"The minority obeys the majority. Set up camp on the spot first, and then determine the next action plan based on the actual situation." The man who spoke is called Jonah, the last of the four rotating team captains, and the only one in the Fool's memory.
A person with a "name"... It's a pity that apart from the name, the Fool
All memories related to Jonah were "forgotten", and even Jonah's character and specialties were all erased.
The only thing left for Ke Lan is this name. No... not everything was erased... Ke Lan was startled. He suddenly discovered a loophole in the memory world - although he could not remember anything related to Jonah, if the Fool really erased everything except his name, If everything related to Jonah is erased, then in this memory world, Jonah's sense of existence will be even thinner than that of that passerby girl... Maybe even only the existence of such a person in the advance team will be remembered. He couldn't see clearly what he looked like, and he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying... Now that Jonah was standing there completely, with no mosaics on his face, Ke Lan could also hear what he said, which meant that It turns out that the Fool did not really forget this person, he just hid the information related to Jonah in a deeper place.
Among all the people, he is the only one with a name, but for this person with a name, all other relevant information is blank... This is very intriguing.
Ke Lan couldn't help but wonder, could this be a reminder specially left for him by the Fool? Could this Jonah be the key clue in this memory?
Ke Lan immediately decided to make this Jonah a key observation object, and if possible, try to choose to act with this person.
"Only Jonah can hold down that blonde girl." Lu Dan folded his arms and whispered to Ke Lan and the others with his head tilted, looking like he was watching a good show.
铓
"Why do you say that?" Just ask if you don't understand. Since the Fool didn't leave any information about Jonah in his memory, it's better to just ask the other people in his memory. Anyway, if you don't ask, it's useless. Even if it affects the original memory process, It will also be automatically corrected, so Ke Lan doesn’t have to worry about what will happen.
The "butterfly effect" causes the direction of events to change.
"Except for the late commander, Jonah is the most prestigious in the advance team... Apparently decisions are made through voting, but in fact as long as Jonah takes a stand, most people will agree with him." Dan whispered to Ke Lan.
It seems that he guessed it right... Ke Lan thought silently, the Fool did not forget all the information related to Jonah, he just hid the information.
"To be honest, I kind of forgot who this Jonah is..." Ke Lan asked tentatively, but this time, Lu Dan didn't respond at all as if he didn't hear his question at all.
"Maybe the necessary triggering conditions have not been met, so this part of the information cannot be unlocked?" Ke Lan muttered in his heart.
In the end, the blonde woman's suggestion was not adopted, and the advance team unanimously decided to act according to the plan set at the beginning.
The weapons box located in the cargo bay of the shuttle was opened, and each advance team member was assigned the corresponding weapon according to their position - these weapons have been sealed in the box for nineteen years, and fortunately they are in pretty good condition. , basically still usable.
The weapons are different from the large-caliber firearms that were replaced after Ark landed on Alpha Planet. These weapons are basically models handed down from the old era. During the interstellar drifting, although there were small-scale conflicts within Ark, they never turned into a war. .
People also knew very well that using powerful weapons on the Ark was tantamount to self-destruction. It is precisely for this reason that individual light weapons such as firearms have basically not developed much in the past nine hundred years. Even the newly built production lines are still made from thousands of years ago.
In an era when resources are extremely tight, as long as the most basic needs can be met, people will not invest excess manpower and material resources in unnecessary projects.
Ke Lan glanced at a pile of 5.56, 7.62 and 5.8 mm caliber weapons in the box, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart... People in this period have not suffered from weapon calibers. When the Ark landed on Alpha Planet, humans began to interact with the indigenous people. Only after a large-scale conflict between creatures occurs, they will discover that the weapons handed down from the old era are not powerful against the vast majority of indigenous creatures on Alpha Planet.
A rifle that can easily penetrate body armor is not even a scratch in front of those tough skin and chitinous carapace.
