Chapter 18: Civilization Restarts
"Why?"
Someone asked.
"Don't worry, the words behind are very obscure, I have to think about it."
After thinking for about half a minute, the language expert slapped his forehead: "I remember, this is the place to be, yes, to belong." ”
"Alright, we need to move on, this is the periphery of the pyramid."
Weyland interrupted the group appropriately.
Then the crowd began to walk in again.
After walking for about ten meters, an intersection appeared on both sides.
"How to get there?"
Weyland looked at the linguist.
Once again, the linguist used his expertise to translate from the frescoes at the two intersections: "Literally, the left leads to the place of sacrifice, and the right leads to the path of honor." ”
"The place of sacrifice is well understood, and it should be a place of sacrifice."
"I don't know the road to honor, can I get honor by walking here?"
Everyone was in trouble for a while, looking at the two intersections at a loss.
As the big boss and the initiator of this Antarctic trip, Weyland said unyieldingly: "Divide into two roads, linguists take people to the sacrificial road to see what is there." ”
"The rest of us will follow me to the Road of Honor, and everyone will keep communicating on the walkie-talkie and keep in touch at any time."
Stomp Tread...
Soon after.
With the sound of footsteps, the surrounding light source distorted.
Wang Tian and the three of them wore armor and appeared in the cave where the pyramid was located.
Didi, Didi...
The wisdom brain in Wang Tian's hands suddenly made a crisp dripping sound.
Looking down, the image of the inside of the pyramid is projected, and in the bottom of the Alien Queen's detention area, a fat Alien Queen is laying eggs.
"They've touched the trap, and the Alien Queen has begun to lay eggs."
Wang Tian put away his wisdom brain and looked at the other two: "We are five minutes later than the stipulated time, and when we enter the inside of the pyramid, I am afraid that the alien has already appeared." ”
"No big deal."
Lionface moved his shoulders: "It's fun to be unexpected, I'm tired of decent killings." ”
"Let's go, go get the weapon."
Lionface said, activating the stealth program again, and gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Wang Tian did not hesitate, there were twenty-eight people in Wei Land's party, which meant that twenty-eight aliens might be born.
There are so many aliens, enough for a group of novices to drink a pot.
Inside the pyramid.
"Is this the place of sacrifice?"
"What's the matter with the bones lying on the stone platform, how is there a big hole in their chest?"
Led by linguists, four security guards and four archaeologists entered the place of sacrifice.
Looking at the bones lying on the stone platform, a female security officer couldn't help but lean forward, looking at the corpse in a very strange way.
"Taking the heart of the sacrificer and serving it to the gods is a sacrificial custom common to many civilizations, and it is not worth the strangeness."
An archaeologist said.
"No, their wound is in the middle of the ribcage, and it's hard to get the heart from that position."
"Behold their ribs, which are open from the inside out."
"It's like something is coming out of them."
The female security guard looked at the remains and did not agree with the archaeologists.
Thundered!!
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the room.
Everyone looked at each other and looked up to find the source of the sound.
The dust on the ceiling was trembling, and just when everyone was a little overwhelmed, a stone door suddenly descended from the entrance of the place of sacrifice.
Rumble!!
The stone gate fell heavily to the ground, causing the pyramids to tremble.
Several security personnel hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that the stone gate was very thick: "This stone gate weighs at least a few tons, and we are afraid that we are trapped here." ”
"Can it be blown up?"
The linguist squatted in front of a stone tablet and frowned, "It says that the stone gate has fallen, the sacrifice has begun, and all those who remain in the place of sacrifice will ascend to heaven, which is not good news." ”
"It can't be blown up, visually, the thickness of this stone gate is more than eighty centimeters, and even if the shock wave of the explosion tears us all apart, we can't help this stone door."
The security guard knocked on the stone wall and sighed, "I can only inform the others that the people in the camp have come down with the cutter." ”
"Hurry up and inform them, I have a bad feeling."
The linguist looked around, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
"You don't have to, this pyramid is abandoned at first sight, and with us, we will protect you."
Several security personnel looked at each other and loaded their rifles.
Click...
As soon as he finished speaking, the altar suddenly opened, and nine strange eggs rose up.
The linguist stared at the freak and asked, "Have you contacted anyone in the camp?" ”
"No, the signal is a little bad, and it may not be received."
The members of the camp were contacting him, shaking the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Strange, the signal is obviously full, why no one answers?" ”
The linguist became more and more flustered, and said, "You better hurry, for according to the sacrificial text, these eggs are called devil's eggs in the mouths of the sacrificers, and we are sacrificed to them." ”
"Professor, don't be so nervous, we'll keep you safe."
The female security guard patted the body of the gun impatiently.
Click...
In the next second, the strange egg suddenly cracked, like a blooming lotus.
Everyone was fascinated, looking at the weirdos one by one, wondering what was in it.
Squeak squeak.
With a mouse-like cry, something that looked like a spider and a bit like a scorpion, dragging a long tail came out of the egg.
"Oh God!"
"What the hell is this?"
Several security personnel whispered and hurriedly raised their rifles.
Whoosh!!
For a while, within the nine strange eggs, each of them had a face-hugging insect flying out.
Before the security personnel could shoot, they flew into their respective faces, and completed the face-hugging parasitism in the first place.
"What sound?"
On the road to honor, Weiland suddenly stopped: "I seem to hear screams. ”
"I think I heard that, too."
Security Captain Xiao Hei anxiously picked up the walkie-talkie: "Werner, Werner, please answer when you hear it!" ”
Quiet.
None of the four security members responded.
Xiao Hei and Wei Land glanced at each other, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"It's a scream, someone is parasitized by an alien."
Inside the passage, the cat's face stopped in his tracks.
"We haven't taken the weapon yet, how can the passage in the sacrificial chamber be opened?"
The lion face was puzzled.
"It may have been done by humans, they took our weapons and activated the mechanism, but we are still one step slower." Wang Tianyu raised the wisdom brain in his hand: "In three minutes at most, the alien will break out of the body, and we will get the weapon within three minutes." ”
Wang Tian said and opened the wisdom brain and turned on the projection in the pyramid.
In the eye, because the mechanism is activated, the passage turns into a wall, and the wall turns into a passage, and the people in the path of honor have been dispersed.
Three pulse shoulder cannons, one on Welander, one for Blackie, and the female guide.
Among them, Weiland and Xiao Hei are in the B1 area, and the female guide is in the B2 area.
"I'll go to B2, Lionface and you and Catface will go to B1."
Wang Tian was the first to act.
Seeing Wang Tian leaving, the lion face and the cat face glanced at each other: "Let's act too." ”
Inside the pyramid.
"Look at the statues on both sides!"
"What's so nice about the statue?"
"Do you see what they have on their shoulders like we took from the sarcophagus?"
"It's very similar, what is this, the weapon of the gods?"
"More precisely, alien weapons, I don't think these statues are gods."
Weyland and his party huddled together, slowly advancing under the protection of security personnel.
This is already the core area of the pyramid.
Statues and murals here show ancient gods fighting a monster with a weapon on their shoulders.
There are murals of gods winning.
There are also murals of monsters winning.
But there is only one outcome, no matter which side wins, in the end, an alien spacecraft will descend and restart the pyramid.
By the way, if the monster wins, the ship will also restart the current civilization.
For example, the Atlantean civilization, the Mayan civilization, and the Aztec civilization all disappeared in the reboot.
