Section 17: Ancient Aberrations

There is more than one, and there are many of them. They have a wide variety of distorted phases of different specifications. There is no doubt that they are either the research of the synth David, or the research of failure. And without exception, they are all stronger than what they appear in the movie, much stronger of the kind.

A few of the synth soldiers who were a little forward were crushed to pieces in an instant, their mutilated limbs still pulling the trigger at the ancient aliens who had been driven out of the shadows. However, this future generation of small-caliber smart guns is not able to play the destructive power it should have, and it looks like a very ordinary silicon shell, but it has never been able to easily penetrate and shatter it!

- Stance effect.

Zheng Zha roared angrily, and rushed into the ranks of the ancient aliens like a raging wind. With both hands swinging the giant axe, like a strong storm suddenly blowing between the mountain cliffs, the two ancient aliens were cut off in an instant, and their shells were broken, but it was just that, and they did not die immediately!

"There is a sense of blockage! I chop them like chopping a ball of cotton! He yelled on the public frequency. And the next moment, a blood-sucking ball was projected by him. Crashing into an ancient alien who wanted to sneak up from the side and back, and everyone saw that the ball of blood-red energy was like a scorching coal ball falling into the snow, and the friction on the surface of the ancient alien was reduced for a moment before it exploded violently, turning into a blazing, but one size smaller than before.

Psionic energy, telekinesis, biofields—whatever they were, these ancient xenomorphs clearly possessed some kind of invisible protective layer on their bodies. And this only made their silica shells stronger, even the laser cannon held by Mu Gang couldn't kill them in an instant!

"Thin the shield with saturated firepower!" Chu Xuan shouted loudly, this was not just shouted to those synthetics. And the next moment, the synthesizers, as well as Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan and Xia, all set up howitzers or threw grenades, and immediately after, the fragmentation explosion of the super era broke out unscrupulously in the ancient alien array, and the sign of the results was that the luster of their carapaces was visibly dimmed to the naked eye.

'Hum-'

The light burst forth again, and this time, the laser cannon tore through two ancient xenomorphs like two fragile pieces of paper. Chu Xuan undoubtedly made a correct judgment, no matter what type of shield it was, since it didn't have and couldn't have a powerful enough built-in energy source, then it should have a fixed limit. It should be triggered in a stressful manner, and when an attack is coming from all directions, a single direct attack can be more easily effective.

This was his role, and the ancient Xenomorphs understood it at once. A slightly smaller xenomorph silently poked out of the shadows behind him, sharp claws that might tear apart his skull in a split second.

Air, silent condensation.

Thinking of power, Zhang Jie stretched out his hand behind Chu Xuan—the ancient alien was frozen for a short moment. And the next moment, a bright blue electromagnetic cannon fire bombarded it, directly evaporating its entire head, leaving a scorching arc on its upper body!

Electromagnetic Cannon - It may be true that a single shot of a electromagnetic cannon is more powerful than a laser, but it should not be as effective. Because Mu Gang's laser cannon can shoot many rounds in a second, it can't just touch the armor-piercing line.

"It's telekinesis, and telekinesis is especially effective against the shield that suppresses them!"

With a hint, Jiang Yu shared his findings. And Zhan Lan did not hesitate to abandon the grenade launcher at hand. Aiming at the ancient alien form the most, and it is also the direction where Zheng Zhe is, it is a full-fledged telekinetic impact!

It's not strong, at best it's just a gale of about seven degrees. It was completely inferior to the bombardment effect of grenades and grenades, but the moment it collided head-on with these aliens, the invisible protective force field in the monsters' bodies reacted most violently to the telekinetic impact from all directions at the same time. The intangible is almost all about to become tangible at this moment, a thin film that can be seen intently on the carapace of the aliens' body after the genetic lock is opened!

Once the flaws are exposed, they become dead holes. Once the shield is thinned, it cannot effectively defend points and lines. A few injured ancient aliens were killed by Zheng Zhe in an instant. As soon as the rest were about to retreat, they were bombarded by laser cannons and lightning pulses.

There was an explosion.

Attempt to ambush the ancient aliens of the reincarnations, leaving behind ten corpses. The remaining ones fled deeper into the darkness.

The reincarnators did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Weaker than expected, be careful, the big one is either in the back, or this is the trap that leads us through." Jiang Yu drove the Thundercloud Armor to the front, he deliberately stepped over several ancient alien wreckage, and after losing traces of life, it was easier for the steel giant foot to crush them than the ones on the ship.

