Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 496 The thing at the bottom of the pit (4000 words long chapter)

The green light pillar rising from the bottom of the giant pit gradually became solid, as if it was not an illusory light and shadow, but a green solid emerald.

"Is this... is this... activated?" Leighton murmured. He suddenly felt that the scene of those giant crystal pillars slowly sinking to the bottom of the pit was very similar to the scene when nuclear fuel rods were inserted into the reactor.

"Probably." The hound raised his head and looked at the light beams that reached the dome. "Damn... my eyes are still not very good. What I can see is a big green patch, and the edges between the light beams are completely blurred. Already..."

"It's not a problem with your eyes." Ivan said, "This is what we saw...those light pillars merged together."

Layton glanced down, and then immediately shouted: "Everyone, please put on your helmets and protective equipment! The radiation intensity in this space is rising rapidly!"

After what he said, everyone whose attention was completely attracted by the green beam of light realized the problem - part of their skin exposed to the air felt waves of needle-like stinging, and the stinging was still there. Continuously enhance.

The Geiger counter also started chirping crazily.

The hounds and others hurriedly put on their helmets and gloves, and then fastened the sealing rings. Only then did they have time to glance at the screen of the Geiger counter, which made a series of "clicking" sounds.

In just a few seconds, the radiation intensity in the power chamber has risen from the safe value to more than 40 times the dangerous indicator. It only takes a few tens of seconds to stay in this environment, and the radiation is enough to cause irreversible damage to human genes; If you stay for five minutes, even if you can get treatment in time, there will be permanent sequelae; if you stay for one hour... you can just think about the funeral.

Moreover, the body must be disposed of in a special incinerator, and the ashes must be placed in heavy lead boxes.

"This thing is really fucking deadly." Hound complained, while injecting himself an anti-radianin and an anti-radianin through the injection hole on the power armor.

The Kangradiin and Xiaoradiin they carried were both of the highest quality. As soon as the medicine entered the blood, a feeling of nausea came over - this was one of the most obvious side effects of Kangradiin. As for Xiaoradiin, it was equivalent to A super diuretic.

The irradiated urine was quickly excreted from the body. Everyone removed the urine storage tank hanging from the waist and disconnected it from the connecting pipe of the water circulation system.

In order to ensure that there is no shortage of drinking water, all the sweat and urine excreted by the human body will be collected and sent to the circulation purification device for a series of processing processes such as filtration and distillation... However, the urine excreted from the body through Xiaofu Ning is absolutely What cannot be recycled must be discarded.

The radiation intensity in the environment finally stabilized after rising to 485 times the danger indicator. At this time, the Geiger counters on everyone's bodies no longer made any sound.

There are only two reasons why the Geiger counter is silent. One is that the radiation is too low, and the other is that the radiation is so high that it has exceeded the detection threshold...

The working principle of the Geiger counter is to rely on the high-speed particles released by radiation to cause an ionization reaction in the gas sealed in the counter, discharge and output a pulse current signal. However, when the radiation is too strong, the entire circuit will simply short-circuit directly - at this time , the non-professional Geiger counter screen display will return to zero, and some high-end counters equipped with additional alarm chips will display the words "The radiation in the environment has exceeded the measurement limit and is extremely dangerous."

"Huh... Fortunately, I didn't take off all the equipment on my body, otherwise it would have been too late..." The hound just breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body tensed up again, "No! That guy Ke Lan! He hasn't been there yet..." ——”

Everyone quickly turned to look at the console on one side and saw that Ke Lan, who had put his hands on the metal ball, had not moved since the beginning. The dazzling white light emitted from the metal ball climbed up along his hands... At this moment, his entire surface was covered with a thin layer of halo.

"His hands are exposed! He will get radiation sickness!" Leighton shouted to him, "Ke Lan! Can you hear our voices? Let go! Put on protective gear!"

However, Ke Lan completely turned a deaf ear to the shouts of his companions. He was staring at the metal ball in front of him with all his attention, and his facial muscles were constantly twitching slightly.

