Chapter 346: Something Small

It can be said that it was Peter Weyland who used his ignorance and indifference to shatter Meredith's last hope for him, so that she finally broke with Peter Weland.

This time, Ye Qianhu didn't joke anymore, nor did he say anything to kill Weiland, just quietly stood here with Meredith.

After a long time, Meredith smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Ye Qianhu, "Let's go to the bridge." ”

Peter Weyland was actually alive, and the news that he was in this ship, even if he didn't deliberately spread it, the explosive news was quickly known by everyone on board.

Shock, disbelief, indifference or something else, all sorts of emotions varied, but of course, they quickly accepted the fact. This seemingly shocking news can be understood from another angle, but it is nothing unacceptable about an old man hiding in a sleep pod and deceiving others that he is dead.

Although at this time, after experiencing the killing of Feifield into a monster, most of the people on the ship did not want to stay in LV-223, a planet that seemed to represent death, for a moment. However, Peter Weyland is the one who really has the power to decide.

The Prometheus project will continue, this time with Peter Weeland's henchmen as the main one, and at most one more Elizabeth Shaw.

If Elizabeth Shaw hadn't been the one who had discovered the star map, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been qualified to see the engineer in Peter Weeland's eyes.

The significance of this operation to Peter Weyland was no different from a pilgrimage.

There is nothing to envy, others don't know, but Ye Qianhu knows very well that this is just an old man who longs for eternal life to form a group to send him to death, and by the way, he also awakened an engineer whose mind is full of destroying mankind.

Regarding why the project always wants to destroy human beings, Ye Qianhu seems to have heard of a reason that seems a bit ridiculous at first glance.

That is to say, Jesus was actually the Engineer, yet everyone knows that Jesus was killed and crucified. This behavior completely angered the engineer, and made the engineer believe that the brutal species of humans should not continue to exist, so he desperately researched biological weapons, wanting to give a big gift to the humans of the earth.

As a result, the gift has not been sent, but because of the leakage of biological weapons, a military base has been set up.

Whether it's true or not, the brain hole is indeed quite big.

When the Red Queen invaded the engineer's control system before, although she found a lot of valuable information, there was no reason why the engineer hated humans, so the above statement, Ye Qianhu could only be regarded as a brain hole.

Ye Qianhu and Meredith didn't stay on the bridge for long, and the captain with a sad face also returned to his place.

His men were still cleaning the gas chambers, the bodies of the two crew members were sealed, Feifield's body was completely burned, and there were still people using flamethrowers to clean the black liquid that had burst out of Feifield's body. No one wants to let more of that kind of monster appear because of the momentary carrying, and next time, Ye Qianhu may not be able to save them in time.

After explaining the rest of the work at the air tank, the captain made a trip to Elizabeth Shaw, but the results disappointed him. Elizabeth Shaw still had illusions about the so-called engineer, and she still wanted to meet the engineer and hear what the engineer would say.

The captain didn't care about all of this at all, he just wanted to bring his people back to Earth safely and bring them home, it's just that, for the Prometheus project, he was just a captain, not a decision-maker.

Peter Weeland's team didn't waste any time, and in less than half an hour, five of his henchmen, David, the doctor, a guard, and Elizabeth Shaw, rode the landing vehicle to the Engineer's military base again to visit the dormant Engineer.

The captain, the two pilots, Ye Qianhu and Meredith, there were only four of them in the bridge, and all of them were seriously looking at the picture transmitted by the team outside.

Unlike others, at this time, Ye Qianhu had to think about the next thing.

The Engineer wakes up and pilots the ship to Earth, but instead has no weapon system on the Prometheus, and can only activate the ion thrusters, turning the entire ship into a single oversized bullet, successfully hitting the Engineer's ship, and finally preventing the Engineer from reaching Earth with a biological weapon at the cost of self-destruction.

Then, dust to dust, and the story here should come to an end.

So, what about him?

I don't know why, since Peter Weyland woke up, there was a bad feeling that had been haunting him. However, he didn't know where this feeling came from, and he always felt that something would happen!

"Captain Jennick, did you see that?"

They had entered the ship, and Elizabeth Shaw's voice rang out from the console of the bridge, along with the footage transmitted through the camera of her protective suit.

Ye Qianhu had already seen that scene once, it was the storage compartment of the spaceship, and a large number of containers used to store biological weapons were stacked on top of each other.

"How many?" The captain asked in a deep voice.

"Thousands!"

"What is this?" The captain looked at the footage transmitted by Elizabeth Shaw, took a few deep breaths, got up and said to one of the pilots, "Ravi, give me those probe readings." ”

In the rover's readings, the area where Peter Weyland and the others are now is separated from each other, and a circular 3D effect of the ship is displayed on a table in the middle of the bridge.

"That's a ship," he said, propped his arms on the edge of the table, and the captain looked at the scans of the ship and whispered, "It's a damn ship!" ”

In the ring ship that belonged to the Engineer, Peter Weyland and his party had entered the ship's control room under David's guidance.

"There's no doubt about it, it's a higher species."

Davy stepped onto the disc-shaped platform in the middle of the control room and introduced the other first-time visitors, "The deep sleep pod, surprise." ”

Sitting in the Engineer's chair, David blew the piccolo and activated the console.

"Are they going somewhere?" Elizabeth Shaw looked at the place and said to David.

"From what I have, it's clear that they are preparing to leave before the catastrophe strikes." David casually explained, and after activating the console, he jumped onto the platform again.

"Where are you going?" Elizabeth Shaw had a very bad guess in mind.

David walked up to her and said, "Earth." ”

"Why?"

"Sometimes creation is preceded by destruction."

With that, David guided Peter Weiland to the dormant pod where the only remaining engineer was, and opened the pod with a few clicks of a button on it.

With a click, the dormant pod's translucent hatch opened to both sides, revealing the engineer they had been looking for inside.

Immediately after the hibernation pod was opened, the engineer awoke with what appeared to be an oxygen mask on his face, and as he got up, the tube attached to the mask was ripped off.

The engineer removed the mask from his face and let it go, revealing his bare white head, the one with its own reflective effect.

He was wearing an armor-like tunic that wrapped around his neck and body, which could have been their uniform, who knows.

The black hoses that were originally attached to his clothes were also ripped off as he got up, and two thousand years of dormancy obviously made him a little uncomfortable with his body when he first woke up, and the people around him could clearly feel the fatigue of the engineer.

Adjusting to the state of his body, the engineer looked curiously at Peter Weyland and the others, as if wondering why they were awakened by these people.

They were all so focused, no one of them, Peter Weeland, or the engineer who had just woken up, that in the long passage on the other side of the control room, some bloodthirsty little thing was creeping in!

Two thousand years ago, the leak of some biological weapons caused the military base to be abandoned, and all the engineers in it were slaughtered.

However, 2,000 years later, the biological weapons that destroyed them are still here. And, sensing the arrival of the living, they are pouring in here with new killings!
