Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 59 Decoy Tactics
"This time, I won't let this beast slip away!" Layton said through gritted teeth.

However, the first attack just now seemed to be a surprise. The No. 14 deep-sea giant eel did not emerge from the water for a full twenty seconds.

"Quick...hold...can't hold it..." Zorigetu squeezed a few words out of his teeth. Unlike conventional gunpowder weapons, which only produce recoil when they are fired, this electromagnetic weapon In the case of charging and waiting, the recoil will be continuously uploaded from the accelerator. The Gaussian firearms used by individual soldiers cannot feel this force due to the extremely short charging time and small kinetic energy. If it becomes a heavy weapon that requires a long charge, the situation is completely different.

Ke Lan, Hound and Liao Zilang hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the frame outside the gun body, and pushed their body against it, as much as possible to bear part of the reverse thrust for Zorigato.

But despite this, there was not much time left for Layton. The powered exoskeleton worn by Zorigtu kept making an overwhelmed "click" sound, and some of the more fragile supports even began to deform.

"Keep your mind! You must keep your mind!" Ke Lan said to Layton, "Don't launch as soon as the target is locked, we don't have a second chance."

"I know I know!" Layton held his breath, his face flushed red, his clothes were rattled by the strong airflow at the hatch, but he was pinned there motionless, like a sculpture .

Layton's mechanical arm was disassembled and turned into a part of the bracket, which was firmly fixed on the nearest keel, while his other hand was suspended on the operation screen of the sight, doing precise work. fine-tuning to the millimeter range.

Thirty seconds passed, and NO.14 still did not appear in the field of vision.

"Ke Lan, this can't be done. That beast is too smart. It's delaying time. If it drags it for another half a minute, this bracket will definitely be scrapped!" Hound said quickly.

"Don't worry, there is still a chance, there must be a chance!"

Ke Lan suddenly realized that this "NO.14" seems to have to surface the sea when commanding other deep-sea giant eels, and the distance cannot be too far away, which is why it has been swimming around the entire battlefield ——In this way, there should be no means of long-distance communication between giant deep-sea eels—as he guessed, when “NO.14” dived into the water to avoid the attack, other giant deep-sea eels attacked Slowed down, for the Pioneer, these thirty seconds are simply a rare opportunity to breathe.

This thirty seconds was won by Ke Lan and the others for the Pioneer, but there is no next thirty seconds left, and it will take nearly a thousand such thirty seconds to wait until the reinforcements from the Ark arrive in Zhonghai...

For the Trailblazers, they had to delay until reinforcements from the Ark arrived, and for the Eels, they only had to tow until the harpoon mounts were scrapped because they reached the metal's fatigue limit. The difference between the two It's just too much...

It is the nature of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. As long as the "NO.14" deep-sea giant eel hides underwater for a few minutes, Ke Lan and the others will no longer have any means to limit it.

As for taking this opportunity to send the heavy artillery down, it is even more nonsense-although the other deep-sea giant eels have temporarily lost their command, as long as the transport ships dare to approach the sea, they will inevitably become their attack targets. The meaty Pioneer, the transport ship's defense capability is much weaker, whether it is an arc attack or a powerful tail flick, it cannot withstand it.

wait!Ke Lan felt a flash of light in his head...seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages..."NO.14" dived into the water to avoid disadvantages, so what about seeking advantages?
Can you trick it out of the water if you put out a big enough bait?
NO.14 is unable to command those deep-sea giant eels on the sea surface underwater. This has been confirmed-if there is a huge hole in the Pioneer's defense at this time, will it be unable to hold back its attack? Desire, floating on the surface?

The brain capacity of this kind of sea beast is not large, even if it is a special individual as a "commander", the IQ of NO.

"Can you get in touch with the Pioneer?"

"...Yes!" The voice of the transport ship captain came from the loudspeaker.

"Let them turn off the engines, slam the boat across, and stop all defensive weapons from firing!"

"What?!" The captain's tone was full of incredible emotions.

"Didn't you hear clearly?!" Ke Lan was a little angry, but he didn't have time to repeat it.

"Listen clearly...but..."

"I'm the commander, do as I say! Also, tell the Pioneer that this is their only chance!" Ke Lan almost shouted.

Benson on the side shook his head again and again: "You are crazy, you are absolutely crazy, you will kill the whole boat!"

However, Ke Lan didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, and instead stared at the Pioneer below.

"The Pioneer sent a message asking for the details of the plan..." The captain's voice sounded again.

"Let them execute it immediately! They still have fifteen seconds at most—no, ten seconds!" Ke Lan roared loudly. Time could not allow him to explain too much. Whether this plan can be successful or not depends on the pioneers. The decision-makers on the number are not decisive enough.

It was definitely a big gamble for that man, the whole boat and the lives of everyone on it.

It's crazy enough to think about a completely unknown plan from someone you've never met... but it's too late to hesitate.

Five seconds later, the Pioneer, which had been advancing at full speed and trying to break through the siege, stopped, and the six large propulsion engines turned off at the same time, and the hull began to slowly smash. ...

Finally, NO.1, which had disappeared from sight for nearly 14 minute, suddenly appeared in front of the Pioneer, and more than ten deep-sea giant eels quickly gathered around it, as if preparing to launch a final attack on the Pioneer... …

"Layton!!"

"I got it!!"

The blue arc crackled, and the second harpoon rushed out of the gun barrel in an instant, turning into a sharp arrow dragging an electric beam and piercing the sea!
"Hit the target!" Layton roared excitedly, "The barb expands! The wire is pressurized! Okay, it can be pulled!"

"Captain, raise the height immediately! We have to pull this thing out of the water!" Ke Lan raised his head and ordered to the camera.
