Alien Relic Hunter

Four people and one mecha rode down the lifting platform at a high speed. Although they had already understood the general structure of the hive from Kristen, when the bottom of the hive actually appeared in front of them, they still felt something in their hearts. Some vibrations.

"Good guy, have they really built hundreds of hives of this size?" The hound sighed in a low voice, "With the amount of work at this level combined, I'm afraid even Noah's Ark can build one. Are you in formation?"

"Don't forget that Yagunaktor was built by this hive civilization. I suspect that this civilization may have reached the threshold of a second-level civilization." Chi Hanfeng continued.

"Second-level civilization still needs to huddle in an underground shelter?" The hound muttered, "What on earth did they encounter..."

"Who knows..." Chi Hanfeng said.

He has now fully recovered, but because he failed to choose armor just now, he has been staying in the cockpit of the Blasphemer mecha, while Hound has given him the task of coordinating the command of the team.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the lifting platform lowered to the bottom and stopped moving.

"We're here now?" Zhuo Ligetu took the lead to walk out of the lifting platform and looked around, "We should still be at the bottom nest now... Below the bottom nest is the lower city area, and further down is the upper city area..."

"It seems that this elevator can only take us here, and we have to find the rest of the way ourselves." Ghost Owl said, looking around warily with a gun in his hand.

"Be careful, I think this place is evil," said the hound.

"Where is the evil?"

"I can't put it into words, it just makes me feel uncomfortable..." Hound looked around, "If I have to say something that makes me uncomfortable, it would be these buildings... they are too compact and dense, almost everywhere They are all places where you can hide. If a street fight breaks out in such a place, it will definitely be a nightmare."

"Wouldn't it be better to just cover it with firepower?" Zhuoligetu weighed the heavy ax in his hand, "These buildings look like shoddy construction at first glance. They can be used as hiding places, but they cannot be used as bunkers... They don't even use weapons. , you can get through it just by relying on this armor."

"That's right..."

The Blasphemer mecha was the last one to step off the lifting platform, but just as the Blasphemer's feet stepped on the ground of the bottom nest, the entire bottom nest suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, and a large amount of white smoke came from every corner. Squirted out!

A language that the hounds could not understand rang out in the bottom nest, echoing under the empty dome.

If Ke Lan were here, he could translate this sentence to them: "If an intruder is detected, start the cleanup process immediately!"

"What's going on?" The hound was startled and immediately wanted to retreat to the lifting platform. However, as the alarm sounded more and more urgent, the lifting platform actually rose directly to the dome, revealing a bottomless wellhead.

"That Kristen didn't tell us about such an incident!" Hound said anxiously, "Did Ke Lan also come here like this when he came in?"

"We seem to have triggered the defense mechanism of the hive city..." Chi Hanfeng said, "You were fine when you stepped off the lifting platform just now. Only the Blasphemer mecha set foot on the ground of the hive city, and the alarm sounded. Here we are, it seems that only the Blasphemer mecha has been recognized as the 'invader'... Is this probably because this mecha was made by the Alpha civilization?"

"Are the Hive Civilization and Alpha Civilization hostile?" Ghost Owl asked, "Then if we give up the body, we shouldn't be attacked, right?"

"If you give up the blasphemer at this time, you really have a brain problem... The defense mechanism has been triggered, and we must all be regarded as intruders. The chance of winning is somewhat higher if there is a blasphemer..."

The hound wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chi Hanfeng: "The Blasphemer's vibration detector showed that something was coming, a lot of them! Three o'clock, six o'clock direction! Moving speed 150 More than ten yards, high mobility, metal reaction, quantity, more than two hundred!"

In fact, Chi Hanfeng didn't need to say it, Hound and the others had already seen it - hundreds of "robots" jumping back and forth between buildings, quickly approaching them.

These robots are all humanoid, with torsos, limbs and heads, but the body proportions are very slender. The slender torso can really be described as "full of hands", especially when jumping and moving in a prone position. It looks like a huge "stick insect".

