Chapter 68 ·Ancient Aberration
There is more than one, there are many of them. They have various distorted appearances with different specifications. There is no doubt that they are either the results of synthetic David's research or the results of failed research. And without exception, they are all stronger than what is shown in the movie, much stronger.
Several synthetic soldiers further forward were crushed into pieces in an instant, and their mutilated limbs were still pulling the triggers on the ancient aliens who were driven out of the shadows. However, this future generation of small-caliber smart firearms cannot have the destructive power it deserves. Although it looks like an ordinary silicon shell, it cannot be easily penetrated and broken!
——Position effect.
Zheng Zha roared angrily and rushed into the ranks of the ancient aliens like a strong wind. Swinging the giant ax with both hands, it was like a strong storm suddenly blowing between the cliffs. In an instant, the two ancient aliens had their claws cut off and their shells broken, but that was all, they did not die immediately!
"It feels like a blockage! I cut them like a ball of cotton!" he yelled on the public channel. The next moment, a blood-sucking ball was projected by him. It collided with an ancient alien that wanted to sneak attack from the side and rear, and everyone saw that the blood-red energy was like a scorched coal ball falling on the snow, and the friction on the ancient alien's body cut off an instant. , then exploded suddenly, turning into a ball of blazing, but one size smaller than the previous scarlet flames.
Psychic energy, telekinesis, biofield - no matter what it is, these ancient aliens obviously have some kind of invisible protective layer on their bodies. This increases the strength of their silicon shells. Even the laser cannon held by Mou Gang cannot kill them in an instant!
"Use saturated firepower to thin the shield!" Chu Xuan shouted loudly, and this was not just for the synthesizers. The next moment, the synthesizers, Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan and Xia all set up howitzers or threw grenades, and immediately after, super-era fragmentation explosions broke out unscrupulously in the array of ancient aliens, achieving victory. The sign is that the luster of their carapace has dimmed a bit visibly to the naked eye.
‘Buzz——’
The light surge burst out again, and this time, the laser cannon tore through the two ancient aliens like two fragile pieces of paper. Chu Xuan undoubtedly made the correct judgment. No matter what type of shield it was, since it did not and could not have a powerful enough built-in energy source, it should have a fixed limit. It should be triggered in a stressful way, and when attacks come from all directions, a single direct hit hidden in it can more easily achieve results.
This was his purpose, and the ancient aliens immediately understood its purpose. A slightly smaller alien protruded silently from the shadows behind him, its sharp claws might be able to tear his skull apart in a moment.
The air stagnated silently.
With telekinesis, Zhang Jie stretched out his hand behind Chu Xuan - the ancient alien was frozen for a brief moment. The next moment, a bright blue electromagnetic gun fire bombarded it, directly vaporizing its entire head, leaving a scorching arc on its upper body!
Electromagnetic gun - A single shot of an electromagnetic gun may indeed be more powerful than a laser, but it shouldn't be so effective. Because Mou Gang's laser cannon can fire many rounds in one second, it can't just touch the armor-breaking line.
"It's telekinesis. Telekinesis is particularly effective against the shields that suppress them!"
With a prompt, Jiang Yu shared his findings. And Zhan Lan did not hesitate to abandon the grenade launcher on hand. Aiming at the direction where the most ancient aliens are, and where Zheng Zha is, is an all-out telekinetic impact!
It's not strong, at best it's just a strong wind of about level 7. It was completely inferior to the bombing effect of grenades and grenades. However, when it hit these aliens head-on, the invisible protective force field in the monsters' bodies simultaneously made the most intense impact on the telepathy coming from all directions. reaction. Intangible things almost become tangible at this moment. A thin film can be seen clearly on the carapace of the aliens after turning on the gene lock!
Once the flaw is exposed, it becomes a fatal weakness. Once the shield is thinned, it cannot effectively defend points and lines. Several injured ancient aliens were killed by Zheng Zha in an instant. Just as the remaining ones were about to retreat, they were bombarded by laser cannons and lightning pulses.
There was an explosion.
The ancient aliens who tried to ambush the Samsaras left ten corpses behind. The remaining few fled towards deeper darkness.
The reincarnators did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
"Weaker than expected, be careful. The bigger ones are either behind, or this is a trap to lure us over." Jiang Yu continued to move toward the front in the Thunder Cloud Armor. He deliberately stepped over the remains of several ancient aliens. After losing all traces of life, it would be easier for the steel giant feet to crush them than to step on those on the spaceship.
