Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 846 Underwater Battle
"The torpedo can't be used, so close combat!" The hound urged urgently, "Rush up and tear this thing to pieces with the saw blade!"

"I..." Chi Hanfeng swallowed with some difficulty, his hands holding the joystick were trembling uncontrollably, his joints were clenched, but he couldn't find any strength to move the joystick. push down.

"What's wrong with you?" The hound naturally also noticed Chi Hanfeng's state, "Old Chi, are you scared out of your wits? I don't think you are such a person..."

"I... I'm not the Chi Hanfeng I used to be..." Chi Hanfeng clenched his back molars, and squeezed out words one by one, "Why did you think that the battle ended?" After that, I obviously don’t have a disability, but I retired?”

"why?"

"Because I found out...Since then, my hand will keep shaking when I hold the joystick of the machine body... Maybe I can barely do it to drive the mecha, but to control the mecha to fight...I can't do it Here." Chi Hanfeng said intermittently.

"Grass, Lao Chi, you should be very clear that this is just a psychological barrier. There is nothing wrong with your hands at all!" The hound glanced at the "hair" out of the corner of his eye, and the other party was still floating in place, keeping pace with the deep submersible At a distance of about ten meters.

"I know it's a mental illness. I've also seen a doctor, but it didn't help." Chi Hanfeng shook his head.

"Old Chi, this is just a deep submersible, not a mecha...you just need to control it to turn around, then rush over and shoot the dragon gun at that thing, it's very simple!" the hound tried persuaded.

"No...my hands don't work at all..." Chi Hanfeng glanced at his hands and arms, the trembling amplitude and frequency increased, and even his shoulders began to tremble.

"I'll do it." Zhuoligetu, who was sitting on the same side as Chi Hanfeng, nodded to the hunting dog, and reached out to grab the joystick, "Old Chi, you just need to tell me how to drive it."

"This joystick is used to control the propeller. Press and hold the third button from top to bottom, and at the same time press the joystick down to complete the turn. Then release the third button to change to the first button. It can accelerate the deep submersible to rush forward... As for the dragon gun, the firing command is on the control panel." Chi Hanfeng said quickly while breathing heavily.

"Okay, I understand." Zhuoligetu pulled and pushed the joystick, and the three propeller blades at the rear of the deep submersible suddenly spun, and with the compressed air ejected from the side of the body, the entire deep submersible Completed a tail-flicking U-turn on the spot, facing the thing that looked like a mess of hair.

The mechanical feet used to fix the deep submersible slammed on the street, and with the huge thrust generated by the tail thrusters, the deep submersible rushed forward at a speed of about three meters per second—at this water pressure In an environment with high density and density, this speed is already quite fast, not to mention the dragon gun shot out from the belly of the deep submersible with a muffled sound.The crystal energy bomb that exploded in the barrel endowed the Dragon Shooting Gun with enormous kinetic energy. It was covered with barbs and metal spines, and even the chitin carapace of the Ultralisk could easily penetrate it.

But the speed of that thing was even faster. The moment the dragon gun was fired, it swished around behind the deep submersible... This speed and flexibility seemed to be that the resistance of the sea water was not enough for it. same as existence.

Chi Hanfeng couldn't help but think of an old science fiction novel he once read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". At the beginning of the novel, the "Nautilus" submarine, which was regarded as a monster by people, circled around the warships that came to hunt it. ...Although this novel can no longer be regarded as a "science fiction work" in this day and age, the gap between the deep submersible and the monster in front of him still makes Chi Hanfeng feel as if he has returned to the nineteenth century. On the deck of a steamship, watch in horror as the dark figure in the water circles the ship round and round at incredible speed.

"It's too fast! That thing is too fast!" Zhuoligetu exclaimed, "We can't even touch it in close combat!"

"Launch a torpedo!" the hound roared, "I can't control that much anymore, just cover the entire water area with a saturated attack, no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the shock wave passing through the water, right?!"

"Then what should we do?" Zhuo Ligetu asked back, "If the torpedo explodes at this distance, the deep submersible will not be spared! We will all die!"

