Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 485 "The Nut"

……

"Then what should we do now." The Hound said a little depressed, "Even if what you said, Ke Lan, is right, we are now inside that 'Yagunaktor', but what's the use of knowing this ? It doesn’t help the current situation at all.”

"You said this stick, why did he die suddenly if he disagreed with it." The hound stepped on the bone fragments on the ground fiercely, and the bones that had been broken into small pieces suddenly turned into fine powder, "If this guy is still alive if--"

"Even if he's still alive, you can't pry anything out of his mouth." Ke Lan interrupted him and said, "This is just a double, and the person who manipulates the double is not here... For that prophet In other words, it’s like a remote control chess piece, when the chess piece lands in the enemy’s hands, he just treats the chess piece as being eaten, so why would he care if the enemy tortures the chess piece?”

"Damn, I'm so pissed off!" the hound said, chopping his feet again on the pile of bone meal.

"However, we didn't gain nothing." Ke Lan walked to the rescue capsule and poked his head in—at this moment, the rescue capsule was full of black blood and slippery mucus, a disgusting smell The stench continued to waft from inside, the hound only took two steps closer, and then immediately moved away with brows.

"What gain?" He pinched his nose and asked.

"Just now after Valentina hit the tumor-like protrusion of the monster larva with a sniper rifle, did the larva die?" Ke Lan asked again.

"Well, it exploded on the spot, and those stinky liquids splashed all over several of us. At that time, you suddenly disappeared. We thought you were vaporized by some special attack."

"You said that you were imprisoned in an abnormal space where there was no light or sound, and even the flow of time was different from the normal world. Could this have something to do with this shot?" Aya asked, "The two events happened almost at the same time. happened, and it's hard for me not to connect them."

"If you want to teleport into another space, you must pass through something like a wormhole, and it takes a lot of energy to open the wormhole or maintain the wormhole." Ke Lan turned to look at Valkyrie, "Valentina, check the black box of the mech. When the sarcoma was just exploded, did you experience abnormal energy fluctuations?"

"...Yes, the records show that when I hit the target, the radiation intensity in the environment instantly increased to 400 more than [-] times the original, but the duration was very short. The whole process took less than a millisecond, and the radiation intensity recovered normal."

Valentina replied in a low voice... If the sensor element equipped with this black box is almost the most high-end product available on the market, if it is replaced by other mass-produced machines, I am afraid that even this momentary change will not be captured. .

"Less than a millisecond... No wonder we didn't feel it..." Ivan, who was holding a chainsaw in one hand and a pair of long-handled pliers in the other, said thoughtfully.

High-intensity radiation will have obvious effects on the human body, but if it is only for an extremely short moment, so short that the radiation source disappears before the radiation can penetrate the human skin, then this effect can be completely ignored.

Those exposed to the radiation would only feel some itching on the surface of the skin at most, just like the breeze gently brushing the fine hair... At that time, the disappearance of Ke Lan caused a violent shock to the hearts of everyone in the reconnaissance team, and almost no one noticed. This is unusual.

"The tumor-like protrusion should be the vital part of this monster, just like the 'core' of the seed of erosion." Ke Lan continued, "There should be a lot of energy stored in this sarcoma, and this energy, It was released the moment the sarcoma exploded, swallowing me into that abnormal space."

"To be honest, I don't really understand..." The hound shook his head in a daze, but Aya looked serious, staring at Ke Lan with piercing eyes.

"But that abnormal space is different from the space we usually live in." Ke Lan stretched out his hands and gestured in front of him, "Assume that this is just an ordinary teleportation, such as teleporting us from the surface of the mining area to the sub-region." Guna Ketor' interior, then the energy loss that needs to be paid starts from opening the wormhole, and maintains the wormhole until the end of the transmission."

"Although this energy can be regarded as an astronomical amount, it can only be regarded as a down payment." Ke Lan said, "But according to my speculation, the energy transmitted into that abnormal space is not enough. Things need to be stuffed into it, and more energy needs to be paid continuously.”

"It's like paying the down payment and starting to pay the mortgage, right?" Hound said.

"Almost, but I feel that this loan is much more than the down payment..." Ke Lan took over the conversation and continued, "If the energy of that monster larva is considered the down payment, then the rest of the mortgage needs this everyone Come pay it back."

"I seem to understand what you mean..." Aya's eyes lit up, "You mean, the monster that Park Shangyou summoned was drained of energy by that abnormal space and died? And after it died, that The abnormal space lost its energy source, and you were spit out?"

"That's it." Ke Lan said, "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why we couldn't find the same sarcoma in the big guy's body—because it had been drained."

"No wonder this guy has to carry that rescue capsule like a snail. The sarcoma is its weakness, and what it does is to prevent us from discovering its weakness!" Layton clapped his hands violently.

"But doing so is trying to cover up the obvious. Based on the location of the sarcoma on the larva and the abnormal behavior of the mother carrying the rescue capsule, I deduce that the sarcoma is its weakness."

"But..." The hound's face suddenly darkened, "What's the use of this information? This monster has been killed by us. What is its weakness? It doesn't make sense anymore. We still can't get out of this ghost place." what."

"No, its weakness is the key to our leaving here... Ah, finally found it!" Ke Lan said, suddenly reached into the rescue cabin, and dug out something from a pile of snot-like mucus .

It was a dark, wrinkled, fruit-like thing. The hound stretched out his hand to pinch it, but found that the weight of the "fruit core" was nearly half a kilogram!
"What the hell is this! So heavy?! The density is estimated to be several times that of gold!" the hound exclaimed.

"This is what's inside the sarcoma. Although it has shrunk like this, the energy left inside should be enough to take us out of this tunnel."
