Alien Relic Hunter

"Come to hell with me, damn monster!" the officer roared as he activated the fuses of all the bombs on the bomber - theoretically, before the bomb bay was opened, the fuses of the bombs were Locked. But in the early days of Ark's landing on Planet Alpha, during the most difficult period of the war, human bombers often needed to conduct "kamikaze" raids in actual combat to achieve combat goals. In order to ensure that the bombs on the bombers could still explode after the pilot ejected, Therefore, a "back door" for self-destruction was left in the bombing program.

The prerequisites for activating self-destruction are very cumbersome. The driver needs to enter the password three times in succession and then perform voice verification before it can be activated. However, before this combat operation, the commander of the aviation group approached the person responsible for managing the operating procedures in the logistics department. Let them remove all the verification conditions in this self-destruction program and turn it into a true "one-click self-destruction".

The reason is also very simple - this is a mission with a narrow escape from death. Almost all the pilots have written suicide notes before the attack. If the desperate moment comes and they are unable to self-destruct due to the cumbersome verification procedures, then it will be really serious. He could not rest in peace.

The propeller at the tail of the bomber ejected blue-purple tail flames, pushing the aircraft towards the Thunder Beast that was raging among the heavy infantry groups - these heavy infantrymen wearing power armor were killed in just one minute. More than half of the casualties were lost, and the remaining people also had a death wish in their hearts. They did not retreat to the exit with the others, but clung to the Thunder Beast and other charging monsters, trying their best to buy time for their comrades to retreat. .

The bomber hit the side of the Thor hard, and the nose of the plane was instantly crushed. The officer in the cockpit exploded into a ball of blood mist before he even had a chance to eject. The next second, the plane inside the plane exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The bomb exploded with a bang, and the huge shock wave directly tore the surrounding heavy infantry and monsters to pieces!

The powerful shock wave spread out, knocking those who were running slowly into the air, and then threw them heavily to the ground.

None of the people affected by the shock wave could get up from the ground - their internal organs had been shattered into pulp before they even landed.

Only less than twenty people escaped from Hangar No. 2. They could only grit their teeth and disconnected the connection between Hangar No. 2 and the Skadi, and ejected Hangar No. 2.

The ejected Hangar No. 2 collided with the inside of the energy shield, triggering another violent explosion. Combined with the explosion of the ammunition carried by the aircraft inside the hangar, a hole was formed on the side of the Skati. An extremely dazzling fireball with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

Although the loss of Hangar No. 2 was heartbreaking, this wave of "strong men's broken wrists" also eliminated a large number of monsters that invaded the interior of the hangar and adhered to the outer wall of the hangar. Not only that, the subsequent explosions also eliminated many ska The egg-shaped sarcoma adhered to the surface of the pedicle immediately reduced the defensive pressure on this side.

On the bridge, Rear Admiral Alexander, who saw Hangar No. 2 being ejected and exploded, took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to these things. Instead, he focused all his attention on controlling the battleship.

The Skadi once again flew back to the sky above the Ark, and lowered its altitude to the point where it was almost flying close to the Ark's energy shield. The battleship's energy shield and the Ark's energy shield would collide from time to time. When the two When the attacker's shield comes into contact, a series of piercing alarms will sound inside the bridge, and the red warning lights will almost illuminate the entire bridge space in blood.

The "friction reaction" between energy shields is actually not as simple as controlling the distance as Ke Lan described - this is actually a big gamble: when the energy shield and another shield with a different frequency When contact occurs, it is equivalent to being attacked by an energy weapon from the outside world. Compared with the Ark's shield, the power of the Skati's energy shield is not impressive at all. Just a slight touch can easily cause SCAR The shield generator of the USS Ti was overloaded and exploded, so using the collision and friction between the energy shields to remove the egg-shaped sarcomas and monsters attached to the surface of the ship was almost like dancing on the tip of a knife.

"Attention everyone on the ship, this ship is about to perform a roll maneuver. Please be prepared in time!" Alexander said in a deep voice.

