Alien Relic Hunter

"You mean, because this is in the gray mist forest, but it is not covered by fog, so for these biological weapons, we are equivalent to being at high altitude... and the previous one who could only speak human language The monster, that is, Hruni, is not dead yet, so the gray mist cannot invade the interior of the battleship, and these biological weapons will not attack us." Thirty-three quickly figured out the connection, "Now Hruni is dead , this battleship is no longer 'fog-proof', and these biological weapons have also lost their fear... But this is not right. I just said that if these biological weapons are afraid of Hruni, then by all means Why do they dare to attack the warship when it is in the sky, but when it falls down, they have to wait until Hruni dies to appear?"

"Could it be just a coincidence?" Ivan said, "Could it be just a coincidence that the time when biological weapons appeared coincides with the time when Hruni died... Flying creatures must mutate into land creatures, even if they can do so at will Gene-edited biological weapons may also take several hours... Maybe just after the death of Hruni, those hatching nests happened to complete the cultivation of these new forms of biological weapons?"

"Ignoring whether it is a coincidence or not, if these monsters keep coming up like this, we will all be dead!" Mo Jue emptied another magazine. She had no spare ammunition, so she simply pointed the empty magazine hard towards The monster in the distance smashed over, "I only have the last magazine left. I think your ammunition reserve is not unlimited, right?"

"We don't need to fight these biological weapons." Ke Lan said, suddenly stopping the attack in his hand, "If the general direction of the analysis just now is correct, we only need to retreat into the gray mist, and these biological weapons will We will no longer be selected as attack targets. After the gray mist completely swallows up the wreckage of the battleship, they will naturally disperse."

"Really?" Mo Jue was a little doubtful.

"Just give it a try. You don't have to pay a high price anyway." The "living armor" on Ke Lan's body suddenly changed, turning into a full-coverage mask and a body-fitting protective suit— - He first rushed forward a dozen steps, and after attracting the attention of the two biological weapons, he turned around and ran into the gray mist not far away.

The two biological weapons that were chasing Ke Lan gave up the pursuit after Ke Lan got into the fog, and turned towards the Blasphemer mecha.

"This method works!" Ivan said excitedly.

The next second, Ke Lan jumped out of the gray mist again, raised his hand, and the invisible power of space directly crushed the heads of two nearby biological weapons.

"Everyone, fasten your safety ropes! In addition, take full body protection measures. We estimate that we will have to sneak in the thick fog for a long time." Ke Lan shouted loudly.

In this situation, it was impossible to use Ze Luo's power to expel the fog. Everyone had to let the thick fog engulf their bodies in order to avoid the attacks of these biological weapons.

"The Blasphemer mecha and I are covering, you hurry up!" Thirty-three took a step forward, and hundreds of black flying blades shot out, forming a "blade net" in mid-air, heading towards the front. The monster rushing in front jumped down. For a moment, the broken limbs were scattered on the ground, and the smell of blood in the air suddenly became stronger.

These biological weapons are the same as the mist perch that is separated from the main trunk. After death, the corpse will quickly degrade and turn into pus rich in nutrients, which will be absorbed by the soil. The mist perch will quickly absorb the pus that seeps into the soil, and Transport it to the incubation nest in the canopy and use it to manufacture a new batch of biological weapons... This recycling mechanism can minimize the loss rate of organic matter.

There is an almost endless supply of these biological weapons. As many as they kill, the Gray Mist Forest can produce... After the "Special Operations Fleet" entered the Gray Mist Forest airspace, they were in battle every moment. From the forest The countless biological weapons pouring out of the ship overwhelmed the entire fleet... They didn't even have a second to breathe.

Even if Ke Lan and the others had the presence of Blasphemer Mecha and Ze Luo, they could easily crush these biological weapons, but if they continued like this, they would only end up in one outcome - being piled alive to death by an endless sea of ​​monsters.

Ivan took out a spare safety rope from his backpack and connected everyone together again. Mo Jue also put on a spare set of protective clothing, put on a gas mask, and connected the oxygen supply bottle.

