Chapter IX Scientific Expeditions
The three Predators were almost identical in height, equipment, and appearance, and the only difference that could tell them was the mask on their faces. They slaughtered the members of the expedition outside and quickly entered the pyramid, and at the entrance of the inner passage of the pyramid, a predator stretched out his left arm, and pressed the fingers of his right hand on it a few times, and a red light ejected from the device on the arm, and quickly formed a small pyramid shape on the arm armor, and a pair of red dots appeared in the "pyramid".
The device on the Predator's arm and wrist is obviously similar to the function of Li Manyun's Skynet scanner, but the effect is indeed not as sophisticated as Li Manyun's, because the Skynet scanner is transmitted to the model on the computer, and even every room is clearly visible, but the Predator's model is only a general model, and the subtle structure inside cannot be revealed.
The scene in the pyramid has been fully revealed in this palm-sized virtual model, the Predator took a look, only to see that the internal structure of the pyramid has changed, about a few people are not far in front of them, although because of the change of the passage and formed a fork in the road, but under the guidance of the virtual model, this fork in the road is not difficult for them at all, on the contrary, it is the direction of the six people in front of them is far away!
The three Predators glanced at each other, and did not speak, as if they had some unknown means of communication, and after a while, the three of them nodded one after another, the Predator put away the virtual model that was opened on the arm device, and the three of them identified the road ahead, and ran quickly, the burly and majestic body plus the armor and equipment on the body looked very heavy, but it did not hinder their speed at all, looking from afar, it was like a giant bear running in anger, as if it wanted to destroy everything that stood in their way, Speckled blue and white points of light flashed from the Predator's body, and the spots of light flashed as if they were covered with a mysterious invisible veil by the gods, and the original burly and majestic body disappeared between these beautiful and gorgeous points of light, completely invisible.
The three Predators followed the expedition on its heels, and the members of the expedition, led by the industrial magnate Charles, were still unaware of their terrible situation. They have no way of knowing the deterioration outside, nor are they aware of the invisible killer Predator chasing after them, and this expedition of scientists from all walks of life has now indulged in the mystery and greatness of this pyramid.
The three ionic guns used to open the pyramid mechanism have been taken away by Ma Gaoyi, the pyramid mechanism was activated in advance, and the road was changed, but the team of explorers who were plagued by disasters in the movie also got a chance to breathe, but they couldn't know this opportunity at the moment, they just analyzed the "Pyramid Mystery" according to their previous experience and the professional knowledge of scientists from all walks of life in the team.
As time passed, the roads inside the pyramid had changed several times, and some inconspicuous adjustments had closed the path they had come, leaving only the destination where the road would lead, but these problems were not difficult for the Predators, as the descendants of the builders of this pyramid, the Predators had a very thorough understanding of the pyramid, and the equipment they were wearing, no matter how the road changed, it was in their expectations.
It didn't take long for three invisible Predators to follow closely behind the explorers, but not to kill, but to find a way to get them into the sacrificial chamber. It's a killing battle between the Predator and the Xenomorph, a battle that has lasted for thousands of years, and it's a solemn and sacred rite of passage for the Predators!
They don't allow anyone to stop them!
Never allowed!
The mechanisms inside the pyramid were activated, the passages were closed one by one, and the walls that were originally dead ends revealed new paths, and the explorer team was shocked by this situation, but when they got used to it, the only question on their minds was how to get out of here!
The people who can be selected into the explorer team are the elites of all walks of life, even if it is just the inconspicuous bodyguard next to Charles, it is also the elite soldier who has retired from the special forces, and under the escort of this group of former professional soldiers, the scientist and Charles are all safe and sound, and they are not divided by this road.
"Ahem~cough~cough~!"
An old man wrapped in a down jacket suddenly bent down and lowered his head and coughed hard, his voice was short and intense, his wrinkled thin face was slightly pale, and the coughing sound attracted the attention of his companions around him, a middle-aged black man with a shaved head quickly stepped forward to help him up, skillfully took out a bronchodilator from the old man's arms and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, under the worried eyes of the people around him, the old man sucked hard twice, his face quickly recovered, and the cough that he couldn't stop just now gradually began to ease at this time.
