Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 727 Extinguishing Gel
"Only one-third of the people have evacuated from this block..." Aya's voice sounded in Ke Lan's ear, "There are remnants of heretical sects mixed into the crowd, and the guards have already had many encounters with them. Small-scale firefights... Although these remnants have been killed, there are at least 20 people who were accidentally injured and killed in the firefight... The follow-up stampede deaths and injuries caused by the riots are currently unavailable. A conservative estimate... the death toll Probably more than 200 people!"

"I can't control that much anymore! As many people as possible can be evacuated! Ask the nearby garrison to bring all the vehicles that can transport people to me! If the non-governmental organizations have near-Earth aircraft, all recruits—"

Ke Lan lowered his head, avoiding a spider thread that almost brushed his hair, and continued to shout at the communication equipment: "The building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce will collapse soon, and if this head fuses body exposed to non-enclosed environment, no one in this block can survive!!"

"Why, why?" Aya was obviously stunned for a moment, "With the New Star Chamber of Commerce as the center, the three surrounding streets have all been cleared, even if the monsters rush out, it should not cause casualties to the people—"

"This monster is covered with hyphae of mimic fungi! These human-eating fungal spores can be sprayed up to ten kilometers away! As long as there is a slight contact, it will be parasitized! No one will be spared by then!!" Ke Lan said hoarsely Explained—even with his nine-level enhanced physical fitness, under such a high-intensity chase and escape, it is unavoidable that he is on the verge of the limit, and at the same time, he also needs to use "time stop" frequently to observe the fusion body's attack methods , Planning the moving route... This is simply a double test of his physical and mental strength.

"...How much time is left until the building collapses?" Aya asked anxiously on the communication channel.

"It will not exceed 3 minutes at most." Ke Lan quickly looked around the basement for a week - many walls and partitions have been destroyed and knocked down by the fusion body, and there are many load-bearing walls with steel piles added inside. The ceiling of the basement part has broken and fallen, and the whole building has begun to slope downward and settle.

Ke Lan was not worried that he would be buried alive by the collapsed building - with his ability, it was not difficult to open a passage in the ruins.

However, it is not a difficult task for him, and it is naturally easy for the fusion body.

"Ark Guard Fleet! I am the Undead Crew Club, the fifth seat—the 'Pope', have you done what I just told you!" Ke Lan turned off the team's communication and switched to another channel.

"Report His Excellency the 'Pope', the cruiser 'Xinghuo' has arrived at the designated area, the main gun has fully charged, and has locked on the target area, ready to fire at any time!" A sonorous and forceful voice replied in the communication channel.

"The defense module of the southern area of ​​the Ark! The air defense shields No. 160 to No. 180 No. [-] are all closed! The dome of the hull has been opened, and the airspace of the bombardment track has been cleared!" Another voice responded.

If Ke Lan could run to the street outside at this time, he could see that the giant spherical screen that was originally used to simulate the sky above his head had been closed, and the thick dome was raised towards the surroundings, revealing the real sky above Alpha Star.

Different from the cloudless and clear sky simulated on the screen, the sky over Star Alpha is always covered by a layer of lead gray clouds, the sun cannot be seen clearly during the day, and the stars cannot be captured at night.

No one would like such a sky... It is lifeless, like the wasteland after the end of the world, lifeless.

A cruiser hundreds of meters long hovered 10,000 taels kilometers directly above the fifth district of the South. The figure of the cruiser was obscured by the clouds, and the public could not see its existence even if they raised their heads... But at this moment, The muzzle of the main gun of the cruiser was already aimed at the headquarters building of the Nova Chamber of Commerce below, and the charging array of the plasma cannon continuously flashed blue and white arcs circle after circle.

This shot is enough to reduce the building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce and its fusion body to ashes, and it is also enough to raise the ground temperature of the entire block by hundreds to thousands of degrees.

The air temperature will be heated to more than [-] degrees Celsius, and the moisture in it will be evaporated quickly, and the people in this block will be cooked in just a few seconds, just like food stuffed into an oven. cooked, dried...

This temperature was not high enough to incinerate human bodies, but it was high enough to kill tens of thousands of people in a very short period of time.