Several people had fixed the secondary safety ropes around their waists. Thirty-three was the last one to return. After he finished all this, he directly controlled the rope head forged with Nino alloy and buckled it on the Blasphemer machine. On the pull tab on the back of the armor.

"Valentina and the Blasphemer mecha are responsible for breaking up the rear and delaying entering the thick fog for half a second. The others must retreat into the fog at the same time as much as possible," Ke Lan said.

This is also done for safety reasons... If everyone in the team does not enter the fog at the same time, then the monsters that have "lost their target" may focus on attacking those who fail to "enter the safe zone and clear their hatred" in time. In this way, There is a high probability of casualties.

"Three, two, one, retreat." As soon as Ke Lan finished counting down, everyone who was close to the edge of the gray fog took a step back in unison and disappeared into the thick fog.

In this way, the only Blasphemer mecha still staying in the fog-free zone instantly became the target of all biological weapons - but when those biological weapons rushed towards them crazily, what greeted them was a A rounded heavy armor-piercing sword.

Valentina controlled the Blasphemer in a sweep, cutting open the bodies of more than a dozen biological weapons. Then, the reverse thruster located directly in front of the machine was activated, pushing the entire Blasphemer mecha to slide into the thick air. In the fog.

Those biological weapons did not chase into the fog.

"Huh..." Valentina had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly she felt the hairs on her back stand up - even though she was in the constant-temperature cockpit filling fluid, she felt a bone-chilling chill. Climb up from the toes to the neck little by little.

According to the original plan, the team would gather in a small area after retreating into the thick fog - they would not leave the battleship wreckage very far, but would wait nearby until the thick fog completely swallowed up the battleship wreckage, and the creatures After the weapons retreated, the search for the battleship continued...

Logically speaking, Ke Lan and others should be waiting for him behind.

But the problem is... through the image captured by the external sensor of the Blasphemer mecha, there is nothing around the machine except a thick gray fog that makes it difficult to see.

"Ke... Ke Lan? Ze Luo? Doctor Ivan?" Valentina tried to shout, but in the gray fog, the sound could not be transmitted very far... I am afraid she could only shout with her ears It can only be heard on the shell of the Blasphemer mecha.

No one responded to her, and there was silence all around, so quiet that one might even wonder if she was deaf...

Strong uneasiness seized Valentina's heart. She wanted to take a big breath, but all that poured into her nose and mouth was thick cockpit filling fluid.

She tried to operate the Blasphemer mecha and slowly stretched out her arms, using the position where the machine was standing as the center of the circle - if Ke Lan and the others had not moved significantly after retreating into the gray mist, the length of the Blasphemer's arms would , it should be possible to "acquire" them all.

The arms of the Blasphemer mecha moved in the thick fog, as if stirring a bucket of sticky gray asphalt... However, the arms of the Blasphemer did not feel like they were touching anything, and the entire machine stretched. His arms spun around in circles, finding nothing.

Could it be...that they have left this place?

Valentina felt her heart beating wildly. She subconsciously wanted to pull the safety rope fixed to the body, but found that only the lock at the end of the safety rope was hanging on the pull ring. As for the safety rope, The main body has disappeared at this time.

It can be seen from the break near the end of the rope that the safety rope seemed to have been cut by the sharp claws of those biological weapons... However, throughout the battle, Valentina clearly remembered that no monster had ever crossed it. The side of the Blasphemer Mecha, even if there is one, is outside the melee attack radius of the Blasphemy Mecha.

If you want to cut off the safety rope, you not only have to go around the back of the Blasphemer mecha, but you also have to close the distance to within five meters, so that the claws of the biological weapons can touch the safety rope - but the problem is, Before that, its head had been chopped off by a heavy armor-piercing sword.

"Why, why did the safety rope break..." Valentina tried to recall every detail of what happened just now, but the more she recalled, the more confused her memory became. Even the same scene appeared three times before her eyes. A completely different image.

"how so?!"

Valentina swung her fist in annoyance, and after her movements were reflected on the Blasphemer mecha, this punch directly made a large pit more than one meter deep on the ground.

No...must...must calm down...

Major Chi once taught me...the more dangerous the situation, the more calm we need...

