Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan remembered that he had seen a post on the forum, in which a group of boring guys gathered together to discuss how much force it would take to rip a person's head off his neck. At the beginning, only five or six people were talking about this topic. , I don’t know why it became more and more popular, and even some professionals participated in this topic...

Although Ke Lan didn't pay much attention to the specific discussion content, he still remembers the final conclusion: to use vertical force to separate the head and neck without using any tools, the force required is about 150 kilograms to 150 kilograms. Between two hundred kilograms.

The power of a punch of a top human boxer without body modification is about 500 kilograms to 800 kilograms. Although the two methods of exerting force are different, it is at least certain that this power is still within the scope of human capabilities. , not too exaggerated.

"Although this attack method is bloody and terrifying, the power required is not exaggerated." Ke Lan commented, "With the power of power armor, we can easily pull off human heads."

Not to mention tearing one's head off, with the power of the crystal engine, Ke Lan can even grab a person's shoulder and tear him in half... Compared to machines, human flesh is still too fragile.

"No..." Ivan said with a hint of trembling, "Ke Lan, look at this."

His fingertips held a metal fragment less than one square centimeter. The metal fragment was stained with blood and pus. It was obvious that it was dug out from the rotting head.

"This, this is... the neck locking ring of the TR03 power armor!" Layton recognized the origin of this piece of metal after looking at it for two seconds, but at the same time, his face instantly turned pale, "This The thing...is embedded in this guy’s neck?”

Ivan nodded.

"And...there are no traces of acid corrosion on the fragments..."

Everyone present felt their hearts sink suddenly... This piece of metal fragment appeared in the flesh and blood, which meant that the deceased's head was torn off by those things while wearing power armor...

"Leiton, can your robotic arm remove the fixed power armor helmet from the torso?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

"If you use a welding gun to assist, it will take about three to five minutes to cut off the helmet... If you rely solely on mechanical power, it will be difficult..." Leighton shook his head.

"It seems like the things in the mine are far more powerful than your mechanical prosthetic body." Ke Lan suddenly felt his throat was dry and wanted to drink water.

"Hmm..." Layton nodded with a sullen face.

Ke Lan was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke after taking two deep breaths, "Ivan, collect the genetic samples of the victims. We will rest on the spot for ten minutes and check our equipment one last time. After ten minutes, we will move on." ."

This is bad news, but they all know in their hearts that this is not the worst news.

…

ten minutes later.

All the obstacles blocking the mine tunnel had been removed, and in addition to the rotten head, they also found two bloody intestines and a completely broken finger among the debris. Ke Lan also asked Ivan to collect genetic samples one by one.

"Ke Lan, to be honest, I always feel..." The old dog closed his mouth mid-sentence, with a solemn look on his face.

"I know what you are worried about." Since both of them were wearing heavy power armor, Ke Lan did not pat the old dog on the shoulder, but lightly touched him with his elbow. "Don't be so nervous, it looks like Like a rookie on his first mission.”

"I'm not nervous, I'm just, just... Oh, damn it! If you don't say it, you'll get bad luck if you say it. You just think I just farted!"

"You're trying to say you have a bad feeling, right?"

"Hey, that's stupid. I already told you that I don't want to bring bad luck by speaking out. Why don't you know how to restrain yourself?" The old dog cursed angrily, "Did you fall for that idiot Layton?"

"This is all superstition, I believe in science." Ke Lan replied.

"What bullshit science? Bah!" The old dog patted his breastplate, "Alloy power armor, the crystallization of mankind's cutting-edge technology, was still torn apart by those monsters, science? Science is just a thing in this damn place. fart!"

"The armor is just not thick enough. If you put a battleship here, see if those things can tear through the battleship's armor."

"Don't forget where we are now..." The old dog stomped the ground in dissatisfaction, "If this big guy is still alive, the battleship is just a little shrimp in front of it."

"This...I really can't refute this." Ke Lan twitched the corners of his lips and announced that he had given up.

The existence of Leviathan itself is a paradox, and the current practice of mankind is to "turn a blind eye" to it - when conducting biological research, such "prehistoric species" are excluded by default... Otherwise, many The theories once regarded as classics will become fallacies, and the scientific edifice built over millions of years will collapse in an instant.

Everyone knows that this is just self-deception, but people have to choose to cover their eyes - those truths will only bring disaster to the human world at this stage.

"Forget it, it's here now. It's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid it. Let's go. If you really encounter any monsters, you'll have to deal with them first."

"The unknown is the source of fear. When we really face those things, maybe we won't be so scared anymore." Ivan said softly. He glanced at his prosthetic limb subconsciously, "I have died before. Once again, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

"So you must come back alive this time - ah!" Just in the middle of speaking, Layton was hit hard in the abdomen by the old dog's elbow, and he let out a cry of pain.

"Just shut the fuck up. How can you put a flag on your companions like this?"

"Then don't do anything, you are wearing armor now." Layton said miserably.

"Did you ever remember that you were wearing a prosthetic leg when you were rough in the past? You still have the nerve to tell me?" The old dog immediately gave him a roll of his eyes.

"You old thing-"

"Okay, why don't you two have a fight outside the mine, and we can continue the mission after we decide the winner?" Ke Lan persuaded, but he felt that the atmosphere in the team would be affected by these two people making such a fuss. Not as nervous as before.

"Okay, I won't argue with idiots." The old dog immediately "magnanimously" expressed his concession, while Layton remained silent and secretly showed his middle finger behind his back.

"Okay, are you all ready?" Ke Lan pulled the gun bolt hard, "Let's set out, three hundred meters outside the target mining area, in the territory of unknown creatures. If you think those things are scary, take them All dried and broken——"
