Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 509 Rescue Mukah

Although the huge roar resounded through the sky, Ke Lan still heard a faint but crisp "click" sound.

It was the sound of bones being crushed.

He couldn't be sure if it was his own hallucination, or the sound collection device of this ancient battleship was too heaven-defying... In short, when the battleship ran over the ground, the consciousness from the Prophet's substitute completely disappeared.

What it left Ke Lan at the end was a ray of extremely venomous thoughts, just like when the villain in the movie was cornered, he cursed the protagonist with such cruel words as "he will not die well, and he will never be reborn forever".

But Ke Lan didn't care about the prophet's curse. Anyway, in this guy's plan, he was a "victim". Since he wanted to kill himself, Ke Lan didn't have to worry about offending the other party to death. up.

"Anyway, one of them will be killed, so it's better to just kill you."

There is no worry when there are too many debts, and there is no itching when there are too many lice.

What's more, the positions of the two sides are originally hostile. This hostile relationship is different from the political game between countries in the old era. If something is used as a metaphor, perhaps the religious wars of the Middle Ages would be closer.

In that dark age, when wars were fought between lords, knights with status would not be killed.Instead of forming a blood feud, it is better to exchange the captives for ransom and land, and by the way, sell a favor to the other side... The war between religions can only be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, like massacres, Such inhumane tragedies as the Great Purges abound.

The opponent wanted Ke Lan to die, but Ke Lan also didn't want to leave a way for the opponent to survive.

He directly activated the energy shield of the battleship, and in an instant, the remains of the Prophet's stand-in were instantly vaporized with a layer of rock more than five meters thick, leaving no ashes behind.

"This is the one-stop service of a professional team, the real sense of 'destroying bones and ashes'." Ke Lan thought in his heart, and lifted the battleship into the air again.

When activating the energy shield, Ke Lan found that his perspective changed from the No.1 view of the battleship to the third-person "God's perspective", and the true appearance of this ancient battleship was finally fully presented in the before his eyes.

Different from the disc-shaped "Noah's Ark" which resembles a flying saucer, the appearance of "Yagunaktor" is a huge horizontal drop of water. The diameter of the head is tens of kilometers, and the tail is It suddenly gathered into a cone.

Although this shape looks a bit top-heavy, but the streamlined appearance and the smooth mirror-like shell are unexpectedly in line with Ke Lan's aesthetics, especially the three blue halos that change in size around the tail are full of a An indescribable sense of mystery and beauty.

The only fly in the ointment is that near the end, an area looks pitted, like metal corroded by strong acid-if you want to come to this location, it should be the place where the Alpha civilization "mined" the Nino alloy.

But if it was cut with a tool, it shouldn't leave such marks... Could it be that not only those crystal pillars, but also the battleship shell cast by Nino alloy has the ability to repair itself?
Since this is the case, why did Alpha Civilization study this battleship for so long, but did not figure out the synthesis formula of Nino Alloy?
It's too embarrassing, isn't it?
Speaking of which, the enemies in the Molten Mine Zone have been wiped out, so what should we do next?Should we go to find the ruins of the garrison base or simply drive this ancient warship back to the ark?
In terms of value alone, this battleship is definitely worth a thousand garrison bases, or even more...

No, a small garrison base should not be compared with this battleship at all... In a sense, the value of this battleship is even higher than that of the ark!
For a moment, an idea flashed through Ke Lan's mind: relying on this battleship, breaking away from the ark, and establishing a completely independent organization... However, this idea was quickly rejected by himself.

Not to mention whether the Hound and others will agree with his idea, what kind of treatment will be given to those hunting group members, Zofia and a series of other people related to them who stay on the ark, just "survive alone" This rigid condition is enough to make Ke Lan dispel this idea.

This ancient warship is very strong, but without any logistical support, its own weapons are completely unusable, and Ke Lan's exploration progress on it is pitiful, and it is completely unknown how much of its combat power it can exert.

Coupled with the fact that the energy reserve is not too much, and it needs to face the pressure from both the heretic sect and the Ark at the same time, it is impossible for Ke Lan to determine how long the battleship itself can last.Once the energy is exhausted, even if Ke Lan can sink it into the magma pool again, the long charging time is simply not something he can afford.

As for capturing the Ark by force, don’t even think about it—there were few successful peasant uprisings in ancient times, let alone the complex and sophisticated modern society. He didn't have the ability to completely bring the Ark under his control.

The emperor still has to put his heart and soul into checking and balancing the relationship and power between the dignitaries and his courtiers. How can a person who has climbed to the top by force be able to convince the crowd?
Besides, this force does not belong to him, but comes from such a foreign object as the "ancient battleship".

Ke Lan conducted dozens of deduction in his mind, but the results of each deduction proved that if he left the Ark at this stage, there was only one dead end.

On the contrary, if you join a heretical sect, you may still have a chance of survival.

But this is completely contrary to Ke Lan's own wishes.

After much consideration, Ke Lan decided to bring this warship back to the ark first——"Yagunaktor" is undoubtedly a big killer, but now he is far from the qualifications and qualifications to master this big killer. ability,
It's better to complete the assessment task of the Undead Crew Association first, find a way to become one of them, make a decision before making a move, this is the safest way.

……

At the same time, the Ark, the core area.

Central restricted area.

Conference Hall [-].

This is a room completely in darkness. There is no lighting equipment installed in the entire conference hall, only the holographic image projected on the round platform in the middle of the conference hall, emitting a faint cold light.

The thing in the holographic image is a huge drop-shaped battleship, with three halos of different sizes on the tail of the battleship, quietly floating directly above the round platform.

