Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan asked seven or eight survivors in a row, and the answers he got were basically the same, and there was even less valuable information.

When this hunter team explored the depths of the mine, the first thing to be attacked was the powered armor that opened the way in front.

The hunters wearing power armor were knocked down by long-range acid attacks without any defense - according to a survivor, the acid flew very fast, and the hunters who were selected as targets There was no time to dodge, so they were all hit one after another.

After the acid hit the power armor, it took less than a second to erode through the several centimeter-thick composite armor layer.

"Those who were hit by the acid suddenly screamed. I didn't dare to think about that kind of pain... But after a while, their screams disappeared. By then, there was already a mess underground. , I didn’t have time to confirm whether they were still alive." The survivor said.

"They must be dead. None of the people who escaped this time were hit by the acid. What does this mean? It means that those who were exposed to the acid were already dead." - This is another story A survivor told them that he was not injured in the battle, but accidentally knocked his knee on a rock while running back.

The acid attack killed at least half of the people, and then the creatures hidden in the darkness swarmed up and began to massacre the remaining hunters.

That's right, this is not a battle at all, it is completely a one-sided massacre.

Everyone who had fought with those things was killed without exception. The reason why these survivors survived was because they chose to escape at the beginning of the battle... None of the seriously wounded had any injuries. It was at the hands of those monsters. They were all accidentally injured by their own people in panic. There were also a few more unlucky guys who were hit by ricocheting bullets that bounced off the rock wall...

"That is to say, apart from acid, we don't even know what attack methods those things have..." The old dog glanced at a seriously injured person lying on a hospital bed not far away - this was the most seriously injured person. A funny guy: Originally, he had escaped from the mine unscathed, but the pistol forgot to turn off the safety and went off, hitting the femoral artery. If his blood type had not had more plasma reserves in the base, otherwise This guy's name is probably already on the death list.

"What other means can there be? It's nothing more than claws or teeth." Leighton said with some disdain, "That acid is a bit tricky. According to the analysis report, the composition is very close to aqua regia, but its properties are far better than aqua regia. To be stable, it is difficult to neutralize or digest it through chemical means.”

Layton said, and patted the silver-white metal shell on the outside of his robotic arm: "At normal temperature, it is difficult for aqua regia to dissolve titanium alloy armor, but in the face of this strong acid, titanium alloy can persist even for a second. Less than...among the several metals and alloys that have been tested so far, only Nino alloy can resist this thing."

"Nino Alloy?" The old dog slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "What's that spider called... Oh yes, doesn't the Wolf Spider's mecha have Nino Alloy armor? Take it off and make it into a shield. Can’t we block this acid attack?”

"The Nino alloy content in the armor is not high enough to have any effect..." Layton shook his head slightly, "If you want to make a shield that can block this kind of acid, at least half of the shield must be made of Made of Nino alloy... All the Nino alloy on the Wolf Spider can barely make such a shield. However, there is no ultra-high temperature forging furnace that can melt Nino alloy here. "

"Then this experiment is in vain." The old dog said angrily, pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Old dog, do you think these creatures have a high IQ? I don't mean the beast-like cunning, but their tactical thinking... You see, first use long-range attacks to kill the enemy's physical strength as much as possible, and at the same time Disrupt the local formation, and then conduct a quick surprise attack to kill the enemy... Isn't this tactic very common in the human army?"

"When you say that, it's true! When the field troops used to encircle and suppress the indigenous creatures, this is what they did - first use artillery and bombers to wash the ground, and then the ground troops moved in and used heavy weapons and rockets to wash it again. Finally, the highly mobile melee armor rushes in to harvest, and the snipers at the rear are responsible for covering... This is exactly the same!"

"To be honest, I am not afraid of fighting monsters, but I am afraid that these monsters have intelligence that is not weaker than humans... If we are not careful, we may follow in the footsteps of the first four exploration teams." Ke Lan glanced at These "wounded people" couldn't help but have thoughts of quitting - if the operation in Undersea City was to save people, then this time, they were working purely for money. If the task is too difficult, giving up might be a good idea. choose?

Of the four exploration teams, no one who had fought against that unknown creature had survived... and those who survived had never fought against the things underground in the mine.

From this point of view, it seems that I still underestimated the danger of this commission.

"Although I don't have a Nino alloy shield, I do have a way to deal with acid attacks." At this moment, Layton took the initiative to stand up, showing off his fully refurbished mechanical arm.

"What's wrong? What kind of secret weapon have you installed?" Ke Lan took a look at the mechanical arm. From the appearance alone, he couldn't really see much difference from the previous one.

"Ke Lan, shoot me."

"Huh? Are you sure?" Ke Lan pulled out his pistol, and the people around him, including the wounded, all focused their curious eyes on this tall biochemically modified man.

"Sure, let alone your little pistol, even if you remove the large-caliber cannon installed on the car." Layton said confidently.

"My magazine is filled with armor-piercing bullets. If your precious arm is broken, I will not be responsible for the repair costs." Ke Lan turned on the safety of the pistol and pointed it at Layton - of course, he was aiming at the gun Silver-white mechanical arm.

"As long as you play bad," Layton said.

"Wait a minute, I think we should go outside. It would be bad if a ricochet hurts someone else." Ke Lan suddenly put away his gun and said. As soon as he finished speaking, a wounded man who was watching the excitement not far away He shivered - this guy's injury was caused by a ricochet in the mine.

"It's okay, just shoot." Layton said solemnly, vigorously patting the mechanical arm raised to his chest.

"Is this what you said?" Less than ten meters away, Ke Lan didn't even aim again. He pulled the trigger the moment he raised the gun——

"Bang!"

"Buzz——"

A seven-color light shield appeared in front of Layton. The bullet was vaporized the moment it came into contact with the light shield, leaving not even a trace of residue behind.

"Isn't this an energy shield?!" A knowledgeable person among the onlookers exclaimed.

"Hey, the black technology from the Alpha Civilization - the small shield generator. Although the area is a bit small, its defensive power is completely battleship-level. A piece of fourth-level crystal can maintain the shield for a full hundred and two times. Ten seconds." Layton chuckled and put away his shield.

"How much did it cost?"

"It's not expensive, it's only 10 million, so I got a bargain." The big man's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"This guy asked me to borrow three million to buy this thing," Liao Zilang said.

"Have you tried it? Can this thing block acid?" Ke Lan asked straight to the point without leaving any ink.

"Yes, even if the acid can corrode the energy shield, as long as the energy of the bullet is enough to maintain the shield, the shield will continue to repair itself." Layton replied.

"Why didn't you tell me about this good thing earlier? We're not short of money. It would be great if we could just give everyone one." Ke Lan complained, "It's not enough to have a shield like yours now!"

"Well...Mr. Ke Lan, if it is a small shield generator, we have several in our base, but even the smallest model is as big as an off-road vehicle engine... For non-modified people, It’s too bulky,” Manstein said from the sidelines.

"It's good to have it!" Ke Lan felt much better after hearing such good news. "Although it is very bulky from the perspective of individual soldier equipment, if we all put on power armor, this thing can still be considered useful. A burden?"

"This, this is indeed a good idea." Manstein was stunned for a moment and said with some stumbling.