These robots were divided into two types: "melee" and "long-range". The "melee" type relied on its terrifying maneuverability to surround the team, while the "long-range type" occupied the nearby commanding heights and began to attack with "finger cannons" them.

Each hand of the "long-range" robot has five "fingers". Except for the thumb, the other four fingers are gun barrels, which can fire high-power pulse lasers with a very high hit rate... Fortunately, pulse lasers The power is not great, and the armor on the hounds alone can resist them, not to mention the energy shields of the Zoligatu and Blasphemer mechas in front.

“Da da da da da—!!”

Hound's six heavy machine guns fired directly at the same time, and a large number of shell casings quickly piled up at his feet. These powered armors came with a fire control system. He didn't even need to aim, the mechanical arm would automatically fine-tune it. After control, Continuously change targets while maintaining strength.

The robots approaching them were knocked down by the dense firepower net. As for the long-range robots, they were also reduced by the precise killing of the Blasphemer mecha. Although the battle was fierce, there was actually no pressure on them at all.

"These robots don't seem to be very strong." Hound removed the overheated barrel and replaced it with six new ones. Compared with the other three, he killed the largest number of robots, but the amount of ammunition consumed was also the same. biggest. Fortunately, they brought enough ammunition this time, and there were several boxes on the external shelves on the back of the Blasphemer mecha, which could fully support a high-intensity battle.

"These don't seem to be pure robots..." Ghost Owl relied on his armor's speed to pick up the remains of several robots that were relatively close. Everyone discovered that, wrapped in a metal shell, there were still things inside the "robots" Similar to parts of biological tissue, these parts of biological tissue are not even dead, and there will be a very obvious stress reaction when poked with a dagger.

"Biochemical robots?" Chi Hanfeng whispered, "Then it makes sense that these robots are so agile... It is difficult for a purely mechanical structure to make such sensitive movements."

"Whether it is a purely mechanical structure or a biochemical robot, they are just a group of miscellaneous fish... If the defense mechanism of the hive city only reaches this level, then I am confused - even a few of us can get in, Why can't Alpha civilization enter?" Hound asked a question.

"According to Kristen, the Alpha civilization cannot enter the nest because of the residual power of the 'gods'... However, most of this power remains in the Yunding and upper city areas, and there should not be much in the bottom nest and lower city areas." Zhuo Li As Getu said this, he held up his shield and began to push back. Several robots rushed forward, but before they could touch him, they were knocked to the ground by the giant ax and crushed under their feet.

"Be careful of the top of your head." Chi Hanfeng warned aloud - a melee robot with a "sword-taking edge" jumped down from directly above and pounced on the top of Zhuo Li Getu's head. At this time, Zhuo Li Getu The battle ax just cut off the head of a robot on the right, and before he could take it back...

I saw him raising the heavy shield upwards, and the four cannons on the shield fired four laser beams at the same time. These four laser beams met left and right in mid-air, directly cutting off the limbs of the sneak attack robot, and the remaining torso was heavily The ground hit the shield, and before he could react, he was vaporized by the suddenly activated energy shield.

"I always feel that... the Mongols' fighting skills have improved a lot." Chi Hanfeng murmured, "Although your melee combat was not weak before, now you can perfectly integrate the specific features of high-tech equipment into melee combat... It’s as if these equipments are part of your body. Logically speaking, you have only been exposed to this set of armor for more than an hour, and yet you are so proficient at it?”

"I don't know either..." Zhuo Ligetu shook his head, "I just subconsciously felt that I wanted to do that... To be honest, I didn't even realize how I controlled the laser emitted by the shield to hit that guy. My limbs were cut off. I originally just wanted to try using a laser cannon to volley..."

"It seems that this suit of armor is highly intelligent." Chi Hanfeng came to a conclusion, "The technological level of the hive civilization should not be lower than that of the Alpha civilization...the strength and strength shown by these biochemical robots The technology of the hive civilization is not consistent, so you’d better be careful.”

