Alien Relic Hunter

"Hell... that guy is also a 'vessel'... Is this a brand new mutant species? A fusion of two erosion seeds?... Look at you, you still don't want to admit that you are a disaster star..." Ah Liao Sha thought sadly.

"I don't think so. The one on the big guy seems to be still in the parasitic stage - Alyosha, don't you find this unreasonable?" Ke Lan shook his head and said.

"Unreasonable? It's indeed unreasonable... Nothing that happened along the way is reasonable." Alyosha complained. Ke Lan suddenly felt that if this guy and the old dog were to meet, I am afraid that the two of them would be in trouble. Once the war of words starts, it is difficult to stop.

"That big guy must be a corrosive seed in the 'rapid transformation stage' or 'mature stage'. Is there no objection to this?" Ke Lan said.

"No." Alyosha immediately replied, "That kind of living armor will seriously damage the body tissue of the 'container'. The erosion seeds in the 'parasitic stage' cannot use this ability."

"Seeds of erosion in the 'acute transformation' or 'mature stage' will be driven by the desire to eat and attack all living creatures within sight indiscriminately. Is there no objection to this?"

"No - can you please stop playing riddles? This big guy is almost rushing to the center of the square!" Alyosha said anxiously.

"Then the question is, why are so many living people over there ignored by this corrosive seed, and instead they run towards us instead of looking far away?"

"This... you mean, the 'container' on the back of this mutant is controlling it?" Alyosha is also a senior agent after all, and he instantly understood the hidden meaning of Ke Lan's words.

"That's the only way to explain it." Ke Lan nodded, "Do you have a sniper rifle? Regardless of whether it's useful or not, you must at least try it."

Hearing this, Alyosha bent down and dragged the equipment box beside him, picked out a heavy sniper rifle from it and threw it to Ke Lan: "Kreber sniper rifle, .50 caliber, armor-piercing heavy warhead, four Heavy accelerating magnetic rails, instant charging arrays... To be honest, the power of this thing is actually comparable to those heavy weapons that are prohibited from being used on the Ark."

Ke Lan took the gun and glanced at the scope - the sighting system of this heavy sniper rifle comes with a computer-assisted program. It basically does not require manual adjustment. All you need to do is lock the target in the center of the crosshair and pull the trigger. It's easy. It is said to be a pure fool mode of operation.

"I need a shooting window... Major Ashkarni, how are the energy shields of these Bloodhounds cooling down?"

"Only Unit 1 and Unit 4 are equipped with energy shields. Unit 1's cooling progress is 28% and cannot be started. Unit 4's cooling rate is 51% and can be used but only for a few seconds." Ashkani looked at his hand. He looked up at the portable combat command terminal inside and said.

"A few seconds are enough." Ke Lan said, having already inserted a heavy magazine into the barrel of the gun.

"Then speak when you are ready." Ashkani nodded and quickly dragged his fingers on the screen of the command terminal a few times, while Ke Lan ducked into the window marked "No. 4" Behind the "Bloodhound".

"The energy shield is ready and can be deployed at any time." Ashkani stared at the screen and said solemnly.

"Open the shield!" Ke Lan said. He held the back of his gun and leaned behind the mechanical leg on the right side of the mecha. As long as he took one step forward, he could get a perfect shooting angle, but he would also be exposed to the rebels. Under intense firepower.

With a "buzz" sound, in front of the No. 4 "Bloodhound", a hemispherical energy shield extended, covering the entire mecha inside, and those stray bullets that fell on the shield were They were vaporized by the high temperature in an instant - even some heavy warheads with large masses turned into metal jets, which deviated towards the surroundings under the influence of the shield's constraining magnetic field.

Ke Lan seized this brief opportunity, stepped out, and locked onto the "controller" behind the mutant.

Energy shields work in both directions. Bullets from the outside cannot come in, and bullets from the inside cannot be shot out. But if you want to hit the target, there is only one way...

"close!"

Ke Lan shouted loudly. The moment the energy shield disappeared, he had already completed the series of operations of pulling the trigger, dropping the weapon, and turning around to hide in the bunker. The whole process took less than a third of a second.

As soon as he pulled his back foot back from the outside, a hail of bullets landed on the spot where he had just stood. Sparks were splashing on the floor again, and several ricocheting bullets even hit the clothes he was wearing. On top of the protective armor.

"Hit!" Alyosha cheered, "The upper half of that guy's body was lost..."

But the next second, his cheers stopped abruptly: "No, the mutants are still rushing towards us, they are not out of control at all!"

"That's just inertia. Let me help this big guy figure it out." Ke Lan said, pulling out three "active cell" syringes from the metal box Zofia gave him, loading them into the injection gun, and lifting them up. Shoot with your hands.

This time there is no need to aim accurately, just expose a muzzle and make sure the general direction is correct.

The three syringes drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then landed in front of the rebel position "without accuracy". Due to the angle, the needles made of Nino alloy were not able to be nailed into the floor. It was through the force of this fall that it bounced up from the ground.

However, the glass bubble used to store compressed air in the syringe still broke, and the active cells of the flesh-eating worm were squeezed out and scattered on the ground.

Immediately, the mutant species, which had almost rushed to the front of the "Bloodhound" mecha, stopped. Its huge body shook violently for a few times, and then it turned around and ran towards the rebel position. ——And the speed is faster than before!

Alyosha and Ashkani were dumbfounded by Ke Lan's series of operations. The former was silent for several seconds before he squeezed out a sentence: "The active cell injection bomb can still be used." To guide mutant species..."

"I learned this trick now. Didn't you just use the larvae of flesh-eating worms to lure the erosion seeds? Although the dose of active cells in the injection bullet is very small, there are no other interfering factors on the battlefield, and the distance is also small. Even if it’s far away… I was afraid that the temptation wouldn’t be strong enough, so I took three injections at once.”

At the moment when Ke Lan and Alyosha were talking, the mutant had already rushed to the front of the formation under the fierce firepower of the rebels. It first licked up all the active cells scattered on the ground. Immediately afterwards, it went crazy and pounced directly into the panicked crowd of rebels!
