Now that Lao Gou took the initiative to take on the task of dealing with this woman, Ke Lan was happy and relaxed, and he jumped directly to the back row and sat down with Asano Akira.

"Get ready to go." Ke Lan patted the old dog on the shoulder and said.

"Everyone, please sit still -" the old dog winked at Yui in the passenger seat, and then with a cheerful whistle, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

This "Junius" off-road vehicle accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in about five seconds, which is very close to the data of a supercar - of course, it can do this entirely with the help of the crystallized engine.

, this kind of power device originated from Alpha Civilization, the time required from ignition to boosting to maximum power is so short that it is unimaginable. The reason why it takes five seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers is purely due to the technology on the human side.

It's a drag... Otherwise, as long as the energy is enough and the frame strength of the car body can support it, it won't be a problem even if it wants to fly...

"Strength makes bricks fly", this is not a joke.

"Junius" took the lead and rushed to the front of the convoy - during the landing battle that year, almost all the ground around the landing site was plowed by powerful weapons, so there were thousands of kilometers around the Ark.

The flat terrain and the fact that there are very few indigenous creatures nearby make it perfect for racing.

Ke Lan did not stop the old dog from venting his behavior... To be honest, after experiencing so many depressing things, it was quite nice to have such an opportunity to relax.

The route of the convoy has been marked on the tablet screen. Calculated at normal speed, with no stops along the way, and if the drivers alternate shifts, it will take almost eight days and seven nights to reach the Leviathan.

Of course, the premise is that "everything goes well".

…

"Attention all units, the front is about to enter a moderate radiation area, activate protective measures, change formations, and tracked armored vehicles will take the lead."

As the old dog spoke, he slowed down the car and pressed a few times on the operation panel. The folding roof rose from the rear and covered the entire car. In less than ten seconds

, this open-top "Junius" already has a completely enclosed safety compartment.

"The dust filter device is enabled, the interlayer protective grille is powered on, the ventilation fan is turned off, and replaced with a built-in one-way ventilation..." Old Dog operated it skillfully. Although this Junius is Leighton's car, he can usually

Open frequently.

"Wash your eyes and pay attention to your surroundings, especially the top of your head." Lao Gou added in the communication channel.

The biggest threat in the radiation zone is never the radiation itself, but the indigenous creatures that are attracted by the radiation and live here.

"Car No. 1 reported that an abnormality was found 800 meters ahead, suspected to be signs of indigenous biological activity, requesting instructions." Car No. 1 is the "Propeller 2" tracked armored vehicle at the front of the convoy. This type of heavy armored vehicle

The thickness of the front armor plate reaches 35 centimeters. Facing most obstacles in the wilderness, with the help of strong power and heavy tonnage, it can be directly smashed and then crushed over... Of course, the indigenous people

Living things are also included in this "obstacle".

"Keep the current speed, no need to avoid." Ke Lan took the walkie-talkie from the old dog and "hit it directly."

"But..." The driver of car No. 1 suddenly had a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"What's wrong?" Ke Lan looked out through the car window. They were about two hundred meters away from Car No. 1, which meant that they were almost one kilometer away from the location where signs of biological activity were found in Car No. 1.

Based on the curvature of Alpha Star's horizon, since they couldn't see anything here, it must not be something big blocking the road.

"Mr. Commander... although according to the scanning results of the thermal radar, there is something there, but on the image of the drone, nothing can be seen!" said the driver of Car No. 1.

"Can't see anything?" Ke Lan quickly used the tablet in his hand to enter the operating system of the command vehicle, and then switched to the interface of the drone - just as the driver of the No. 1 vehicle said, after being detected by the thermal radar

In the area marked as "abnormal", the drone's camera did not capture any living creatures. There was only khaki sand and light gray gravel. Other than that, there was nothing else.

"All vehicles, stop immediately." Ke Lan thought for a moment and immediately issued the latest order, "The thermal radar did not make an error. That thing is hiding under the surface - Car No. 4 and Car No. 5, use rockets to attack it.

Conduct coverage strikes in the area.”

"Are you sure?" The old dog turned his head, "If there is something hidden underground, it is impossible for the thermal radar to detect abnormalities. Could it be that radiation caused the radar to malfunction?"

"Anyway, it's better to be careful." Ke Lan glanced at the two armed off-road vehicles that had fixed brackets anchored into the ground, and added, "We don't have to pay for the ammunition anyway."

"That's right." The old dog nodded in agreement.

A burst of fire flashed, and the first round of thirty-six rockets had drawn a beautiful arc in the air and hit the target area accurately——

"boom!!"

A strong air wave swept over instantly with a loud noise. Fortunately, the window glass used by the team was specially made and was not shattered. However, Junius's rearview mirror was turned into powder.

"The intensity of this explosion is impossible!" Old Dog immediately shouted, "Let alone thirty-six of these small rockets, even three hundred and sixty, it is impossible for them to have such an effect. Damn it,

Are there tons of explosives buried under that piece of land?"

"No, it's not explosives..." Ke Lan shook his head. He had been staring at the real-time footage of the drone and saw much more than Lao Gou and the others.

The direct impact of the explosion area was more than 400 meters, and in the center area, a huge crater with a diameter of more than 100 meters appeared directly. A black beetle that was four or five times larger than a tracked armored vehicle was attacking the huge crater.

It was struggling desperately in the pit - a big hole was blown out of its back, and a liquid like magma was pouring out from its resting place.

"Good guy, it's actually a lava cantharis!" The old dog poked his head over and glanced at the tablet in Ke Lan's hand, "No wonder the thermal radar can detect it even through the thick sand. What's inside this thing's body?"

The temperature must be thousands of degrees!"

"If we had just rushed over, I'm afraid we would have scrapped several vehicles." Ke Lan said, burrowing into the ground to ambush, this is a common hunting method used by lava canthaphids. The high-temperature mucus it spits out can easily melt through the armor of vehicles, and

Once it is stained, it is like gangrene attached to the bone, and it is impossible to remove it with their current methods.

"Car No. 4 and Car No. 5 will launch a second round of rocket fire thirty seconds later. All vehicles in front will retreat to the position of the command vehicle to prepare for the impact." Ke Lan ordered again.

Creatures like lava beetles will not hesitate to choose to self-destruct when they are about to die. When the time comes, the scope and power of the explosion will be several times greater than for the first time!
