Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 240 Cowardly and Greedy
The action team successfully withdrew to the B-C main channel. During the rest period, the soldiers inevitably complained.
Mainly because they disliked the intelligence.
Some people even said, "The intelligence is ridiculously wrong, and it's just sending us to die."
The result was naturally scolded by Adams.
They took on a high-risk mission and got the money for being the first to try it. There was not much actual combat data to support the combat power of the aliens in advance, but only a lot of estimates.
Who would have thought that the alloy material of the power armor suit would be like paper and be scratched in an instant under the claws of the aliens?
In fact, not to mention them, Robo didn't expect it either.
He had already obtained the alien sample and completed the analysis through his own system. He knew the upper and lower limits of the alien's strength...
Of course, this was actually a self-righteous subjective mistake.
Aliens + humans, aliens + engineers, aliens + Iron Warriors... The upper and lower limits of the alien's strength are actually very flexible.
Interestingly, what level of strength will the Alien + the Old Ones present?
Robo was confident enough in himself that he felt he would not make a low-level mistake, and the Alien could not get the Devourer Hela's genes from him.
He did not get it, but he did underestimate the effect of the combination of Alien and non-human creatures.
To be more precise, the Alien + who is not the point, the point is how rich the Alien's gene pool is.
The Aliens in the Sevastopol Space Station are much happier than the Aliens in {Alien 1} or even {Alien 2} in this regard, because the space station itself has some illegal biological research, and as a long-term residence, the number and variety of fresh poultry and livestock owned by the space station are not comparable to mining ships like the Nostromo.
In this context, the Alien was fortunate to unlock an ability - activating abandoned genes.
To put it bluntly, the Aliens here can be more free to "pin people".
After the birth of the Alien Queen, the Alien iteration even achieved a model for each egg, rather than a model for each batch of eggs.
Therefore, we should use the Marvel Universe Iron Man's Mark series to understand the evolution of the aliens here. As for whether they look similar, it is mainly because of face blindness.
Walker Robo would not make such a mistake, but the problem is that he has too deep prejudices and is arrogant. He did not have a deep understanding of the aliens here, and took the old models of the aliens on the table as all.
He even refused to understand the situation too early in his subconscious mind, but wanted to follow Amanda's perspective and reveal the plot here bit by bit, just to make it more interesting.
After all, in his inherent cognition, the aliens in the dark world where the soul is located are just younger brothers, and even in this world, they are silver coins.
Among the various possibilities he estimated, the most brilliant one is nothing more than a sneak attack, sowing seeds in multiple cities in the rear of mankind at the same time, thus creating a wave of catastrophe.
Such an invasion is obviously not enough to exterminate the human race in the era of interstellar colonization.
To put it bluntly, this is a biological weapon, not a civilized race.
And they are parasitic. Their most glorious victory is nothing more than turning a world into a boring world where animals die and only plants and microorganisms remain, just like in "Alien: Covenant".
Now, through the monitoring system of the space station, he has seen the unexpectedly strong side of the alien. Although he was surprised and curious, after thinking about it, he decided to continue to be a spectator. For him, this increase in the strength of the alien is completely hold.
As for Amanda, in his opinion, the risk Amanda faces has indeed increased, but it is just a disguised return to the inherent difficulty.
After all, under normal circumstances, Amanda would not have a relatively complete and clear understanding of the alien like she does now, not to mention the possibility of killing the alien head-on.
Now Amanda is still sleeping. The long-term nervous tension makes her mentally exhausted. Unless she is disturbed, she will probably not wake up without more than six hours of sleep.
Samuel entered the moving maze and is using his extraordinary memory and computing power to explore the changing rules of the moving maze.
On the action team side, the supported action team is actively preparing.
The combination of bionic man + remote control reconnaissance device has already started the action. And the soldiers are not idle either, six sets of heavy power armor have been transported over.
This power armor can be stacked with the armored suits worn by the soldiers. To be precise, it is based on the armored suits and then equipped with armored exoskeleton.
Looking chubby, like the anti-Hulk armor, the action team hopes that such weapons can serve as a team meat shield and fight against the aliens.
