Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 822 Everything...is going according to plan

At this time, the Hound and the others had already arrived at the "deck" of Yagunaktor through the teleportation device. The first second he saw the mass-produced fallen angels, the Hound felt a chill in his heart—he knew Ke Lan's private actions might annoy some members of the undead crew, but he never expected that the undead crew would dispatch such a powerful fleet to "retaliate".

"What should we do?" Layton's anxious expression overflowed his words, "If the undead crew members are determined to mess with us, even if we destroy this fleet, it will be useless... What's more, with the current situation, I'm afraid zero It is only a matter of time before the fleet is wiped out."

"It's a pity that Ke Lan is not here." Zhuo Ligetu rubbed his huge fist vigorously, "If Ke Lan is here and can activate the 'Yagunaktor', the winner is uncertain— —”

"If Ke Lan was here, the undead crew would not attack us at all." The hound interrupted the Mongolian man, "But the thing is back... If the undead crew just wanted to 'retaliate', why did they attack Zero? What about the No. [-] Fleet? The No. [-] Fleet is also the 'property' of the Ark - now because of Alexander, the Ark is in a very difficult period, there is no reason for such internal friction..."

"After all, the mission of the Zero Fleet is to protect Yagunaktor..." Before Layton finished speaking, he was kicked by the hound on the ass.

"Idiot! The task of protecting Yagunaktor of the Zero Fleet is given to them by the undead crew. The crew can naturally withdraw the task or simply change the content of the task, even if the Zero Fleet turns around and attacks us. ...With Ke Lan not around, the commander of Fleet Zero has no possibility of disobedience."

"That's true...then why?" Layton also reacted to what the hound said, and looked at the distant battlefield with a puzzled expression.

"Maybe this is a 'show'." For some reason, Zofia also walked on the deck, "Just like the ruins of the ancient bronze city, the undead crew will know that it is a trap, but they will still send 100,000 people The troops were sent in... That time, their purpose was to cover up the fact that the second batch of replicants were approaching their lifespan, but this time..."

"Could it be that the No. 40 Fleet is also a force made up of replicants?" Layton was stunned for a moment. The elites selected from each army are either veterans and excellent technicians who are over 40 years old, or young adults who are 30 to [-] years old... The former must be natural persons, and the latter, even if they are all replicants, the distance between The 'useful life' is still a long time, right?"

"It shouldn't be the reason." The hound shook his head.

"Why is that?" Layton asked.

"Ask me, who am I asking?" The hound kicked Layton again angrily. Anyway, even the biological part of this big guy is very solid, and he doesn't feel any pain at all.

"But then again, I think Missy might be on point." The Hound continued, "This mysterious black fleet must be heading for us or 'Yagunaktor', but The undead crew did not inform Fleet Zero in advance, and now the two fleets are fighting... They can't make such a low-level mistake. To be honest, I also feel that this black fleet is 'acting'. "

"But the problem is that the loss of Fleet Zero is real!" Layton said anxiously, "The ones that were shot down were not drones! The pilots on it didn't even have the chance to parachute... Those are all They are elites mobilized from various units, do you know how much time and resources it takes to train such a pilot?"

"Find a way to contact the commander of Fleet Zero and let them withdraw from the battlefield." After thinking for a while, the hound said.

"What?" Zhuoligetu turned his head to look at him in surprise, "What is the purpose of doing this?"

"It's a test. I want to test whether this mysterious fleet really wants to destroy the Zero Fleet, or has other plans..." the hound said in a deep voice.

……

In the core area of ​​the foggy forest, Tongtian Tower, the "second floor".

In addition to the scene of the battle between the Zero Fleet and the Black Fleet, Ke Lan and the others also saw the Hound and others walking onto the deck.Except for Layton who was wearing something that looked like power armor, the others were all wrapped in thick military overcoats. Even Zofia, who always pays attention to clothing, also wore a cold-proof jacket that looked a little bulky. Clothes.

The hovering altitude of Yagunaktor is 500 meters above sea level. Although it is protected by an energy shield, the wind, snow and high-altitude air currents cannot invade the deck, but the temperature of the deck remains the same as that of the outside world, probably At minus more than 60 degrees Celsius, it won't take long for a glass of water to freeze and burst when it's brought out on deck.

Although the entrances and exits of the transmission channel are equipped with temperature control devices, they can barely heat a small area to about zero degrees. After all, warships flying at high altitudes do not have exposed decks like ships. It is also for mecha stations instead of humans.

Ke Lan tried to focus on the hounds and the others, and the projected image suddenly zoomed in and out as if being dragged by a few invisible fingers. The accuracy of the picture was so high that Ke Lan could even clearly see the hot breath exhaled by the hounds when they spoke. It condensed into a thin sheet of hoarfrost on his stubble, and then melted into drops of water and slid down...

If Ke Lan still doubted the authenticity of this video before, he can basically be sure now that this is a real event that is happening now in all likelihood—as for how Yagunaktor found himself This is not important anymore, there are so many secrets and unreasonable things on this ship that Ke Lan has become a little numb.

There are too many lice and it doesn't itch, that's probably what it means...

In addition to the screen, the sound of the projection can also be transmitted. Naturally, he can hear the conversation between the hounds and the others clearly—assuming that he is located in Yagunaktor instead of in the Tongtian Tower at the moment, facing the same In other words, he should have made the same choice as the bloodhound: let the Zero Fleet withdraw from the battlefield first.

For the officers and soldiers of the No. [-] Fleet, this battle was a disaster for no reason. Even if they fought at the last moment, nothing could be changed at all... Their battles, their sacrifices...are actually meaningless.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Undead Crew, human lives are just numbers, but to Ke Lan, these soldiers are all living lives, and they have their own lives... But as the distant battlefield blooms, The inconspicuous "fireworks" in front of each other, one after another life is coming to an abrupt end.

