Chapter 8: The Remnants of the Ancestors
Kojo had already arrived at the abandoned research institute, and the Japanese Koko had sent several teams and motorized infantry to it, but nothing managed to return.
He is now using the 'Kraken 01' mobile armor, which is a format change of the prototype, and the skeleton is essentially unchanged. It's just that the original large sniper rifle has been changed to an armor-piercing alloy sword for melee combat, and the long-range weapon only leaves two pistols fixed at the shoulder, and the jet thruster on the whole body has been transformed, with four jet ports concentrated at the waist and two thrusters on the back.
"Emergency start.
The identity of the inspector is correct.
Allows the system to be started – Alph02 system"
This is an emergency measure, of course, there is no need for Kecheng to do this, he can wait, but at this time he can't wait.
"Kraken 01, be the first to break in." Cocheng was still very calm, sending information to Leon.
"Chu Xiao, you are following behind, you are 15 meters apart." Leon began to command, and then urgently planned the next steps of action.
The Kraken 01 is highly athletic and can travel at speeds of up to 40 km/h without thrusters.
He had already arrived inside the institute, and various facilities had been damaged along the way, but fortunately the lighting system was still intact, as these had been installed by the ZEEK search team for the time being.
"At the beginning of the dawn, tactical blasting, bombarding the hatch in front of the city."
"Yes, the data is sent to the main task performer." Lin Chuxiao held a large sniper rifle and aimed at the rear and said to the communication.
Kecheng had already turned off the communication, and he didn't care about any of this, activating the thrusters of 'Kraken 01' to move at high speed.
No one has cleaned up this abandoned research institute for more than 30 years, and the people in Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone have done nothing to do with the abandoned island, just to use it as a garbage repository.
Kraken 01 had quickly broken into the unexplored zone, and according to the life detector, it was only a few dozen meters away from the target, but Kecheng was walking quite fast.
It seems that I can't wait to meet that kind of monster. Monsters are actually the mutations that occur after the SeedLife virus, a biological weapon of the old era, infects humans or animals, and they will go semi-permanently dormant so they can survive for a considerable period of time, and once the concentration of carbon dioxide rises to a threshold that they can feel, they will wake up quickly.
The city has come to the second level of the interior, it is dark inside, and the Kraken 01 armor is equipped with a lighting device, which can illuminate objects up to 50 meters in front of it.
"Kecheng, you are only less than 50 meters away from the target, if nothing goes wrong, you will be in the next large cabin, we can't be sure how big he is, but according to the data transmitted by the thermal induction detection drone that can reach the innermost, that guy may be 10 meters long." Leon said eagerly as he tapped on the electronic board in his hand. At this time, he was still transmitting data to Kecheng, and he also had to analyze the situation inside to give instructions.
Kecheng walked to the door of the large cabin, only to find that the hatch was locked because of the power outage.
"Kecheng, stay away, I'll open this door."
"No, it will disturb the guys inside." Kecheng immediately objected to Lin Chuxiao's judgment.
However, Kecheng has already thought of a way.
Kraken 01's waist thruster was aimed at the vent device in front of it, and the hot flames quickly melted a large chunk of the hatch.
Three minutes later, the alloy hatch was finally welded open. It was dark inside, and there was no light source at all, but there was a "squeak" sound.
Kecheng didn't have to guess to know that it was the sound of rats, he wasn't sure whether these rats had entered from the outside or had been alive inside, so in order to confirm the situation, he turned on the high beams on the head of Kraken 01, and with the light emitter fixed on the elbow, it illuminated the front.
In front of Kecheng's eyes, there was a corpse, a very shabby researcher's overalls, and some parasites crawling around on the bones, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was a large puddle thirty meters ahead, but the water was already stinking.
"Kecheng, watch out for the puddle." Leon gives instructions based on the footage of Kraken 01 teleporting to the drone and going to his electronic board.
"Why don't you throw a *or high-explosive* thing in and kill this thing, and you want me to kill this thing?" Kecheng took off the large alloy blade on his back and complained to the communication.
This large alloy sword is 1.6 meters long, so it doesn't work well for white-knuckle combat, but if the opponent is not a motorized infantry, it can be used to the extreme!
"Switch to assault mode and remove the power limit." Kecheng gave the order, and the Alph02 system quickly responded.
Kraken 01's thrusters were fully opened, causing the entire fuselage to fly half a meter into the air and rush over. Before Kraken 01 approached, there was no movement in the water, but at this time, suddenly a behemoth rushed out of the water.
Cocheng seemed to have known that the behemoth would attack by leaping out of the water, and then let the Siren 01's waist jet go down to allow him to fly higher and avoid the behemoth's direct attack.
This behemoth is a saltwater crocodile infected by the seedlife virus, originally used for breeding and research, but now it has become unrecognizable, evolving a very hard epidermis, and at the same time the teeth have become sharper, the forelimbs have become thicker, and the most unique place is that the throat of its large mouth has a fanged mouth, which means that the outer teeth are used for chewing, and it is the inner mouth that really bites and swallows.
