Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 491 Clearing the field by one person (4000 words chapter)
The resulting explosion may not be able to destroy the power room, but it must be enough to kill everyone in the reconnaissance team!
Fortunately, this area is relatively open, leaving a lot of space for everyone to drag, and there is no need to rush to fight with these bugs full of flammable and explosive materials.

They began to retreat, stretching the formation of the swarm as long as possible, and then used precise bursts to dispose of the individual individuals at the edge of the swarm.

"This efficiency is too low..." The hound couldn't help complaining, "It feels like I'm full of energy, but I can't use it at all."

Although the others did not open their mouths to complain like him, his words touched the hearts of everyone.

More and more bugs crawled out of the huge pit, and the pressure on the reconnaissance team was also increasing, but they didn't dare to pour out all their firepower, for fear of triggering a large-scale chain explosion. It makes people feel suffocated.

But Ke Lan will not be able to think of a better solution for a while-unless he can find a way to delay the self-explosion of the lava larvae.

At this moment, Akira Asano suddenly took a step forward, walked to the front of the team, and said softly, "Let me do it."

"Are you coming?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, and there was a moment of hesitation in his heart-although Asano Akira is the one with the highest personal combat power among them, it is a big taboo to deal with things like lava beetles in close quarters !

Even if you can split these bugs, it is difficult to avoid the self-destruction of the bugs when they are dying... One-on-one is enough, let alone facing a swarm of hundreds of bugs.

"Well, I'm sure." Akira Asano nodded, "After fighting Marshall last time, I can feel that my ability has become stronger, and I can deal with these bugs."

"That ability of yours...advanced?" Ke Lan thought about it for a while before finding out such a word that is common in the fantasy cultivation system but rarely used in reality.

But only this kind of vocabulary can be used to describe the kind of superpower unique to telekinetic experimental subjects.

"Well, I feel that I'm about to break through that shackles... I'm almost on the verge of reaching the level that Marshall described to me."

"Mental power materialized?" Ke Lan looked at Asano Akira with some surprise - the handsome young swordsman closed his eyes and held the scabbard with one hand. His other hand did not touch the handle of the scabbard, but the scabbard However, the sharp blade in the middle seemed to come alive, it popped out automatically and fell into his hand.

Akira Asano threw the saber to the ground, and the sharp tip of the knife sank several inches—as if what they were stepping on was not a hard rock, but a piece of tofu that could be broken by blows.

Ke Lan couldn't help frowning. It's certainly a good thing that Akira Asano's strength has become stronger, but Marshall also told him that this ability is beyond what the human body can bear.

The reason why the telekinesis experiment failed was because the body of the subject could not bear the load brought by the overly powerful mind force. Even an eighth-level enhanced person like Marshall could not bear the negative effects of this ability. Even Akira Asano Strong, it is impossible to be stronger than Marshall.

Ke Lan looked at him with some concern.

From the outside, there is no change at all, but Ke Lan can feel that a few inches around Akira Asano seems to form an independent space. A symbol that the power of thought is on the verge of materialization.

"Be careful, don't force it." Ke Lan warned.

"I know." After finishing speaking, Asano Akira removed all parts of the power armor from his body.

"Wait! Akira Asano, what are you doing?" The hound who saw this scene asked, "Why did you take off your armor?"

Although the power armor equipped by the reconnaissance team is not as good as the two prototype armor provided by the Ye's consortium, it is not a mass-produced model that can be bought casually.Each piece is a custom armor based on the top individual power armor currently on the market, with the stature and abilities of the members of the reconnaissance team as the design template.

Although he couldn't withstand the "resonance" caused by dozens of lava beetles exploding at the same time, it would be no problem to withstand one or two close-range explosions. His body exploded to pieces.

Even if it is a high-level enhanced person, the strength of flesh and blood is not comparable to this expensive alloy armor.

The act of taking off the armor, in the eyes of the hound, is completely courting death.

But Asano Akira just said lightly: "The flexibility of the power armor is too poor to keep up with my reaction."

The hound was stunned for two seconds, before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "You're pretending to be a jerk now... If you lose an arm or a leg later, don't worry, I'll be the first to come over and laugh at you."

"What if Asano Akira is not pretending?" Asano Akira did not take the hound's words, but Layton helped him with a word.

"Then even if he's really awesome..."

Akira Asano, who took off the power armor, left only a breathing mask and a tank of oxygen hanging behind him. He put the scabbard on the ground, held the saber in both hands, and bowed slightly——

"Everyone! Stop shooting in five seconds!" Ke Lan clenched his right hand and raised it high.

"Prepare to cover Akira Asano." He said again, "Five, four, three, two, one—"

The moment the gunfire stopped, Akira Asano rushed into the swarm of insects. Ke Lan couldn't even see his movements clearly, leaving only a series of blurred lines on his retina. afterimage.

In the next second, a mutated lava larva was picked up and flew into the air.

This mutated larva that was picked up to a height of nearly 50 meters suddenly flashed an imperceptible sword light, the whole body was cut in half, and the inside could even be seen through the flat cut. Sectional view of the structure...

These bugs... even the surface of the organs in the body are covered with uneven tiny crystals.

After a short delay, the cut mutated larva exploded violently, but at this height, when the aftermath of the explosion reached the ground, it was already weakened a lot.

For other larvae, this shock wave is nothing more than a burst of strong wind pressure, and it simply cannot reach the threshold for them to self-destruct, and naturally it will not trigger a chain explosion.

"Good guy, this is okay?!" Layton opened his mouth involuntarily, watching Akira Asano cut into the insect swarm alone in amazement, and lifted all the mutant larvae near him into the air.

He even controlled the angle of the pick-and-fly very precisely, and each mutant larva that was picked and flew kept a long enough distance, even in the air, to prevent interference with each other and cause "resonance".

