Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 800 Facing the Super Eclipse
"He...they are alive again!" Mo Jue exclaimed.

"Now, it should be called 'they'..." Ke Lan corrected, although there is no difference in the pronunciation of the two ta in Chinese.

"Should I fire them?"

"Well, help me stop them before I finish my homework." Ke Lan nodded.

"What did you say?!" Mo Jue glanced at Ke Lan who was still busy in disbelief...the number of wrecks in the bridge was double digits, and she was allowed to stop so many wrecks by herself. In her opinion, this request is somewhat overpowering.

"Don't worry, not every eclipse is as strong as the one 33 encountered. For example, Hruni, he basically has no combat effectiveness... Besides, I don't want you to kill them, as long as you can buy me a few minutes That's it." Ke Lan said.

"However, these few...uh, 'eclipse'..." Mo Jue paused for half a second before saying the unfamiliar and awkward term "eclipse", "It looks very different."

As she said, most of the corroded remains in the bridge are covered with hard cuticles and sharp bony spikes, and some of them are covered with powerful tentacles... plus It is no exaggeration to describe them as "both offensive and defensive" with the "vine armor" wrapped around them like power armor.

These guys were obviously mutated into... or, in other words, "transformed" into this form for the purpose of fighting.

In his busy schedule, Ke Lan raised his head and glanced at the few corpses that had landed on the ground, and said, "All of them have become specialized for combat... It seems that the situation is getting more and more difficult..."

Compared with when the two of them entered the bridge just now, the shape of these wrecks has undergone a huge change, but it is not known whether it is the gray mist forest or..."Him" that caused the changes to the wrecks.

If it is the latter, it means that "He" is probably looking at this place... Even if it is just a ray of light from one of "His"'s countless lines of sight, the development of the incident will be of great significance to Ke Lan and the others. would be disastrous.

But considering that the gaze of "His" will cause extremely serious erosion to all creatures receiving the gaze, and the mutation symptoms on Mo Jue have not shown any signs of aggravation yet, Ke Lan thinks the probability of the latter possibility should be very high. Small.

It's just... Can the form of the erosion be changed by relying on the foggy forest alone?

It would make sense if you just put a few "outer armors" on these ruins through vines, but it would be a bit unreasonable to let these "dead" ruins undergo secondary mutations.

The reason why these carcasses mutate from humans to this appearance is because they have received too much "taboo knowledge", which has caused their own erosion to break through the critical value. If the foggy forest can Prompting the erosion to undergo a second mutation, does that mean that the foggy forest can also use this method to make the erosion of a normal person break through the critical value in an instant?
For example, it's like forcing your head down and pouring those "taboo knowledge" into people's heads... Even if the instilled person actively closes his senses, he doesn't see, hear, or perceive everything around him , the level of erosion will soar uncontrollably.

But it doesn't seem to make sense - if the foggy forest really has this ability, the entire exploration team, except for Ke Lan, I'm afraid everyone else has already become a skeletal remains.The will of the forest has tried to kill them more than once. If it really has this kind of means, there is no reason not to use it.

From this point of view, either I misunderstood it from the beginning, or there are various conditions and restrictions that cannot directly affect living people like them.

Ke Lan divided his brain into two parts, one part was desperately invading the operating system of the central control computer of the "Genoa", the other part was frantically thinking about the reasons for the secondary mutation of these eclipses, and behind him, Mo Jue He had already wrestled with the few corroded corpses that were the first to break free from the shackles of the vines.

The target of these eclipses was very clear. As soon as they landed, they rushed towards Ke Lan. Mo Jue switched the bolt gun to the three-shot burst mode without hesitation, and then pulled the trigger.

Three crystal energy bombs the size of a baby's fist escaped, and landed in the middle of these wrecks in a blink of an eye.

The deafening explosion immediately resounded through the entire bridge.

