Volume 1 Glacial Relics Chapter 22: Movie plots are all lies
"Besides this, do you have any better idea?" Ke Lan asked.
"this……"
At this time, Ivan suddenly interrupted and said, "Ke Lan is right. If the fungal blanket continues to provide it with nutrients, no one can predict what it will eventually evolve into. At that time, our chances of winning will be even lower."
The so-called "converter overload" actually means that the operating power of the crystalline energy converter is pushed to the limit when the safety limit valve is released. In this case, the entire converter will be in an extremely unstable state. If the energy is maintained, it will be like continuing to inflate a balloon that has been expanded to its maximum. The final result is only one - explosion.
There had been hunters who, when they had no other choice, had used bombs made with converters to open up a path, but unfortunately, anyone who did so was either swept up in the aftermath of the explosion or directly buried alive by large-scale landslides, and very few managed to escape alive... Ultimately, the main reason for these tragedies was that this type of "bomb" had no specifications at all, and no one could give an accurate parameter for the detonation time, explosive power or affected area, and it could only be estimated based on feeling.
"...Since you all said so, let's take a gamble." Layton took a deep breath and pulled out an egg-shaped metal device from his body - this was the main power furnace of his mechanical prosthesis, with six crystal energy converters built in, all of which were high-end products with a conversion rate of up to 90%.
As soon as the power reactor left his body, his tall body instantly slumped down. He half-knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand that was holding the power reactor: "I have already released the safety valve. As long as there are enough crystals, this thing will explode."
"Yes." Ke Lan took over the power furnace and stuffed more than a dozen high-level crystals into it in one breath. Suddenly, the whole power furnace began to tremble violently, and strong white light continued to gush out from the joints of the metal parts, as if it was boiling.
"Take Layton with us, we have to hide outside the giant gate!" Ke Lan shouted. The outer shell of the power reactor had begun to disintegrate, and a large number of cracks appeared on the inner wall of the converter - this thing could turn into a mini supernova at any time!
Ivan and the hound immediately dragged the immobile Layton back, while Asano Akira wielded the battle blade to clean up the spreading fungal blanket while slowly retreating...
The pilot had now completely turned into an inhuman monster. A thick black stratum corneum completely covered its body, and a layer of hard exoskeleton was added to the vital parts. A large number of sharp bone spurs broke out of the body. At the same time, the coccyx began to grow wildly, forming a long, thorny tail like a steel whip.
If it is allowed to continue evolving, even Asano Akie may not be its match.
"Asano Akira, let's retreat!" Seeing that Layton and the others had already left the cave, Ke Lan hurriedly shouted to Asano Akira who was left behind, and at the same time, he smashed the power reactor hard at the pilot, then turned around and ran -
"boom--!!!!"
Along with the heat wave came an extremely powerful shock wave. Ke Lan felt as if someone had pushed him hard from behind. He instantly flew off the ground on his toes, and then was thrown to the ground, rolling more than ten meters away...
"Hiss..." Intense pain came from all parts of his body. Ke Lan didn't know how many times he had fallen or how many bones he had broken...
This is really embarrassing... The movies are really all lies. What is "real men never look back at the explosion"? It's simply because the bombs used by those "real men" are too weak. If you have the guts, try dropping a Big Ivan with your body...
A pair of No. 105 military boots appeared in front of Ke Lan, and then Ke Lan felt that he was being carried up by someone, walked about ten meters, and then put on the ground.
Before he could get up, a pair of hands held him down again. Amid Ke Lan's screams, the hands quickly felt his entire body - "Alright, stop screaming. I checked you. Not a single bone is broken. There are only some superficial abrasions and soft tissue contusions."
"The bones aren't broken?" Ke Lan was stunned, and for a moment he seemed to have forgotten the pain. "Is the bomb powerful enough? Is that guy dead? And what about the fungal blanket?"
"It died completely." This time it was the Hound who spoke. "When that guy saw you throw the power reactor out, he actually jumped on it. Tsk, tsk, that was so miserable. His head was blown to pieces. As for the fungal blankets, they withered quickly after it died. I don't know why, but all in all, we won the bet!"
"I feel like I almost donated myself." Ke Lan stood up with some difficulty, gritted his teeth and moved his hands and feet. However, the severe pain in his ankle immediately made him groan again.
"Why are you screaming like a woman? If this minor injury happened to Natasha, she wouldn't even frown." Ivan handed over a metal can with some disdain, "Pain relief spray, don't use too much, otherwise your whole leg will lose feeling."
After taking the jar, Ke Lan asked in confusion, "Who is Natasha?"
"My girlfriend," Ivan said.
"You're not a frequent domestic violence guy, are you? Otherwise, how do you know that your girlfriend doesn't even frown when she's injured?" After spraying a few times, Ke Lan threw the can back and said unhappily.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that she is the champion of the 26th and 27th Noah's Ark Women's Free Fighting Competition." Ivan said with some pride.
"I suddenly feel that the one I need to worry about is not your girlfriend, but you..."
After briefly treating his wounds, Ke Lan limped to the giant gate. Looking up, he saw a large pit about four or five meters in diameter and half a meter deep on the ground two hundred meters away. The edge of the pit was stained with a lot of charred meat. Just as the hound said, the monster at the center of the explosion did not even leave a complete corpse.
The target had been confirmed dead, and Ke Lan's gaze subconsciously turned to the sarcophagus on the platform - he could feel that there seemed to be something inside the sarcophagus, vaguely calling him.
Of course, he was not the only one who had this feeling. Every hunter present was staring at the sarcophagus. After all, the entire cave was almost empty except for the platform and the pillars around it. If there was any good thing, it could only be in the sarcophagus.
"I just don't know if the Alpha people have the custom of burying valuables with the dead... If so, we'll definitely make a fortune this time..." The Hound murmured. If he hadn't had to support Layton, he would have rushed to the platform long ago.
"Are you so sure that this thing is a coffin?" Ivan glanced at him. "We don't even know if there is a concept of coffins in the Alpha civilization. In my opinion, it is more likely that this thing is an operating table."
