015: Spaceship
The Arctic is a cold place, a violent storm and snow perennially ravage this glacial land, turning the sea into a thick layer of ice, forming an ice continent, at this moment in the east is autumn, the Arctic is raging as always, the vast snow is faintly in the wind against the wind, difficult to walk.
"Mr. Wicks, how long will it be before we get to the base, didn't you say that the base is not far away, if we don't get there, I'm afraid the snow will drown us."
A bearded man in a heavy winter suit, holding a camera in his hand, and wearing goggles with a white frosty face, shouted at the man in the military coat leading the way in front of him.
"Zac, the base is in front, I didn't lie to you, it's just that the snow is too big in this ghost weather, blocking our view!"
The man named Wicks turned in response.
"Fake, it's all Luthor's fault that we left late, otherwise we would have arrived at the base long before the blizzard came!"
The bearded man, that is, Sark, shouted hard, and the blizzard raging in front of him made it difficult for him to utter a complete sentence.
"Hey, you have some strength to walk!"
Wicks said and looked at the ankle-soaked snow with a worried expression.
The two of them did not speak again, for the blizzard was almost obscuring them at this time, and they could only walk hard in the snow with their heads down, and every step they took was difficult, as if they were stepping on a sticky swamp, and they had to stop and gasp for breath every distance they walked.
"Wait! Wait! ”
Suddenly, Sack behind him grabbed Wicks in front of him.
"Fack! What's wrong with you?! We're almost at base! ”
Wicks wiped the hoarfrost off his goggles and turned back to lash out.
"There is light, red light!"
Sack waved his hand and pointed to a mountain looming under the vast snow not far away, because the snow was very large, only the subtle outline of the mountain could be seen, sometimes the wind suddenly became stronger, and the mountain would disappear into the white, but there was an obvious point of light, which attracted people's attention, it was a red point of light, the red light was very weak at first glance, but then it intensified, gradually getting bigger, like a dazzling star in the deep sky, but it was red!
"How... How is it possible, who can survive in the mountains in this environment......"
Wicks was a little speechless, because they must know that they are now standing at the bottom of the mountain, looking up, judging from this height distance, the location of the red light point is halfway up the mountain, far away, and at the same time, the snowstorm experienced by that place is also more violent, and the temperature is naturally lower, enough to freeze a bottle of mineral water for a short time, and it is impossible for anyone to survive!
However, at this time, the crimson light point was moving, and in the next second, he flew... Flew away, yes, flew away, towards a higher glacier, and disappeared into a ferocious white storm.
"What the hell is that... What?! Alone? ”
Out of professional instinct, Zac behind him has taken a lot of photos and videos, and the advanced photographic equipment allows him to clearly capture the whole process of the red light from appearance to disappearance, which looks weird, like some mysterious force at work.
"Damn, bring me the camera, this can't give you coverage, it's not in line with our rules."
As one of the heads of the US Arctic bases, Wicks knows that this kind of thing must not be easily reported, and he decisively grabs the camera.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that he reacted so much, Sack directly handed over the memory card.
"Thank you, I hope you can understand that this is not in accordance with the regulations, there is the base ahead, let's hurry over."
Wicks put away the memory card and let out a sigh of relief, turning around and walking towards the base, his mind was now full of rushing back to the base and investigating what the red dot of light was and why it was in that place.
Because his mind was all on the red point of light, he didn't notice the reporter Shack, and secretly hid another memory card, and he also followed Wicks, not forgetting to take pictures of the surrounding scenes, for fear of missing a vision like the one just now, for a well-known freelance journalist, if he wants to get a strong news report and consolidate his position in the circle, he must be careful and bold, and he must get the first-hand news information before anyone else.
"Are you sure there's a red point of light flying up the glacier?"
At a base in the Arctic of the United States, the person in charge asked Wicks, who had just come back in front of him, and the hoarfrost on the other party's face had not had time to wipe it off, so he hurried to the office after eating hot water.
"I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't a device from any country, but some kind of vision, or something from an alien civilization, it would definitely be a good thing for us, and our base would be the first to discover it."
Wicks drank hot water to ward off the cold, and from time to time put his hands on the iron cup to keep warm, and his tone was a little trembling when he spoke.
"What if it's a hallucination, the base has detected no signs of life on the glacier, and no objects have been detected."
The person in charge asked with a solemn expression.
"It's true, I promise God, it's definitely not a hallucination, and Sark has captured the image, we may ......"
Wicks was talking.
