Alien Relic Hunter

80 Speed ​​Up

"...I am..."

He scolded in his heart, but Ke Lan did not take any action. He knew that at such a critical moment, the less he could act rashly.

He must not show any strangeness, otherwise, this "cat and mouse" game will probably end immediately... It is still too far from the exit, even if the power of the propellers is all pulled to the level of overload, he will not have a trace of it. Half a centimeter chance to rush out.

There is only one chance, and it must be done when there is enough grasp...

……

In these long ten minutes, the tentacles of the fusion body have been at peace with Ke Lan, and Ke Lan completely pretended not to find these tentacles... But the distance between the two sides has never been opened, Ke Lan Lan has also been shrouded in the attack range of these tentacles.

According to the speed and time of the ascent, the exit of the abyss should be less than 100 meters above, and the last 100 meters is the key to life and death.

These tentacles will never let themselves swim out just like that. At the last moment, they will definitely drag themselves into the abyss again - making the prey give great despair when they think they are about to be safe. This is the evil of that monster. taste.

If the Alpha star hadn't talked nonsense, the fusion body dormant in the deepest part of the hatchery could be considered an intelligent creature. It seems that the biology textbook on the ark needs to undergo a large-scale revision and change...

In addition to humans, the second type of intelligent creatures that exist on this planet... From any point of view, it is not good news for humans.

For Ke Lan, it is even more so.

If the opponent is a beast whose actions are driven entirely by biological instinct, Ke Lan's escape rate may be higher, but if it is replaced by an intelligent creature with sound thinking ability, the difficulty will be completely different.

Ke Lan did some calculations. If the propellers are turned to the maximum without considering the damage to the motor, they should be able to rush out a distance of about 20 meters in two to three seconds—compared with the speed of the fusion body, this It was far from enough, he had to increase this speed by at least three times to be able to break out of this cage made of tentacles.

Have to figure out another way...

The closer to the exit, the higher the probability of the fusion body launching an attack, and Ke Lan can't be sure of the thing's thoughts... But in other words, the closer to the exit, the greater the chance that he can rush out of the abyss...

This is a game of increasing risk and winning rate year-on-year, just like a card game called "Blackjack". If you want to win, you must make your hand as close to 21 as possible, but not more Points—Once exceeded, it will be judged as "Burst", and the bet will be lost directly.

Just as Ke Lan had to get as close to the exit as possible, but couldn't break through the bottom line of the fusion body's desire to attack, he had to seize that fleeting moment and put all his bets on it!

"Keep calm, you must keep calm..." Ke Lan kept saying to himself in his heart, the safety lock of the thruster has been released, just press the button, and the converter will inject the energy in the crystal into the motor at the maximum rate. Increase the speed of the blades to the limit.

"It's not time yet..."

Although it was still pitch black all around, Ke Lan knew that less than 30 meters directly above him was the exit of the abyss...

However, the distance is not enough...

Moreover, relying on the power of the propeller alone, I am afraid that the speed cannot be increased to that level-for the fusion body, the resistance of the water in the deep sea seems to be completely non-existent, and it only takes a second for its tentacles. Can catch Collan.

"And the last 20 meters."

Ke Lan held her breath, the tentacles that were close at hand could come from the darkness at any time, and by then, it would be too late.

"19 meters... 18 meters..."

"15 meters..."

Ke Lan felt like he was trudging through a minefield. Every meter he floated up was equivalent to taking a step forward.

But he can't stop, he can't stop either...

"14 meters... 13 meters..."

Enough is enough, now! !
Ke Lan pressed the button, and after a short pause, the paddle spun frantically at several times the speed, leading Ke Lan straight to the exit!

The motor was beeping overwhelmed, and this level of overload would cause irreversible damage, but for now, at least it was enough to let him escape—

The tentacles of the fusion body also moved, and they chased Ke Lan at a faster speed. The front end of each tentacle split apart, and thousands of tentacles shot out like arrows!

"No! The speed is not enough!" Almost in a breath, Ke Lan realized that he would be caught by the tentacles before rushing out of the abyss. In perfect condition, he couldn't get rid of it either.

But Ke Lan still has the last hole card!
He pulled the trigger, and the "Vortex I" torpedo in the barrel was fired - but the target of the torpedo was not the fusion tentacle below, but the exit above Ke Lan's head!

The moment the torpedo left the barrel, the metal hook on the hand of the diving suit was firmly fastened on it. The "Vortex I" torpedo uses a jet crystal engine, and it only takes [-] to complete the acceleration process. In a second, Ke Lan only felt a pulling force strong enough to tear his arms from the torpedo, and in the next second, he had already rushed out of the abyss!
"Boom!!"

The dull collision sound came from behind, and the tentacles of the fusion body had smashed through the metal mesh above the abyss, and continued to chase after them. The distance between the two sides was gradually narrowing!

"It will be troublesome if you chase it out..."

Ke Lan originally thought that the fusion body was "trapped" in the abyss hatchery, but now it seems that the hatchery is just a shelter for it.

Perhaps it was because of the alienated larvae in the egg shells that the fusion body did not leave the nest, but if it was provoked, then everything would be hard to say...

The jet engine consumes a lot of energy, and the crystal energy built into the torpedo will soon bottom out. Ke Lan had to launch a second torpedo, but he still failed to get rid of the tentacles that were in hot pursuit... …

"This thing is too persistent..." Ke Lan hugged the torpedo with one hand, while the other hand threw a series of specially made incendiary bombs to the rear. A second later, a wall of fire several meters wide was behind him. It exploded, blocking those tentacles.

Incendiary bombs are ineffective against the body of the fusion body, but they still have a good effect on these derived tentacles, which has been confirmed under the abyss.

The wall of fire helped Ke Lan gain nearly ten seconds. Following the beam of light from the searchlight, Ke Lan had already seen the edge of this submarine plateau.

Not far!
