Alien Relic Hunter

But less than five seconds after Ke Lan and the others jumped out of the cabin, another team of contestants also jumped out and clung to them.

Valentina was the first to notice the tail behind her and said in the team channel: "Someone is following us."

"Is there someone who is trying to snatch the corner of this extremely poor person from us?" Ke Lan pulled the image of the monitor behind him in front of him, and with just one glance, he had already guessed the other person's purpose.

The three aircrafts trailed long purple and yellow trails behind them - the trails are one of the symbols used to identify the teams of players when skydiving, and the team represented by the purple and yellow colors was the one that lost in the opening match. To their "Angres Mecha Athletic Club".

"This group of people is here to seek revenge." Ke Lan said, "Let's pull to the left and try to stick to the edge of the safe zone."

Just as Ke Lan expected, the three of them had just turned in the air, and the three members of the Angres Club immediately followed them, not caring that the two teams had already passed through the area where the supply point was.

"These guys are really chasing after each other." Ke Lan lamented, but the other two people in the team were the kind of boring gourds who cherished words as much as gold, which made him feel like he was performing a one-man show.

"In this way, after landing, Asano Akira and I will be responsible for holding them back...Valentina, you rush to the supply point immediately, get the weapons and then join the battle - Asano, you should be fine."

"I will do as you say." Asano Akira replied.

Although he helped Asano Akira obtain an M5-level driving license before the competition, his actual driving level was not even that of an entry-level M1. In addition, he was blind and could not see the surroundings through the monitoring screen in the cockpit. Scene - all he can do is to follow the instructions given by Ke Lan and make the mecha perform some preset actions stored in the chip, that's all.

"Follow the movement route I gave you. After landing, run 165 meters ahead. There is a half-collapsed spiral tower, which is exactly tangent to the light curtain. That is the battlefield I planned." Ke Lan said.

"The entrance of the tower is located... Forget it, it won't be used later anyway. You can just start the propeller and jump up. Set the ascent height to sixty-five meters and the angle as vertical as possible... The area of ​​the top platform of the tower is not large. Be careful not to crash into the light curtain."

Fortunately, with the assistance of the ability to stop time, Ke Lan was able to transmit various motion parameters accurate to meters to Asano Akira's body. He felt like a puppet master in a fantasy game, manipulating the character's body at the same time. , while still having to concentrate on controlling the movement and fighting of the puppets he summoned... If there was no time to stop, he might not be able to take care of it at this time.

"Those people are biting hard..." Ke Lan glanced at the altimeter. The three of them were only the last hundred meters away from the ground. If they descend further, it would be time to activate the buffer jets, "It's now, Valian." Jingna, just raise the altitude and glide to the supply point, don’t save fuel, they probably won’t be able to react!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Valkyrie had already separated from the three-machine formation. Several propellers on the fuselage ejected powerful flames at the same time, pushing the body to fly towards the green cursor not far away, while the three pursuers behind it , then landed on the ground together with Ke Lan and the others.

"Quick, quick, take over the spiral tower first!" Ke Lan said. They had just landed. The only weapon on their bodies was the standard mecha fighting knife. Without long-range weapons, the heights were high. If you hit the low ground, you will have an absolute advantage.

The place he chose to land was an empty square. The spiral tower that was tangential to the light curtain stood so alone in the center of the square - before the Alpha civilization disappeared, this place should be regarded as their religious sacrificial site. , the mysterious and complicated patterned ditches in the square also illustrate this point well.

"May the blessings of the great gods last forever...May the blessings of the great gods cover all things..." Ke Lan silently recited the Alpha text hidden in the pattern in his heart, while with the assistance of the propeller, he half ran and half jumped The posture of rushing towards the spiral tower.

The three members of the Angres Club did not divide their forces to pursue Valentina. In their view, Ke Lan and the two who lost their ace pilot could not pose a threat at all. The best option was to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly kill them both. One, then turned his head, and the three of them attacked Valentina together.

Even if Valentina gets the weapon, she will be at an absolute disadvantage under the siege of three people.

It is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten of them. In a team melee, the number of people is always the most important factor.

When the three of them landed, they were about eighty meters away from Ke Lan and Asano Akira. When Ke Lan and Asano Akira arrived at the top of the tower, the distance had been shortened to less than thirty meters.

"I'll block the stairs. If they choose to use thrusters to fly up, you should know how to deal with it, right?"

"Yeah." Asano Akira nodded, even though Ke Lan couldn't see it at all.

There were many large broken stones scattered at the top of the spiral tower. Ke Lan directly pushed these stones down the stairs - although the rolling stones could not cause damage to the high-strength skeleton of the mecha, they could still hinder the movement. After doing so, the two Angres players who rushed into the tower were unable to move even half a step forward. They could only squat on the spot and raise their arms to resist the impact of the stones... After all, the edge of the stairs was right next to the light curtain. If the center of gravity is unstable and falls in, even the human body will be eliminated directly.

The ace pilot of the Angres Club chose the same method as Asano Akira to climb up the tower - he started the thrusters more than ten meters away from the base of the tower and flew directly up. However, before his feet touched the ground at the top of the tower, Akira Asano's mecha suddenly pounced on him and hugged him directly.

The skeleton used by Akira Asano is not the latest Phoenix prototype launched by the Yip Consortium, but a lightweight skeleton called "Jungle Scout Type III". In addition to being light and flexible, the most special feature of this skeleton is that it looks like It has two arms like a gibbon. Although the opponent immediately pulled out the fighting knife and cut off the power pipeline in the left arm of the "Jungle Scout", Asano Akira had already locked the joints long before that... ...Unless these two arms are cut off, the other party will not be able to break free from this "embrace".

After completing this action, Asano Akira entered another preset action into the console, and then jumped out of the cockpit from the emergency escape hatch on the back of the mecha.

This second action is a very common throw in unarmed combat.