He could naturally hear Layton calling him, but he couldn't respond at all - the moment his hands came into contact with the metal ball, the ancient battleship seemed to be connected to him!

To be precise, he became part of the battleship... and became one of the parts that make up the battleship!

A huge flow of information poured into his mind like a flood, and the strong impact caused Ke Lan's consciousness to jump repeatedly on the edge of collapse. This situation was very similar to what happened after he touched the stone tablet, but that was just It took just a moment, but now, his hands seemed to be stuck to the metal ball, and he couldn't let go.

Layton and Hound were obviously standing not far away from him, but their shouts sounded like they were far away in the horizon.

No, it's not that his hand is stuck to the metal ball, but that his body has lost control... Ke Lan wants to use his brain to send the "raise" command to his arm, but this command has not yet been sent along the nerves When I went out, I was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information pouring in from the outside world.

Under this situation, it became extremely difficult for Ke Lan to even think. He felt like his consciousness was like an apple thrown into a wall-breaking machine. It was being crushed by the sharp blade amid high-speed rotation and violent collision. Torn to pieces.

Moreover, an indescribable feeling of fatigue was coming - Ke Lan realized that this console was frantically consuming his mental power. Although the consumption rate was slightly slower than that of "Time Stop", at most If it drags on for another minute or two, his mental energy will be completely exhausted.

What's worse is that he has no way to stop this consumption. He can't even activate Time Stop...

"This...couldn't...be...a trap...set by...the heretical sect...right?"

"The situation is not right, Ke Lan... he seems to be trapped." At this time, even Layton realized the problem, "Sh-should we pull him away? But I'm worried..."

"We don't have time to think so much. If we don't pull him away, he might lose his life!" Hound walked up to Ke Lan. "The expression on his face looked very painful - Hey! Ke Lan! Can you listen?" Do you hear my voice? We're going to use violence to pull you away from this damn thing! If you agree, just blink. If you don't want us to do it, just blink twice. Can you hear me clearly? "

The hound shouted loudly at Ke Lan, while signaling Layton to get ready.

Ke Lan's face began to twist, the veins on his forehead bulged, his chin trembled involuntarily, and saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth... If it weren't for the halo covering his body, the hound would have almost thought he was having an epileptic seizure...

At this time, Ke Lan's eyes suddenly moved, and the focus of his vision moved from the metal ball to the hound with difficulty, and then he blinked.

"Pull!" the hound yelled.

Leighton took a big step forward and reached out to grab Ke Lan's arm - but just when he came into contact with Ke Lan's body, he suddenly let out a scream and his whole body suddenly jumped back. He fell heavily to the ground.

"What's going on?! Big guy! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Old dog, please don't touch Ke Lan! He seems to have high-voltage electricity on his body. I just felt like I was being shocked..." Leiton got up from the ground with some difficulty and looked at himself and The palm of the robotic arm that Ke Lan had come into contact with was scorched black, and there were even slight signs of melting in the palm and finger joints.

"Electric shock? How is that possible? Doesn't the power armor have an insulating layer?" the hound said in astonishment.

"It's not an ordinary electric shock. Look at my hand." Layton opened the palm of the robotic arm and showed it to everyone, "His current state...how to say, it's like a piece of energy storing or releasing energy. The energy intensity of the high-level energy crystals in the energy state, and the halo on his body, is initially estimated to be no less than the maximum output power of the ninth-level crystals."

"What are you talking about?" The hound looked at Layton's damaged palm, and then at Ke Lan standing in the halo, "You mean he is now a humanoid energy crystal? But how can the human body withstand that? Such an intensity of energy? The maximum output power of a ninth-level crystal...I'm afraid he has been wiped out long ago, right?"

"I don't know, but..." Before Layton could finish his words, Aya interrupted him: "Let me do it."

"Don't be impulsive! I'm a reformer. If I were an ordinary person, I might not be able to endure what I just did." Layton quickly advised.