In the ninth year of the new era, the proposal to upgrade the muzzle of universal firearms was passed. At that time, the sample gun sent to the joint parliamentary group was
The "Zero Rifle", after several improvements, was finally shaped into the famous
"ARK-01 automatic rifle". After that, the Field Service Corps - no, there was no such organization as the Field Service Corps at that time, it should be called
In the hands of the "troops performing combat missions outside the Ark"--the soldiers finally had an individual weapon capable of causing fatal damage to most indigenous creatures.
As for this box, the only ones that can meet the requirements of this type of weapon are a few general-purpose machine guns using 7.62mm full-power bullets and an m14ebr precision marksman rifle that also uses this type of bullets.
Before the big screen of the shuttle went out, Ke Lan had already looked at the map. The place where they landed was a desert area named Area B17.
If Ke Lan remembers correctly, the official name of this place later was called Xiya Desert. It was the fourth largest desert in terms of area on Alpha Planet, almost equivalent to the Taklimakan Desert on Earth - of course.
"Planet Alpha", or in other words, the Taklimakan Desert on Earth in this time and space, has long since disappeared in the geological changes that lasted tens of thousands of years. The original four oceans have also merged into the Central Sea and the Polar Sea, and the continents have are connected together again, forming a vast
"Pangaea". The most common creature in the Xiya Desert is an armadillo-like creature, but it is much larger than the armadillos on Earth. Adult individuals are generally more than ten meters long.
Alien armadillos are also very aggressive and territorial. If someone intrudes into their territory, they will secretly drill holes and sneak directly under the enemy, and then break through the ground to launch a surprise attack.
This creature was named the Alien Armadillo by the biologists on the Ark. The most threatening parts of them are their sharp claws and scales that contain a large amount of metal elements and are as hard as armor.
It is difficult for these weapons held by the advance team to penetrate this layer of scale armor and cause effective damage to the alien armadillo, but the sharp claws of the alien armadillo can easily tear through the protective clothing equipped by the advance team.
Ke Lan did not personally participate in Ark's campaign to eliminate alien armadillos, but some related combat cases were recorded - before the Type 01 rifle was incorporated into the army, heavy machine guns or artillery were generally used to deal with alien armadillos. , bombs and other powerful weapons.
If the firearms in the hands of ordinary soldiers want to hurt them, the only way is to get under the belly of the exotic armadillo and fire at their belly that is not protected by scales.
However, the success rate of doing so is extremely low. In order to protect the weakness of the abdomen, the alien armadillo crawls close to the ground... Even if someone can really squeeze under the belly of the alien armadillo and beat it to death, he will still die. The carcass of an exotic armadillo was crushed to death - an adult alien armadillo with a body length of ten meters weighs several times that of an Asian elephant, not to mention the heavy metal scales.
The situation is not optimistic for the advance team. After the distribution of weapons was completed, perhaps because the Fool's marksmanship was better, the only m14ebr precision marksman rifle in the box was assigned to Ke Lan. Also assigned to him was another one that was basically lethal to indigenous creatures. The ignored nine-millimeter Glock pistol.
Being able to obtain a precision marksman rifle naturally means that Ke Lan and his group are classified as
In the "Action Group".
The "Garrison Team" stayed behind to set up camp.
The "action team" is responsible for exploring the surrounding area, collecting information and available resources... In addition, they have one more task: hunting.
Jonah asked them to capture at least one indigenous creature of Alpha Planet and hand it over to the team's biologists for dissection - understanding the characteristics of this creature is secondary, and the most important thing is to find out whether it... can be eaten.
The action team is composed of two fully staffed rotations, no more, no less, exactly ten people. The leaders are Lu Dan and the Chinese character face. Each of them carries a 7.62 mm caliber general-purpose machine gun, including Ke Lan. With the m14ebr in it, there are only three weapons in the action group that can penetrate the scale armor of the alien armadillo.
