Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 278 Teratosarcoma (4000-word chapter)
But at this moment, the giant sarcoma hanging on the roof of the cave suddenly "speaks"!

Although its tone is weird and its voice is dull, both Ke Lan and the hound can distinguish it—it speaks the official language with the most people on the Ark: Chinese!
"The test...was suspended...the test process...an error occurred...activated...the contingency plan..."

"This...this ghost thing is talking?" The hound raised his head in astonishment, staring at the tumor with an incredulous expression on his face, "Damn...why, I can understand what this thing is saying?"

"Because it uses Chinese..." Ke Lan murmured.

"It really speaks Chinese? Did I hear you right?" The hound stretched out his fingers and plucked his ears vigorously.

"That's right." Ke Lan said, "It's actually not difficult to understand. This thing can invade our thinking consciousness, and it's nothing surprising to master our language, but what I'm a little concerned about is that what it just said the content of that sentence."

"It seems to say that it is going to start some emergency plan...Damn it, we are out of time, hurry up!" The hound reacted immediately, and ran to Layton's side in three steps and two steps, and grabbed the fleshy stick on Layton's head. Hose, began to pull out forcefully.

"Error! Process error! No. [-] test subject disconnected abnormally!" Sarcoma's voice began to become sharp and piercing. At the same time, the cave began to shake slightly, and small gravels continued to fall from the roof of the cave. Falling.

"Test subject No. [-] disconnected abnormally! No. [-]..."

"Shut up for me!" The hound suddenly raised his gun and fired several shots at the sarcoma on the roof of the cave. With the deafening gunshots echoing in the cave, several bowls of blood burst out on the surface of the giant sarcoma. Hole——Different from most of the rough-skinned and thick-skinned indigenous creatures of Planet Alpha, this thing's defense is pitifully low. The surface is only protected by a thin layer of fascia, and under this layer of fascia, it is like Fatty pink white soft tissue.

A large amount of blood mixed with broken flesh spewed out from the wound, but soon, countless tiny granulation sprouts began to emerge from the tissue around the wound, and these granulation squirmed crazily. It is completely blocked by granulation.

"This ghost thing...is very capable of self-healing!" said the hound. "Bullets can hurt it, but it can't kill it."

"There's no need to waste bullets." Ke Lan said, he wrapped Qin Zhao's waist with his left hand, pulled the girl's body to level, and placed it on his knees. Pulling——Because Qin Zhao has long hair, the tiny tentacles that penetrate the scalp are entangled with the hair strands, and it takes more effort to pull them out than other people, and Ke Lan can't remove them like cutting hair. The tentacles were cut off at once, otherwise, if those broken tentacles got into the head, it would be difficult to take them out.

Layton and Zhuo Ligetu have fully woken up, while Asano Show and Ivan are still under the effect of the Mengzao preparation. Apart from Qin Zhao, there is only Cao Feng who has not yet escaped from the dream world.

"You two, find a way to find an exit, and I'll deal with the last kid." The hound said to Layton and Zhuo Ligetu. At this time, the vibration of the cave was already very strong, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Activate...emergency plan...abandon test subject No. [-]..."

"Give up?" Hearing this word, the hound froze for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Cao Feng in front of him had opened his eyes.

"Could this bastard admit defeat by himself? No! Didn't this guy have been injected with Mengzao preparation? Why did he wake up—" before the hound finished speaking, Cao Feng suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out his hand and took it out from his waist. A piece of black thing stabbed the hound's ribs fiercely!

"Ah——!" the hound screamed, and fell limply on the ground, his whole body bowed into a shrimp shape because of the severe pain—fortunately, all the weapons on Cao Feng's body had been searched away, and he took What came to stab people was just a dagger sheath made of plastic steel... If it was replaced by the dagger inside, I am afraid that the hound is now in dire danger.

Ke Lan turned his head, only to see that Cao Feng had already wobbled towards this side, and on top of his head, the fleshy hose had penetrated his skull and penetrated deeply into his brain. middle.

