Alien Relic Hunter

The explosion caused by that might not necessarily destroy the power room, but it would definitely be enough to kill everyone in the reconnaissance team!

Fortunately, this area is relatively empty, leaving a lot of space for everyone to pull, and there is no need to rush to fight these bugs full of flammable and explosive items.

They began to retreat, stretching the formation of the insect swarm as much as possible, and then used precise bursts to deal with the individual individuals on the edge of the insect swarm.

"This efficiency is too low..." Hound couldn't help complaining, "It feels like I'm full of energy but can't use it at all."

Although others did not complain like him, his words touched everyone's hearts.

More and more bugs are crawling out of the giant pit, and the pressure on the reconnaissance team is also increasing. However, they do not dare to pour out all their firepower for fear of triggering a large-scale serial explosion. This feeling of being helpless is really It makes people feel frustrated.

But Ke Lan couldn't think of a better solution for a while - unless he could find a way to delay the self-destruction of the lava larvae.

At this moment, Asano Akira suddenly took a step forward, walked to the front of the team, and said softly: "Let me do it."

"Are you coming?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, and there was a moment of hesitation in his heart - although Asano Akira is the one with the highest personal combat power among them, it is taboo to deal with things like lava canthalyts in close combat. !

Even if you can split these bugs, it is difficult to avoid the self-destruction launched by the bugs when they are about to die... It is enough to deal with one on one, let alone face hundreds of bugs.

"Well, I'm sure." Akira Asano nodded, "Last time, after fighting Marshall, I can feel that my ability has become stronger, and I can deal with these bugs."

"Has your ability... advanced?" Ke Lan thought for a long time before he found such a word that is common in fantasy training systems but rarely used in reality.

But only this kind of vocabulary can be used to describe the kind of superpower unique to telekinetic experimental subjects.

"Well, I feel like I'm almost breaking through that shackles... I'm just a little bit close to reaching the level that Marshall described to me."

"Ideology materialized?" Ke Lan looked at Asano Akira with some surprise - the handsome young swordsman closed his eyes and held the scabbard with one hand. His other hand did not touch the handle, but the scabbard The sharp blade in his hand seemed to come alive, it automatically popped out and fell into his hand.

Asano Akira threw the sword to the ground, and the sharp tip of the sword suddenly sank a few inches into the ground - as if what they were stepping on was not a solid rock, but a piece of tofu that could be broken by a bullet.

Ke Lan couldn't help but frown. It was a good thing that Asano Akira became stronger, but Marshall had also told him that this kind of ability was not something that the human body could bear.

The reason why the telekinesis experiment failed is because the body of the experimental subject cannot withstand the load caused by too strong mental power. Even an eighth-level enhanced person like Marshall cannot bear the negative effects of this ability. Even if Asano Akira continues Strong, it is impossible to be stronger than Marshall.

Ke Lan looked at him worriedly.

From the outside, no changes can be seen at all, but Ke Lan can feel that an independent space seems to have formed a few inches around Asano Akira. This is the "absolute control field" that has begun to take shape, and it is also A symbol of mental power approaching the limit of materialization.

"Be careful and don't force it." Ke Lan warned.

"I know." After saying that, Asano Akira removed various parts of the power armor from his body.

"Wait a minute! Asano Akira, what are you doing?" The hound who saw this scene asked, "Why did you take off your armor?"

Although the power armor equipped by the reconnaissance team is not as good as the two prototype armors provided by the Ye Consortium, it is not a mass-produced model that can be purchased casually. Each piece is a custom-made armor based on the top individual power armor currently on the market and based on the design template of the reconnaissance team members' stature and abilities.

Although he can't withstand the "resonance" caused by dozens of lava beetles exploding at the same time, he can still withstand one or two close-range explosions. But now that he takes off his armor, the self-destruction of a single lava beetle can kill him. His body exploded into pieces.

