Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 382 The Target of Public Accusation (4000 words chapter)
"Share me the last updated location of the tracker." Ivan shouted.

"I've already sent it to you!"

"Go!" Ivan glanced at the coordinates displayed on the screen inside the helmet, and ran out in that direction first.

The trackers carried by Ke Lan and Asano Akira belong to the kind of small-sized sub-machines that are easy to hide. They do not send radio signals themselves. Only when they receive special frequency band radio waves from the high-power main machine, they will passively give feedback. In this way, the position of the main machine and the child machine is informed.

The working principle of this kind of equipment is similar to the active sonar on the ship. The main machine is the sound wave emission device on the ship, and the sub-machine is a "stone" with a very special shape and material, which can make the main machine stand in a lot of complicated and Identify it in the midst of nonsensical feedback.

The main advantage of this thing is that it can guarantee the concealment of the handset to the greatest extent.

Like the set of parent-child trackers equipped by Ke Lan and the others, the signal refresh frequency is once every 3000 seconds, and the effective tracking distance is over 5000 meters without interference. If it is in an open area, the farthest can even be Received the feedback signal from the [-] meters distant handset.

However, the last time Layton received feedback from the two of them was three hours ago.

Where Ivan and Layton are now, the straight-line distance from Ke Lan and Asano Akira is 160 meters. With the output and mobility of these two power armors, it only takes one injection, and it takes less than three seconds to complete the battle. Across this 160-meter distance—but the problem is that in this 160-meter space, there are still a large number of capsule living cabins and simple scaffolding... It is like a maze, although they know the exit of the maze and themselves There is only a wall, but to reach the exit, you still need to go around countless circles in the maze...

"No, it's impossible to get through this way!" After turning two turns, Ivan also realized the problem-not only did they not get close to that coordinate, but they were getting farther and farther away.

"Layton, is this thing anti-electricity?"

"What did you say?" Layton obviously didn't understand the meaning of Ivan's question.

"Let me ask you, are we afraid of getting an electric shock with this suit of armor on us?"

"I don't know, I didn't design this thing, and the young master of the Ye's consortium didn't mention it to me... But I think, for this level of equipment, the voltage of less than [-] volts shouldn't affect it. What impact will it cause... Wait a minute, doctor, why do you ask this? What are you planning to do?" Layton looked confused.

"There is no time to go around the maze, let's go from above!" Ivan said his thoughts.

"Above?" Layton raised his head subconsciously, "You mean, move along the top wall of the space station?"

"Yes! Anyway, the gravity of this place is negligible. If you walk from above, your field of vision and movement route will not be disturbed by these 'illegal buildings'! I'll jump up first, you follow closely, and be careful not to be disturbed by the wires above your head. Entanglement!" After Ivan finished speaking, he squatted down, kicked his legs vigorously on the ground, and with the help of this accumulated strength, he jumped into the air with his armor on.

Ivan swung the standard fighting dagger and cut off the wires blocking the jumping path. The broken wires blew blue and white electric sparks, snapped across the power armor, and fell to the ground—— The residents in this residential area have basically gone away, only those who follow, monitor and even attack them are left, so he doesn't need to worry about accidental injury at all.

But before Ivan could cross the scaffold tens of meters high, a few figures jumped down from the top of the scaffold, and these figures slammed into the upward-flying powered armor—for fear of hitting the space station. The top wall, so Ivan didn't activate the propeller, and moved entirely by inertia. When he was hit by the opponent, he was directly pressed down and hit the ground heavily!

"Ivan!" Seeing this, Layton rushed over quickly, but just as he got close, he was suddenly hugged by a few locals rushing out from the corner—these people were all radiation mutants with surprisingly strong strength .Among them was a guy with four arms, sitting on Layton's shoulders, digging hard at the instruments on the outside of the helmet.

"Damn it! Bastard! This surveillance camera is worth 160,000 credits!" Layton shook his body vigorously, opening those who were hugging his limbs.But the four-armed mutant on his face wrapped his legs tightly around his neck, unable to shake him off no matter what.

After finding that his nails were difficult to damage the outer armor of the power armor, the mutant took out a sharp blade from behind, aiming at the seam between the helmet and the breastplate and poking it randomly.

"Damn, this desperate lunatic!" Layton stretched out his hand, but he could only grab the opponent's two arms, and the remaining two arms were still attacking him frantically, "Ivan? What am I going to do? What to do? I can only fight back, right?"

"Just subdue the opponent... Try not to kill people." Ivan replied. He had already wrestled with several mutants at the moment, and saw Ivan throw a strong man who was nearly two meters tall with an overhand fall. After going out, the man just landed next to the pile of broken wires that touched the ground, and suddenly let out a scream.

"It's fine if you don't kill him, right?" Layton glared fiercely at the mutant riding on him, and exerted force while holding the opponent's arm. Under the huge shearing force generated by the hydraulic device, he only heard " "Crack" two crisp sounds, and the two arms immediately drooped limply, and the face of the mutant showed a painful expression.

"You bastards, do you really think that I dare not do anything?" Layton growled, pinching off the mutant's four arms in the same way, then grabbed his legs and pulled him off his body, swung After that, Yuan smashed hard to the ground.

"Bang - click!"

The first place where the mutant landed was the neck. With the crisp "click" mixed in the loud noise, the mutant's head was directly tilted to one side, and the expression on his face was also frozen in the previous moment. .

"Sorry, I'm a bit harsh." Seeing the other party's death, Layton felt a little relieved, "But you can't blame me, you asked for it."

"Didn't you say not to kill people?" After noticing that Layton threw the four-armed radiation mutant to death, Ivan complained in the team's communication channel.

