"This... we can't go around now. What we say is the same as what we don't say." Hound sighed, "I'm afraid this level will be difficult."

"If you react quickly enough, you may be able to escape the moment the trap is triggered, but the risk is still very high." Ke Lan said. He remembered that during that exploration, there was a hunter who was a thief, and relied on his agility to

Fa avoided three traps in succession, and it was not until he hit the fourth trap that he was struck due to lack of physical strength.

This is also an important reason why they chose to take a detour in the end: even if you avoid the first trap, from this moment on, it is difficult for you to stop. The scope of the trap is much larger than the triggering range.

The only way to protect yourself is to keep moving at high speed - in this case, you no longer have the power to choose your footing, and then you will trigger more traps one after another until you die of exhaustion.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are masters who can rush out of the trap area in one breath, but the difficulty is like walking into a minefield with a physical body. You must be faster than the flying fragments in order to reach the safe area safely.

What's more, the area of ​​the hall in front of them is larger than what Ke Lan and the others encountered before, and the number of "landmines" will only be more, not less...

"I can try." It was Akira Asano who spoke. At this time, he had taken off his heavy protective clothing and the worn-out armor, leaving only a sleeveless combat uniform made of reinforced fiber.

Ke Lan discovered that Akira Asano's exposed arms were densely covered with various scars, and almost no part of the skin was intact.

What is the background of this guy...

"Are you sure?" Ke Lan glanced at the alloy column in the center of the hall, then at the two entrances located at the end points of the oval's short axis, and said, "The door directly opposite is too far away, so I won't consider it. The one closest to us is

The safe zone is nine floors three by three on the left and right sides. The straight-line distance is about 120 meters. You will pass through about forty to fifty floors. At least half of the plots inside will trigger traps... As for coverage,

That’s almost the entire distance.”

"My gravity resistance training record while moving is 125 times my own weight, and the time is 1.75 seconds. If it were only a hundred times gravity, I should have time to escape from that area." Asano Akira replied, and he handed over the protective clothing and armor.

He killed Ke Lan and tied the sword behind his back with a rope.

125 times? 1.75 seconds? The other five people couldn't help but look at each other. If what he said is true, then this is undoubtedly a monster-like data - you know, even the elite space shuttle pilot on the Ark, the highest intensity overweight overload

The training was only at a gravity of 35 g, and they still wore anti-gravity suits and were fixed on seats for training.

One hundred and twenty-five times the force of gravity while moving? Ke Lan simply can't even think about it. You must know that the strength of human bones has its limit. While staying still, the force of one hundred times the force of gravity in an instant may not be enough.

The bones are crushed, but if it enters a moving state at this time, the load-bearing limit of the bones will be reduced to one-fifth to one-tenth of that in the fixed state. There is only one ending, and that is literally "crushed to pieces."

In Ke Lan's view, this was simply not training, but murder.

Unless Asano Akira has received top-notch biochemical modifications above level 9, or is like the protagonist in an antique science fiction movie, he replaced the calcium in the bones of the whole body with high-strength alloy... But the modified person above level 9 is the entire Ark.

There are only a few of them. With their identities and abilities, it is absolutely impossible for them to fall to this level; as for Adamantium alloy, it is no longer science fiction, but a mythical category.

"The types of traps are not limited to this one. You still have to be more careful. I will record every floor you step on... I wish you good luck." Having said this, Ke Lan couldn't do it.

It's time to stop Asano Akira. Besides, he can't think of a better way to crack it.

"My speed will be very fast, so keep an eye on my steps." After saying this, Asano Akira rushed out like an arrow from a string.

However, as soon as his front foot left the safe zone, Ke Lan felt a strong sense of crisis and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly retreat! Move back six spaces!"

Except for the nine-square safe zone, no one knows that there is a mechanism hidden on that floor. If the first floor is triggered, then even the safe zone will be affected——

As expected, Asano Akira's whole body trembled as soon as he landed, and his face looked unnatural for a moment. Fortunately, he quickly got out of the overweight quagmire and continued to rush forward.

"Directly ahead, with the center of the safety zone as the base point, coordinates 2-2, gravity trap." Ke Lan quickly wrote it down, "The first step was wrong. It may be difficult to find a safe route after seeing this.

"

This is the method he and Akira Asano chose. This is the stupidest, but also the most error-free method of cracking - human trial and error, which will eliminate the plots that trigger the trap one by one, and then find a safe passage from them.

According to the calculated mathematical expectation, Asano Akira would need at least three round trips to find a safe route. If he is not lucky, this number will rise to eight or nine trips.

On the premise of ensuring his own safety, Asano Akira must step on as many floors as possible, which is also a severe test for his physical strength.