He noticed the surrounding subsurface and found that there was no large amount of black secretions of aliens. Here, the composition of 'Engineer Abandonment' is much higher than that of 'Xenomorph Lair'. And this is a little bit of a conflict with the Infinite Origin Alien IV that he knows.

Coupled with the inexplicable protective abilities of these ancient aliens......

"Some kind of radiation." Jiang Yu said softly, with a reference answer as proof. Naturally, he was able to draw conclusions more quickly. "Zhan Lan, try to scan the scope of the Black Domain again."

"Okay......" Zhan Lan closed his eyes, and then opened them quickly, with a little surprise in his tone. Faded! The scope of the Black Domain has been reduced, and I couldn't see this section of the road, but I can see it now! ”

"What about the control area and the incubation area?"

"Hmm...... No, it still can't be done there. Zhan Lan quickly gave a new answer.

"Is it indistinct or invisible?" Chu Xuan walked to the side of the wreckage that had been knocked down, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask Zhan Lan.

"It's invisible."

"It's not interference, it's shielding." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. "Interesting...... These aliens seem to be more powerful, but their body structure has many flaws and irrationalities. It's not so much an advance of the alien as a prototype test subject in the biochemical laboratory. And what we have to deal with is the 'front-end branch'. ”

He stood up and quickly uttered his reasoning within the channel: "There must be a prequel to the Xenomorphs. Maybe it's a logical 'prequel', or maybe it's a new work that the director hasn't announced yet. And the story of this prequel should be to tell the origin of the alien - this wrecked ship should be the place where the story takes place, and even the settlement 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 no more powerful prototypes have been abandoned, the lack of strength of the black xenomorph has become orthodox. ”

"There must be some kind of flaw in them...... Some kind of vulnerability. This would be the reason why their creators abandoned them, or at least not keep the protective force field for the finished product. But I've deduced it many times, and I can't find a reason to abandon the ability to mount creature shields that doesn't exist in the current worldview. So...... I can only think differently. ”

He looked at the other veterans.

"Two possibilities. First, the 'Lord God' involuntarily adds to the difficulty for us. Forcibly endowed these losers with new and powerful abilities. Second, something anomalous has occurred, perhaps an unfinished experiment has been initiated, or a special catalyst has been brought into play. The Ripley lifeship that fell from the sky should have been a huge inducement. And I suspect that it is for this reason that they are awakened and gain new posture and strength. ”

"If it's one, then naturally there's nothing to say. But if it's two...... Whether it's weird instruments, mysterious minerals, or even alien relics. In the next battle, if we can detect it in time and let it work. Then when the scenario is not in our favor, it is possible to fight for a turnaround. ”

- It's black water.

When Chu Xuan said the second possibility, Jiang Yu's heart appeared with a corresponding answer. Because Blackwater is something new in Prometheus. It can disassemble and then reconstruct genetic material. But under normal circumstances, touching or drinking it will only bring quick and painful destruction to the user. But if ...... There are one or two points of chance, and the alien as a derivative of black water may not be able to usher in a secondary mutation after contact with black water.

Chu Xuan's inference is most likely correct, because as long as the setting of Prometheus is followed, then there must still be black water left behind by the synthesizer David in this abandoned ship. And the collision of the life-saving spacecraft through the hull may really be the biggest inducement for the remaining black water leakage and play a role!

Butterfly effect. As a piling up of coincidences, this is a joke that is too bad.

But even if this information is known, what can it be? Blackwater isn't as convenient to use as the big red button. Unless the entire jar of black water is poured directly into the alien's body, it won't be able to exert its effect at all - but if you can really do that kind of thing, wouldn't it be better to shoot directly at the alien's mouth!?

"It's a possibility." Jiang Yu nodded. "But...... Since it is a completely new variety of secondary mutations. Is it possible that there is a disadvantage of unstable internal structures, which makes it difficult to fight for a long time? ”

"I haven't done anything like this. However, I'm a little curious. "Chu Xuan's new armor has a temporary sprayed acid layer. And he used the blade of the same material to cut open the two mutated alien bodies with no difficulty. All the places where the blood vessels were dense or protected by bone plates were quickly peeled out, and no strange and unique organs were found in these key locations.

"As a carbon-silicon lifeform that obeys the rules of physics. These aberrations...... Where did they get all that energy to supply them with a shield that was enough to briefly protect them from laser cannon bombardment? ”
