Chapter 428: Night on the Icefield

"Predator!" Wang Xu looked up at the sky with thoughts in his eyes.

The Predator is a very interesting race. Their social deconstruction is similar to that of the Spartans. They grew up in military camps. They believe that killing is a right given to them by the gods. They like to use the skulls of other creatures to decorate their honors and are active in the universe.

On the battlefield of time, he fights for his employer as a mercenary.

The Antarctic whaling station at your feet is where the Predator clan holds its coming-of-age ceremony.

Predators usually live to be 200 years old. They reach adulthood when they are 20 years old. Every adult Predator must undergo the trial of adulthood.

There are various ways of testing, and the most commonly used one is a kind of creature called an alien.

The Predator has built a huge number of pyramids all over the universe. They imprison the Alien Queen at the bottom of the pyramid, and open a part of the pyramid every year to hold coming-of-age ceremonies for the adult Predators.

If the Predator wins, the pyramid will be sealed for one hundred years and then activated again one hundred years later.

If the aliens win, the defeated Predators will destroy the civilization on this planet and be buried with the dead Predators.

One hundred years ago, in 1904, the Antarctic pyramid was activated once.

And now, in 2004, it's time for the pyramid to start up again.

"The technological capabilities of the Predators were not reflected in the movie. The three Predators who participated in the trial only brought cold weapons when they first appeared, and even the energy weapons were sealed in the pyramid.

However, it is conceivable that the technology of the Predators is definitely not bad, otherwise they would not be called cosmic mercenaries, specializing in helping cosmic civilizations launch wars.

As for the Predator’s technology not being revealed in the movie, it’s probably because the Predators who came to Earth are all underage Predators who came to participate in trials. Just like we can’t go hunting with airplanes and tanks, they

It is also impossible to fly a warship to participate in the trial, otherwise what would be the purpose of the trial.

Maybe, I can contact the Predators and sell them some things I don’t need in exchange for some equipment I can use.”

Wang Xu secretly thought, each world has its own value, as long as you can discover them and use them.

The movie Predator only reveals the tip of the iceberg of this universe. Digging deeper will not necessarily yield less than the world of Men in Black.

"The Predators believe in the strong. Although their own technology is very advanced, they prefer to wear armor and use cold weapons to kill. If I want to get on the line with them, I must first have the strength to be recognized by them, plus a little luck.

!”

Wang Xu thought of this, took out a bottle of lucky water from the space ring, and said with a smile: "I am not short of luck!"

Gudongdong

The taste is a bit sour. Slughorn added too much lemon juice to the lucky water he made this time.

Wang Xu threw the bottle away casually, thinking that after returning this time, he must advise Slughorn to develop strawberry-flavored lucky water. He didn't like lemon juice at all.

"It feels good, but the taste is a bit off!" After drinking a bottle of lucky water, Wang Xu felt refreshed, as if he was in his mother's arms.

The next second, the power of the lucky water began to take effect, and Wang Xu had an intuition in the dark, that is, staying here and not going anywhere, as long as he waits with peace of mind, something good will happen.

Feeling the dark omen, Wang Xu lit a fire and let time slip away by him.

An hour later, it got dark, the wind was howling outside and snowflakes were falling.

Wang Xu stayed in the whaler's dormitory, drinking the vodka the whaler left in the warehouse and warming his hands on the bonfire.

Just when he was thinking about making some barbecue, there was a knock on the door outside.

DONG DONG, DONG DONG DONG DONG!!

The knocking on the door was very urgent, indicating that the person knocking on the door was anxious.

Wang Xu raised his head slightly and opened the door with vodka. As soon as he opened the door to a small corner, a penguin stuck its head in cutely.

Penguin tilted his head and looked at Wang Xu, and Wang Xu also lowered his head and looked at him.

Without waiting for an invitation, the penguin twisted its fat body, got under Wang Xu's feet, and went straight to the bed next to the campfire.

Wang Xu looked outside. It was very windy and snowy outside, and there were few people around. It seemed that the person knocking on the door was this penguin.

After closing the door again, Wang Xu returned to the campfire and sat down, looking at the penguin lying under the bed.

This should be an emperor penguin, 90 centimeters tall, with an orange feather under its neck, its back and head are black, and its belly is bright white.

Emperor penguins are very smart. They can usually sense snowstorms in advance and gather together to form a penguin wall. The strongest penguins are placed on the outermost edge, and the female penguins, young penguins, and older penguins stay in the middle.

This penguin doesn't look very big, so it's probably not an adult, or close to it.

It clearly sensed the blizzard, but it didn't know for what purpose, whether it was separated or expelled. In short, it did not look for its own group, but found this safe haven.

Wang Xu even guessed that this was not the first time this penguin came here to escape a snowstorm. Judging from the way it crawled under the bed with ease, it was obvious that it had done this before.

"Before I came in, the door here was ajar. Do you call this place your home?" Wang Xu took a sip of wine and asked the little penguin.

The little penguin tilted his head and looked at him, his eyes full of curiosity. He crawled out from under the bed and sat with him to warm himself by the fire.

Seeing that the little penguin was not afraid of people, Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and touched its head with his hand.

Before his hand could touch it, the little penguin turned around and pecked at Wang Xu's hand with his sharp front beak.

Wang Xu suddenly retracted his right hand, looked at the little penguin with a half-smile, and then touched its head with his hand.

At this time, the little penguin became angry and pecked his hand with its front beak, while flapping its wings to show its strength, as if to drive him away.

Wang Xu shook his right hand back and forth in front of him, and the little penguin also followed his hand. The swaying way he walked looked very cute.

Wow!!

Suddenly, Wang Xu withdrew his hand. The little penguin was startled, his steps staggered, and he fell to the ground.

"Haha!" Wang Xu was amused by it. He pressed his hand on the little penguin's belly and shook his fingers to tickle it.

The little penguin is not very sensitive, because the thick fat accumulated to resist the cold makes it difficult for it to be as light as a swallow.

Pressed down by Wang Xu's hand, Penguin struggled repeatedly, but couldn't get up.

I wanted to peck him, but I couldn't reach my hand on his belly, so I could only lie on my back and twist my body, looking like I was acting cute with you again.

"I stay here because I think something good will happen. Don't tell me that this good thing is you!" Wang Xu teased the little penguin for a while, patted its head and let it go.

The little penguin stood up with great effort, looked back at Wang Xu, and then got under the bed. No matter how Wang Xu called, he couldn't come out.

The wind and snow outside were getting worse, the fire in the room was swaying, and the charcoal was burning with a crackling sound.

While Wang Xu was drinking, he talked to the little penguin and teased it to come out and play.

The little penguin was unmoved at first, as if he was scared of being bullied by Wang Xu. However, as time went by, the bed was far away from the bonfire. Although it was still warmer than outside, it was not as comfortable as next to the bonfire, so it still walked out with a little hesitation.

.

This time, Wang Xu no longer teased it. One person sat on the north side and a penguin sat on the south side, staring at each other with big eyes.

Antarctica is inaccessible, and penguins are not afraid of humans. Humans are not natural enemies in their eyes, but they are somewhat curious about humans.

When Wang Xu was looking at it, it was also looking at Wang Xu, but Wang Xu was not sure whether the penguin was a smart animal and whether it could remember him.

In order to increase this possibility, Wang Xu, who was bored, took some dried fish from the space ring and tried to connect with it emotionally.

After eating seven or eight dried small fish, Wang Xu wanted to feed it, but found that the penguin was unresponsive. Looking again, it turned out that he had fallen asleep standing up.