"Set the torpedo fuze in advance! Launch it far away, control the detonation distance, and control the boundary of the explosion's influence range between that monster and us!" The hound said and turned his gaze to Chi Hanfeng, "Old Chi, what can you do?" Arrived?"

"I...try it!" Chi Hanfeng bit his lower lip hard, and the coppery smell of blood immediately filled his entire mouth, but this also suppressed the intense fear in his heart for a while. many.He took a deep breath, pulled the touchpad in front of him, and quickly tapped on it with his ten fingers.

"Zoligetu, pay attention to that thing, and keep a relative distance of more than ten meters from it at all times!" At this critical juncture, the hunting dog gave full play to the qualities of a battle-hardened front-line commander, despite his The heart rate has soared to [-], but the brain has become more awake than ever before, "Old Chi, how long will it take?"

"The explosion range and the safe radius of the shock wave at this density have been calculated, and the relevant parameters are being set." Chi Hanfeng replied without raising his head, "Give me another ten seconds!"

"Advance the detonation time by two seconds! I'm afraid the distance is too far to kill this thing!" The Hound yelled, "Don't worry about us, if I read correctly, that button should be used to activate the energy shield, right? "

The deep submersible is indeed equipped with a small and medium-sized shield generator, but as we all know, in the underwater environment, because the water is heated and evaporated, a lot of energy will be consumed, so the use of the energy shield in the water will be greatly restricted. Powered by a high-power energy converter, the shield can only last for a second or two.

Except for monster-level things like Yaguna Ketor.

The hound has already placed its bets on this one or two seconds - as long as the energy shield can be activated at the moment the shock wave arrives, it is enough to ensure the safety of the deep submersible.

Outside the porthole, the group of "hairs" had already faintly floated towards the deep submersible. At the same time, Zoligetu desperately pulled the joystick backwards, and the propulsion cabins on both sides continuously ejected high-pressure gas, a series of The bubbles occupied one-third of the field of view outside the porthole, pushing the deep submersible back and forth—but even so, the distance between the deep submersible and that thing was constantly shrinking.

This is still the result of the opponent's deliberate speed control... If this group of "hair" chased the deep submersible at the speed that just avoided the dragon gun, it would probably be stuck on the porthole by now.

The hound has already put his hand on the button of the energy shield. If the distance is pulled closer by a few meters, even if the torpedo has not been launched, he will press the button without hesitation—even if the energy shield can't kill this thing, then It's also better than doing nothing.

"Okay!" Chi Hanfeng raised his head abruptly, "You can launch it anytime!"

"Launch immediately!" said the hound without thinking.

"Torpedo No. [-] to No. [-], launch them all!" Chi Hanfeng released the safety devices of torpedo No. [-] to No. [-] in turn, and then pressed his thumb on the screen.

"Fingerprint identification is correct." As these six words flashed on the screen, the torpedo compartments on both sides of the deep submersible opened one after another, and four miniature torpedoes dragged a trail of white bubbles and shot towards the target quickly. far away.

After the torpedo was unloaded, a series of rapidly beating countdowns appeared on the screen of the control panel, but before the countdown reset to zero, four blurry lights lit up in the dark waters in the distance.

"This countdown refers to the time it takes for the shock wave to reach our location. To calculate this, it takes a few extra seconds." Chi Hanfeng said.

There are six seconds left in the countdown, but the group of "hair" is less than three meters away from the deep submersible, so that the frontmost mechanical arm of the deep submersible can reach it—it's a pity that the pair of mechanical arms There is no weapon installed on it, and if you stretch it rashly, you will only be entangled by the opponent.

"It's too late to wait for the shock wave to come over. If it takes another second, this guy will catch us!" The hound took a deep breath and directly pressed the button of the energy shield!
A layer of radiant light curtain immediately enveloped the entire deep submersible, and the sea water that came into contact with this layer of light curtain immediately boiled, a large amount of white water vapor covered all sight, and ears It was the screeching alarm that the shield generator was overheating.

