Alien Relic Hunter

"No, old dog, Ke Lan's method might work..." Layton's voice came from the side. The hound turned around and saw a big cyborg standing in front of a large machine more than two meters high. , holding in his hand a piece of covering cloth that had just been torn off.

"We are lucky... This is a heavy-duty turbine pump, the kind equipped with a crystal engine... Maybe this thing is too heavy, so they didn't move it..."

"Pump?" The hound narrowed his eyes, "You mean..."

"That's right, I can transform this thing into a drilling machine. It won't take much time, half an hour at most." Layton said excitedly.

"If there is a drilling rig, then this 20-meter layer of earth and rock is not a big deal, but...you also need a drill bit for the drilling rig. Where can I find a drill bit here?" Ivan asked with some confusion.

"We have something more useful than a drill!" Leighton looked at the thermal epee in the hound's hand, "After this thing is powered by energy, it can cut iron like mud. This stone is not a problem at all. If you use this If the thing is used as a drill bit, the efficiency will not be lower than that of diamond!"

"Then hurry up!" Without saying a word, the hound directly threw the thermal epee in his hand towards Leighton.

"It's a pity that there is only one. If there were four... no, three, the excavation efficiency would be improved several times." Layton caught the epee and said with some regret.

"It doesn't matter how many times he takes it, as long as I can escape! Damn it, if I can get out from here, I have to let that Prussian live and die!" The hound forcefully threw an empty magazine in his hand. He fell to the ground and stepped hard several times.

Layton glanced at the magazine that was trampled by the armor, and said unhappily: "Why are you so angry with the magazine? That guy's face is not on the magazine... But if that bastard really falls into my hands, In his hands, I guarantee that he will definitely regret why his mother gave birth to him."

"We were indeed betrayed, but...do you think it's strange?" Ke Lan squatted on the ground and said thoughtfully.

"Strange? What's strange?"

"Manstein has already reached an agreement with us. Logically speaking, he should not choose to tear up the agreement at this time and retaliate against us. This is unreasonable."

"What's so unreasonable? I think this bitch just saw this opportunity and wants to trap us in this damn place!" the hound said angrily.

"But, he has no motive for doing this..." Ke Lan slowly shook his head, "Although I don't have much contact with Manstein, I can basically confirm that he is not the kind of person who acts on impulse... He This man is greedy by nature, but his behavior is very rational and good at forbearance... In his eyes, he always puts his own interests first... And if he decides to retaliate against us here, it is tantamount to making a choice. If he died with us, even if we couldn't get out alive, the senior management of the Soma Consortium would never let him go - if I were sitting in his position, I would never do such a thing."

"And why does he want to retaliate against us? Just because we exposed his misappropriation of public funds to purchase shield generators?" Ke Lan continued, "But don't forget, these shield generators are on us now. If he traps us in the mine, he won't be able to get back these shield generators... This kind of harming others without benefiting oneself... No, it's something that harms others and harms oneself, and only short-sighted street gangsters can do it. . But do you think a street gangster can climb to such a high position as being in charge of a consortium base?"

"Then why were communications cut off? Why did the siege tanks outside open fire? Why... why are we trapped here?!" Hound asked unconvincingly.

"I don't know, but reason tells me that Manstein couldn't have done this," Ke Lan said.

"After all this time, do you still believe that Prussian?" As a descendant of Poland, Hound obviously didn't have the slightest fondness for Manstein.

"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not..." Ke Lan's voice suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Just when the hound wanted to speak, Ke Lan suddenly raised his hand to signal him to stop talking.

Then, Ke Lan even asked Layton, who was modifying the water pump, to stop, then lie down and put his ears to the ground.

Seeing Ke Lan's strange behavior, Hound, Zhuoligetu and Ivan all reacted within a short time, and then they all fell to the ground in the same manner. Only Leighton held up the chainsaw and welding gun and let go. If you don't come down, you can only watch them.

"It sounded like an explosion..." the hound said softly.

"There are also gunfire and artillery sounds...it seems...there is a firefight outside..." Ke Lan said, and he could even feel the tremor passing along the ground.

"Firefight? People outside? The Prussian's men? Who are they fighting with?" A flash of joy suddenly flashed across the hound's face, "Could it be Liao Zilang? I knew that kid was tough!"

"No, it's not Liao Zilang." Ke Lan got up from the ground and shook his head, "If it were Liao Zilang, there wouldn't be such a big movement."

"Who else could it be? Even if the Soma Consortium knew that we had been cheated and sent people to settle the score with that Manstein, they wouldn't have arrived so quickly, right?" Hound said.

"Could it be that the ultra-pure crystal was leaked and other consortiums were attacking the Soma Consortium's base?" Ivan expressed his guess.

"Probably not." Ke Lan still shook his head, "Although the value of ultra-pure crystals is amazing, according to Ark's rules, wars between consortiums are strictly prohibited... Something as big as attacking a base cannot be concealed. Yes, once it is confirmed, no matter how strong that consortium is, it will not be able to withstand the siege of the Ark official and all other consortiums that have signed the agreement. No one will do this, which is equivalent to tearing up all mankind. Shameless stupidity.”

Ke Lan paused and continued: "I would rather believe that Manstein ordered us to be buried in the mine because of his brain damage, than I believe that any consortium would dare to openly attack the mining bases of other consortiums."

"What are they fighting outside? Are they indigenous creatures? What could be on this Leviathan..."

The hound was suddenly startled when he said this. He subconsciously looked at the body of the "sea anemone head" on the ground and murmured: "Could it be...that this thing ran away?"

"..."

Ke Lan was silent for a few seconds, and then said with some difficulty: "This... is really possible, otherwise, why did those monsters that had forced us into a desperate situation just leave suddenly... I'm afraid it was to gather troops and attack the ground. The human base on..."

It is well known that the tunnels of the mine are actually blood vessels in Leviathan's body - since they are blood vessels, they must be connected to each other... In other words, the exit of Mine No. 7 is not only blocked in front of you. Live this one!
