Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 209 Escape
"Do you have any good ideas?" Ke Lan turned his head and glanced at Victoria next to him, with a wry smile on his face.

"No." Victoria replied simply.

"I think we can choose to retreat." Ke Lan said, the Gauss assault rifle in his hand still has two and a half magazines of bullets, and the remaining three magazines of the large-caliber hunting pistol in the waist holster are full , four defensive fragmentation grenades were hung next to the holster, besides that, there were scattered weapons all over the ground at the feet, which could be used by picking them up—but none of these things could cause fatal damage to the monster. harm.

Even the large-caliber cannon mounted on the "Bloodhound" mecha, the effect of a direct hit is only to injure it, and the 25mm caliber high-explosive bomb can't even break the monster's scrawny arm. .

"I won't laugh at you if you just say run away." Victoria said, her eyes were fixed on the monster that was crawling towards them, "It's just...you think we can escape ?”

"If you can hold on to this thing for more than 10 minutes, my chances of escaping are quite high." Ke Lan said sincerely.

"...Should I praise you for your frankness, or call you shameless?" Victoria glanced at Ke Lan from the corner of her eye, and immediately took it back.

"Thank you for the compliment." Ke Lan held up his gun and pointed at the biochemical monster that was firing tens of meters away, with his fingers pressed against the trigger guard, "When I'm too nervous, I always talk a lot of trash involuntarily, probably This can help me ease my mood... Maybe..."

"But in fact, even if I decide to sacrifice myself to help you die, I won't be able to last that long." Victoria shook her head slightly, "The equipment I configured today is designed to target the Seed of Corrosion... If it is as you said As I said, if this monster doesn't respond to the active cells of the flesh-eating worm, then all the cards in my hand will be useless."

"I should have let you bring some heavy weapons in if I knew it earlier... That weapon restriction law should have no binding force on your Security Bureau, right?" Ke Lan said.

During the conversation, he and Victoria have been slowly retreating, while the monster that came out of Arasaka's clothes has been approaching... It doesn't seem to be eager to hunt the two of them, as if it is enjoying this The feeling of letting the prey fall into despair step by step...

The distance between Ke Lan and the monster has been shortened to less than 30 meters.

"Heavy weapons may not be able to hit it... With the speed at which it eliminated the two 'Bloodhounds' just now, even precision-guided missiles can dodge it." Victoria whispered.

The only thing that can guarantee a hit is the large-area coverage strike method, but in this way, not only Ke Lan and Victoria will be affected, but it will also cause inestimable damage to the ark itself.

Of course, the biggest problem is that they don't have such heavy weapons in their hands now.

"Hello, Ke Lan." Victoria suddenly called Ke Lan's name.

"If you want to leave a last message, I will turn on the recording function of the phone right now."

"No, I just want to ask, do you have any other means of hiding?"

"Eh? Hidden means? Why do you think so?" Ke Lan asked a little puzzled and a little wary.

"Actually, I've always been curious about you. There are too many suspicious things about you... You unlocked the seventh-order mercury lock under the glacier ruins, right?"

"No...Actually, I didn't do anything at all..." Ke Lan shook his head, "If you unlocked that thing by yourself...it doesn't seem to be locked at all."

"The miraculous survival of the city under the sea, how did you do it?"

"I told you that I was washed to the surface of the sea by the turbulence...why don't you believe it?" Ke Lan explained helplessly...in fact, he didn't lie about this point, he did fall directly He entered the sea water, and when his consciousness broke free from the chaos, he was already floating on the sea surface.

"...To be honest, until today, you are still the main suspect of the Security Bureau. Some intelligence personnel even think that you may have a very high status in the heretical sect." Victoria said, her words made people Ke Lan remembered that he was mistaken for a "prophet" by those congregants in the exile camp, but it was all because of the stone tablet. Before that, he had never even heard of the existence of heretical sects.

"Then you still doubt it?"

Victoria nodded.

"...If only I were really a senior member of a heretical sect, at least I don't have to die here with you." Ke Lan said, he thought carefully about his "hidden means"... I'm afraid it's only the one in his pocket. The stone cone and the language of the Alpha civilization, but since this monster is immune to the active cells of the flesh-eating worm, the stone cone will probably not have any effect, not to mention that Ke Lan has no way to stab it with the stone cone... As for the language of the Alpha Civilization, in this case, it will not be of any help to the situation - although it can be used as a secret signal to detonate the bombs installed in the minds of the Six Samurai, Yui Arasaka's head has already fallen to the ground, Even if there is a bomb inside, it won't kill this monster!
But if this monster has a certain IQ and can understand the Alpha language, maybe I can use this method to deceive it and make it treat itself as a "lurker" of its own sect...

Ke Lan glanced at Victoria again, seeing that she wasn't paying attention to herself, she simply gave up and "said" to the monster in Alpha language: "I'm not your enemy."

There was no response, the monster seemed to be the same as humans, unable to hear the language of the Alpha civilization at all.

"Stop! I'm not your enemy!" Ke Lan repeated again.

It still had no effect, the monster was still approaching, only 20 meters away from them... Ke Lan and Victoria were already within its jumping range, and it could attack them at any time.

"You are going to escape." Victoria said in a deep voice, and Ke Lan could not hear any emotional fluctuations in her tone.

"What did you say?" Ke Lan asked in astonishment, he almost wondered if he heard it wrong.

"I will try my best to help you delay the time, you seize this opportunity and escape back."

"...I was joking just now."

"But I'm not joking with you. Rather than the two of us being killed here for no reason, it's better to let you escape... At least, you can take the news out." Victoria said to Ke very seriously. Lan said.