The explosive power of the resonance of the three crystal energy bombs cannot be underestimated. Those few wreckages were directly blown away by the terrifying air waves, and smashed heavily on the distant wall...or to put it another way: they were embedded among the walls.

Although these corroded wrecks looked distressed, Mo Jue could tell that they hadn't suffered any substantial damage at all, and the three crystal energy bombs couldn't even tear off the rattan armor on them.

The reason why these wrecks were blown up was because the ground on which their limbs were clinging was torn apart. Otherwise, they could have remained motionless during the explosion, and even continued to charge forward...

"Even crystal energy bombs can't cause damage..." Mo Jue's heart sank, but the current situation did not leave her much room for thinking, so she could only choose to continue firing.

"Anyway, as long as I can hold these guys...Ke Lan and the others, they should have a way to deal with these...'monsters', right?" Even Mo Jue didn't notice her trust in Ke Lan and the group now. The level is already the same as that of her teammates who have been with her for many years. Compared with the mutual suspicion attitude when she first entered the forest, she can now completely trust her back to them.

It's just that the current situation is just reversed - it was Ke Lan who handed over his back to her.

Another three wreckages broke free from the vines that ran through their bodies, fell to the ground, and rushed over from Mo Jue's right side, forming a double-bread sandwich with the wreckages on the left that were blown up before and now made a comeback. Mo Jue suddenly felt a surge of pressure——

"How long will you have? I feel like I can't stop them for how long!" Mo Jue roared, she turned the muzzle of the bolter and blasted three crystal bombs in two directions.

The shock wave generated by the explosion of the crystal energy bomb can indeed suppress the erosion to a certain extent, but the premise is that the continuous firepower cannot be interrupted... and now only the last of the twelve crystal energy bombs in Mo Jue's hand is left. Three rounds were fired, and less than half a minute had passed.

Mo Jue picked up this bolter from the ground, and there is no supply such as spare magazines - weapons and ammunition of this level are locked in high-level weapon boxes, and even before obtaining the control authority of the battleship Ke Lan couldn't even open these weapon boxes.

Ze Luo could actually "pry" the lock of the weapon box with the space ability without triggering the self-destruct device of the weapon box, but before that, Ke Lan never thought that there would be explosive bombs in the future For things like guns.

Even the original shooter equipped with a bolt gun on the "Genoa" rarely carried a spare magazine-generally speaking, only one to three crystal energy bombs were needed to solve the problem, and if ten If two rounds of crystal energy bombs can't solve the problem, then twelve more rounds often won't help.

"I'm out of ammo." Mo Jue said to Ke Lan after firing the last three crystal bombs.

"Give me another 3 minutes!" Ke Lan's finger on the keyboard even has an afterimage. Fortunately, he is using a high-sensitivity military-grade virtual keyboard. He couldn't keep up with a third of his typing speed.

"But I'm out of ammo!" Mo Jue emphasized again, she is really out of ammunition now, not only the crystal energy bombs are all used up, but also her own TAC-50 anti-material sniper rifle He also lost it, and the only firearm left on his body was a large-caliber pistol on his waist for self-defense... But this thing can't hurt the carcasses, it can't even hinder their actions.

"2 minutes!!" Ke Lan gritted his teeth and shouted. Although the vines used "physical hacking" to gain control of the central control computer, they obviously didn't know how to set up defensive measures to deal with Ke Lan's attack. It's still just that the central control computer of the "Genoa" originally had those security measures.

There are a total of six firewalls, and Ke Lan has already broken through four of them. Almost 70.00% of the computer virus he wrote has been uploaded. The entire central control computer's defense line is in a precarious state... the dawn of victory is just around the corner.

Ke Lan can't stop now. While cracking the firewall, he must constantly modify the code of the virus program so that the central control computer cannot recognize the virus program—once he stops, the virus that stops mutating will be safe. Program lock, followed by isolation, deletion...

Then all his efforts just now will be in vain, and the difficulty of the next invasion will increase exponentially.

