Alien Relic Hunter

The first moment the black shadow appeared, Ke Lan had already activated time stasis... However, the speed of the black shadow was far faster than Ke Lan's reaction. Even in the stasis state, Ke Lan only captured a vague virtual image. Shadow, and the other party's true body has already hidden behind the stone pillar.

Layton was right, it was indeed a humanoid creature, but it was nearly three meters tall - the tallest among Ke Lan and his team was the 1.95 meter biochemically modified human Leighton, but This thing is much higher than Layton.

But contrary to Layton's strong figure, this creature's figure is very thin. Just like the palm they have seen now, this thing is so thin that it can be described as skinny.

But on its shoulders, there is a very huge head.

Ke Lan couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but vaguely, he seemed to see that there was more than just two eyes on the other person's face.

The line of sight between the two sides only touched for a very brief moment, so short that even Ke Lan's mind had no time to generate a corresponding image.

Rather than running, it is better to say that the creature is teleporting... If it were converted into a digital image at 120 frames per second, the entire process would probably not exceed one frame.

"It's that hand... right?" Hound took a step back and stood side by side with Ke Lan.

"That weird, uncoordinated body proportion... is indeed exactly the same as that palm." Ke Lan nodded, "It's very fast and I can't catch it."

"Old dog, you take command. You are more experienced than me in combat." Ke Lan said proactively.

"Okay...if it's fast, there's only one way to deal with it." The hound gestured to Layton, "Can it achieve fire coverage?"

"It's difficult." Leiton looked bitter and shook his head. "The stone pillars here are too dense and there are many blind spots for attack. It is impossible to achieve full coverage."

"Then let's stay away from the stone pillar and wait for it to come out... There is no bunker for it to hide in the fifty-meter open space in the middle." The hound said, "We are ready to stand ready."

Layton pulled out a metal cylinder hidden in the hidden compartment of the mechanical arm and threw it into the open space ahead - before the metal cylinder even hit the ground, thousands of alloy particles spilled out from it, scattering On to the ground.

This is a kind of miniature electromagnetic landmine. As long as the target comes into contact with one of them, the other alloy particles will immediately attract to the triggered one, and then release a powerful current - no matter how fast the speed of that thing is, It's impossible to get through this minefield unscathed.

But no one expected that the screams came from behind.

When Ke Lan turned around, he happened to see Martin's abdominal cavity being torn open by a slender, pale hand, and greasy intestines mixed with blood and filth flowed out of the tear - and in his Behind him, the monster finally revealed its true appearance.

It has limbs and torso similar to those of humans. The rugged frame is covered with a layer of gray-white rough skin covered with sores. Its fingers are almost twice as long as normal people, and its sharp nails are stained with bright red blood. .

On its neck, there is a huge head that is completely out of proportion to its body. Viewed from the front, it looks like a severely deformed spoked melon (Note 1). On the front of the head, it is Like a shower head, there are dozens of eyes of different sizes embedded in it.

"When did it come from behind?!" The hound shouted while shooting, but the monster lifted Martin in his hand and blocked it in front of him. All the bullets fired by the hound hit the target. After hitting Martin, none of the shots could hit the monster.

"Is this another monster, or the one just now? How can it be so fast?" Leiton roared, he had already opened the energy shield, protecting Ke Lan and Qin Zhao behind him, holding in his hands The multi-barreled machine gun began to rotate, but it took a long time to fire.

The three body bags containing teammates were at the feet of the monster. If Layton swept past them, no one could guarantee whether the monster would use the body bags as a shield again.

It is very fast and has a high level of intelligence. These two points alone are enough to make people feel troublesome.

"This thing... it won't run anymore..." The hound quickly put on a loaded magazine, "look at its eyes, it has several eyes staring at the body bag on the ground... damn , this thing is smart! It knows that we will use the enemy's weapons and does not dare to use heavy firepower!"

"Let me come! You cover!" Zhuoligetu suddenly let out a low roar. He pulled out a Mongolian scimitar with a thick back from his waist and rushed directly towards the monster!

"Old dog! Layton! Let's attack the eyes on its head first! Predict its movements before shooting, and try not to accidentally injure your teammates!" Ke Lan said. At this time, Zhuo Ligetu was only a few meters away from the monster. Less than three meters away!

He roared again, throwing the scimitar in his hand directly towards the monster's face, and he himself suddenly bent down, pulled the two body bags on the ground, and quickly retreated.

From the very beginning, Zhuoligetu's target was not the monster himself, but the body bags it took as "hostages". The previous fierce and fierce stance was actually an element of bluff. A little more.

"Well done!" shouted the Hound. "Leyton, pick him up!"

As soon as the hound finished speaking, Layton used the sudden burst of power from the exoskeleton and mechanical prosthetic body to jump forward and push the shield to the front.

And the monster was retreating quickly! It grabbed Martin, who was still alive and dead, with one hand, and picked up the remaining body bag on the ground with the other. In just half a second, it opened a distance of more than 20 meters from Ke Lan and the others, which forced the hound to do it again. The trigger was released.

"Damn it, this damn thing can even take hostages!"

"I always feel... it can understand what we are saying." Ke Lan opened his eyes wide and looked directly into the dozens of eyes of the monster. For some reason, he always felt that the monster seemed to be smiling.

The next second, the humanoid monster suddenly turned around and got into the shaft where Ke Lan and the others came down!

"It's going to escape?!"

[P.S. Note 1: Radix melon: an indigenous plant of Alpha Planet. The fruit shape is similar to chayote on earth, but its individual volume is more than ten to fifteen times that of chayote. It is named because it often grows in the radiation zone. The pulp contains high doses of radiation and cannot be used as food. Although the juice extracted from it has certain industrial value, the purification steps are cumbersome and costly, so this species has not been included in the list of commercial crops, and no large-scale research has been carried out. Large-scale artificial cultivation.

The institute has initiated a project to try to improve the varieties of spoke melons, but the progress has been slow. 】