The Hound didn't let go of the button. If he lets go now, the four of them will have no chance of surviving when the shock wave arrives here. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to gamble that this shield generator can perform supernormally. , in this environment for six seconds.

"The power of the shield generator is overloaded by [-]%! The temperature of the core module is [-] degrees! The protective shell has melted!" Chi Hanfeng said anxiously, "The shield generator may explode at any time!"

In fact, it doesn’t need to be said by him, the other three people also know the situation of the shield generator - when the protective shell melted, the temperature inside the deep submersible has risen to nearly [-] degrees Celsius, and the power of the cooling device is turned on to the maximum. to no avail.

"Please, hold on for two more seconds!" The hound glanced at the countdown on the screen, and there were still two seconds left.

The seat under the buttocks was so hot that it was impossible to sit still, the air sucked into the body burned the nasal cavity and respiratory tract, and the hairs on the back of the hands and arms curled up one after another, exuding a burnt smell .The cabin where the shield generator is placed has dull explosion sounds continuously - the screen in front of Chi Hanfeng used to detect the shield generator has turned into a snowflake shape, which means that all the equipment installed in that cabin The monitoring devices have all been scrapped at this time.

"The last second!" the hound roared hoarsely.

The seawater swept over with a huge force, and the deep submersible, which was fixed by the mechanical arm, was thrown out without time. After rolling dozens of times, it barely stopped after crashing into the wreckage of a building.

……

"hiss……"

The hound, who had been dumped to pieces, held on to a flat surface that he didn't know whether it was the bottom or the top, and barely straightened his upper body. His vision was full of scarlet, as if he had just smashed his head while rolling, and the blood that flowed out It directly covered most of his face.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, but as soon as his palm touched his face, he screamed out because of the severe pain - in addition to his forehead being smashed, there were still several blisters on his face, which were the result of being trapped in the cabin just now. It was scalded by the high temperature inside, and when he wiped it with his hand, it was all broken, and the sticky blood flowed down the arc of his cheeks, making his appearance extraordinarily horrifying.

The situation of the other people is not much better. Chi Hanfeng and Zhuoligetu are also covered with injuries, including bruises, scratches, and burns... Ghost Owl is even more unlucky. When he just rolled over, he Regardless of the hot hand, he tightly grasped the pull ring on the outside of the armrest, and as a result, four of the five fingers of his left hand were folded towards the back of the hand at a strange angle, and the base of the fingers was a bloody mess.

"Okay...it hurts." Chi Hanfeng rubbed his waist vigorously, and reached out to fumble for the medical insurance stuffed in the locker, while Zhuoligetu immediately cast his gaze out of the porthole.

The searchlights were all broken, and it was pitch black outside the portholes, and nothing could be seen.

"Are you... alright?" the hound asked after glancing at the ghost owl.

At this time, the latter was holding the wrist of his injured hand with the other hand, clenching his teeth, his face was pale, and his chest was heaving violently—even though the ghost owl did not make a scream, the pain was just a thought. Just thinking about it is enough to send shivers down the spine.

"I...I'm fine...it's just...a broken bone." Ghost Owl managed to squeeze out these few words from between his teeth.

"I didn't bark, it's a man." The hound smiled wryly and nodded to him, "Wait a minute, I'll give you a shot right away."

"Get an injection" is a "slang word" in the army. This "needle" generally refers to morphine or painkillers and tranquilizers with similar functions. No matter how serious the injury is or how likely it is to survive, the wounded will be rescued immediately. After that, his comrades would choose to give him "a shot".Only those who have been injured on the battlefield will have a personal experience of the wonderful feeling of the unbearable pain gradually disappearing as the medicine gradually takes effect.

Chi Hanfeng finally pulled out the medical kit from the somewhat deformed locker, and the hound kept his promise. He didn't care about his injury at the first time, but found a painkiller and stuck it in the ghost owl's chest. on the shoulders.

With the injection of the liquid medicine, Ghost Owl's tense expression finally eased.

"Is that thing... still outside?" He turned his head, glanced out the window, and asked.
