Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 384
The strength and toughness of these spider silks were far beyond their imagination. Ivan even put the muzzle on it and fired, but he still couldn't break the silk threads.

You must know that the Gauss rifle in their hands is a special model for power armor. The 14mm caliber C-25 "Pylon Piercing" electromagnetic bullet can easily shoot through [-]mm thick solid carbide armor and a [-]m thick concrete bunker .But these threads, which were still liquid a second ago, easily dissipated the terrifying kinetic energy attached to the warhead.

"It's over!" Layton subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to protect his head, but he found that he had lost control of his body.More and more spider webs stuck to his body, even the small gaps in the joints were filled. After the liquid condensed, it was directly stuck inside the transmission device, making every part of the entire armor move. The joints became extremely stiff.

If the "super glue" that invaded the mechanical structure is not cleaned up in time, it will cause great wear and tear to the mechanical parts inside the armor, and even directly scrap this set of powered armor. There is no chance of free hands to clean up.

The monster dragged the two of them in front of him with thousands of "spider threads", and took a heavy shot of the two huge palms. Layton only felt his perspective shake violently, and the bones in his whole body were like As if being shot apart, unbearable pain came from all over the body.

This is also thanks to the protection of the rigid skeleton in the armor, otherwise, he would have turned into a puddle of unrecognizable flesh like those miners who were hit by monsters just now.

"Hiss...it hurts...speak...voice command...714, inject the painkiller." Layton grinned.

"Di, voice command 714, confirmed." The electronically synthesized voice sounded inside the helmet, and a hidden slot on the inside of the arm armor slid open without a sound, and a needle was pierced into Layton's arm.

"Huh..." The pain gradually subsided, and now Layton had the time to ask about Ivan's situation, "Hello...Old Yi? Are you still alive?"

"...still... still alive." Ivan's voice came from the earphones, which made Layton heaving a sigh of relief, "But these things cover the monitor and the transparent visor on the helmet, and I don't know anything. Can't see."

"Don't move yet." Layton panted heavily, "This monster seems to think we are dead, so it didn't continue to attack."

"But it didn't leave either. The heartbeat monitor showed it was standing right in front of us."

"Can the heartbeat detector detect this monster?"

"Yes...it has six hearts, and the beating frequency of each heart rate is more than four times the upper limit of the normal human heart rate." Ivan said.

"I have a way to get out of trouble, but I can't guarantee that it will work." Layton said.

"any solution?"

"Burning with fire! I feel that this thing is similar to spider silk. The strength of spider silk is actually very exaggerated. When I was researching bulletproof materials, I asked someone to go to the insect breeding base to get a lot of real ones. The spider silk... But this thing has a very obvious weakness, that is, it is afraid of fire."

"The main component of spider silk is protein, which will indeed rapidly denature and decompose under high temperature conditions... The substance that makes up these silk threads is the secretion of that monster, which should also be a kind of protein in essence... You can try this method!" Ivan affirmed.

"Then I'll count to three, two, one. Let's open the compressed air valve to the maximum, jump in the middle together, and then turn the nozzle of the thruster to the front, and burn all the spider silk on each other's bodies!"

"understand!"

"Three, two, one, let's go!"

Accompanied by Layton's low growl, the two power armors lying in the shallow pit flew up at the same time - those spider threads were stuck to their fronts, but the backpacks behind them were not affected too much, and the compressed air jets And the nozzles of the thrusters are not blocked.

"I've got you!" Layton yelled loudly, his hands had grabbed Ivan's shoulders, and Ivan's arms were tightly stuck to his elbows.

The two power armors "locked" together face to face.

"ignition!"

Accompanied by Layton's roar, the eight thruster nozzles ejected blue flames at the same time, and the two armors seemed to be bathed in the flames, and the huge repulsive force was continuously transmitted from the backpacks.

"Hold on tight, don't let go!"

The flames kept licking the surfaces of the two armors, and the solidified colloid and dragging spider silk were quickly burned away, and the two finally broke free from their bondage.

"Turn the nozzle, be careful where you step!" As soon as the spider silk was burned, the two quickly rushed to a high place, just in time to avoid the liquid sprayed out by the monster below again.

"Anyway, get rid of this monster first!" Layton said, the cover of the missile launching nest on his shoulder had been ejected, and more than a dozen miniature missiles shot down with white trails, a series of explosions produced The fire and smoke directly enveloped the monster.

"Keep suppressing firepower, these missiles can't kill it!" Layton raised his arms again, and the machine gun hidden under the wrist armor began to pour ammunition towards the smoke that hadn't dissipated, and countless shell casings flew in all directions.

