Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 230 Destruction Project

……

When Ke Lan and the guards withdrew to the rear base, the separation procedure finally entered the "third stage" that the officer said: tens of thousands of large locks on the edge of the entire East Ninth District were released at the same time. Open, all power supply, gas supply, water supply and information transmission pipelines are cut off and sealed, the filling plugs at the border are retracted to both sides, and then the dome directly above the East Ninth District is opened, and eight heavy transport ships will cover the entire East Nine District The module hangs into the air.

And the next fourth stage is to let the engineering mecha ride on the floating operation platform, install a large number of rocket thrusters and anti-gravity devices under the module of the East Ninth District, and use the power of these things to send the entire module to the Alpha star. of low-Earth orbit.

Seeing the entire block rising from the ground, Ke Lan also felt a bit of shock in his heart - there is an unattainable gap between the Alpha civilization and what they left behind and the current level of human strength. This is an insurmountable gap... ...and the only way for human beings is to fill this gap at a huge cost, in this way to smooth out the difference in strength between the two sides.

This is true whether it is the flagship that crashed into Leviathan or the East Ninth Block module that was launched into low-Earth orbit—there has never been a saying that "too much is too late" when dealing with such incidents, because as long as there is a wrong move , all mankind will face the risk of extinction.

Ke Lan decided that when he took out the crystal in his palm, he would find a way to get in touch with that undead crew member... This thing is too dangerous to be controlled by him alone... If it gets out of control, Not only would he not be able to survive, but the tens of millions of people on the ark might also be buried with him.

At that time, even if he is asked to hand over the item, he will not have much opinion—this item can no longer be described as a "hot potato", it is clearly a time bomb that may explode at any time, and its The power is enough to affect the entire ark.

But when he stroked the palm of his left hand again, he was surprised to find that the hard cocoon had disappeared, and the crystal wrapped in the cocoon had also disappeared!

"This thing...is it still wandering in the body?" Ke Lan was terrified by this discovery, but the problem is that he can't do a full-body scan now, and he can't find out what the crystal is hiding. place.

"It seems that this problem can only be solved at Ivan's place..." After discovering that the crystals were gone, Ke Lan became more determined to take this thing out of his body—even though he didn't feel any discomfort yet , but if one day this thing gets into the heart or brain, it will be too late even if you want to have an operation.

At this time, the separation operation of the East Ninth District just entered the last link of the fourth stage: ignition and launch.

"Everyone, prepare for the impact!" The officer shouted loudly, and the soldiers wearing exoskeletons pulled up the protective panels one after another. The four-meter-high and half-meter-thick composite protective panel directed the entire camp to the side of the East Ninth District They were all firmly blocked, and further back, a metal wall like a great wall rose directly from the ground, firmly protecting the residential area in the bordering block.

"It's time to ignite!" The officer looked into the distance through the observation window on the protective panel, "All unprotected personnel hide in the building!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a wave of air slapped directly on the thick protective plate, and hundreds of light blue flames spewed out from under the entire East Ninth District module, and began to accelerate upward.

The eight heavy transport ships in charge of towing have already untied the slings and avoided moving to the sides.

"By the way... such a large irregular living module, without the protection of the outer shell, will disintegrate during the flight, right?" Ke Lan shouted at the officer with his loudest voice, and only in this way, the other party can Hear what he is saying.

"Don't worry, if there is disintegration, the fallen pieces will be removed by the Ark's anti-aircraft firepower and guard fleet. As for the main gun of the Ark, it has always been locked on the Arasaka Tower in the center!"

The East Ninth District module quickly rose to a height of 1000 meters, and debris and debris continued to fall from the module, but before these things fell on the ark below, they were already in the air by lasers from all directions. The beam was vaporized in an instant.

Not long after, the East Ninth District module turned into a speck of light in the field of vision, and with a burst of buzzing, a blazing beam of light thicker than the diameter of the base of the Arakasa Tower chased after it, and in an instant, the entire night sky It was reflected like daylight!
At this moment, Ke Lan suddenly felt a stabbing pain all over his body, and almost fell to the ground with a weak leg—fortunately, everyone around him was looking up at the magnificent explosion scene in the sky, and no one noticed him different.

"Is this a chain reaction caused by the destruction of the thing in the Iron Maiden..." Ke Lan lowered his head, clenched his right fist, and once again urged his mind to activate the ability of "Frozen Time". Everything turned into black and white, and even the gorgeous "fireworks" blooming in the sky became a still picture.

The ability still exists, but Ke Lan suddenly has a feeling that is completely different from the previous release of the ability - the "shackles" imposed on his body seem to have been weakened a lot!

He tried to move the little finger of his left hand, only to see that the joint at the top of the little finger was slightly bent, and the movement range was less than half a centimeter, and the state of frozen time was lifted.

But my fingers did move!Before the time freeze is lifted!

Ke Lan's breathing couldn't help speeding up, he realized that this ability is definitely not "thinking acceleration", but a genuine "time stop"!Moreover, as long as he can unlock some kind of restriction, he can move in the stopped time!
Why is there such a change?Was it because of the disappearance of the crystals, or because the Iron Maiden was completely destroyed?Or is it related to both?
"Okay, the fireworks are over, I think I have to go, can you lend me a car?" Ke Lan tried his best to suppress the doubts in his heart, and said calmly to the officer.

"Where are you going? We can send someone to take you back!" Hearing that Ke Lan said he was leaving, the officer said hastily.

"No, I can drive by myself. I don't like the feeling of being surrounded by people like protected animals." Ke Lan pointed to a light armored hover vehicle parked in the camp, "I think this car is good, it can Can you lend me two days?"