The adjutant on the side pulled out the seat belt, fastened it for Alexander, then quickly ran back to his seat, sat down, fastened the seat belt, and firmly grasped the armrests of the seat with both hands.

Alexander glanced at the screen displaying various parameters of the battleship. The moment a certain parameter jumped to a certain value, he pushed the joystick to one side, and at the same time, with his other hand, he pressed a program instruction that had already been edited. Sent out.

On one side of the Skati, hundreds of hidden covers were opened at the same time, and the jets hidden under the covers stretched out, turned to a preset angle, and sprayed out long flames at the same time. Under the influence of this force, Under the push, the Skati slowly turned its body over like a giant whale in the water.

A dazzling fire broke out where the two energy shields, one large and one small, came into contact. The fire was hundreds of times brighter than when Hangar No. 2 exploded just now. Only a blazing white could be seen inside the bridge, followed by many screens. Only the black and white snowflake stripes were left - those external monitors couldn't withstand such high temperatures and they all melted down!

Alexander controlled the Skadi to roll for two weeks, and the ship was straightened again. Then, he pulled the bow of the ship almost perpendicular to the ground, and let the battleship go straight into the sky to avoid the eggs that were constantly shooting towards the battleship. sarcoma.

At this time, only one of the real-life screens in the bridge can still display the outside world normally. Moreover, because the friction between the shields produced a violent energy reaction, a huge and chaotic electromagnetic field was generated in this airspace. All the drones deployed on the periphery of the battlefield were interfered with, not only the Skati The crew was unable to observe the outside world through the images taken by the drone, and even the "live broadcast" of Mukakh Fortress was interrupted.

"Why is there no signal?" Hound jumped off the back of the sofa, walked to the projector, and patted the machine hard. "Is the machine broken? Or is the signal interfered with?"

"It was interfered with." Ke Lan said, "The reaction between the energy shields was far more intense than expected. Even though those drones were far away from the center of the explosion, they were still affected. The aftermath was no less than a giant EMP. bomb……"

"How long will it take to recover?" Hound frowned, "With such a violent reaction, could the Skadi have exploded?"

"The drones with poor anti-interference ability have probably crashed. As for the remaining ones with stronger anti-interference ability, even if they recover quickly, it will take more than ten minutes to restore communication." Ke Lan He estimated, "But I can't come up with an accurate figure... the situation was too sudden and no data was collected at all."

"Then we can only wait?" Hound said, spreading his hands.

"We can only wait." Ke Lan nodded, "I believe they will not be shot down so easily."

…

Above the Ark, at an altitude of 15,000 meters, the Skati.

Communication was interfered with and all external images were lost. In desperation, Alexander could only make a risky move - to raise the bridge that had sunk inside the ship's hull and directly judge the external situation through visual inspection.

The armor plates in the middle of the Skati's hull slid open to both sides, and the tower-like bridge slowly rose up from below. At the same time, the armor plates that wrapped the bridge like iron barrels also opened one after another. The observation window of the bridge was exposed.

As soon as the armor plate was raised, a lizard-like monster with a body length of more than 20 meters including its tail slammed down on the observation window. It immediately frightened the officers and soldiers on the bridge into panic. One officer directly raised his pistol. , and pulled the trigger repeatedly through the observation window - those bullets hit the inside of the observation window, making a clanging sound, and the deformed warheads were scattered on the ground.

"Don't panic, it can't break the observation window glass yet!" Another officer who was relatively calm shouted, "Don't shoot yet! The observation window is a one-way glass, and it can't see what's going on inside. We don't want to Stimulate it and maybe it will go away on its own!”

His words seemed to set a flag for himself. As soon as he said "Maybe it will leave on its own," the big lizard began to secrete a viscous liquid from its mouth, which dripped on the observation window. On the glass, the glass immediately began to melt.

"Damn! Can it sense us?!" The fire control officer responsible for controlling the weapons cursed in a low voice, then turned to look at Alexander, "General, what are we going to do? I can't turn the muzzle to attack. Bridge - the weapon that can kill this monster will also penetrate the bulletproof glass of the bridge!"

