Alien Relic Hunter

"That's not the case... I think the firepower of a fleet should be more than enough to deal with these bugs..." Hound said, "We don't need to take this risk."

"But judging from the current situation, it is safe to stay at this height, isn't it?" Ke Lan's eyes swept over everyone one by one, "Suppose, I mean suppose... what if Leviathan really wants to Resurrected... Even if the chance is only one in a billion, but if it really happens to be one in a billion, the decision we make now will be enough to affect the final outcome."

"This time, I'm on Ke Lan's side." Ivan raised his hand, "Everyone should know Murphy's Law. In this matter, I think it's better not to take chances... We must do everything Prepare for the worst, if the fleet fails to take corrective measures immediately due to our fault, I think..."

As he said that, Ivan suddenly waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't want to think about that kind of scene at all. Everyone knows it anyway, so I won't say it out loud."

The "Murphy's Law" mentioned by Ivan was proposed by an American named Edward Murphy in 1949 in the old era. Although it is very difficult to explain the principle, there is only one sentence in summary: Assume that things It will get worse, no matter how small the chance is, it will happen.

In other words, as long as anything has a probability greater than zero, it cannot be assumed that it will not happen.

In the eyes of others, "Leviathan's resurrection" is indeed an almost impossible thing... However, almost impossible and impossible cannot be equated, as Ke Lan said, "Even if The probability is only one in a billion." Then there is still a chance of one in a billion that it will happen.

And when reality happens to hit this one in a billion, then the probability of this happening is 100%.

"I also agree to stay." The second person who chose to support Ke Lan turned out to be the "held hostage" Sakurai Na, which surprised everyone a little, but soon the girl told her reasons.

"There," she pointed to the Mitsui Consortium base below that had turned into a sea of ​​blood, "I have many friends, and they were all killed by those bugs. I want to watch the Ark fleet destroy these bugs and give them to them. revenge."

"Old dog, Ke Lan is right..." Layton said while sitting in the driver's seat, but he did not look back, "If we escape this time, we will become deserters..."

"Okay!" Hound sat down in his seat, "You won, I was convinced... Damn, to be honest, if it wasn't for the fear of death, who would be willing to be a deserter..."

"It is relatively safe to hover at this height." Ivan analyzed calmly, "The blood column formed by the bugs just gathered at a maximum distance of about two hundred meters. It collapsed before it could exceed three hundred meters. Another plane crashed It's because they took off a step later than us and didn't have time to raise the altitude... To say the least, even if the blood column can climb to our current height, we still have enough time to choose to go up into the clouds or go up. Avoid in a horizontal direction.”

"You can trust my driving skills, old dog!" Layton added, "At the glacier ruins earlier, if I had been the driver, we might not have crashed!"

"Keep blowing, I'm listening." The hound gave Layton a roll of his eyes, and then took off the helmet on his head.

Ke Lan noticed that the lining of the hound's helmet was almost completely wet with sweat - if it was just the amount of exercise when escaping, it would be impossible to sweat so much. This sweat can only be caused by being at high altitude for a long time. Cold sweat from nervousness.

"Actually, it won't take long. At the speed of the main fleet, it only takes a little more than a day to cruise around the Alpha Star. According to the principle of nearby deployment, what comes should be the most elite Ark First Cruise Fleet among all fleets. , their stationed airspace is near the Zoghar Plain, and the journey from Leviathan is no more than six hours." Ke Lan took a look at the information he had just searched and said to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from directly below!

"Damn, what happened again?!" The hound suddenly jumped up from his seat. He didn't even bother to put on his helmet and rushed to the door. There was no observation window at the bottom of the cabin of this vertical lift aircraft. He thought To see the scene directly below, in addition to using the camera installed on the belly of the aircraft, the only way is to lean out from the hatch.

"Ke, Ke...um...cough..." The hound was about to say something, but was suddenly filled with a mouthful by the cold wind outside the cabin, causing him to cough violently.

"I saw it." Ke Lan grabbed the hound's shoulder and pulled him back. "Things have indeed developed in the worst direction..."

At this time, Layton had already projected the footage captured by the aircraft's belly camera onto the large screen in the middle of the cabin. The drastic changes taking place below were seen by everyone present.

The "blood sea" composed of crimson flesh worms seemed to be boiling at the moment. A large number of "blood flowers" continued to explode on its surface. Immediately afterwards, the rock formations below the blood sea trembled violently, and countless spider web-like A crack appeared on the ground, and the boiling insect tide seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent, and poured into the crack.

There were more and more cracks in the rock formations, and they were getting denser and denser. Underneath the rock formations, there seemed to be something that was constantly expanding, pushing up the rock formations above. Finally, after reaching the limit, the rock formations completely It shattered, and everyone on the plane finally saw "what's underneath."

It was a giant spine of forest white, covered with cracks. Many black columnar crystals grew out of these cracks and were entangled with the network of fleshy fascia outside, and these tightly wrapped the giant spine. The fleshy fascia is pulsing powerfully at this moment, and every pulsation is accompanied by a powerful contraction of the giant cocoon connected to it... Ke Lan can even see some kind of dark liquid being drawn along the channels inside the fascia. Pump everywhere.

"Is this...is this...really...impossible...this is Leviathan?!" Due to the shock, the hound had even lost the ability to organize language.

"Look! Those bugs! They... they are gathering on the bone surface... Oh my God, these, these fascias are actually formed by these bugs!" Ivan stared at the screen blankly, pinching hard with the thumb of his right hand. He held the tiger's mouth on his left hand to verify whether he was in a dream.

"These bugs, they 'formed' Leviathan." Ke Lan said softly, "Using human flesh and blood as nourishment, they filled the last gap."
