Chapter 56: Alien vs. Predator
Promise's hometown is a small city, and it is basically an unknown representative in the country.
The population here is quite large, and the economy is okay. However, the price is not low. The parents who promised were both workers, and they belonged to the kind of workers who took over the classes of the previous generation. Although the promise's parents also thought about letting the promise take over and continue to work in the unit, but for indescribable reasons, the promise finally chose to go out by himself.
After being reminded by the ring, he also promised that he needed to have a more private residence in his hometown. After all, he has a terrible secret now, and it is a secret that must not be exposed. In order not to cause trouble to his relatives, he promised that he now needed a private space to store his secrets.
Although it is not yet known what the future holds, the promised parents are still alive and will definitely stay at home with them often. And now that I have the ability, I want to make my parents' lives better if I say anything.
The promised hometown economy is average, but the real estate market is very prosperous. There are large and small real estate buildings everywhere, high, medium and low grades. Originally, the promise of working outside the home was possible to buy a house, after all, he couldn't afford to buy even a square meter of his monthly income after deducting the necessary expenses, what else is there to say?
But now the promise is different, and the promise that he has the opportunity to change his destiny is not only rich now, but also has a different mentality.
I mentioned to my parents about buying a house before. The parents were absolutely supportive and offered to help with the money, but promised to let them live but were refused. The promised mother also said that unless she promised to get married and have children, she would not go over to help take care of the children, otherwise she would never leave the place where she had lived for so many years.
Buying a house is going very well, after all, there is nothing in this world that is not going well as long as it is not bad for money. There was no bargaining, and there was no constant bargaining for discounts. promised to come to the best real estate in the city calmly, saying that he wanted to buy the best house, and then went to the scene to see it, and nodded directly without a counteroffer.
The prize money promised in the World Shooting Grand Prix is all laundered money, which is very clean. So he didn't have the slightest hesitation about using it. There is a hill that stretches for dozens of kilometers to the north of the promised hometown city, where the environment is quiet and the air is fresh. A three-storey villa that Xu bought is located in an upscale neighborhood on this side. The security situation here is also very good.
The house is renovated after the purchase, and the promise of no idea about this is just to let the professional decoration company do how to come. The only requirement was to build a secluded and sturdy basement that would be the place where Promise would hide his secrets while he stayed in his homeland.
He promised to give it to his parents after the renovation was completed. And he himself will stay outside for a long time to avoid causing trouble for his parents.
Time flies, and the promise of working out, reading, and studying all day soon awaits the arrival of new tasks. Before you know it, a month has passed.
"Are you sure you don't need to wear Iron Man's armor?" The ring's tone was filled with confusion, "You forgot how dangerous it was when you first appeared on your last mission?" ”
"I want to wear it too." Lying to his parents that he was traveling with his friends, and after learning that it was a female friend, he was quietly stuffed by his mother into an abandoned factory in the suburbs, and after finding a place to hide a lot of weapons and equipment, he promised to start his third mission world, "But there is only so much energy left, I guess I will have to turn off the fire when it starts." I can't take it off when the time comes, so let me take a screwdriver to dismantle it myself? ”
"Okay." The ring is just a saying, "Let's get started." ”
There was a ripple of water beside Promise's side, as if the invisible air was beginning to condense. A white light flashed in this abandoned factory, and the promised figure disappeared in an instant.
"What is this place?" Xu Yu shook his head vigorously, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the dim environment around him and frowned.
It was a small environment, surrounded by steel bulkheads, and a dim yellow wall lamp illuminated everything nearby. Some boxes identified as 'Weeland & Company' were placed nearby. Although his feet were steady, he could still feel the slightest shaking with a keen sense of promise. Taken together, it is very likely that he is now on a ship.
The ring hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Xu had secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This is a big steel ship, which means that this world is a world with human technological civilization. What Promise fears most now is to enter a world similar to the terrifying existence of Monkey King after crossing the time crystal wall.
"The world has been explored and analyzed." Soon, the ring's voice rang out, "You are now in the position of an ocean-going icebreaker, the Bagpipes, which is now sailing on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica, and the destination is Bouvet Island." There's a prison on that island that contains monsters placed by aliens. ”
"Aliens?" Promise's brow immediately furrowed.
