Chapter 246 Black water is heterogeneous, evolution! Evolution!
Half an hour later, the ground exploration troops were ready to go.
There are a total of four scientists, five guards, the biochemical man David, plus Chen Gou, a bastard who is playing soy sauce in the eyes of everyone.
They all wear nano-protective suits and oxygen masks... The carbon dioxide content of the air outside this world is too high and is toxic to ordinary people.
Since the distance was not far and the road was smooth and straight, two land vehicles quickly brought everyone close to the pyramid.
After walking around half a circle, I found an oval arch. Huge rusty metals were stacked and tightened one after another, closing the door, but some places were incomplete, revealing a passable entrance...
All signs indicate that this was created by "man", which means that there were at least aliens on this planet!
Moreover, since we found the place here according to the ancient murals on the earth and saw the ruins of aliens, it is very likely that the other party is really the same as the murals refer to, and is the creator of human beings!
This discovery excited Elizabeth.
The space inside the gate was like a cave, dark and damp. After walking forward for about half a minute, a large beam of sunlight suddenly shone in from the hollow patio above.
The shot hits the ground, reflects around, and falls on the surrounding walls. It seems to flow and "trip" down along the wall.
Everyone gathered here to stay. Geologist Farfield opened his equipment, and several spherical electronic instruments called "dogs" flew out. The camera holes all over the surface emitted infrared rays and scanned the surrounding space.
This instrument can not only explore paths and map the entire map, but can also simultaneously transmit all the images it sees back to the Prometheus.
"Great job!" came the compliment from the spacecraft captain over the intercom.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the front.
It was not made by anyone, but a strange sound that I had never heard before.
Then, a giant figure over three meters tall appeared from the dark place with a strange scream, with a frightened expression. He ran and looked back, as if he was being chased by something.
Everyone was frightened and fled to the side. Only the biochemical man David stood motionless in the middle of the road. The giant seemed to be about to hit him, but strangely passed directly through him.
It turns out that it is not an entity, but just a residual image similar to light and shadow.
Immediately afterwards, dozens more giants appeared behind them, all of them ran forward in the same panic, turned a corner and disappeared.
"Is this a ghost?" Dr. Elizabeth hesitated, "Should we chase it?"
Harroway, who is naturally adventurous, his adrenaline surged in an instant: "It's a must!"
Elizabeth was also excited: "Then what are you waiting for?"
These two lunatics who didn't even know how to write the word "death" looked at each other and then chased after them without even saying hello.
Seeing this, others naturally had no choice but to follow, including the escort team including Fang Cheng.
Everyone quickly followed the giant ghost to a huge metal gate. The light and shadow fell to the ground and overlapped with a headless giant corpse. His head was cut off by the heavy gate falling, and the body was left outside the door, but the head was there.
Inside the door on the other side.
There are still more than a dozen corpses of giants lying under the wall outside the door. However, due to the age, they have all turned into skeletons and mummies, and there is basically no value for further study.
At this time, Chen Gou discovered that there were more than a dozen strange reliefs on the metal gate, with tall giants as the core in front, as if they were performing some kind of mysterious ceremony.
Doctors Elizabeth and Holloway immediately beamed with joy when they saw it. These giants were very similar to what they saw on the earth's murals, which further proved that they had come to the right place...
Here lies the secret of the origin of mankind!
Chen Gou stood in the corner. He didn't care about these reliefs at first. After all, they were things he had known for a long time, so there was nothing new about them. Computer version::/
However, when his eyes fell on the third relief sculpture, he was suddenly startled, and a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The protagonist on the mural is suddenly no longer a tall "engineer", but...an alien!
The appearance is similar to Tyrannosaurus rex but more ferocious. The exposed bones on the body, the sharp claws and the long tail like a javelin, and the unique shield-shaped skull all clearly show that the creature on this relief is an alien.
rather than anything else.
Although there are still some differences in form and details from the most classic aliens in Chen Gou's memory, there is no doubt that they belong to the same creature.
Therefore, a truth has been revealed... A long time ago, engineers may have used black water to cultivate alien-like creatures!
The second picture that followed made Chen Gou petrified on the spot.
Above is a picture of the Predator attacking the Engineers. Although the Engineers are tall and strong compared to humans, their individual combat capabilities are still extremely weak in front of the Predator.
The last relief is the scene of the battle between the alien and the Predator. Two murderous creatures engage in an all-round desperate fight...
"David, don't touch it!" Dr. Elizabeth suddenly looked at the biochemical man David standing in front of the door.
She has been wary of this almost human-like intelligent cyborg from the beginning to the end.
"OK."
