Chapter 430: Indifference
"Wechton, Paul, Hill, Anderson, Davis, you five stay behind to protect the panel. Henry, Bryanna, Salmon, Powa, Cod, you five come with me, we're going down to see our new friends. ”
Woods greeted him, and ten men in snow camouflage uniforms and armed with guns walked down.
They are the security guards of the Weeland industry and the personal bodyguards of the billionaire Charles, and each of them has a fairly classic resume, some from the Navy SEALs, some from the Delta Force, and some from the International Mercenary Corps.
However, these fighters have the lowest status among the three parties, in addition to the boss Charles, they also have to accept the command of the explorer, and in non-combat situations, they even have to act as logistics personnel to cook for the life of the expert group, which is the so-called mind commanding limbs, and the hands are never as good as the brains.
"Mr. Charles, the firelight means that this place is being looked upon by another group of people besides us. At the moment, we can't tell whether the people below are friend or foe, whether they are hostile to us or not, and I want you to stay up in the valley and let me lead the team to talk to those people. ”
Woods, with five combatants, found Charles, who didn't look good.
"No, I'm going down in person!" Charles raised his head slightly, he was already terminally ill, no matter what, he would not miss this opportunity to leave a name in history, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who they are, the first person to enter the pyramid must be me, this time I am determined to win!" ”
With that, Charles gave the security guard a look, and soon someone pulled the zipline out of the car, secured one end to the snow plow, and threw the other end into the valley.
Sou!!
Two security personnel, with guns on their backs, descended quickly down the zipline, and after a few seconds, landed firmly on the ground.
After falling, the two of them looked around and looked up the valley to make a safe move.
Immediately afterwards, three more combatants descended, and five men formed a combat team and surrounded the lit room with guns in hand.
Because it was night and it was still snowing, the visibility of the line of sight was not high.
The group of five covered each other, chasing the light in the wind and snow, and after a short rapid run, the two leaned against the side of the door, the two squatted on the ground and raised their guns at the door, and the remaining one raised his foot without hesitation.
"If you kick my door, I'll punch your head in your crotch!" Before Henry could kick the door open, a whisper rang out in the room.
Hearing this, Henry and his companion glanced at each other, both with questions in their eyes.
When they came, it was already determined that there was no surveillance equipment outside the door, how did the other party know that they were coming.
Crunch...
The door opened, and the cold air poured in.
A young man in his twenties, with an expressionless face, appeared in the sight of the five.
Crash!!
The five combatants unanimously raised their guns and rushed inside around Wang Xu.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, he didn't like people who were not polite, and these villains who entered the house without his permission were also not on the welcome list.
But when I think about it, what is the strength of the dead?
There is one person here, all of them are sacrifices of predators and aliens, or watch him rise a tall building, watch him feast guests, and watch his building collapse.
"There's only one person here, you two go to the other rooms and take a look, and Cod and Powa take cover." Henry was at the level of squad leader, and quickly gave orders to the other four.
The four team members walked out with their weapons in hand, and Henry himself followed, standing outside the door and looking at Wang Xu, who was expressionless, picked up a pistol and fired a signal flare into the sky.
Green flares streaked across the night sky, and even a blizzard couldn't stop it.
Seeing the signal of safety, the snow plow and large equipment made a detour to the valley, while Charles and Woods led the team and began the descent using the zipline.
"Boss, the surroundings have been searched, there is only one person here, there is no scientific equipment, and there is no ambush." Seeing Charles coming down, Henry trotted up to meet him.
Woods frowned slightly, swept the abandoned whaling station with a flashlight, and said in a deep voice: "This whaling station is located in the center of Antarctica, how did he get here without relying on large equipment?" ”
"yes, how did he get here, it's such a cold place, even a helicopter can't pass through, don't tell me he's a revenant!" Henry shrugged his shoulders at Charles's question, which was what he wanted to know.
Seeing that Henry did not answer, Charles led the team of experts into the whaling station and went straight to Wang Xu's room with a bonfire.
Seeing Wang Xu, who had been standing at the door unmoved, his eyes seemed to be looking at the dead man again, Charles hesitated and said: "I'm Charles from Weiland Industrial, friend, where is your team?" ”
"I don't have a team, and I've been waiting for you for a long time." Wang Xu looked at Charles, who was one of the few wealthy people in the world.
The arrival of him and his team represents the official launch of the main story, and it is time to enter the pyramid and lead to the Aliens and Predators.
This is an essential step, without creatures entering, the aliens cannot breed, and the Predator has no opponent.
As for the protagonist, strictly speaking, the movie Alien vs. Predator has no protagonist, and even the female explorer Woods, who is the first protagonist in line, does not have many scenes in the movie, and the main task is to play soy sauce and then promote the development of the plot.
Among the other supporting roles, there are no refreshing characters, but the Predator is quite eye-catching.
From Wang Xu's point of view, this movie is just like its name, there are only two real protagonists, the Predator and the Alien Queen, plus a group of soy sauce-playing humans.
"Just do what you want, and don't bother me when I don't exist, thank you." Wang Xu didn't give Charles a chance to speak, and quickly closed the door and stopped seeing guests.