Even for high-level enhanced people, the strength of their flesh and blood bodies is not as strong as this expensive alloy armor.

The act of taking off the armor, in the eyes of the hound, is completely seeking death.

But Akira Asano just said calmly: "The flexibility of the power armor is too poor and cannot keep up with my reaction."

The hound was stunned for two seconds, and then he managed to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth: "I'm asking you to pretend now... If you are missing arms or legs later, don't worry, I will be the first to come over and laugh at you."

"What if Asano Akira isn't showing off?" Asano Akira didn't take over what the hound said, but instead, Layton said something for him.

"Then even if he is really awesome..."

Asano Akira took off his power armor, leaving only a breathing mask and a can of oxygen hanging behind him. He placed the scabbard on the ground, held the sword in both hands, and bowed slightly——

"Everyone! Stop shooting in five seconds!" Ke Lan made a fist with his right hand and raised it high.

"Get ready to cover Asano Akira." He added, "Five, four, three, two, one -"

The moment the gunfire stopped, Asano Akira rushed into the swarm of insects. Ke Lan couldn't even see his movements clearly without starting and stopping, leaving only a series of blurs on his retinas. afterimage.

The next second, a mutated larvae of a lava beetle was lifted into the air.

After the mutant larvae had reached a height of nearly fifty meters, an imperceptible sword light suddenly flashed across its body. It was cut in half, and it could even be seen through the flat cut. Cross-section view of internal structure...

These bugs...even the surfaces of the organs in the body are covered with uneven, tiny crystals.

The cut mutant larvae exploded violently after a short delay, but at this height, the aftermath of the explosion had already been weakened a lot by the time it reached the ground.

For other larvae, this shock wave is at best a strong wind pressure. It cannot reach the threshold for them to self-destruct, and naturally it will not trigger a chain explosion.

"Good guy, is this okay?!" Layton couldn't help but open his mouth, and watched in astonishment as Asano Akira cut into the insect swarm alone, lifting all the mutant larvae that were close to him into the air.

He even controlled the flying angle very accurately. Each mutant larvae that was carried away was kept far enough apart in the air to prevent interference with each other and cause "resonance".

As for how he delayed the "split" of the mutant larvae's body, Layton couldn't understand it at all.

He only remembered that in many movies with cold weapon fighting scenes, in order to highlight the speed of the knife and the sharpness of the blade, after the blade passed over the body, it often took a few seconds for the knife to appear on the neck of the person. A thin "red line", and then the body and head were separated.

If you want to make it more exaggerated, in these few seconds, you can arrange a few lines for the dying man, or take a few more staggering steps, and then let the blood spurt onto the camera, and finally Zoom out and take in the entire battle scene - in this way, the tension in the camera is almost instantaneous.

(P. S. With a little bit of personal information, I would like to recommend "Kill Bill", one of Quentin's masterpieces of violent aesthetics. The scene where the protagonist kills Ishii Oren at the end of the first film uses a similar shooting technique.)

"So strong!" Zhuo Ligetu whispered, and couldn't help but hold on to the battle ax hanging on his waist - it was his usual weapon. In the past, he was still very confident in his melee fighting ability, but after seeing After the strength shown by Asano Akira at this moment, Zhuoligetu began to doubt whether he could survive three moves under the hands of this man who was fairer than a girl.

No... let alone three moves, he might be dead in the first move...

The dense swarm of insects couldn't get close to Asano Akira - not because Asano Akira dodges fast enough, but because all the mutated larvae that pounced on were lifted up by the tip of the knife, and no one was missed.

With just one person's strength, he killed an enemy directly in the middle of the insect swarm, splitting the insect swarm into two parts.

Layton and others who have been with Asano Akira day and night are so surprised, let alone Aya and his men. Their expressions now can be said to be as exciting as they are exciting. One of the agents, who carried a heavy sword and seemed to also prefer melee combat, almost knelt down to watch Asano Akira's performance.

