Birmingham, Alabama, this Birmingham obviously has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, but belongs to one of the largest cities in the southeastern United States, the largest city in Alabama, the largest industrial city, and the headquarters of the Wieland Towngoku Group.

A luxurious motorcade drove into a luxury estate belonging to the Wieland family on the outskirts of Birmingham, and soon Meredith Vickers got out of one of the luxury cars and entered the main building of the estate, which was also her home.

When the attendants in the main building saw the hostess coming back in a rage, they all retreated to both sides and saluted respectfully, for fear of arousing the anger of the hot-tempered hostess.

Soon, after receiving the news of the return of the hostess, the housekeeper of the manor, who is also the former owner of the manor, the grandfather of Vickers, the old Wieland, the biochemical robot David created by Peter Wieland, greeted him with a group of servants.

"Ma'am......" As soon as David spoke, Vickers threw the expensive and luxurious leather bag in his hand directly in his face, but as a robot, he was very agile and caught it firmly when the bag was about to hit his face.

"Where is he?" Vickers asked angrily.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't understand what you mean!" David made a look of not knowing what you were talking about, so to speak, David's vivid expression was completely beyond what a normal robot should have.

"Where is my grandfather, Peter Wieland?" Vickers gritted her teeth and asked, seeing David's seemingly innocent expression, she didn't know why she felt particularly angry, and she had an urge to throw the other party directly into the incinerator.

"Ma'am, if you miss sir, you can go to Hillbrook (a borough on the outskirts of Birmingham) cemetery!" David resumed.

"Still lying to me! You've broken the robot rules, maybe I should send you to a recycling center! Vickers said with a sneer.

"Wait a minute, ma'am!" Hearing Vickers' threat, David paused for a few seconds before speaking, then turned around and walked upstairs...... However, no one noticed that when David turned around, a flash of emotion called "anger" flashed in his eyes that should not have appeared on the robot at all.

"Ma'am, I've got the plane ready, Mr. Wieland is waiting for you in Florida!" Ten minutes later, just as Vickers was waiting a little anxiously, David went downstairs and said to her.

A few hours later, under the leadership of David, Vickers met Peter Wieland in Florida, who was basking in the sun but had "died" in the outside world.

"You're hiding it from me! My beloved grandfather! Seeing Peter Wieland basking in the sun under the servants' service, Vickers almost gritted his teeth and said, "Why! ”

"It's simple, because your last name is Vickers, not Wieland, and you're a girl!" In the face of Vickers's questioning, Wieland said slowly and indifferently.

That's right, Vickers is not Wieland's granddaughter, but his granddaughter, which is also the reason why the surnames of the two are different, and this kind of thing is not to think that patriarchy only exists in Eastern thinking.

"Are gender and surname so important?" Hearing Wieland's words, Vickers roared hysterically in the future.

"Of course, the Wieland Group is called Wieland because of us, if the owner is not surnamed Wieland, can it still be called Wieland?" In the face of Vickers's anger, Wieland didn't think so at all, "What's more, Wieland Group has been given more important responsibilities by God, and now you are too young." ”

"Responsibility? What responsibility? Hearing Wieland's words, Vickers was a little puzzled.

"How did you know I wasn't dead?" Wieland didn't answer Vickers's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Chris Osborne, he said he wanted to work with the Osborne Group, unless you go and talk to him personally!" Wix said without hesitation.

"Sure enough, it's him, I really envy Norman, he actually gave birth to such a good son!" Hearing Chris's name, Wieland couldn't help but sigh with a long sigh.

And in the face of Wieland's sighs, Vickers's heart was even more angry, and the damn old immortal almost said directly why he didn't have a son...... Hmph, the old immortal deserves to be cut off.

"Actually, you don't have to be so angry" Just as Vickers was secretly cursing Wieland, Wieland suddenly said, "I'll take you to a place, and you'll understand why all this is." ”

So in Vickers's full of suspicion, Wieland quickly took her to a chemical plant hidden in Florida and belonging to the Wieland Group...... However, what made Vickers very indignant was that she didn't know that there was such a secret chemical factory under the Wieland Group, and as the nominal leader of the group, she didn't know anything about its industry, which had to be said to be ironic.

