Chapter 427: Alien vs. Predator
Heavily in debt, Magiel eventually sells his shop, a difficult but necessary decision.
Wang Xu chose to buy at a premium, and now the price of Diagon Alley has recovered to the level before Voldemort came to power, and because of the rise in prices during this time, the average store price has increased by more than sixty percent.
This is not because Wang Xu wants to be the wrongdoer, but because he wants to give a suitable price and let Magie stay to help him.
Maggill agreed, he had been dealing with potions all his life, and selling the shop was a last resort, not wanting to really leave the potions realm.
Wang Xu directly appointed Magim as the CEO of Wang and Granger's Potions Store, assisting Hermione in managing the store.
At the same time, he also helped Hermione actively build momentum, allowing her to organize gatherings of high-level people, actively sponsoring the Ministry of Magic, liaising with the Muggle Council, and paving the way for the Ministry of Magic to take power after graduation.
In fact, for Wang Xu, it doesn't matter whether Hermione can become the Minister of Magic or not, and his support is completely respectful of Hermione's own wishes.
After all, Hermione was only in the sixth year now, and there was still a seventh year to go to, so it would be ten years before she became the Minister of Magic.
What will it look like ten years later, Wang Xu himself doesn't know, it's just an idle move.
Time flies, Wang Xu shuttles between the world of reality and magic, waiting for the opening of the next world with peace of mind.
For the real world, Wang Xu has already seen it.
How is the world of Breaking Bad, what about being an NPC, life should be lived, and no one will hang themselves.
Teach the little apprentice to practice martial arts during the day, hook up with Hermione at night, and it's another month in the blink of an eye.
... Plane 17...
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, but reckless.
This is a poem describing the scenery of the northern country, Wang Xu thinks about it, put it in his current situation, this poem is too appropriate for the occasion.
In front of you is endless ice and snow, the cold wind is howling, the cold wind is blowing on your face like a knife, and a few penguins are playing in the distance, which is the only life on this ice and snow continent.
"Penguins?" Seeing this group of cute creatures, Wang Xu guessed that his location should be Antarctica, and judging from the temperature of minus 60 to 70 degrees, it is still the center of Antarctica.
Wearing mountaineering boots on his feet and a warm jacket, Wang Xu walked aimlessly on the glacier.
The shuttle door has a feature, basically the location where the door is opened, it will not be too far from the place where the plot takes place, which is common sense obtained after more than a dozen crossings.
Wang Xu feels that this time will be no exception, this continent covered with ice and snow all year round is likely to be the place where the plot takes place.
It's just that he can't think of any movie or TV series at the moment, after all, Antarctica is inaccessible, and there aren't many movies centered on it.
With a backpack on his back and a cane, Wang Xu went away under the eyes of the penguins.
I don't know how long it took me, but it took about 40 minutes.
Just when Wang Xu was wondering if he was in the wrong position, a low-lying valley appeared in front of him, and there was an abandoned Antarctic whaling station.
From the space ring, he took out a telescope, and Wang Xu stood on the valley, looking at the whaling station below.
The whaling station looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, with heavy snow covering everything, there are no footprints on the ground at all, and there is no sign of human life.
Retracting the telescope, Wang Xu stood on the edge and looked down, about thirty or forty meters high, so his light skills were not a problem at all.
Sou!!
A little under his feet, Wang Xu pounced out like a wild goose, his feet stepped on the air again and again, every step could ripple in the air, and he landed in front of the whaling station in a blink of an eye.
"Antarctic whaling station, built in 1904, in charge of Captain Leo!" There is a sign outside the whaling station with the flag of the American empire painted on it, and the name of the person in charge of the whaling station.
Wang Xu looked around, this valley was well chosen, facing away from the Antarctic wind, even if it had been abandoned for so long, the snow on the ground was only less than half a meter, if it was placed on the valley, it would have been covered by a blizzard.