If the firing is ordered at this time, it is equivalent to re-engraving a small-scale "Alexander disaster".

But if you don't fire the cannon, let the fusion body rush out of the Nova Chamber of Commerce building, spraying the spores of the mimic fungus into the surrounding blocks... then the situation will only get worse.

By then, the death toll may be more than tens of thousands.

Another load-bearing wall poured with high-strength concrete and solid metal piles was flattened by the tentacles of the fusion body. Those six-meter-long metal piles with a diameter of one hand and a large number of concrete fragments remaining on the surface were directly crushed by the tentacles. Rolled up, and kept shooting towards Ke Lan like throwing spears.

A corner of the basement has completely sunk to the bottom. Thanks to the building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce being rebuilt into a fortress by the remnants of the heretic sect, if it were replaced with other buildings, I am afraid that it would have collapsed by this time.

The northeast corner of the building has been overturned. After losing the load-bearing part, the upper floor was overwhelmed and was directly crushed. The rooms on three or four floors were squeezed together and fell into the foundation with a loud "rumbling" sound. .

If this picture is a bit difficult to imagine, you can imagine what a house made of plasticine and cardboard would look like if it was flattened by someone's buttocks - walls, floors, interior decoration and furniture, all It seems to be compressed, and it is even difficult to distinguish the dividing line between the original floors when viewed from the side.

Part of the collapsed area can even see the light coming in from the outside - if the fusion body destroys a few more load-bearing walls, it is estimated that the rest of the building will completely sink into the foundation.

This building is the last barrier against those deadly spores...

Wait, barrier? !

Ke Lan's mind suddenly became excited. If a building like a building can become a barrier, why can't I put a bigger barrier on the outside?
Anyway, as long as it can block those flying spores!
It is definitely too late for people from the engineering department to rush to make a huge physical cover. If an energy shield is used, it may be possible... No, it will not work. The energy shield with such a huge volume is not fine-tuned. It is impossible to accurately control its range of action when it is launched directly from the air. Can it block the spores? In addition, once it touches the hull of the ark, the block will also be heated.

The degree of heating may not be as terrifying as the heat escaping from the plasma cannon, but the energy shield does not shut down after only a few seconds... This is a continuous heating process, just like boiling a frog in warm water. The temperature in the neighborhood will eventually rise to a lethal level.

And the frog in the pot has no time to...jump out before the temperature of the water becomes fatal.

As for the barrier wall used in the blockade of the whole ship, it can only be found at the junction of the plots, and it will not be useful at this time!
Buildings may provide shelter for the people, but the spores of the mimic fungus are falling from the sky, and if you want to avoid these spores, you must hide inside the building.

In this way, the progress of evacuation will be completely stagnated... As for the fusion body, the spores it can produce are almost endless, as long as it is still alive, it can keep spraying spores around.

If you want to leave this block, you have to expose yourself to the deadly spores falling from the sky, and if you hide in a safe room, you will face the terrifying high temperature and scorching air brought about by the plasma artillery bombardment...

You can only choose one of the two.

No, I have to come up with a better way, and it has to be implemented in a short time——

Another spider thread hit Ke Lan, and Ke Lan's evasion was a little slower, and the left trouser leg was cut with a palm-long opening, but fortunately, the leg inside was not injured.

The fusion body has seldom sprayed spider silk directly at Ke Lan as it did just now. During the chase and escape in just a dozen seconds, it learned to weave the spider silk into a web, and it enveloped Ke Lan overwhelmingly. Coupled with the sneak attack of a single spider silk to force Ke Lan to move, he almost pushed Ke Lan into a desperate situation several times.

"Spider silk... cobweb... liquid secretion... condenses into a solid state when it encounters air..."

Ke Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Cruiser Xinghuo! Do you have fire extinguishing gel on your ship?"

Fire extinguishing gel is a common fire extinguishing material on warships. It is usually stored in a high-pressure metal tank in the form of a mixture of powder and liquid. A gel-like flame-retardant substance that expands greatly in volume, coupled with the dry powder particles entrained in it, has excellent fire-extinguishing capabilities.