"The last firewall is left!" Ke Lan roared. Although the temperature inside the bridge is now close to zero, the huge beads of sweat on his forehead are still oozing out, dripping down the ground along his cheeks and jaw, " The sound of clack clack can be heard clearly.

Mo Jue turned her head and glanced at Ke Lan. When she turned her head back, the nearest corroded wreck had already rushed forward. The other party raised two arms full of bony spikes and slapped her down hard. .

"Ugh—!"

Mo Jue let out a low growl, and the only four propellers in this set of operational power armor were all released from the limit valves in an instant, soaring to the state of overload, and the exhaust flames suddenly turned into the original More than twice as much——and under the blessing of this explosive force, Mo Jue slammed into the arms of this eclipse!
She pushed the arm armor of her left hand to the front. This is the part of this set of power armor with the highest Nino alloy content besides the spine and feet. , it will not be able to pierce this arm armor for a while.

With his right hand, Mo Jue pulled out the large-caliber pistol at his waist, pressed the muzzle against the chest of the wreck, and pulled the trigger repeatedly at zero distance. Terrible recoil was continuously transmitted from the handle, although the power The armor could counteract this backward momentum, but the palm that was in direct contact with the handle of the pistol was completely numb from the shock, and blood flowed everywhere from the torn tiger's mouth.

Mo Jue could feel that the bullet she shot had successfully penetrated into the chest of the erosion, and the power from her left arm had been significantly weakened, which made her happy: These monsters...seem to be impossible to kill of……

But in the next second, there was a burst of burning pain from her back—the arms of this corroded carcass were folded at an angle completely opposite to that of human joints, and a bone spur more than ten centimeters long clinged to it. Mo Jue's back was plowed, and those places that were not protected by the power armor were instantly torn apart, and some places with deep wounds could even see the white bones...

Mo Jue felt as if blood was pouring into her trachea, which made her cough violently, but as soon as she coughed, the situation immediately became worse: the cough shattered the closed wound, making more A lot of blood poured into the respiratory tract...

At the same time, the dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen continued to hit her brain, she couldn't help but staggered, and was immediately crushed to the ground by the corroded carcass in front of her.

She felt that she would faint at any time, but the instinct of survival was forcing Mo Jue's brain to stay awake. At this critical moment, she first locked the movable joints of the power armor, turning it into a hard metal frame , and then opened the quick release lock on the side of the armor, turned over, and rolled out of the frame of the power armor.

It was a beautiful move of "Golden Cicada Escapes its Shell", but Mo Jue didn't have time to appreciate her operation at all, the blood was continuously pouring out of her nostrils and mouth... If her judgment was correct, her two The lungs have all been punctured.

This kind of injury is fatal... If you want to survive, you must immediately send it to the medical warehouse for treatment...

But here, the only place with a medical warehouse is the infirmary on the ship, but if you want to open the door of the infirmary, activate the medical warehouse and a series of supporting medical equipment, you must first regain control of the battleship from the gray fog forest right.

After going around for half a circle, I finally returned to the original point.

Mo Jue didn't ask Ke Lan how long it would take, she couldn't speak anymore, foamy blood foam kept overflowing from the corner of her mouth... She stumbled back a few steps, leaned her back against a railing, stretched out her hand Put it in the first aid kit on your waist.

She didn't bother to look at what she felt, anyway, as long as her finger touched a syringe, she would feel it out and stick it on her body. After five or six needles, there was finally a strong force from the heart. It burst out, and Mo Jue, who was already in a dying state, woke up again.

She didn't know whether it was the medicine that had played a role, or her body was in a state of "reflection"... But in any case, the already dilapidated body seemed to be recovering rapidly, and she could even feel the granulation growing rapidly from the wound Come out and fill those gaps.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear a voice whispering in her ears... She couldn't understand this language at all, but she could feel an extremely familiar breath...
