CHAPTER XVIII

However, Colonel Lance had no intention of lifting his feet.

Due to its age, the cabinet is as old as the dust accumulated in the factory, and the door of the cabinet makes a continuous "creaking" sound.

Chen Yan craned his neck to look over. Thankfully, the proton reactor inside the safe still appears intact, and that precious time has not been wasted.

Colonel Lance removed the proton reactor and placed it in a special container. The two immediately walked out of the abandoned factory and ran to the aircraft.

However, before he could step out of the factory gate, the sound of heavy footsteps came, and Chen Yan felt that it sounded like a muffled thunder.

At this time, Colonel Lance's communicator heard Meina's voice: "Chief, the giant beast has moved to a distance of a thousand meters. ”

I didn't expect it to move so fast. Chen Yan silently calculated in his heart, there were probably more than ten seconds left for them, and in such a short time, it was impossible for the aircraft to rise to a sufficient altitude from starting.

The strangest thing is that from the discovery that it appeared within a safe distance, to the kilometer range from here now, it is simply a straight to the target. But there is neither water nor food in this factory, so what attracts it to go straight here?

I really want to study what they think in their heads. This idea suddenly popped up and startled Chen Yan. Then he shook his head, no matter how he looked at it, there were no conditions for implementation.

Colonel Lance had already given a series of orders in a short and powerful manner while she was thinking: "Mina and Adolf, immediately go and intercept the giant beast and delay time; Quinn and Iro, leave the mecha behind, wait for Chen Yan to board the aircraft and take off, and stand by in the air at any time; Chen Yan, immediately board the aircraft." ”

Then he closes the call, "Continue." Colonel Lance threw the container containing the proton reactor to Chen Yan, and he himself ran towards the silver mecha.

After hearing Colonel Lance's "follow", she instinctively reached out to catch it, but narrowly escaped it. This container looks quite small, but I didn't expect it to be heavy. And when Colonel Lance carried it, he couldn't see its weight at all.

Now is the time of emergency, and Mina and Adolf control the mecha and single-handedly intercept the behemoth, just to buy time for the aircraft to take off.

So she didn't dare to delay at all, hugged the container in her arms, and ran towards the aircraft with the strength of the Academy of Sciences' physical fitness test.

Over there, Colonel Lance had already entered the mecha, and Chen Yan sighed at the physical fitness of others while lowering her head and running fiercely, she felt that she should have refreshed the previous 100-meter record.

Mina and Adolf have confronted the beast head-on, and the beast's roar can be heard. Colonel Lance's mech was also rushing over. As Chen Yan ran, he felt a feeling of suffocation from lack of oxygen, and suddenly felt a kind of envy: if he could have half of their physical strength, he would not be so delayed.

Finally under the flying machine, Quinn had already stretched out his hand to prepare. Chen Yan handed over the container in his arms and grabbed Quinn's other hand. With a force, the other party lifted her up along with the container that she felt was sinking to death, which made Chen Yan feel that after this run, he had achieved a good weight loss effect.

Ilo had been in the operation room, connected to the flight control system, and when he saw them coming up, he immediately operated the aircraft to take off in formation.

Chen Yan sat in his seat, pressed down the safety device, and then found time to pour his breath non-stop. Quinn grinned and grinned, "I didn't expect you to run quite fast." ”

At his own running speed, he didn't expect to be praised by the special forces, Chen Yan was a little surprised, the overweight feeling when the aircraft took off made her feel even more sleepy, "Whew...... Call...... Do you think I'm running fast?"

"Yes, it's faster than when you first went," Quinn thought for a moment and found another piece of evidence: "I was an instructor during the physical fitness test of your academy. At that time, most of the people took ten seconds for 100 meters", he scratched his hair, "and, I remember, there seems to be a female student, it took nearly fifteen seconds." ”

…… The snoring sound that was going to exhaust the lungs suddenly stopped. Chen Yan thought uncertainly, fifteen seconds, it can't be me...... It seemed like the last one.

But when she reached the finish line, her eyes were blurred and her mind was lost...... Glancing at Quinn, well, I really don't remember what the examiner looked like.

She had to pretend not to know, and smiled a little weakly: "Ah, really?"

Quinn nodded very matter-of-factly. is really an honest person, if Mina said it, she must have guessed the truth.

The flying machine, under Iro's control, quickly arrived at the place where the mecha and the giant beast were fighting.

One red and one silver, the two mecha cooperate tacitly, the silver mecha mainly attacks, the red mecha sees the opportunity to sneak attack, and the giant beast is walked around, the mood is quite irritable, and the thick tail is flapping everywhere.

Chen Yan carefully observed the third-level giant beast, and Quinn was a little surprised, "Aren't you afraid? Many technical soldiers don't dare to look at them. ”

Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at the other party seriously. There was a sincere surprise on his face, without the slightest hint of sarcasm. Chen Yan suddenly understood a little why the special task force had always looked down on the people of the Academy of Sciences.

