Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 7 Schizophrenia

"This... we can't take a detour now, it's the same as saying it and not saying it." The Hound sighed, "I'm afraid this level is sad."

"If you react fast enough, you may be able to escape the moment the trap is triggered, but the risk is still very high." Ke Lan said, he remembered that during that exploration, there was a hunter who was a thief, relying on his agile movement skills Dodged three traps in succession, until hitting the fourth trap was hit because of lack of physical strength.

This is also an important reason why they finally chose to take a detour: even if you avoided the first trap, it was difficult for you to stop from this moment. The scope of the trap is much larger than the trigger range. Guarantee, you can only maintain a high-speed movement state - in this case, you have no right to choose your own foothold, and then you will trigger more traps one after another until you are exhausted.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are masters who can rush out of the trap area in one breath, but this difficulty is like going to the minefield with the flesh, you must be faster than the flying fragments to reach the safe area safely.

What's more, the area of ​​the hall in front of them is larger than what Ke Lan and the others encountered before, and the number of "landmines" will only be more, not less...

"I can try." Akano Asano was speaking. At this time, he had already taken off his heavy protective suit and worn out armor, leaving only a sleeveless combat uniform made of reinforced fiber.

Ke Lan found that the arms exposed by Akano Asano were densely covered with various scars, and almost no skin was intact.

What the hell is this guy...

"Are you sure?" Ke Lan glanced at the alloy column in the center of the hall, then looked at the two entrances at the ends of the short axis of the ellipse, and said, "The door directly opposite is too far away to be considered. The one closest to us The safe area is nine floors of three times three on the left and right sides. The straight-line distance is about 120 meters. You will pass through about 40 yuan to 50 yuan of floors. At least half of the floors inside will trigger traps... As for the coverage, it is almost All the way."

"My gravity resistance training record when moving is 125 times my body weight, and the time is 1.75 seconds. If it is only [-] times gravity, I should have time to get out of that area." Akano Asano replied, and he handed the protective suit and armor to When he met Ke Lan, the sword was tied behind his back with a rope.

125 times? 1.75 seconds?The other five couldn't help looking at each other. If what he said was true, then this was undoubtedly a monster-like statistic - you must know that even the elite space shuttle pilots on the Ark only have the highest intensity of overweight and overload training. G's gravity is only, and they are still wearing anti-G suits and fixed on the seat for training.

120 five times the gravity in the mobile state?Ke Lan couldn't even think about it.You must know that the strength of human bones has a limit. If you keep still, a moment of [-] times the gravity may not crush the bones, but if you enter a state of motion at this time, the load-bearing limit of the bones will be reduced to One-fifth to one-tenth of the fixed state, there is only one ending, and that is literally "shattered bones".

In Ke Lan's view, this is not training at all, but murder.

Unless Akano Asano has undergone a top-level biochemical transformation of level [-] or above, or, like the protagonist in an antique sci-fi movie, replaced the calcium in the bones of the whole body with high-strength alloys... But the transformation of people above level [-] The entire ark There are only a few, with their identities and abilities, it is absolutely impossible for them to fall to this point; as for Edman alloys, it is no longer a science fiction, but a mythical category.

"The types of traps are not limited to this one. You still have to be more careful. I will record every floor you stepped on... I wish you good luck." Having said that, Ke Lan is impossible. Going to stop Asano Akira, besides, he can't think of a better way to crack it.

"My speed will be very fast, you all keep an eye on my feet." After saying this, Asano Akira rushed out like an arrow from the string.

However, as soon as his front foot left the safe area, Ke Lan felt a strong sense of crisis and shouted: "Fast back! Back six spaces!"

In addition to the nine safe areas, no one knows which floor hides the trap. If the first floor is triggered, then even the safe area will be affected—

Sure enough, as soon as Akano Asano landed, his whole body trembled, and the expression on his face also appeared unnatural for a moment. Fortunately, he quickly got out of the overweight quagmire and continued to rush forward.

"Directly ahead, based on the center of the safety zone, coordinates 2-2, gravity trap." Ke Lan quickly wrote it down, "The first step was wrong, and it may be difficult to find a safe route after seeing this trip. "

This is the method he and Akano Asano chose. This is the stupidest, but also the least error-proof, method of cracking—human-flesh trial and error, eliminating the plots that trigger the trap one by one, and then finding a safe path.

Based on the calculated mathematical expectation, Asano would need at least three trips back and forth to find a safe route, and with bad luck, the number would rise to eight or nine.

On the premise of ensuring his own safety, Akano Asano must step on as many floors as possible, which is also a severe test for his physical strength.

"Coordinates 4-9, ground thorn traps, the height of the thorns is about thirty centimeters, and the interval is ten centimeters... Coordinates 7-16, um, it seems to be a gravity trap... Coordinates 14-30, this should be a high temperature trap, the surrounding The density of the air changes, causing the light to refract..."