The chemical plant was built on the site of a hydroelectric power station on a small river, and there was no one for hundreds of miles except for this plant, and after entering this seemingly unremarkable factory, Vickers quickly discovered that something was unusual...... Although it looked ordinary on the surface, the internal security was many times stricter than some of the military bases she had visited.

Led by Wieland and his men, they walked into the office of the small power station next to the factory.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Wieland!" Seeing Wieland bringing someone here, the two electrical workers in the office immediately stood up to greet him, and the perceptive Vickers could immediately conclude that these two people were definitely not electrical workers, but more like soldiers.

"Send us down!" Wieland waved his hand and said bluntly.

"Yes, sir!" Under Wieland's order, the two power workers walked to the side and began to operate the instrument panel, which looked no different from a normal power station, and then Vickers felt a tremor, and she realized that the whole room was actually an elevator, and began to descend downward.

When the elevator stopped, and the door reopened, a new world unfolded in front of Vickers.

"Oh God...... What the hell are those things? Vickers exclaimed as he looked at the row of display cases not far away.

"The sword of Damocles on the head of man! Come with me! Wieland replied.

"Mr. Wieland, Ms. Vickers, I'm Sean Keith!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat walked over.

"Hey, Dr. Sean, tell her about the Predator!" Wieland nodded to the other party, and then said.

"Oh, of course, we call them Predators because they track their prey, look for their weaknesses, and kill them with one hit, and they enjoy the hunt so much!" Dr. Sean nodded, then pointed to the items in the display cabinet and introduced to Vickers, yes, the contents of these warrior cabinets are all from the Predators, that is, some of the items left on Earth by the Bradat civilization.

"They're aliens? And according to you, they are not like warriors, but more like hunters! Vickers said.

"Yes, they're aliens, but we don't know where they came from, why they came from, they have extremely powerful technology, but they retain such strange hunting customs, and why they're called Predators, just because it sounds cool," Dr. Sean explained in response to Vickers' questions.

"In Antarctica, the stand-in that killed me, and the things that have been on the expedition, this is the kind of thing!" Wieland said at this time.

"Well, then father, what are you telling me all this about? Do you want revenge? Or do we humans live under the threat of aliens all the time? But what does this have to do with your suspended animation? What's more, it's no secret that there are aliens on Earth! After listening to the explanation, Vickers asked Wieland.

"For unknown threats, of course, it is necessary to eliminate them before they break out." Wieland replied.

"Elimination? Rely on us? What are you kidding, it's better to rely on Overwatch or the UED government! Vickers smirked.

"Overwatch? A group of housekeepers with high-tech but no idea how to use it properly, UED? It's not as reliable as Chris Osborne, but unfortunately, Chris Osborne has taken the wrong path, and cooperating with aliens will not end well. Wieland said coldly.

"Hehe, so respectful grandfather, then what do you think? Or can you save the world with the power that you can take down a cow with one punch? Hearing Wieland's words, Vickers looked at Wieland, who was dying and old, and almost needed help to walk, and sneered and mocked.

"Don't talk to me in this tone, how can I say that I am also your grandfather, yes, I really don't have that kind of power, but some people do, come with me!" Wieland snorted coldly, and continued to walk deeper into the base.

After walking a distance, Vickers found that he had arrived in another place, if the previous place was a well-equipped high-tech comprehensive laboratory, now the place he came to is like an ancient museum.

"Dr. Shaw, Dr. Holloway, are you there?" At Wieland's motion, David, who had been holding him, shouted inside.

"Yes, we're here!" Soon, a group of young men and women came out of the corner with dirty appearance, which made Vickers frown.

"These two are Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and Dr. Charlie Holloway, Shaw, Holloway, this is my granddaughter, and you can tell him about the 'Engineer.'" Wieland said hello to the two.