Behemoths are the biggest threat to humanity, and when these monsters invade the earth and kill humans, it is the special forces who operate mechs and face them head-on. It stands to reason that the people of the Academy of Sciences have developed mechas, which is also worthy of respect, but these current researchers are far from being compared with those who develop mechas.

They didn't even want to know the combat targets of the mecha in person, and they didn't want to know the habits and structures of these disgusting beasts, and they just worked behind closed doors in the dark underground.

Let the special forces who are fighting on the front line operate the previous mecha and fight for their lives against the ever-evolving behemoths.

The potential danger is far greater than imagined. But the special forces still didn't complain, just like Quinn in front of them, and even thought that their evasion was human.

She suddenly felt a little guilty and heavy in her heart, turned her eyes to the ground, and said softly, "What's so scary, don't you fight them every day? ”

Quinn obviously doesn't get this kind of compliment very often, and is embarrassed, "We're here to fight, but ......"

"Wait", Chen Yan's expression became very serious.

She had been observing, and more and more she felt that the giant beast was different from the other third-level giant beasts, and its movements seemed to be a little sluggish. I didn't think it was wrong just now, maybe this one was still underage, or it was injured.

However, the moment the giant beast roared just now, the skin behind its forelimbs curled up strangely. This is definitely not the structure that a Level 3 behemoth should have.

She realized that something didn't seem right. "Iroh, inform them quickly, this is not a third-level beast!

Yelling at Ilo in the cockpit, Chen Yan squinted as he tried to identify the strange structure.

Although Yiluo over there was a little unclear, out of trust in their leader, and even Chen Yan, who believed that he was designated to be brought, he immediately notified him through the public channel that could be opened as soon as possible.

At this point, the beast was once again knocked down. It already had a photon cannon burn on its body, which made it angry and roared in the sky.

The stout forelimbs stretched upward, carrying the unidentified object behind them. Chen Yan's eyes widened instantly, and there seemed to be thin wings like webs that could fly!

It's an evolved behemoth that could most likely fly!

She immediately pounced on the cockpit, "Iroh, increase the flight altitude, this is a flying beast!

Iroh was taken aback this time, and although he didn't understand how the beast could suddenly fly, he immediately increased his flight altitude - but it was too late.

The thunderous beast spread its wings wide open, and leaped up several hundred meters like a giant cicada with the bouncing force of its hind legs.

Its original intention was probably to escape, and it didn't notice the little shrimp in the air. But these small shrimps hovering above are right in the escape route of the giant beast.

Colonel Lance became vigilant when he heard Iro's report, but almost immediately after the report, the behemoth activated his bouncing skills. The silver mech only had time to grab one of its hind legs, and the behemoth jumped up and crashed into the flying machine.

It is very unfortunate that Chen Yan's flying machine is in the middle of the red heart.

The beast's raised front paws slapped the flying machine. The body made of high-strength metal is left with three cracks like cutting tofu.

Before Chen Yan realized what was happening, Quinn next to her yelled and threw her down under him. Only to hear Quinn let out a muffled grunt, and then the craft began to fall like a fallen leaf.

This time, the beast was dragged down solidly, and fell to the ground with a thud. It was really defenseless for this fall, and it was standard with four ups and eight forks. Mina and Adolf seized the opportunity and put a shot at its neck.

So it's useless to mutate new varieties, and there's no suspense about whether they're dead or dead.

Chen Yan's aircraft was hit by a giant beast, and black smoke immediately rose from his tail, and the alarm in the cabin sounded non-stop. Since the altitude of the aircraft is only a few hundred meters above the ground, there is simply not enough time for a forced landing.

Iroh was still trying in vain, trying to save the powertrain. Chen Yan laboriously drilled out from under Quinn's body, and immediately turned whiteβ€”a slanted cut in Quinn's back, from the shoulder blade to the calf, the wound was getting deeper and deeper. Especially the calf, which was cut off almost entirely.

He was trying to protect himself and was injured like this by the claws of the giant beast.

Her eyes blurred instantly, and she bit her lip again, now was not the time to cry. Quinn would have lost a lot of blood if he continued like this.

Chen Yan subconsciously took off his combat uniform in two by three, pressed Quinn's wound with the clean side inside, and tried to reach the first aid kit under the seat.

For a moment, she thought it was terrible. Someone was seriously injured trying to save her, and they were about to fall to their deaths together. Another person probably won't be able to save Quinn, and they're going to be done together anyway.

But she didn't, she had to take out the first-aid kit in the stormy cabin, find the hemostatic spray and gauze and start bandaging. That posture, it seems that even if he is dead, he will have to wrap Quinn's wound and go to heaven.
