Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 401 Burning
"Although I don't have a flamethrower, I have this." Layton said, removed a thruster from the backpack, and pulled out a rubber tube from the inside of the thruster.

"Are you going to use the fuel in the thruster?" Seeing Layton's actions, Ke Lan immediately pulled Ze Luo back a few steps.

"Well, this is highly concentrated aviation fuel, and its burning temperature can reach nearly [-] degrees Celsius. You should move away a little further, and be careful not to get burned." Layton said, and dug out one from the toolbox he carried. The atomizer came, connected to the front end of the rubber tube, and then slowly moved the pressure valve of the propeller with the thumb.

The aviation fuel that was separated into fine droplets by the atomizer sprayed out from the rubber tube, and Layton's other, that is, a welding torch protruded from the palm of the mechanical hand, and moved towards the nozzle of the rubber tube. go up.

The light blue flame flashed away, and in the next second, the atomized aviation fuel burned violently, and the flame touched the black asphalt wriggling on the ground, and there was a strong burning sensation between the "crackling" sounds. The stench filled the hangar.

The substances assimilated by the puppets were still proteins, and they began to decompose rapidly after encountering high temperatures. Before long, they turned into pieces of coke attached to the ground.

Ze Luo told Ke Lan that she built this body by simulating the source of black asphalt into the structure of proteins and other substances.But that puppet individual did exactly the opposite. She attempted to assimilate human tissues into something very close to their origin—the former used a substance with a higher form of existence to simulate a substance with a simpler structure, and there was almost no deviation. The latter is almost impossible.

This is like asking a college mathematics professor to solve a primary school math problem, and asking a primary school student to solve a high-level math problem that is only taught in college.Even if this primary school student is a rare mathematical genius, the difference in difficulty between these two things cannot be calculated on the same level at all.

While Ke Lan was thinking about these things, Asano Akira quietly walked to Ke Lan's side without the others noticing.

"I heard all the conversation between you and her." Asano Akira said softly to Ke Lan, "She...isn't human, right."

Oversight!
Ke Lan was taken aback for a moment. When he was talking with Ze Luo, he was completely unaware of Akira Asano's abnormal hearing ability - even if there was a distance of nearly [-] meters, even if there was a "crackling" noise, Akira Asano Can hear the conversation between Ke Lan and Ze Luo.

Although their conversation did not bluntly state Ze Luo's identity, but the content involved has already exposed a lot of things.

"You were forced to keep it a secret, in order to protect others, just like before." Before Ke Lan had time to explain, Asano Akira continued on his own. Adding a question like "Is it right" or "Is it right" at the end made Ke Lan somewhat at a loss as to how to respond.

"If you trust her, I will trust her too." Asano Akira held the scabbard in his arms and said expressionlessly, "I will not tell anyone about this."

"Aren't you... not curious?" Ke Lan couldn't help asking.

"Not curious." Akira Asano replied, "Since you didn't intend to let me know, it means I shouldn't know about it, at least not yet."

"That's why you trust me?" Ke Lan glanced at Ze Luo, then at Asano Akira.

Asano Akira nodded.

"Well, this matter, about Ze Luo, when the time is right, I will naturally tell you... But now, there are too many things involved, and if the matter leaks out, the consequences will be even worse than mine. It’s even more serious if the secret is exposed.”

"I see." Akira Asano said.

Ke Lan's lips twitched. He really wanted to say "thank you" to Asano Akira, but he always felt that this thank you is not appropriate here. What's more, with the relationship between them, it seems that there is no need for verbal thanks .

"The battle later may be..." Ke Lan pondered for a while, but he still couldn't find a suitable adjective, "It may be very... outrageous, and it may seem a little fantasy. A confrontation of that level, the average person is There is no way to intervene in it. Maybe even Marshall's level of combat power can only protect himself... You and Layton and the others should not go up, just protect yourself."

"Yeah." Asano Akira nodded again.

……

After the fuel of the two thrusters was used up, the last puddle of "black asphalt" turned into coke, and at this time, Ivan finally had the opportunity to treat those seriously injured experimental subjects.

"You all stay in the hangar. The monsters inside the Greek ship have been emptied, and there will be no more battles until we meet the BOSS... Leave the rest to me and Zelo." Ke Lan said to everyone.

"What do you mean? Are you going to be a hero alone?" Layton yelled with some dissatisfaction, "Even if there is no battle on the road, what about fighting the boss? Are you going to leave us all here?"

"That thing, only Ze Luo can hurt it, other people, it's useless to go too much, it just increases the casualties." Ke Lan said, "The task of these believers is to escort Ze Luo and me to the BOSS , their task has been accomplished."

"What about you?" Layton asked, "I admit, this little girl is a ruthless character, what about you, Ke Lan? Let me tell you, in terms of combat effectiveness, you are still a bit behind me, even if you are leading the way for this girl , and I should be the one to go."

"Do you think that I will be killed, so you rush to die for me?" Ke Lan gave Layton a white look, and the old face under the latter's mask suddenly turned red: "Fart, fart, I have some cards to save my life. If you go, there is at least an eighty to ninety percent chance of getting out, but what about you, what can you do to ensure that you can escape alive?"

"Your hole cards are useless to that thing." Ke Lan said, "This is an order, you three, stay here."

Ke Lan originally wanted to add another sentence of "waiting for my return", which would sound more imposing, but on second thought, it seemed like setting a flag for himself, so he gave up immediately.

"Then I'll go with you." It was Marshall who spoke. He walked up to Ke Lan and patted him on the shoulder. "Among this group of people, I am the strongest. Besides, I am not you Your subordinates do not need to obey your orders."

He took another step closer and said in Ke Lan's ear; "You should have seen the man behind the wall, right? Then you also know that I have a few days to live. In the last few days of my life, I should do something Something crazy?"