"We've walked almost three kilometers." Luodan looked back at the shuttle in the distance.
"The surrounding situation is clearly visible. Prey, resources... nothing can be seen. In my opinion, if you want to gain something, you have to go there." Luodan pointed to the hilly area in the distance, where is the west The edge of the Cliff Desert seemed not far away, but it was actually dozens of kilometers away from their current location.
Guozixian also sighed and said: "I just had people analyze the ingredients of those shrubs. They are all highly poisonous and cannot be used as food." The only living creatures that can be seen in the desert, besides themselves, are some overgrown trees. The low bushes of thorns are all grey-brown and look like they are dead.
An advance team member squatted down, cut off a small branch, and put it into the reagent bottle. The reagent in the bottle immediately turned into color.
Although Ke Lan didn't know what that color meant, he knew it was dangerous at first sight - the colorful and bright colors were like knocking over an art student's palette.
Ke Lan really wanted to tell them that there were actually many indigenous creatures living in this desert... According to Ark's statistics, between 900 and 905 of the New Era, there were at least more than 100,000 exotic armadillos living in the West Cliff Desert.
It's just that this kind of cave-dwelling creature basically lives in underground caves during the day, and only comes out of the ground to look for food at night.
The previously dispatched drones were all shooting at high altitudes, and the signals were intermittent. It is completely normal that they failed to capture any signs of the alien armadillo's activities.
What's more, alien armadillos also have another characteristic. They know how to bury the holes they dug and erase the traces of their movements on the ground... Because of this, the members of the advance team never imagined that underneath this desert , there is an intricate network of caves.
"It's probably useless even if I say it." Ke Lan thought to himself,
"There is no need to consider whether they will believe my words... As long as it involves information that 'should not be known', they will probably turn a deaf ear... After all, I am just a bystander and cannot change this period of history." Action Team 1 After walking for almost six kilometers, they encountered their first attack - an exotic armadillo suddenly emerged from the ground. Two members of the advance team who were caught off guard fell directly into the cave entrance, and there was a tragic sound. He didn't even have time to call out.
Another person was torn in half by the alien armadillo's claws. Warm blood rain fell from the air, staining the white protective clothing of the people around them red.
铓
"What?!" Luo Dan immediately took a dozen steps back, raised his machine gun and fired at the exotic armadillo.
The team doctor went around to the side and used the submachine gun in his hand to attack at close range. The moment the exotic armadillo emerged from the ground, there was a rare opportunity to attack its weak point on the abdomen. But just when Ke Lan raised his gun to aim, he felt a strange dizziness in his head, and his finger on the trigger It also seemed to be petrified and could not be suppressed no matter what.
After the dizziness disappeared and his fingers returned to normal, the exotic armadillo that emerged from the cave had already laid down. Ke Lan
The "delayed" shot finally hit the scales on its back.
"Fuck..." Although Ke Lan knew that this was because in his original memory, the Fool failed to hit the Alien Armadillo's weakness, which caused the abnormality just now, he still couldn't help but cursed.
This feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable. The two machine guns, Guozi Lian and Lu Dan, are at an angle of 45 degrees, suppressing the alien armadillos with fire from two directions - the 7.62mm full-power bullet can indeed cause fatal damage to the alien armadillos, but it is not One or two shots can be fatal.
They can only penetrate the scales of the alien armadillo. As for this behemoth to fall, they still need to accumulate enough damage.
In game terms, the weapon's attack power reaches the boss's armor-breaking line, but the boss's long health bar still needs to be worn down little by little.
铓【.Before finishing, I plan to use this memory fragment to narrate some of the plot when the Ark just landed on Alpha Star. I don't know if you are interested in this part of the content.
If you're interested, I'll write it in more detail. If you're not interested, I'll explain everything that needs to be done about the main plot and then get back to the main story and resolve it quickly.
As for other stories, they can be written in extra chapters in the future. What do you think? 】
