Alien Relic Hunter

When this ball of light, like a small sun, exploded over the Ark, all communication channels on the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence. Countless screens and lights went out one after another, and the searchlights originally illuminated the sky like The daytime battlefield once again returned to darkness.

But the darkness was soon broken by gunfire. The troops who landed on the Ark were surprised to find that after the pulse bomb exploded, all the black men and giants were like robots whose power had been cut off, stunned. In situ. The huge pressure that the airborne troops were under disappeared in an instant, and the balance of the two warring parties suddenly tilted - no, it should be said that the entire balance had been overturned by this pulse bomb!

The Skati's reconnaissance drone and external monitors were also affected by the pulse bombs and were temporarily paralyzed. In order to obtain the latest trends on the battlefield, Major General Alexander immediately ordered the bridge to be raised and directly passed through A porthole view of the battlefield.

Seeing that all the enemies on the battlefield had stopped moving, Alexander was so excited that he punched the console in front of him and shouted: "Quick! Take this opportunity to drop the third and fourth batches of airborne troops." Get down! We must hurry up and occupy the upper platform before the enemy resumes action!"

"Communications have not been restored yet, and we are temporarily unable to contact each hangar and the transport aircraft outside!" the adjutant reported.

"Then send the communications troops to the hangar! My orders must be conveyed within thirty seconds! Quickly!"

Alexander knew very well that these "down" enemies had only temporarily lost the ability to move. Soon, they would wake up again and become more difficult than before.

The electromagnetic pulse only burned the control chips in the brains of these men in black. It did not actually kill them. After the control chips were burned, a series of "insurance measures" would also be unlocked - originally restricting black people. All the clothes' devices will lose their function, and the corrosive power in their bodies will lose control in a very short period of time, completely transforming this body that still maintains a human appearance into an inhuman monster... and some even The man in black will be directly transformed into a "corrosion" and gain various powerful special abilities.

Using electromagnetic pulse bombs is a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst, but it is also the only option for the Survivors Alliance.

The electromagnetic pulse bomb can buy the airborne troops and Ke Lan a few minutes. As long as they can break through the high platform and enter the interior of the Ark, the effect of this pulse bomb is positive.

…

Glancing at the communication terminal screen with only black and white snowflakes on his wrist, Ke Lan took off the earphones that could only hear the noise of electricity, turned over and jumped off the head of Valentina's mecha, leaning on Zeluo to borrow With the space power given to him, he used brute force to force open the cockpit hatch and pulled Valentina out from inside.

The attack of electromagnetic pulse bombs makes no difference between friend and foe. While temporarily incapacitating the man in black and the giant, it also wiped out all the tactical mechas in the airborne troops...even the ones specially modified to resist EMP. , and it was completely unable to stop Yagunaktor's electromagnetic pulse bomb, which was equivalent to 0.03% of the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon.

"What's going on? Is it an EMP attack?" All the screens in the mecha's cockpit went out, and all the joysticks, keyboards and pedals lost their response. Although Valentina's face was still a little confused, I have more or less guessed the cause of the matter.

"Yes, it's EMP." Ke Lan nodded, "Yagunaktor has joined the battle. This EMP can paralyze our enemy for at least a few minutes. We must seize this opportunity and break into the interior of the Ark! "

Valentina nodded immediately, opened the equipment box she carried with her, took out a folding submachine gun and unfolded it, then took out several magazines and inserted them into her tactical vest.

"Without the mecha, your mission is over." Ke Lan said to Valentina, "You don't need to go down with us, it's too dangerous. When the third batch of airborne troops arrive, you can take the Their transport plane goes back."

However, Valentina shook her head and said calmly: "I can fight without a mecha."

Ke Lan wanted to say, "Without the combat power of the Mecha, it's just a hammer." But after thinking about it, it didn't amount to much, so he just nodded silently.

Due to the outstanding performance of Ke Lan and the others in the battle just now, many remaining soldiers from the first and second batch of airborne troops gathered here. Ke Lan made a rough count and found that there were about eighty people following him, excluding Excluding those seriously wounded who were unable to fight, there were about sixty soldiers who could fight.

The first batch of airborne troops invested about a thousand elite soldiers, but very few of these thousand survived, and almost one-third of them were on Ke Lan's side. In addition, there are less than two hundred people scattered in various angles of the battlefield, unable to gather together for the time being.

Ke Lan has no time to gather more troops. It won't be long before these black-clothed men and giants will regain their ability to move again - by then, the enemies they have to face will no longer be black-clothed men with modern firearms. , but an army of all kinds of "corroded corpses" with all kinds of incredible special abilities.

Without exposing himself and Ze Luo, Ke Lan and the others had absolutely no chance of winning when faced with such a large number of "corroded remains".

But from a certain perspective, "Corruption" cannot actually be regarded as an absolute enemy... Just like the electromagnetic pulse bomb that just exploded, Corruption's attack does not distinguish between friend and foe.

Generally speaking, some corpses with deep obsessions in life will retain some fragmented self-awareness, and this self-awareness will drive them to do things related to the obsessions in life.

Just like the eroded corpse that led Ke Lan to the Tower of Babel, although it lost all its memories, its obsession during its lifetime was related to the Tower of Babel and the things in the tower. When it felt in danger , will naturally go to the Tower of Babel to "seek refuge."

But these men in black are different. They had no self-personality at all during their lifetime. Their consciousness is like a piece of white paper. They do whatever the instructions from the control chip are. They do not have the power to choose themselves. And when the control chips are burned down, the corpses they transform into will naturally not have any "obsession" and will only act according to the instinct of living things.

