Alien Relic Hunter

We must find a way to destroy this laser scalpel!

As a high-precision scientific research equipment, the laser scalpel itself, especially the laser emitting component, is actually very fragile. It does not take much effort to smash it.

But the problem is, how can Lin Qiming and the others destroy the laser scalpel outside without opening the hatch?

Lin Qiming's first reaction was the porthole on the hatch - this piece of porthole glass is fixed to the hatch with expansion bolts. Compared with the one-piece hatch casting, this piece of glass is the only "piece of glass" on the entire door. "Weak point", with the equipment held by Lin Qiming's team, they can completely dismantle the laser scalpel before the group of hijackers outside adjust it.

Then they only need to shoot outside through this window, and they can easily destroy the laser scalpel that is close at hand.

But on second thought, Lin Qiming immediately rejected the idea.

The porthole on the hatch is in the shape of a nearly rectangular oval, about 25 centimeters high and less than 20 centimeters wide, which is nearly twice as small as the porthole on the fuselage that connects to the outside.

Even those who have practiced "bone shrinking skills" may not be able to get through such a small opening, let alone the group of hijackers outside.

But just because people can't get through it doesn't mean that the "seed of erosion" in their bodies can't get through - the body of the seed of erosion is a soft-bodied creature similar to an octopus. According to the experimental records of the institute, the volume and weight of one head are An adult man's mature erosion can easily pass through a pipe the size of a bowl. The only thing that can limit their "deformation" is the diameter of the hard "core" in the body.

As for the erosion seeds that have just entered the mature stage from the rapid transformation stage, the "core" is about the same size as an egg. With the size of this porthole, it is enough for more than a dozen erosion seeds to get in at the same time.

The firepower of Lin Qiming and the others was completely insufficient to deal with the attack launched by more than a dozen erosion seeds. This fragile defense line would collapse in an instant.

If they remove the porthole glass now, they will be providing convenience to this group of hijackers.

This approach won't work.

Lin Qiming breathed in the blood-smelling air in the first-class cabin, his brain running rapidly - he suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

He shouldn't think about how to intercept the hijackers from the direction of the cargo bay. Even if he succeeded in keeping them out, it would only be a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. Even if they can hold on to the first class cabin, the rescue team outside the plane may not be able to rescue them safely.

If you want to completely solve the hijacking incident, you should first find a way to regain control of the plane!

They, who are inside the aircraft, are the key to the entire rescue operation... They have advantages that external rescuers do not have.

Now they have taken control of the first class cabin and separated the cockpit and cargo hold. Although this separation is only temporary, it is enough for them to do a lot of things during this time.

On the other side of the cockpit, there were only two hijackers pretending to be pilots. In terms of combat power and number of people, the Crisis Management Department had an absolute advantage.

Lin Qiming couldn't help but want to slap himself on the ear - probably because of the intense overtime work these days, his brain was damaged, and he didn't even think about such a simple thing... From the beginning, he should have focused on the key points It's better to put it in control of the plane!

"Two groups stay in the first-class cabin. If the direction of the cargo compartment is breached, try to delay as much time as possible! One group, follow me, and we will get the cockpit back!" Lin Qiming shouted.

…

…

"Sir, the radar has detected the target, right below us." The man driving the fighter jet was Ke Lan's old acquaintance and one of the two pilots on the previous transport plane who was implicated in the scandal. At this moment, he was holding the control stick of the plane tightly with both hands, staring closely at the radar screen directly ahead, and lowering the altitude of the plane bit by bit.

In the entire Zero Fleet, his driving skills are considered to be among the best. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to fly a plane for an "important person" like Ke Lan.

"I saw it too." Ke Lan stood on the passenger seat, holding the cockpit cover with both hands, pressing his face against the cabin glass, looking down, "It's very close, the visual distance is about less than Three hundred meters.”

"According to the information sent by the fighter formation dispatched by the First Fleet, the target has been flying due north and has not changed its course." said the pilot captain.

"Actually, I really want to pursue them. Maybe I can find an important stronghold of a heretical sect... But I'm afraid that the other party has already prepared, and it will be difficult to save people by then." Ke Lan said.

"Actually, it's quite difficult to save people in this situation..." the pilot captain muttered quietly.

"Keep the course consistent with the target, shorten the distance as much as possible, and notify the First Fleet fighter formation following so that they are ready to respond at any time." Ke Lan glanced at the landscape directly below, which was a vast plain. ——According to his plan, the worst scenario is to completely destroy the transport plane during the fight with the hijackers. In this way, the researchers on the plane will have to parachute to escape. If it falls on the plains, that's fine. But if it flies a little further forward and enters the intersection of the White Ridge Mountains and the Yongshuang Mountains, the search and rescue difficulty will be greatly increased.

"Relative distance, one hundred and seventy meters, relative speed, zero." The pilot captain said, "The other party's radar should have discovered us, but they don't seem to have taken any countermeasures."

"Maybe they are holding important hostages in their hands and they think we will not attack them, so they are confident." Ke Lan said, "Can we get any closer?"

"I'll give it a try." The pilot captain nodded and pressed the joystick in his hand slightly to control the fighter jet to keep getting closer to the Hercules transport aircraft below.

"Relative distance, twenty-five meters, twenty-three meters, twenty meters... relative speed, zero... we can't get any closer. At this distance, as long as the hands of the other pilot and I shake a little, the two planes will They will collide directly."

"I remember during aerobatic performances, wasn't the minimum distance between flight formations only a few meters?" Ke Lan asked.

"Sir... you also know that it was a stunt. Those pilots have been partners with each other for decades. The team members are more trustworthy to them than their right and left hands... and the pilot of the plane below I don’t even know if he has a formal pilot license, so I definitely don’t dare to take this risk.”

