Alien Relic Hunter

"Cooperate? How to cooperate?" Yeger asked.

He suddenly realized that at this critical juncture, it no longer mattered whether Wilson was a human or a monster... On the contrary, if this guy had any hidden cards or any surprising abilities, Yeager wished that he was now Use it quickly.

Even if a tentacle came out of Wilson's mouth, it would be nothing to worry about.

As long as he can restart this damn machine, he can only successfully detonate those torpedoes...

"I don't mean to let you perish together with those giant deep-sea eels outside." Wilson said in a deep voice, "As long as you do what I say, we can all survive."

"Tell me what to do first?" Yeager asked.

No one is not afraid of death... Even if Yeager lost the will to live after Hans was killed, as long as anyone can see a glimmer of life in a certain death situation, the biological survival instinct will prompt him to move towards This glimmer of dawn comes closer, reach out your hand——

No matter how credible Wilson's words are, let's just be a dead horse at this time... Yeager thought.

"I will restart the control system of the body later, and then activate the hidden energy. After restoring control of the body, don't fight with these deep-sea giant eels, and rush directly to the underwater pyramid." Wilson spoke quickly, but He enunciated the words very clearly, as if he was afraid that Yeager heard him wrong, and the syllables of each word were spoken very standardly, "Those deep-sea giant eels will try their best to stop us, don't worry, you just need to use the thruster's output Just push the valve to the top, even if the propeller and engine will explode due to overload, it doesn't matter. As long as we can enter that pyramid, we can survive, do you understand?"

Yeager nodded. He was about to ask why Wilson was sure that he would survive after entering the underwater pyramid, but Wilson seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately added: "Time is running out, don't ask anymore, wait until it is safe." , I will tell you whatever you want to know.”

After saying that, Wilson took off the cover and put his right hand in.

Yeager didn't know what he had done. He only heard a piercing siren, and then all the extinguished screens lit up.

It's just different from the previous normal operation state. At this time, all the illuminated screens are red, and the numerical bars and UI that were originally used to check the body's status are gone. The only thing that can be seen is the outside. The monitor screen and the three-dimensional scan of the seabed topography downloaded from Yagunaktor.

Communication with Yagunaktor has not been restored.

Even though Yeager didn't know much about these things, he also knew that the system being restarted now was definitely not in a normal state.

"I can't even see the fuel remaining amount and injection angle of each thruster." Yeager said urgently, "How to control this?"

"It depends on your feeling." Wilson replied, "Although there have been some small changes in the control system, all the control circuits are still functioning normally. How you drove it originally is still how you drive it now."

"You mean you want me to control this machine purely manually without AI assistance? And under this condition?" Yeager asked rhetorically.

Thirteen of the sixteen external monitors of "Zokok Kai" have been destroyed. Of the remaining three monitors, only the one on the left front can still transmit external images back, while the other two Because the light used for illumination was lost, only a dark sea could be seen on the screen.

These monitors have infrared thermal sensing modes, but the problem is that whether it is the buildings in the underwater city or the deep-sea giant eels swimming around at high speed, the temperature and seawater are almost the same, and it is impossible to detect them from the thermal imaging images. See the difference.

As for the sonar, although it can scan the positions of those deep-sea giant eels, the refresh frequency of the sonar cannot keep up with the moving speed of those deep-sea giant eels. Every time it is refreshed, the scanned position can deviate greatly, let alone It is used for positioning. Even if you want to use it to judge the opponent's movement trajectory, it is difficult to do so.

At this time, "Zokok Kai" was like a blind man.

He is still a blind man with all his hands and feet broken and his body covered with injuries.

"You only need to control the body to move towards the underwater pyramid." Wilson said, "You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Don't worry about anything else..." Yeger was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that it seemed that... the deep-sea giant eels outside had not attacked "Zokok Kai" for a while...

Did they give up and change their targets...or was it because of some other reasons?

He subconsciously glanced at Wilson one more time.

Wilson's face was hidden in the shadows. From Yeager's perspective, he could only vaguely see that his cybernetic eyes were emitting the same red light as the screen.

Who is this guy? Yeager muttered in his heart, but did not ask out loud - he knew that even if he asked now, the other party would not answer.

"Okay." Yeager hesitated and carefully pushed the joystick forward, and the machine began to move slowly.

The angles of several thruster nozzles had been disrupted. When the "Zokok Kai" moved, it rolled several times in the water before barely adjusting its balance.

Thanks to Yeager being an experienced pilot, without relying on AI assistance and angle monitoring equipment, he adjusted the nozzle to the appropriate angle with just a few knobs and pushed the dilapidated body towards the submarine pyramid. drifted in the direction.

Yeager originally thought that after the machine started to move, it would be immediately besieged by giant eels in the deep sea... But several minutes passed without any movement from outside.

Those deep-sea giant eels that were frantically besieging "Zokok Kai" not long ago seemed to have disappeared at this time.

Even what Wilson said about "the giant eels in the deep sea will try their best to prevent us from approaching the pyramid" did not appear.

Yeager looked at the sonar display. The light spots symbolizing the giant eels in the deep sea had disappeared, and only the motionless building remains were left around the machine.

The underwater city once again fell into eerie silence.

"Where are those deep-sea giant eels? Where have they gone?" Yeger couldn't help but ask.

Wilson turned his head and glanced at Yeger. For some reason, Yeger always felt that the red light emitting from Wilson's prosthetic eyes was a bit scary.

Like blood.

"You'll find out soon enough," Wilson said carefully.

