Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 610 Being watched

"But after you left the ark, the target's trajectory changed again." Cao Ge added, "But if you draw an extension line in the direction of each change of direction, this line will pass through where you are. The real-time coordinates of the location."

"It's really staring at me... It seems that no matter how far I am from it, it can lock my position..." Ke Lan pondered, "Could it be that the 'god' of the heretic sect gave it Ability?"

What makes Ke Lan somewhat puzzled is why the "great god" bestowed the black mummy with unparalleled strength, an indestructible body, and a tracking ability that is almost comparable to the GPS of the old era. What about a slightly easier brain?
As long as the monster's IQ is higher—it doesn't need to be much, as long as it can reach the level of normal people—the trouble it will bring to Ke Lan and Fang Zhou will be hundreds of times as much as it is now.

At least, it won't be bumping around in the mountain like a fool like it is now.

Could it be that there were not enough sacrifices when offering sacrifices?
Ke Lan wasn't sure, but luckily at that time, besides him, there were only three people and the three-headed erosion seed in the entire cockpit who could be sacrificed. Otherwise, the thing summoned by the black bishop probably wasn't this Silly black mummy.

But this incident also reminded Ke Lan that in the sacrifice ceremony of the bishop in black, the number of sacrifices can be superimposed... That is to say, if heretical sects want to make trouble, they can even gather more than a dozen A black-clothed bishop plus hundreds of containers to complete the "Fusion Sacrifice"... With this amount of sacrifices, probably a primordial species can be summoned, right?
wait!

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Ke Lan's head...

Those prehistoric species on this planet must have been summoned in this way, right?

Otherwise, why can't their genetic samples match up with any kind of indigenous creatures on Planet Alpha?
There are no relative species, and they have not left the slightest trace in the process of biological evolution, and they are not even the creation of the Alpha civilization-these prehistoric species really seem to have emerged out of thin air.

It's so weird...

The heretical sect clearly holds such a powerful force in their hands——to advance, they can use the "side effects" that occur when the sacrificial ceremony is interrupted to draw a lottery; to retreat, they can also gather a group of black bishops and seed containers to summon the prehistoric A monster of this level... No matter which choice you choose, you can severely damage or even destroy the ark, but the prophet didn't do this.

In this way, Ke Lan has more reason to believe that there is something in the Ark that the Prophet very much wants, or is very afraid of.

"The target appears in the field of vision!" The staff officer on the side shouted, and saw that on the top of a mountain, a black mummy emerged from the hard rock formation, raised his head, and looked at the battleship hovering high in the sky.

Its sight spanned a distance of hundreds of meters, penetrated layers of armor and cabins on the battleship, and locked firmly on Ke Lan's body - Ke Lan took a step back, and its sight also moved a few times Spend.

It's a pity that the black mummy doesn't have the ability to fly, and it doesn't seem to know how to jump, so it can only stand on the top of the mountain, raise its head, and look blankly at Ke Lan who is on the airship.

Just when most people thought that the black mummy had nothing to do, the ear-piercing siren rang inside the "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship, and then, a thousand more than 600-meter-long super battleship trembled in the air When I got up, it seemed that I was about to crash at any time.

The metal parts of the officers' uniforms in the command room, such as buttons and rings, fell off one after another, and were instantly sucked to the floor.And the holographic projection image on the podium was even covered by large snowflake-like disturbances.

"What's going on!" Cao Ge's voice seemed a bit painful - although his mechanical prosthetic body is made of high-end titanium alloy and Nino alloy, some circuit structures and magnetized components will inevitably be disturbed by the magnetic field. Even though these prosthetics have taken this problem into consideration at the beginning of their design, there are limits to the protective measures. When the magnetic field is strong enough, they will still be impressed.

Black gore flowed from Cao Ge's nostrils and ears. He clenched his teeth and firmly grasped the edge of the table with his fleshy arms.

"Report! The hull is being pulled by a strong external magnetic field! The risk of crashing is rapidly increasing!" The captain's voice came from the communicator, "We may lose control of the battleship at any time!"

"Immediately, increase the altitude!" Cao Ge said decisively.

The eight main propellers of the "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship with a diameter of more than 35 meters ejected a faint blue tail flame at the same time. After the head of the battleship was raised to a certain angle, the whole battleship trembled towards a higher place to fly to.

It wasn't until the reading on the altimeter jumped to 700 more than [-] meters that the hull of the battleship stabilized, and the strong magnetic field interference also disappeared.

The military doctor on the battleship rushed over at this time, helped Cao Ge sit on a special wheelchair, and attached electrodes of various inspection equipment to his body and prosthetic body.

It wasn't until the military doctor injected a tube of dark brown medicine into Cao Ge's body that Cao Ge's shortness of breath gradually calmed down.

"What happened just now? Is it related to the target? Hurry up and investigate!" Cao Ge ordered his subordinates, and several technical officers immediately buried their heads in front of the computer and started typing.

A data model was quickly projected in front of everyone.

"Just twenty seconds ago, the magnetic field around the target's body disappeared—to be precise, it didn't disappear, but was constrained into a straight line." A technical officer said with some stuttering, "We don't know What is the principle behind this, but judging from the results of comprehensive analysis of various monitoring data, the goal is to 'twist' the magnetic field on its body into a 'rope'...a 'gravitational rope' thousands of meters long. "

"You mean, the battleship was held by this 'gravity rope' just now, right?" Cao Ge asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." The technical officer nodded.

"Continue to maintain this altitude, and monitor the range of the magnetic and gravitational fields around the target at any time." Cao Ge ordered.