"Okay Mr. Wieland, Ms. Vickers, yes, Shaw and I are both archaeologists, and we have found a very similar, even identical, mural in ancient civilizations all over the world, and the oldest one is that we recently found in a cave in the north of Scotland, which is at least 35,000 years old, and according to the comparison of some space images released by Osborne Aerospace many times, we found that the image on this mural is actually a star map of a planetary system. This planetary system is located about 40 light-years from the Earth, so it is difficult to observe, until now, except for Osborne Spaceflight, which has released space images of this galaxy, no country or institution has discovered it, and obviously these ancient civilizations on Earth are even less discoverable, but they know about the existence of this galaxy, and they painted it on the mural, and according to the short legs, this galaxy has a star very similar to the sun, and a satellite of a planet that is extremely suitable for life. Holloway began to introduce Wieland after he had finished speaking.

"So what? What does this mean? Vickers chuckled, "Could it be that because of such a picture you found in the cave, you want us to find a way to go to a place forty light-years away to see what is going on?" ”

"It's not just a picture, it's an invitation!" Hearing Vickers' unceremonious ridicule, Elizabeth Shaw on the side immediately argued.

"Invite? Whose invitation? Vickers was a little confused.

"We call them 'Engineers'!" Elizabeth Shaw explained.

"Engineer? What works? Vickers asked rhetorically.

"Life on this planet may also be the advanced species that created our humans!" Elizabeth Shaw said mysteriously.

"! You have no evidence to support your theory, and you are dismissing the three-century-old Darwinian theory of evolution as nothing! At this moment, following the others, Sean Keith, the Predator's head of research, said unhappily.

"That's right, he said, how do you know that we humans were actually created by what you call 'engineers'! You're just an archaeologist, are you just relying on your archaeological findings, which seem almost meaningless to me? Vickers also said with a smile.

"Yes, I don't know, but I choose to believe it!" In the face of doubts, Elizabeth Shaw looked firm, while Wieland and David on the side looked at her with admiration.

Only Vickers and Sean Keith still looked disapproving......

………………………………

"Hahahahaha! Engineer? Creator? A group of exiles were actually thought of as creators by them? I'm laughing to death! In the chairman's office in the Oss company building, Chris slapped his desk and laughed.

Everything happened after Vickers left, all of which were under Chris's surveillance, and all the things and words during that period also appeared in front of Chris afterwards.

After all, Chris still attaches great importance to Wieland's secret base, after all, even he, except for some information obtained from the universe by Chong Yunxiao, does not have many items of the Bradat civilization, and Wieland can have so much, which is really a big surprise to Chris, and it also opened his eyes, as for Elizabeth Shaw and Holloway, Chris didn't pay much attention to it.

But this Vickers experience, especially Elizabeth Shaw's theory, made Chris laugh off his teeth.

"I have to say, Wieland is really old and confused, how can he believe the theories of two archaeologists so one-sidedly, and a large part of it is still a woman's intuition? It's ridiculous! As soon as Chris finished complaining, he saw Ariel Hansen, who was sitting opposite him, staring at him, and he hurriedly changed his words, "Well, I'm just referring to this Elizabeth Shaw." But I didn't say anything about you. ”

"Come on, I think this female archaeologist is naïve, but how can you be so sure that this 'engineer' has nothing to do with the birth of humanity, and what do you mean by exile?" Ariel Hansen gave him a blank look, then asked Chris.

"It's very simple, because I know the origin of this so-called 'engineer', and in fact, they do have a lot to do with the earth, they are also natives of the earth, and they can even be called humans." Chris explained.

"Oh? You mean this 'engineer' is actually human? Hearing Chris's words, Ariel Hansen instantly became interested.

"That's right, but it's still very different from our current humans, just like orangutans and monkeys, although genetically similar, they are actually completely different species, I don't know if you have read File 74, which is about four generations of human beings." Chris said.