The pilot captain paused and then added: "Of course, if that guy from Mesa is driving the transport plane below, I would dare to stay within five meters."

The Mesa in his mouth refers to the lieutenant pilot who was in the co-pilot seat of the transport plane. Counting the time in the Zero Fleet, the two have been partners for exactly ten years.

"Sixteen meters... This is the limit distance that I can react in time to avoid." The pilot captain said, "Sir, are you really planning to just... jump into a gang?"

"Yes." Ke Lan patted the pilot's shoulder, "Get ready, I'm going to open the hatch."

"Understood." The pilot captain grabbed the oxygen mask and placed it on his face. He raised his left hand and gave Ke Lan a thumbs up.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Lan opened the hatch of the cockpit.

A strong stream of air suddenly hit his face, hitting the raised hatch cover with a constant crisp sound. Ke Lan tightly grasped the ring on the edge of the cockpit to prevent his whole body from being pulled out by this strong airflow.

It was not the first time for Ke Lan to "jump gangs" at high altitudes and at high speeds... But before this time, he had done this in computer games...

Even in virtual games, such difficult operations cannot be completed 100% every time.

The reason Ke Lan dared to do this was that even if he failed to jump to the gang, he could still make another "hard landing" with his living armor at this height, unless he crashed directly into the air intake of the transport plane the moment he jumped. , then we can only try to see whether the active armor is stronger, or the high-speed rotating alloy blades in the transport aircraft's air inlet are stronger...

"Three, two, one."

Ke Lan recited three numbers silently in his mind, and then jumped!

The moment he left the cockpit of the fighter jet, countless bright red blood had already drilled out from every pore on his body, and in the blink of an eye, a set of strange-looking armor was formed on his body.

…

…

Hercules transport aircraft, interior, first class cabin.

Lin Qiming and his men were about to raid the cockpit when they suddenly heard a loud bang from above the plane. With the loud noise, the entire "Hercules" transport plane seemed to shake slightly.

"What's going on?" Lin Qiming was stunned for a moment and looked up at the top of the plane.

"Deputy Section Chief...could it...could it be that the people above have decided to shoot us down?" an operator from the crisis management department said with a worried look.

"No." Lin Qiming shook his head, "If the higher-ups decided to shoot down this plane, we would probably have crashed by now."

Lin Qiming is very aware of the firepower configuration of the active fighter jets in Ark's main fleet. The cluster laser cannon only needs one shot to disintegrate a transport aircraft without an energy shield. Although the Hercules is called a "heavy transport aircraft", But this heavy refers to its powerful transport capacity, and does not mean how thick the armor is.

"I feel like something hit the plane." Another older and more experienced crisis management officer said, "Listening to the sound, the location of the impact seems to be in the direction of the cargo bay."

"Direction of the cargo hold..." Lin Qiming's heart tightened. Although his reason told him that what he should do now was to seize the time and occupy the cockpit before the first-class door was cut open, but for some reason, he always felt a hard feeling in his heart. The suppressed impulse was to let him find out.

His intuition told him that this loud noise might be the key to breaking the situation... and his intuition was always accurate.

"You will lead the team. After breaking into the cockpit, no matter whether the opponent resists or not, they will be killed. Remember to use active ammunition to reload the gun. There is no need to save bullets." Lin Qiming patted the older operator and said.

"What about you, deputy section chief?"

"I'll go over and take a look..." With that said, Lin Qiming got up and ran towards the cargo hold.

And when he rushed to the cabin door, he happened to see the death of the last hijacker through the porthole - an arm completely covered under the blood-red armor pierced the hijacker's chest from behind, with a sharp The sharp claws grabbed a "core" wrapped in blood and minced flesh.

The next second, this claw directly crushed the "core". As for the drop of bright red blood-like substance in the "core", it was sucked up by several small tentacles that suddenly appeared on the surface of the blood-colored armor. Clean and tidy.

Those tiny tentacles appeared and disappeared so fast that Lin Qiming had hallucinations - he was completely unsure whether what he just saw was real or just a figment of his mind.

The hijacker, whose chest was penetrated, fell to the floor with a pop, revealing the figure standing behind him.

The strange-looking bloody armor exuded a strong ominous aura. Although Lin Qiming knew that the other party was probably not his enemy, driven by instinct, he just wanted to stay as far away from the armor as possible.

What made him feel fearful and resistant was not the person wearing the armor, but the armor itself...

Although he had never seen this thing, his intuition told him that this armor was alive and had vitality... Although he didn't know how it was tamed by the wearer, if this thing got out of control, it would definitely It would cause an unimaginable disaster.

The danger level of this armor is even higher than that of SP level mutants.

"Perhaps, only the true form of the 'meme'... or an existence like the prehistoric species can suppress it?" Lin Qiming thought.

Of course, if he had witnessed the scene that day when Ke Lan was wearing living armor and tearing Seraphim apart, he probably wouldn't think so.

Lin Qiming did not know the existence of the living armor, let alone the connection between it and Ke Lan. As for the officers and soldiers who had seen Ke Lan in this state with their own eyes, they were all issued the highest level of silence order to ensure that the information was not disclosed. Will be leaked.

"Who...are you?" Lin Qiming held the pistol tightly with both hands, aimed at the "uninvited guest" on the other side through the door panel, and asked in a dry voice.

"Ah...it's Deputy Section Chief Lin, long time no see." The bloody armor raised his hand and waved towards the porthole.

Although the sound coming from inside the armor seemed a bit dull, Lin Qiming was no stranger to this sound.

"Ke, Ke Lan?!"