Suddenly, there was a tremor not far from the "bang" base, as well as a loud noise caused by the collapse of the glacier, and the huge sound even overshadowed the blizzard howling outside, making the table legs in the base shake slightly.
"Boss, signs of life have been detected on the glacier, and... The glacier has collapsed! ”
A staff member strode up and shouted.
"What?!"
Hearing this, the person in charge and Wicks glanced at each other, and without saying a word, they walked quickly to the hall, where several devices were feeding back the situation on the other side of the glacier, and different pictures were presented on the screen, one of which showed the extent of the glacier's extensive fracture.
"What's going on now?"
The person in charge asked.
"According to the detection data, the glacier was melted by high temperatures and then hit by a huge force, which led to the collapse, which is very strange, no equipment and weapons can be thought of to have such an effect, and we have not detected any large objects before this."
As the staff was explaining, he saw that the glacier had cracked again, mostly collapsed, as if it had been hit by a huge seismic wave.
"Impossible..."
...
...
Meanwhile.
On the desolate and white glacier, a huge pit appeared in the originally flat ice, and the vibration emitted by this pit was the reason for the collapse of the surrounding glaciers, and now looking down at the pit from top to bottom, you will find that the pit has been opened up at some point, forming a tunnel that goes straight to the ground, the tunnel is surrounded by potholes, and you can vaguely see that there are fist marks, this passage is actually beaten out by someone punching a fist, after 10,000 years of ice, the ancient glacier has long been extremely hard, Now he has been punched and punched out of a bottomless tunnel.
"Hoo ......."
At the bottom of the tunnel, the initiator is Luo Wei, who has taken off his clothes to facilitate the movement of his body bones, and the muscle lines appear angular in the dark light, and the tall body and broad-shouldered skeleton set off him to look mighty, like a stone statue carefully carved by the artist.
"Finally found it."
Luo Wei looked straight ahead, through the thick ice, you can clearly see that there is a huge black spaceship behind, because the spaceship is frozen in the North Pole, coupled with the strong technological level of the Kryptonians, the overall appearance of the spaceship is not dilapidated, but full of science and technology, even if it is the 20,000-year scientific and technological level of the Kryptonians, it is not something that humans can achieve at this stage.
Boom –
Thinking about it, he smashed the ice with a punch, and the ice collapsed abruptly, he opened the door of the spaceship and strode inside, because before coming down, he specially selected the hatch at the tail of the spacecraft to enter, and now after smashing the ice, it is the hatch of the spaceship.
Click...
"Identity verification was successful, Carl. Al! ”
As the system sounded, the door of the spaceship opened, and a narrow and dark passage came into view, the channel structure is round, all made of steel plates, and the thick lines exposed can be seen in some places, perhaps the spaceship has its own ecosystem, which can produce oxygen for the survival of organisms, Luo Wei did not feel a little stuffy after entering, but felt very adaptable, which may also be related to his physical fitness.
"Carl El..."
When Luo Wei heard this name, he felt very emotional, after all, the only time he heard others call him by this name was sixteen years ago, and he was reborn into this world at that time, and now it has been sixteen years later.
In fact, the spaceship's usable space is not particularly large, but the ceiling of the internal space design is very high, Luo Wei walked to the hall after a while, the light here is dim, this place is also the main control room of the spaceship, there is a console in the center, it looks like a podium, Luo Wei walked over, stood there and put his hands on the console, and then the console started to glow with a faint light, and the dark hall suddenly brightened, and the lights above his head were lit one after another.
Airplanes......
At this moment, directly in front of Luo Wei Station, a tall and thin figure was projected on a clearing ground, and the figure gradually overlapped from blurred to converged, and finally condensed into a middle-aged man who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Hello, Carl. Al, my child. ”
Joe. Al was originally in a state of confusion, but when his vision gradually cleared up, and he saw the young man in front of him clearly, a name inexplicably appeared in his mind, which was the name of his son.
"You're my biological father?"
Luo Wei asked knowingly.
"Well, but you don't seem too surprised."
Joel said slowly.
"I vaguely remember you, but that childhood memory is too vague, but I can be sure that my body is different from that of earthlings, so I came here to find the truth."
Lowe didn't dare to say he had a memory.
"I'm sorry, kid, I sent you to Earth alone so that the race can continue, although Krypton is an ancient and decaying civilization, and the rulers are stubborn, but even so, I don't want Krypton to be destroyed."