Staying calm at all times is the most important quality of an ace pilot...

Even if the vehicle he is driving will crash in the next second...

Valentina wanted to think about corresponding countermeasures, but the more she thought about it, the more her mind went blank, and even the Blasphemer mecha made very humane movements of looking around blankly.

"Chapter 9, Section 11 of the Operations Manual, when separated from friendly forces... you should first conserve your own strength, and after confirming that there are no direct threats around you... look for the nearest scheduled assembly point or friendly base... No, No, these things are of no use in this situation!!"

Valentina suddenly missed the feeling when she and Ke Lan were conscious at the same time - Ke Lan would help her collect all the combat data and formulate all the tactical plans. She didn't need to think, she didn't need to think about why or What to do? She just needs to follow Ke Lan's orders and complete her tasks...

She was supposed to be a knife, a knife that could be held in someone's hand without the need for self-awareness.

When the hand holding the knife is released, the knife will no longer move, nor should it move.

Perhaps, as the destiny of the knife, it should lie quietly on the ground or stay in the sheath at this time, waiting until someone pulls it out again...or it will rust and rot until it turns into ashes.

"No...I'm not a knife, I'm not a weapon..." A scene flashed before Valentina's eyes that she would never forget in her life: she was lying on the cold metal floor of the battleship, with Ke Ke looking reproachful. Lan bent down and extended his hand to himself.

"He said... I want to live for myself." Valentina seemed to have been injected with a shot of cardiotonic, her lungs expanded violently, a large amount of filling fluid was sucked into her respiratory tract, and then she was forcefully Pump out.

"He hasn't given up on me yet...I can't give up on myself..."

"We must...find a way to save ourselves..."

Valentina immediately released the connection mode between herself and the blasphemer, and pulled out the emergency tool box stuffed on the floor of the fleshy driver's seat.

Open the box, put on protective clothing and protective masks, put on various equipment, and load firearms and bullets.

But just when she was about to open the cockpit, she hesitated again.

"No, this is wrong."

Her current behavior is in accordance with the requirements in the combat maneuvers - when the pilot is alone, if necessary, he can temporarily abandon the machine whose target is too eye-catching and act alone... But the problem is, the content in the combat maneuvers, in the gray fog forest does not apply.

What's more, for Valentina, she can only feel safe when she is sitting in the cockpit - especially when she is alone.

The Blasphemer mecha was not damaged and had abundant energy reserves. It was a rare combat power. It would be a bit stupid to abandon the mecha and act alone at this time.

The only thing Valentina needs to worry about is not to accidentally crush Ke Lan and the others while moving - even the Blasphemer mecha made by Alpha Civilization is looking for enemies in this thick fog. The radius has also completely returned to zero, and he is completely blind.

Valentina thought for a while and decided to move forward.

Although she would be attacked by biological weapons if she left the thick fog, this level of attack did not pose much of a threat to her. She planned to return to a place where she could conduct visual observations and adjust her condition before going. Find Ke Lan and the others.

The Blasphemer took a step forward.

The fog has not gone away.

Valentina subconsciously thought that the thick fog had spread a little further, so she controlled the machine to take the second and third steps.

The blasphemer failed to get out of the thick fog... and where the battlefield should have been, the corpses of those biological weapons were not found at all.

Although the corpses of biological weapons will degrade, the degradation rate is not very fast. The biological weapons that were just killed by the sweeping slash after recording should still have most of their corpses.

But the ground beneath the blasphemer's feet was only flat soil.

Valentina's heart, which had just calmed down, was a little panicked again, and she took a few steps forward.

Based on the distance, the Blasphemer should have hit the outer wall of the wreckage of the battleship at this time... But there was nothing in front of him.

[P.S. Thanks to Mu Xi for the 100 starting coins. 】

[P.P.S. The following plot will have Valentina as the main perspective. At the same time, after this section is written, I will write the timeline of the protagonist Ke Lan, and the plots on both sides will be interspersed to a certain extent... ...I just happened to be working on the remake of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" recently, and I also plan to try to see what effect it will have to advance the plot simultaneously through two lines. 】