"How many Marines are left that can still be mobilized?" Alexander asked, a look of exhaustion flashed across his face - although the operation just lasted only a few dozen seconds, it consumed a lot of energy. It's extremely huge.

"Both the first and fourth battalions still have a squadron that can be mobilized. The rest of the troops are either out of contact or locked in a bitter battle with the monsters that broke into the ship." The adjutant said immediately.

"Let these two squadrons go up to the outer deck and deal with this monster." Alexander ordered.

Although most of the egg-shaped sarcomas and monsters attached to the surface of the Skati have been removed, a small number of monsters remain - these monsters are either hidden in the grooves of the armor plate, Either he got under the turret or a raised structure inside the radar and escaped disaster. The big lizard lying on the bridge observation window in front of me is one of these monsters that survived.

"They are rushing over," the adjutant said, "but the situation is not optimistic... many passages are blocked, and the entrances and exits of the inner and outer decks are too far away from their position. It will take at least fifteen minutes. Moreover, now the outer deck There are still many monsters entrenched above, and with the combat power of these two squadrons, it may be difficult to break through."

Hearing what the adjutant said, the officers and soldiers in the bridge turned their heads and focused their attention on the big lizard. The observation window glass of the bridge was a composite structure, with six layers of special glass sandwiched between them. The extremely thin alloy reinforced layer also has a transparent metal coating on the outermost and innermost layers of the glass.

In terms of defensive performance, the observation window glass can fully withstand a direct hit from a 35mm caliber machine gun. Even if close-range anti-aircraft fire is concentrated, it can still last for a long time... But under the "spit" of this big lizard It seemed that the six layers of glass could not last even five minutes - in just a few dozen seconds, the first layer of glass had been corroded.

"It's too late." An officer took out two magazines from the equipment cabinet and stuffed them into his waistband. "They can't make it in time... before the two squadrons get to the outer deck, this guy will break into the ship." The bridge is broken...we...can only rely on ourselves."

"But there are no heavy weapons on the bridge!" Another officer shouted eagerly, "The most powerful ones are the 25mm automatic defense machine guns and the heavy machine guns in the hands of the Marine Corps. What do you think? Can these weapons kill this monster?"

"Is it possible that we should abandon the bridge?"

"We can only fight it to the death!"

Just as the officers in the bridge were arguing fiercely, another figure appeared on the other side of the observation window. However, the appearance of this figure made everyone in the bridge breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a "ZB51 flying tactical mecha". It is a new type of flying tactical mecha developed in the year 951 of the New Era. It is a direct follow-up body of the "Guard type" and has not been officially installed in the army... In other words, this The series of airframes were not even successfully approved for mass production. There were only two technical demonstrators, which were sealed after several test flights.

As an equipment fan, after learning about the existence of this type of machine, Layton used Ke Lan's authority to get one of the two technology verification machines to Yagunaktor. Later, this machine body was transferred to the Skati as a supplement to its combat power.

"Isn't this aircraft parked in Hangar No. 2?" an officer whispered, "Did it manage to escape? Who was the pilot driving it?"

"I don't know. The electromagnetic interference is too severe and we can't contact you." The communications officer shook his head repeatedly.

ZB51 flew into everyone's sight in the form of a fighter jet. At the moment it was about to hit the bridge, the machine body completed its transformation directly in the air and turned into a twelve-meter-tall humanoid mecha. The reverse thrusters on the front side fired simultaneously, causing the aircraft to hover immediately.

The next second, ZB51's right hand shot out a light blade, piercing the back of the big lizard's head!

The big lizard did not die immediately because its vitals were penetrated. The big tail, which was almost the same length as the body, was instantly drawn towards the ZB51. If it was hit by this tail, the ZB51, which was very weakly armored, would 100% be cut off at the waist. The pilot who was waist-deep in the cockpit had no chance of surviving!