Major Collison said that if conditions permit, they would better collect the bodies of the dead brothers.
This is naturally not because of integrity and basic morality, but because they don’t want to leave traces.
For the same reason, the Delta team accompanied the computer expert and the demolition expert to the terminal shortly after the action team retreated.
Apollo and Work Joe are both under their control, but the control is not high. The newly implemented Plan B requires more in this regard.
With the help of the central AI, they hope to obtain more useful information and control, including controlling Worker Joe, to participate in the alien capture operation.
In this way, time passed like water.
Amanda fell asleep for more than five hours, and Samuel came back.
About twenty minutes later, Samuel woke Amanda up.
"Ripley, the external call function of the communication station has been repaired, but I am not sure whether to contact the Torrance now."
Amanda rubbed her face, frowned and concentrated, took some time to recover, and then asked: "What makes it difficult for you to make a decision?"
"Unknown alien capture team!" Samuel said concisely.
Amanda shuddered and woke up completely, frowning more and more tightly: "What happened specifically? When did it happen?"
So Samuel briefly told what he knew, as well as the detour back to area C, the huge changes in areas A and D, and he was trapped in the moving maze for more than two hours.
After listening, Amanda was horrified and at a loss.
At the same time, the action team's plan B was half successful.
The reconnaissance operation of the military bionic man + detector was effectively intercepted by the alien.
It turns out that at least during this period of time in this space station, the alien's control over the area around the nest is not rigid.
It doesn't mean that the aliens will leave it alone if there is no "human smell", but as long as it moves, it is difficult to escape the aliens' detection.
Moreover, the new generation of aliens has become smarter and more detail-oriented, and has basically blocked the loophole of making "click! click!" sounds when moving in the ventilation ducts.
The reason for the sound is not the sound of their own footsteps, but the ducts are suspended in many places, and the duct skin is relatively thin. When an object of a certain weight is pressed on it, the duct skin will deform, and the pressure will be removed and rebound, which will make a sound.
The new generation of aliens has learned to only step on the left and right corners of the duct when moving in the duct. This area is not like a flat surface and is not easy to make a sound.
This detail was used in the previous counterattack against the action team. Coupled with the anti-life detection ability, this is how it was possible to arrive suddenly and kill indiscriminately.
When this habit was maintained, the bionic man could not detect the approach of the alien in time, and the bionic man was locked by the alien who was secretly watching. The result is self-evident.
But the military bionic man was successful. They were not afraid of death at all. When faced with the interception of the alien, they chose to break through by force, and they were willing to risk their lives for reconnaissance.
Faced with this tune, the alien was a little unstoppable and the location of the nest was determined.
To put it more bluntly, although the military bionic man died, the video data sent back allowed the action team to see the alien eggs.
The place with alien eggs was assumed to be a nest. After all, one of the mission objectives of the action team is the alien eggs.
Moreover, the newly formulated plan B includes seizing the alien eggs, and then putting the capture of adult aliens in the final stage of the action.
That is, at the end of the road rush, deliberately let an alien approach, break its limbs, and then capture it.
In this way, the only thing left is the transportation of the capture cage.
After all, many places in Area B of the space station are relatively cramped, and it is not easy to pass through the large cage containing adult aliens, so let them pass through first, and then enter the cage, and try to move a hundred meters after entering the cage, so that they can be taken away by the ship.
However, the reconnaissance of the military bionic man completely alarmed the aliens. When the action team set out again to advance to the newly confirmed alien nest, they were surrounded and killed by the aliens almost not long after entering Area B.
At the beginning, the action team was still very confident. In the words of Collison: "We have heavy units and replaced high-powered weapons. I don't believe that we can't suppress these monsters with sharp teeth and claws!"
The soldiers generally thought so, and they also had a lot of anger to vent, and by the way, they also wanted to avenge their dead companions.
As a result, the place where the aliens tried to block them had a certain amount of space to move, and using the ventilation ducts, they once again barely managed to appear and ride on the face.