"I think we have to find a way to contact the Greek." Ivan said while holding a Gauss rifle. His armor weapon is not as rich as Layton's. This [-]mm Gauss rifle is already His most powerful weapon.

"But this damned interference has never diminished! Damn it!" Layton threw away the two red barrels, and dragged out a bazooka from the equipment box behind him.

"The situation here is beyond the control of the two of us... The monster's heartbeat has not disappeared. We can't kill it with such fierce firepower. We must ask for external reinforcements!" Ivan said.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I stopped this monster, and you seized the opportunity to rush outside the space station. I think the interference should come from the space station itself. Once you get outside, you should be able to contact the Greek!"

"This won't work, I should be in charge of containment, my equipment firepower is much stronger than yours!" Layton retorted.

"What's the use of strong firepower? Isn't it impossible to kill it? Besides, high-power communication equipment is also installed on your armor. If you don't go, who else can go?"

"Damn it, forget about this—" Layton couldn't help cursing, "Then be careful yourself, don't die!"

"Suka is not listed! You bastard, don't set a flag for me, Ke Lan is right, you are a fucking crow's mouth!"

……

At this time, on the other side of the residential area, Asano Akira, who had followed Ke Lan and the servant all the way here, stopped at a fork in the road.

Although he has an extremely terrifying sense of hearing and can distinguish the direction of Ke Lan and others' footsteps, the current distance is already his limit, and if he goes any further, he will be completely blind.

Just when Akira Asano was thinking about which path to choose, a voice that made him somewhat familiar suddenly sounded above his head: "You haven't become one of us yet, this is not a place for you to come."

The person speaking was a man in a gray cloak. He was sitting on the highest point of one side of the scaffold with his legs crossed, holding a half-eaten egg white in his hand, and his entire face was completely under the shadow of the hood. , making it hard to see his appearance.

Of course, even if he took off the hood, Akira Asano couldn't see his face.

But after hearing this voice, Akira Asano's body was trembling. He subconsciously clenched the "guide stick" in his hand. He took a deep breath and asked, "...Marshall?"

"Marshall? Are you calling me?" The man froze for a moment, then took another bite of the egg white in his hand, and swallowed it without chewing, "Oh... I haven't used this name for a long time, I I almost forgot... It's only been a few months, but I feel like it's been more than ten years."

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to Akira Asano.

"I'm Akira Asano, do you remember me?"

"Are you... Asano Akira? Asano... Akira? Who is it?" The man called Marshall stretched out a hand, raised the edge of the hood slightly, and looked at Asano Akira who was standing below. "Oh... I kind of remember... You were that little dwarf who was often bullied in that place? I didn't expect you to be alive."

He also stuffed the last half of the protein cube in his hand into his mouth.

"It's good, it's a good thing to be alive... There is nothing more pleasing in this world than being alive."

He jumped off the scaffold and stood directly in front of Asano Akira. The microgravity environment didn't seem to have any effect on him. Not only did the falling speed not slow down, even the corners of the cloak didn't float up. hanging at his feet.

Although Akira Asano couldn't see it, he could feel that there seemed to be something covering Marshall's body, completely isolating him from the surrounding space.

"Although I'm glad you're still alive, I still can't let it go," Marshall said. "Perhaps, you shouldn't have come to this place."

Marshall paused, and continued: "I can smell it, you don't have that rotten smell on your body...you even carry your knife...then, what is your purpose for coming here?"

……

[PS Regarding the chapters of the previous few days, the plot of Ivan’s unwillingness to kill people, some readers suggested that this was too holy.I want to explain it in a long way here, and I hope you can read it patiently.

To be honest, the attribute of the Virgin has indeed become one of the poisonous points of most online novels.The vast majority of readers like to watch the plots of killing and decisiveness-as the saying goes, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed, not to mention that everyone is already very tired and hard in daily life, and reading novels after work is just to relax , I want to be refreshing, and release the dark side of human nature by the way. I think this is understandable... After all, people always want to vent, and many people choose to use the fictional world in the novel as a place to vent their negative emotions.

When I was writing this part of the plot, I also thought about it again and again, whether it is appropriate to write it this way-a character who can decisively shoot and kill the parasitic teammate at the beginning, and now it has become like this, is it considered a broken character? I have thought about it many times whether I will be scolded by readers as the Virgin Mary.But in the end, I decided to write according to the original idea.

