Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 790 "Genoa"

"These corpses...have also been transformed into biological weapons by the forest?" Ivan didn't feel how terrifying the hell-like scene in front of him... This kind of plot is reasonable in a horror movie. But in front of him, a veteran relic hunter who has experienced many battles, these resurrected corpses are not even comparable to those ghost-faced giant owls just now.

The only thing that interests Ivan is that the ligaments connecting the bones of these corpses, and the muscles used to drive the bones, have been turned into nourishment by the fog perches, but relying on a few bones, not only can't It is difficult to even maintain a human shape when moving.

The common mobs "skeleton soldiers" in magical works are condensed and driven by magic power, and this magic power is used to replace ligaments and muscles... Once the "skeleton soldiers" are killed, they lose their magic power Afterwards, even if the entire skeleton was not destroyed, it would instantly disintegrate into a messy skeleton.

And like the complete human skeleton in medical school, the things used to replace ligaments and muscles are screws and gears.

Without soft tissue, even if the hard bones are piled up into the shape of human bones, they will completely lose their mobility.

Ivan carefully observed the corpses that had broken free from the tree trunks, and he found that each corpse had lost its spine, replaced by a "vine spine" made of several strands of vines.The length, diameter, and curvature of this vine vertebra are equivalent to those of a human spine, and it perfectly fits into the gap left by these corpses after losing their spines.

Many vines as thin as hair spread out from this vine vertebrae, crawling all over the body of the corpse along the direction of the bones, especially at those joints, a large number of vines entangled and piled up, and some even directly The bone was pierced, and the two bones were connected together in series.

"It turns out that these are used to replace ligaments and muscles...the principle of action should be similar to the walker mechs I encountered before." After figuring out the reason for the movement of these corpses, Ivan suddenly felt less interested. The only trace of fear in my heart disappeared.

Only things that cannot be explained by science can scare him. As for those monsters that can be explained by science, Ivan only wants to tie them to the dissecting table.

He picked up the gun, aimed at the "spine" of the corpse closest to him, and pulled the trigger.

The needle-shaped electromagnetic bullet fired by the Gauss rifle easily broke the replacement spine made of several strands of vines, and the corpse fell to the ground like a puppet whose string was cut suddenly, without moving.

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief—a problem that can be solved with a gun is not a problem at all.

But in the next second, Ivan's relaxed expression became serious again.

Hundreds of tiny tendrils grew from the section of the rattan vertebrae, reconnecting the broken rattan vertebrae in two. The corpse that had been thrown to the street trembled like an electric shock, and slowly got up from the ground.

At the same time, the corpses that came down from the other misty perches also approached, surrounding Ivan in the middle.

"There is also the ability to regenerate... This is a bit tricky..."

Ivan took a half step back, glanced at the display screen on the side of the Gauss rifle and the gear used to hang the drum on his waist.

The screen shows that the number of remaining ammunition in the gun chamber is 39, and there are still three large-capacity magazines hanging on the harness that can hold a hundred rounds of electromagnetic bombs. But there are still four yuan, he doesn't have to think about the energy issue at all until the bullets run out.

And there are a total of 46 "resurrected" corpses in front of him... No, counting the one that was "beaten to death" just now, it should be 47.The ammunition in Ivan's hands alone is enough to kill every corpse more than seven times.

But the problem is that even if these corpses are killed seven times, ten times or even more times, as long as the "vine spine" is not crushed into powder, they can be resurrected infinitely.

This is like the dilemma that the protagonist often encounters in the early stages of common zombie movies-ordinary zombies are easy to kill, as long as they can be hit in the head with a bullet, a well-trained armed team can easily slaughter hundreds of zombies. Thousands of slow-moving zombies.

But before the emergence of zombies with special abilities, the biggest pressure people face in zombie movies is not the individual combat effectiveness of zombies, but their number.

What's the use of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of zombies in a short period of time before facing the tide of corpses transformed by the entire city's people?
The bullets will run out sooner or later, the barrel will overheat if fired continuously, and the human physical strength will also be exhausted... But on the other hand, zombies have no pain, don't understand what fear is, and their number is almost endless... And even if they are killed Even with both legs, crawling on the ground with both hands, struggling to bite a living person... This is the most frightening thing about ordinary zombies.

The best way to deal with them is heavy firepower.

"Fear comes from insufficient firepower" This is the eternal truth in zombie movies. If the pistol is not enough, replace it with a machine gun. In addition to fear, there are ashes of zombies...

Even if there are no missiles, as long as there is an advanced tactical mech, it is enough to run amok among the corpses... In fact, it doesn't need to be too advanced, the walker mecha that has been eliminated by the Ark military is enough to crush those zombies Ordinary zombies in the movie.

But the problem is that Ivan doesn't have heavy artillery, missiles, or mechs...he only has a Gauss rifle with limited bullets.

And the 47 corpses in front of them can be regarded as "an infinite tide of corpses" before finding a way to prevent them from being resurrected.

Ivan reached into his backpack, and his fingertips touched several cold metal cylinders...

"Incendiary bombs... No, this thing doesn't work on them..." Before Ivan had time to be happy, the information he had read before setting off appeared in his mind, instantly extinguishing the joy he had just had.

The Mist Roost is not afraid of fire, otherwise the exploration of the Mist Forest would not have become so difficult.

The "vine spine" that controls these corpses is the same thing as the fog vine and the fog roost. Even the air-dropped napalm bombs can't take these things, and the thrown incendiary grenades are even more useless.

Unless it is directly turned into ashes with a weapon of the level of a plasma cannon... If it is burned with napalm alone, it may not be able to roast the vine vertebrae into charcoal after the fuel is exhausted.