He noticed the surrounding underground and found that there was no large collection of abnormal black secretions. The ingredients of ‘Engineer Abandoned Ship’ here are much higher than the ingredients of ‘Alien Lair’. And this has some conflicts with the Infinite Original Alien Four that he knows.
Coupled with the protective abilities these ancient aliens have acquired inexplicably...
"Some kind of radiation." Jiang Yu said softly, with reference answers as support. He is naturally able to come to conclusions more quickly. "Zhan Lan, try scanning the scope of the black domain again."
"Okay..." Zhan Lan closed his eyes and then opened them quickly, with a hint of surprise in his tone. "It's gone! The scope of the black area has been reduced. I couldn't see this section of the road originally, but I can see it now!"
"What about the control area and the incubation area?"
"Well... no, it still can't be done there." Zhan Lan quickly gave a new answer.
"Is it unclear or invisible?" Chu Xuan walked to the knocked down wreckage and suddenly asked Zhan Lan.
"It's invisible."
"It's not interference, but shielding." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "Interesting... These aliens seem to be more powerful, but their body structures have many flaws and irrationalities. Rather than being advanced aliens, they are more like prototype experimental subjects in the biochemical laboratory. But what we have to deal with is It’s the ‘front branch’ again.”
He stood up and quickly stated his deduction on the channel: "There must be a prequel to Alien. Maybe it is a logical 'prequel', or maybe it is a new work that the director has not announced yet. And the story of this prequel should be Telling the origin of the aliens - this hulk should be the place where the story takes place, or even the housing area of the laboratory. That's why there are so many deformed varieties here... However, this does not conform to the logic of the subsequent plot. Because there is no The more powerful prototype was abandoned, and the black alien with insufficient power became the orthodox truth."
"They must have some kind of flaw... some kind of loophole. This is why their creators abandoned them, or at least the reason why they did not retain the protective force field on the finished product. But I have deduced it many times and can't find it. The reason for giving up the ability of individual soldiers to mount biological shields that does not exist in the current world view. So... we can only change our thinking."
He looked at the other seniors.
"Two possibilities. First, the 'Lord God' involuntarily made it more difficult for us. Forcibly giving these losers new and powerful abilities. Second, something abnormal happened, perhaps an unfinished experiment. It may be that some special catalyst worked. The Ripley rescue ship falling from the sky should be a huge inducement. And I speculate that it was because of this that they were awakened and gained new postures and powers. "
"If it is one, then naturally there is nothing to say. But if it is two...whether it is a weird instrument, a mysterious mineral, or even an alien relic. In the next battle, if we can discover it in time, and make it work. Then if the scenario goes against us, it's possible to turn it around."
——It’s black water.
When Chu Xuan mentioned the second possibility, the corresponding answer emerged in Jiang Yu's heart. Because black water is a new thing that only appeared in Prometheus. It can take genetic material apart and then reconstruct it. But under normal circumstances, touching or drinking it will only bring quick and painful destruction to the user. But if... there is a chance or two, as a derivative of black water, the alien may not be able to undergo a second mutation after coming into contact with black water.
Chu Xuan's inference is most likely correct, because as long as the settings of Prometheus are followed, then there must still be black water left by the synthetic David in this ruined ship. And the impact of the rescue ship that penetrated the hull of the ship might really be the biggest inducement for the remaining black water to leak out and take effect!
The Butterfly Effect. As a coincidence, this is too bad a joke.
But what if this information is known? The use of black water is not as convenient as the big red button. Unless the entire can of black water is poured directly into the alien's body, it will not be able to exert its effectiveness at all - but if that can really be done, wouldn't it be much better to shoot directly into the alien's mouth! ?
"It is indeed possible." Jiang Yu nodded. "However...since it is a brand new variety with a second mutation, is it possible that the internal structure is unstable and difficult to fight for a long time?"
"I haven't done any similar experiments. But, I'm a little curious." Chu Xuan's new armor has a temporary spray-on acid-proof layer. And he used a blade made of the same material to cut open the two mutated and alien bodies without difficulty. All the places with dense blood vessels or protected by bone plates were quickly stripped out by him, and no strange and unique organs were found in these key locations.
"As carbon-silicon life forms that abide by the rules of physics. Where do these deformed deformations... come from so much energy to provide them with the shield ability that is enough to temporarily prevent laser cannon bombardment?"