I really want to write about the true emotions and hearts of human beings, although I know that this kind of plot may not be "cool" enough in your opinion, it may make you feel "poisonous", and you may even abandon the article directly...

But what I want to say is that I designed the transformation of the role of Ivan based on myself.

Because of my special experience, I may have been close to death than 90.00%...or more readers who are reading this novel. When I was just diagnosed with leukemia, I don’t want to think about the mood at that time .During the subsequent one year and three months of treatment, the number of times that various indicators fell below the critical value due to bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy alone was countless. Now when I open my medical records, I can see all A large row of red warning data, each time, is basically hovering on the edge of the death line.

I clearly remember at the beginning of 20th, when the epidemic was at its worst, I had just finished a round of chemotherapy, and my platelets dropped to an undetectable level, but at that time no one donated blood at all, and my parents and some relatives also I didn't meet the blood donation standards... At that time, when I felt that I was going to die, my attending doctor helped me to send a bag of platelets to the next city urgently, which allowed me to survive the period of lack of platelets.

There are many similar experiences. Every time I feel that I am about to die, and then I am rescued by a group of people. Since then, my mentality has changed.

To be honest, I used to be considered a very selfish person, heartless, with a bad temper, full of dissatisfaction with the world and other people... But after this serious illness, I suddenly After seeing many things, I want to treat any stranger with kindness, because I don't know that when I was struggling on the verge of death, in the hands of countless people who helped me, Will there be his share.

Whether it's doctors, nurses, blood donors, blood bank staff, or drivers... There are many more people I don't know, they may be my potential life-saving benefactors, including supporting me and cheering me up book friends.

In those desperate times, I felt firsthand the kindness from everyone around me.

It is precisely because of this that I will respect and be kind to everyone around me. Without you, I might already be a dead person.

I am willing to believe in the goodness of human nature, and no longer have those extreme and dark thoughts.

And Ivan in this book is actually very similar to me.

He was infected by the seed of erosion, and he was already desperate. He thought he would die—but the protagonist and the others tried their best to save him. At this time, Ivan's mentality has already appeared similar to mine Variety.

I think that only those who have been infinitely close to death will understand the meaning of life.

What's more, Ivan himself is a doctor. This is a noble and respectable profession. His job is to save people... and the residents of this "sick village" are all patients. Unique feelings, I know many friends who study medicine, including medical students who are still studying, and doctors who have been working for many years. For patients, even if they are strangers or even enemies, if he needs him to treat him, he will do his best. Full strength - this is a kind of brilliance of human nature, a virtue that we should not abandon, no matter in reality or in the virtual world.

In addition, the nightmare that Ivan once experienced in the bottomless sinkhole was that he turned into a seed of erosion and crazily slaughtered innocent people. With such an experience, his subconscious mind would also become very resistant to killing people.

In addition, this mission was just to find people. Before boarding the transport ship, Ke Lan and the others repeatedly emphasized that they should try not to conflict with the locals.

The combination of the above points will lead to his current changes and his "unwilling to kill" performance. Perhaps such a plot is a bit "poisonous" to readers who are used to reading cool articles, but I think it is true and true. reasonable.

This book can be regarded as an alternative doomsday novel, but compared to the darkness and despair that can be seen everywhere in the doomsday, I think hope is more worth writing.

In fact, I shouldn't tell you these things clearly. I hope readers can experience them in the process of reading... But in this society, there are too many impetuous people. Some people can miss the places that have been clearly written, let alone such cryptic expressions of emotions.

I can see a lot of "barrel" comments in the background every day. Sometimes I feel wronged, depressed, and even have a desire to go online... But I know that replying to these comments is meaningless, I don't It may be possible to analyze and dissect everything clearly. If you really want to do this, it will be impossible to bury foreshadowing and suspense, and it will also make the content watery.

I also don't want to write this book as a simple, easy-to-understand and easy-to-understand essay without any connotation. If I really want to write this way, then why don't I choose to write cool essays that make money faster and are easier to write?
In addition, the reason for posting this paragraph in the main text, rather than in the comment area and "Author's Message", is because I hope that readers who read pirated versions can also see these things.For genuine readers, reading my [-]-word nonsense will cost about [-] cents in book currency. If anyone thinks it’s worthless to pay an extra [-] cents, you can join the reader group to find it. Me, I will pay ten times (the legendary fake one pays ten).Book friends who have joined the group before can just receive the red envelope I just sent.

But one thing to say, after understanding these words, I really feel refreshed for a while.

The reader group number has been set as one-click group addition, and you can see it after expanding the book introduction page with the latest version of Qidian APP. 】