"Yes!"

"The situation doesn't seem right." Ke Lan shook his head, "This thing...seems to be a little smarter."

"It seems to have a certain learning ability..." Cao Ge frowned, and the muscles on his face collapsed so tightly that his half-flesh, half-mechanical face looked even more ferocious.

"If it used this trick on the 'Albatross' just now, it would be impossible to escape this gravitational field with the propulsion of the plane's engine." Ke Lan said, "The 'Albatross' will crash directly, and the crew on the plane will not be able to escape from this gravitational field." There was no chance of escape."

"Is this good news or bad news?" Cao Ge couldn't help showing a wry smile.

It's just that on his face, laughing is almost scarier than crying... Ke Lan suddenly understood why the new commander of the First Fleet had a poker face most of the time—— Perhaps the expressionless look is the least intimidating.

"At least it's good news until no actual loss is caused." Ke Lan turned to look at Ze Luo behind him, "How about it, can you get rid of this thing?"

"I can try...but it's too far away from here." Zelo said softly.

"Okay then, I'll take you down."

"I'll immediately arrange for an elite force to escort you to the target." Cao Ge said immediately, but Ke Lan waved his hand at him—"There's no need for your subordinates to take this risk, even if we are really in danger , do you think they can play any role?"

This sentence immediately choked Cao Ge speechless—Ke Lan was right at all. It is useless to send more and more elite soldiers to an enemy that cannot even be killed by the First Fleet. The so-called "escort" ", it sounds more like a joke.

"Okay, okay...then I wish you luck."

……

In order to prevent the aircraft from being captured by the black mummy's magnetic field again, Ke Lan and Ze Luo took a light glider that was made of high molecular polymers and had no metal parts on the whole body.The moment the glider passed over the top of the mountain, Ke Lan jumped out of the cabin with Ze Luo in his arms, and landed less than 20 meters away from the black mummy.

The black mummy turned around slowly, staring at him with eyes without whites, and took a step towards Ke Lan.

But in the next moment, an astonishing scene appeared—the lower body of the black mummy was moving forward, but its upper body was frozen in place... Immediately afterwards, this strange feeling of incongruity was interrupted by a "click" The crisp sound was broken, and an obvious crack appeared on the waist and abdomen of the black mummy.

This crack expanded rapidly, covering the middle of the black mummy's body like a spider's web.

This is the first time that its body has been damaged by the naked eye. Black, metallic debris fell from its body, and before it landed, it had turned into finer dust and completely dissipated In the bitter cold wind.

"I froze the space where its upper body was, but its legs didn't stop..." Ze Luo said to Ke Lan, "In fact, its body was torn apart by its own strength..."

"I know the power of this thing is terrifying, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous..." Ke Lan smacked his lips, and his body, which was unscathed by the nuclear explosion, could be torn apart by force... Then For this black mummy, it should be easier to tear up those warships floating in the sky.

"Crack..."

The cracks were still spreading... Finally, the upper and lower body of the black mummy broke apart, its legs took a few steps forward with inertia, and then fell to the ground with a bang, directly shattered into powder.

The body whose physical strength was far superior to that of Nino alloy, now looks as fragile and fragile as ordinary glass...

In the next second, the upper body liberated from the frozen space-time also hit the ground—different from the lower body, an irregular crystal fell out of the fragments of the black mummy's upper body.

The shape of this crystal looks like the "core" of the Seed of Corrosion, but there is no bright red "blood of God" inside, only a black round droplet like asphalt.

When Ke Lan picked up the crystal, the drop of liquid was rapidly shrinking... In less than three seconds, it completely disappeared under Ke Lan's eyes, leaving only a hard transparent crystal.

Ke Lan put away the crystal casually, turned his head, only to find that Ze Luo was raising his small head, looking at the sky dully.

"what happened?"

Ke Lan also followed her gaze to the sky, but she could only see the battleships covering the sky and the fighter jets of various colors surrounding the battleships, and did not find any other abnormal things.

"Just now, when this thing shattered, something seemed to glance at me." Ze Luo said.

"Is it the Undead Crew?"

"It's not them... It's a completely different feeling. That line of sight seems to come from a very, very far away place." Ze Luo said.

Ke Lan's breath was suddenly suffocated.

He knew exactly what "that line of sight" Zelo was referring to.

That was his gaze—when the black mummy was summoned to this world, Ke Lan had felt his gaze, and now, when the black mummy fell apart, his gaze was once again on the planet's Swept over.

But this time he was not looking at Ke Lan, but Ze Luo who killed the black mummy.

Ke Lan felt his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but carefully looked at Ze Luo, trying to find any slight changes in her body.

"Do you have any different feelings from before?" Ke Lan couldn't help asking.

Ze Luo shook his head and said: "Only when I was stared at by that gaze just now, my body seemed to be unable to move... But that was only a short moment, measured by human timing units, even one microsecond None."

For human beings, a microsecond may be just a thought that flashes through the mind without leaving much memory. It is not even a momentary illusion... But anyone who has been watched by him People don't think so.

At the moment of being watched, time is frozen... A moment is eternity, and it is really suitable here.

It was an "unforgettable" experience. Although all the details will become blurred in the memory, the line of sight itself will be deeply imprinted in the consciousness of the person being watched.

"Apart from that? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body?" Ke Lan asked again.

"My body does not produce uncomfortable symptoms. However, if you want me to simulate human ailments or physical injuries, I can do it too..." Ze Luo looked at Ke Lan with some doubts.
