Alien Relic Hunter

With this guy Ulrich around, it seems feasible to cross the Ark...

The only thing you need to worry about is whether this guy with a "criminal record" will abandon his companions at a critical moment and run away, or simply stab him in the back... After all, it was for this reason that Ulrich was sent to a military court. of.

"I don't know what those things are, but I can be sure that they are dangerous." Ulrich nodded repeatedly, "The further away from them, the better!"

"Since you can sense the dangers around you, why didn't you notice it at all when we approached you?" Soap suddenly discovered a "blind spot". If Ulrich's perception ability was so powerful, then the three of them would not be able to sense it at all. It was impossible to complete the "assault" against him... Even before seeing Ulrich, the latter had already sensed their presence in advance and escaped first.

This must be clarified now, otherwise, it will be completely meaningless to question him when Ulrich leads him directly into the circle of men in black.

"You are not particularly dangerous to me...especially in that place, where the moth is, and its aura completely obscured you, so I didn't notice it." Ulrich still didn't seem to be used to it. Speaking, it took a long time just to organize the language, and the order of the words was also messed up. There were nearly ten grammatical errors in just a few dozen words.

Fortunately, Soap has become accustomed to this characteristic of the other party, and the brain can "translate" the other party's words into the correct meaning on its own.

"Are you saying that none of the three of us are a threat to you? Not even as good as those mutated creatures?"

"Yes." Ulrich replied.

Zao Zao remembered that Urich, a mutated hyena that was dormant in the shadows and wanted to ambush the three of them, could sense it. However, that mutant hyena was not very strong, and even the clown did not take action. Only Zao Zao could do it. He and Noir took care of the hyenas in one stroke.

Perhaps what Ulrich sensed was the physical strength of the organism? In terms of physical strength alone, Soap and Noir are indeed incomparable to a mutated hyena that is five to six meters long. If they didn't have guns in their hands and encountered this hyena with bare hands, even if the number of people increased tenfold, it would only be enough for the hyena. Just an extra meal...

However, according to this logical analysis, shouldn't Urich be able to sense the clown?

The fighting power of Soap and Nuval relies on technology and weapons, while the clown's strength belongs to himself... It is no exaggeration to say that the clown is more powerful than most monsters in the underground labyrinth. Such an existence, for For Urich, it should at least be classified into the level of "very scary" and "shuddering just thinking about it"... But in reality, the clown seemed to be invisible, and was directly "ignored" by Urich.

"What about the clown? He is the guy who is wrapped up tightly and is so powerful that he can even provoke those monsters alone and then escape unscathed. Couldn't you have sensed him at that time?" Soap asked.

"Who?" Ulrich's eyes showed a hint of confusion, "What clown?"

"What clown?" Soap was stunned for a moment, "Have you forgotten who tied you up with tentacles when we met?"

"I...I don't remember." Ulrich shook his head, "I only remember that you were two people..."

"Two people?!" Soap suddenly felt a chill rising from behind.

What exactly is going on?

Has Ulrich's memory been tampered with?

However, he was also fully involved in the "sabotage operation" that led the monsters to the ground. He couldn't possibly forget... Noir, who was the "monster attractor"? !

Wait a moment? Was it Noir who went to lure the monsters?

Under Ulrich's puzzled eyes, Soap stood there blankly. He vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it.

Why...why did I run into the underground maze? Oh, by the way, the giraffe was killed by those damn men in black. I wanted to avenge him, so I planned a plan with Noir to release the monsters in the underground labyrinth. It happened that we met "D-class personnel" Ulrich Nowitzki during this process. After negotiating with him, he decided to help us...

As for why he is here now, it is to complete the initial mission - to collect the internal situation of the Ark and send it back to Mukah Fortress... Soap turned his head and glanced at the remains of the communication equipment, and nodded subconsciously.

There must be a large number of drones from Mukah or other surviving fortresses hovering in the airspace near the Ark. As long as one of the drones can receive the signal it sends, Mukah Fortress can know everything: There are no survivors on the Ark. The anti-human organization headed by "Zeus" attempts to sacrifice the entire human civilization and Alpha Star to the "great god", and the giant plant that takes root in the core area and spreads its roots to all parts of the Ark Plants are the key to this sacrificial ceremony.

The army of Mukah Fortress must destroy this plant, otherwise, everyone will die - no, not just physical death, but even the soul will be absorbed as nourishment and will never be freed.

Thinking of this, Soap immediately shuddered. He didn't quite understand what it felt like for the soul to never be freed, but deep in his memory, he seemed to have had a similar experience... although the specific details were so vague that he couldn't even think of it. Get up, but just trying to touch those memories shrouded in fog will make you feel a chilling fear.

Human instinct made Soap unwilling to recall those things... Although he had many doubts in his heart, he still gave up the plan to delve deeper and patted Ulrich on the shoulder: "I got reliable news that there is another person in the other team. The survivors are now in the East Eighth District and are moving towards the East Seventh District. We need to cross half of the Ark to find that person to meet up."

"Why are you looking for that person?" Urich asked.

"Huh?" Soap was slightly startled. Urich was really stunned when he asked... Why? Why should I take huge risks to find another survivor?

If you want to escape, just take care of yourself... What does the life and death of the survivors of the other team have to do with you?

However, subconsciously, Soap firmly believed that as long as he found the survivor, he would be able to find a way to escape from the Ark... This idea was like a "thought stamp", firmly imprinted in his brain. .

"I'm not sure...but that person seems to have found a way to escape from the Ark." Soap said vaguely.

…

Twelve kilometers south of Mukah Fortress, in an unnamed valley.

