Alien Relic Hunter

"It seems that the commander of the First Fleet is also very afraid of the 'replication' ability of those insects." Ke Lan said.

All the warships of the First Fleet are only conducting long-range bombardment several kilometers away, and have no intention of continuing to move forward. In this way, even if one's own warships are unfortunately shot down, they will not fall on Leviathan and suffer damage. to the other party's copy.

The four attacking "Guards" mechas each carry a strange-looking rail gun. The barrel of this gun is nearly twenty meters long, which reserves a sufficient length of acceleration track for the projectiles in the barrel. A single hit could directly destroy a fighter jet "copied" by Leviathan - the four mechas had already shot down thirty-nine enemy planes just by flying past the formation.

"There is something really good about this accuracy. Even with the auxiliary aiming system, the hit rate of more than 80% at this moving speed is amazing." Hound said with admiration.

Of the thirty-nine kills, more than half were achieved by the mecha numbered "Zhai-167". At this time, all its railgun shells had been fired, and the slender barrel After being folded up and put back on his back, he switched the weapon to the large-caliber cannon installed on both arms of the mecha, and began to shoot at the approaching enemy planes.

The number of fighter jets copied by Leviathan was too great. Even with the fire support of the fleet, the four mechas were still locked in a bitter battle.

"Hurry up and send reinforcements to the house god!" Layton clenched his fists and shouted anxiously, "What does the commander of the fleet think? Does he think that just these four mechas can kill all these ghosts? ?"

"This should still be a test." Ke Lan frowned and said, "But what makes me a little confused is what is the purpose of their test... Could it be said that the commander of the fleet has specific countermeasures? These four Is the mecha just to verify the feasibility of this countermeasure?"

Although the number of kills of the four "Guards" mechas was rising, more and more enemy planes were approaching them. Just when they were focusing all their attention on the enemy in front, a copied However, the Night Owl-class fighter quietly launched an attack from below, heading straight for one of the "Guard" mechas painted in blue and gray.

Red laser beams were continuously shot from the muzzle at the front of the "Night Owl", but this lightweight energy weapon was unable to break through the shield of the "Guard" mecha - the two The distance between them was shrinking rapidly. Just when the "Night Owl" was about to collide head-on, the blue-gray-painted "Guard" mecha suddenly dodged sideways and pulled out a gun from its waist. The short knife was stabbed down quickly, directly penetrating the cabin of the "Night Owl Class"!

"Beautiful!" Layton cheered, but the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The pierced "Night Owl" did not explode. Instead, countless slender fleshy tentacles extended from the fuselage, frantically wrapping around the nearby mecha. The mecha's pilot seemed to want to He tried to evade, but one of the fastest tentacles had already reached into the thruster nozzle on the back of the mecha. Along with an explosion, thick black smoke spurted out from the thruster.

The mecha that lost its main power was quickly surrounded by swarming "replicators". More tentacles bound him tightly, wrapped it into a huge meat ball, and headed straight towards it. Falling——

The myth of the harmlessness of Zakumi Masayuki's team was finally completely shattered today.

However, including Zhai-167, the remaining three "Guard" mechas had no intention of retreating. Not only that, they instead transformed into faster fighter forms and headed towards Levi below. Tan dives away!

"They... what are they going to do?" Layton rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Do they still carry large-yield bombs on their bodies?"

"No...their mission is to search..." Ke Lan held his breath, "They are searching for key points on Leviathan to determine the target for the fleet's next key blow!"

The three "Guards" mechas flew over almost against the energy shield on Leviathan's surface, and behind them were followed by a swarm of "replicators", including several "replicators" It even hit Leviathan's shield directly because of its fierce momentum, and exploded!

Just as Ke Lan said, the "Guard" mecha did not launch an attack on Leviathan. Instead, after being lifted into the air, it plunged down again and followed another trajectory as it flew past. Several times, the mecha's shield rubbed against Leviathan's shield, dragging out streaks of brilliant fire.

Another mecha was "bitten" by two replicators, but before those tentacles could invade the inside of the mecha, the mecha pilot resolutely took the two machines and turned them into tentacle monsters. The replicator crashed into the shield below, choosing to die with the enemy!

…

After four dives, the entire team was left with only one aircraft, the "Zhai-167", and its energy reserves had bottomed out. Not only could it no longer maintain the body's energy shield, but even its flight speed had dropped. It was not as good as before, and it was about to be overtaken by the copying machines at the end.

But at this moment, Masayuki Zami's voice suddenly rang in the communication channel of the entire fleet. Even Ke Lan and the others could hear it clearly: "Found it! I found it! Coordinates 522, 794, depth 880 meters! I’m looking for——”

His voice stopped abruptly, and a red beam of light penetrated the cockpit of the "Guardian" mecha. The next moment, the entire mecha disintegrated in the explosion, and the fragments fell from the sky trailing thick smoke.

"The House God... was killed in battle?" Leiton stretched out his hand and pinched his face hard, "Oh... shit... it's true, the House God..."

Just when Leighton was still in shock and unable to recover for a long time, the flagship of the first fleet moved.

Countless small escape boats flew out from the various hatches of the flagship, and then the flagship began to gradually accelerate and rushed towards Leviathan.

"What...what is this for?" Zhuoligetu asked with his eyes widened, looking at the flagship rushing towards the replicator's gunfire alone.

"...It was a suicide attack." Ke Lan, who was the first to react, said, "I understand... Masayuki Zakumi and his team marked the vital parts of Leviathan's body at the cost of their own lives, and then The flagship with only a minimum of operating personnel is fired as a 'cannonball'. The super-large crystal engine inside the flagship is the explosive in this cannonball... Leviathan's energy shield can block the bombardment of the fleet, but it blocks This super-massive 'cannonball' can't be contained!"

The reason for this is the same as when the monsters attacked the Soma Consortium base before: Although the energy shield of the base can block the acid spit by those monsters, if these monsters choose to forcefully crash into the shield, as energy bodies However, Leviathan's shield cannot stop them... In the same way, although Leviathan's shield can instantly vaporize all physical shells fired at it, if the mass of this "shell" is large enough, it will If it penetrates this shield before it is completely ablated, then the shield will be completely useless to it.

"If you don't move, you'll be fine. If you move, you'll be like thunder. Just hope for one strike to succeed... This is the plan of the First Fleet... I'm really curious about what kind of person the commander of this fleet is..."

"You'll never have the chance to see him again." Hound suddenly sighed heavily and said to Ke Lan, "In addition to the minimum operating personnel, the commander who finalized this combat plan and the captain of the flagship must also have Stay aboard this battleship - anyone can abandon the ship, but they will not..."

After Hound finished speaking, he suddenly straightened his back and saluted the accelerating flagship.

After a long period of time, Layton told Ke Lan in a chat: He had never seen an old dog's salute posture so standard in his life.
