Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 489 All Fears Come From Insufficient Firepower

Since the Alphas used to imitate energy crystals here, then this power room must have a channel to connect to the outside—otherwise, those personnel and materials participating in the imitation project cannot all enter and leave this place by means of a transmission device, right?
The personnel and supplies are fine. Even if those large and heavy equipment can be disassembled, it is extremely troublesome to transport them.

Judging from the indentations on the ground, the tonnage of the machinery that was once installed on the edge of the huge pit is obviously not small.

It's just that what Ke Lan can't understand is that since the Alpha people captured this ancient battleship, why didn't they incorporate it into the fleet, but sank in the depths of this magma lake?

Among other things, just looking at this power room, the combat power of this battleship may be able to beat all the combat units of the Alpha civilization. There is no reason to leave it in this place?

Even if research is required, there will be no conflict at all. Transforming a battleship into a mobile fortress can greatly improve security and confidentiality, which is obviously a multi-purpose thing.

But not only did the Alpha people not do that, they even started to dismantle the shell of "Yagunaktor" to obtain Nino alloy. A series of idioms popped up in Ke Lan's mind to describe this behavior : Buying a basket to return pearls, throwing everything away, throwing everything away, cooking a crane and burning a qin...

Even he, a person on Earth, knows that this is a bloody business. Could it be that this group of Alphas whose civilization level is much higher than that of humans don't know?
It doesn't make sense...

Could it be...they couldn't control the battleship, so they had no choice but to sink it here?

……

"Layton, Ivan, did you find anything?" Ke Lan asked in the team communication channel.

"This guy committed suicide, just like the guy in the truck, and the gun fell not far away." Layton replied, "The vehicle is useless. Someone shot the console, the hard drive and the storage The card slots are all empty, and the black box is gone."

"Park Sang-woo must have done this. Maybe the driver killed himself too, and then pretended to commit suicide." The hound said confidently.

"However, the energy converter and engine are still usable. With these things, I can piece together a small propulsion device, which may come in handy." Layton continued, "The supplies have not been touched, food, water and medicine There are still a lot left, and this is probably the only good news."

At this moment, Asano Akira suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ke Lan's wrist and pulled him back two steps: "Be careful! Something is climbing up from below!"

"What?!" The hound trembled in shock, and hastily pulled out the assault rifle hanging from his waist.

"There are a lot of them! They are climbing up the pit wall!" Akira Asano shouted.

With a "crack", the saber was unsheathed, and he dodged in front of Ke Lan.

At this time, even Ke Lan heard the sound—it was the rustling sound of countless jointed limbs scratching against the rock wall, just like the sound made by rubbing against each other when holding a handful of sand... When this As the voice gradually increased, a feeling of scalp numbness came to my heart involuntarily.

"It seems to be some kind of arthropod. It doesn't seem to be big in size and mass, but there are a lot of them." Ke Lan said, he couldn't help but think of the cleftjaw worm they encountered in the glacier ruins at that time - at that time, facing the incoming force The raging insect swarm, they can only run away desperately.But now everyone's equipment is not what it used to be. Both Layton and Valkyrie are equipped with heavy-duty flamethrowers, which can instantly create a wall of fire nearly [-] meters wide and more than ten meters high. The moat to pass over.

Although force cannot solve most of the problems in the ruins, it can at least alleviate the fear in the hearts of human beings—at least, in the face of imminent danger, everyone's first reaction is to raise their weapons, rather than looking for a way out.

Ke Lan remembered a stalk widely spread on the Internet: All fears stem from insufficient firepower.

For example, many people are afraid of the dead, especially the "resurrected" dead people-the "Resident Evil" series of movies are undoubtedly classics in science fiction thrillers-the scenes of zombies rushing over the mountains and plains are indeed full of oppression However, the premise of this sense of oppression is that the protagonist only has two small pistols in his hand...or only one M2 old godmother and the bullets are often jammed.

That was really scary.

But what if the protagonist is sitting in the Gundam cockpit?That probably has nothing to do with horror at all, although the adrenaline is also rushing, but the reason is completely different.

If the survival game is played as a mowing game, then basically there is only fun left.

"All get ready—" Aya said to her opponent. The remaining three agents looked like old teammates who had cooperated for many years. The edge is reflected like daylight; one person is holding a grenade launcher, and looking through the transparent window of the magazine, it is full of napalm bombs with orange shells, and they are also special models for the Security Bureau and elite troops. A self-reactive combustion accelerant was also added, allowing it to burn even in places without oxygen; as for the last person, he held a shield equipped with a shield generator at the front.

The "rustling" sound became louder and louder, as if countless hands were scratching the blackboard with their nails, making the hairs on the back of Ke Lan's neck stand on end, he took a deep breath, and moved slightly to the right In one step, the safety of the firearm was switched from semi-automatic mode to fully automatic mode.

Ke Lan felt a little regretful. It would be nice if he installed an undermount shotgun before setting off. That thing is much more useful for killing insects than ordinary fully automatic weapons.

"It's coming!" The hound reminded that the three of Layton had already joined them at this time, and as for the materials and vehicle parts that had not been transferred in time, they would not be able to take care of so much for a while.

Finally, the first bug appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"This is……"

The bug's body is like a louse magnified tens of thousands of times. The head and torso are only the size of a fist, but behind it is a bloated abdomen the size of a wax gourd. The back and lower abdomen are covered with hard The protective carapace, on the surface of the carapace, is also attached a layer of uneven light green crystals.

Ke Lan only felt that this bug looked familiar, but he couldn't match the appearance of any beetle-like creature in his memory—whether it was the native creature of Alpha Planet, or the "cockroach" that ran out of the ark. , Earth creatures that have expanded their territories on this brand new planet.
