Chapter 267: The Origin of Humanity?
"This is a dead end, and the detector shows that this is the way to go."
Electromagnetic induction also confirmed what the geologist said, and the black ghost created by Ani spread its long legs and rushed down the path shown by the probe, using its body to drive the way.
Driven by Wen Yu's spirit, the group reached the geometric center of the entire hemispherical building faster than in the movie, where sunlight poured into the heated water droplets through the holes in the roof of the building, and the air making and air filtration functions of the building itself also made the internal environment suitable for the survival of humans, or the Titans, even ordinary people could remove protective equipment here.
So the male protagonist immediately couldn't wait to be the first warrior to breathe the alien air: "I'm going to untie the helmet......"
"Don't be like a kid who finds a new toy, we can't waste time and keep going." Wen Yu frowned to stop the plot characters' nonsense, she was not a bad-tempered girl, but the sense of urgency forced her to use her mental abilities to dictate to the plot quests in order to continue to drive them forward.
The black ghost created by Ani with subhuman energy ran dozens of meters ahead without hindrance, encountering no obstacles or traps along the way...... And those small bug-like miniature detectors are hanging the reincarnators like maggots on tarsal bones, only following everyone from a distance, Mao Dong has tried to leave the team and go back to clean up these small things, but after destroying a few, the remaining number has not decreased at all, so he can only helplessly let these things follow, just to finish the task quickly.
Wen Yu's frequent and continuous hypnosis made the ordinary crew members obediently follow forward like domesticated small animals, instead of wasting time by looking around like before. However, the cyborg David is not affected by his psychic abilities, only his behavior is as usual in the original plot: on the way forward, he discovers a Titan monitoring and control panel, and after touching and controlling it according to his knowledge of ancient characters and symbols, large white pixels rush along the corridor like explosions. Stereoscopic projection footage of the last moments of the day of the Titan base accident was projected into the hallway.
――
The pixels condensed into several tall white figures at the end of the aisle where the reincarnators came from, and they hurriedly chased after everyone along the route taken by the reincarnators, and the last one looked back from time to time, as if something terrifying was chasing them.
"Beware, the enemy is likely to take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack." Zhang Haolin silently watched David complete the operation that appeared in the original plot, and then led everyone to the side of the road to avoid the collision of several white phantoms. Keep your whole body on the lookout for any movement around you.
There was still no situation happening, and those white phantoms were indeed stereoscopic projections, and the enemies hidden in the shadows did not take advantage of the maneuver......
"Why?" Mao Dong was puzzled: "Could it be that the strength of the other team is very weak and he doesn't dare to face us?" But even if we don't dare to come, we should find some means to stop or try to hurt us, we have been discovered, but we have never encountered any obstacles or traps, and the Prometheus has not been attacked, this does not make sense! ”
"Maybe the other team was actually thrown far away by the main god, and it was too late to come. Can only scatter detectors all over the sky? ”
"Yarn, those probes don't fly fast, they're just small. This planet is smaller than the earth, unless other teams are placed on the other side of the planet by the main god, it is impossible for the probe to reach the people and not be able to arrive, we can fly hundreds of kilometers per hour with the broom we got several worlds ago, the titan technology starting point in this world is higher than ours, it is impossible to have no flying vehicles. ”
"There aren't many possibilities left. A more plausible explanation is: Mao Dong said while following behind Zhang Haolin: "The other two teams of reincarnators have already contacted each other and fought a series of battles, and there is no winner or loser. Still watching each other...... That's why our third team, which suddenly broke into their field of vision, was not attacked for a long time. ”
"No traces of the battle were found...... It's all at this level, and the battle between reincarnators should leave obvious signs, unless it's a spiritual power competition......"
"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, then the situation is in our favor, as long as the other party doesn't move to grab the corpse of the Titans. Let the Prometheus leave, and we will be almost invincible! ”
Following the stereoscopic projection of several Titans who fled in a hurry, everyone ran forward quickly on the road probed by the subhuman ghosts, and soon reached the corner. Here, the Titan projection running at the back fell to the ground, and then his head was severed under the weight of a door, and the video ended.
――
Everyone held their breath and slowly walked out of the corner, and under the light of the flashlight, they could see the scene outside the corner.