"It's impossible to only injure but not kill in this kind of melee. Look at the guy you threw out just now, isn't he about to be electrocuted to death now?" Layton said, "Besides, don't you think We still have the possibility to reconcile with this group of people? Their appearance clearly shows that they want to kill us, no matter whether we kill or not, their attitude will not change."

"Well, if this can act as a deterrent..." Ivan said, he punched the face of a mutant who rushed over, directly smashing the other's cheekbone It sank, and the affected eyeball exploded, and the mixture of blood, water and saliva shot out more than ten meters away.

"That's right." Layton said to Ivan after kicking a mutant, "When we first met, didn't you have a good time shooting that Jiang Lian? Why are you becoming a mother-in-law now? gone?"

"The reason why I didn't hesitate at that time was because I knew that she was dead before I shot. I checked the body of the previous person, and the parasite would completely destroy the human brain..." Ivan said "What's more, the situation at that time was different from what it is now. Under the glacier, our equipment was lost, and a corpse parasitized by an unknown object was a huge threat to us... But now, the attacks of these people No real harm will be done to us."

"Then you might as well think about it, if we didn't wear this armor now, wouldn't we have been dismembered by these lunatics long ago?" Layton put down the last mutant who rushed out, and retorted, "Where are they? So we can't be hurt, not because they don't want to kill us, but because they can't kill us."

Layton glanced at the mutants lying on the ground. There were sixteen people rushing out to stop them. At least four of them were already dead. Moaned in pain.

"When I was in the army, a captain who took us on field missions said something to me." A mutant struggled to crawl towards Layton, but his outstretched hand hadn't reached Layton yet. Layton raised his leg and kicked Dun's calf on the forehead, and his entire neck was turned backwards.

The death toll from the clash has increased by one.

"He said: 'Don't have any kindness towards any creature that wants to kill you, that thing will kill you sooner or later.'" Layton continued, "This should be what the Chinese call 'the benevolence of a woman'... Although I don't quite understand how this thing is related to the female gender, but you must have heard the story of the farmer and the snake, right?"

"The captain is right." Ivan nodded silently, "I just... once treated a miner who suffered from radiation sickness, but I failed to cure him within the two-week stay permit, and finally he It was still sent here, and I don’t know if it is still alive.”

"I remember that your clinic charges a lot, right? Where did the miners get the money to see you?" Layton asked with some doubts.

"He didn't come to me by himself, it was his girlfriend... That girl is very young and looks good, as for where did she get the money..." Ivan didn't continue, but opened the power armor The two compressed air valves on the backpack accelerated upward again, "We should go, otherwise we will be entangled by these people again later."

The mutants who were dealt with by Ivan and Layton just now should be all the additional manpower sent by the other party.As for the rest of the people who were still watching them, they probably didn't belong to the "combat units" and didn't jump out to stop them.

"To be honest, these mutants are actually pretty strong." Layton muttered, "I reckon that at least they are at the level of two to three levels of biochemical transformation. The mutation of conscience produced by radiation alone can really reach this level." To this extent? And more than a dozen jumped out at once... Ivan, don't you think this is a bit strange?"

"It's really strange. The strength of two to three-level biochemically modified people is still in the normal category. The strange thing is the number. I have checked the part of the information released by the research institute. This kind of benign mutation that can increase strength will only appear in 10,000 cases One example, and the number of residents in this space is only [-] people, even if you count the group of people who died after arriving here due to various reasons, this ratio is still too high."

"It's more than a little taller." Layton couldn't help speeding up his speech, "It's impossible for the entire 'Sick Village' to only have these dozen mutants? These guys may be just the vanguard of the opponent. If this is taken into consideration, the mutation ratio is simply ridiculously high—hey, you think, they don’t have any means of stabilizing mass production, do they?”

"Hard to say."

At this time, Ivan and Layton had already passed the highest point of the scaffolding. After locking the coordinates of the tracker, the two of them flew straight towards the residential area with the help of the thrust generated by the jet of compressed air. past.

This residential area is a few batches of sick miners who have been sent to the space station recently. They have not "integrated" into the local residents. To use the terminology of the workplace, they are still in the investigation period. Therefore, these People have not been prompted to evacuate.

The two avant-garde power armors landed on the aisle between the scaffolding so suddenly, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"These people all came here with us." The moment he landed, Layton had already scanned the facial data of those people who poked their heads with the monitor, and some of the data happened to be in line with The photos on the "cargo list" provided by the Mitsui consortium match perfectly.

"It seems that Ke Lan and the others were brought here." Ivan looked around vigilantly, "Did you find them?"

"Not yet... wait a minute, I found that the signal of the tracker carried by Akira Asano is less than 20 meters away." Layton said, although there is interference, as long as the distance between the two is close enough, it will not be affected. Too much influence, just like the team communication channel used between Layton and Ivan.

"Only Akira Asano? What about Ke Lan?"

"...No, I didn't find it. There is only a signal from Akira Asano. Then do we want to contact him?" Layton asked, "If they have other plans, if we do this, will we be adding trouble to them? what?"

"...Forget it, meet Akira Asano first." Ivan hesitated, gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Then we'll go to Ke Lan... I really don't know what he thinks, that he chooses to act alone? "

"It's not necessarily that he chose it, maybe it was forced?" Layton said while drifting towards Asano Akira's tracker coordinates.

However, when he floated to the bunk, no one saw anyone. There was a thin iron sheet under the tracker that was faked as a button, and it was engraved in extremely small characters: "Ke Lan was taken away." It's over, the agreed time has passed, and he hasn't come back, so I'll go find him."
