Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 319 Valkyrie
In the 40th year of the new era, Alpha Star, FS009 theater.

An iron-gray transport ship parted the leaden-gray thick cloud layer and fell towards the sand dunes directly below.

800 meters... 600 meters... 400 meters... The reading on the altimeter is getting smaller and smaller, and more than 100 "walker" biped tactical mechas in the airdrop cabin are also ready to parachute.

But at this moment, a sharp-eyed pilot suddenly said: "This sand dune... seems to be not right, why do I feel like there is something moving below?"

"Is it the wind?" said another pilot.

"No! No! Something is really moving!" At this time, the transport ship was only 200 meters above the ground, and through the open hatch and the monitor on the mech, everyone could clearly see that this A piece of sand dune is constantly rolling like ocean waves, and in the gaps between the gravel, dark brown carapaces and arthropods can still be vaguely seen...

"Levi!" Chi Hanfeng immediately realized the problem, and shouted to his adjutant, "Check the airdrop coordinates immediately!" With a trembling, "Report, report... Major, the preset coordinates have deviated, our current position is '719, 451'... and the originally planned airdrop point should be '619, 451'... ..."

A difference of one number caused their position to deviate by a full hundred units to the north... In other words, the sand dune below was exactly located in the hinterland of the habitat of the group of bugs, under the surging gravel, In fact, there are tens of millions of lairs...

"Contact the headquarters immediately! Let them modify the preset airdrop coordinates!"

"No! The interference in this place is too strong, we can't get in touch with the command!"

"Fuck... everyone, abandon armor immediately, we... are finished! It's too late!" Chi Hanfeng thumped in his heart, watching the indicator light in the airdrop cabin turn from red to green.

All the "walker" mechas are fixed on the airdrop bracket by the mechanical arm, and the cockpit door directly above is just in front of a metal beam with a slide rail. Get out of the cockpit!

The fully automatic airdrop procedure has been activated, the chains and pulleys began to rotate slowly, and the "walker" mechs were like poultry that had been cleaned and hung on hooks on the factory assembly line, being carried to the cabin by the mechanical arm Besides, throw yourself into the battlefield below...

No... this is not a battlefield at all... it's a slaughterhouse...

Valentina clutched the joystick of the mech nervously. This was her first time on the battlefield. Although she had killed tens of thousands of native creatures on the simulator, her limbs still couldn't bear it at this time. Lives trembling slightly.

"I can't help it." Chi Hanfeng sighed, his mecha was in front of Valentina, "Valentina, remember, after you go down, go directly to the big army to hold a group, keep moving, keep firing, don't Stay in a daze, keep an eye on the remaining ammunition and crystals. This battle... this battle may be very difficult, and we may all die here... But as long as you are not dead, never give up."

……

Valentina manipulated her walkers to trudge through the gravel with one foot deep and one foot shallow. People were dying every second. The team's communication channel could only see a large "offline" gray ID ...But Valentina couldn't see the battle outside at all—more than a dozen walker mechas tightly guarded her and Major Chi Hanfeng's bodies in the middle, using their bodies as shields for the two of them .

Chi Hanfeng has been yelling for his subordinates not to stand in front of him, but the soldiers have more reasons: "Only the major's command aircraft is equipped with high-power communication equipment, if the major's aircraft is destroyed Then, even if other people protrude out of the encirclement, they will not be able to send a signal for help to the headquarters."

……

There are fewer and fewer comrades in arms left. The golden sand dunes are full of mecha wreckage and corpses of various bugs. Valentina's mind is blank. Go out and shoot around indiscriminately.

Her concept of time and space has been completely blurred, and her hands have long lost feeling, and she is operating the walker mech with only muscle memory.A series of tiny blisters appeared on her lips, and a large dark sweat stain appeared on the front and back of the combat uniform.

There were not many people left alive in the entire Strangler Squadron... Even the human wall around her and Chi Hanfeng began to appear vacant, but the bugs kept coming up, as if endless.

She didn't know how many hours had passed, but the only two mechas left standing were herself and the major...

A bug that looked like a giant cockroach suddenly jumped out of the sand and rushed towards Valentina's walker. She subconsciously raised the gun and wanted to pull the trigger, but there was a dry "click" sound from the barrel. But it made her feel desperate—she had already emptied the last box of bullet chains, and could only watch helplessly as the big cockroach threw herself to the ground——

With a "crack", a sharp blade pierced through the body of the big cockroach in an instant. Chi Hanfeng picked up the tip of the knife and lifted the bug that was pressing on Valentina's mecha, but at this moment, the dying bug moved towards Watching Valentina's cockpit spit out a mouthful of acid——

"No!!" Chi Hanfeng's roar echoed in the communication channel, and Valentina watched in horror as the mass of acid eroded through the armor outside the cockpit and dripped onto her body...

pain!Unbearable, excruciating pain like a soldering iron!

Valentina opened her eyes immediately—there were no sand dunes, no mechas, and no bugs. What she could see was an unfamiliar ceiling with a rectangular ceiling lamp attached.

But the piercing pain did not disappear.

Valentina struggled and rolled out of bed, touched the medicine bottle on the bedside table, poured out a few painkillers from it, and swallowed it directly with her saliva.

The pain gradually eased, and her breathing gradually became more stable.

She picked up the jacket that had fallen on the floor, put it on, and staggered to the door of the room.

This is the headquarters of the Hunting God Hunting Group. It is located in the temporary staff dormitory on the fourth floor. The air conditioner is turned on in the room, and the temperature is adjusted by the intelligent program to the most comfortable 26.5 degrees Celsius. This new residence is nothing short of heaven.

Valentina glanced at the clock, it was half past two in the morning, she opened the door and went out.

The corridor was very quiet. There were not many hunting group employees living here, and they were all asleep. She walked quietly to the elevator, hesitated for a while, and then turned to the stairs on one side.

The third floor and the second floor were equally dark, and only a few dim warm lights were still on in the reception hall on the first floor. She tightened the jacket she was wearing and walked towards the basement.

The lights in the workshop were on, and the major and another reformer named Layton seemed to be arguing fiercely about something, but Valentina's attention was immediately attracted by the mecha standing behind the two of them. In the past, this was a six-meter-level humanoid mech, with a streamlined outer armor painted in black, white and orange. It was kneeling on the repair stand, with its head lowered, and its arms hanging down naturally by its sides. , behind the head is a decorative long white ponytail, and the white hair is scattered on the shoulder armor. From a distance, it looks like a Valkyrie in heavy armor.

At this time, Chi Hanfeng and Layton, who were arguing, had also spotted Valentina at the stairs. The former's expression changed suddenly, and he walked up quickly, asking in a low voice, "Woke up again?"

"It's okay, I've already taken the medicine." Valentina nodded, her eyes still resting on the mecha, and asked, "What's its name?"

"Major Chi and I were arguing about this just now." Layton said from the side, "I wanted to name this mech 'Ersimov', but he insisted on saying the name as old-fashioned, which is not pleasant. "

"Don't call me Major Chi, I'm no longer a soldier." Chi Hanfeng emphasized again, "Although your modification skills are not bad, the name you choose is really not tasteful."

"Then you say I have no taste, but you want to come out?"

"...I haven't figured it out yet, but it can't be called Ersimov anyway!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Valentina suddenly said a name: "Valkyrie, let's call it Valkyrie."
