Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 599 Air Raid

We must find a way to destroy this laser scalpel!

As a high-precision scientific research equipment, the laser scalpel itself—especially the laser emitting part, is actually very fragile, and it doesn't take much effort to smash it.

But the problem is, how can Lin Qiming and the others destroy the laser scalpel outside without opening the hatch?
Lin Qiming’s first reaction was the porthole on the hatch—this porthole glass is fixed to the hatch with expansion bolts. Compared with the one-piece hatch casting, this piece of glass is the only “glass” on the entire door. Weak point", with the equipment held by Lin Qiming's team, it is completely possible to disassemble the laser scalpel before the group of hijackers outside can adjust it.

Then they only need to shoot outside through this window, and they can easily destroy the laser scalpel that is close at hand.

But after thinking about it, Lin Qiming immediately rejected this idea.

The shape of the porthole on the hatch is a near-rectangular ellipse, about 25 centimeters high and less than [-] centimeters wide, nearly twice as small as the porthole on the fuselage connected to the outside.

Such a small hole, even those who have practiced the "Bone Shrinking Skill", may not be able to get through it, let alone the group of hijackers outside.

But the fact that people can't get through doesn't mean that the "Seed of Corrosion" in their body can't get through - the body of the Seed of Corrosion is a soft-bodied creature similar to an octopus. The mature erosion seeds of adult men can easily pass through bowl-sized pipes. The only thing that can limit their "deformation" is the diameter of the hard "core" in the body.

And like the Seed of Corrosion that has just entered the mature stage from the catastrophic period, the "core" is about the size of an egg. With the size of this porthole, it is enough for more than a dozen Seed of Corrosion to drill in at the same time.

Lin Qiming's firepower is completely insufficient to deal with the attacks launched by more than a dozen Seeds of Corrosion, and this fragile line of defense will collapse in an instant.

If they remove the porthole glass now, they will be providing convenience to the hijackers.

This approach doesn't work.

Lin Qiming breathed heavily the blood-smelling air in the first-class cabin, his brain was running fast—he suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

He shouldn't think about how to intercept the hijackers in the direction of the cargo hold, even if he successfully keeps them out, it's only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.Even if they can stick to the first-class cabin, the rescue force outside the plane may not be able to rescue them safely.

If you want to completely solve the hijacking incident, you should first find a way to regain control of the plane!
Those inside the plane are the key to the entire rescue operation... They have advantages that external rescuers do not have.

Now they have controlled the first-class cabin and separated the cockpit from the cargo compartment. Although this separation is only temporary, it is enough for them to do a lot of things during this period of time.

On the other side of the cockpit, there were only two hijackers who were pretending to be pilots. The Crisis Management Division had an absolute advantage in terms of combat power and numbers.

Lin Qiming couldn't help but want to slap himself on the ear—probably due to the continuous high-intensity overtime work these few days, his brain was damaged, and he didn't even think about such a simple thing... From the beginning, he should focus on Just put it in the control of the plane!
"Two groups stay in the first-class cabin. If the direction of the cargo compartment is compromised, delay as long as possible! One group, follow me, we'll get the cockpit back!" Lin Qiming said loudly.

……

……

"Report sir, the radar has detected the target, it's right below us." The fighter pilot was Ke Lan's old acquaintance, one of the two pilots involved in the scandal on the previous transport plane.At this moment, he was holding the joystick of the plane tightly with both hands, staring closely at the radar picture directly ahead, and lowering the altitude of the plane little by little.

In the entire No. [-] Fleet, his piloting skills can be regarded as one of the best, otherwise, it would not be his turn to fly a plane for an "important person" like Ke Lan.

"I saw it too." Ke Lan stood on the passenger seat, supported the cockpit hatch with both hands, pressed his face against the cabin glass, and looked down, "It's very close, the visual distance is about less than 300 meters."

"According to the news sent by the fighter formation sent by the First Fleet, the target has been flying in the direction of true north and has not changed its course," said the pilot captain.

"Actually, I really want to chase it down. Maybe I can find an important stronghold of a heretical sect... But I'm afraid that the other party has already prepared, and it may be difficult to save people when the time comes," Ke Lan said.

"Actually, it's quite difficult to save people in this situation..." the pilot captain muttered softly.

"Keep the same course as the target, shorten the distance as much as possible, and notify the fighter formation of the First Fleet behind, so that they are ready to respond at any time." Ke Lan glanced at the landform directly below, and there was a vast plain below ——According to his plan, the worst scenario is to completely destroy the transport plane in the fight with the hijackers, so that the researchers on the plane can only be forced to parachute to escape.It would be fine if it landed on the plain, but if it flew a further distance and entered the intersection of the White Ridge Mountains and the Yongshuang Mountains, the difficulty of searching and rescue would be greatly increased.

"The relative distance is 170 meters, and the relative speed is zero." The pilot captain said, "The opponent's radar should have detected us, but they don't seem to have taken any countermeasures."

"Probably because we are holding important hostages in our hands, and we feel that we will not attack them, so we are confident." Ke Lan said, "Can we get closer?"

"I'll try." The pilot captain nodded, and slightly pressed the joystick in his hand, controlling the fighter to keep approaching the Hercules transport plane below.

"The relative distance, 25 meters, 23 meters, 20 meters... the relative speed, zero... can't get any closer. At this distance, as long as the hands of the other pilot or I shake a little, the two planes will directly collide with each other. Together."

"I remember when performing stunts, isn't the minimum distance between the flight formations only a few meters?" Ke Lan asked.

"Sir... You also know that it's a stunt show. Those pilots have been partners with each other for decades. To them, the team members are more trustworthy than their left and right hands... And the pilot of the plane below I don’t even know if he has a formal flight license, and I absolutely dare not take this risk.”

