"I landed …"
Kelan said consciously, but he didn’t react until he finished. The head wearing Tonghua device has long been shattered, leaving a circle of metal skeleton and symbolically hanging his neck.
"Well, I didn’t expect them to help anyway …"
Chapter five hundred and seventy-one Single dive
Koran is almost silently touched the edge of the ravine probe to look.
He didn’t see the crowded picture in his imagination-the bottom of the ravine was very open, and there were no traces of human activities. On the contrary, there were many caves on both sides of the rock wall that were carved by people at first sight.
These exiles set up the settlement on the rock wall instead of the bottom of the ravine, which makes it more concealed. From a medium point of view, it is difficult to find anomalies with naked eyes or radar scanning, and it is possible to find these inhabited caves unless people can go deep into the ravine to explore.
In the wilderness, however, there are few gullies like this. It would be a very heavy burden if every one of them was inspected by a man-machine-compared with all kinds of threats from Alpha, these rats hiding in the gutter are not so satisfactory.
As a matter of fact, these exiles didn’t take the initiative to attack the Ark transit and transport convoys, and they didn’t have any connection with heretical sects. Whether the security bureau or the military turned a blind eye to them-but in recent years, with more and more exiles’ settlements or "voluntary" or "forced" to join heretical sects, the frequency of clearing the exiles’ settlements suddenly increased.
Last year, the security bureau and the military jointly cleared a total of 71 exile settlements, but there was none like this one.
Not only because it is difficult to find, but also because the construction of such settlements is too difficult for exiles who lack tools and resources. Most exiles can avoid the attack of indigenous creatures through continuous migration and the ark can clear the roots, but they are unable to build such permanent strongholds.
Except heretical sects
Kelan knew that there were a lot of heretical sects buried in the Ark Department, especially in the stratum, and it was not difficult for heretical sects to complete such a project-of course, it also said from another angle that this stronghold definitely belongs to the sphere of influence of heretical sects rather than an independent exile settlement.
Ke Lan noticed that there was a disguised A-A1 biped mecha named "Walker" lying at the bottom of the ravine. Even the latest version of "A-5" was now a veritable antique. This biped fighter retired from the army ten years ago. Not only did the manufacturer of this series of mecha announce the suspension of production, but even those third-party manufacturers who were awarded the award no longer produced accessories.
Most of the "walker" mecha were dismantled and recycled, and a few of the dismantled weapons and armor were sold to some civilian organizations at a very low price to serve as transportation or engineering machinery.
When Kelan saw that this A-A1 "walker" weapon armor had not been dismantled and installed, the 25mm caliber machine guns on both sides of the head could easily tear off most types of power armor provided to soldiers by the field forces, while hanging a heavy flamethrower at the bottom of the mecha could create a fan-shaped flame area with a radius of 150m and an angle of about 120 degrees in front of the mecha-without heavy firepower to support the marines to rush into this ravine, a large number of casualties would inevitably occur.
The paint on the surface of this "walker" mecha has almost completely fallen off. Instead, a large amount of khaki mud is applied to the armor surface. After the mud attached to the mecha body dries and hardens, it forms a perfect camouflage. Looking from the square, this "walker" mecha squatting there is like a square stone.
The only flaw is probably that the corners of this "stone" are not round enough. This kind of crevice is slightly abrupt, but if you don’t look closely, you won’t find this flaw.
……
The driver of this A-A1 "Pedestrian" is a middle-aged man in his early thirties. At this moment, he is leaning his head and squinting at the slender observation window on the operating platform. The model A-A1 of the "Pedestrian" train fighter is not equipped with a monitor connected to the camera outside the car, but adopts a visual observation window similar to that of an old tank. A periscope capable of rotating 360 degrees is installed at the top of the body for the pilot to observe the situation on both sides and rear of the body.
The simple reason for this design is that some strong radiation areas of the equipment in the early days of the ark landing on Alpha Star are very prone to failure, and the equipment design ideas in that era tend to return to the original and retro style. This A-A1 "walker" was born in such a big environment.
However, this is not a disadvantage for heretical pilots. In the case of lack of maintenance and replacement parts, the purely mechanical observation window is indeed better than the precision monitoring equipment. For this A-A1, if weapons and power systems can still be transported, its combat effectiveness will not be greatly affected.
"No one should be able to find it here …" The A-A1 driver said to himself while turning the periscope lens slightly.
If he is at leisure, he is very idle-thanks to the fact that the cockpit of biped mecha is much more spacious than that of humanoid mecha, he can even put his seat flat on the back of the chair and read magazines brought back by some companions from outside. Unlike most men, he prefers to read some mechanical science magazines, which is why he became the driver and maintenance staff of this A-A1.
