Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 851 The Second Batch of People Who Entered the Water

Yeager was also thinking about this question—as a senior air force pilot, he had participated in no fewer than a hundred battles, but this was really the first time that he went deep into the deep sea.

In Yeger’s memory, he fought with native aquatic creatures. It was six years ago that a Chinese expedition team was attacked by a “one-eyed shark” that lived in shallow seas, and sent a signal to the military for help. .At that time, Yeager's fighter formation happened to be conducting long-distance flight training in the nearby airspace, and the rescue mission was naturally assigned to them and became part of the training content.

But that rescue was hardly a battle...it was more like a massacre.Those "one-eyed sharks" are not much different from the sharks on the earth except for their larger size and greater strength. The 25mm cannon of the fighter jets just stick to the water surface and sweep them all the way. The dense shark group makes the machine Teachers don't have to consider the hit rate at all.Flying back and forth a few times, the entire sea surface has been dyed dark red, and there are bloody and mutilated one-eye shark corpses floating everywhere.

Oh, by the way, the other most significant difference between these monocular sharks and the sharks on the earth is not the number of eyes, but the density of the body - the sharks on the earth do not have a swim bladder, and they can float in the water entirely by their own muscles Power, if a shark dies and its body stops moving, its body will not float on the water, but will slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

"When a whale dies, it's called whale fall... What should a shark be called when it dies? Shark wither? Shark fall?...Sand sculpture?" Thinking of this, Yegel couldn't help laughing, even the nervousness that was about to set off followed. Eliminated a lot.

"Zokok Kai" has already reached the transmission channel, and if he takes another step forward, he will be transported to the deep sea outside.

When his line of sight came into contact with the chaos at the entrance of the transmission channel, the tension that had just subsided in Yegel's heart suddenly filled up again. The invisible pressure made him feel like he was wearing a heavy bag around his neck. Like the shackles of a person, it takes a lot of effort to even raise his head to look at the several heads-up displays above.

Yeager took several deep breaths in a row, then turned to look at Wilson who was aside.

He is obviously just a fitter, and even if he has served in the army, he is probably in a non-combat position in logistics. If he has an armored driver's license, he probably has never participated in actual combat... But at this moment, the expression on Wilson's face, But it was much calmer than Yeager, a seasoned veteran.

His breathing is steady, his facial muscles are relaxed, and his hands are lightly resting on the horizontal keyboard on his knees. He is as calm as a commuter who goes out to drive every morning, instead of driving a car that has not been tested. Mecha goes to the seabed 3000 meters deep to find unknown monsters to fight.

Wilson's eyes were fixed on the screen directly in front of him, and the reflection of the screen flickered in his pupils... Yegel seemed to vaguely see some strange tiny light spots in the other's pupils, but these light spots were fleeting, and Yegel Gale just blinked and they were gone.

There is no such point of light on the screen, so it cannot be a reflection... Is it my own illusion?Just misread it?
Yegel murmured in his heart, but as a fighter pilot, he has absolute confidence in his eyes. People who can be selected as pilots have far stronger dynamic vision and instant capture ability than ordinary people, let alone Yeger He has undergone two enhancement surgeries on his own eyes. Although the enhancements are not large, he can still be regarded as an enhanced person with specialized eyesight.

Yegel rubbed his eyes, and once again fixed his eyes to see, but those strange tiny light spots never appeared again.

The cockpit of "Zokok Kai" is completely sealed, except for the screen and the indicator lights on the console, there are no other light sources here. These bald heads cannot be reflections of other things... That time What's the matter?

Is it really because I am too tired, so I have hallucinations?

Just when Yegel was thinking this way, Wilson had already noticed his gaze, turned his head and looked at him and said, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"No..." Yegel shook his head slightly, "I just think your eyes seem a little strange."

Although it seems a little impolite to say so, Yeager's cautious character coupled with a slight symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder made him decide that it would be better to ask the question clearly... Otherwise, he always felt that there was a stone in his heart that he couldn't let go of. down.

"Are you talking about this eye?" Wilson pointed to his left eye—Zokok's cockpit adopts a "left-hand drive" layout, and the co-pilot's seat is on the right side of the main driver. It was Wilson's left eye that I saw those dots of light just now.

"……Um."

"Oh, it's just a cyborg prosthetic eye." As if to verify Wilson's words, the pupil of his left eye dilated and shrunk twice extremely quickly, as if the monitor camera was adjusting the focus.

"It's a prosthetic eye..." I don't know why, Yegel felt relieved, "Is it because of an accidental injury, or some disease? I just changed the prosthetic eye?"

"Neither, there was nothing wrong with my eyeball at first, but I only installed it for work needs." A trace of emotion could be heard in Wilson's voice, the screen in front of him just cut to black screen, and most of his face was gone. Then it disappeared into the shadows, making Yegel unable to see his expression at the moment, "In many cases, the original parts of the human body are not as convenient as these technological creations."

"Haha, that's what I said, but I always feel that the maintenance of the prosthetic body is quite troublesome, and such a small-sized implanted prosthesis that is directly connected to the nerves should require regular injections of immunosuppressants, right? ...Forget it.” Yegel laughed dryly, intending to end the topic, “By the way, you don’t seem to be nervous at all? You have a good mental quality, have you ever been in the army before? "

"No." Wilson whispered, "Nervousness... has no effect except to bring negative effects on oneself."

"Uh..." Yegel choked for a moment, and immediately didn't know how to answer the conversation.

This big brother seems to be easy to get along with, how can he talk to the sky with a few words?
At this time, the logistics personnel standing on both sides of "Zokok Kai" had already released all the external connecting pipelines of the mecha, and retreated to the sides. A logistics personnel vigorously waved his light stick to signal Yegel and Wilson Ready to go anytime.