Kecheng stabbed the alloy sword into the back of the mutated crocodile, and although it successfully pierced its skin, the blade only sank into it less than 10 centimeters, and it was so tightly sucked that Kecheng couldn't take it out at all.
Kraken 01 fell back to the ground, losing his Alloy Sword and leaving no main weapon, meaning that he could only attack with his only hot weapon.
Kecheng didn't panic, he knew that he could get out of it even if he couldn't kill it, but now he had to find a way to control this guy.
The two AP pistols on Kraken 01's back were not enough to threaten the ten-meter-long mutant crocodile, but rather provoked it.
"Originally, I didn't want to get serious, but this time I have to kill you, remnants of the Martyrs' Guild." Kecheng suddenly understood something, and immediately used the thruster to quickly advance to the hatch that came in, directly ignoring the mutant saltwater crocodile that was chasing.
"It's an SLM carrier, and it can sense our presence." About ten motorized infantry of the Society of Martyrs appeared in front of Cocheng.
All ten motorized infantrymen suddenly made a similar move, taking out the HE launch tube from their backs and lifting it up.
And the person who leads them is Motoyama Kazuke, but his mission this time is not to kill Kojo as a commissioner of the E Section, but to clean up the things of this abandoned research institute, so it can be said that their mission this time is surprisingly consistent.
"You guys have done a lot more information than the E department, and you didn't treat my friends outside what they did." Kecheng said it very calmly.
"It's fine, it's just that you and that monster are going to die here today!" Yiyi suddenly shouted.
Ten motorized infantry fired at the same time, and nearly 30 HE* rounds flew in the direction of Couse.
"Warning! The armor damage rate reached 22%, please transfer it in time. "System synthesized sounds.
Kraken 01 didn't have time to dodge at all, but instinctively pushed back with his waist thruster, but he didn't expect the mutant crocodile that jumped up to fly in front of him, helping Kecheng block the terrifying firepower output.
The mutated crocodile had been blown to pieces, and puddles of disgusting flesh and blood were scattered all over the chamber.
When Cocheng stood up, there was no trace of the Martyr's motorized infantry, but he knew that the motorized infantry was very similar to the Phipolos's Warrior Police model, and based on the speed of evacuation, it was estimated that its output and performance were definitely higher than that of the Warrior Cavalry Police model.
"The E-carbon alloy extended shield has worn 79% and is no longer usable, please disengage it manually." The synthesized sound of the Alph02 system reminds Kecheng.
The explosion just now, even though the mutant crocodile had already helped Kecheng block the damage he wanted to do, still destroyed the E-carbon alloy expansion shield.
Kraken 01 also had a lot of damage overall, and just as Kecheng was about to leave, the life detector suddenly reacted, which made him dispel his thoughts.
"Attention, a slight vital reaction has been detected."
Kecheng walked to the deeper cabin according to the instructions of the life detector, he knew what else was inside, although it was a bit nosy, after all, the people of the Martyrs' Association had already helped him complete the task, but he didn't know what attracted him to move forward.
The current Kecheng walked forward step by step like a living corpse, looking intently ahead without blinking.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the newly arrived cabin was filled with stagnant water, and a new life reaction appeared.
However, Kecheng ignored the system's warnings, and dragged the heavy body of Kraken 01 to continue walking forward little by little, not noticing the mutated zombies following behind.
These zombies had just finished their dormancy, dragging their broken bodies and moving slowly, instinctively chasing the lives of the different species that were moving. A total of more than twenty aliens gathered behind Kecheng, none of them returned to their previous vitality, and some of them were crawling with broken legs and stumps.
Kecheng walked to the end of the research institute and stopped in front of the door of the last cabin, he finally came to his senses, turned around and looked at the twenty or so aliens in front of him, thinking that he was coming.
"Branch City! Science City! What happened to you! Lin Chuxiao shouted loudly in the communication, "What's behind you...... Stuff, a lot! ”
Côtes' communications devices had actually been damaged during the Martyrs' Association motorized infantry's HE* attacks, so he had no idea anyone was contacting him at this time.
It's just that he has to calm down and deal with the situation in front of him now.
The last weapons of Kraken 01 are the arc generator on the left elbow and the two alloy daggers hidden in the fixed wings of the legs.
"The number ahead is 23, detected as a seedlife infected, moving at a speed of 15km/h, pay attention to dodge." System synthesized sounds.
Kecheng was a little annoyed by the warning of this system, and regardless of the plan provided by the system, he directly rushed over with the two alloy competitions that were less than 20 centimeters.
Kraken 01 was able to reach 84 km/h at full strength, but due to the previous explosion, the two thrusters in the waist were damaged, and it could only rush through at a maximum speed of 60 km/h.
This speed was already high for an alien body, so Kecheng easily used two alloy blades to cut through the alien's broken skin.
"Hopefully this is the last time I'll do something like this." Kecheng thought to himself, and at the same time kicked down the last surviving alien, and then directly threw the alloy blade in his right hand and hit the alien directly in the head.
