The pitch-black and empty cockpit welcomed the first guests in two thousand years.

With a wave of Wang Peng's hand, more than 20 power armors quickly dispersed and inspected the cockpit.

"No anomalies, safe." Listening to the report from the communicator, Wang Peng motioned for Wei Lan and his party to go in.

Charlie walked up to a sleeping pod with a flashlight in his hand and said to Wellan, "Mr. Wellland, you see, this sleeper pod resembles the sleeping coffin of the Pharaoh. ”

Wei Lan looked at it and found that it was indeed very similar.

At this moment, Wang Peng noticed that David walked quickly to a chair and looked intently at the text on the control panel in front of the chair.

After looking at it for a while, David raised his head, greeted Wang Peng's gaze politely, and said, "Can I open it?" Wang Peng stretched out his hand and motioned for him to take care of himself.

David sat on the seat that was not proportionately large, looking very petite, and with a quick press, the huge platform in the center of the cockpit suddenly lit up, and a brief holographic star map appeared in everyone's eyes.

Yi Li couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but the miniature planet that was supposed to be virtual was gently taken off by Yi Li at this moment as if it were real.

Charlie, who was carefully observing in front of the sleeping pod, suddenly exclaimed, "This one is still alive!" ”

"David!" After Wei Lan glanced at it, he shouted David's name excitedly.

Hearing the call, David quickly got up and walked to the sleeping pod, and without knowing where he pressed it, the hatch slowly opened with a click.

"It's coming," Wang Peng muttered in a low voice, and gave an order in the communicator, "Everyone be on alert and don't let it escape." ”

As the canopy of the hibernation pod opened, the strangely shaped helmet covering the Engineer's face was retracted, and with a heavy breath, the Engineer woke up after two thousand years of deep sleep.

Looking at the "engineer" who sat up and retched slightly, Ellie, Charlie and everyone else couldn't help but take a step back, only Weilan frantically ordered David, "David! Ask it if there's a way to prolong my life! ”

David translated to the "engineer" word for word, and Wang Peng's intelligent brain Huaxu loaded on the power armor quickly compared David's pronunciation, combined with the text information obtained before, and translated the language of the "engineer" family little by little.

Hearing David's pronunciation, the "engineer" slowly stretched out his huge palm, covering David's forehead, as if caressing.

It was a greeting from the Creator, and Wei Lan's face turned red with excitement, waiting intently for the response of the Creator "Engineer".

And the "engineer" responded, destruction.

Two huge palms grabbed David's neck one left and one right, and with a little force, he pulled off the head of the cyborg David, and the liquid splashed, and the undisguised killing intent from the creator "Engineer" made Miss Vic, who was far away on the Prometheus, unconsciously hug her arms.

Looking at the palm of the "engineer" raised high, Wang Peng, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly lit up the hidden thruster behind him, kicked hard under his feet, and the entire power armor slid and jumped and slammed into the "engineer's" body.

"Knock"

After a muffled sound, the "engineer", whose body structure was no different from that of a human, was violently knocked into the air, and under the cushion of the protective suit on his body, he did not seem to suffer much damage.

Wang Peng looked at the "engineer" who stood up after a sigh of relief, and said slightly, "Don't shoot, I want to test how hard this big man's body is." ”

The power armor collided with two large steel hands in a defiant gesture.

The "engineer", who was not low in wisdom, obviously understood the meaning of this gesture, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his huge dark pupils, and he pounced without saying a word.

Wang Peng looked at the figure that rushed over with a punch, and the "engineer" made a progress, raised his hand slightly sideways to separate the powerful punch, locked the head of the power armor with his right arm, and his whole body spun violently with both feet, and with the help of the powerful centrifugal force brought by this rotation, he threw out the heavy power armor.

The power armor flying in mid-air slammed into the metal bulkhead, and the huge impact force was offset by the excellent cushioning system.

Wang Peng got up and glanced at the "engineer" with a mocking expression on his face, and a concept in his mind was unprecedentedly clear, "This is the life of an intelligent race, not an irrational beast." ”

Putting away the contempt in his heart, Wang Peng slowly approached and spoke, "You are strong, but you are meaningless. ”

David in the corner faithfully translated, and the complicated look in the eyes of the "engineer" flashed, and he spoke for the first time, "You are with them?" They were obviously referring to Weilan's group.

Wang Peng shook his head, looked at the words on the screen that Zhinao Huaxu reminded him of the completion of the analysis, and continued to speak directly in the language of "engineer", "During the voyage, we accidentally found a spaceship, followed them to this planet, and through scanning, we found many spaceships hidden underground. ”

The Engineer was silent for a moment, as if thinking, "You are explorers?" ”

"Everything here, so to speak, is ours now." Wang Peng pointed to his feet, and then to "engineer", "including you." ”

"It's dangerous here." Ignoring Wang Peng's words, the "engineer" said to himself, "The experiment is out of control, there are many very dangerous creatures hiding in the shadows, they use parasitic hosts to prey, and attack us frantically. ”

was ignored, Wang Peng was not angry, but coldly threw out another fact, "Two thousand years have passed, and there is obviously no life on this barren planet. ”

"Two thousand years?" Obviously, this news made the "engineer" a little unacceptable, "After such a long time, why didn't my people come?" ”

No one could answer the question, and only the self-talk of the "engineer" echoed in the air.

David, who had only his head left, was picked up by Ellie, and suddenly Ellie broke the somewhat dull atmosphere and asked, "Why did you make us?" ”

"Because we can." There was a casual casualness in his tone.

David's translated answer made Charlie stunned, and the conversation with David came to mind.

Why did humans make me? David asked.

Charlie replied, because we can.

Hearing this answer, Eli swallowed another question, this attitude towards the experimental object guinea pig was the best answer to the previous behavior of the "Engineer", who obviously did not regard the humans present as equal beings who could communicate, and it was no wonder that he would directly attack David without saying a word.

If one day, you saw an orangutan in a lab walking up to you in human clothes and speaking in human language to make a request, how would you react?
