Chapter 55 · Experimentation, and Value
Thunder Pulse cannot kill an alien in one hit. It can only weaken the space hunter's mobility to the extreme. The alien five meters away was electrocuted to the point of boiling and carbonizing, and its body was filled with smoke. Even though its life was hanging by a thread, the alien still rushed forward. Its tail and some limb joints had been melted, and it still tried to open its mouth and attack Jiang with its inner teeth. The weapon in Jade's hand.
With a terrible sense of teamwork, it tries to use its life to gain a chance of victory for its companions.
However, after being struck by lightning, its speed no longer had the ability to threaten Jiang Yu.
The Thunder Cloud Armor suddenly moved sideways, and a heavy shoulder collision was accompanied by the sound of the alien's internal and external skeleton shattering. At the moment of the collision, it was still trying to tear Jiang Yu's armor with its sharp claws. But there was no added psychic power, and there were no minions that were monomolecular. In the end, they failed to leave even the slightest trace on the vibranium plating.
It was knocked away more than ten meters.
The moment it hit the ground, another lightning pulse killed it completely.
——[Kill the alien in one piece and get 300 reward points. 】
The main god's report was very timely, reminding Jiang Yu again and again that the alien he faced was only worth 60% of the Infinite Original Code. At the same moment, the last intact alien pushed away the corpse of the same type that hit it.
‘Bah—bah! ’ The off-hand shotgun fired continuously, and the fact that the automatic shotgun could not penetrate the alien shell in the near future verified the rough defense of this thing. Weapons designed specifically to target humans would ultimately be unable to deal with monsters, but the impact effect caused by the shotgun itself ultimately hindered the monster's ability to move.
It was restrained in place, being slammed against the wall again and again, with no time to get up.
Thundercloud Armor, on the other hand, strides forward unhurriedly. When the last high-impact shot knocks it down, the disintegrating glow on the power fist's glove lights up.
One punch.
The world went silent with the sound of the Lord God’s scoring prompt.
But the silence was only short-lived, because the first alien that was hit by a pulse cannon and then fell to the ground to hold the body still needed to go over and perform additional processing.
When Jiang Yu walked over, the guy's suddenly violent tail stabbed the head of Thunder Cloud Armor. However, since he was prepared in advance, it was just a casual wave of the power fist.
It failed. But it's not dead.
Jiang Yu raised his armored giant foot and crushed its limbs. He tore off the tail and punched the structure that was probably its spine. When the guy could only roar, he pulled out its inner teeth and broke its jaw to shut it up.
This time, the world is really quiet.
One of the armor's legs pressed against the crippled alien's body. When Jiang Yu turned around, Zheng Zha, who had ended the battle earlier than him, was looking at him with confusion from the other side of the three-way intersection...or the T-intersection.
At Zheng Zha's feet, an alien was chopped into three pieces. The other one was torn apart by his bare hands. The light green acid blood splashed all over his nanosuit without causing any impact, and was quickly washed away by the red flames that slowly appeared on the surface of the nanosuit.
Xia and Mou Gang didn't fire a single shot. This greeting-style battle is completely in line with the D-level main difficulty level given by the Lord God.
"Some conjectures need to be verified." Jiang Yu said.
Zheng Zha made a gesture of 'whatever you want', and Xia consciously came to the small hall where Jiang Yu was, keeping vigilance in all directions.
"Zhan Lan, are there any aliens near us?" Jiang Yu asked in the communication channel.
And the reply arrived quickly.
"No...it's safe nearby. Let me look elsewhere...hey, the aliens are all leaving. They...seem to be converging in the direction of the warehouse's nest."
"It seems that all the aliens in the spacecraft know that we are coming, and they are not easy to mess with." Jiang Yu nodded, he was not surprised. Pheromones, ultrasound, and aliens have many ways to convey messages. Can't stop it.
But at least, I can now be sure that the surrounding environment is safe.
He stretched out his hand, pushed aside the protective shell of Thunder Cloud Armor and jumped down lightly. The moment he was out of the armor, he felt the wind more clearly.
Wind and vibration.
The spaceship beneath his feet suddenly turned into a huge living thing. The alien group is like an uncoordinated malignant tumor. For a moment, Jiang Yu felt that she could clearly capture the specific location of the queen, every alien, every facehugger, and every egg. And at the next moment, a strange sense of lack expelled him from this state.
The feeling disappeared - but Jiang Yu knew it was not an illusion. He knew that there was a phenomenon in the world where some senses were temporarily closed or suppressed, and when they were released again, the body would gain a compensatory sensory increase. It's just that this phenomenon is particularly obvious in his body at this moment.
This may have something to do with the ultimate infinite qigong he practiced - but now is not the time to consider this issue. He did not lose more than half a second because of this abnormality in perception. And soon, he walked over to the half-dead alien. He stretched out the least important little finger of his left hand and gently touched the bloody wound of the alien with his fingertips.
The feeling of trauma came over me immediately.