"Perhaps it's because too much time has passed and these robots are in disrepair?" Hound said indifferently.

"It has been in disrepair for a long time? Do you think a robot that has been in disrepair for a long time can perform such acrobatic movements?" Chi Hanfeng said seriously, "Old dog, don't be careless. The advantage we have now is entirely because of the equipment. The reason—if we didn’t have these armors and blasphemers, we would have been wiped out by these robots long ago. For any team of relic hunters, such an offensive would be enough to make people feel desperate."

"I know, I know, I'm not careless." Hound said, "Strategically, we despise the enemy, and tactically, we pay attention to the enemy... Do you understand what I mean?"

There were a total of two hundred and sixty biochemical robots, and it took Hound and the others half an hour to clear them all. Although the alarm sound did not stop, no more robots came out - think of the moving robots in the bottom nest. They should have all been killed by them.

"Christine said that the Undernest is a place similar to a slum in the Hive. These robots were supposed to be used to suppress riots, right?" Ghost Owl held a gun and inspected the remains of the robots. He saw that they were still moving. "Although these robots are not our opponents, they should be more than enough to deal with unarmed ordinary people - it doesn't even need two hundred, there can be fifty." , I’m afraid it’s enough to slaughter all of this bottom nest.”

But at this moment, the hound suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "It's broken!"

"What's wrong? Didn't we win the battle? There were no casualties..." Chi Hanfeng was startled by the hound.

"Have you forgotten? We came to this hive to prevent that guy Ke Lan from entering the 'Yunding'. These useless robots are here to delay our time! We wasted a full half an hour on them, I guess. Ke Lan's side has already finished!" Hound said.

"Then what should we do now?" Ghost Owl kicked away the remains of a robot at his feet and walked back.

"There's no time to find another way. Let's go straight down the elevator shaft." The hound walked to the edge of the well and looked down.

It was dark down below, and even if the searchlight was directed downward, the beam of light would not reach the bottom of the well.

A large number of mechanical structures are exposed on the well wall, but these mechanical structures are all tightly connected, and the entire well wall is like one body.

"You mean... we climb down close to the wall of the well?" Ghost Owl glanced at the lifting platform that rose to the dome with some worry, "Then what if the lifting platform comes down again while we are climbing? ? We won’t be crushed, right? The diameter of the elevator shaft and the diameter of the elevator platform are perfectly fitted, and there is no gap at all for people to pass through. "

"If the lifting platform comes down, then we just need to climb faster than it. If that doesn't work, we can just let go and jump down. With so many nozzles in your armor, you can still stay in the air for a short time, right?" Hound said.

"Yes, yes... what if that Christian lied to us, and the bottom of the lift shaft is not the Lower City, but somewhere else..."

"Since we have accepted this 'commission', we should no longer doubt Christine's intelligence at this time." Zhuoligetu patted Ghost Owl on the shoulder, "This is meaningless, if Christine wants Why does it need to provide us with these equipment if it is trying to trick us?"

"Okay..." Ghost Owl took a deep breath, walked to the mouth of the well, looked up at the motionless lifting platform fixed above, and then climbed down along the wall of the well.

The power armor they wear has retractable hooks on the fingers and front of their steps. The Nino alloy hooks can easily cut into the well wall. It is not difficult to climb. Even if they accidentally slip, the power armor's jet will The propeller can also push people back to the shaft wall - as long as the lifting platform above does not fall suddenly, there is no danger in the climbing process.

Only the Blasphemer Mecha is a little more troublesome - the limbs of the Blasphemer Mecha have no hooks, and the structure of the body is not suitable for climbing... Fortunately, the Blasphemy Mecha has its own anti-gravity device. After turning the power of the device to the maximum, the actual weight of the entire machine body can drop to about one ton. The four of them, Hound, directly used the steel cable to hoist the Blasphemer mecha into the air, and at the other end of the steel cable, It is directly connected to the four people clinging to the well wall.