"Yes, aliens." The ring continued, "A creature that is incredibly powerful in both monolith and technology. Your mission is to rid the prison of all the monsters. Remember, it's all. ”
"Okay." Xu Promise sighed lightly, "Since there is a ship, then I won't be alone, right?" ”
"There's an adventure party on this ship that will be heading to this prison, and I'll give you a new identity to join it." There was a smile in the ring's voice, "Do it well, this mission is not difficult." ”
"Aliens, and monsters." Xu Promise smiled bitterly, "Is this still called not difficult?" So what is difficult? ”
"For example, the world where the monkey with the heavy iron rod is located?" Ring smiled and said, "I think that world is more difficult. ”
"Difficult?" Xu Promise raised his hand and rubbed his face, "Okay, what is my identity?" ”
"Archaeologist." The ring responded, "You can go and join the expedition now." ”
"Attention all expedition members." As soon as the ring's words fell, the radio voice rang out, "The expedition is about to depart, please get ready." ”
The icebreaker squeezed the ice and made a tooth-aching 'creak~~~' sound, the sky was unusually dark, the weather was cold, and the snow was flying. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the dazzling aurora hung in the sky like a waterfall, making it look like you were in an alien world.
"Hi, Professor Xu." A burly black man looked at the promise who came to the hallway, "Do you want to go out dressed like this?" ”
"Okay." Xu Promise glanced at his shirt, "I want to know where my down jacket is." ”
"Rousseau." The strong black man turned his head to look at a short-haired woman on the side, "Take Professor Xu to change his equipment." ”
As one of the world's top large companies, the strength of Weeland is undoubted. Xu Xing, who had changed into winter field clothes, looked at the many professionals and a large number of high-tech equipment around him, and nodded slightly. After thinking about it, he promised to start a survey around and find some useful equipment, such as firearms.
In the modern civilized world, firearms are perhaps the most relied upon weapons by human beings. It stands to reason that there will be such a ship on board, but the promise will not be found. In desperation, Promise was unwilling to go into danger unarmed, so he hurriedly gathered some food, water, and a few handfuls of steel drills in the storage space in case of emergency.
Because items from different worlds can't pass through the Time Wall without the help of a ring, the only thing left in the promised storage space is the chest containing the Iron Man armor. I didn't know what would happen to me when I entered that prison, so I had to prepare myself as much as I could. He even had an extra set of down jackets as a backup.
The ship's radio sounded again, and the promise mixed in with the crowd of expedition members ready to set off.
At the same time, in the orbit of the moon hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in distant space. A massive stealth spaceship is slowly leaving the lunar orbit and heading towards the blue planet in the distance.
Snowflakes as big as real goose feathers fell one after another, and many tracked snowmobiles rumbled with the members of many expeditions towards their goals. It's spectacular just from the scene.
Traveling with Xu was the leader of the expedition, a black woman with a lot of experience, Alyssa. Woods. In addition, there is an expert in Mayan cultural archaeology, Sebastian . Professor Rosa.
"Xu, do you think this pyramid will be able to uncover the secrets of ancient human civilization?" Professor Rosa was visibly excited, watching the Cambodian cultural expert next to him quickly ask aloud.
"It should be possible." Xu Promise is also a little blind, he was assigned by the ring to be an expert in Cambodian culture, but in fact, he really doesn't know anything about Cambodian culture. He didn't even know exactly where Cambodia was!
"Professor Xu may not be well adapted to the climate here." Woods, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "This is normal, because the rapid changes in the environment and temperature will cause some inexplicable effects on the human body. However, after a period of adaptation, it will quickly return to its best condition. ”
"Well, that's how it should be." Xu Promise smiled, "I think I'll get better when I take a break." ”
Promise leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. I heard Woods and Rosa start flirting with each other, and even start reciting love poems in Italian. Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, he promised that he knew that many people would definitely die after entering that prison this time.
Promise never considered himself a Virgin, nor did he have the heart and ability to be a Virgin. But if possible, he will save the lives of these people as much as possible, although there is no friendship, and even promises are not from this world. But as human beings, there is no shame in helping each other in times of difficulty.
After sleeping in a daze for a while, Xu suddenly felt the snowmobile stop. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of solemn bright colors, and the story officially began!
