Alien Relic Hunter

"Although I don't have a flamethrower, I have this." Layton said, removing a propeller from his backpack and pulling out a rubber tube from the inside of the propeller.

"Are you going to use the fuel in the thruster?" Seeing Leighton's actions, Ke Landang pulled Ze Luo back a few steps.

"Well, this is highly concentrated aviation fuel, and its combustion temperature can reach nearly a thousand degrees Celsius. If you step back further, be careful of getting burned." Layton said, pulling out one from the tool box he carried with him. After the atomizer comes, connect it to the front end of the rubber tube, and then slowly turn the pressure valve of the propeller with your thumb.

The aviation fuel separated into fine droplets by the atomizer was sprayed out from the rubber tube. A welding gun stretched out from the palm of Layton's other robot hand and moved towards the nozzle of the rubber tube. Go up.

The light blue flames flashed away, and the next second, the atomized aviation fuel burned violently. The flames came into contact with the wriggling black asphalt on the ground. During the "crackling" sound, a strong burnt fire erupted. The stench filled the hangar.

The substance of these substances that have been assimilated by the puppet individuals is still protein, and they begin to decompose rapidly after encountering high temperatures. Not long after, they turned into pieces of coke attached to the ground.

Ze Luo told Ke Lan that she constructed this body by simulating the black asphalt-like origin into the structure of proteins and other substances. The puppet individual's approach is exactly the opposite. She attempts to assimilate human tissues into something very close to their origins - the former is to use a substance with a more advanced form of existence to simulate a substance with a simpler structure, and there will be almost no deviation. The latter is almost impossible.

This is like asking a university mathematics professor to solve an elementary school math problem, or asking a primary school student to solve an advanced math problem that is only taught in college. Even if this primary school student is a rare mathematical genius in a century, the difference in difficulty between the two things cannot be calculated at the same level.

While Ke Lan was thinking about these things, Akira Asano quietly walked up to Ke Lan without anyone else noticing.

"I heard all the conversations between you and her." Akira Asano said softly to Ke Lan, "She... is not human, right."

Oversight!

Ke Lan was startled. When he was talking to Ze Luo, he was completely unaware of Asano Akira's abnormal hearing - even if they were nearly a hundred meters away, even if there was a "crackling" messy noise, Asano Akira They could all hear the conversation between Ke Lan and Ze Luo.

Although their conversation did not reveal Ze Luo's identity directly, the content alone revealed a lot.

"You were forced to keep it secret, in order to protect others, just like before." Before Ke Lan had time to explain, Asano Akira continued speaking on his own. He used a declarative tone and did not say anything in the sentence. Adding a question like "right" or "is that right" at the end made Ke Lan a little confused about how to respond.

"If you trust her, I will trust her too." Akira Asano hugged the scabbard and said expressionlessly, "I won't tell anyone about this."

"Aren't you... curious?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

"I'm not curious." Akira Asano replied, "Since you don't intend to let me know, it means I shouldn't know about this matter, at least not yet."

"You just believe me so much?" Ke Lan glanced at Ze Luo and then at Asano Akira.

Akira Asano nodded.

"Okay, about this matter, about Ze Luo, I will tell you when the time is right...but now, there are too many things involved. If the matter is leaked, the consequences will be even worse than mine. The secret being exposed is serious.”

"I understand." Asano Akira said.

Ke Lan's lips twitched. He wanted to say "thank you" to Asano Akira, but he always felt that this thank you was not appropriate here. What's more, given their relationship, there seemed to be no need for verbal thanks. .

"The battle that will happen later may be..." Ke Lan thought about it for a while, but could not find a suitable adjective. "It may be very... very outrageous, and it may seem a bit fantasy. That level of confrontation is not something most people would think of. There's no way to get involved. Maybe even Marshall's level of combat power can only protect himself... You and Layton shouldn't go up there, just protect yourselves."

"Yes." Asano Akira nodded again.

…

After using up the fuel for the two thrusters, the last puddle of "black asphalt" turned into coke. At this time, Ivan finally had the opportunity to treat the seriously injured experimental subjects.

"You all stay in the hangar. All the monsters inside the Greece have been cleared. There will be no more fighting until we see the BOSS... Just leave the rest to me and Ze Luo." Ke Lan said to everyone.

"What do you mean? Do you plan to be a hero alone?" Layton shouted with some dissatisfaction, "Even if there is no battle on the road, what about fighting the BOSS? Do you want to leave us all here?"

"Only Ze Luo can hurt that thing. No matter how many others go there, it will be useless. They will only increase casualties." Ke Lan said, "The mission of these believers is to escort Ze Luo and me to the BOSS. , their mission has been completed.”

"What about you?" Layton asked, "I admit, this little girl is a ruthless character, but what about you, Ke Lan? Let me tell you, in terms of combat effectiveness, you and I are still far behind, even if you are leading the way for this girl , I should be the one to go.”

"Do you think I will be killed, so you are rushing to die for me?" Ke Lan rolled his eyes at Leighton, and the latter's old face under the mask suddenly turned red: "Fuck, fart, I have many trump cards to save my life, I If you go, there is at least an 80-90% chance of escaping unscathed, but what about you, how can you guarantee that you can escape alive?"

"Your trump cards are useless against that thing." Ke Lan said, "This is an order. You three, stay here."

Ke Lan originally wanted to add "Waiting for me to come back", which would sound more powerful, but after thinking about it, it seemed as if he was setting a flag for himself, so he gave up immediately.

"Then I'll go with you." The speaker was Marshall. He walked up to Ke Lan and patted him on the shoulder. "Among these people, I am the strongest. And I am not you. Your subordinates do not need to obey your orders."

He took another step closer and said in Ke Lan's ear: "You should have seen the man behind the wall, right? Then you also know that I have only a few days to live, so shouldn't I do something in the last few days of my life?" Something crazy?"