It hurt a little, but not unbearably. The fingertips were slightly discolored by the corrosion of acid blood, but it was unable to corrode his skin. And when the B-level electromagnetic energy in the body converges towards the fingertips, even the feeling of pain no longer exists.
Sure enough, even Zheng Zha from the original Alien period could rely on his C-level bloodline to resist acid blood corrosion. Jiang Yu's basic attributes at this moment were more than one level higher than Zheng Zha's at that time. He put away the tools to stop the bleeding and neutralize it, and simply put his whole hand into the wound. Except that the half-dead alien was unhappy about it, there was no leak in his body.
The hands are still hands, white and slender, the result of strengthening and practicing. Pulling out his hand, he changed his posture slightly. Under the acceleration of his true energy, he showed an action speed that was nearly twice as fast as when operating the armor.
A little realization emerged in Jiang Yu's mind - the Thunder Cloud Armor was already a bit behind for him at this stage. Perhaps the armor's defense after modification was still much higher than his original form. But other areas are already less than adequate. It only takes a little deduction to figure out that if Jiang Yu chooses to put the power fist on his hand instead of the armor. Then the time it takes him to kill these four aliens will most likely be halved and then halved again.
New armor and weapons have to be considered - Jiang Yu puts this matter on his agenda. Afterwards, he returned to the armor, picked up the half-dead body of the alien, and told his companions what to do next.
……………………
The fighting lasted no more than fifteen seconds. The time lost after the battle is no more than thirty seconds.
Jiang Yu did not bring the remains of the alien back to the original aircraft - it would be too much of a joke if a drop of acid blood suddenly melted through the aircraft like in the game's CG trailer - he only informed Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan and asked them to put the newcomers They were brought to the small hall that served as the battlefield.
People always cannot shed tears until they see the coffin, and now, the coffin has appeared in front of them. Facing the fragmented alien remains, the alien acid blood still flowing and corroding pits on the metal surface, and the harmful and crippled alien that was still twisting and struggling under the restraints of the unactivated power fists, even if it started again A tough person must admit that he is in a nightmare.
The gangsters who were supposed to be the most eccentric and rude now wanted to shrink into a ball. The male and female white-collar workers were pale and trembling. The gold-collared man with the briefcase let out a frantic scream and strode away into the darkness.
No one paid attention to him - Jiang Yu said on the communication channel not to act rashly. Anyway, there are already forty or fifty aliens, and one more of him is not much.
So, big steps turned into small steps, and small steps turned into moves. On the eve of breaking into a strange dark passage, he realized that he was not taken seriously at all, and there was no Holy Mother heart among these "future warriors" who could take advantage of the opportunity to make conditions or grab a breakthrough. Finally stopped.
Then, he laughed, shrank his neck, and pretended that nothing happened, and returned to the ranks of the newcomers.
He failed, but it was still a successful trial. The seniors did not break his legs when he tried to leave the team without authorization but allowed him to go back. This proved that the team's course of action was generally good.
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses - his evaluation of the seniors had obviously been updated. Before Jiang Yu spoke, he also guessed the reason why Jiang Yu asked the newcomers to come out.
The seniors have already proven their strength. The aliens on this ship are not very powerful for the fully armed seniors. Staying with senior people has the highest probability of survival, but it will be a drag on the senior people. The life and death of most newcomers actually don't mean much to the seniors. What is meaningful is the valuable newcomers.
So, what is the value of new people?
"It's larger than the original size." Chu Xuan walked towards the most complete alien corpse. He reached out his hand without fear and touched the armor surface that was not covered with acid blood. "In the movie, the upright height of a warrior alien is no more than two meters. This is the best size for them to hunt prey such as humans in this environment. But here, the upright height of the alien is close to two meters. Miba.”
Two meters and eight meters, this is the size of Alien One in the Infinity Classic. Much more powerful than those in the movie.
"The type has not changed, and the main prey has not changed. The size has increased. This shows that our previous advance team used the super-era firepower to teach them a lesson. And this resulted in them having to reproduce new generations. Produce corresponding mutations to enhance resistance to kinetic and energy strikes."
He was right, a warrior alien under normal circumstances should not be able to withstand a lightning pulse strike. Because the Lord God provides various monster corpses for exchange, and Jiang Yu has exchanged them before and practiced target shooting. The result of the test at that time was that one shot of the charged cannon was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and could be eaten on the spot.
—It even tastes okay.
"...And this means that such alienation may not be an inherent characteristic of the alien space hunter. It may have some kind of hidden flaw as a price for its enhanced body shape and defense." Chu Xuan pointed out He nodded and extended his hand to the seniors. "Can you give me a dagger? It doesn't need to be a strong one."
A combat dagger was quickly placed in his hand. The titanium alloy was originally treated with a single molecular blade, but it had been blunted in previous battles so that it was no longer very sharp.
The next moment, the dagger easily penetrated somewhere on the alien's chest and abdomen carapace. Penetrating this body that was supposed to be invulnerable.
"For example...here."
