Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 30 Dead Light
"What do you mean?"

"These people are from the ark, not the exiles outside!!"

"Are you sure?" The Hound's tone contained a hint of solemnity. He closed the flaps and quickly dived in the direction of Layton.

"Sure! If you don't believe it, see for yourself." Leighton said with a vow.

"Stop chasing, close the formation, and land!" After the Hound gave an order, he quickly fell down. He took a few trots to buffer the inertia when he fell, and then quickly ran to the man who was subdued by Layton. captives.

When he got closer, the hound realized that the prisoner was about to die. His limbs were twitching constantly, and saliva mixed with white foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Grass, let you scratch your tongue, how can people die!" The Hound kicked Layton's knee.

At this time, Ke Lan also landed on the ground, followed by Ivan, as for Asano Akira, he stayed on the battleship and did not participate in the operation.

"He took the poison before I landed, and the pill melted as soon as I entered the mouth. I couldn't pull it out." Layton raised his finger, which was stained with some saliva and a small amount of paste-like pale yellow powder. .

"Gan... these dead men!" The Hound rubbed the stubble on his chin a little irritably. "By the way, you said just now that this guy is not an exile. Where's the evidence?"

"Look." Layton tore off the camouflage cloak on the deceased, and saw a set of well-made standard light infantry armor inside. Ke Lan had seen this thing in the black market, and a second-hand item could be sold. more than 10,000 credits.

"...It's the 'Ranger IV' armor. Exiles really can't afford such a good thing." The hound squatted down and groped at the waist of the corpse.

"Don't look for it, the production batch and number have been scraped off - but I can guarantee that this armor is definitely new in less than a month, and I can even smell the stamping machine on the armor. The oil smell left behind," Layton said.

"It seems that things are far from simple... We may be involved in a big trouble..." The Hound pouted, "Let's go, go back to the ship, I will tell the lieutenant colonel about it."

"Aren't you going to take the body back? Either take a blood sample, or scan the iris? At least we can find out this guy's identification code." Layton whispered after the hound.

The Hound looked around, and after realizing that they were the only ones who were "our own people", he waved to Layton and said mysteriously, "Come here."

"Huh?" Leighton leaned forward obediently, only to be slapped on the head by the hound.

"Grass! Why are you hitting me?!" Layton was a little aggrieved.

The hound lowered his voice and said: "If you want to court death, don't implicate us... This group of people is obviously very unusual. If we just go back like this and finish the record, then this matter has nothing to do with us. But if We found out the identities of this group of people, and the next terrifying troubles will come up, and they will not be able to get rid of them - all the brothers remember that when they went back to make a transcript, they asked why the biological information samples were not collected. They all said that they had forgotten, those people will only follow the procedures and will not embarrass us."

"Hey... Do you know something, old dog?" Layton glanced at the marines behind him with some concern. Without the hound's order, they certainly wouldn't bring the corpse without authorization.

"I know shit, if I knew, I would have turned into fertilizer!" The Hound spat and said, "Hurry up...let the battleship come and pick us up."

"Wait a minute." Ke Lan grabbed the old dog as if he suddenly thought of something, "Since these people are not exiles, why did they attack us?"

"Hey, it's all said... Let's not go into this matter, don't mess with it if you can't afford it, how can you young people..." The Hound sighed and said.

"I don't mean that, I mean, if they're not exiles, what's the point of their suicidal attack? With just that kind of individual bazooka, let alone shields, even the armor of the battleship I can't even get through it..." After speaking, Ke Lan suddenly realized something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, let the battleship raise the altitude, and adjust the power of the energy shield to the maximum gear! The attack is not over yet! "

"You mean these people are just bait?" The hound was startled and was about to contact the captain, but only a strong electrical noise could be heard on the communication channel.

"Damn it, forget about this!" The hound tried to change several channels, but to no avail. The valley was shrouded in an electromagnetic interference field, and the short-distance communication with a distance of several hundred meters was not greatly affected. But there is no way to contact the battleship.

"Semaphore, do any of you know semaphore?" With a flash of light, Ke Lan ran back to the corpse and cut off the entire camouflage cloak with a dagger.

"I will." Layton took the cloak and was about to wave it, but stopped again, "But...how do I talk to the people on the ship? There are only a few common semaphores...if you replace them with letters If so, there must be at least a hundred actions in this sentence!”

"Idiot, send an enemy signal directly!" The Hound said anxiously.

However... Before Layton could wave his cloak, the ground of the river valley suddenly trembled violently, and then, a dazzling white beam broke through the rock formation and went straight to the battleship in the air!

Almost in an instant, the white light beam collided with the energy shield of the battleship... There was no explosion as expected, and no sparks scattered, only the luster of the energy shield quickly dimmed, as if A pot of hot water was poured on top of the snow, and in just a few seconds, the shield melted away.

"That's... 'Death Light'!!" Layton swallowed hard.

"Death light? What is that?" Ke Lan asked. Compared with the expert Layton, he knew very little about weapons.

"That's the powerful weapon of the Alpha civilization! I didn't expect a 'dead light' buried under the valley!" Layton sighed repeatedly. At this time, the white beam had begun to touch the armor of the battleship, and the large tracts of armor quietly Silently turned into fly ash, and the internal structure of the hull was gradually exposed.

"I don't know how the Alphas did it...they captured a lot of antimatter in a stable state and made it into a weapon, there's nothing to block the death light, it annihilates all matter and energy it comes in contact with ...until the antimatter in it is completely neutralized."

There were explosions everywhere on the battleship, but where it came into contact with the death light, even the shock wave and flames of the explosion were swallowed in...

"Since it is a weapon of Alpha civilization, it must be powered by crystals. If we cut off its energy source, can we stop it?"

Layton shook his head: "Most of the energy weapons of the Alpha civilization use crystals as energy sources, but the death light is an exception. The antimatter it emits was stored by the Alpha people tens of thousands of years ago, and basically does not require external energy... It's just that I don't understand, how do these guys activate 'Death Light'... This thing is not the kind of thing that can be fired by pulling the trigger."

The battleship had begun to disintegrate, a large number of burning debris fell from the air, the smoke dragged out a black trail, and more than a dozen escape pods were ejected from the rear of the battleship-obviously, the captain had issued an order to abandon the ship to escape. The command.

"Sometimes... if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come to you." The Hound stared blankly at the battleship that fell from the sky, and muttered.