"Coordinates 4-9, ground thorn trap. The ground thorns are about thirty centimeters high and ten centimeters apart...Coordinates 7-16, well, it looks like a gravity trap...Coordinates 14-30, this should be a high temperature trap. The surrounding

The density of the air changes, causing the refraction of light..."

Akira Asano hardly slowed down. The contact between his toes and the floor was only for a brief moment. Then he jumped out several meters away under the influence of powerful force, moving left and right. He was like a dancer dancing with death.

However, death cannot keep up with his pace.

"Coordinates 67-83, electric current trap, phew..." After recording the last mechanism block, Ke Lan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, Asano Akira, who was standing in the safe zone in the distance, was already in a mess.

.

His clothes and trousers had marks of cuts to varying degrees, his thick protective boots were burned black, and his broken hair was electrocuted into an afro, making him look a little funny.

Akira Asano, who is almost equated with a monster in the eyes of everyone, is in such a miserable state. If it had been anyone else, he would have been dead long ago...

"Asano, take a rest for a while and wait until your condition recovers before taking the next step. In addition, I have recorded all the traps you triggered on the map and will send them to you now." Ke Lan said to the communication device,

But before he could send the map, the hound directly hugged his waist and dragged him back into the passage!

"What's going on?!" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, but before anyone else could answer him, he suddenly discovered that the two calves of Zhuo Ligetu, who was farthest from the entrance of the passage, had already sunk into the ground! They were originally solid

The floor had turned into gravel at some point, and if the hound hadn't pulled him up, he would have sunk in by now.

"It's quicksand! What's going on? Who triggered the trap?" Ke Lan shouted, "Quickly, pull him out!"

"No one triggered it. The safe zone has changed. The entire safe zone has turned into a trap!" Layton said. His outstretched mechanical arm had already grabbed Zhuoligetu's shoulder, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

——Fortunately, it was quicksand. If it had been replaced by other more deadly traps, I am afraid that except for Asano Akira, this hunter team would have been wiped out...

At this moment, Zhuoligetu suddenly shouted in pain: "Ah - wow - something! Something is biting my leg! My leg!!"

The hounds who were originally planning to go to pull Zhuoligetu stepped back and shouted: "There is something under the quicksand, everyone, be prepared!"

It took Leighton a full four or five seconds to pull Zhuoligetu out. The strong Mongolian man had already fainted. Everyone was horrified to find that only his body below the knees was left.

Dense bones!

"Swiss, swish, swish..." Accompanied by a scalp-numbing sound, countless black beetles crawled out of the pits formed by the quicksand. Each of these beetles was the size of a palm, with a long thorn on the front of its mouthparts.

It has a three-petal jaw that is completely out of proportion to the body, and there are sharp serrations on the inside of the jaw - this is an organ that has evolved to crush flesh and blood.

"Cleftjaw! It's Cleftjaw!" the hound exclaimed. Unlike the small bugs that could control corpses before, they are not unfamiliar with Cleftjaw at all - this is definitely what hunters least want to encounter.

One of the indigenous creatures of Alpha Planet!

They are like the super-evolved version of the army ants on the earth. Wherever they pass, any creature will be chewed up, leaving only a skeleton, even the notorious Thunder Beast.

According to the Alpha Star exploration guidelines, any sign of activity of the Cleftjaw swarm must be reported to Ark as soon as possible. Immediately afterwards, all nearby ground units evacuate urgently, and drones equipped with napalm bombs are dispatched to attack the entire area with a sea of ​​fire.

Carpet cleaning of the area.

Radiation, bullets, explosives and highly toxic broad-spectrum insecticides are all unsatisfactory in their killing effect on schizophrenia. Only high temperature and flame are their real nemesis - but the problem is that Ke Lan and the others simply don't have any.

Such a weapon!

"Run! Run! I'll cut off the rear!" Layton backed up step by step. He held the unconscious Zhuoligetu in one hand, and the machine gun in the other hand roared crazily, with six barrels spitting out long tongues of fire.

——But this amount of firepower is completely useless. After repelling a wave of slitjaws, more will pounce on them soon. They will emerge from the holes in a steady stream, almost endlessly.

It's like a shark that smells blood... Ke Lan thought as he ran... He has never seen a real shark, and he doesn't know what a shark attracted to blood looks like, but writers from the old era

It seems that I like this rhetoric very much, and use it to describe those fanatical hunters... However, if they are thrown into the current environment, maybe a more appropriate metaphor will be born, right?

"It's like a gnatworm that has found its prey——"

…

They were everywhere, on the ground, on the walls, on the ceiling... The five people were running wildly, not daring to stop for a moment. Layton had already given up on the idea of ​​suppressing fire, and even the expensive machine cannon was given up by him.

I removed it just to reduce the burden a little bit.

"I don't want to die here -" the hound howled hysterically. He could no longer care about the threat of radiation at this moment. He took off the protective clothing on his hands and feet and threw it behind him, just in the blink of an eye.
