Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Is that the Agor young man just now?"

"No." Alpha didn't beat around the bush, "He's just an ordinary kid, don't embarrass him."

Then, at this place where outsiders would not notice, she waved her hand and brushed her face. The originally beautiful face of Xiao Yu briefly changed into a graceful and graceful lady, the same lady she had just seen in the square. .

74.An army against the general

On the streets of Glenfalot, it seems that because of the arrival of the Tribunal, many residents who are afraid of the power of the Tribunal have chosen to stay behind closed doors.The town that was originally quite popular suddenly became depressed.

This city is very close to the core area of ​​the Tribunal. Of course, it is impossible for the people to embrace the Church of the Deep Sea. Moreover, most of the residents here were from the last time Iberia wanted to counterattack and retake the Eye of Iberia Lighthouse. The workers and descendants of the workers who were mobilized here to plan the restoration of the lighthouse were naturally wary of the sea that was constantly eroding the land.

But it is also a pity that the Deep Sea Church's infiltration into Glenfalot had consequences not only the failure of the counterattack. When the Deep Sea Church members hidden among the people were purged by the Tribunal, the Tribunal also This unquestionable but unexplained style has caused emotional harm to local residents, making them still unable to believe in the Inquisition.

This is the current situation in Glenfaro, and this is the current situation in Iberia.

"This is Ceria. The target has been noticed and has escaped through the secret passage." Alpha, who was walking around the town with Carmen to check the situation, received a communication from Ceria.

Seria has been secretly tracking the Deep Sea Bishop Amaya. With the help of the concealment function of the armor, she easily got close to the hiding place where Amaya stayed. However, when she was about to sneak in to investigate, she climbed through the window and met with her. The only people they encountered were two deep-sea cultists whose bodies had mutated to a certain extent.

Ceria was not sure whether her whereabouts had been tracked, but it was obvious that Amaya was not in this room, and the two deep-sea cultists who had already shown the mutation of Haihe successfully delayed by relying on their powerful self-regeneration ability. stopped her steps.

It was difficult for fists and tactical swords to cause fatal injuries to them. Knowing that their whereabouts had been exposed, Ceria decisively drew her gun after the first round of fighting and ended the battle with the Zero Calibration given to her by Alpha.Then she discovered a secret underground passage in this room, not knowing where it led.

"Don't pursue her too deeply. It's enough to force her to run away."

"Copy that." After receiving the instruction, Ceria quickly evacuated the scene after briefly dealing with the unrecognizable remains of the two deep-sea cultists who were blasted by beam energy weapons.

……

"Why didn't you just capture her in the city? You should have the ability." Carmen looked at Alpha, who directly made detailed intelligence on his subordinates without relying on any reference materials, and expressed her doubts.

"There is a sea heir with the potential to re-evolve into the leader of the group, waiting to join her. Only by letting her escape can I find the location of the heir by locating her."

"You can track her?" Carmen couldn't believe it. The group of them had never had any contact with Amaya. How did she track her?

"You just know I can do it."

At this moment, a black figure flashed past not far in front of the three people, and entered the alley from one side into the alley on the other side.The black figure was close to a large dog in size and moved extremely quickly.But unfortunately, it met Alpha.

Before Kelsey's Mon3tr and the Grand Inquisitor could react, Alpha threw it casually, and the stone he picked up on the roadside created a sharp sonic boom, piercing through the monster. The broken stone fragments were a threat to the unarmored terror. The aftereffects were extremely good for the fish. This one stone caused it to flop to the ground on the spot and lose its ability to move.

"This is indeed, a fearfish..." Compared to the calm Saltwind City, the Haihei everyone encountered this time was obviously more aggressive. Everyone noticed that it began to rot quickly, and it usually appeared in the calm sea. In the petri dish, there is only a gray-blue carpet that can only spread slowly - Ming Xu. It is spreading outward from its body's wounds and everywhere, contaminating the surrounding ground in the blink of an eye. .

"They are probably different from the fish species in Saltwind City, and the sea heirs here in Glenfalot are obviously more willing to invade and expand."

"It's really troublesome..." Kelsey sighed.