Akano Asano hardly slowed down, the contact between his toes and the floor was only a short moment, and then he would jump out a few meters away under the action of powerful force, moving left and right, he was like a dance with death. , but death cannot keep up with his rhythm.

"Coordinates 67-83, current trap, huh..." Ke Lan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after recording the last site. At the same time, Akano Asano, who was standing in the safe area in the distance, was already in a mess. .

His clothes and trousers were torn to varying degrees, his thick protective boots were burnt to a pitch blackness, and a broken hair was electrocuted into an explosive head, making him look a bit funny.

In the eyes of everyone, Akano Asano, who can almost be equated with monsters, is so embarrassed. If it were a different person, I am afraid that he would have died without a whole body...

"Asano, you should rest for a while, and wait until the state recovers before taking the next action. In addition, I have recorded all the traps you triggered just now on the map, and I will send them to you now." Ke Lan said to the communication device, But before he could send the map, the hound barked strangely, hugged his waist violently, and dragged him back into the passage!

"What's going on?!" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, but before anyone else could answer him, he suddenly discovered that the two calves of Zorigtu, the farthest away from the passage, had already submerged under the ground!The originally solid floor had turned into gravel at some point, and if it wasn't for the hound pulling him, he would probably have sunk into it at this time.

"It's quicksand! What's going on? Who triggered the trap?" Ke Lan shouted, "Quick, pull him out!"

"No one triggered it, the safety zone has changed, and the entire safety zone has become a trap!" Layton said, the robotic arm he stretched out had already caught Zorigtu's shoulder, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief ——Fortunately, it is quicksand. If it were replaced by other more deadly traps, I am afraid that except for Asano Akira, this hunter team will be wiped out...

At this moment, Trorigtu suddenly cried out in pain: "Ah - wow - something! Something is biting my leg! My leg!!"

The hound, who was also planning to go to Ladrorigato, stepped back again and again and shouted: "There is something under the quicksand, everyone, get ready!"

It took four or five seconds for Layton to pull Zorigtu out. This strong Mongolian man had already fainted. Everyone was horrified to find that below his knees, there was only one left. Sensen's bones!

"Swish..." With a tingling sound, countless black beetles crawled out of the pits formed by the quicksand. Each of these beetles was the size of a palm, and the front end of the mouthparts had a For the three-lobed mandible that is completely disproportionate to the body, the inside of the mandible has sharp serrations - this is an organ that has evolved to grind flesh and blood.

"Cleft worm! It's a cleft worm!" the hound exclaimed. Unlike the little bugs that could control the corpse before, they are not unfamiliar with the schizophrenia - this is definitely the last thing hunters want to encounter. One of the indigenous creatures of Alpha Planet!

They are like the super-evolutionary version of the army ants on the earth. Wherever they pass, only a skeleton will be eaten by any creature, even the famous thunder beast is no exception.

According to the Alpha Star Exploration Guidelines, whenever any signs of activity of the cleft worm swarm are found, they must be reported to the Ark as soon as possible, followed by the emergency evacuation of all nearby ground units, and the drones with napalm will be dispatched to use the sea of ​​fire to attack the entire area. Area is carpet swept.

Radiation, bullets, explosives, and highly toxic broad-spectrum insecticides are all unsatisfactory in killing schizophrenia. Only high temperature and flame are their real nemesis - but the problem is that Ke Lan and the others don't have them at all. Such a weapon!

"Run! Run! I'll break it!" Leighton stepped back, holding the unconscious Trorigato in one hand, the machine gun in the other hand roaring wildly, and the six barrels spit out long tongues of flame ——But this firepower is completely a drop in the bucket. After a wave of Schizophrenia is repelled, there will be more rushing forward, and they will come out of the pothole in an almost endless stream.

It's like a shark that smells blood... Ke Lan thought as he ran... He has never seen a real shark, and he doesn't know what a shark that is attracted by blood looks like, but the writers of the old era It seems that he likes this rhetoric very much to describe those fanatical hunters... However, if they are thrown into the current environment, perhaps a more appropriate metaphor will be born?

"Like a cleft worm that found its prey—"

……

They are all over the place, on the ground, on the wall, on the ceiling... Five people are running wildly, not daring to stop for a moment, Leighton has long given up the idea of ​​fire suppression, and even the expensive machine gun was given to him by him. Removed, in order to be able to reduce a little burden.

"I don't want to die here—" the hound howled hysterically. He couldn't care about the threat of radiation anymore. He took off his protective suit with his hands and feet, and threw it behind him, just blinking an eye. After a while, the bright yellow protective suit was swallowed up by the black insect swarm.

　My health is not very good today, my head is a little dizzy, my throat is still sore, maybe I have a cold, this chapter has been written for a full five hours, and then one of the sequelae of chemotherapy, my fingers are numb, and it is a little serious today. It takes energy and time to revise, there may be a lot of typos and various small mistakes. If you see it, please bear with it. It’s better to help me point it out in this chapter. I will revise it when I wake up tomorrow.