The pilot captain paused, and added: "Of course, if the guy driving the transport plane below is Mesa, I dare to stick it within five meters."

The Mesa he was talking about referred to the lieutenant pilot who was in the co-pilot seat of the transport plane back then. Including the time in the Zero Fleet, the two had been partners for exactly ten years.

"16 meters... This is already the limit distance I can react in time to avoid." The pilot captain said, "Sir, are you really planning to just... jump to the gang?"

"Yeah." Ke Lan patted the pilot's shoulder, "Get ready, I'm going to open the hatch."

"Understood." The pilot captain grabbed the oxygen mask and put it on his face, raised his left hand and gave Ke Lan a thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Lan lifted the hatch of the cockpit.

A strong airflow rushed towards the face immediately, whipping on the lifted hatch cover and making crisp and clear sounds continuously.Ke Lan tightly grasped the pull ring on the edge of the cockpit to prevent the whole person from being pulled out by the strong airflow.

It is not the first time for Ke Lan to perform "jumping gang" at such high altitudes while flying at high speed... But before this time, he has done this operation in computer games...

Even in virtual games, such difficult operations cannot be completed 100% every time.

The reason why Ke Lan dared to do this is that even if he missed the jump, he could rely on the living armor to reproduce a "hard landing" at this height, unless he directly crashed into the air intake of the transport plane when he jumped off , then we can only try to see whether the strength of the active armor is higher, or the alloy blades rotating at high speed in the air intake of the transport plane are stronger...

"Three, two, one."

Ke Lan silently recited three numbers in his heart, and then jumped up!
The moment he left the cockpit of the fighter jet, countless bright red blood had already come out from every pore on his body, and in a blink of an eye, a set of strangely shaped armor was formed on his body surface.

……

……

"Hercules" transport aircraft, interior, first class.

Lin Qiming and his men were about to raid the cockpit when they suddenly heard a loud "bang" from above the plane. Accompanied by the loud noise, the entire "Hercules" transport plane seemed to shake slightly.

"What's going on?" Lin Qiming was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the top of the plane.

"Deputy Section Chief...Could it be...Could it be that the people above have already decided to shoot us down?" An operator of the Crisis Management Section said worriedly.

"No." Lin Qiming shook his head, "If the higher authorities decided to shoot down the plane, we would probably have crashed by now."

Lin Qiming is very aware of the firepower configuration of the active fighter jets of the main fleet of the Ark. The cluster laser cannon only needs one shot to disintegrate this kind of transport aircraft without energy shields. Although Hercules is called a "heavy transport aircraft", But this heavy refers to its powerful capacity, and does not mean how thick the armor is.

"I feel like something hit the plane." Another older and more experienced crisis management officer said, "Listening to the sound, the location of the impact seems to be in the direction of the cargo hold."

"The direction of the cargo compartment..." Lin Qiming's heart tightened. Although his reason told him that what he should do now is to seize the time and occupy the cockpit before the door of the first-class cabin was cut open, but for some reason, there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. The impulse to suppress, I want him to find out.

His intuition told him that this loud noise might be the key to breaking the game... and his intuition has always been accurate.

"You come to lead the team. After breaking into the cockpit, no matter whether the opponent resists or not, they will all be killed. Remember to use active ammunition to replenish the gun, and there is no need to save bullets." Lin Qiming patted the elderly operator and said.

"How about you, deputy chief?"

"I'll go over and have a look..." After saying that, Lin Qiming got up and ran towards the cargo hold.

And when he rushed to the cabin door, he happened to see the death of the last hijacker through the porthole—an arm completely covered under the blood-red armor pierced the hijacker's chest from behind, sharp The sharp claws grabbed a "core" wrapped in blood and minced meat.

In the next second, the claw directly crushed the "nucleus". As for the drop of bright red blood-like substance inside the "nucleus", it was sucked by a few tiny tentacles that suddenly appeared on the surface of the scarlet armor. clean and dry.

Those tiny tentacles appeared and disappeared so quickly that Lin Qiming had hallucinations - he was completely unsure whether what he saw just now was real or just imagined in his mind.

The hijacker whose chest was pierced fell to the floor with a "plop", revealing the figure standing behind him.

The blood-colored armor with a strange shape exuded a strong ominous aura. Although Lin Qiming knew that the opponent was probably not his enemy, driven by instinct, he only wanted to stay as far away from this armor as possible.

What made him fear and resist was not the person wearing the armor, but the armor itself...

Although he has never seen this thing before, his intuition tells him that this armor is alive and has vitality... Although he does not know how it is tamed by the wearer, if this thing gets out of control, it will definitely It will cause an unimaginable disaster.

The danger level of this armor is even higher than that of SP level mutants.

"Perhaps, only the body of the 'meme'... or the existence of the primordial species can suppress it?" Lin Qiming thought.

Of course, if he had witnessed the scene of Ke Lan tearing up Seraphim wearing a living armor that day, he probably wouldn't think so.

Lin Qiming didn't know the existence of the living armor, let alone the connection between it and Ke Lan. As for the officers and soldiers who had seen Ke Lan in this state with their own eyes, they were all given the highest level of gag order to ensure that the news did not will leak.

"Who... are you?" Lin Qiming held the pistol tightly in both hands, aimed at the "uninvited guest" on the other side through the door panel of the cabin door, and asked in a somewhat dry voice.

"Ah...it's Deputy Section Chief Lin, long time no see." Scarlet Armor raised his hand and waved it towards the porthole.

Although the voice coming from the armor seemed a bit dull, Lin Qiming was no stranger to this voice.

"Ke, Ke Lan?!"