"Are scars really only found on fish?" Alpha looked at Carmen beside him and asked an important question. However, the Grand Inquisitor had no way to figure it out at this time.

“I don’t know if you have ever seen a phenomenon. Under a seemingly smooth and tidy lawn, the creeping fungal hyphae scratch along the soil and then spread from one point to form a large circle, which can grow in the entire circle. Pick up a lot of mushrooms."

Hearing Alpha's seemingly confused question, Carmen suddenly understood what she meant and became nervous.He immediately tried to connect with the mobilized Punishment Army, and then received a piece of news that made him take a breath of cold air. The Judgment Army had placed a siege on Glenfalot because a large number of scars appeared in the town. The peripheral area cannot be maintained. In order to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, the commanders of the Punishment Army ordered to slow down their advance and maintain their own safety to the maximum extent while clearing the germ carpet.

No one wants to see the fungus carpet spread rapidly on the ground, wrapping up and devouring all people and equipment.

Alpha waved lightly, releasing the deadly gamma rays under her control, inactivating and disinfecting the dead hen.

"It's not that we surrounded Glenfalot, but the enemy surrounded us with the help of Glenfalot, a city where they have been rooted for quite some time." Kelsey gave a rough summary of the current situation.

At least for now, everyone lost in the first round of the competition in a hidden place.

"I only discovered this matter after I came to the town. This matter will be very troublesome, but it's okay..."

……

Around the Star of Life, a carpet of blue microorganisms is growing out of the dormant soil at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, Disel has led everyone to prepare.

As early as when it entered Iberia, the Life Star had already prepared professional equipment to deal with various special biological threats. Among them were not only fully enclosed power armor for all personnel, but also a large number of related equipment related to the vehicle body itself. transformation and upgrading.

From the car body and running gear layers with cytotoxicity and dispersion capabilities to the specialized mobile purification station modeled after the Pamish purification tower, the Life Star can easily maintain a long and narrow channel for cleaning, making The men of the Punishment Army walked through Glenfalot.

75. Cover card in the backcourt

On the water side of the Siesta volcano, the giant obsidian sculpture left by the Fire Giant separates the sight of the city from the development zone further away.Behind his sheltered position, a huge fully enclosed factory building was built overnight due to an emergency mission and was directly connected to the water of Lake Siesta.

No one knows the purpose of constructing that huge facility with a dock. Some people familiar with the situation in Siesta just know that a secret project will be carried out there.Maybe a big ship, maybe something else?

All the raw materials for that factory come from the industrial area at the foot of the volcano, and several high-quality printers are serving it at full power. In order to complete this higher-priority task, the construction period of the volcano development project has fallen behind to a certain extent. .

For the people of Siesta, especially Mayor Hermann and others who have a relatively deeper understanding of the current situation, they all expressed unconditional support for all efforts made by Alpha to cope with the challenges of the ocean.

On this day, the same day that the Life Star arrived at Glenfalot, and earlier, the long-closed factory made some adjustments. Amidst the roar, a huge amount of water filled the dry dock. This made everyone who knew about ocean ships realize that something was about to be launched into the water.

However, the gate of the secret dock was opened and the water flowed, but no one saw anything leaving.On a fishing boat fishing in the distance, an old captain said that he saw a huge fin swimming out of the dock, and then quickly disappeared far away from the coastline.

A secret shipyard that made a fish?This matter has become a topic of discussion among the captains of offshore fishing in the past few days, but other people familiar with the matter believe that it is some kind of high-tech vehicle that drives and swims underwater, made by Alpha.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The thing created by Alpha, its blueprint prototype, has a name shared with another form - Xila.An artificial sea monster based on Golden Age technology and Kurono's secret technology, a petri dish used by the Vonnegut Group to incubate high-dimensional door keys.

However, those functions that have nothing to do with the current ocean mission have been eliminated by Alpha. She simply retains the comprehensive underwater operation capabilities of this bionic whale-shaped vehicle. This confirms the existence of a channel between Lake Siesta and the ocean. After that, construction started and all the construction work was completed within a week. Alpha preferred to call its internal code name - "Basilosaurus".

