Chapter 80: The City

'Is this really the home planet of the Engineers?' As Roshen approached the edge of the city, he had this question.

Although the scale of this city is not small, in any case, it is also somewhat inconsistent with the super civilization that was able to travel freely in the universe in a spaceship hundreds of thousands of years ago and run to the earth to create human beings.

With a circle of silver light flashing around his pupils, Luo Shen, with the assistance of the 'Eye of Truth', was naturally able to "understand" these seemingly imperceptible buildings, in fact, the technological content inside them was not very worthy of human admiration.

Stone, stone, stone...... Or stones!

The main building materials of this so-called "super civilization" turned out to be such backward large blocks of stone and some crude scientific and technological products?

And Roshen didn't find any decent factories, hospitals, power plants, or anything like that.

This also shows that the so-called engineering in "Alien: Covenant" is the home planet of a family that is not as developed as imagined.

The streets were littered with charred corpses, and the corpses of grotesque creatures of the opposite sex were in between, many of them dead before they could even break open the Engineer's body.

It's easy to tell if the corpses were fleeing in the direction of the city or in some large building before they died.

Some of the buildings have a particularly large number of steps in front of the doors.

These are very similar to human beings - or rather, human beings are derivatives of their own modeling.

Why was humanity created?

And why destroy humanity after countless years?

These are destined to be mysteries.

Luo Shen knew very well that unless he evolved towards the type of evil god of space-time quality, these questions were destined to be ancient secrets that were difficult to explore.

The city is scary.

Ten years ago, at the end of Prometheus's story, after driving a spaceship on the planet where the engineers were testing biological and chemical weapons at a certain moment to the so-called "home planet" of the engineering family, the android "David", who had become the villain in his own logical thinking, released the "black water" that was supposed to be dropped on the earth over the square in the center of the city.

This terrifying bioweapon was designed from the ground up to infect all non-vegetative organisms, quickly kill them, and hatch aggressive monsters from their hosts.

The unsuspecting group of engineers who had gathered in the spaceship landing plaza were suddenly wiped out.

However, from Roshen's perspective today.

Look at what the city shows in terms of architecture, scale, productivity...... The owners of this city simply do not have the ability to fight against the blackwater!

Roshen looked at the creatures on the ground whose average height and size were far inferior to the astronauts of the Engineer family who woke up in the spaceship in "Prometheus 1", and he already had some "conjectures" about the identity of the city.

……

Night.

The crew followed the cloaked mysterious man as they ran through the wilderness.

Everyone is afraid.

The monsters that inexplicably infected their companions and rushed out of the human body were terrifying.

After a fight, those white monsters with long heads like dogs and people were too vicious.

Caught off guard, even if everyone had submachine guns in their hands, they knew very well that in the event of a surprise attack, they would not be able to easily hit those damn little monsters in the dark! Instead, those monsters can tear them apart with their claws, whiptails, or razor-sharp teeth in an instant!

How could such a huge amount of power be hidden in that small body?

"Huh?!" David paused.

Immediately, everyone also saw a boy wearing shorts and T-shirts, revealing most of his snow-white calves and arms, standing with his back to them in the dimly lit square full of hideous dried corpses.

Through the dim but bright enough to see the near, the crowd saw the half-length snow-white hair of the short figure.

The cyborg's brain was thinking fast.

His brain stores a huge amount of information, from astronautics to human history, from mechanical engineering and maintenance to biological sciences and emergency medical care......

Of course, he understood in an instant that this strange little human boy was not the same thing as the crew behind him.

The style of his clothes is more like the style of the 21st century.

Although the difference from today's human clothing is not obvious, as an artificial human with at least 400G of clothing and matching information stored in his brain, David can instantly distinguish this.

David could see that.

Naturally, Walter can do it as well.

He had already sensed that something was wrong.

He didn't know enough information to figure out what was going on here. But Walt's cautious nature as an android is that Walter is always a little wary of this strange planet.

If he had followed the rules of normal astronautics, he would never have given up his original voyage plan and landed on this planet that was full of suspicions.

However, he was only an artificial human after all.

The orders of the captain and even the crew in charge prevented him from making crucial decisions.

He had been suspicious of the cloaked mysterious man himself, and now, when he saw the little boy standing in the square strewn with dried corpses...... The logical chain in Walt's mind began to frantically "alarm" him!

Unusual.

Dangerous.

Abnormal.

Needless to say, Walter felt it by almost all the crew members who fled here.

If the strange signals, the exploding landing craft, the terrifying monsters that popped out of their companions, and the inexplicable city covered with strange corpses made them feel the "chill" that deepened layer by layer...... So this little boy who suddenly appeared in all this is probably another existence that can't even explain the "chill".

Now.

Even the most idiot will know what a strange thing it is for a little boy in an inappropriate costume to suddenly appear on a planet where humans are impossible!

Nor could he be an aboriginal here.

Even if they are blind, they can tell the difference between these corpses and humans.

"Don't move!" Someone raised a gun.

Roshen turned.

The delicate and beautiful face made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "David." ”