"Mr. Charles, you're all right, are you?" The middle-aged black man supported the expedition's patron, and the industrial magnate Charles Weyland asked in a low voice.
"I don't have a problem, just move on." Charles came back to his senses, put the bronchodilator back in his arms, and then reached out to hold the hat on his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
The temperature in Antarctica is extremely low, even if the whole body is wrapped in a warm and insulated down jacket, the unbridled cold wind is still threatening human beings, but this pyramid has a place that can provide an extremely large energy source, the temperature inside the entire pyramid is completely different from the outside, although it is still a little cold compared to the city where humans live, but in this Antarctica, it is already an excellent place...... If they weren't lost!
"I suggest we stop!" A black woman wearing a red woollen round-brimmed hat looked at Charles's state, took a deep breath, and said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Miss Woods, do you have any good suggestions?" Charles stopped coughing, and the whole person revealed a spiritual energy from the inside out, as if the old man who might die at any time just now was someone else.
Woods stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "First of all, our previous plan to come down was just to explore the path, so there was not much food and water to carry out, which was not enough to support us to carry out a comprehensive exploration of this pyramid!" And we're still lost now, which is the worst-case scenario. Who of you imagined a pyramid that could move inwards on its own before you entered here? ”
Woods' words attracted everyone's attention, and the terrified duty who had been trapped in danger heard Woods say what they thought, and his eyes immediately focused on Charles, who was the boss here, and the only armed force in the expedition only obeyed his orders.
Woods' eyes swept over everyone's faces, and when she saw everyone's expressions, she knew that her plan might succeed, after all, they didn't have guns in their hands, whether it was from the perspective of power or legitimacy, the final decision of this team was always in the hands of Charles, and if you wanted to make Charles change his mind, the only way was to unite all the people against him!
Woods paused in his tone and continued: "So, I suggest we stop moving on, now we can't even tell the direction, this pyramid is full of organs, the road is changing all the time, and without equipment we don't know where we are!" ”
"Uh...... Maybe Miss Woods is right! A thin middle-aged man hesitated after hearing Woods's words and said in support, this person seems to be one of the scientists recruited by Charles, although they can be very stubborn and wooden at times, but they are not stupid, they are very clear about their current situation, if they can't find a way out quickly, it won't be long before even food and water will become a big problem for them!
No one wants to die, although this pyramid is mysterious and great, but dying here is not a good choice, anyway, the pyramid is here and can't run away, why don't they go back and rest and come in after they are fully prepared?
"I'm sorry, everyone! I'm afraid your offer will not be satisfied. The black man who followed Charles said with an apologetic look on his face.
Woods frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and a bad feeling appeared in their hearts.
"There seems to be some kind of strange existence in this pyramid, and our external communication tools have not been usable since just now!" The black man shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Can't get in touch with the outside world?"
Everyone gasped, Miss Woods squinted, the panic on her face flashed for a moment, and she forced herself to calm down and asked, "Since when did this begin?" ”
"The exact timing is not clear, but we contact the ground personnel every 15 minutes to make sure it is safe, but our message cannot be passed on now, and we have not received any reply from the ground personnel." The black man explained, looking at Miss Woods.
"By the way, it must be the energy source of the pyramid that interferes with the magnetic field here, so our message can't be transmitted." A white man on the side frowned in contemplation, and then said with a sudden expression.
"Magnetic field interference? Over here? Miss Woods turned to look at him.
"Yes, such a huge pyramid is buried underground all year round, and once activated, it requires an extremely large amount of energy to operate, and once this huge amount of force is concentrated, it may affect the surrounding magnetic field! If it was an accident, it would be fine, but if it was deliberately arranged......" The white scientist frowned in contemplation, his eyes solemn.
"Deliberately arranged? Who will arrange this? Charles's face flushed again and then turned pale, apparently irritating his overwhelmed heart!
"I'm not sure, but judging from the scale and technology of this pyramid, it is very likely to ......" The white scientist was telling his guess, his voice paused, his expression instantly froze with a stunned look, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he slowly lowered his head, only to see that a touch of blood on his chest was turning from light to thick, and a large blood-colored hole suddenly appeared, and with a burst of blue and white ionic halo flashed, an alloy spear slowly appeared from the void, and it had pierced him directly from behind!
