Alien Relic Hunter

"W-what?"

Although the three deadly monsters were less than fifteen meters away from the warrant officer, the warrant officer couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the sky.

He saw a mountain...a mountain floating in the sky!

This "mountain" is like an elongated water droplet, with a smooth surface glowing with the unique luster of Nino alloy, and a tapered tail covered with three rings that shrink in diameter in sequence - this is not a mountain at all, but a mountain. Some kind of aircraft he had never heard of!

It was so big that the warrant officer couldn't take in its entirety at a glance... If the thing wasn't flying high enough, he might not even be able to see the edge of the aircraft.

This thing floated almost silently over the Mukach base, like a cloud, without making any sound. Darkness enveloped the two warring parties without warning... At this time, even if the battle was the most intense In various places, people could not help but raise their heads and look into the sky.

An indescribable sense of oppression welled up from the lieutenant's heart. He suddenly felt that his throat was dry, and a burning pain was spreading... The three-headed erosion seeds had already rushed forward, and their elongated tentacles were facing him. It was struck in the head, but the warrant officer had no desire to dodge - before that thing appeared in the sky, he thought that the defenders at Mukah Base could fight the invaders. Even if they would pay a heavy price, it would not be impossible. They had a chance to defend the base... But when this thing appeared, the warrant officer suddenly felt that all their resistance was meaningless.

"Your mother is going to give you a hammer."

The warrant officer thought a little desperately.

If he read it correctly... the thing in the sky seems to be cast from ultra-high-purity Nino alloy. As a senior veteran, the Warrant Officer knows very well how dense Nino alloy is. He couldn't even imagine how powerful the driving device of such a thing was floating in the sky.

Even if Ark's fleet could arrive to support them, they would have no chance of winning.

It's better to just be killed by the Seed of Corrosion... At least, you don't have to see the tragedy of the entire base being bulldozed by that thing in the sky.

The warrant officer closed his eyes.

He could even hear the sound of the wind tearing through the air as the tentacles tore through it, and the fishy smell hit his face.

Damn it, if only he could have a cigarette in his mouth at this time - he remembered that in many movies, those free and handsome characters did this before they died.

Even if you don't have cigarettes, it would be nice to have a drink. If you had known, you would have just asked Pons to hand over the flask. Although drinking is strictly prohibited during duty hours, the Warrant Officer knows that there is always a tin hidden in the secret pocket on the inside of Pons's backpack. Exquisite wine flask.

It was filled with top quality wine.

This guy dated a girlfriend last year who was in charge of marketing high-end drinks. As a result, when the drunkard was bragging to his comrades, he never talked about how beautiful the face and body of the marketing girl were. Every time he mentioned his girlfriend, He said that he had sent him some top-notch wine - although many of these wines were defective products that failed to pass the quality inspection, but for these soldiers who could hardly return to the Ark for several months, they were definitely considered unacceptable. So many good things.

Many past events flashed before the warrant officer's eyes one by one, from when he first joined the army, to his first shot, to his first kill... The blurry scenes flashed like old slides, and those dust-laden scenes flashed before his eyes. Long-lasting memories keep flooding into my mind...

This is probably the legendary "revolving lantern" that appears before a person dies, right?

The warrant officer took a deep breath and waited silently for death to come.

The pain... shouldn't last long, right?

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but the tentacles that were supposed to hit him and tear his body apart never fell.

what happened?

The warrant officer muttered to himself, has this been ten seconds already? Why...am I still alive?

Could it be that the three monsters were attracted by other targets? That's not right. The tentacles were about to hit him just now. In less than half a second, he would turn into a corpse. There was absolutely no reason for them to stop in this situation.

The warrant officer opened his eyes a little and looked straight ahead——

The alley was empty, and the three erosion seeds disappeared without a trace.

"Um?"

The warrant officer opened his eyes completely - the three erosion seeds had indeed disappeared, but there were three pools of clear liquid on the ground. In these three pools of liquid, there were also a few small tentacle ends and a little transparent liquid soaked in them. Colorful pieces of meat, the nerve tissue in these "remains" has not completely died, and the muscles are still twitching rhythmically.

"Those three...Seeds of Corrosion...were killed?" The Warrant Officer felt that his brain was short-circuited. He would rather believe that the three Seeds of Corrosion had left the alley, rather than believe that they had turned into these on the ground. thing.

Even if someone takes action to kill the Seed of Corrosion, they won't even leave their bodies behind, right? Only a few seconds had passed, and that was all that was left of the three-headed corrosive seed that was larger than an adult man?

Even if active bullets were used to sieve them, it would take some time for the corpses to undergo necrosis and degradation... What's more, the warrant officer did not hear the sound of shooting at all.

Lying quietly in the liquid were several special warheads of active ammunition, which were 0.45-inch pistol bullet specifications. These were the bullets the warrant officer had just fired. The charges of these bullets were sufficient to ensure that they did not hit the core. It is impossible to have a fatal effect on the erosion seeds, let alone evaporate their corpses.

Could it be some kind of new active ammunition using soluble warheads, sniping from a distance?

The warrant officer looked around blankly. He was the only one in the alley. From this position, if he wanted to shoot from outside the alley and hit the three erosion seeds, the only angle would be...

He raised his head.

"It's impossible..." He murmured as he looked at the big guy floating above the base.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder suddenly rang. Although it was mixed with a lot of electrical noise, the warrant officer could still recognize Sergeant Pons's voice.

The other party's tone was extremely excited, even mixed with a hint of madness: "Warrant Officer! Warrant Officer, are you still there?! Look, look at that monster, the biggest monster that came out of the ground! That monster! And that one who suddenly appeared in That thing in the sky! I don’t know if it’s an enemy, if it’s our enemy… but it seems to be attacking that monster!”