"I'm not as weak as you think." Aya glanced at him, put a shield generator on her wrist, then opened the energy shield and walked towards Ke Lan.

"Don't! Don't open the shield to fight head-on, otherwise you will--"

However, Leiton's words were still a step too late. When the energy shield in Aya's hand collided with the halo on Ke Lan's body, the shield generator exploded with a bang, and she was also struck by it. This huge impact pushed him backwards, and even flew farther than Layton...

As for Ke Lan, he still stood there with a completely different look.

"I told you not to open the shield... energy bodies of different origins will most likely explode when they collide with each other. Are you too reckless?" Layton sighed.

"Are you alive? How are you injured?" Hound, who had always been at odds with the Security Bureau agents, asked for the first time.

"...It seems like two ribs are broken...hiss...the tibia is also broken..." Aya's rapid breathing came from the team communication channel, accompanied by several moans that were suppressed in the throat. It seemed that The injury was serious.

"Doctor, go check on her." The hound looked at Ivan.

"Yes." Ivan nodded and walked towards Aya who was dozens of meters away, "Lie on the ground and don't move, in case the broken bones hurt the internal organs... In this situation, there is no way to take off the power armor. Come down, I can only help you with it briefly, which may have some impact on your ability to move."

"I know." Aya gritted her teeth, took out a painkiller needle from her pocket, and inserted it.

On the other side, Zhuo Ligetu, Layton and Hound were so anxious that they stamped their feet around Ke Lan. They wanted to save Ke Lan, but they couldn't think of an effective way for a while.

"Can you push him away?" Hound said suddenly, "I mean, use weapons... Layton, do you have something that can't penetrate powered armor, but is very powerful? Try it and see if you can push him away." Ke Lan pushed away from this thing. I know this may hurt him, but it is better than losing his life."

"It's useless." Layton shook his head, "The impact of the shield generator explosion just now was enough to push even Valkyrie, but do you think Ke Lan has moved even a little bit?"

"What should we do? How about we smash this console? This layer of light curtain is only found on the metal ball and Ke Lan's body, but not on this stone pillar. Maybe it can be done!" Hound said again, at this time He already felt a little sick and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

"The hardness of this stone pillar is comparable to Nino alloy. If it is solid, if you want to smash such a thick piece of Nino alloy... with our equipment, we can't do it."

"Then what else can we do? Damn, I'm so anxious!" Hound said, kicking the stone pillar violently - although he was not bounced away like Layton and Aya, the stone pillar was also intact. move.

But the next second after he finished kicking, the glowing metal ball suddenly went out, and Ke Lan's body fell limply to the ground.

Before Layton could reach out his hand, Akira Asano had already appeared behind Ke Lan and caught his body.

"What the hell? Is this okay?" The hound glanced at the extinguished metal ball and then at the instep of his own feet, "Damn, I'm so awesome."

"This probably has nothing to do with you..." Layton wanted to complain about the hound, but now it was obviously more important to check on Ke Lan's condition.

"Qianye, how is Ke Lan? Is he... not dead?"

"Not dead." Asano Akira shook his head and helped Ke Lan stand up, "But his mental power is very weak... so weak that I can't even feel his consciousness..."

"Mental power? Are you talking about the kind of power that needs to be consumed to activate those special abilities of you and Marshall? I remember..." Hound glanced at Aya and several other agents in the distance, and switched the communication channel to One-on-one mode, "I remember Ke Lan said that he also needs to consume this mental power to activate his abilities."

"Well...his body is fine, but his mental strength is exhausted." Asano Akira replied.

Before he finished speaking, Ke Lan's eyes suddenly opened. A flash of white fluorescence flashed in his eyes. He grabbed Asano Akira's wrist and said anxiously: "Quick! Get ready to fight! I I just saw... the things at the bottom of the pit! They were just trapped before, so they didn't climb up... But now, the thing that trapped them has disappeared! "