"He...isn't he the...failed product of the experiment...why..." Aya said incoherently, "Are all the people who were eliminated...so...exaggerated?"

"Don't ask me, I rarely see Akira Asano use his full strength." Ke Lan glanced at her lightly, "There should be archives of information about this group of people in the Security Bureau. You can check it out yourself."

Although Ke Lan is also surprised, he will not show this surprise on his face - his younger brother is awesome, so he, the boss, can naturally "share" this awesomeness. At this time It would be a shame to show the same amazing expression as others.

To show off, of course you have to put on a complete set to get it right.

"Asano Akira, can you try to divide the insect swarm into several small pieces, so that we can easily eliminate individual individuals and speed up the eradication?" Ke Lan said in the team communication channel.

Although Asano Akira took off his power armor, he still wore his headphones.

He did not speak, but directly responded with practical actions - after piercing the insect swarm, he shot another carbine, separating several mutant larvae in the corner of the insect swarm from the large army.

"Concentrate firepower and prioritize the lone larvae!" Ke Lan immediately issued a new order.

…

This battle only lasted less than half an hour. Because of Asano Akira, what was originally a hard battle turned into a boring target shooting game - of course, the word boring is not used to describe him, but It is used to describe Ke Lan and his group of audiences who spend most of their time "watching the show."

In the words of Hound, even if this clip is cut directly into the movie, there is no need for post-production staff to add special effects. The ghostly movement and miraculous swordsmanship are already fantasy enough in themselves.

…

Looking at the corpses of mutant lava larvae lying on the ground, Ke Lan began to count the number of lava larvae crawling up from the bottom of the giant pit.

"The total is 176." Akira Asano apparently started counting the moment he rushed into the swarm of insects. Ke Lan gave the accurate number before Ke Lan counted one-third.

"176...exactly the number of eggs a female lava beetle lays in a single time."

Ke Lan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Although there is no shortage of food in this place, it will undoubtedly take a long time for the lava beetles to change their cannibalistic habits... The ancestors of these mutated lava beetles may have arrived here thousands of years ago. It thrives here until today.

This means that...in this power room, at the bottom of this giant pit, there is probably a huge group of lava canthus.

The group of mutated larvae may only be a very small part of the entire group.

"This place seems more dangerous than the tunnel..."

On the other side, the hounds and Zhuoligetu picked up a large number of lava canthalyte joints. They piled these joints on the ground and asked Layton to use a flamethrower to roast the surface of the joints until they were carbonized, and then used a dagger to pry open the joints. Scoop out the hot white meat inside and put it in a plastic bag.

"What are you doing?" Aya Breya asked curiously.

"You didn't know that!" The Hound chuckled, "Although 99% of the indigenous creatures on Alpha are inedible, lava beetles belong to the remaining one percent."

He continued: "The abdominal sacs used by lava beetles to store 'fuel' have extremely high radiation content and are highly toxic, but their joints are very clean. Although the meat inside the hard shell has a fishy taste and a rough texture. , but it contains no radiation, is not toxic, and has a protein content that is at least five times that of synthetic beef... Don’t the agents of your field team ever run out of ammunition and food when performing missions?"

"...No." Aya shook her head, "We will bring enough supplies."

"Then what if something unexpected happens? Just like this time."

"Among the things listed in the wilderness survival tutorial that can be used as food... there is no such thing." Aya bit her lip lightly and said a little stubbornly.

"Oh, I've seen that thing. Every recruit in the field force has a copy. But no one takes it seriously. There are less than twenty kinds of food listed in total, most of which are very rare plants. If If you strictly follow the instructions in the book to find food, many people will have already starved to death. If nothing else, the joints of this lava canopy are much stronger than the gray potatoes mentioned in the book - ha! In terms of nutrition, Whether it’s value or side effects, it’s completely exploded.”

"But the risk of killing lava beetles is far greater than collecting gray potatoes." Aya retorted.