千::寻".?'?免,;;费:'"'小"';!'说'.,裙;;"2;5"':5?5'!::9':"5;;';?3"0;..0　　它不再是升格者克希拉的载体和形体，而只是一个用于应对海洋任务的大型军事单位。借助那场属于拉弥亚自己的战斗，阿尔法知道了它的所有细节。而所有那些知识记忆，变成了现在正在全速向大海游去的“那条大鱼。

The industrial construction equipment in Alpha's hands has withstood the test. Beilian's quality printers and UEG government's industrial robots successfully completed this urgent work in full compliance with quality requirements, on time and in quantity.

All unnecessary functions have been eliminated, so that this behemoth, which weighs thousands of tons but can swim freely in the ocean, is enough to carry all the weapons currently available to Alpha that can be used in the ocean.At the same time, a highly protective crew cabin has been set up in the place originally used to house the training facility, which can accommodate three to five members.

It set out from Siesta's dock, omitting all tests and experiments. Even during the construction process, its fuel tank was already filled, and the internal automatic factory warehouse was already filled with all the consumption needed to cope with the mission. After collecting materials, it was like a miracle that he caught up with the mission of Glenfallo.

Controlled by the newly derived auxiliary consciousness, Decotto, this man-made behemoth is underwater, speeding across lakes and oceans at a speed of more than [-] knots, towards the Glenfalot Highway. go ahead.

Because a large number of unnecessary functions have been removed, compared to Xila, the current Basilosaurus has a considerable amount of space freed up, allowing Alpha to install three sets of underwater ultraviolet laser arrays, an acoustic pulse damage array, and Water and air dual-use vertical launch unit to enhance intuitive combat and damage capabilities.

These weapon units are connected to the integrated automatic factory inside the Basilosaurus, which can replenish the weapons and ammunition of the consumable part until the spare materials are exhausted.The peer-to-peer application of construct technology gives this sea beast sufficient flexibility and physical strength. It can even activate a special shield system that is only commonly equipped on constructs.

For Alpha, which is in urgent need of a large-scale underwater combat platform, this method of improving known items and directly producing them can alleviate the urgent need. However, this thing really consumes the life of the quality printer, and Alpha still needs to pass Special materials and supplies created by special means. When this storm is over, if there is still a plan for deep-sea operations, it would be better to seriously design and build a type of combat submarine.

……

Shortly after the Basilosaurus departed, on the runway of Siesta Airport, four Pioneer-class transport aircraft lined up in a column like elephants strolling, and were ready to taxi and take off on the runway.

The Rainbow Team and the special service response team that had completed their final training boarded the plane with all weapons, equipment and supplies. They would take off at [-] o'clock in the morning. After flying over Glenfalot, they would fly under the clouds. Hovering above, waiting for Alpha's arrangements for the next move.

All soldiers are wearing power armor, auxiliary external high-altitude landing equipment is in place, and various life-saving and combat equipment have been repeatedly inspected.Together with the mass-produced Radiant Marchers that are still on standby, this team is ready to make a high-altitude blind landing anywhere in Iberia and carry out operations.

Soon, the fleet received a communication from the tower, and then the engine power began to increase. The four transport planes began to taxi, and soon they soared into the sky one after another.They regrouped in the extremely empty area above the airport, and then calibrated their course through relay stations and ultra-high-altitude drones. The four planes flew towards Iberia, moving forward without hesitation.

I don’t know if the roar of the motor driven by the micro-reactor in the sky and the huge structural whale tail driven by the energy core of the underwater reactor will pass by at some point, but no matter what, Alpha has caught a lot of them now. The queen is placed on her side of the chessboard.

76. Seriously, this is interspecies competition

On the streets of Glenfalot, Ceria raised the window laser in her hand. In the humid but clean air, the light path of high-energy X-rays was not visible, but when it shined on the dinofish, the high-energy laser would diffuse in the air. A visible light spot is formed due to reflection. Almost all of the energy of the X-rays acted on Hai Hei's biological tissues, and the energy accumulated in an instant boiled its internal organs and exploded into minced meat on the ground.

