Alien Relic Hunter.

"Skadi" Orca-class heavy cruiser, Hangar No. [-].

In order to prevent fires or equipment explosions, the hangar and ammunition depot of the Skadi are designed as external mounts, which are independent modules fixed on the ship.Although the outside of the hangar also has a thick armor structure, after all, it is located on the periphery of the ship, unlike the bridge and power cabins that are "deeply buried" inside the ship's hull, so it becomes the place where monsters hatched from egg-shaped sarcoma Primary invasion area.

A large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was dissolved by corrosive liquid on the top of the west side of the hangar. The first batch of monsters that invaded the hangar from this hole was about [-], and most of them were between three and five meters in size. These monsters have different shapes, but they basically have one of two characteristics-either extremely strong defense ability and anti-strike ability, or high mobility characteristics of rapid raids.

Those tank-type monsters began to set up defensive positions as soon as they entered the hangar, just like a bridgehead during landing operations. As for those high-mobility monsters, they directly interspersed with the crowd who were caught off guard, using melee methods to massacre People in Hangar Two.

After paying the price of fifty lives, the officers and soldiers in Hangar No. [-] relied on automatic defense facilities and tactical mechs to clear out those high-mobility monsters that rushed up, but the meat shield monsters behind They managed to gain a firm foothold, and new changes appeared—their body structures began to dissolve, but this was not a harbinger of death, on the contrary, these dissolved monsters merged with each other, forming a huge overall.

They turned into a huge flesh and blood fortress approaching the top of the hangar. The cuticles on the body surface began to crack and fall off, exposing the bloody skin. But when the soldiers concentrated their firepower to smash the skin, they were desperate It was discovered that under the skin, a thick layer of chitin carapace had unexpectedly condensed at some time.

The defensive power of this layer of chitin carapace is comparable to composite armor. The 35mm cannon of the tactical mecha can only make a shallow hole the size of a bowl. As for the individual light weapons, they can't even leave it on it What obvious traces.

"Use a laser! Push the laser cutting machine for engineering! Turn on the power to the maximum!" A ground crew member had a whim—the laser cutting machine for engineering, as the name suggests, is not a weapon, but a dedicated machine. Engineering equipment for logistics and rescue departments.The main purpose is to cut the cabin of a damaged fighter or mecha, and rescue the driver trapped inside.Or when the battle situation is fierce and supplies are tight, it is used to disassemble those seriously damaged airframes, and provide the usable parts as replacement parts to those less damaged airframes.

However, although it is said to be engineering equipment, the output power of the laser cutting machine is no less than that of those cluster laser weapons, otherwise, it would not be able to cut through the solid armor of the machine body.

Three laser cutting machines mounted on carts were pushed to the forefront of the battle line, and several soldiers wearing powered exoskeletons followed behind with cables thicker than their thighs—these cables contained The integrated optical fiber cannot be dropped or broken. In this emergency situation, these soldiers can only be used as human support.

The Flesh Fortress is huge, which saves the trouble of aiming. Several ground crews skillfully opened the safety of the equipment and set various parameters, while the guy who made this suggestion smashed it down with a fire axe. The limit valve of each laser cutting machine uses "physical means" to adjust the power of the laser cutting machine to the maximum.

The risk of doing this is that the excessive power will melt down the equipment, or even explode... But now the life is about to die, obviously no one will take into account the safe operation rules.

The ground crew directly ignored the piercing siren and the flashing red words "safety limit valve damaged" on the screen, and pressed the trigger on the side of the manipulator, and three extremely dazzling lasers shot out from the lens, directly hitting the A fortress of flesh and blood formed by the fusion of more than a dozen monsters.

However, just when everyone thought that the Flesh Fortress would be cut apart like those abandoned bodies, a thick layer of blood foam-like substance suddenly secreted from the surface of the Flesh Fortress. When it came into contact with the laser, a large amount of steam was generated, which blocked the vision of everyone in the hangar in just a few seconds.

