Alien Relic Hunter

But that's not all yet...

The hollowed-out bottom of the well only held up for less than half a second before suddenly collapsing. The dilapidated lifting platform continued to fall with Ke Lan and the others, completely out of the scope of the well.

The surroundings were no longer smooth and flat, but were replaced by rocks full of large and small holes like volcanic rocks. These rocks were extremely fragile and shattered under the impact of the lifting platform - they continued to fall for nearly After more than a hundred meters, they came to a halt. Almost half of the bodies of the two mechas were buried in rubble... Fortunately, no one in the mecha was injured except for being a little dizzy.

"This place...is the bat rat's lair?" Valentina manipulated the machine to stand up from the rubble. She looked around. Many of the large and small holes were flashing with little bits of blood. Light——These are all underage bat rat cubs. As for the adult bat rats, they have been killed by Valkyrie or crushed to death by the falling lifting platform.

I have to say that the quality of this lifting platform is quite good. It is nearly 1.5 meters thick. It is made of multi-layer composite alloy. Judging from the luster, it seems that a lot of Nino alloy has been mixed in. If it is dropped from such a high place, it still can't be lifted. By the way, it penetrated the bat and rat nest more than a hundred meters deep, and the platform itself was only slightly deformed.

"If you have tools, you can cut this platform enough to make more than a dozen heavy shields." Ke Lan muttered and walked to the winch - only then did he realize that the safety device of the winch was not damaged for no reason. Yes, the blood of the bat rats that Valentina had just slaughtered almost covered the entire platform. This blood not only corroded the connectors of the thrusters, but also corroded the small parts inside the safety devices.

"I didn't expect that I would end up falling into the hands of these little things." Ke Lan sighed and cast his gaze on the compass on the head-up display - fortunately, there is no magnetic field interference in this place and all detection equipment is working. It was good, and communications with the outside world were not cut off. At a depth of nearly four hundred meters, the machine could still receive messages from the event organizers.

When they landed here, three more people were eliminated. Now, including the three of them, there are only 19 players left in the field.

"But things don't seem to be as bad as imagined. Anyway, as long as we get into the top four, we can advance... If we have been hiding underground, maybe we can get into the top four. Now I hope that the area of ​​​​the bat rat's nest will be the best." It would be bigger...if it could go all the way to the center of the safe zone, that would be great," Ke Lan said.

"Can you win like this?" Valentina asked.

"It's definitely impossible to win, but at least those strong teams can eliminate the lone wolves fast enough, and we should be able to advance before the poisonous circle catches up with us."

Since the signal is not blocked, it means that the locator built into their body is still functioning. In this way, even if they do not come into contact with the light curtain, as long as the positioning shows that they are outside the range of the light curtain, they will also be detected. disuse.

"Climbing doesn't mean climbing up. These rock formations are too brittle and cannot support the weight of the machine body - just dig, dig towards the center of the circle, as far as you can."

The standard combat dagger is actually not suitable for excavation operations, but compared to the engineer shovel in the emergency tool kit, the dagger blade used for mechas is still much wider, not to mention the rock formation itself is as crispy as a wafer biscuit. Just insert the dagger into it and stir it vigorously to make a big hole.

The speed of the two machines in the bat rat's nest is not very fast, but at least they will not encounter other competing teams here. The only thing they need to pay attention to is not to use too much force and collapse the entire nest. .

In less than ten minutes, four more people were eliminated, and the remaining number became 15.

The event organizer's broadcast also sounded in the headphones of every remaining player: "Only half of the remaining participating teams are left in the field. Now the electronic map will be unlocked for each participating player..."

Eight teams left? Ke Lan was slightly startled. According to this calculation, there will be no more than three full teams left.

"Are there so many lone wolves... In addition, if our team is also fully staffed, at least one team that came out of the super resource point has experienced attrition... This is nothing more than two situations: they encountered other teams siege, or encounter another team that has captured a super resource point..."

As soon as the broadcast ended, a zoomable electronic map suddenly appeared below the line showing the remaining number of people. Through this electronic map, the contestants could not only know their own coordinates and the scope of the safe zone, but also You can see the coordinates of other contestants on the field.

Your own units are green dots, refreshed every second, while the enemy's units are red dots, refreshed every 120 seconds.

Ke Lan and the others' current position has entered the lower city area. According to this attrition rate, even if they stand still, they should be able to enter the top four before shrinking the circle.

Based on the distance distribution between the red dots, Ke Lan found that there were exactly three full formations left on the field, a remnant team of two people, and four lone wolves.

But what made him dumbfounded was that the green dots of the three of them coincided with the red dot of a lone wolf. It looked as if the two sides were fighting hand-to-hand - but the fact was that the lone wolf was right there. On the ground above them, there was at least a hundred meters of rock formation between them.

"There has been no attrition information in the past half day. Could it be that the other teams thought we were forming an illegal team..." Ke Lan thought to herself, and couldn't help but glance at the small surveillance drone that had been following them - at least the organizer of the event Fang and the audience can see their current situation, but the other contestants don't know it.

It was okay for Ke Lan and the others, but the situation for the lone wolf on the ground was not so good: the moment the map was unlocked, he noticed three red dots overlapping with his own, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped out of the driver's seat. Bounce up - according to the ratio between the map and the actual arena, the distance between these three enemies and him would not be more than 20 meters, but he didn't see anything.

There were only ruins all around. He controlled the mecha to circle in place. He always felt that a black barrel would stick out of every window of every building at any time.

"The enemy...where are the enemies hiding? Three against one, why don't you take action...Are you trying to trick me? Why can't I see anything? They...could they have gotten the optical camouflage armor? Supply point Is there such a thing in there?" The pilot's palms were covered with sweat, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster... After spinning around in circles for seven or eight times, he simply calmed down and picked up the plane through gritted teeth. The cannon fired indiscriminately at the surrounding area.

As soon as the machine gun sounded, the nearby teams immediately focused their attention in this direction——

"It's the direction where four marked points overlapped before!"

"They finally started fighting?"

"If it's one-on-three, the battle must be over. These should be the two remaining teams..."

"But why is there only the sound of one weapon? This should be a 35mm caliber four-barreled rotor cannon. If it can be suppressed by this weapon, the equipment of the other team must not be very good."

"Let's go 'break up the fight'!"