"If only other people were here..." Ivan sighed, whether it's Ke Lan, Ze Luo, Asano Akira, 33, or Valentina who is driving the Blasphemer Mecha, they can deal with these people infinitely. The revived corpses have no pressure, but these ghost things just made him, the person with the lowest combat effectiveness in the whole team, bump into him...

"It seems that I can only be regarded as a drag..." Ivan sighed helplessly, opened the breathing mask, held the gun in one hand, grabbed the flagon with the other hand, and poured all the remaining liquid in the pot in one breath. All poured into the mouth.

"We can only fight with our backs." Ivan threw the silver-white metal jug on the ground and stomped it flat, "I just don't know how many shots from the Gauss rifle it takes to completely smash these rattan vertebrae...it's impossible if……"

He glanced at the dark grooves on the cyborg prosthesis that were inlaid with stalagmite fragments—as long as those stalagmite fragments were taken out, the uninhibited erosion seed cells would spread in a very short period of time, and he would also gain far more than normal Human power... only if he chooses to do so, he will never have a chance to turn back.

This has always been a hole card that Ivan has kept. Although he knows very well that the power of a Seed of Corrosion is not very strong, it is already the last hole card he can play.

"But maybe it would be better to end as a human being?" Ivan took another step back, leaning against the smooth and flat fog wall, "But I always feel a little unwilling..."

……

……

Deep in the foggy forest, the crash site of the "Genoa" high-speed support ship.

33 also looked bewildered - he didn't know why he only took a step back, but retreated into the wreckage of the battleship.

Logically speaking, that should be away from the wreckage of the battleship... Before it was shrouded in thick fog, there was an open space there.

"Could it be that some teleportation device was triggered?" 33 looked at the rusty and vine-covered cabin wall in front of him, and said to himself.

From a certain point of view, his luck is the best among the few people who were separated, because the others "woke up" in the open space, it was difficult to find the abnormal environment for a while, and they thought they were in the Near the wreckage of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate, and before it was covered by thick fog, it was impossible to distinguish the southeast from the north...but 33 was different. The first thing he saw after he "woke up" was a piece of metal with severe peeling paint The wall, the front and rear scene changes are too abrupt, which made him think "he was teleported here".

"But if there is a teleportation device, that girl Ze Luo should be able to sense the abnormalities in the space... Well, but it is also possible that the dense fog blocked her perception, which is not good... This forest is really It's very weird, Ke Lan and the others probably didn't expect that their cheats would fail one day..."

33 flipped his wrist, and several black Nino alloy flying blades flew out from the interlayer of the arm armor, circled around his wrist a few times, and flew back again.

His abilities were not affected, which made 33 feel much more at ease.

The first thing to figure out right now is where he was teleported.

Undoubtedly, this should be a certain cabin in the wreck of the battleship... and this cabin should be relatively inward, at least not yet affected by the fog.

"Maybe I should go out and find Ke Lan and the others... As long as I don't get into a fight, those monsters shouldn't be able to stop me..." 33 thought, "But if they are also teleported, the situation will be more troublesome... I If you leave the wreckage of the battleship, the teleportation device may be triggered again, and it is hard to say where it will be teleported the second time..."

The "Shaojiang Kai" frigate is at least familiar to him, and it is also a rare eye-catching landmark in the huge gray fog forest. When the battleship crashed and touched the ground, the bow arched into the ground, but it broke due to the impact The stern of the battleship stood up unexpectedly, and even part of it passed through the tree canopy and dense fog—as long as the Blasphemer mecha rose into the air, the location of the wreckage of the "Shaojiang Kai" frigate could be located.

Therefore, it is the wisest decision to stay inside the wreckage of the battleship and wait for Ke Lan and the others—after finding out that they have been teleported, they will definitely find a way to return to the wreckage of the battleship. They come to themselves.

"So, my luck doesn't sound too bad?" 33 scratched his head and said to himself.

33 glanced at the air monitoring data on the display screen of the mask, and found that the air in the cabin fully met the needs of human breathing, so he took off the breathing mask—although the stock of oxygen generator was sufficient, as a person with A veteran of the Field Corps with rich combat experience, 33 is well aware of the importance of supplies when fighting in the field.Abundance of supplies is not a reason to waste. It is possible to save a little bit. Sometimes, maybe it is this little bit saved that saved my life at a critical moment.

"I don't know when the fog will spread here...but maybe I can take advantage of this gap to explore this battleship first." 33 made up his mind—although Ke Lan and the others had already explored the "Shaojiang Reform" "The wreck of the frigate is gone, but it is only limited to the bridge part, and the other cabins on the battleship have not been visited yet.

"Perhaps... there may be some unexpected discoveries."

33 looked around the cabin he was in. This should be the smoking room on the battleship. The igniter and the trash box used to collect ash and cigarette butts were fixed on the bulkhead. Next to the trash box was a sunken cabinet. The cabinet Embedded inside are two bottles of handheld fire extinguishers.A large right-angle sofa that could seat seven or eight strong men was welded to the corner of the wall. The imitation leather covered on the surface of the sofa had been torn apart, exposing the yellowed sponge and rusty metal frame underneath.

The "Shaojiang Kai" frigate was in a state of combat when it crashed. At this time, no one would come to the smoking room. There should be no valuable clues in this place.

With this in mind, 33 walked out through the open hatch.

But as soon as he walked into the corridor, he made a new discovery—and it really was an "unexpected discovery".

The light of the flashlight shines on the door plate of the cabin opposite, and the word "toilet" is written in both Chinese and English on the door plate... There is no problem with this, but the problem lies in the small words below the door plate.

"Flying fish-class high-speed support ship Genoa."

"Fuck...here is the inside of another crashed battleship?"