In less than 15 seconds, the three laser cutting machines that had released the safety limit valves were damaged one after another. After the laser attack stopped, the steam with a strong bloody smell also began to dissipate... The Flesh Fortress that appeared again in the eyes of everyone succeeded He emphatically emphasized to everyone the unshakable iron law of "smoke does not hurt" in film and television works and animations-the laser that was enough to cut the entire hangar did not cause any damage to the Flesh Fortress.

And taking advantage of this period of time, the gap at the top of the hangar was expanded to a diameter of 20 meters. In addition to a group of small and medium-sized monsters that flooded in later, two "big guys" also passed smoothly under the cover of the flesh and blood fortress. Hacked into the hangar.

"These monsters...they are highly intelligent, and they know how to cooperate!" A sergeant of the Aviation Brigade gritted his teeth, "The first batch of monsters that came in were here to delay time...although we wiped them all out, they The task has also been completed. Next, more and more powerful monsters will flood in... We can't stop it."

"Damn it, I should have given priority to attacking those monsters before they fused together just now... Now that they have gained a foothold, it's too late to say anything!" Another soldier who was changing the magazine didn't look up. said.

"No, we had no choice at that time... If we focus our firepower on the monsters that make up the Flesh Fortress, the other melee-type monsters will kill us all." The ground crew who previously proposed to use laser cutters to attack the Flesh Fortress The officer sighed, shook his head and said, "They must have figured this out... If these monsters came up with this strategy instead of someone behind them manipulating and directing them, it would be terrible."

"It's useless to say this now, what should we do next?" The soldier changed the magazine, and while shooting at the monsters charging up, he shouted at the highest volume, "Those two big guys, obviously It's not something we can solve! Whether to fight or retreat, there must be a choice, right?"

"I'm contacting the bridge! Hold on first! Wait for the general's order!" An officer shouted, but before he could connect to the communication, a bone spur pierced through his body and nailed him to the ground .

It was one of the two "big guys" that killed him - this is a monster shaped like an upright cylinder, with a diameter of about five to six meters and a height of about 25 meters. It uses dozens of gastropods at the bottom to to move.On the surface of this monster's body, there are no organs such as eyes or mouth, and there are no limbs for attacking. There are only thousands of densely packed holes distributed irregularly on the body. Like a meatloaf rolled on a pegboard.

But these holes are not things that were pierced out, but the attacking organs of this monster-every time it turns around, hundreds of bone spurs will be shot out of these holes. More than a dozen soldiers were killed by this long-range attack... The only good news is that the bone spur's penetration is not strong. The armor of the tactical mech and the hand-held shield of the heavy infantry can block the bone spur ... Otherwise, this monster alone would be enough to wipe out all the defenders in the No. [-] hangar.

As for the other giant monster, its shape is more familiar...

This is a Thunder Beast whose body size is only one-fifth of the normal size, but it is definitely not a cub of a Thunder Beast - anyone who is familiar with the native creatures of Planet Alpha knows that the most important criterion for judging the age of a Thunder Beast is its body appearance The thickness of the chitinous carapace.The chitin carapace of the Ultralisk will gradually thicken with age, and its defense will become stronger and stronger... As for the newborn Ultralisk cub, the chitin carapace is so thin that it can be pierced with a rifle, and it can even Through this layer of carapace, you can see the flesh and bones below.

But the "Miniature Thunder Beast" in front of him is covered with a layer of jet-black armor—in addition to the thickness, the color is also a very important criterion for judging.The older it is, the darker its chitinous carapace becomes.Generally, the chitinous carapace of adult Ultralisks is brown, and dark brown ones are already considered very rare old Ultralisks... As for the Chitinous Chitinous Chitinous Chitinous beasts, only one has been found so far.