Black and red blood slowly overflowed from his mouth, nose, eye sockets, and ear canals. This was a fatal wound... However, Cao Feng did not die because of this. Qin Zhao pulled out Ke Lan, who had a fleshy tube.

"Ke Lan be careful! This guy seems to be controlled by this ghost!" Layton roared, his gun was already aimed at Cao Feng, but Cao Feng jumped up at this moment, just in time to pounce on Ke Lan. On Lan's body, both of them fell to the ground!
"Damn it, I can't shoot! Damn it!" Layton yelled anxiously, "Ke Lan, can you get rid of him? I can't shoot like this!"

"I'm going to help him!" Zhuoligetu said and ran towards Ke Lan and Cao Feng, but before he could get close, the floor of the cave suddenly cracked open. A gap more than four meters wide was formed between the fronts!

With the power of Zhuoligetu, it is easy to cross this gap, but the giant sarcoid is obviously impossible for him to do so—dozens of tentacles stretched out towards this side, and they did not directly attack, but stared at it. Hanging in mid-air, it seemed to tell Zhuoligetu clearly: as long as you dare to jump, these tentacles will immediately shoot him down in mid-air.

"...Layton! Hit... smash this piece of...fucking...rotten meat!" The hound half-lyed on the ground, holding back the pain and shouting.

"I know! How are you? Can't you die?"

"It seems... It seems that two ribs are broken, I should... not die! Damn, what are you talking about? Hurry up!"

Layton stopped talking nonsense, but raised the muzzle of the machine gun, pointed it at the giant sarcoma obliquely above, and pulled the trigger forcefully!
Flames spewed out, and the dense rain of bullets tore open the surface of the giant sarcoma in an instant, crushing the soft tissue inside. Although the customized Minigun that Layton carried was small in shape, the caliber of the barrel was large. It is a real 25mm cannon standard, and the recoil generated by this thing can only be controlled by Layton, who is a level [-] engineer and the assistance of a mechanical exoskeleton.

The four heavy-duty gun barrels fired non-stop. In less than five seconds, the whole box of ammunition chains that Layton was carrying was completely emptied, and the huge deformed sarcoid was also completely smashed into pieces. The minced meat fell into the bottomless crack.

For the research institute, this thing can definitely be regarded as a peerless treasure. If it can be brought back to the ark in its entirety, its value will be enough to allow the Hunting God Hunting Group to easily advance to the top three in the hunting group rankings... But for For the hounds and the others, how to get back alive is the first consideration.

"Tsk, what a pity." The hound also threw the empty bottle of painkiller spray into the crack, and then struggled to get up from the ground—although he said it was a pity, there was no pity in his tone Meaning, on the contrary, it has a happy expression on his face.

"Old dog!" Layton's voice came from one side, and the hound immediately turned his head away, only to find that Layton's expression did not relax in the slightest because of the blown sarcoma, "It's useless, it's useless at all! This big Sarcoma is not the point!"

As Layton said, he pointed to the top of the cave. After the sarcoma was exploded, a huge hole appeared there. Hundreds of tentacles were frantically gushing out of this hole, rolling towards everyone.

On Ke Lan's side, he was still wrestling with Cao Feng—even though the fleshy hose had been broken, Cao Feng still couldn't break free from his control. His strength became so great that he could hold it with just one hand Ke Lan's entire upper body exploded with strength. He put one arm in front of Ke Lan's body, and used one hand to punch continuously, hitting Ke Lan's vital points in the chest and abdomen.

Facing such a fierce offensive, Ke Lan could only choose to defend passively. He stepped back step by step, trying to trade distance for a chance to counterattack - even if he has the ability to stop when he is completely close to the body, it is difficult to get up. What help: Even if you can see the angle and direction of the opponent's attack, the moment the time stop ends, the fist has already landed on your body, and it is impossible to dodge it, let alone make a counterattack.

