Alien Relic Hunter

"It's useless to be prepared." The clown also climbed to the top of the tower, "In the face of absolute power, all means are meaningless."

"Are you so sure that the people sent by Zeus are here to kill us?" Soap whispered, "And, are they really that strong?"

"You will know after reading it." The clown didn't care about Soap's questioning, "But before the entire squad is wiped out, we must transfer in time."

"Why? Isn't it safe to be so far away?" Soap was a little puzzled.

"The research institute has a device that can spy on the memory of the human brain... Even if it is a dead person, the memory in the brain can be preserved for a period of time after death. If they find out that there are still people alive in this team, they will definitely have serious concerns about this area. If we conduct a blanket search in the area, or even send more people, it will become very difficult for us to leave here."

"Is there such a thing?" Soap asked in amazement, "Can a person dig out the memories of his life after death? Why does this thing sound more mysterious than Meng Po Tang?"

"I've heard of this kind of thing." Noir nodded slightly, "I've seen this kind of thing in an operation. That time, we got information in advance that a group of exiles under the control of a heretic sect were going to attack a group of At a remote transfer station, the field service corps and the agents of the Security Bureau jointly set up an ambush and wiped out the group of attackers. I saw people from the Security Bureau use that thing on living people... and soon dug out The location of their lair, and a counterattack plan was planned in less than half an hour. I was the pilot who flew the bomber to attack the settlement in the counterattack plan."

"It's also used on living people... I remember that when people die, don't brain cells die quickly?" Soap muttered, "Faced with a pile of rotting protein and fat, what can those machines find... ..."

"I don't know if that kind of equipment can be used on the dead, but the soldiers who stayed at the transfer station and were in charge of guarding the prisoners told me later that among the six people whose memories were 'searched', four died suddenly on the spot, and the remaining two were one." Crazy, a demented one... The damage to the brain from that thing is completely irreversible. When those electrodes are attached to a person's head, it's like inserting an egg beater into the brain and stirring up the brain frantically ...This description may be exaggerated, but it is said that during the 'interrogation process', one of the prisoners' nosebleeds even sprayed on the roof of the tent."

"I don't think it's cruel to use that kind of thing on heretic sects...but if it's used against our own people..." Soap shuddered and didn't continue.

To be honest, his impression of Simon is quite good. If possible, Soap still hopes that Simon can live——

"Did they find us?" Soap asked the clown in horror.

"Believe it or not, it's all up to you. You could choose to stay at that time. I gave you a chance."

"They...they seem to have broken through from the blockade?" Seeing the tragic state of the floating vehicle, Soap felt a little doubtful in his heart. Could it be that the other party was acting?But this is too realistic, right?According to the clown, if Zeus' people can really crush the squad with absolute strength, there is no need for them to act at all.

"Here we come!" Soap raised his hands, put the binoculars in front of his eyes, and looked towards the source of the voice.

"No...do you know why the eighth generation LVL was eliminated?"

"Normal body should not show this appearance in thermal infrared mode. If this is the case, the cooling device has already failed, and the overheating exploded!" Noir said, "It doesn't look like a mechanical creation...more , more like a living thing!"

"What does this mean?" Soap wondered, "Is it possible that the vehicles with advanced engines were damaged or put into the battlefield, so they can only drive this kind of tattered antique to join us? .”

"Then you can go back now, I won't stop you." The clown shrugged and said in an indifferent tone.

"What's wrong?" Hearing what Noir said, Soap immediately grabbed the binoculars and looked in the direction of the safe house.

"No...that body...it...you switch the telescope to thermal infrared mode! This...it's impossible!!" Noir suddenly exclaimed.

"Pay attention to the engine of that floating vehicle..." Noir reminded.

"Our specific location should not have been revealed." The clown shook his head, "But it doesn't mean much to them... These things will fill every corner of this block, swallowing everything they touch .”

"The Amran-class transport aircraft uses the No.11 generation LVL. The eighth generation LVL has long been eliminated. Only some civilian companies use second-hand parts to piece together the 'no-name assembly machine' that will use this engine. " Noir said, "No wonder I don't know the model of this floating vehicle, this is not a standard model vehicle at all."

"Are you wondering why that airborne vehicle can still fly?" Soap asked, "Could it be that they modified the engine? It looks like an eighth-generation shell on the outside, but the inside uses Is it the ninth generation, tenth generation or even a newer core?"

In the thermal infrared mode, the floating fighter in the distance is a crimson color block, and inside the color block, there are orange and yellow color blocks that represent higher temperatures.

"Don't you think your explanation is a little weak?" Soap said, "You told us so much before, but all of these are just your one-sided words. From my point of view, so far, everything Proceed as planned—except for you."

Those men in black didn't do it directly as Soap expected, but let Simon board the floating vehicle... Not long after, other people in the safe room also came out, and climbed into the floating vehicle one by one. Inside the cockpit of an empty vehicle.

"You...you bastard!" Soap cursed in a low voice, "If I go back now, I will only be regarded as a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Do you think they will listen to your rhetoric like me?"

"Then... isn't that a cyborg?" Soap asked, "combining biology and machinery..."

"We have to get out of here! Hurry up!" Noir put away the binoculars, turned and ran towards the stairs, while the clown jumped directly from the top of the tower as before.

"It was originally alive." The clown said behind the two, "That kind of 'meme' can not only infect living things, but can even infect programs like computer viruses...even AI. Some secret research groups in the research institute With the remaining technology and the 'good things' in the underground ice storage, they can completely combine biology and machinery to form a brand new life form."