This is the first time Ke Lan has seen the "true appearance" of antimatter with his own eyes - a gray, rolling substance like mist suspended more than half a meter above the ground. Surrounded by it is Several layers of space barriers that are invisible to the naked eye.

This ball of antimatter is stored in a sealed vacuum space. Compared with Alpha civilization's use of electromagnetic fields to constrain it, the "container" made of space barriers is safer. As long as the space barrier does not disappear, these antimatter will not come into contact with any positive matter, and naturally there will be no "annihilation" phenomenon that releases a huge amount of energy.

Ke Lan and Ze Luo "looted" the sites of eleven death ray cannons and found a total of 1,550 grams of antimatter from the core components of these death ray cannons... This number was what Ze Luo told Ke Lan. ——Many people think that the mass of antimatter should be a negative number. This is actually a wrong understanding.

Antimatter is a substance composed of atoms composed of positrons and antiprotons. This statement sounds a bit convoluted, but in fact, as long as you know that antimatter and positive matter both have mass, the only difference is that the particles that make up these substances have completely opposite electrical properties. .

The electrons of positive matter are negatively charged, and the protons in the nucleus are positively charged... In the old era, this was a compulsory content in high school physics courses, but in this era, this part of the knowledge is not included in the compulsory education curriculum and can only be studied in advanced courses. Only when you study relevant professional topics can you learn it.

The compulsory education in Ark is more "practical". Although there are subjects such as chemistry and physics, they are all elective courses. There are no credits and no dedicated teachers to explain to you. Interested students need Self-study by reading videos and graphic materials...and Ke Lan is one of the very few students who is interested in this knowledge.

However, he is not sure now whether he actually attended classes in a compulsory education institution or whether it was a false memory that was implanted later... The only memory that can be confirmed to be real at present is the part after he became a relic hunter. . As for the memories before becoming a relic hunter, it is very likely that the undead crew will "forge" them.

…

"Tsk, is this an 'annihilation bomb'?" Layton crossed his arms and walked around the "gray fog", "It's really hard to imagine that the power of this thing after being released is enough to destroy a whole building. fortress."

"Didn't you witness his power with your own eyes?" Chi Hanfeng asked.

"It's different. The antimatter mass that destroyed that battleship is probably not even one ten thousandth of that here." Layton shook his head, "This amount is enough for the undead crew members to drink a pot of it!"

"But the key to the problem is how to send this annihilation bomb into the interior of the Ark, or even into the roots of the giant tree in the core area." Ivan sat on a stone with a very flat top that was weathered. A brand new silver-white prosthetic leg supported the chin, "This thing is very powerful, but if it is detonated outside the Ark, it will definitely not achieve the effect we expect."

"You only have one chance." Ke Lan said, staring at the antimatter churning in the vacuum space. "These antimatter are almost all the stocks left by the Alpha civilization. Maybe some of them are buried deep in unknown ruins, but there is no time left. Allow us to explore those ruins. We must succeed first time."

"At this time, we should play out all our trump cards in one go. We can no longer hide them." Leiton said loudly, "Let's just drive out Yagunaktor. With its firepower, it should be able to Opening a gap in Ark performance."

"The firepower of Yagunaktor?" The hound raised his eyebrows, "Aren't all the weapons on this thing inoperable? Otherwise, we wouldn't have been passively beaten that day, with no chance to fight back."

"No, Agunak Tol itself is a powerful weapon." Chi Hanfeng took over the words, "Relying on the strength of Agunak Tol's own energy shield, it is enough to break through the Ark's protective shield. As for the hull of Yagunaktor, it is all made of Nino alloy, and there is space technology inside to strengthen the structure. I even think that it can be inserted directly into the core area of ​​​​the Ark and send annihilation bombs into it. "

"No." Ke Lan thought for a moment and rejected the proposal, "If Yagunaktor is used as a breakthrough method, then the detonation of the annihilation bomb will inevitably affect Yagunaktor. This is the only way for human civilization to survive in the future. If it is damaged, even if we destroy the giant tree, victory will have no meaning to us."

"Yeah..." Hound sighed, "There are a bunch of lunatics on the opposite side. They can stake all their wealth and do whatever it takes... But we can't. We have to live a careful life in the future... For us, Die together... Even if it's a tragic victory, it's no different from losing."

According to the owner of the hive city, both Alpha Civilization and Alpha Planet have been marked by that existence. Not only is this not the new home of the Ark Civilization, it cannot even be used as a place to stay for a long time. Sooner or later, that existence will notice the existence of Alpha Star again... Regardless of whether the Alpha civilization is strong enough to become his dependent family, or it can only be reduced to nourishment in the end. After being "freezing" for such a long time, it has to "accept" the "results" .

At that time, He will find that the Alpha civilization has disappeared, and there is a weaker Ark civilization on this planet - although He will not destroy the Ark civilization immediately, but after being watched by Him, the Ark civilization will repeat the same mistake The mistakes of Alpha Civilization...the "disasters" that have been staged in the hive will appear again.

Every Ark human being will be marked by that existence, and no matter where he escapes to in the universe, he cannot escape His control.

The only chance for the Ark civilization is to inherit the legacy of the Alpha civilization as much as possible before it notices the changes on Planet Alpha, and then board the "Aguna Kotor" to once again embark on an interstellar journey.

"In the second round of the attack, the main force will have to rely on the Skati and the coalition forces from various fortresses." Hound frowned, "Aguna Kotor can participate in the battle, but it can only be used as a support unit..."

He did not continue talking - Yagunaktor itself is indeed powerful enough, but its biggest shortcoming is its lack of firepower... With Yagunaktor as the main force, it can break through all obstacles, but if it is only allowed to If it comes to support, then its help to the main force will be minimal.

Unless a way can be found to "quickly recharge" Agunaktor.
