Alien Relic Hunter

These erosion seeds crawled out of a ruins about five hundred meters away from the ruins of the building. Almost in an instant, they climbed over the obstacles that were insurmountable for Ke Lan and the others and approached the ruins of the building.

"Why is there only one team? This is different from what was predicted!" Layton said anxiously, "If they find out that this S-type mutant was sniped from a distance, it will be troublesome!"

"It seems it's not lively enough..." Ke Lan stared closely at the three B-type mutants rushing at the front. When they rushed into the wreckage of the building, he pressed the detonator without hesitation. Button——

"boom!!!"

A huge explosion came from the bottom of the building's wreckage. Where the building's wreckage and the fractured plate came together, Ke Lan affixed a total of six pieces of highly concentrated viscous explosives. These six pieces of explosives were almost equivalent to 120 kilograms of TNT. , the impact of the explosion instantly diagnosed the edge of the fractured plate that was already full of cracks. One end of the building's remains lost its support and fell into the magma.

The mechanical snake's perspective instantly tilted to one side. In the darkness, various debris in the building could be vaguely seen sliding to one side, but the erosion seeds fixed its body with the help of its tentacles. It didn't fall down here along with those things.

However, the balance of the building's wreckage has been broken. After one end fell into the rift, the other end, which was leaning against the rock formations on the other side, was no longer firm and began to show signs of slowly sliding down. It was only a matter of time before the entire wreckage fell into the magma river. That’s all.

But before the ruins of the building were swallowed up by the hot magma, Ke Lan had to squeeze out the last of its value - using it as bait, something as big and heavy as this was perfect.

He pressed another button on the detonator. For a moment, there was loud gunfire in the wreckage of the building and on the shore, as if several armed squads were firing at the same time. Although they were all small weapons, the greater the number, the greater the momentum. It is extremely impressive - under this temptation, several groups of erosion seeds left their hiding place, and the group closest to the boulder where Ke Lan and the others were located was actually only a hundred meters away.

"It is basically certain that the distance between each node of the control network composed of S-type mutants is 500 meters. Currently, seven nodes have been exposed. In other words, this area has been cleared." Ke Lan said on the side As he spoke, he circled an irregular area about three kilometers in diameter on the holographic projection map, and shared the data with everyone in the reconnaissance team.

"In this direction, at least until we reach this boundary line, we will not encounter the enemy again." Ke Lan continued, "Hurry up and wait until the wreckage of the building completely slides into the rift valley and the charges in those decoy bombs are exhausted. , the 'commander' who controls these seeds of erosion should come to his senses."

"We just left like this? What will we do when we return?" Aya asked worriedly, "They...these seeds of erosion, will they expand the search range? What if we collide with them head-on? what to do?"

"I have no intention of returning the same way. After completing the task, we will directly cross the mining area and go out from the other direction." After Ke Lan finished speaking, he took the lead in climbing down the boulder.

In the distance, more and more erosion species gathered next to the rift valley. There were more than a dozen S-type mutants alone. The tentacles on their heads were trembling violently, as if they were exchanging information at a high frequency. And those powerful B-type mutants kept jumping towards the wreckage of the building, burrowing in through various doors, windows and gaps.

It won't take long for them to discover that the enemy is not inside the ruins of the building at all, but by this time, Ke Lan and others have already moved away from the area.

…

In order to leave the area controlled by these erosion seeds as soon as possible, everyone in the reconnaissance team was running almost as fast as they could. At this time, no one could care about the problem of fuel consumption. When encountering a crack, they would directly activate the jetpack. Jump over, and when you encounter faults and cliffs, you can fly over them at full speed. The efficiency of travel has increased several times compared with before.

But as a price, the small amount of fuel in the jetpack was completely exhausted, and the more difficult path in the second half of the journey could only be completed with their feet.

"What kind of crappy propeller is this? Why can't it be powered by crystals?" Hound complained. "This fuel is heavy and not durable. I pressed the injection button twice and lost half of the storage space. I climbed over a ten-meter-high building. Half of the cliff was used directly... Isn't this thing too rubbish?"

"There is no way. The energy crystal converters that can be mass-produced at present are extremely unstable in high-temperature environments. They must be used with thick insulation shells and water-cooling devices. Moreover, the converters themselves are also very large. In addition, the type of crystal converters that use crystal The weight of the high-power injector that supplies energy... then each of us must carry at least another two hundred kilograms of weight, which is completely contrary to the concept of infiltration with light equipment..." Layton patted the hound on the shoulder comfortingly , "Look at it, old dog. At least the converter built into the power armor can still be used. Otherwise, you really can only wear the kind of nuclear-powered armor with a small reactor on the back... You don't want to carry a mini-reactor on your back." Are you running around in an environment of several hundred degrees?"

"Then the suit of armor you and the doctor wore last time on the mission didn't have this problem? I think that thing was quite lightweight?"

"That's the prototype of the Ye Family Consortium...it hasn't been put into mass production yet. It was just lent to us last time. Now they have taken it back to collect data." As he spoke, Layton suddenly lowered his voice. , and switched the communication channel from the team to one-on-one, "Even if that thing is mass-produced, the price will definitely be an astronomical figure. It may not be a problem to equip everyone in our hunting group with one set, but they... …”

He gestured with his eyes to the Security Bureau agents who were following Aya Breya, and continued: "They will definitely not be equipped with such high-end equipment unless we use our pockets to pay for the Security Bureau."

"If you ask me, these guys are a burden." Hound said with some displeasure, "They have no ability, they insist on following us, even the equipment is lagging behind and we have to spend money to upgrade it... In this world How can there be such a stupid thing!"

"There is nothing we can do. This is the result of Ke Lan's negotiation with the higher-ups of the Security Bureau. According to their original plan, the group of people camping outside were also going to follow us into the mining area."

"Haha..." The hound twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, "Will you follow me to give those group of erosion seeds a snack?"
