Alien Relic Hunter

Zhuoli Getu could see the drone's scan, and Ke Lan and others behind him could also see it.

"Fucking... it's all red zone... there's no safe place to stay..." Layton stared, holding the drone's joystick tightly in his hand, swinging back and forth in this fold— —But the results of every scan are the same. The entire fold zone is a dazzling bright red... This means that this area may collapse at any time.

"Otherwise, let's give up." The hound sighed, "Even if the person in the rescue cabin is rescued, he may not be able to be saved. It's not worth taking the risk for a half-dead person."

"We've come this far, and I'm not willing to give up." Zhuo Ligetu said with heavy breaths. Although the power armor served as an aid, he climbed over four folds in a row and was still in a state of high mental stress. The physical exertion is extremely terrifying. Even this strong Mongolian man had to stop and give himself a shot of stimulant and a booster.

"I want to try." Zhuo Ligetu's breathing became slightly more stable, "The rescue cabin is already so close to me, there is no reason to turn back now."

"Leiton, tighten the cable and be ready to save people at any time," Ke Lan said.

"I know, I kept pulling, and I let it out centimeter by centimeter." Leighton said nervously, his arms tightly holding the rotating shaft wrapped with steel cables, which was as high as the thickness of a thumb. The strong steel cable was stretched straight - if Zhuoligetu lost his footing and fell into the crevice, this would be his only hope of survival.

Zhuoligetu bent down, arched his body and began to touch forward. He first put his hands on the sides of the folds, and after making sure that the part in contact was enough to support his own weight, he then shifted his body's center of gravity little by little.

"Okay, there's no problem here." He seemed to be saying to Ke Lan and the others, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "Next step..."

The steel claws of both hands popped out and cut into the rock. Zhuoligetu began to gradually increase the strength on his arms. At the same time, he raised his right leg and kicked the hooks of his toes into the slope.

It took him a full five minutes just to climb one step.

The flashing frequency of the orange signal light in the rescue cabin has changed to once every three seconds. The condition of the survivors is already very critical, but no one dares to tell Zhuo Ligetu - no one dares to rush him, for fear that he will Mistakes occur due to anxiety.

After another twenty minutes, Zhuoligetu finally fixed the steel claws on the top of the wrinkled spine. As long as he used the force to drag his body up, he would basically have successfully climbed over...

But at this moment, a crisp "click" sound came from his ears.

Zhuoligetu froze immediately. He felt as if his heartbeat had missed a beat. His whole body hung there, not daring to move. He even held his breath.

"Is it...an illusion?"

He waited for almost five seconds, but nothing happened.

"It must be an illusion..."

Zhuo Ligetu calmed down and slightly increased the power on the steel claw——

"Kakakakakakakaka..."

This time, a series of clear cracking sounds sounded inside the folds, which also made him sure that the sound he just heard was not an illusion... But he was too late to jump off the folds, and the top of the folds collapsed instantly. It broke, and the steel claws originally fixed on it were decoupled, and he completely lost the place to draw strength!

"Crash-"

The sound of the collision between gravels was a mess, and Zhuoligetu felt that his mind went blank - a strong air flow spurted out from below. He knew that the ground under his feet had completely collapsed, and this air flow was not enough. Hold his body, and soon he will fall into the magma!

…

"Retract!!" Ke Lan yelled hoarsely. Layton turned the spool with all his strength, the steel cable was retracted crazily, and the ground was constantly breaking. Zhuoligetu was always hanging on the edge of the cliff. Why? Can't even climb up there.

"Keep retracting!" Ke Lan shouted, "As long as the speed of retracting the steel cable can exceed the speed of the ground collapse, we can pull him back!"

"I know! This is already the fastest speed! The wheel axles are starting to get hot. We can't go faster!" Leighton shouted with red eyes. The mechanical arm grasped the handle of the rotating shaft and kept turning. The inside of the rotating shaft "squeaked" The friction sound of "squeaking" is endless.

"You must leave here immediately!" I don't know when, Aya Breya also ran over, "The entire compression zone has begun to collapse, and there is no chance that the outer areas will also fall into the magma!"

"We will not give up on our teammates." Ke Lan glanced at her and turned his head back. He was already prepared to snatch Zhuoligetu back even if he was forced to start and stop.

The hound's answer was even more straightforward: "What kind of fart did you fart? Get out of here!"

One hundred meters, fifty meters... Under the traction of the steel cable, the distance between Zhuoligetu and Ke Lan became smaller and smaller, and the entire squeeze zone was like dominoes being toppled, constantly Collapse, falling - if you turn your attention to the ultrasonic scanning image of the drone at this time, you will find that the remaining green areas of the entire compression zone are rapidly turning orange, and then from orange to red.

A thousand-mile dike breaks into ant nests, not to mention that this squeeze zone is full of "ant nests".

From the perspective of Ke Lan and the others, they could no longer see Zhuo Ligetu. They could only see the steel cable racing against the collapsed ground——

Those folds collapsed one after another, rubble rumbled down the cliff, and the cracks on the ground spread and expanded rapidly toward the outside. Ke Lan felt as if he could hear the sound of lava flowing underneath.

Finally, less than ten meters away from Ke Lan and the others, the trend of ground collapse finally stopped, and Leiton also pulled Zhuoligetu, who was "hanging" on the other end of the steel cable, from the cliff with a strong tug. The bottom was lifted up.

Only then did everyone notice that Zhuoligetu's hands were holding on to the rescue capsule.

"...You don't want to die? You just kept holding on to this thing and didn't let go?" Seeing this scene, the hound instantly cursed.

Until his feet stepped on the solid ground, Zhuo Ligetu's body was still in a tense state. He tightly grasped the ring on the rescue cabin with both hands, and how could his bent knees and calves... Neither can return to an upright position.

"Relax, relax." Ivan rushed to his side immediately. He just touched it through the power armor and knew the problem.

"My legs... my legs seem... cramped, but... I don't know why... I can't control it..." Zhuoligetu said tremblingly.

"Well, I know, the muscle spasms are so severe that I have to give you a shot of relaxant, but the side effect is that you will have to rely on power armor to drive your legs for the next twenty minutes."

"fine……"

Ivan took out two syringes from the medical kit, one for analgesics and one for muscle relaxants. He opened a flap on Zoligatu's leg armor and inserted the needle into the emergency injection hole reserved on the armor. inside.

With the injection of the medicinal solution, Zhuoligetu's pale face softened slightly. He held on to the rescue cabin, sat down slowly, and began to breathe heavily.