Since we can't find a barrier that can block the spray of spores, we can simply shoot the whole body of the fusion body with fire extinguishing gel, so that the hyphae and spores are covered with this viscous and heavy semi-fluid. The fusion ejected these spores, and they couldn't fly very far.

"Yes! There are 2 cubic meters of A6 type fire extinguishing gel and 6 cubic meters of B[-] type fire extinguishing gel on the Xinghuo. In addition, there are four tons of raw materials in the cargo hold. At least [-] cubic meters of B[-] type fire extinguishing gel can be deployed at any time. Gel." The head of the Starfire cruiser immediately reported.

The difference between A2 and B6 types of fire extinguishing gel is whether it is destructive to precision electronic components - the former is more expensive and is generally used for fire extinguishing operations of important facilities in the ship, while the latter is mostly used for the exterior of the ship and armor Part of the fire incident.

For Ke Lan, there is basically no difference between the two.

"10,000 cubic meters of gel..." Ke Lan thought for a while, "At a height of 30 taels kilometers, can you accurately project these gels to a target with a diameter of about [-] meters?"

"It's hard—the spray gun of fire extinguishing gel is not a weapon, and the longest horizontal distance is only 500 meters... Although there is no distance limit for spraying from top to bottom, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed." The cruiser replied.

"Then lower the height! Descend to the height where you can accurately spray these fire extinguishing gels on the target!" Ke Lan roared, "The gel of [-] square meters won't last long, and let all the surrounding people equipped with fire extinguishing gel Airships are coming! My request is that after the target is exposed, its body must be wrapped in gel at all times!!"

"Yes!!"

The Starfire cruiser began to descend as soon as it received the order. At the same time, the synthesis room inside the ship was fully powered, and one after another high-pressure metal tanks were filled with the newly synthesized gel, and then they were dressed in power armor. The soldiers carried it to the bottom cabin non-stop.

The cruiser Xinghuo did not stop until it was only 150 meters away from the building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce. At this time, the cruiser was completely inside the hull of the ark. The huge shadow covered a large block, which caused bursts of excitement from the people. exclaimed.

"Ke Lan! What are you doing?! Why did you let the battleship come down?!" At this time, Aya asked angrily on the communication channel, "Do you think the public's emotions are not panic enough?"

"Shut up! Do your own thing well!" Ke Lan didn't bother to explain to her. The building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce was already in danger and might collapse completely at any time.

"Big guy, I don't have time to go around with you, let's see you on the ground!" After leaving such a sentence, Ke Lan rushed directly to the stairs.

Speaking of which, thanks to the fusion body's wanton destruction, the original maze-like basement has been almost completely destroyed. Except for the collapsed and buried place, all other passages are unimpeded. Ke Lan only spent less than ten seconds. Time, has rushed to the street outside.

Before he had time to catch his breath, a loud noise came from behind. The fusion body's tentacles destroyed the last few load-bearing walls, and the whole building finally completely collapsed!

"Fire extinguishing gel, get ready!" Ke Lan raised his hand and shouted loudly.

The smoke and dust raised when the building collapsed was nearly [-] meters high, but Ke Lan still saw a tentacle penetrate the ruins and come out from the ground——

"shooting!"

The bottom compartment of the Starfire cruiser was completely open, and sixteen fire extinguishing gel guns were clamped by the mechanical arm, aiming at the ruins directly below. White foamy gel sprayed out from the muzzle, and went straight out of the ruins Fusion and go!

In the process of fully reacting with the air, the volume of the fire extinguishing gel expanded rapidly. The fist-sized ball of gel that was originally shot out of the muzzle was large enough to envelop an entire adult when it fell on the ruins. ——This fusion body that just "sees the sun" instantly looks like the heroine in the book, its whole body is covered with white turbid viscous colloid.

Ke Lan stared closely at the white hyphae on the surface of the fusion body—the spores were indeed sprayed out, but under the coercion and drag of the gel, these spores could not fly out even ten meters away, and fell to the ground... …and more spores, unable to even leave the white mycelium that was glued together.

Seeing this scene, Ke Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—although the problem of the fusion body has not been completely resolved, at least the imminent threat has been resolved.
