Alien Relic Hunter

"What's the meaning?"

"These people came off the Ark, not the exiles from outside!!"

"Are you sure?" There was a hint of solemnity in Hound's tone. He retracted his flaps and quickly dived in the direction of Layton.

"Sure! If you don't believe it, come see for yourself." Leighton said confidently.

"Stop chasing, gather your formation, and land!" The hound quickly landed after giving an order, using a few steps to buffer the inertia of the fall, and then quickly ran towards the man who was subdued by Leighton. of prisoners.

When he got closer, the hound realized that the prisoner was about to die. His limbs were twitching constantly, and saliva mixed with white foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He opened his eyelids with his hands and saw that his pupils had dilated.

"Fuck, I asked you to grab your tongue, why did the person die!" The hound kicked Layton on the knee.

At this time, Ke Lan also landed on the ground, followed by Ivan. As for Asano Akira, he stayed on the battleship and did not participate in this operation.

"He took the poison before I even hit the ground. The pill melted as soon as it entered my mouth. I couldn't even pick it out." Leighton raised his finger, which was stained with some saliva and a small amount of pasty light yellow powder. .

"Geez... these dead warriors!" Hound rubbed the stubble on his chin impatiently, "By the way, you just said that this guy is not an exile. Where is the evidence?"

"Look." Leighton ripped off the camouflage cloak on the deceased, and saw a set of well-made standard light infantry armor inside. Ke Lan had seen this thing in the black market, and it could be sold second-hand. More than 10,000 credits.

"...It's the 'Ranger Type IV' armor. The exiles really can't afford such a good product." The hound squatted down and groped around the waist of the corpse.

"Don't look for it, the production batch and number on it have been scratched off - but I can guarantee that this set of armor is definitely new less than a month after leaving the factory. I can even smell the stamping machine on the armor. The smell of engine oil that’s left behind,” Layton said.

"It seems that things are far from that simple... We may be involved in a big trouble..." Hound curled his lips, "Let's go back to the ship. I will talk to the lieutenant colonel about the matter."

"Why don't you take the body back? Or take some blood samples or scan the irises? At least we can find out this guy's identification code." Layton followed the hound and whispered.

The hound looked around, and after finding that there were only a few of their "own people", he waved to Layton and said mysteriously: "Come here."

"Huh?" Layton obediently moved forward, but was hit hard on the head by the hound.

"Fuck! Why did you hit me?!" Layton felt aggrieved.

Hound lowered his voice and said: "If you want to die, don't involve us... The background of this group of people is obviously very unusual. If we just go back and finish the record, then this matter has nothing to do with us. But if We found out the identities of this group of people, and then all the troubles that followed were fatal, and they couldn't be driven away. The brothers all remembered that when they went back to take notes, they asked why no biological information samples were collected. Just say they forgot, those people will only follow the procedures and will not embarrass us."

"Hiss... Old dog, do you know something hidden?" Layton glanced at the marines behind him with some concern. Without the order of the hound, of course they would not take the body away without authorization.

"I know shit. If I had known, I would have turned into fertilizer!" The hound spat and said, "Hurry up and let the battleship come pick us up."

"Wait a minute." Ke Lan seemed to have suddenly thought of something and grabbed the old dog. "Since these people are not exiles, why did they attack us?"

"Oh, I've already said it... let's not delve into this matter. If you can't afford to offend, don't offend. Why do you young people just..." Hound sighed and said.

"That's not what I mean. I mean, if they are not exiles, what is the point of their suicide attack? Just that kind of individual rocket launcher, not to mention the shield, even the armor of the battleship It can't even be penetrated..." As he said that, Ke Lan suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted quickly: "Quickly, let the battleship raise its altitude and adjust the power of the energy shield to the maximum level! The attack is not over yet! "

"You mean these people are just bait?" The hound was startled and was about to contact the captain, but only strong current noise could be heard in the communication channel.

"Damn it, forget about this!" The hound tried to change several channels, but to no avail. This river valley was shrouded in an electromagnetic interference field, and short-distance communications a few hundred meters away were not greatly affected. But there was no way to contact the battleship.

"Signal language, do any of you know semaphore language?" Ke Lan had an idea and ran back to the corpse, using a dagger to cut off the entire camouflage cloak.

"I can." Leighton took the cloak and was about to wave it, but stopped again, "But...how to tell the people on the ship? There are only a few types of commonly used semaphores...if you change it to letters If so, this sentence must have at least hundreds of actions!"

"Idiot, just send a signal to contact the enemy!" Hound said urgently.

However... before Layton could wave his cloak, the ground in the valley suddenly trembled violently, and then, a dazzling white beam of light broke through the rock formations and headed straight for the battleship in the sky!

Almost instantly, the white beam collided with the battleship's energy shield... There was no explosion as expected, and there were no flying sparks. All we could see was that the luster of the energy shield quickly dimmed, as if A pot of hot water was poured on the snow, and the shield melted away in just a few seconds.

"That's...'Death Light'!!" Layton swallowed with some difficulty.

"Death ray? What is that?" Ke Lan asked. Compared to Layton, an expert, he knew very little about weapons.

"That is the powerful weapon of the Alpha civilization! I didn't expect that there is a 'death ray' buried under this river valley!" Layton sighed repeatedly. At this time, the white beam had begun to contact the armor of the battleship, and large areas of armor quietly Silently turned into fly ash, the internal structure of the ship was gradually exposed.

"I don't know how the Alphas did it... They captured a large amount of antimatter in a stable state and made it into a weapon. Nothing can block the death light. It will annihilate all matter and energy it comes into contact with. …Until the antimatter inside is completely neutralized.”

There were explosions everywhere on the battleship, but where it came into contact with the death light, even the shock waves and flames of the explosion were swallowed up...

"Since it is a weapon of Alpha civilization, it must be powered by crystals. If we cut off its energy source, can we stop it?"

Layton shook his head: "Most of the energy weapons of the Alpha civilization use crystals as their energy source, except for the death ray. The antimatter it emits was stored by the Alpha planet tens of thousands of years ago, and basically does not require external energy supply... It's just that I don't understand how these guys activate the 'death ray'... This thing is not the kind of thing that can be fired by pulling the trigger."

The battleship has begun to disintegrate. A large number of burning debris fell from the sky. The thick smoke dragged out black tracks. More than a dozen escape cabins were ejected from the rear of the battleship - obviously, the captain had given the order to abandon the ship and escape. The command.

"Sometimes... if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come to you." Hound stared blankly at the battleship falling from the sky and murmured.