The failure of the attempt to hunt down the Deep Sea Bishop was expected by everyone. Otherwise, they would not have arranged for Seria, who has the strongest self-preservation ability, to try it alone. In Alpha's words, it is best to catch the best, and it is impossible to catch it. Nothing to lose.

The remaining work is to clean up all the exposed cultists in the town of Granfalo who are eager to cover the evacuation of Amaya and other high-level deep-sea cultists, as well as the fear fish they control.

When fighting in towns, it is not suitable to use a device like Quasar with huge collateral damage capability. One shot can burn down half a block and even civilians and houses to ashes. It is not suitable in any way.But the very successful window laser gun that Levi had been working on was different. With the powerful and miraculous weapon energy provided by Alpha and the processing equipment with sufficient precision, Levi easily made this weapon that could be used in the sea. Directed energy weapons used.

Now it seems that it performs very well in the air. Due to the characteristics of X-rays themselves, its energy can directly act on all biomass on the entire light path. Its killing effect on living organisms is quite terrifying.Moreover, the highly concentrated nature of laser energy means that if you want to use shell materials to completely shield the body from aurora damage, the effect of the laser itself will change from burning with high-energy rays to vaporizing the shielding material at the impact point of the bomb to create an explosive impact.

To kill a normal-sized Terrorist, this weapon only requires 50.00 seconds of continuous irradiation. For larger individuals, it only requires [-]% more irradiation time.This kind of killing efficiency is really too efficient for the small number of heirs hidden in Granfalo.

Behind every combat team is a decontamination team. They carry spray devices. The spray cans store a pheromone used to cause the death of sea heir cells. This directional pheromone is used in Salt Wind City. Found on the self-apoptotic humanoid heir.After experiments, it was found that it would take quite some time for this thing to affect the heirs who still had a complete body, but it was almost immediately effective when used to clean up heirloom tissues that were diffuse and had lower levels of hormone control.

Until the Haihe tribe realizes this problem and changes the pheromones used by the entire group for related biological effects, this will be a better and more thorough cleaning method than burning with plasma flames.

As a kind of pheromone, the amount required for its effect is extremely weak. That is to say, even the sea heir cells hiding deep in the soil will be affected by trace amounts of pharmaceuticals diffusing in the moist soil within a short period of time. Influence.

This kind of operation shocked Saint Carmen. Iberian biologists can only summarize the biological forms and activity patterns of sea heirs, but they know nothing about a little more in-depth content. But even Iberia in the golden age Leah researchers never realized that biological hormones could play this role.

……

Alpha, Carmen and Kelsey were walking on the street. At the intersection they just passed, Koloff's team had just cleared out a deep-sea cultist and the heirs it led. The cultist who had not lost his human form fell to the ground, and its Half of his head was transformed beyond recognition due to the explosion caused by the violent expansion of the brain tissue boiled and vaporized by the high-energy laser.The traces of Hai Si on the body were also withered and shriveled, red and white were splashed all over the floor, and they were still steaming.

The remains of several dinosaur fish lay around it. The flesh and blood on its body decomposed and melted under the action of apoptotic pheromones, leaving only the skeleton containing calcium salts that had not been completely broken. These things were left all over the ground. The traces underneath looked extremely miserable.

"Ms. Alpha, I thought you would take some gentler measures." After learning about what happened in Saltwind City and the courtesy and concessions given to Alpha by the Haihei group, Carmen once thought that even if she took action, Alpha will probably also give the other party a relatively decent ending - leaving a whole body.

But I didn't expect that Alpha and her soldiers would do anything to Haiji. If they were caught in the city, they would be beaten to pieces with laser guns, and if they were caught on the beach, they would be burned with ion cannons. Not only were the charcoal residues on the ground destroyed physically, but they also needed to be given a biological blow with that pheromone, for fear that their death would not be thorough enough.

"Mr. Carmen, you need to realize a very important concept. The relationship between humans and heirs is cruel. It is a life-and-death inter-species competition. There is no reconciliation or peace at all. I can understand the purpose of the group's actions and accept the will of the group. Invitation to speak in the deep sea, but this does not mean that I, who have always been in the human camp, will choose any tolerant policy."