…

It didn't take long for Yeager to figure out what Wilson meant when he said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Although "Zokok Kai" has not yet approached the underwater pyramid, the dense spots of light displayed on the sonar are enough to make people feel numb - dozens, no, there should be hundreds of deep-sea giant eels hovering Around the underwater pyramid, it's like a gregarious beast guarding its lair.

"What...what are they doing?" Yeager took a deep breath and asked.

"It is the duty of these biological weapons to protect the ruins." Wilson said calmly, "They are just performing the tasks set by the manufacturer."

"Biological weapons? Manufacturer?" Yeger raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying that these deep-sea giant eels were all made by the Alpha people? Are they not indigenous creatures that evolved naturally on Alpha Planet?"

"Ha." Wilson suddenly let out a contemptuous laugh, "Indigenous creatures on Alpha Planet? The only indigenous creatures on Alpha Planet are the Alpha people. Except for them and foreign species such as prehistoric species, all creatures are The guinea pigs created by the Alphas... the guinea pigs creating guinea pigs, every time I think about it, I find it very ironic.”

"How do you know these things?" Although Yeager felt a little confused after hearing Wilson's words, he knew very well that these things were obviously not owned by an ordinary fitter from the engineering department of the God Hunting Group. Know the qualifications.

Even Major General Alexander, the commander of Fleet Zero, may not necessarily know these things.

Wilson shouldn't know these things, but Yeager didn't think his words were just random talk.

"I said, after entering the underwater pyramid, I will tell you everything you want to know." Wilson said, "Now, prepare to launch all the torpedoes, and then move towards the base of the pyramid at maximum speed. , there will be a door there, rush in, and we can survive."

"Charging forward against the torpedo's shock wave? I'm afraid the machine can no longer withstand such devastation." Yeager worried, "The machine will disintegrate halfway before it can get close to the pyramid."

"Before this, didn't you still want to die with those giant eels in the deep sea? Now they are gathered there, and the torpedo launch button is in your hand. For you, isn't this an excellent opportunity? Why are you hesitating now? Is it because there is no more threat of death?" Wilson asked one after another, "No, I tell you very clearly that we have never escaped the threat of death from beginning to end... You can try to back off , I guarantee that these deep-sea giant eels will rush up immediately and tear the machine and us into pieces."

"Then why don't they rush up now?" Yeager asked doubtfully.

"Because protecting the underwater pyramids has the highest priority, they must ensure the absolute safety of the pyramids before doing anything else."

"Then..." Yeager seemed to have guessed something, turning his head and staring closely at Wilson's arm that was still inserted behind the cover - Wilson's arm was also a cyborg. The prosthetic limb is just covered with a layer of silicone artificial skin that is very similar to human skin.

"Yes, I just restarted the control system of the body and launched three torpedoes in the direction of the submarine pyramid. The submarine pyramid was attacked, and these deep-sea giant eels had to go back to defend this highest priority 'first target' …until the threat is resolved.”

"No wonder... So, we can only move forward, not retreat, right?" Yeager took a deep breath and pushed open the safety cover of the torpedo launch button with his thumb.

"Yes." Wilson said solemnly.

"One more question, why do you want me to pilot the aircraft? Since you can launch torpedoes, you should also be able to control this aircraft through those control circuits, right?" Yeager shook the joystick in his hand hard. Asked the doubts in his heart.

"Directly connecting this level of prosthesis to the mecha's control circuit requires processing a large amount of data, which puts too much load on the brain." Wilson said. Only then did Yeager notice that Wilson's nasal cavity was constantly filled with sticky substance. Blood flowed from his nose and dripped onto the console directly below.

"Even that outrageous recovery ability is useless?"

"It's useless." Wilson shook his head. "It's time to move forward. There is not much time left for this body and this machine, and those deep-sea giant eels will soon rush up."

"Okay... as long as this machine body does not disintegrate." Yeager gritted his teeth, pressed the torpedo launch button heavily, then pushed the joystick to the bottom, and at the same time, his right foot firmly stepped on the propeller. Injection valve.

Even at the bottom of the water, he could still feel a strong push against his back, followed by a dull explosion along the seawater - and a terrifying shock wave half a second earlier than the explosion.

"To open the energy shield, just open the shield behind the body!" Wilson shouted, "Don't stop, charge forward!"

Yeager immediately did as he was told. He knew very well why Wilson asked him to activate the shield behind the body - the heat released by the energy shield would evaporate the seawater in contact with it into water vapor, and in the process it would produce A huge thrust pushed the body out like a cannonball.

The dilapidated "Zokok Kai" hit the sweeping shock wave head-on. Even the last monitor screen that could see the outside scene went black... But fortunately, the body did not disintegrate. Deadly seawater did not pour into the cockpit.

"Continue to accelerate forward. The air tightness of the cockpit is still intact. Don't worry about anything else!" Wilson urged. "These torpedoes cannot kill the giant deep-sea eels. They will attack us soon. We have to wait until we are entangled." Before you go up, rush in!"

"I know! I know!" Yeger responded repeatedly. He felt that the joystick in his hand was creaking, as if it would be crushed by him at any time. There were constant "bang bang" sounds around the cockpit. The screen shattered one after another, and the fine transparent powder flew around like stardust, and was dyed the color of blood by the weird red light.

The next moment, Yeager felt that the power on the feedback joystick disappeared - this situation can only mean two things: first, the feedback sensor failed; second, they had left the area with terrifying pressure and super High density deep ocean waters.
