Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 126 Lava Thaad

Since the old dog took the initiative to take on the task of dealing with this woman, Ke Lan was happy to take it easy, and went directly to the back row to sit with Akira Asano.

"Ready to go." Ke Lan patted the old dog on the shoulder and said.

"Everyone, sit still—" the old dog gave You Yi a "wink" at the passenger seat, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with a cheerful whistle.

This "Junius" off-road vehicle accelerates from zero to [-] kilometers per hour in about five seconds, which is already very close to the data of a supercar - of course, it is entirely thanks to the crystallization engine that it can do this , this kind of power device originated from the Alpha civilization, the time required from ignition to maximum power is unimaginably short, and the reason why it takes five seconds to accelerate to [-] kilometers is purely the technology of the human side It's dragged down... Otherwise, as long as the energy is enough and the frame strength of the car body can support it, it won't be a problem even if it wants to fly...

"Bricks fly with great strength", this is not a joke.

"Junius" took the lead and rushed to the front of the convoy - during the landing battle that year, the ground around the landing site was almost plowed by powerful weapons, so within thousands of kilometers around the ark The terrain of Yimapingchuan, coupled with the fact that there are very few indigenous creatures nearby, is really suitable for racing.

Ke Lan didn't stop the old dog from venting... To be honest, after going through so many depressing things, it's pretty good to have such a chance to relax.

The route of the convoy has been marked on the screen of the tablet computer. Based on the normal speed, if the drivers do not stop halfway and the drivers alternate shifts, it will take about eight days and seven nights to reach the Leviathan skeleton.

Of course, the premise is that "everything goes well".

……

"Attention all units, the front is about to enter the moderate radiation area, activate the protective measures, change the formation, and the tracked armored vehicles will take the lead."

While talking, the old dog slowed down the speed of the car, and pressed a few times on the operation panel. The folding roof rose from the rear, wrapping the whole car inside.In less than ten seconds, this open-top "Junius" already had a fully enclosed safety compartment.

"The dust filter is activated, the interlayer protective net is energized, the ventilation fan is turned off, and replaced with a built-in one-way ventilation..." The old dog is operating skillfully. Although this Junius is Layton's car, he can use it normally. Not less open.

"Keep your eyes bright and pay attention to your surroundings, especially the top of your head." The old dog added another sentence in the communication channel.

The biggest threat in the radiation area is never the radiation itself, but the native creatures that are attracted by the radiation and occupy here.

"Car No. 800 reported that an abnormality was found 35 meters ahead. It is suspected of signs of indigenous biological activity. Request instructions." The thickness of the frontal armor plate has reached [-] cm. Facing most obstacles in the wilderness, with the help of strong power and heavy tonnage, it can directly smash them into pieces and then crush them... Of course, the native creatures also Included in this "obstacle".

"Keep the current speed, there is no need to dodge." Ke Lan took the walkie-talkie from the old dog, "Run into it directly."

"But..." The driver of No. [-] car suddenly had a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"What's the matter?" Ke Lan looked out through the car window. They were about 200 meters away from No. [-] car, that is to say, it was almost a kilometer away from the place where No. [-] car found signs of biological activity. Calculated according to the arc of the horizon of Alpha Star, since they can't see anything here, it must not be a big guy blocking the road.

"Mr. Commander... Although according to the scanning results of the thermal radar, there is something there, but on the image of the drone, nothing can be seen!" said the driver of the No. [-] vehicle.

"Can't see anything?" Ke Lan quickly used the tablet computer in his hand to enter the operating system of the command vehicle, and then switched to the interface of the drone - just as the driver of No. [-] vehicle said, after being detected by the thermal radar In the area marked as "abnormal", the drone's camera didn't capture any creatures. There were only khaki sand and light gray gravel, and there was nothing else.

"All vehicles, stop immediately." Ke Lan thought for a while, and immediately issued the latest order, "There is no error in the thermal radar, and that thing should be hiding underground—cars No. [-] and No. [-], using rockets Cover the area with strikes."

"Are you sure?" The old dog turned his head, "If Dong XZ is underground, it is impossible for the thermal radar to scan for abnormalities. Could it be that radiation caused the radar to malfunction?"

"Anyway, it's better to be careful." Ke Lan glanced at the two armed off-road vehicles that had already anchored the fixed brackets to the ground, and added, "Anyway, we don't need to pay for the ammunition."

"That's right." The old dog nodded in agreement.

A burst of fire flashed, and the 36 rockets in the first round had already drawn a beautiful arc in the air, hitting the target area accurately——

"boom!!"

A powerful air wave swept over in an instant accompanied by a loud noise. Fortunately, the car windows used by the team were all specially made, so they were not shattered. However, Junius' rearview mirror had already been turned into powder.

"The intensity of this explosion is impossible!" The old dog shouted suddenly, "Let alone 36 of these small rockets, even if there are 360, it is impossible to have this effect. Damn, there is a How many tons of explosives were buried?"

"No, it's not explosives..." Ke Lan shook his head, staring at the real-time screen of the drone, he saw much more than the old dog and the others.

The direct impact range of the explosion area is more than 400 meters, and in the central area is a huge crater with a diameter of more than [-] meters. A black beetle that is four or five times larger than a tracked armored vehicle is making a giant hole. The pit was dying——a big hole was blown open in its back, and a magma-like liquid was gushing out from the berth.

"Good guy, it's actually a lava beetle!" The old dog poked his head over and glanced at the tablet in Ke Lan's hand, "No wonder it can be detected by the thermal radar through thick sand. The temperature must be thousands of degrees!"

"If I had rushed over just now, I'm afraid several cars would have been scrapped." Ke Lan said, ambush is a common hunting method used by lava beetles. The high-temperature mucus it spews can easily melt through the armor of vehicles, and Once it is stained, it is like a gangrene, and it cannot be removed with their current methods.

"Car No. [-] and Car No. [-] will fire the second round of rockets [-] seconds later, and all the vehicles in front will retreat to the position of the command car, ready to deal with the impact." Ke Lan ordered again.

The lava beetle will choose to self-destruct without hesitation when it is on the verge of death. At that time, the range and power of the explosion will be several times stronger for the first time!