David promised, but his fingers quickly pressed on several icons, pretending to be sorry, and the door opened with a roar!
Before she had time to think about why David could open the door, Elizabeth's attention was immediately attracted by the giant head on the ground behind the door.
This head is preserved in a helmet that looks like an elephant trunk, so its appearance is intact!
Chen Gou looked at the stone containers standing on the empty floor in front of him. There were hundreds of them, densely packed like stone benches in a church, and his scalp went numb.
Because what this stone urn contains is the black water related to the origin of the alien!
In the blink of an eye, the sand sculpture team composed of geologist Farfield and theologian Milban had recklessly knocked down one of them.
A strange black liquid flowed out from it and gathered into a small pool on the ground. It looked inconspicuous, but except for Chen Gou, no one noticed that a small worm that looked like an earthworm was just submerged...
This is Alien Origins Blackwater!
There were so many weird stone urns in front of us, which successfully aroused everyone's interest, but their expressions were different.
The indigenous scientists seemed to be ignorant and fearless, and did not feel any danger at all. They squatted there and touched it with their hands. Fortunately, they were wearing space gloves made of nanomaterials, which were inorganic, so they were not penetrated by the black water.
Norton and the other four examiners vigilantly maintained a distance of more than one meter without the detection ability like Zhu Tong.
I neither touched it out of curiosity nor tried to pack it away. Even if I wanted to study it, I just touched it with a weapon...
This made Chen Gou nod secretly, which at least proved that none of these people were mentally retarded.
If someone really dared to touch it directly with his fingers, he would have died a worthy death. Not to mention that Chen Gou might not have a way to save him, and even if he did, he would not waste energy and medicine.
When black water enters the body, high-level awakened ones can use powerful magic to directly force the black water out. There is no chance for "rookies" like them to be spared.
After confirming that no one would be "infected" for the time being, Chen Gou opened the candle pupil and looked over. Mobile version::
[Black Water Irregularity: Special Evolution Potion]
[Origin: Iron-Blooded Engineer Abyss]
[Introduction: It was originally an evolutionary medium studied by the Engineers for their own evolution, but because the genetic mutation caused by this heterogeneity after entering the living body was too violent and chaotic, even the Engineers themselves could not bear it, and instead became a fatal poison. 】
[Attribute: Alienated flesh and blood creatures, no matter how they come into contact, will cause mutation by strengthening their own excellent genes after entering the body, resulting in unpredictable consequences! Ordinary humans have a 99.999% chance of dying directly or mutating and losing their ability.
A sane, highly aggressive alien, and eventually died.
There is a 30% chance that the awakened person will not die directly when using it, but will modify the genes to make the body evolve into the form of a mysterious creature. The higher the basic attributes and level, the higher the mutation rate will be!]
[Warning: This substance is extremely dangerous. The more you are exposed to it, the faster your body will mutate! 】
[Evaluation: The holy medicine of the strong is the poison of the weak.]
"Mutation, evolution?"
"Why is there no mention of aliens?"
After reading the attribute information of Black Water, Chen Gou was confused.
He only knew that with the arrival of the Prometheus in the movie, the crew came into contact with the black water, which opened the door to the demonic alien. He logically believed that as long as it came into contact with the black water, larval aliens would be born in the body, and after development, they would
Breaking out of the chest...
But the information we see now shows that this is obviously not the case.
Black water is not essentially a parasite egg, and it will not cause another organism to be born inexplicably in any organism. Its function is only to allow the organism to mutate and evolve rapidly in a short period of time. If it cannot bear it, it will die and collapse.
Chen Gou carefully recalled the plot of the movie, and then he remembered that several people, including Harroway, who were directly exposed to the black water, actually did not have aliens in their bodies, and they all died directly in the end.
How was the only alien in the entire Prometheus born?
The male protagonist Harroway was tricked by the biochemical man David, and a drop of black water was added to the water he drank. Then, the impressed Harroway and the female protagonist Dr. Elizabeth applauded in love...
In the end, Harroway died of a mutation, and Elizabeth discovered that she was pregnant. Feeling something bad, she performed a laparotomy on the medical bed and removed a monster embryo with six tentacles in the form of an octopus from her lower abdomen.
This embryo is very similar to the facehugger in the back story of Alien. Then the monster embryo parasitizes a living engineer, and finally a real adult alien bursts out of the engineering body...
During the entire process, Elizabeth herself was not infected, and after the embryos were taken out, they were just like normal people, with no abnormalities at all.
Therefore, it was impossible for the black water to enter her body, but something mutated by the black water entered her body, and eventually developed into a monster embryo.
So the question is, what is this mutated thing that entered her body?