Pons said incoherently.

Although the order of his words was extremely confusing, the warrant officer still understood what he wanted to express - the big guy that appeared above the base was attacking the "giant centipede."

How is this going? The warrant officer couldn't help but raise his head and take a deep look at the giant water drop-shaped aircraft... Could it be that this big guy is a friendly force?

We...Ark...when did humans have such weapons?

The warrant officer's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned his eyes to search the surroundings. Soon, he found what he was looking for.

It was a small building that was collapsed by artillery shells. The collapsed load-bearing wall happened to be leaning on another house that was not too seriously damaged, forming a slope for climbing. Along this slope, the warrant officer quickly climbed to the roof, took out his binoculars, and turned to look in the direction of the first blocking line.

That location is where the ground collapsed and the giant centipede broke out of the ground.

A faint, seemingly innocuous beam of light shot out from below the water droplet aircraft, shrouding the giant centipede in it. The giant centipede was struggling violently, but could not break free from the shackles of the beam.

The flesh and blood on the giant centipede's body was rapidly disintegrating, but the flesh and blood separated from it did not fall down. Instead, it completely ignored the gravity of Alpha Star and flew towards the big guy above...

The large amount of blood even formed a high-speed rotating blood column... This scene reminded the warrant officer of a weather phenomenon called "dragon absorbing water".

"Dragon absorbs water" is just a common name. In meteorology, the scientific name of this thing is called "tornado".

Tornadoes are caused by the rapid rotation of air currents that carry water vapor, dust and sand from the ground into the air. On the earth, the most powerful tornadoes are enough to destroy masonry houses and uproot trees weighing several tons... On Alpha Planet, the most destructive tornado recorded was the "Wilson Serpent 1" that occurred in Wilson Plain. The "Wilson Serpent 1" directly destroyed the "Wilson Military Base" under construction and caused the death of more than 500 soldiers and workers. One survivor said that he even witnessed heavy engineering weighing more than 100 tons. The tracked vehicle was swept several hundred meters into the sky by the tornado, and then fell down. Its power was no less than that of a two-hundred-mm-caliber heavy artillery firing a direct shot at the ground.

But neither the super tornado on the earth nor the "Wilson's Serpent No. 1" can kill the erosion seed. The institute even threw an erosion seed into a wind that was more than ten times stronger than the "Wilson's Serpent". times inside the fan, but except for a few tentacles sucked into the turbine that were cut off by the blades, the erosion seeds were almost undamaged.

This is just an ordinary erosion seed, and the physical strength of the mutant species is even higher than this.

As for this giant centipede, you must know that it penetrated the foundation of the base where more than 10 million tons of molten steel was poured... But now, its body seems to be made of paper - the paper used is still the same kind. Shoddy, low-quality toilet paper that will rot as soon as you pull it off without even touching it with water...

Moreover, if there really is a power that can tear this kind of monster apart, then the Mukah base may be razed to the ground. However, also shrouded in light beams, the building debris near the pit makes no movement at all. No.

Not to mention the spectacular scene of the entire house and car being sucked into the air, even the small gravel-like gravel did not move at all and lay quietly on the ground.

That beam of light seemed to only harm giant centipedes... The warrant officer noticed that there were many corpses of human soldiers on the ground in the area within the beam of light, but these corpses were also not affected in any way.

"Really... is it a friendly force?" The warrant officer turned the intercom to the public channel in a daze, but found that no one in the base knew the origin of the big guy in the sky, and everyone was asking similar questions.

Moreover, everyone also discovered another thing that shocked them extremely - the corrosive species that invaded the base, whether they were ordinary species or mutant species, died suddenly in an incredible way in an instant, and even one person died suddenly. No intact bodies were left.

Some people said that he saw with his own eyes the flesh and blood of the erosion seeds turned into a thin thread and was sucked into the air, sucked into the interior of the giant aircraft above.

If this big guy is attacking the giant centipede...then were the three-headed erosion seeds just killed by it too?

It killed the erosion seed and saved itself, but it did not attack itself...

The Warrant Officer believed that if this big guy wanted to kill the humans in the base, it would not need to expend any effort, but it did not do so.

Could this thing really be a secret weapon secretly developed by Ark's top brass?

wrong! With such a large volume, the resources and labor required for construction are absolutely astronomical. If there is such a project, it is absolutely impossible to hide it... Besides, it has only been fifty-one years since the Ark landed on Alpha Planet. Fifty-one years ago In a year, unless part of the ark is dismantled, there will be no time to build such a big thing.

Moreover, the shell of this thing is made of high-purity Nino alloy... In such a large amount, even if all the things containing Nino alloy in human hands are smelted out, it will only be a drop in the bucket.

There is absolutely no way this thing is a human creation!

Just as the warrant officer was thinking this, a slightly younger voice suddenly rang from the intercom microphone.

Not only his walkie-talkie, but all the communication equipment in the base, including the dumbfounded Lieutenant General Maginot and Colonel Levi's communication terminals sitting on the helicopter, also received voice messages from the public channel at the same time.

"There is no need to panic. This ship is codenamed 'Yagunaktor' and has been ordered to set off from the molten mine area to assist the Mukah military base. The operation number is SSTW5509, and the ship's temporary identification code is ZZZ999."

"The Molten Mine Area? Hasn't the Molten Mine Area already fallen? How could it come out of there?" Maginot asked in shock.

Suddenly, he felt that the young voice sounded familiar. He searched in his memory for a long time before he found a name that matched the voice.

"Are you...are you Ke Lan?! Ke Lan from the God Hunting Group?! Is that you?" Maginot completely ignored his image and shouted in the public channel.

Everyone in the base heard the name.

"It's me, long time no see, Lieutenant General Maginot. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." The young voice responded.