A wall as thick and smooth as a stone wall stands in front of you, and on the ground at the foot of the wall, a huge pale corpse lies on the ground against the wall, everything is like a reproduction of the plot, even if the movie is played again, there will never be a difference.
"Is there any sign of activity in the dead man's body?"
Wen Yu shook his head: "No." ”
"Oh my God, we've found ...... Creator, Creator, Engineer! The two archaeologists walked out from behind the reincarnations, approached the huge corpse regardless of it, stood in front of it and shone a flashlight on the body, looking down at the first alien ever discovered while admiring, Zhang Haolin did not dissuade them, if there were any traps around the corpse, then let these middle and second disease patients go to the thunder.
However, nothing unusual has occurred.
"What cut off your head?"
"This should be a door." Someone in the crew soon noticed the anomaly of the wall, and a beam of light shone on it, and the rest of the personnel, who were not very interested in the corpse, immediately began to observe the high wall blocking the way, and soon found a panel with strange words engraved on the side of the wall.
"It's a strange design, even if these Titans are two and a half meters tall, they have to reach out and tiptoe to reach the panel that opens the door, right?" Wen Yu looked up at the high place a little strangely, except for those few small flying insects, there were no spiritual or electronic movement signals other than humans.
"David, you should know the words on that panel, open that door!" Zhang Haolin held the marbles and eliminated a small insect detector that was forced to dodge, hardening the liquid metal on the front of his body, and the tense nerves slowly approached the headless titan corpse. Reach out and touch it, and the next second, it will be smoothly tucked into the ring.
No matter what hard-to-find hands and feet were made on this corpse, as long as it was put into storage, it would never function again. "We'll get it when we get to the door, and then we can go back to the spacecraft for the next research."
"Where did you hide the body? Wait, we don't know what's behind the door yet. "The corpse vanished into thin air. The two men who were observing it immediately cried out in surprise.
"Get out of the way, whatever is behind this door, leave it to us to deal with first!" Zhang Haolin shouted loudly, and had already taken the lead in retreating ten meters away, reaching out to take the alloy ladder taken out by another team member, driving the magnetic field to control it to the wall, and motioning David to climb up and open the door.
The crew members who were nervous by the reincarnation's surprise stood up one after another, panicked away from the stone wall, and nervously stared at David, the only one among all who had no emotional fluctuations, walking towards the ladder that Zhang Haolin had set up.
"It's better to remember David's modus operandi. If something happens to this robot, we'll have to teach ourselves the words of ancient civilizations and manipulate these things. Mao Dong retreated behind Zhang Haolin and quietly reminded him.
David stepped on the ladder and slowly climbed towards the height, reaching out and gently pressing on a few sunken runes, after a few faint flashes of red light, the huge door slowly rose, and with a roar, it began to spew out white mist from the crack in the door below. In the environment of minus ten degrees Celsius, the smoke dissipates in an instant. The huge statue of a human face behind the door immediately attracted everyone's attention...... But before that, Wen Yu's spiritual scan had already rushed into the door like a flood. In an instant, the entire space behind the door was enveloped.
"There are no complicated lives, just a few little ones arching around in the mud."
"Weng Wei stay here, don't let those probes fly in." Zhang Haolin walked towards the huge face behind the door, to be precise, towards the huge head that had been cut off on the ground behind the door, and neither the magnetic detection nor the mental scan showed anything abnormal. Then I can only think that there is no problem in this head...... But the fact is that Zhang Haolin successfully put his head into the ring.
"Done? We withdraw ......"
"Wait, if you don't mind, can you tell me, what the hell are you guys nervous about? The contents of this room haven't been checked yet. David got down the ladder. As he asked, he walked intently into this mysterious room where a large number of biological and chemical weapons were stored.
Zhang Haolin looked directly at the only robot that couldn't be controlled with some annoyance, and asked impatiently: "Okay, you can take a look around this room, how much time does it take?" ”
"At least record the entire interior of the room." Unhurried, David spoke at a constant pace and intonation, turned on the camera and entered the room with a flashlight: "Amazing Portrait ......"
"Give you five minutes, and whether you're having fun or not, we'll leave and return with the entire crew."