The action team did not split up this time. The six sturdy heavy power armors barely formed a formation to protect the safety of the team members. The soldiers used the heavy power armors as a barrier and output firepower crazily, which really caused a lot of casualties to the aliens.
But they did not expect that these new aliens could actually self-destruct!
When they appeared, they almost rode on the face. If they couldn't beat them, they would self-destruct, and the acid blood was like a downpour.
The heavy armors were indeed thick-skinned and not afraid of this, but the armored suits could not withstand it.
And the barrier of the heavy armors could not prevent the invasion of water, fire and ground like a real barrier.
The result was a tragic battle. The soldiers were burned by the acid blood of the fearless and explosive aliens. The thick armor of the heavy armors was corroded and pitted, which was shocking.
Faced with such defensive counterattacks, the soldiers' spirits were worn out immediately. They didn't run away immediately, which showed their combat qualities. They knew that if they gave up fighting and ran away at this time, they would basically be chased and chased away, and no one could escape.
Collison led the team personally this time, and he felt what it was like to fight with aliens on the spot.
In the previous actions, he secretly complained that the soldiers were spineless and wasted the name of "Blade Team".
This time he took the initiative to propose retreat, and his voice was eight degrees higher, as sharp as a woman. Later, Adams was more calm, controlling the team's firepower and maintaining a stable suppression effect, so that they steadily withdrew from the battlefield.
However, because heavy firepower was used this time, the fierce fighting made the soldiers nervous, and they were a little lacking in restraint, so that the small battlefield was severely damaged, and several small skylights were opened directly, gas was lost, and air pressure dropped.
This is also the reason why the Delta team occupied the terminal before Plan B started.
Previous operations also carried heavy weapons, but not many, just like the configuration of the squad machine guns, one for each team. At that time, the mentality was that the operation was a one-shot deal, and some minor damage didn't matter.
Plan B was not possible. If it didn't go smoothly, Plan C might be needed. Therefore, although there was a need for heavy firepower and we tried our best to arm ourselves, we still needed the cooperation of the central AI to manage the hatch system of the area so that manual emergency treatment could be carried out after hypothermia, decompression, weightlessness, fire, etc. occurred.
Fortunately, when we were about to withdraw to the B-C channel again, we encountered several old aliens rushing back from the terminal.
Although these aliens were warriors and even had guards, they were much easier to deal with than the new generation. At least they would not explode, and there was a sound when they moved in the pipes, and the life detectors also displayed.
So under the calm command of Adams, one was successfully captured alive, and the rest were shot.
Specifically, their hands and feet were not cut off, but their more threatening tails were torn off with the strange power of the heavy equipment. The alien's triangular tail cone, even if it is heavily armed, can't withstand a stab in the weak area like the joint.
On the contrary, the heavy armor is not afraid of the tongue with an initial velocity comparable to that of a rifle shot. In the eyes of these professionals, this kind of attack is more pretentious than practical, and it is really not very practical.
In this way, the second operation of the action team can be said to rely on luck to complete the part of the task that was originally thought to be more difficult.
The unlucky sample alien was first captured by the heavy armored man, and then tied up by a series of hoops and locks, like a mummy. Even the broken tail with acid blood flowing was specially handled by the soldiers who realized that the tail was the third hand of the alien. In this way, it was completely imprisoned, and it was impossible to forcibly break off the limbs and escape with acid blood.
So, when Amanda woke up and learned the information from Samuel, Coulson and Adams quarreled again.
Adams meant that the longer the night, the more dreams there are. It is better to quit while you are ahead. Give up the alien egg. Don't be so rigid. Who knows what will happen if you delay it any longer.
The aliens are much stronger, weirder and smarter than expected.
Collison took a breath and felt that he was fine again. He said: "We are indeed under serious threat, and the aliens don't have many cards. As long as we are prepared, it is not particularly difficult to resist acid blood. The key is that we still have a lot of working Joes in our hands..."
Adams was very depressed. He wanted to smash Collison's face, but he couldn't argue with him.
After all, according to Collison, the next action will focus on the working Joes who have carried out targeted acid prevention treatment. The action team only plays the role of the commander, which really gives him no good reason to refuse...