"Please... we must find the deep submersible, find the old dog and the others." Layton's voice came from the earphones, "Although I know that the hope is very slim...but I can only pin my hope on you guys .”

"I can only say that I will try my best." Yeager responded, and then moved the joystick forward.

The body then stepped into chaos.

After that familiar and unfamiliar state between weightlessness and freezing, Yegel felt like a drowning person suddenly broke through the water, and broke free from the extremely short-term blurred state of consciousness after the teleportation ——However, the machine he was driving began to slowly fall downwards.

In order to ensure the strength of the body, "Zokok Kai" does not have a drainage tank, and the buoyancy is completely provided by the propeller. If the propeller is not activated, it will only be like a big iron lump, heading straight to the bottom of the sea sink.

"This is Zukok Kai, No. [-] pilot, Yegel." Yeager reported to the communicator, "The body has left the transmission channel and entered the middle sea area, and is approaching the seabed."

"Received." Layton's reply came over immediately - the communication signal strength between the mech and Yagunaktor was full, Layton's voice was very clear, and the slight current noise in the communication channel was completely Can be ignored.Of course, this is only because they are not far away from Yagunaktor. Once the distance exceeds 300 meters, both radio communication and laser communication will fail. Only the sound wave communication device can maintain contact at this distance.

But the sound wave communication device has a very fatal problem, it is very easy to be interfered, intercepted or even "tampered with"... Yeager once saw a story on the Internet, when a team of hunters was exploring the ruins, because the ruins There is strong electromagnetic interference inside, so what they carry is ultrasonic communication equipment.During the exploration process, two hunters disappeared, but their communication was not interrupted, and they called for help in the communication channel over and over again... When the rest of the people found their crushed bodies, the communication in the communication device The cries for help still did not stop.

Later, after the research of the scholars accompanying the team, it was discovered that the wall of the ruins has the function of absorbing sound waves and releasing them again, so the distress signal they sent out was repeated over and over again like a recording.

Fortunately, it was just repeating the dead man's cries for help... If the ruins had some kind of intelligent mechanism, changing the distress signal into a wrong guide to lure the rest of the people into a trap, maybe the whole team would be wiped out.

"Damn it!" Yegel cursed secretly, "Why would I want to do such a thing at this time, scare myself."

But the more he said that, the easier it was for all kinds of weird stories he had heard about exploring the ruins to appear in his mind.

"...It seems that being a relic hunter is not so easy... To be honest, I would rather fight those ferocious native creatures than grope my way through tunnels like ancient tombs." Yege Er tried to adjust his emotions and let his heart rate slow down as much as possible.

He glanced at his vital signs monitor and took several deep breaths before his heart rate barely dropped from 110 to [-]. Wilson, who was sitting next to him, was like an emotionless bionic robot Similarly, the heart rate has always been maintained at a level of around [-], without any major fluctuations at all.

"This buddy... his psychological quality is a bit against the sky..."

"Colonel Yeager, I have synchronized with you the last coordinate position when the deep submersible disappeared and the coordinate position of the suspected 'Fang IV' torpedo explosion point. Your task is to search for these two coordinates first. Then expand the search to the area between those two points," Layton said.

"The first mission goal, agree, the second mission goal, reject." Yegel hadn't spoken yet, but Wilson was the first to reject Layton's order.

"What's the matter? Do you have any objections?" Layton was not angry, but asked Wilson sincerely.

"If the deep submersible is involved in the impact of the 'Fang IV' torpedo explosion, it should move in the opposite direction of the explosion center. It is recommended to connect the disappearance coordinates of the deep submersible with the center point of the torpedo explosion, and then move to Draw a three-kilometer extension line on the outside, take the extension line as the reference axis, and use the 180-degree sector area on the reference axis as the third priority search target." Wilson explained.

"This guy... has a very meticulous way of thinking." Yegel nodded secretly, thinking to himself, "In this environment, he can still analyze so calmly and point out the mistakes in the superior's instructions... This guy, even if he doesn't If you join the army in this line of work, you will definitely become an excellent commander...Gold shines everywhere."

Layton was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about what Wilson said. A few seconds later, Layton's voice sounded again: "You are right, then follow what you said and connect the two points. The extended fan area of ​​the extension line of the line is the third priority search target."

"Got it." Yeager's Wilson responded at the same time.

Accompanied by a slight vibration, "Zokok Kai" landed steadily on the streets of the undersea city, and began to move towards the "priority coordinates", that is, before the signal of the deep submersible that Hound and others took disappeared. , go to the place where it last appeared.

The deep submersible carried by Hound and others headed for the pyramid in the undersea city at first, and the location where it disappeared was less than one kilometer away from the pyramid.Yeger had heard from the reserve hunters of the Hunting God Hunting Group for a long time. According to the discussion, the pyramid was probably something like an altar or a mausoleum. For some reason, Yeger subconsciously thought about the "altar" The two buildings, the Mausoleum and the Mausoleum, are particularly resistant.

But he also felt that the disappearance of the deep submersible might have an inseparable relationship with this submarine pyramid.

"The sonar detected that there are large targets approaching rapidly at three o'clock, four o'clock and twelve o'clock, 600 meters... No, only 400 meters are left, so fast!" Yegel's mood has not yet calmed down When they got down, they were hoisted again by the siren. On the sonar image, there were more than a dozen light spots in front of the right, approaching them at an extremely fast speed!

"Don't panic!" Layton's voice sounded again, "Yagunaktor also found these targets, they are giant deep sea eels."