The reincarnators looked at each other helplessly: this robot was only loyal to Welan, not only was it not subject to mind control, it would not obey the orders of any human here, and it was not even counted among the side quest objectives that the Lord God asked for protection...... It's just that it's the only guy in the entire human camp on this planet who understands a lot of ancient civilization languages and can communicate with the Titans.
"Go back and make a copy of the ancient linguistics on our own computer, so we won't be helpless if something happens." Mao Dong said, "Now, just wait a few minutes." If there was a trap, it would have been triggered a long time ago, and the enemy could not have set a time-delayed trap for pointlessness, since there had been no attack so far, then this place is safe. ”
"Do you want to burn all the little worms in the mud on the ground?" Weng Wei raised the flamethrower in his hand a few meters away and asked, "Maybe these are also detectors." ”
"There's no need, don't blow these jars up."
This room is taller and more spacious than the corridor you pass through, a full ten meters high. At a glance, it's almost certain: it's the largest space outside of the sun-heated zone in the geometric center of the building. The ground was densely packed with jars of biochemical venom, but without exception there were gaps between them that could be easily walked through, and from the outside of the door it looked like a giant human face was surrounded by plum blossom stakes...... On the walls and dome behind the portrait of the human face, there were all kinds of sculptures and murals, Mao Dong's heart moved, turned into an afterimage and rushed in, and after a while, he returned to his teammates.
"There's something new, on those frescoes." "I missed some details when I watched the movie, but this time we didn't let these idiots unmask them, so the atmospheric changes in the room weren't so drastic, and I was able to take a closer look at all the murals and sculptures." ”
"Murals?" Zhang Haolin was a little curious and motioned to his teammates to continue.
"There are alien shapes on the murals, which we knew when we watched the movie, but it wasn't until just now that I realized that the murals and sculptures on the walls of the room in other parts of the room completely recorded the birth of the original aliens. First use this black water to contaminate the male titan individual, and then mate, so that the female titan will give birth to a face-hugging worm in her belly, and the face-hugging worm will inject the embryo into the body of other Titans, which completes the complete process! ”
"Is the alien manufacturing method on the wall?" Wen Yu opened his mouth: "In other words, the alien that broke out of the body of that Titan pilot at the last moment in the original movie is not the first alien in the universe that was accidentally born, and the builders of this base have successfully cultivated aliens thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago!" ”
"Yes, but not only that, we can also deduce a few things for sure: they created humans to be used as alien incubators, which is basically confirmed, and there is nothing to discern, and one more thing, David in the movie poisoned Dr. Holloway's wine, not on a whim to poison a crew member, but - after seeing the mural and relaying this information to the old Weyland in the spaceship, Weyland instructed him to experiment with the crew, and he wanted to reproduce the creation of the alien on the human, and even breed the alien!" Ignoring the expressions of his teammates, Mao Dong continued after taking a breath. "And I now have a bolder guess: do you think that carving aliens into a mural and carving the entire process of the birth of this monster on the wall seems like what a biologist of an advanced civilization should do?"
"Not quite like it, more like a bunch of fanatical maniacs...... Damn, this madman Welan, the creator who has spent his life searching for eternal life, is probably a bunch of madmen! Zhang Haolin stood at the door of the room and stared straight at the large empty room full of poisoned water jars, but finally gave up the idea of going in and looking at the sculptures on the wall in person: "The existence of these sculptures means that our previous speculation that 'the alien was an accidental product of experimentation' or 'biological weapons' may be wrong." Looking at this appearance, it is not so much biological research, but rather that the Titans worship the alien as a totem, perhaps they have come to the conclusion that the alien is the 'most perfect creature' through modeling and calculation, so they established this base, wanting to create the perfect creature in this calculation through experiments. ”
"Then there is an answer to why no one cares about this base after it is abandoned, it is not the civilization of the Titan race that established these bases at all, but a part of the heresy that split out of this civilization, we can call it the Alien Cult, a group of fanatical Titan people who believe in the good law of the Alien Race......"
"So, humans are just food that a group of cults feed the monsters they worship?" Wen Yu showed an angry look: "These crazy people, fortunately, they all died in an accident, otherwise human civilization may still be in an era of ignorance, giving birth to children to feed aliens!" ”