"So, I send you to Earth, and at the same time inject into your body the treasure trove of Kryptonian wisdom, the Code of Life, which records all the genetic sequences of Kryptonite, and use it well, you will be able to revive the glory of Krypton."
Joel's image says that although the image in front of him is very intelligent, he is still an image, and the content recorded in it is all about the memories of Krypton before its destruction.
He exists to help Lowe wonder why he would send a newborn baby to a distant planet.
"Why Earth?"
Lowe continued to ask.
"About 20,000 years ago, Kryptonian explorers have been here, and they found that this planet is illuminated by the golden sun, and after absorbing the energy emitted by the golden sun, Kryptonians can inspire unparalleled power, and that explorer found that he has great strength, and super speed, and even flies as he wants."
Joel paused, his expression a little sad, "It was also since then that the explorers realized that the original Kryptonians have been cursed since their birth, not only is there a red sun hanging in the sky above Krypton, but even the ground is full of Kryptonite, for Kryptonians, this is simply a prison, these things suppress the potential of Kryptonians and imprison the entire civilization in a cage." Even later, even after the birth of the Kryptonians, they were doomed to be trapped in an iron cage and forced to choose a predetermined route and could not make changes. ”
"It's the Code of Life, you want to give me the Code of Life, in fact, it's to recreate a new Kryptonian civilization, so that people have the right to choose their lives independently, instead of continuing the ancient and decaying civilization system?"
Lowe had learned about Joel, the biological father who had been opposed to the Kryptonian system during his lifetime and did not want people to be tied down, as mentioned earlier, because after the birth of Kryptonite, everything will be assigned by the Code of Life to become warriors or doctors or scientists, some people may think that this is very good and perfect, because such a system only exists in the legendary utopia.
And Joel is a dystopia, his idea is that everyone has the right to decide their own life, choose their own way of life, and cannot be controlled, but this idea did not get the support of Krypton's top management until Joel died and Krypton was destroyed.
"Carl, you deserve to be my biological son, you are very smart, and you have perfectly inherited the genetic bloodline of the El family!"
Joel smiled happily when he saw that he was so perceptive.
"I just... I thought of it by accident..."
Luo Wei said secretly, I can't tell you that I actually have the answer in my hand, after all, there are answers to the exam, and if you can answer incorrectly, it means that there is a problem with your brain.
"Kid, it would be an honor for you to have such an idea."
Joel took a deep breath, and the image began to gradually become blurry, this image memory recorded Joel's emotions, which also made his tone gradually choked, "Go, child, develop your greatest potential, don't live up to my and my family's expectations!" ”
After speaking.
The image suddenly lost power, and it was gone, but the video recording was still there, but the time for the image just now was up, and he could continue to start the image and communicate with Joel in the future.
"Hey... Poor man......"
Luo Wei sighed, Joel, as a revolutionary of the older generation of Krypton, finally waited for the destruction of Krypton, and failed to complete his great cause, and he didn't know how unwilling he was before he died.
"Let's get out of here first, I don't know if anyone has found out."
Lowe was silent for a moment, deciding to leave the place first.
If someone finds out, it's a bit of a hassle to leave, after all, the spaceship is too large, and he is worried that someone will catch it.
Thinking about it, he started the flying engine, and a huge roar instantly resounded, and the entire spaceship trembled, and the surrounding ice was affected and gradually cracked, spreading outward like a spider's web.
Meanwhile.
on the glacier.
Two snowmobiles broke through the blizzard and landed a few people, including Weeks and journalist Sark, as well as others from the U.S. Arctic base staff, who were heavily armed and cautiously walked towards the conspicuous hole in the glacier.
"Be careful, it's from here that movement is detected."
Wicks reminded to look at the instrument in his hand from time to time.
Several people walked more cautiously after hearing this, and raised their spears one after another, ready to deal with emergencies that might occur at any time.
However, at this moment, Wesker, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and in the next second, he suddenly threw himself to the side and shouted, "Get out of the way!" The instrument shows that something is about to rush out of it! ”
Just when everyone was stunned.
Boom –
The ground shattered abruptly, the ice was knocked open by the behemoth that rushed out of the ground, splashing like snowflakes, the ground quickly tore out of the deep cracks, and continued to spread and collapse, like a soft sandbag washed away by a flood, the glacier was as fragile as a sand pile at this time, and then a huge black-gold spaceship was like a dragon, soaring into the sky, and the huge body came into everyone's eyes, and the shadow formed by it shrouded everyone's head, as if the sky suddenly went dark!
