Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 740 Sudden gunshots

"It's a group of steel-backed one-horned rhinos... Although they are herbivores, they are the more irritable ones among herbivores." Ivan, who was sitting in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, looked at the picture sent by the drone and said, "They're right in our path, and if the off-road vehicle just drives right through them, these grumpy guys will definitely catch up."

Although at the speed of the steel-backed rhino, it is impossible to catch up with Ke Lan's off-road vehicle, but hundreds of steel-backed rhinos with a body weight comparable to that of an elephant are running at full speed in the open area If you get up, the movement will be too loud, who knows what will be attracted...

If it attracts a few predatory creatures, maybe it can be solved through fighting, but if the all-weather reconnaissance drone that the Ark is deployed near the Great Basin is brought in, things will be troublesome.

Although Ke Lan's off-road vehicle and Blasphemer mecha have added anti-radar stealth coating, this "invisibility" is not invisible in the physical sense like optical camouflage. If it is directly exposed to the visible light of the drone If it is under the lens, it will still be discovered.

Even if the undead crew has no time to send someone to stop them, they can still use long-range strikes to destroy their only path-missiles and plasma fly much faster than off-road vehicles.

The operation across the Great Basin must be as fast as possible and as stealthy as possible.

"In 120 seconds, can we clear all the steel-backed one-horned rhinos without using long-range weapons?" Ke Lan asked in the communication channel.

"Yes." Valentina responded immediately, and the Blasphemer Mech suddenly accelerated, overtaking the off-road vehicle, thinking about gliding ahead.

Not long after, the figure of the Blasphemer Mecha appeared in the drone's screen, and those steel-backed one-horned rhinos who were arching the sand with their lips and teeth immediately noticed this giant machine that appeared nearby. Things raised their heads one after another, and looked towards the Blasphemer Mecha.

But before these steel-backed one-horned rhinos could react, the blasphemer mech had already cut into the herd, and the heavy armor-piercing swordsman raised his sword and cut off the two steel-backed one-horned rhinos closest to the waist.

The back of the steel-backed one-horned rhinoceros has a thick layer of "armor", which is composed of multiple layers of composite cuticles and hardened grease. Directly, but in front of the heavy armor-piercing sword of the blasphemer, it is almost indistinguishable from the cream cake under the red-hot metal table knife.

The blasphemer leaned forward and charged forward, the heavy armor-piercing sword drew a round of light like a full moon, and three steel-backed one-horned rhinos were cut open—these corpses of these beasts did not even have time to spurt blood , has been carbonized by the energy shield wrapped on the blade.

The rest of the steel-backed one-horned rhinos didn't react until this time, but instead of rushing towards the Blasphemer mecha, they turned their heads and ran away.

Because they gathered too densely at the beginning, many steel-backed one-horned rhinos were knocked to the ground by their own kind. After countless hooves stepped on the fallen steel-backed one-horned rhinos, these unlucky The individual has completely lost its vitality.

"It seems that no matter how irritable a beast is, it will run away when it encounters an enemy that it can't fight against at all." 33 said in a teasing tone.

"It's the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." Seeing this scene, Ivan was not too surprised, "If our off-road vehicles just pass by them, they will definitely catch up. But if we With the energy shield on their backs, they rampage among this group of steel-backed one-horned rhinos, and if they wantonly crush and kill them, they will choose to avoid it instead."

"Typical bullying." 33 took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously twice. "Actually, there is no difference between a man and a beast."

"From a biological perspective, that's true." Ivan nodded, "Before human ancestors evolved wisdom, we were also a kind of beast."

"Look, these steel-backed one-horned rhinos are quite smart, and they know how to escape in several directions... The mech that the little girl drives is very fast, but in this way, it takes 2 minutes to kill all these guys. It shouldn't be possible to kill them all, right?" 33 looked at the screen and said.

"It's enough to drive away the steel-backed one-horned rhino on the way forward." Ke Lan also noticed this and changed the original order.

In just thirty seconds, more than one hundred steel-backed rhinos were killed by the sword of the blasphemer mecha, and the remaining more than 100 steel-backed one-horned rhinos were divided into more than a dozen smaller clusters Running away in all directions - even if these escaping steel-backed one-horned rhinos attract other predators, it is difficult to create a large-scale animal swarm... Chasing and fleeing like this can be seen everywhere in the wilderness of Planet Alpha , and don't worry about attracting Ark's attention.

Hanging the heavy armor-piercing sword back on its back, the Blasphemer mech circled the slaughterhouse full of carcasses of the steel-backed one-horned rhinoceros, and then returned to the side of the off-road vehicle.

"Sorry, I couldn't do it..." Valentina's voice sounded on the communication channel.

"It's not your fault. What I mean by clearing out these steel-backed one-horned rhinos within 120 seconds refers to the premise that these beasts rushed towards you after being provoked. Since they chose to escape, my original purpose It can be regarded as achieved, there is actually no difference between killing them all." Ke Lan said.

Valentina did not continue to speak, and the communication channel was once again silent.

The Blasphemer Mecha is not without long-range weapons. In addition to the small and powerful plasma cannon that comes with it, Layton and Chi Hanfeng also added a lot of extra weapons to this mecha. A set of additional equipment named "HWS Expansion Set" by Layton.The sharp-edged external armor almost completely hides the original features of the Blasphemer Mecha. On the premise of not affecting the flexibility of the movable joints as much as possible, the external armor is equipped with a full twenty different weapons—— —In Layton's original words: "Anyway, the power of the Blasphemer mech is so strong, and it also has an anti-gravity device. Even if a [-]-ton weapon is hung on it, the mobility can still explode on the ark. All mass-produced airframes."

But before entering the foggy forest, it is best not to use these weapons, so as not to be discovered by nearby drones or observation stations.

"The road is clear, keep going." Just when Ke Lan was about to step up the accelerator, a gunshot echoed over the Great Basin very abruptly.

Although Ke Lan couldn't tell which type of firearm it was, at least he could be sure that the gunshot came from a large-caliber anti-material sniper rifle with a caliber of at least [-] inches.

Besides them, there are other people active in the Great Basin!
