Chapter 431: Feelings
"The other party's attitude is very indifferent, and he doesn't want to talk to me too much, and he looks at people like..."
In Charles's room, Woods paused and whispered, "It's like looking at a dead man again, I'm familiar with this kind of gaze, the first time I went on an adventure, the leader of the expedition was my father, and it was an expedition to conquer Mount Everest." There were two photographers who had to go halfway to take pictures, and my father watched them leave with the same look he looked at them, and I was 19 years old at the time, and I was very impressed. ”
"And then?" Charles was eating in his room, a pot of mushroom soup with meat foam, two slices of bread smeared with foie gras, simple but not simple.
"Then there was no follow-up, I never heard from them again, and on Mount Everest, no news was the most terrible news." As Woods said this, Charles's hand holding the bread stopped, his eyes tingling with thought.
Charles was born in 1942, in the middle of World War II, when the United States was emerging from the Great Depression.
He worked as a newsboy when he was a child, polished people's shoes, and after going through the wind and rain, he started from scratch and used 40 years to get to where he is today.
Every business tycoon has a different fate and the same talent, that is, they will look at the degree and can see things that ordinary people can't see.
Some say it's a business opportunity, some say it's the trajectory of fate, and some say it's the difference between a tycoon and an ordinary person.
Charles, too, put the bread in his mouth and looked like he was chewing his food, but he was actually thinking about it.
The last time he thought this way was 15 years ago, when he was thinking about his successor.
Ten minutes later, after the two pieces of bread were eaten, Charles took a sip of hot soup and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue: "Contact the headquarters, let the headquarters notify the Blackwater Company, and ask them to send a hundred-person combat team over, I will see them tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Blackwater Company, 100-man combat team, is this necessary?" Woods was taken aback, Blackwater was known for its mercenaries, and the strength of hundreds of people gathered together was enough to subvert a small South African country.
"2,800 years ago, the pyramid with new energy represented self-evident. I made the mistake of thinking of this operation as a trip to the discovery of the New World, or rather an archaeological activity. Now that I think about it, it's not that simple, what if the pyramid is really left by a prehistoric civilization, and there is danger inside? ”
Charles threw away his handkerchief and said in a deep voice: "What I have is money, and the problems that can be solved by spending money are not problems for me, so be prepared." ”
For this Antarctica expedition, Charles brought a total of 50 people, including 20 engineers from the engineering team, 15 security personnel, 8 experts and scholars, plus 2 doctors, a tour guide, a captain, a team leader explorer, and himself and his assistant Max.
Among these people, the captain and 3 engineers, 1 doctor, and 5 security personnel stayed on the ship to take care of the response, and the remaining 40 people are here.
A team of 40 people is enough to explore the remains of the pyramids, but in the face of danger, there are only 10 combatants who can actually fight, and on average each of them has to protect three people, and the armed forces are stretched.
At this time, Wang Xu didn't know that his lack of expression was already the biggest hint for this legendary tycoon.
Soon, a set of signals was sent from the radar vehicle of the whaling station, and after the satellite turnover in space, it was dropped on the Weeland Industrial Group in Florida.
After a night of silence, the butterfly's wings have been stirred, bringing about change, but also unchanged.
The next day, Wang Xu was woken up from his sleep by a sudden voice.
Hearing the sound from outside, he sat up from the bed suddenly, reached out and grabbed it to the side, and the alloy war knife was immediately in his hands.
With the knife in his hand, Wang Xu, who did not undress and fell asleep, rushed out like an arrow from the string.
When he got outside, he was the first to come out, only to see two security guards standing on the tower, raising their hands and pointing north.
Following the gesture, I looked up, and there was a hole about three meters in diameter twenty or thirty meters north of the camp, which stretched all the way down and didn't know where.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Xu's speed is the fastest, and the others are not slow.
With the shouting, many people rushed out with weapons, and even Charles, as the big boss, walked out with a revolver.
"I was standing guard just now, and when I looked back, there was suddenly a big hole in the ground. I swear, I looked there a few seconds ago, there was nothing at all, and in the blink of an eye this hole appeared! The security guard at the sentry pointed to the big hole with a shocked expression.
Max rushed over with the security personnel and shone a flashlight inside, and the hole in the ground extended downward at a 30-degree angle, bottomless, black like an entrance to hell.
"Perfect 30 degree angle, we measured this position, and from this angle you can go down just enough to reach the entrance of the pyramid. According to the calculations of our engineering team, it will take at least 3 days to build such a hole, but I don't know if this hole has been opened. An engineer from the engineering team said as he stood in front of the cave.
"Got through!" It was Charles, who was talking, with a laptop in his hand, and everyone leaned up to see that it was a thermal image taken by a satellite.