Ke Lan naturally understands the truth of "compassion does not command soldiers", but he absolutely cannot accept unnecessary sacrifices.

These soldiers who died in battle may not know where the enemy they are facing comes from and what is the reason for this battle until the moment before death.

Seeing the hunting dog contact the fleet commander on the "New Dawn" through laser communication, Ke Lan's heart suddenly moved. He tried to shout to the projection screen: "Old dog, can you hear my voice?"

After he yelled this sentence, the bodies of the hound and others in the picture froze obviously, and then several people raised their heads and looked around in surprise.

"Who is it? Whose voice is it? Is it Ke Lan?" The hound asked in surprise, "Is it Ke Lan who just spoke?"

"It's me." Ke Lan replied in Tongtian Tower.

"Damn it, where are you now? Have you come back?" the hound hurriedly asked.

"No... I'm still in the foggy forest. I've successfully reached the core of the forest and discovered the remains of an Alpha civilization and... and some unbelievable things. I'll talk about these later, as long as you You know, in the process of exploring this ruins, we suddenly received a message that Yaguna Ketor was under attack, and then I successfully established a connection with Yaguna Ketor, allowing me to directly communicate with You communicate."

"Are you still in the ruins of the foggy forest? Wait a minute... You said that the connection with Yagunaktor can be reached from such a distance? Then can you see the situation on our side? ?”

"Yes. I can see everything." Ke Lan gave a definite answer.

"That's good, I won't waste time talking nonsense with you." The hound said saliva—even though the saliva from his mouth was frozen into ice before it hit the ground, "The mysterious black fleet, I can basically be sure that the undead crew will send them over. The mass-produced fallen angels are clearly showing their identities. Although I don't know why the No. It's too late, I'll let them withdraw from the battlefield first."

"Well, since the goal of this fleet is Yagunaktor, there is no need for the Zero Fleet to make a fearless sacrifice." Ke Lan said.

"By the way, can you control Yaguna Ketor remotely?" Layton also said, "I was worried that we would not be able to control Yaguna Ketor and would be beaten passively. Now that you can control Yaguna Ketor But if Thor establishes a connection, then the control of the battleship should also be obtained, right?"

"Let me try, you go back to the inside of the battleship first, it is the safest place." Ke Lan said.

Most of the weapons carried on Yagunaktor are in an unusable state, but even if this "ancient warship" is not equipped with any weapons, it can already be regarded as a piece of equipment based on its mass, volume and speed. A big killer with unparalleled destructive power - Ke Lan didn't have to do anything, just drive the battleship directly into the formation of the black fleet.

"Okay! Remember not to show mercy, since the undead crew will tear us apart, there is no need for us to hold back!" After saying this, the hound's figure disappeared directly at the entrance of the transmission channel.

Then came Layton, Zoligetu, Zofia, and others. The soldiers stationed on the outer deck of Yagunaktor also hid in the interior of the battleship after receiving the order of the hound. The huge deck was like an island in the sky. There are only a dozen modular houses and a material storage yard with several tower cranes left on the ground. Even the containers that were originally placed on the storage yard have been transported to Yagunaco by the soldiers in no time. Thor's interior.

Ke Lan zoomed out the picture again through his thoughts, and shifted the camera to the battlefield in another direction: After receiving the retreat order issued by the hound in the name of Ke Lan, the Zero Fleet did not insist, but was on the ship. Under the cover of artillery fire, he slowly retreated to the side and rear.The flagship "New Dawn" was the last one to move, and this "Gangfeng-class" aircraft carrier battleship was responsible for the rear mission and most of the enemy fleet's firepower.

Something that surprised Ke Lan but was not unexpected happened: the Black Fleet did not pursue those retreating warships, and even when the Zero Fleet expressed its intention to withdraw from the battlefield, even the frontal gun firepower was faintly reduced After a while, the mass-produced Fallen Angels that hunted down the air combat units of the Zero Fleet in the combat airspace also all returned to the Black Fleet's fleet.

"So it seems... it's really acting, and who is this scene being played for? Me?" Ke Lan muttered inwardly.

According to the retreat route of the Zero Fleet, they will slowly withdraw from the battlefield in two directions, exposing the "Yagunaktor" that remains in place in front of the Black Fleet—if such a description does not have a sense of picture , you can imagine a zipper, the zipper head remains in its original position, and you pinch the chain teeth above the zipper head with your fingers and pull it to both sides.

The zipper pull is "Yagunaktor", and the chain teeth that are separated and receded are the battleships of the Zero Fleet.

……

Noah's Ark, core area, secret room.

"The 'feint attack' stage has been successful, and Yagunaktor's automatic defense mechanism has been activated." A voice sounded in the darkness, "Counting the time, the 'New Pope' should have climbed to the first floor of the Babel Tower by now." It's on the second floor, and I don't know which thing has a greater impact on him than Yagunaktor's secret?"

"You seem to have underestimated his mental capacity." Another voice said, "Since he will choose to explore the secrets hidden in the gray mist forest in private, he must have noticed something, maybe he has already After guessing the truth, we just need a proof...Compared to him, it took us a lot of time to digest the so-called 'truth'."

"In any case, everything is still going according to plan... At least there are no deviations at present."

"But I still don't understand why the Fool asked us to carry out this plan, and the significance of doing so...he never told me."

"Aren't you going to ask him?"

"I asked, but I didn't get any response." The second voice sighed, "If he hadn't appeared during the voting, I even suspect that he is still asleep and has not woken up."