In the darkness, a little red light lighted up silently, like a flickering will-o'-the-wisp, suspended in mid-air about two meters above the ground.

With a ray of light reflected by the holographic projection, one can vaguely see that it is a black cabinet that stands on the ground and looks like a coffin. If there is a person lying in this "coffin", then the red light The position should correspond exactly to his eyes.

"He found Yagunaktor, and he successfully launched the battleship before that person. Everyone, do you feel a little unexpected?"

The red light flashed twice, and an old male voice sounded, echoing in the huge conference hall.

"Maybe it's just his luck?" Opposite the first red light, at a distance of nearly 100 meters, another red light also lit up, but the voice seemed much younger, it sounded like A kid who is less than 20 years old.

"I originally thought that he could only discover the existence of Yagunaktor at most. It was his limit to escape from the molten fire mine area alive and return to the ark." The second voice continued, "From this point of view , he is stronger than that person."

"Luck is also a part of strength, we always think so." The third red light, the third voice, this is a woman, with an elegant and melodious voice like a famous lady.

"But luck is not stable. It is difficult for people who rely on luck to go far." The second voice retorted.

"In the face of established facts, it is meaningless to argue about these things." The first old voice said, "What we should discuss now is how to deal with him."

"Although I hate lucky people." The young man's voice said, "But I don't hate him. I think it can go according to the original plan."

"Secondary." The lady said.

"The original plan?" A fourth voice joined in, the voice of an octogenarian woman. "Do you really want him...to join us and replace the dying Chiron?"

"Why not?" This is the fifth voice, which has almost no emotion, and even the gender is hard to distinguish, "That person's progress has far exceeded our expectations, we need a sharp knife, and he is Our best bet."

"Indeed." The second voice said again, "Letting him join us is the best way to win his trust."

"But..." The fourth voice seemed a little hesitant, "If he knows the truth, will he take an extreme action? By then, do you... still think you can control him?"

"Then just don't let him know." The lady said, "The truth only exists in your memory, even if he has obtained the same authority as us, as long as you keep your mouth shut, how can he know those things? "

"By the way, the Mukahe base has been attacked. He and Yagunaktor are the only units that can support in time. Should he be sent?" the first old voice asked.

"I don't think it's a problem, just to try the power of this new toy." The second voice said, "Besides, even if we don't let him go, he will save people, right? This person still has a sense of justice in his bones of."

"The sense of justice is a rare quality." The lady commented, "Although..."

She didn't continue to speak, and the others also kept silent at this time.

……

……

Over the molten mine area, the ancient warship "Yagunaktor", inside the power room.

At the moment when the four substitutes of the Prophet were eliminated, everyone in the reconnaissance team suddenly discovered that the shielding field that originally covered the entire molten mine area disappeared all of a sudden.

At the same time that the shielding field disappeared, everyone in the reconnaissance team received a request for help with the highest priority.

The hound looked down at the content of the request for help, and his expression changed drastically: "An accident happened at the Mukahe base! The heretic sect created a super monster, which directly broke through the base's defense circle from the ground. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely, but the situation cannot be tolerated." Be optimistic, the base may fall at any time."

"Mukah Base? That's a super fortress! More than 1000 million tons of molten steel was poured into the foundation alone. How could it be breached by a heretic sect from the ground?" Layton exclaimed.

"You can find out by clicking on the message yourself." The hound said sullenly, "There are photos and videos in the attachment."

Layton immediately opened the video attached to the message for help, and a few seconds later, he exclaimed again: "Oh my god, this... what the hell is this thing?!"

"Don't ask us, I believe that everyone here has never seen this monster." The hound said, "It must be a new type of biological weapon created by a heretic sect digging up something good from the ruins."

"With this thing, except for the Ark, it is impossible to defend all the strongholds on Alpha Planet." Layton said, "If you want to destroy this thing, I'm afraid you have to mobilize the main fleet."

"Where is the main fleet closest to the Mukakh base?" the hound looked at Aya and asked.

"It's the Third Fleet." Aya replied, "But it will take at least five hours for the Third Fleet to arrive at Mukahe."

"Five hours..." The hound pursed his lips vigorously, "Don't talk about five hours, I don't think they can last even one hour. The only ones who can save them... I'm afraid we are the only ones."

"Us? Are you planning...to use this warship to support the Mukakh base?" Aya was taken aback, and then said seriously, "I reject this proposal! Our top priority is to send this warship back safely Ark, instead of putting it into a dangerous battlefield without authorization! This matter has exceeded the autonomy of the reconnaissance team, even if you are the commander, Ke Lan, I will not be able to follow your orders this time."

She paused, and said decisively: "We, must, give priority to the escort mission of 'Yagunaktor'!"

"Fart! There are more than 10,000 people in that base! We are the only ones who can save them! Do you want us to die?" On the ground, "You people in the Security Bureau have never paid attention to the lives of ordinary people and ordinary soldiers!"

"I really want to save them! If conditions permit, I will definitely not refuse to save them!" Aya snapped, "But have you considered the importance of this battleship? If it falls into the hands of heretic sects, the Ark's The loss will be far more than these 10,000 people! Can you bear this responsibility?!"

The already relaxed atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense - the three agents standing behind Aya subconsciously put their hands on their weapons, while the hounds stared at them angrily, holding each other tightly. His fists kept making "cluck" sounds.

Layton took a step forward, protecting the hound behind him, while Akira Asano casually turned sideways, and lightly put his thumb on the knife.

Just as the smell of gunpowder in the air gradually became stronger, Ke Lan's voice suddenly echoed in the entire power room——

"Captain Breya, anyway, now that the signal blocking has been lifted, you can ask your superiors for instructions to see if they allow this support operation."
