Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 621 Special combat operations, start

Valentina is still familiar with the operation of the Blasphemer Mech, while Ke Lan has already listed the list of participants in the infiltration operation—except for Valentina, Zelo and himself , Asano Akira, Ivan and Layton's names are also on this list.As for the "Augustus" replaced by Valentina, it was handed over to Layton to drive.

But just when Ke Lan was about to finalize the list, 33 suddenly stood up.

"I'll go too." He said to Ke Lan.

"This operation is very dangerous. I can't guarantee that everyone will come back alive." Ke Lan said, and it was precisely for this reason that he didn't let the Hound and others go with him—the team infiltrated and fought, and soldiers were expensive but not expensive Many, and the hounds are all self-aware people, and they didn't have any opinions because of it.

"This is fighting, not exploring the ruins... You see, although I am very worried about these bastards, I know that I will only be a burden to them, so I will neither force myself nor force them." The hunting dog also looked at 33, "What's more, you are not a member of the Hunting God Hunting Group, so there is absolutely no need for you to take this risk with us."

"I've figured it out. I want to join the Hunting God Hunting Group, so am I obligated to walk with you?" 33 said calmly, "In addition, I think that with my ability, I should not be reduced to burden."

Hearing that 33 was going to join the Hunting God Hunting Group, his companions immediately showed surprise on their faces, and the female military doctor stepped forward anxiously to stop him, but he stopped him with his eyes.

"I should have told you that the mission records of the Velociraptor team have been revised." 33 looked at Ke Lan.

"Well, you said it." Ke Lan nodded, "You were not besieged by indigenous creatures. The enemies you really encountered were a group of monsters created by the Alpha civilization."

"But what I didn't tell you is... the people who drove those monsters were from heretic sects." 33 continued.

"So, are you doing it for revenge?" The hound's eyes changed slightly, "Then we can't let you go. People who take part in actions for revenge are prone to impulsiveness when their brains are hot... You can guarantee that you will see Can you keep your sanity while those damned guys?"

"That's right, as the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge..." Layton immediately echoed, "Anyway, we have already fought against heretical sects, and there are plenty of opportunities to seek revenge from them in the future. You don't need it at all." Obsessed with this action."

"I'm sure I can keep my sanity, otherwise... the Velociraptor team should be completely wiped out." 33 said, "I've had too long a comfortable life, this is a very rare opportunity... I'm worried , in case your actions fail, will I still have such an opportunity in the future."

"Ah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense—" the hound spat on the ground several times, "I haven't set off yet, so let me say that if the operation fails, it's too bad luck!"

"Sorry." 33 bowed slightly to the hound, "But I have made my meaning very clear, I want to participate in this operation."

"Yes, you can join." Unexpectedly, Ke Lan did not refuse 33, "However, you must strictly obey the order—even if the culprit who caused the Velociraptor team to be nearly wiped out stands by you In front of you, without my order, you are not allowed to move a single hair of it."

"Okay." 33 replied.

"I'm going too!" As soon as Chapter 33 was finished, the female military doctor rushed forward and said to Ke Lan, "Take me with you too. My doctor's license is Class B... If I didn't remember If I'm wrong, the doctor in your team has a C-level license. In addition, I have six years of actual combat experience in the Field Corps, proficient in first aid in the field, and can perform multiple surgical operations under various extreme conditions—— If the selection of the team is based on their own skill level, I think I should be qualified—”

"Shut up." The female military doctor was only halfway through when 33 interrupted her indifferently.

"why?!"

"You stay here with others, that's the decision. If you don't obey this decision, then don't form a team with me in the future." 33 said, "But before you quit the team, you must listen to me. "

"you--"

"Uh... In fact, Ivan's level should be more than C-level, it's just that he hasn't had time to test for a higher-level license during this period of time." Ke Lan looked at the two of them helplessly, "And... say It's not a good sentence, I think you are more emotional than 33, so I can't take you to participate in the action."