"File 74? You mean four generations of humanity? The Golden Age was Olympians, the Silver Age was Inhumans, the Bronze Age was Homo sapiens, and the Black Iron Age was the humans of the present? Are you saying these engineers, they're one of them? Ariel Hansen asked, as a biologist, she was still very interested in the strange human history of this world.

"No, in fact they don't belong to any era, if they have to say, they can actually belong to the period when gold and silver intersected, an exception to the ancient civilization of the earth!" Chris shrugged.

"Like Atlantis?" Ariel Hansen immediately answered.

"That's right, like the Atlanteans, they are considered to be the outer branch of human civilization, but Atlante sank and became an undersea race, and this branch began to wander the universe, and they were earlier than Atlantis, in fact, they were a group of hybrid hybrids born during the period of the Olympians and Inhumans" Chris said disdainfully.

"What ????" Hearing Chris's words, Ariel Hansen was visibly surprised.

"Weird, isn't it? In fact, I had a similar expression to you when I first found out, but that's true. Chris shrugged and said, "This civilization is very strange, they are as tall as the Olympians and as intelligent as the Inhumans, but they have not inherited the special abilities of the Olympians and the Inhumans, but like us, they have started a technological civilization, but their technological civilization is really developing too fast, causing panic among the Olympians and Inhumans who were at war at that time, so they were exiled!" Driven out of the solar system. Chris said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Ariel Hansen asked puzzled when he saw what Chris said so conclusively.

"Because Elizabeth Shaw said that the star map was on the route they took to the core region of the galaxy when they rushed into the sky!" Chris shrugged.

"What do you mean...... Is this civilization still there? Ariel Hansen's eyes widened again.

"Yes, it's still there, but it's fair to say, they're pretty miserable!" Chris said.

"Why? According to you, their civilization is very developed, why is it miserable? Ariel Hansen asked curiously.

"Because this civilization is like the umbrella, as well as some humans in the world you live in, playing with biological and chemical weapons!" Chris said as he looked at Ariel Hansen with a somewhat strange look.

"Damn, don't look at me like that!" Hearing Chris's answer, and recalling the experience of his other self in the interstellar world, Ariel Hansen said with some annoyance, and then randomly changed the style, "What kind of biochemical weapons did they make?" ”

"Alien!" Chris pouted.

"Alien? You say they're cultivating aliens? Ariel Hansen was a little incredulous, of course she knew about the aliens, after all, there was a queen under the company building...... Yes, the alien eggs hatched by the alien eggs brought back at the beginning, one of them has grown into a queen, for this ancient creature that is very similar to the recombination, Ariel Hansen is very vigilant and attaches great importance to it, this terrifying creature, if you are not careful, it is really easy to get rid of it.

"That's right, they extracted the genes of the aliens, knew about biological weapons, and then almost played themselves to death, and even had to give up that planet, and it was on that planet that everything they discovered about this civilization." Chris said.

Yes, the order of the alien and the "engineer" civilization is actually reversed, it is not the "engineer" civilization that created the alien, but they extracted genes from the alien and made a biological weapon, and the reason why they came into contact with the alien is naturally because the Bradat people brought the alien to the earth...... In fact, this ancient creature that resembles the Zerg is not much older than this so-called "engineer" civilization, and although their civilization is advanced, it is far from being able to create such an ancient creature as an alien, and even the more advanced Bradat people can't do it.

And they originally wanted to use this genetic weapon to take revenge on the earth, but they didn't want to get rid of it, and they almost didn't play themselves to death.

As for Chong Yunxiao's ability to obtain the information of this civilization so easily, it is mainly due to the fact that Transformers, a silicon-based life form, is not afraid of alien gene infection at all.

To some extent, Transformers can be said to be the natural enemies of almost all carbon-based life, because as long as they use biological weapons, few carbon-based civilizations can withstand it...... Fortunately, Transformers may have never thought about this aspect because their thoughts are relatively "simple", either peaceful or violent.