Of course, the Undead Crew can also implant false memories to make these men in black have some so-called obsessions, but doing so requires a lot of time and energy. These mass-produced consumable puppets are not qualified to enjoy this treatment.

This was originally a harmless loophole, but in Ke Lan's eyes, it became a rare opportunity.

If this army of "corroded corpses" is used well, it can actually help Ke Lan and the others break through the Ark.

"Everyone, come here. I have to tell you something. Time is very tight. I will only tell you once. Please pay attention!" Ke Lan said to the soldiers around him.

These soldiers did not know Ke Lan's identity, but Ke Lan was wearing a combat uniform with the rank of colonel. The highest-ranking officer in this airborne force was only a colonel. In the eyes of the soldiers, he was a natural He became a commander on the battlefield.

Even if the soldiers did not know this "colonel" at all, when their commander was killed in battle, the battlefield situation was extremely chaotic, and many troops were dispersed, their only choice was to listen to the person with the highest rank around them. The command.

What's more, this "colonel" just showed extremely strong combat power and saved many lives. At first glance, he is a high-level enhanced person - even with an empty military rank, the soldiers may not be convinced. , but if they also have strong combat power and life-saving grace, these soldiers are definitely willing to follow Ke Lan through life and death.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked over. There was more or less a hint of fatigue in the eyes of these soldiers, but Ke Lan did not see any intention of retreat in anyone's eyes - when he was selected into the airborne force, They all realized that these soldiers were boarding the transport plane with the intention of dying. They know very well that this battle is crucial. For human civilization, retreat... means destruction.

"What was just detonated was an EMP bomb. The control chip in the enemy's brain has been destroyed, so they will temporarily stop moving." Ke Lan said quickly, "But it won't be long before they wake up again. Although the enemy The leader can no longer control them, but their physical power will also lose control and transform them into complete monsters."

"Many of you should have fought against these monsters. You should know how terrifying they are. Therefore, we must break into the Ark before the enemy resumes action."

"Do we need to set up explosives at the entrance?" asked a soldier wearing heavy armor and carrying a large number of heavy weapons. "Blow up the entrance so that these monsters can't catch up with us."

"No, we can use these monsters... They have no self-awareness and cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy... They will attack us, our enemies, and even kill each other... To be precise, they will attack any field of view There are moving things in it. We will encounter more and stronger enemies in the future. We cannot break through the obstruction of these enemies by relying on our own strength alone. We must use this power!" Ke Lan quickly explained , "There is a vertical lift shaft for helicopters on the west side. I plan to break through from there. In addition, leave all the seriously injured people who are unable to fight. When the next batch of airborne troops arrives, you can take their planes to leave the battlefield."

After Ke Lan finished speaking, he gave Ze Luo a look secretly. Valentina who was standing aside suddenly passed out without warning. Ke Lan reached out and fished her out, just in time to catch her in his arms.

"Remember to take her with you. If she is allowed to die here, her father will definitely tear me alive." Ke Lan said to a soldier who was slightly injured.

The wounded men nodded solemnly, looked at Ke Lan and said, "Leave it to me." They took Valentina from Ke Lan's hands, and the two of them carried her up.

Ke Lan looked up and looked into the distance. The third batch of transport planes was flying here. It was expected to reach the gap in the energy shield above in another minute. He turned his head and said to the wounded: "When the transport planes arrive, give them to them." Send a signal so that the third group of airborne troops don’t have to come down. Take you and leave as soon as possible... After these men in black turn into monsters, no matter how many more people come down, they will be sent away."

"Understood!" shouted a soldier whose arm was blown off and half of his body was dyed reddish-brown with blood. He used his only remaining arm to salute Ke Lan with a military salute.

At the same time, the wounded took out their weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies and handed them to the soldiers who would break into the Ark with Ke Lan later. No one said much, and the handover of equipment was carried out silently and quickly. In progress.

The third batch of transport planes finally arrived at the gap. A wounded man walked to the open space, took out the signal flag and waved it. After seeing the airdrop hatch of the transport planes that had just been opened closed again, and several of them began to lower their altitude. After that, Ke Lan and more than 60 other soldiers turned their heads without hesitation and ran towards the vertical lift channel to the west.

…

This vertical lift channel is prepared for helicopters and some aircraft with vertical take-off and landing functions like the "Osprey". The other end of the channel is connected to a small hangar. This hangar is not owned by the military, but is officially established by Ark and leased to major financial groups.

Every famous consortium or big family on the Ark basically has one or two parking spaces in this hangar - this hangar is connected to the Ark's superstructure in the physical sense, and also to the Ark's power class. peak.

Ke Lan and the soldiers climbed down the ladder used for maintenance on the passage wall and entered the hangar. This hangar is called a "small hangar" because it is compared to those large airports. In fact, this hangar covers an extremely large area. Counting the stacked platforms, there are more than 800 parking spaces in total. Most of the parking spaces were empty, and less than one-tenth of the parking spaces contained aircraft that looked like they were worth a lot of money.

Giant trees have also invaded this hangar - one-third of the space of the hangar has been occupied by pale tree trunks. The floor and ceiling are torn and deformed under the action of huge force, and those who step on the cracked tree trunks A heart-wrenching creak could be heard on the metal floor, as if the ground would collapse at any time.

Many pale roots extended from the trunk and spread along the walls, floors and ceilings. One soldier curiously wanted to use the barrel of his gun to tease away the roots in front of him. Fortunately, Ke Lan stopped him in time.

"Be careful! These roots are alive, don't touch them!"