Charles looked at Woods with thought in his eyes and said to Woods without looking back, "Don't you think it's strange? Where he came from, how he came here, and what he came to do, it's really weird everywhere! ”
"yes!" Woods looked solemn and nodded imperceptibly.
The deserted Antarctica, the abandoned whaling station, the mysterious people who came here before them, and some inexplicable words, connected with each other, make Woods also cloudy.
"Mr. Charles, you should go to the rest meeting first, there is a lot of snow outside, so you can only move tomorrow morning. After camping for a while, I'll talk to the mysterious man, and maybe there's something unexpected. Woods withdrew his gaze and persuaded Charles to leave first.
Charles stroked his lungs, he was terminally ill with lung cancer, and it was very difficult to breathe in this icy environment, and he knew that now was not the time to be reckless: "See you tomorrow, Miss Woods, I'm waiting for your good news." ”
"See you tomorrow!" Woods glanced at where Charles was holding, and a little worry flashed in his eyes.
Thundered!!
The roar of machinery and the light of all kinds of large equipment drove into the valley.
Charles can rest because he is the big boss and others don't have that right.
The team of experts braved the wind and snow and began to collect specimens in the surrounding area, while the members of the engineering team set up an experimental platform overnight to prepare for the exploration of the underground pyramids.
Even the members of the security team occupied the watchtower of the whaling station in pairs, and set up a cordon on the perimeter to prevent the arrival of uninvited guests.
Woods was not idle, either, as she removed beef and mushrooms from the cart she had brought with her, and used the abandoned kitchen of the whaling station to stew a steaming pot of mushroom soup with meat foam.
"Henry, take out the thermos flasks in the supply cart, and each person will hold a bottle of mushroom soup with meat foam, we will be busy until 2 o'clock in the morning today, and in this cold weather, we can't bear it without eating." Woods made a late-night snack and called Captain Henry, the security team.
Henry, wearing a hood and white snow camouflage uniform, glanced at the watch on his wrist.
It was 9 p.m. and five hours before 2 a.m.
"Miss Woods—" Henry asked, holding a dozen thermos flasks, serving soup, "when is dawn?" ”
"There is a short day of dawn from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the rest of the time it is all night, this is Antarctica, you have to learn to adapt." Woods took a thermos, filled one, and pushed the door open.
Henry twitched his nose twice, sniffed the fragrant mushroom broth, and hummed, "Hehe, it's quite arrogant!" ”
Knock knock...
Woods, who left the kitchen, took the thermos and went straight to Wang Xu's room, knocking on the door gently.
Inside, Wang Xu was reading the whaler's newspaper, an outdated entertainment daily newspaper known for its anecdotes.
The above is about October 10, 1901, a silly boy named Ford, whimsically wanted to build a car, in order to win attention, he drove his own Ford car, participated in the city rally, and also won the first place.
"Damn, isn't this Henry Ford?" Watching tabloid reporters evaluate Ford with all kinds of ugly words, and even the mentality of reading jokes, Wang Xu had a feeling of being ridiculous.
Ford is a legendary American business tycoon, and although his anti-Jewish stance has added a bit of stain to his historical evaluation, it cannot be denied that he is really a business legend.
Today in 2004, seeing this lace news issued in 1901, Wang Xu is still more interesting.
Unfortunately, before he could continue watching, a knock on the door brought him back to reality.
"Come in, Ms. Woods!" Wang Xu glanced at the door and replied disappreciatively.
Crunch...
The door opened, and Woods walked in with a thermos flask, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Is there anything wrong, Ms. Woods?" Wang Xu continued to flip through the newspaper, and for him, the heroine Woods was not as interesting as this newspaper.
Woods tilted his head, and with an inquiring tone, asked, "I seem, didn't tell you what my name is!" ”
"And then?" Wang Xu still didn't look back, let alone have any intention of explaining.
Woods was embarrassed, in her thoughts, Wang Xu should follow her topic and say I know your name or something, and then she was expressing some surprise, and everyone became familiar with each other after chatting, and then it was convenient to ask some questions that were not easy to ask.
Fortunately, the other party didn't have any idea of talking about it at all, Woods could only smile awkwardly, and said without words: "I brought you something to eat, the night in Antarctica is very long, usually lasts until noon the next day, and lack of food is a big problem." Woods said as he looked at Wang Xu's expression and found that he didn't look up at all, so he could only continue: "Can I talk to you a few words?" ”
"No need, I don't care about the issues you care about at all, we are not all the way, and there is nothing to talk about, you and I don't exist." Wang Xu didn't mean to get close to these people, and he didn't want to waste his time on dead people.
Yes, this is a bunch of dead people.
Wang Xu needs them to enter the pyramid and start the plot, the Predator needs them to awaken the aliens and start the rites of the adult trial, and the aliens also need them to become sacrifices for their children to multiply.
The three parties who have the ability to become chess players all have a common need, and that is to invite these people to die.
If they don't die, the alien can't be born, the ritual of the pyramid won't be activated, the Predator won't come to Earth, and Wang Xu won't be able to contact the Predator.
Looking at it this way, these people are bound to die, and is it necessary to talk about it with a group of dying people?