"You were threatening me then!" Soap shouted in a low voice.

"Are you lying to me?!" Soap turned his head and looked at the clown, "Those people didn't do anything at all!"

It was a black "special floating vehicle in the ark", but the model soap of this floating vehicle had never been seen before, and the surface of the vehicle was full of shocking trauma, as if it had experienced many tragic events. In general, the buzzing sound like a beep came from one of the damaged suspension engines.

The black floating vehicle hovered directly above the safe house, and several soldiers in black and black trousers slid down the downhill rope to the ground. Not long after, the iron gate of the safe house opened a crack, and a A figure emerged from the crack in the door.

"Okay..." Noir continued, "The engine used by the airborne vehicle is the LVL8 produced by 'Loppe Aerodynamics', which means 'eighth-generation light vertical lift engine'..."

"It's reliability. Even if a single engine of the 11th, No.12, and No.[-] LVL engines that are commonly used today is damaged, the only remaining engine will maintain the balance of the body under the adjustment of the computer. But the eighth If one engine fails in a modern LVL, the whole plane will lose balance immediately, and if the other engine is not shut down immediately, the plane will be thrown out like a runaway kite and crash."

"That kind of equipment has a lot of limitations, and the memories found may not be complete. If they are willing to actively cooperate, it will be better than using strong ones." The clown said, "What's more, using memory-searching equipment on living people is better than dead people. The effect is better."

"What's wrong?" Soap was taken aback by his exclamation, and immediately turned the knob on the side of the telescope to switch to thermal infrared mode.

He quickly looked up, and saw that the huge steel dome was being torn apart by a terrifying force. The fleshy creep covering the surface of the ark was invading from the cracks in the dome, quickly occupying every area above their heads. an inch of space.

Although he was not the one who faced those men in black, Soap couldn't help but hold his breath, and his heart rate also increased significantly.

"What do you mean?"

The person Soap knew, was the observer of the scout team—no, it should be the sniper now, Simon Villiers.

"If you find anything, just tell me, don't play charades with me." Soap said impatiently, "I have never piloted an airplane, and I don't understand mechanics, even if you put that thing in front of me for me to see, I can't see it." Find out why."

Half an hour passed quickly, and there was no movement from the safe house.The prying-proof design itself also prevented Soap and Noir from seeing what was going on inside the house.Just when Soap was about to put down the binoculars and eat something to fill his stomach, a slight "buzzing" sound gradually approached the block from far to near.

"What is it?" Soap asked along.

"No, that direction is completely opposite to the cyborg prosthetic." The clown vetoed, "The cyborg prosthetic is to install biochemical machinery on the creature, or put the consciousness of the creature into a mechanical container But this kind of technology is the fusion of cells and machinery, so that the machinery can breed self-awareness like a new life... Human civilization in this time and space once used this technology to create a super creature that can control the operation of the entire hive The computer, and the core brain of the Ark, is also derived from this technology."

Just in the middle of their conversation, the black airborne vehicle had already flown away from the block... Just as Soap breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a tooth-piercing "click" sound from above his head.

"Then why didn't they kill Simon and the others?" Noir also asked, "If it is necessary to extract information from them, wouldn't it be good to use that kind of equipment?"

He is very conflicted in his heart now. He hopes that those men in black are really the enemies who came to kill them as the clown said, and he does not want the rest of the team and his old partner Giraffe to die... This kind of The entangled psychology put Soap in a very irritable state, and he couldn't calm down to think about the problem at all.

"Stop arguing!" Simon, who had been observing the situation at the safe house, suddenly said, "There seems to be something wrong with that floating vehicle."

"Then where do you think they will take these people?" The clown said, "Obviously, Simon told them what happened in the safe house, which made them change their minds... In contrast, I It's the 'big fish' that makes them care more."

"Fuck! Fuck!" Soap cursed two curse words in a row, pushed a diluted sedative into his arm with trembling hands, and ran down quickly behind Noir.

It is better to use the word "jump" to describe it as running. The two of them were jumping down almost layer by layer, regardless of whether the water purification tower that had been in disrepair could withstand a fully loaded water tower. The impact of soldiers falling from a high place—the growth speed of those fleshy creepers is really too fast, just like the dough with yeast added under the accelerated lens. In just a few seconds, the original steel structure dome was completely destroyed. Can't see it anymore.

[PS Thank you book friend 20190713222052769 for the 100 starting coins. 】

[PPS I finally found time this afternoon to watch "The Wandering Earth 2" that I've been thinking about.Originally, I planned to go to see it on the first day of the new year, but either I had no time to arrange it, or I couldn't get a ticket at the right time and place, so it was delayed until the tenth day of the new year.

I won't spoil the specific content. In short, my evaluation is just one sentence: it's so fucking wonderful!
The three-hour length plus the top-notch special effects are totally worth the ticket price, even if the movie ticket is twice as expensive, I think it's worth it!There is no peeing in the whole three hours, the plot is tight, there are a lot of easter eggs and stalks, the multi-line plot is advancing at the same time, and various foreshadowings that echo the first part have been newly dug. What I didn’t understand in the first part was well explained in the second part... I originally thought that it would be difficult for a sequel, which is generally called a masterpiece, to surpass its predecessor, so I didn’t hold it too high this time As a result, this second film has completed self-transcendence in any aspect. I can even say that it is the best movie I have seen in the past ten years! 】