As for how he delayed the "cracking" of the mutated larva's body, Layton couldn't understand it at all.

He only remembered that in many movies with cold weapon fighting scenes, in order to highlight the speed of the knife and the sharpness of the blade, after the blade brushed the flesh, it often took a few seconds before the knife appeared on the neck of the person hit by the knife. A thin "red line", and then the body and head were separated.

If you want to make it more exaggerated, in these few seconds, you can arrange a few lines for the dying man, or take a few more shambling steps, and then let the blood shoot to the camera, and finally Zoom out to get a panoramic view of the entire battle scene-in this way, the tension of the camera is almost instantly full.

(PS has some private goods. Here I would like to recommend one of Quentin’s masterpieces of violent aesthetics, "Kill Bill". At the end of the first part, the scene where the protagonist kills Oren Ishii uses a similar shooting technique.)
"It's so strong!" Zhuo Ligetu exclaimed, and couldn't help but clenched the battle ax hanging on his waist - that was his usual weapon. In the past, he was still very confident in his melee fighting ability, but seeing After Asano Akira showed strength at this moment, Zhuo Ligetu began to doubt whether he could pass three tricks under the hands of this man who looked fairer than a girl.

No... Don't talk about three moves, maybe the first move, I'm already dead...

The dense swarm of insects couldn't get close to Asano Akira - not because Asano Akira dodged fast enough, but because all the mutant larvae that pounced on were picked up by the tip of the knife and flew up, without missing a single one.

With only one person's power, he directly killed a pair in the middle of the swarm, dividing the swarm into two parts.

Layton and the others who got along with Akira Asano day and night were so surprised, let alone Aya and his subordinates. Their expressions now can be said to be as wonderful as they are.One of the agents, who was carrying an epee and seemed to also prefer the melee route, almost knelt down to watch Asano Akira's performance.

"He...wasn't he the...failed product of that experiment...why..." Aya said incoherently, "The eliminated people... are all so...exaggerated?"

"Don't ask me, I rarely see Akira Asano go all out." Ke Lan glanced at her casually, "There should be a file in the Security Bureau for the information about them, you can look it up yourself."

Although Ke Lan was also surprised, he wouldn't show his surprise on his face—his younger brother is awesome, so he, the boss, can naturally "share" this awesomeness. It would be a shame to show the same amazing expression as everyone else.

Pretending to be forceful, it is natural to have a full set to be in place.

"Asano Akira, can you try to divide the swarm into several small pieces, so that we can wipe out individual individuals and speed up the elimination." Ke Lan said in the team's communication channel.

Although Akira Asano took off his power armor, he still wore his earphones.

He didn't speak, but responded directly with actual actions - after piercing through the swarm, he shot another carbine, separating the mutant larvae in a corner of the swarm from the large army.

"Concentrate firepower and deal with single larvae first!" Ke Lan immediately issued a new order.

……

The battle only lasted less than half an hour. Because of Akira Asano, the original hard fight turned into a boring target shooting game—of course, the word boring is not used to describe him, but It is used to describe Ke Lan and his group of audience who spend most of their time "watching the show".

In the words of the Hound, even if this clip is directly cut into the movie, there is no need for the post-production staff to add special effects. The ghostly movement and magical swordsmanship are already fantasy enough.

……

Looking at the corpses of mutated lava larvae all over the place, Ke Lan began to count the number of lava larvae that climbed up from the bottom of the huge pit.

"There are 176 in total." Akira Asano obviously started counting the moment he rushed into the swarm of insects. Before Ke Lan counted to one-third, he gave the exact number.

"176... exactly the number of eggs laid by a single female lava beetle."

Ke Lan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Although there is no shortage of food in this place, it will undoubtedly take a long time for the lava beetles to get rid of their cannibalistic habits... The ancestors of these mutated lava beetles may have come here thousands of years ago. It thrives here until today.

This means... In this power room, at the bottom of this huge pit, there is likely to be a huge group of lava beetles.

The mutated larvae of the group may only be a small part of the entire group.

"This place seems to be more dangerous than the tunnel..."

On the other side, the Hound and Zoligetu picked up a large number of limbs of the lava thorax. They piled these limbs on the ground, let Layton use a flamethrower to burn the surface of the limbs until they were carbonized, and then used a dagger to pry the limbs apart. Dig out the hot white meat inside and put it in a plastic bag.

"What are you doing?" Aya Breya asked curiously.

"You don't know that!" The hound chuckled, "Although 90.00% of the native creatures on Planet Alpha cannot be eaten, the lava beetles belong to the remaining one percent."

He went on to say: "The abdominal sacs used by lava beetles to store 'fuel' are extremely high in radiation content and are highly toxic, but their arthropods are very clean. Although the meat inside the hard shell is a bit fishy, ​​the taste is a bit rough , but it has a little radiation and is not poisonous, and the protein content is at least five times that of synthetic beef... Could it be that the agents of your field team have never encountered a time when they ran out of ammunition and food when performing missions?"

"...No." Aya shook her head, "We will bring enough supplies."

"Then what if something unexpected happens? Like this time."

"Among the things listed in the wilderness survival tutorial that can be used as food... there is no such thing." Aya bit her lip lightly and said with some stubbornness.

"Oh, I've seen that thing. Every recruit in the field force has a copy. But no one will take it seriously. There are less than [-] kinds of food listed in total, most of which are very rare plants. If Strictly following the instructions in the book to find food, many people would have starved to death long ago. Among other things, the arthropods of this lava beetle are much stronger than the gray potatoes mentioned in the book-ha! Whether it is nutrition The value is still toxic and side effects, all-round explosion."

"But the risk of killing lava beetles is far greater than collecting gray potatoes." Aya retorted.