Retracting his gaze, Wang Xu walked forward, bypassed a whale skeleton, and saw two rows of huts built by whalers.
Pushing open the door of a house, Wang Xu took a flashlight and shone it inside, which was an office, the table was covered with dust, and a group photo hung on the wall.
There are a total of eighteen people in the group photo, standing in front of a whale that has been pulled ashore, looking at the person who should be the whaling station.
Walking in with a flashlight, Wang Xu looked for clues.
Nothing else was inconspicuous, the only thing that interested him was an open safe in the corner.
Inside the safe was cash, bills, two pistol holsters, and a box of ammunition.
There was nothing in the holster, the weapon had been taken, along with more than two dozen rounds of ammunition.
Wang Xu squatted down and flipped through it, no one moved the dollar, but simply took away the weapon, obviously the abandoned whaling station was not abandoned by the initiative, but encountered danger.
The people at the whaling station, most likely armed to resist the danger, never returned.
In order to verify his idea, Wang Xu went to a few more rooms.
In the staff quarters, he saw burnt charcoal, a diary with the date of March 10, 1904, and a bed covered with quilts.
Above the bed, there were obviously a few nails nailed, and Wang Xu guessed that there were either clothes hanging here or shotguns, and now they were all gone.
Leaving the dormitory and walking inside, Wang Xu saw the grocery room, the storage room, the mechanical maintenance workshop, the oil depot, and the most important kitchen.
The kitchen was very messy, and Wang Xu saw diced dried potatoes, a half-drunk bottle of vodka, and a tietong placed on a kerosene lamp on the cutting board.
The inside of the iron bucket was very clean, Wang Xu looked inside, there was only one air-dried sea fish, and there was some frozen water.
Connecting from the things around him, Wang Xu quickly thought of a picture.
It may be noon, or at night, and some of the people at the whaling station are sleeping, some are cooking, some are drinking and chatting together.
Suddenly, they spotted the enemy, took their weapons, and never returned.
Then the question arises, who is the enemy, wild animals, impossible, Antarctic snow wolves only survive on the periphery of Antarctica, they became extinct in 1857. Moreover, the climate here was too cold for the snow wolves to survive, let alone destroy a heavily armed whaling party of 18 in 1900.
Could it be that it is a peer, it is a human being?
It doesn't look like it, if humans kill these whalers, it is impossible to let go of the finances in the safe.
Wang Xu looked at it just now, there were at least a few thousand dollars in it, in 1904, when a worker's daily salary was 2 US dollars, it was at least equivalent to millions today, no one could refuse so much money, unless the two parties fought a fight, there were no survivors at all, and everyone died here.
"The place where the shuttle door opens, it's not far from here, this should be the place where the plot takes place, let me find out what this place is." Wang Xu took out his special mobile phone and began to look for answers from the database.
Search Keywords, Antarctica, 1904, abandoned whaling station, movie, valley under snow and ice.
Soon, a series of messages were refreshed on Wang Xu's mobile phone, and Wang Xu immediately locked his eyes on a movie ...... "Alien vs. Predator"
Billionaire Charles, the chairman of an energy company, one day in 2004, he used his thermal imaging exploration satellite to find that 800 meters below the Antarctic glacier, there is an ancient pyramid-shaped temple, exuding strong thermal induction.
In order to verify his findings, and to explore how the pyramids emit heat, Charles assembled an elite team to go to Antarctica, kicking off the Aliens and Predators.
"Alien vs. Predator!" Wang Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky outside.
At the same time, Jupiter, a stealth spaceship...
"This human, how can he be here, he is not the one we have chosen!"
"I don't know, he looks strong, and I'd like to collect his skull."
"For this coming-of-age ceremony, I'm going to hunt ten aliens, no, twenty..."
On the spaceship, a three-dimensional image appeared with a young man looking up at the sky.
On both sides of the picture, three strange men with a height of 2.5 meters and wearing armor and masks are sitting, pointing at the three images.