After hearing what Alpha said, Saint Carmen nodded silently. Alpha straightforwardly explained the contradiction between humans and heirs from an ecological perspective. This was a brand-new perspective that Carmen had never thought of before.

Even if... Kelsey looked at the remains of the fish on the ground. In the town, the sound of heat dissipation after being activated by high-energy lasers, the screams of dying heirs, and the smell of burnt protein were everywhere.

There were some things that Kelsey couldn't tell, so she could only remain silent and protect the civilization on land in her own way. And those things, Alpha said very thoroughly.

Even if the sea descendants are indeed biological tools left behind by previous civilizations, and even if their original intention of acting is still to serve human civilization, they have now become essentially and truly synonymous with all civilizations that exist in human form. Niche competitors compete for the top position in the food chain, and compete for the "civilized" position under limited resources.

Alpha is right. This is a life-and-death war. Even if there is mutual understanding, it will only happen after one party completely fails and becomes the nourishment of the other party.

"Well said, these words have awakened me." Carmen smiled, allies who can truly understand the threats that Iberia is facing now are so precious in this chaotic land.

At this time, Alpha handed his terminal to Carmen, "The drone that has been replaced with a new scanning device has sent back the detection results. The results are not optimistic, but I think you have to take a look."

Carmen took the terminal tablet, and on the computer's display screen, a detailed topographic map of Granfalo and the surrounding area was drawn. However, on top of the topographic map, there was another layer marked with changing colors. There is some kind of trend.

"Those color patches represent the spectrum of marine cells that the drone can distinguish. Green means there is no pollution. The redder and darker the color, the more serious the pollution."

"I understand..." Carmen observed the picture carefully again. He sincerely hoped that what he saw before was not true, but the fact responded to him with anger that made him almost mad.Glenfalot, a town near the core area of ​​the Tribunal that held hope for revival, and its coastal waters were shrouded in a red and black cloud, while the surrounding land was blood red.

77. Let us open the skylight and speak frankly. jpg

"Alpha! The Life Star needs support!" Just when the action team was chasing Haiji and the Deep Sea Cultists in Glenfalot and killing them all over the streets, a message came from the communication channel that no one had ever thought of, but was also the least willing to do. After hearing the news, the Star of Life, which was originally thought to be well prepared and capable of breaking through the blockade of the entire Minghen area, was actually in danger.

"No, Haiji himself can't do this." Alpha frowned, "The deep-sea cultists with high independent intelligence in the city are now playing battle royale with us. The Haiji group itself cannot choose to fight against the extremely threatening people. The Life Star uses all its strength to launch an attack that threatens her."

Kelsey immediately understood what Alpha meant. All living things have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the various defensive firepower and purification equipment currently deployed by the Life Star are a huge threat to the Haihe organization without a command. Source of risk.There must be some high-level being who is powerful enough in his own right to guide Haiji to break through the defense line of the Life Star.

"I'll be back as soon as I go." The Blade Halberd waved in the air, and the rift in space opened. At this moment, Carmen and Kelsey, who were standing next to Alpha, both saw the scene on the other side of the rift. Levi, who was furious, was carrying Two Nine-Zi Zhi Ding and a guy dressed as a deep-sea hunter were pushed together.It was hard to tell for a while that Levi had no fighting qualities. He relied entirely on the powerful physical performance of the structure, superhuman reaction speed and damage tolerance to fight against the deep-sea hunter on the opposite side who used a huge scythe shaped like an anchor.He looked very angry.

Seeing this scene, Alpha became angry all of a sudden. To make Levi so angry, I am afraid that the deep-sea hunter is going to attack some important facilities of the Star of Life, or the volunteer Anne who just took in the observation sample. Tower takes action.Levi's look was exactly like the expression he would show after someone smashed important equipment in his laboratory and destroyed the materials he was preparing for his next paper.

In other words, you’re going to smash my figurine, right?

Seeing this situation, Kelsey also realized that something was wrong. She quickly followed Alpha and passed through the space rift.Carmen thought for a while and followed.

By the time she recovered from the brief dizziness caused by the teleportation, Alpha had already stepped on the deep sea hunter to the ground, knocked away his weapon, and held Mortis, the blade in the form of a trident, against his throat. .