In the thermal image, the pyramid buried in the ground is vividly displayed on it.
Beyond the pyramid, there is something like a passage, which extends from the surface to the pyramid, which is obviously the passage in front of you.
"It's a miracle, when we finished work last night, there was nothing here, and if the people on duty hadn't lied, this hole could have appeared out of nowhere." The engineer measured the hole in the ground, and kept saying the word miracle in his mouth.
For engineers, this is an engineering miracle, and with the existing technology, the amount of work that would take at least 3 days to complete is done in the blink of an eye.
But for Charles, it's not a miracle, but...
"Terrible!" Charles stroked the exterior of the cave and whispered: "From the surface to the entrance of the pyramid, according to calculations, no more or no less is exactly 618 meters, what weapon can break the 618-meter frozen Antarctic continent in an instant, and open up such a hole with a diameter of 3.3 meters and a length of 618 meters?" What's more, we were in the room just now, and we didn't hear any movement at all, which was unbelievable! ”
Wang Xu, who was standing on the side, was actually more touched than Charles.
Charles They are just ordinary people, and it is normal not to feel the tremor of the earth, but he also does not feel it, which is abnormal.
You must know that the location where this hole appeared was less than thirty meters away from his room, and the entire area was under his senses.
But he didn't find anything, and if it weren't for the guards shouting, he wouldn't even know there was a hole in the ground.
"It's amazing, it instantly penetrates more than 600 meters of icy soil, and it is rare that it does not cause the slightest vibration, and it is exactly connected to the entrance of the pyramid, which shows that this weapon has good and reliable handling, and it can be penetrated as much as it says, without a millimeter of error."
Unlike the yelling expeditions, Wang Xu knew that the only person who used this weapon could only be the Predator spaceship in the universe.
Looking at the leopard in the tube, judging from this simple energy strike, the Predator's technology must be extremely developed.
Otherwise, twenty or thirty meters away was the human quarters, and if they did not have extreme confidence in this weapon, they would not have been able to fire at such a close distance.
As we all know, the more powerful a human weapon is, the wider the scope of its impact.
To be able to overcome this kind of range killing, in order to concentrate energy on one point, the pursuit of greater point-breaking surface lethality, the predator's technological level, not to mention compared with the humans on the earth, even the man in black in the black super special police has not mastered this energy weapon.
"According to the division of the man in black, the strength of this energy beam strike has reached at least C-level, that is, the power to destroy a building with one blow. Moreover, the Predator obviously still has the strength to spare, if the battleship is allowed to fire with all its might, I am afraid that the earth will not be able to withstand this energy weapon, and will be hit through the planet with a single blow, thus losing its own gravity and collapsing. Wang Xu did not panic on his face, but with a slight smile.
The more powerful the Predators, the greater their value and the greater their help to Wang Xu.
With the god of the old days, the idol given to him by Iapetus in his hand, Wang Xu has the confidence to talk to the Predator on an equal footing, and he is not afraid that the Predator will slice him and study him.
"You don't seem to be panicking at all?" Wang Xu's smiling expression still fell into the eyes of those who cared.
Hearing the whispers coming from beside him, Wang Xu looked back and said nonchalantly: "Human beings are not afraid of things they are familiar with, don't you say, Ms. Woods?" ”
"Do you know who did this?" Woods felt like a student cheating on an exam, desperate to know the answer.
Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I have no comment." ”
"You—" said without comment, and Woods was furious.
She instinctively glanced at the security personnel around her, and at this moment Henry and these people were all holding weapons around the cave, as if as long as she gave an order, she could arrest this mysterious person, and she could ask whatever she wanted.
As soon as this idea appeared, it stuck to his heart like glue, and Woods wanted to say that it was fake if he didn't have a heartbeat.
However, before she turned her heart into action, she saw the banter in Wang Xu's eyes, and even she didn't know why, so she actually suppressed it, wanting to arrest this person and ask him, and then said in a deep voice: "Whatever, I don't want to know yet." ”
"Hehe, interesting!" Seeing that Woods suddenly changed his attitude, Wang Xu became interested in the heroine.
What made Woods change his mind, and was it his fate in the dark?
Of the forty or fifty members of the expedition, only Woods survived to the end of the play, could it be that her combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the security personnel.
No, she's not strong, but she always makes the right decisions at the right time.
As a result, the rest of the expedition died, and the Aliens and Predators died as well, and only the heroine Woods survived in the end, which is obviously not accidental.
"Woods, go with your heart, follow your feelings, and let me see how far you can go."
"What?"
Listening to Wang Xu's words, Woods was a little inexplicable.
Wang Xu tilted his head to look at her, tapped his chest with his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't reject the feelings in your heart, otherwise you will die a miserable death, don't forget this sentence, this is my advice to you." ”