Kecheng seems to know why the saltwater crocodile is so big, and it is very likely that it feeds on these aliens, but the aliens here are dormant, and the mutated saltwater crocodile has not been able to find living creatures, in fact, the mutated saltwater crocodile may have been hungry for a long time, or is also dormant.
After clearing all this trouble, Cocheng walked to the end of the cabin out of here. Interestingly, this cabin is electrified and can be directly entered.
Kecheng walked inside and watched all this, and he was shocked.
It's very clean, not particularly big, but there's plenty of light and it's still on.
Of course, there was also discord, a man in a research suit collapsed on a table, and Cocheng knew that the skinny and dead man would not be an alien, so he walked straight there and found a manual.
Only some of them are still recognizable.
On October 16, 2100, "White" was born. As required to be a woman. ”
"On January 2, 2104, Bai's vital response was abnormal, and gene therapy was administered."
"On May 23, 2109, the growth of white was in good condition, the concentration of the seedlife virus was normal, and no lethal factors were detected."
"On April 27, 2112, the injection of purified seedlife virus experiments began, and Bai showed signs of pre-infection, and we were worried that she would fail to die or become a zombie."
"On April 29, 2112, Shiro's condition reversed, and a small amount of maneuver appeared in the test."
"On 12/6/2112, to celebrate the success of the project, we told the higher authorities that Bai had turned into an artificially formed SLM carrier, and the next day the higher authorities sent a strange team of people here."
……
"On December 29, 2112, it was a hell outside, they all became crazy, they all became zombies, and some of the people sent by their superiors had infectious agents in their bodies! I had no choice but to bring Shiro here, but we couldn't get out of here, so I had to give Shiro the freezer machine that was still in the experimental stage, after all, she was like my own daughter. ”
"On January 1, 2113, I started the freezer when I was asleep in white, and I watched the two heavy glasses close, and I didn't feel good, I wasn't sure if the power of this mechanism could still make the freezer use to be cleaned up outside and found white, so I tried to transfer the power of the entire mechanism to this cabin, I simply made a calculation that the refrigerator and the electrical appliances of this cabin can be used for at least 30 years, if anyone finds this note, I hope you must save white, She is the only person I cherish in this life, and I hope you don't tell anyone the truth about Bai being an artificially created SLM carrier, treat her well, and I will die without regrets. —Hilbert Shanxin. ”
That's all he could see, and it was because of this note that he noticed the glass cabin in front of him, which was indicated by the vital detector.
He made his way to the glass pod, where he was unable to see the person inside, the "white" face that the researcher referred to as the special glass structure.
Kecheng unlocked it little by little through the computer instructions on the side, and finally stopped at the option of "whether to unfreeze".
He wasn't sure if he would be able to wake up Shiro, because the freezer was only an experiment, and most experiments failed to thaw and died.
After thinking for a while, Kecheng finally made up his mind and lifted the freeze.
The glass finally opened, and inside was a little girl sleeping about 12 years old, her face was very clean, her skin was very white, and her hair was very long and black and shiny.
Kecheng's pupils dilated, as if he felt incredible. Picking her up with his hands slightly, she seemed to be very light and cold.
He didn't know what to do now, but he knew that the medicine kept in this cabin had expired, and he had to get her out and get her to a hospital, even a clinic.
Because Kecheng knew that she was still alive, because from the moment he picked her up, he had already felt her slight pulse vibrate.
Kraken 01 didn't have enough fuel left for him to fly away from the institute all the way, so he stopped halfway through, and Kecheng ran away from the institute instead.
When he left the institute, there was no one outside, just a pile of discarded garbage.
Kecheng had no choice but to run desperately to the branch of the E branch in the Japanese Heavy Industry Zone, he ran for more than thirty minutes, and in order to make the little girl's survival possible, he left her with adrenaline.
When he ran to the gate of the E Branch in the suburbs, he was already dizzy, and he happened to see Leon and Lin Chuxiao, Ning Hao and others who were about to return to the E Branch headquarters.
The three of them were shocked when they saw Kecheng come back at this time.
Leon even shouted directly: "Wow, you are really fateful, I thought it was hell, you were not blown up by those bastards of the Martyrs Association, how lucky you are."
Although his words were ridiculous, they were more happy that Kecheng was still alive.
"Where have you been, why did you come back at this time?" Compared with Leon, Lin Chuxiao asked very gently.
Kecheng swayed, even if the physical fitness of the SLM carrier was higher than that of the athlete, but this was already the limit, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to think about it directly.
However, he was caught by Ning Hao, and by the way, the little girl was also caught together.
"He is very overdrawn, send him to first aid, and this girl's life is also very weak." Ning Hao gave the order after a brief inspection.
Two minutes later, the medical team members of the E section sent the two of them to the emergency ward, but Leon, Lin Chuxiao, and Ning Hao's return itinerary to the headquarters did not change, they just prayed that the city was fine, and then took the transport plane back to the E department headquarters.