He was born in the wilderness. He didn’t spend a day with Noah’s Ark in his life, and all his knowledge with the mecha came from self-study and dismantling the garbage collected from the battlefield. He always thought that if he could be born with the Ark, he would become a top mechanic. Although he longed for the Ark, he didn’t like it at all, and he hated the colonial spaceship that brought mankind to this planet.
According to his age, he is almost a descendant of the first human exiles on Alpha Star. His memory of his parents is almost pitiful … His mother also died when he was very young, but he doesn’t know who his father was.
Someone once told him that his mother was the Ark, a famous scientist who had to leave the Ark because of "academic persecution" … But what does this have to do with him? It is extremely difficult for a child who has lost his parents to be a teenager. Those who live in the Ark can’t imagine a child who is less than ten years old living in a cruel wilderness.
And this memory, which made him unwilling to recall, became the source of his hatred-he hated all people and things from that ship except weapons.
Because weapons can be used to kill people and kill those who come from that ship.
So when he learned about the heresy, he joined the "Prophet" without hesitation.
He doesn’t believe in a "great god", but the powerful and mysterious power of the prophet is obvious to all believers … He needs a strong enough leader to lead them to destroy the ship and drive the boatman out of their comfortable room so that they can feel what they have experienced.
Just a few hours ago, the prophet came to this secret stronghold with a beautiful woman in a coma, which made him suddenly refreshed. His prophet was about to plan a large-scale war operation-he always regretted that he could not participate in the melting fire mine operation, but the prophet threw him a word and disappeared into the depths of the cave with the woman.
"Be on your guard. Someone may follow you here."
Although he was disappointed, he didn’t dare to slack off. For hours, he didn’t even dare to take a big breath. He kept staring at the one-inch observation window in front of him for fear of missing anything.
At this moment, something seemed to drop from the top of the cockpit and hit him on the head.
"Huh?" This sudden movement made his shoulders jump suddenly, and his forehead and eyebrows knocked lightly on the periscope frame-"Ouch!"
"PSST … what is it? Is it that Zhou Gang repaired the cooling pipe and leaked? " As soon as the words were exported, he froze-he knew how familiar he was with this machine. Of course, he knew that there was no cooling pipe at the top of the cockpit, and even if the coolant really leaked, it wouldn’t drip from here.
"Strange … what could it be?" He reached out a hand and groped at the top of the cockpit, and soon he touched some viscous liquid.
"Is it engine oil? Seeping from the riveting seam … is it wrong? "
Not only that, but vaguely, he seems to smell a bloody smell …
He couldn’t help but feel a strong uneasiness, raise his hand and hit the cockpit light to lift the two fingers stained with "immaterial" to his eyes-
Fingertip contamination is a kind of deep red liquid, thick and sticky … He is not sure if he is wrong or if he is hallucinating things, and his fingertips seem to be crawling with this drop of liquid.
"This is … blood? New blood? Is it cold? "
Before he could react, more liquid seeped out from the gap in the cockpit roof and dripped on his head and shoulders.
"What’s the matter? What is this thing? ！”
He consciously wanted to sound the alarm, but his hand reaching for the console was forever frozen in the middle-a sharp claw made of blood had penetrated his chest since then, and the sharp claws directly penetrated from his throat.
The hot blood spraying console was put aside, and the issue number was "Mecha Mechanical Structure" in June, 929.
Bloody claws quickly returned to flowing liquid state and infiltrated back along the gap of armor plate.
These blood parts were sucked back by a pale palm, and in an instant the palm was covered with a layer of armor with the same texture as the bloody claws.
Crouching at the top of the mecha Koran jumped and gently landed, and glanced at his right hand in surprise. He came to try a mental idea that the active armor could really be separated from his body and then re-condensed and successfully assassinated the target hiding in the mecha.
And a weapon, Kelan always feels that this thing is like a monster parasitic on his own body-perhaps the "unknown" vice in Pan’s mouth is that this thing will awaken its self-awareness one day and then compete with itself for body control … or simply break through the body like a mature "erosion species"?
From the moment when the fusion was successful, Kelan did not regard the or-shaped armor as his own strength-he completely regarded this living armor as a hidden danger, a time bomb that buried himself.
But at that time, he had to "wear" this living armor … including Kelan himself and the lives of most people in the Ark to coerce the crew. This is simply naked conspiracy Kelan don’t choose.
If he has the chance, he must try to separate this thing from the body. He doesn’t want to be like those "devices"
Since the undead crew members will bluntly say that they can’t take the living armor out of their bodies, Koran can hope to find some clues in the remains of Alpha … Maybe the lizard that has been at the bottom of the sinkhole for tens of thousands of years can help himself?
Of course, the former is Koran, and we must find it first … This difficulty may be even more difficult than exploring a complete S-class relic-who knows whether the big lizard still stays on this planet.