Cao Feng's strength is still getting stronger. The giant sarcoma seems to have used some special method to squeeze out all the potential in his body. This is a method that is almost self-harm. Ke Lan knows that only he can last Cao Feng's strength faded, even if he didn't take the initiative to attack, the opponent would fall by himself, but the problem is that he has to last until then...

During fighting training, Ke Lan had also fought against Layton. He knew how terrifying the power of a full-strength punch from a level [-] cyborg was—even in training, both sides could only use [-]% of their strength. Layton's punch is not easy to bear, and this Cao Feng in front of him, every punch he has is not far from [-]% of Layton's strength. The incoming blood even soaked through the thick winter clothing.

His parry began to become more and more powerless——Although Cao Feng lost his sanity, the fighting methods he used were standard Sanda techniques: swinging punches, jabs... and from time to time, he turned around and swung a strong punch. The powerful whip punch, if Ke Lan was not wearing an exoskeleton to help share part of the attack force, Ke Lan's arms would have been broken.

The hounds and the others couldn't help at all at the moment, just coping with the attacks of those tentacles made them miserable, not to mention that the gap between the two sides was still expanding.

Ke Lan can only rely on himself...he must find a way to get rid of Cao Feng.

The pistol had been knocked down during the fight just now, and I don't know where it fell. The only weapons on Ke Lan's body were the claws installed on the exoskeleton and Akira Asano's sword on his back.

However, under Cao Feng's constant beatings, the mechanical parts of the exoskeleton have been severely deformed. Ke Lan pulled the mechanism several times, but he couldn't let the claws eject from it. Knife chance.

There is a rock wall behind him, Ke Lan has no way to retreat, and the cracks are constantly spreading towards this side. The ground is like an aging and brittle plastic plate, which is cracked, broken, and broken under the action of stress... ...The gap gradually widened into an abyss. Ke Lan felt that before Cao Feng's physical strength was exhausted, there would be no place for the two of them to stand.

At this extremely critical moment, Ke Lan's elbow seemed to have hit a hard cylindrical object. He glanced out of the corner of his eye. It was a rocket propeller mounted on the exoskeleton, because the exoskeleton was deformed. Reason, the position of the rocket booster was shifted from the waist to the ribs...

"I hope... there is still fuel left in the thrusters..."

Ke Lan muttered in his heart, trying hard to take Cao Feng's punch, stretched out his hand, and unscrewed the manual control valve on the side of the thruster.

After a short delay, there was a sound of "boom!", and a long tail flame was sprayed out from the nozzle of the thruster. A huge force pushed Ke Lan to forcefully move a few meters horizontally, and the rocket "poof!" "The ground suddenly went out.

Although the fuel is only enough for the thruster to work for less than half a second, this half second is enough for Ke Lan!

"Time stops."

Everything around him turned into a black and white freeze-frame scene in an instant. Ke Lan could clearly see that after he moved sideways for a few meters, Cao Feng immediately turned around—his feet had already stepped on the ground. On the ground, his knees were slightly bent, and his leg muscles contracted. In the next moment, the force from his legs could make him jump from the spot and rush towards him.

And his right fist is raised to the side of the face, the elbow is folded, the spine is bent to the right, and the strength of the waist and back is completely concentrated on the arm. This is a punch ready to go, Ke Lan can fully imagine How terrifying the power attached to this fist can be.

It's just that this punch will never hit him.

As long as he can create a distance, even a few meters, he has already established the victory.

Time stops, release—squat down, bend down, and lower the center of gravity of the whole person. While lowering his head, Ke Lan has already held the handle of the knife behind him with his right hand. With a "chuckle", it was pulled out of the scabbard, and the blade just met Cao Feng who was rushing towards him.

From the point of view of the hounds and the others, this knife didn't look like Ke Lan's slashing, but like Cao Feng himself hitting the blade...

"Pfft-"

The sound of the sharp instrument cutting through the flesh was as crisp as a piece of silk, and the scalding liquid splashed out instantly drenched Ke Lan into a bloody man.