……

After almost twists and turns, the candidates for the team to participate in the operation were finally decided, and at the same time, the main force of the ground troops of the Field Corps had also assembled on the north side of the White Ridge Mountains, ready to launch an attack on the ancient bronze city site at any time.

According to the secret telegram sent by the Field Corps, they will launch a feint attack on the ruins of the Bronze City six hours later to cover Ke Lan's team to infiltrate, but in order to control casualties, the intensity of the feint attack will not be very strong, and the duration will only be four Hours.Ke Lan and the others had to get through the last [-] kilometers of tunnels within four hours and enter the interior of the Bronze City ruins.

If the goal of this mission is achieved, the feint attack will immediately turn into a real all-out attack, and the main force will continue to put pressure on the heretic sects defending the city on the frontal battlefield, trying to buy time for Ke Lan and the others to seize control of the ruins.

It is no exaggeration to say that every second that the main force on the frontal battlefield won for Ke Lan and the others was filled with a lot of human lives...

This style of play is similar to stud... Whether it is the field army or Ke Lan, they only have one chance.

If this operation fails, it will be as difficult as going to heaven if you want to conquer the ruins of the ancient bronze city again.

Of course, this does not mean that the success rate of this operation is very high... According to the calculation of the staff of the Field Corps, even if Ke Lan and the others sneaked into the ancient bronze city ruins on time, the chance of seizing control of the ruins is less than [-]%.

And the first difficulty before them was how to eliminate the enemies in the tunnel and get through the remaining eleven kilometers within four hours.

According to the original digging speed of the gopher team, it will take at least one day and one night to dig through the eleven kilometers... Even if Ke Lan's team has BUG-level equipment like the "blasphemer" and a BUG-level character like Ze Luo, it will take 24 hours The amount of work to be compressed to less than four hours still seems a bit reluctant.

But this does not mean that this is a task that cannot be completed at all—since the Gopher Squad and the follow-up reinforcements were attacked in the tunnel, it means that there is another entrance and exit in the tunnel, the people or monsters who attacked them, It came in from this entrance.

And this entrance and exit is most likely inside the ancient bronze city ruins... Even if it is not inside the ruins, it should be in the same direction as the ruins.

If they want to reach their destination on time, their only option is to "borrow".

……

The high-speed transport ship that Ke Lan and the others took stopped over a mine 25 kilometers north of the White Ridge Mountains. On the outskirts of the mine, a temporary military base has been established, with about [-] soldiers from the Field Corps stationed there. The base was built less than an hour ago.

Their mission was to prevent the Heretic sect from sneaking up on the rear flanks of the main force from the tunnels dug by the Gopher Squad.

This mine was discovered in the early days of Ark's landing on Alpha Planet. It is rich in aluminum ore and some associated mines. At that time, Ark, which was short of resources, immediately sent a group of engineers to develop this mine, but before it was put into production, people discovered this mine. Although the mine reserves are very rich, the ore contains a lot of impurities and is difficult to smelt. In layman's terms, there are many ores, but the quality is very poor.

As several other, better-quality aluminum deposits were discovered, the mine was abandoned by Ark, leaving only a few unfinished mine shafts.

The excavation point of the gopher team is the end of the main tunnel of Shaft No. [-] - this tunnel almost points straight to the ruins of the ancient copper city located in the northwest of the mine. Using this as a starting point, it can save at least five kilometers of excavation. .

At this moment, due to the loss of contact between the Gopher Squad and the follow-up reinforcements, the wellhead of the No. 50 well has been heavily surrounded by the Field Corps, and four fortress-like "mammoth tanks" form a circle at a distance of [-] meters from the wellhead. Relying on these four tanks, all kinds of heavy weapons set up a strict fire blockade - Ke Lan, who had just stepped off the floating platform, noticed that the materials piled up behind this blockade, except for those plastic steel In addition to conventional ammunition boxes made of high-quality materials, a white buffer shell, frozen storage boxes with their own power supply and combination lock can be seen everywhere.

