fleet's operation this time is undoubtedly Leviathan." Ke Lan looked out through the porthole, and saw that the First Fleet had changed from a double-row cruise formation to an arrow attack formation , was slowly approaching Leviathan, hundreds of fighter jets flew out from the flagship "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship, and arrived above Leviathan first.

"The fight is on!" Layton said excitedly. As a weapon lover, since the First Fleet appeared in his field of vision, he has been in a state of high excitement, and his shining eyes are like Like an old pervert watching countless beauties pass by...

"This wave should be just for reconnaissance." Ke Lan said, and saw that nearly a hundred fighter jets dispersed after flying over Leviathan, and went to the eight mining bases on Leviathan's back respectively—covering Before launching the attack, they had to confirm whether there were any survivors on Leviathan's back who could not escape.

"Let's go to the bridge. The view over there is better." Layton opened the hatch leading to the bridge and waved to everyone.

……

The fighter jets in charge of reconnaissance circled over Leviathan, gathered together again, and flew back towards the fleet.

"It should be that no trace of survivors has been found, and they are going to come back to load heavy anti-ground weapons." Layton explained to everyone.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A dazzling crimson beam of light suddenly shot out from Leviathan's back, directly slashing the returning fighter formation in half!
"boom!!"

A continuous explosion sounded, and almost a dozen fighter jets were blown up by this sudden attack-but this was not over, the crimson beam of light turned around again, and the fighter jets that were swept away They all turned into balls of fire!
"Fuck! What is this?" Layton's eyes widened - not only him, but everyone else felt cold sweat running down their backs... No one thought that Leviathan would have such a long-range attack Means, if this trick had been used before, it would be impossible for the vertical take-off and landing machine they were riding to dodge!
"Leviathan hasn't been fully revived yet, but he already has the ability to launch this kind of attack?" Ke Lan was full of doubts, but before he could say anything, the big screen in the middle of the bridge lit up.

Ke Lan glanced at the number in the upper right corner of the screen. The source of the video signal was the "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship, the flagship of the First Fleet.

"It's a real-time surveillance video shared by the entire fleet! I don't know... this is... a death ray cannon?!" Layton glanced at the screen and exclaimed suddenly.

In a red "valley" where the rock formations have completely fallen off, countless crimson flesh worms gathered together to form a structure shaped like a gun barrel. The crimson beam of light that shot down dozens of fighter jets just now is fired from the barrel.

"No, no!" But Layton quickly shook his head and denied his just judgment, "Although the appearance is exactly the same as the death ray cannon, it is impossible for Leviathan to store antimatter in its body, otherwise it would have been annihilated long ago ...It should be an energy weapon...The source of energy is the huge reserves of crystalline minerals in its body..."

The crimson dim light once again lit up inside the muzzle, but this time the fighter jet formation had already received an early warning, and the originally dense formation broke up in an instant, and at the same time began to use the airborne weapons to fight back.

Another beam of light swept across, but this time, it only shot down two fighters.

"This...isn't this an energy shield?" Layton exclaimed again—a dark red light curtain rose around the "cannon" made of flesh and blood, and the lasers fired by fighter jets The cannon hit the light curtain, causing wave after wave of ripples, but none of them could penetrate the light curtain and damage the cannon below.

"These bugs...can even simulate energy shields?" Ke Lan couldn't help clenching his fists...he couldn't help but think of the mimic fungus he encountered on the way to Leviathan, but the problem is...the mimic fungus only It's just mimicry, "there is nothing but appearance, but nothing inside", even if the mimic fungus is simulated to look like a dead light cannon, they don't have the ability to fire... But these bugs are different, they can not only simulate the appearance, Even the corresponding functions can be copied almost perfectly.

In just a few tens of seconds, several giant cannons "grow" out of Leviathan's body. When these giant cannons fired at the same time, those staggered beams of light instantly formed a giant sheet of light in the air. Net, under the hood against those fighters!
Dozens of fighter jets that had just completed the dive attack pulled up their noses, and before they could even see what was happening, they slammed into this giant net—only one volley, and the number of remaining fighter jets was reduced half!