According to bone age calculations, the black-shelled Thunder Beast lived to be at least two thousand years old, and the average thickness of the chitinous carapace on its body also reached an astonishing 13 meters!
The "Miniature Thunder Beast" only stayed in place for a few seconds before launching a charge towards the human defense line - this is also the usual attack method of the Thunder Beast. Most of the native creatures on Alpha Planet cannot withstand the Thunder Beast Hitting and trampling, and a group of charging ultralisks are enough to create a small-scale earthquake.

The ground of the hangar was shaking, and some of the body wreckage and parts scattered on the ground even jumped up, and one unlucky guy was even knocked down to the ground, hitting the instep of a tactical mech beside him. Passed out directly.

"Disperse! Disperse!"

Facing the miniature Ultralisks rushing forward, no one dared to fight hard, not even the tactical mechs—the tactical mechs in the No. [-] hangar were all transformed from flying mechas. The performance, structural strength and armor thickness of these mechas are not as good as the tactical mechas specially used for land battles, and even the latter can't stop the Ultralisk's charge, let alone these crispy mechas.

A gap quickly opened in the middle of the line of defense, and even the fainted soldier was dragged aside by his companions—the thickest and easiest parts of the Thunder Beast's carapace are the head and back directly in front of it, if you can avoid its Charge, go around and attack it from behind, the success rate of hunting will become a little higher...but it's only a little bit.

Everyone held their breath, clenched the weapons in their hands, and waited for the Thunder Beast to rush over, and launched a wave of fierce attacks on its "chrysanthemum"... But no one expected that when this Thunder Beast charged, After entering the gap specially reserved for it, there was a wave of sudden braking, and it turned around directly, using the pair of jaw-shaped scythes to cut off a tactical mecha at the side!
"The Thunder Beast's charge...is it still able to brake suddenly?" Everyone was stunned——with this level of weight and impact inertia, it is impossible to stop, but this Thunder Beast not only Arrived, and successfully changed direction, killing a tactical mecha!
This kind of thing is as outrageous as an angry bull suddenly dancing an elegant ballet, and the dance steps are very precise... No one would believe this kind of thing, but it happened in front of everyone's eyes.

The Ultralisk that crashed into the crowd seemed to be in no one's land, overturning several tactical mechs one after another, and at the same time trampled the shield wall formed by the hoplites into a mess... After losing the shield wall and mechas that were used as cover, After the cover, the soldiers who were exposed to the bone spur attack immediately suffered heavy casualties--in this wave of attacks, the Thunder Beast only killed a dozen or so people at most, but because the defense line collapsed, the number of soldiers who died from the bone spur shooting was . Three times that number!
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw! If you don't withdraw, you will die!"

Including soldiers, pilots and ground crews, there are about 8 people in the No. 300 hangar. It is only seven or eight minutes since the top of the hangar was broken and monsters invaded. These [-] people have already Only half of it is dead.

Every second, soldiers in gray combat uniforms and ground crew members in orange reflective vests fell in a pool of blood. The cylindrical monster seemed to be filled with bone spurs, and the firing never stopped from the very beginning. , Tens of thousands of bone spurs have been nailed densely on the ground of the No.

"Retreat, everyone retreat!" An officer wearing a pilot uniform yelled, "This is an order from the bridge, everyone retreat to the interior compartment! Use the narrow passage for defense! Abandon the No. [-] hangar! Quick, retreat quickly!"

"I can't retreat!" said another soldier. He dropped the rifle with a red barrel in his hand, pulled out his pistol and fired repeatedly, "Retreat now. Once these monsters catch up, no one will survive!"

"You just retreat, I'll break the rear for you!" The officer roared, "All the mechs, stay and break the rear! After hearing the explosion, you should disconnect the No. [-] hangar from the hull! Do you understand?"

After the officer shouted, he jumped into the cockpit of a bomber and started the engine of the bomber.

The ground fixing device was unlocked, the body anchor hook was unlocked, and the platform slowly rotated, aiming the bomber's nose at the raging Ultralisk.

The officer took a deep breath, and resolutely pushed the accelerator to the bottom!