These refrigerated storage boxes are filled with active ammunition specifically for the species of erosion. According to military standards, a one-meter-square refrigerated storage box should contain [-] rounds of general-purpose ammunition for rifles or [-] rounds of pistol ammunition. ...And as far as Ke Lan could see, he saw at least fifty frozen storage boxes.

In order to fight this battle, the Undead Crew may have put all their belongings that have been saved for several years into it...

Although a round of active ammunition only needs one unit of flesh-eating worm cells, a mature flesh-eating worm can produce at least tens of thousands of active ammunition, but every time a mature flesh-eating worm is cultivated, it needs to consume a living person as "Feed"... If it is said that the active ammunition rations of the frontal troops are so abundant, then the "feed consumption" for the production of this batch of active ammunition is at least a few thousand people.

It is estimated that all the death row prisoners on the Ark in the past few years have not reached this number.

Ke Lan used the highest authority of the Security Bureau to consult information related to the production of active ammunition. The research institute has long tried to use cloned organs and tissues of animals or humans to breed flesh-eating worms, but all experiments failed without exception. , Even human corpses that have been stored in cold storage without necrosis of body tissues have not allowed the eggs of flesh-eating worms to hatch successfully.

Only living people and living people in good physical condition can successfully hatch these eggs and allow them to parasitize in the body.

In this case, "people" naturally become a resource, a resource that can be used to produce "ammunition".

Ke Lan didn't want to think about the source of these active ammunition—it was used as feed for flesh-eating worms, even for death-row prisoners, it was an unbearable torture, not to mention, all death-row prisoners were used as feed, and the output There is still a huge gap.

Undoubtedly, the production of living ammunition is extremely inhumane, but if it is not done, more people will only die in battle with the seed of erosion.

In addition to the active cells of the flesh-eating worms, the stalagmites Ke Lan found in the "Nameless Island" cave can also restrain the seeds of erosion, but compared to the seeds of erosion, the difficulty of obtaining stalagmites is more than one level. ——If it wasn't for the black shadow suspected of being Liao Xing who pushed Ke Lan down the abyss, he wouldn't know how to return to the "Pioneer".

That unnamed island, if there is a chance in the future, Ke Lan will definitely go to find out... But now, now is not the time to think about such things.

The troops stationed at the mouth of the well have given up the passage, and they watched Ke Lan and the others silently... From their eyes, Ke Lan clearly saw a ray of sympathy.

These ordinary soldiers obviously don't know the identity of their team. Perhaps in their view, their team is just like the two groups of people who disappeared in front of them.

Of course, this task is essentially no different from giving away a head...

"By the way, do you have a feeling of deja vu in this scene?" Augustus's cockpit was open, and Layton, who was sitting inside, looked around and said.

"What kind of déjà vu feeling? Have you been to this place before?" 33 turned to look at Layton, and asked a little strangely.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm referring to a mission we took over before." Layton shrugged, "But now the person who issued that mission is about to become our leader's wife."

"You mean the Leviathan time." Ivan continued, "It's different, it feels completely different to me."

"Why? It's obviously very similar—" Layton said again, "I remember that the Soma Consortium also used four tanks to block the mine entrance at that time, but they used heavy hammer-class siege tanks, which were more powerful than the Mammoth. A behemoth is smaller."

"No... In my eyes, Leviathan is a living thing... no matter whether it is dead or alive at that time." Ivan shook his head, "The mines on Leviathan are actually its blood vessels and body fluid pipelines. , in my eyes, it is completely different from the artificially excavated tunnels."

Ivan paused, and continued: "It's like in the eyes of an old dog, you are a big guy with a head full of motor oil, but in my eyes, there are fats, blood vessels and muscles under the skin of your head, and there are fat, blood vessels and muscles below the skin. It's the skull..."

"Uh, do all your doctors see people like this?" Layton felt his scalp feel a little chilly instantly, so he stretched out his hand and touched it twice.

"Anyway, I am like this." Ivan replied casually, then turned to look at Ke Lan, "It's about time, it's time to send it out."
