"Whetton, Paul, Hill, Anderson, Davis, the five of you stay to protect the expert team. Henry, Bryner, Salmon, Bova, Corder, the five of you come with me, we are going to
Let’s go down and see our new friends.”
Woods said hello, and ten people wearing snow camouflage uniforms and holding firearms came down.
They are the security personnel of Weyland Industries and the personal bodyguards of the wealthy Charles. Each of them has a fairly classic resume, some are from the Navy SEALs, some are from the Delta Force, and some are from the international mercenary corps.
However, these combatants have the lowest status among the three parties. In addition to the boss Charles, they also have to accept the command of the explorer. In non-combat situations, they even have to act as logistics personnel to make fire and food for the expert team. This is what is called
The mind directs the limbs, and those who use their hands can never be as good as those who use their brains.
"Mr. Charles, the fire means that in addition to us, this place has also been spotted by another group of people. At present, we cannot judge whether the people below are friends or foes, and whether they are hostile to us. I hope you can stay above the valley.
, I will lead the team to talk to those people."
Woods took five combatants and found Charles who looked unhappy.
"No, I want to go down in person!" Charles raised his head slightly. He was already terminally ill. No matter what, he would not miss this opportunity to leave his name in history. He said solemnly: "No matter who they are, the first person to enter the pyramid must be
If it were me, I would definitely win this time!"
After saying this, Charles winked at the security personnel, and soon someone took out the zip line from the car, fixed one end to the snow plow, and threw the other end into the valley.
Whoosh!!
The two security guards carried guns on their backs and quickly descended along the zipline. After a few seconds, they landed steadily on the ground.
After falling, the two of them checked their surroundings and made a safe move toward the top of the valley.
Immediately afterwards, three more combatants descended, and five people formed a combat team and surrounded the room with guns in hand.
Because it was night and there was a snowstorm, the visibility was not very high.
The five-person team covered each other and chased the bright light in the wind and snow. After running quickly for a short distance, the two people leaned on both sides of the door. The two squatted on the ground and pointed their guns at the door. The remaining one raised the gun without hesitation.
feet.
"If you kick my door open, I'll knock your head into your crotch!" Before Henry could kick the door open, whispers rang out in the room.
Hearing this voice, Henry and his companions looked at each other with questions in their eyes.
When they came over, they had already determined that there was no monitoring equipment outside the door. How did the other party know they were coming?
crunch
The door opened and cold air poured in.
A young man in his twenties with an expressionless face appeared in the sight of the five people.
Wow!!
The five combatants raised their guns in unison, bypassed Wang Xu and rushed inside.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, he didn't like rude people, and these bad guests who entered the house without his permission were also not on the welcome list.
But then I thought about it, why would I want to compete with the dead?
Every one of the people here are sacrifices to the Predator and the aliens. It’s better to watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and watch his building collapse.
"There is only one person here. You two go to other rooms and take a look. Cord and Bova are responsible for covering." Henry was at the level of a squad leader and quickly gave orders to the other four people.
The four team members walked out with weapons in hand, and Henry himself followed. He stood outside the door and looked at the expressionless Wang Xu. He picked up his pistol and fired a signal bomb into the sky.
Green flares streaked across the night sky, and not even a blizzard could stop it.
Seeing the safety signal, the snowplows and large equipment detoured to the valley, while Charles and Woods led the expert team to use the zip line to begin their descent.
"Boss, we have searched all around. There is only one person here, there is no scientific equipment, and there is no ambush." Seeing Charles coming down, Henry trotted up to meet him.
Woods frowned slightly, scanned the abandoned whaling station with his flashlight, and said solemnly: "This whaling station is located in the center of Antarctica. How did he get here without relying on large equipment?"
"Yeah, how did he get here? It's such a cold place that even a helicopter can't pass through. Don't tell me he's a wilderness hunter!" Faced with Charles' question, Henry shrugged. This is what he wanted to know.
.
Seeing that Henry didn't answer, Charles led the expert team into the whaling station and went straight to Wang Xu's room with a bonfire.
Seeing Wang Xu who was standing unmoved at the door, looking as if he was looking at a dead person, Charles hesitated and said: "I am Charles from Weyland Industrial, friend, where is your team?"
"I don't have a team, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Wang Xu looked at Charles, one of the few richest people in the world.
The arrival of him and his team means that the main plot has officially started. Next, it is time to enter the pyramid and introduce the aliens and the Predator.
This is an essential step. Without the entry of creatures, the aliens cannot breed and the Predators will have no opponents.
As for the protagonist, strictly speaking, there is no protagonist in the movie Alien vs. Predator. Even the female explorer Woods, who is the first protagonist, does not have many roles in the movie. Her main task is to make soy sauce, and then
Promote the development of the plot.
Among the other supporting characters, there is no refreshing character, but the Predator is quite eye-catching.
From Wang Xu's perspective, this movie is just like its name. There are only two real protagonists, the Predator and the Alien Queen, plus a group of soy sauce humans.
"Just do what you want, treat me as if I don't exist, and don't bother me, thank you." Wang Xu didn't give Charles a chance to speak, and quickly closed the door and stopped seeing visitors.
Charles looked thoughtful and said to Woods without looking back: "Don't you think it's strange? Where he comes from, how he comes, and what he does here are really weird!"
"Yes!" Woods looked solemn and nodded imperceptibly.
The desolate Antarctic, the abandoned whaling station, the mysterious man who came here earlier than them, and some inexplicable words are all connected with each other, leaving Woods surrounded by clouds and mountains.
"Mr. Charles, please go and have a rest first. It's very windy and snowy outside, so we can only take action tomorrow morning. After setting up camp, I will go talk to the mysterious man. Maybe we can get something unexpected." Woods took back.
Looking at him, he advised Charles to leave first.
Charles stroked his lungs. He had advanced lung cancer and it was very difficult to breathe in this ice and snow environment. He also knew that now was not the time to show off: "See you tomorrow, Miss Woods. I'm waiting for your good news."
"See you tomorrow!" Woods glanced at the position where Charles was covering his head, a little worry flashing in his eyes.
Boom!!
The sound of machinery roared, and various large-scale equipment drove into the valley under the lights.
Charles can take a break because he is the big boss, but others do not have this right.
The expert team braved the wind and snow to start collecting specimens in the surrounding area, while the engineering team built an experimental platform overnight to prepare for exploring the underground pyramid.
Even members of the security team occupied the watchtower of the whaling station in pairs and set up a cordon around the perimeter to guard against the arrival of uninvited guests.
Woods was not idle either. She took the beef and mushrooms from the supply truck she brought and used the abandoned kitchen of the whaling station to stew a steaming pot of minced meat and mushroom soup.
"Henry, take out the thermos bottle from the supply truck and fill each person with a bottle of minced meat and mushroom soup. We will be busy until 2 o'clock in the morning today. In this cold weather, we can't bear it without eating."
Woods made a midnight snack and called Captain Henry of the security team.
Henry, wearing a hood and white snow camouflage uniform, glanced at the watch on his wrist.
It was 9pm at this time, five hours before 2am.
"Miss Woods" held a dozen thermos flasks, and while serving soup, Henry asked: "When will it get dawn?"
"There is a short period of light between 1 and 3 p.m., and the rest of the time it is dark. This is Antarctica, and you have to learn to adapt." Woods took a thermos bottle, filled it with one, and pushed the door open.
Henry twitched his nose twice, smelled the fragrant mushroom meat soup, and hummed: "Hehe, you're quite arrogant!"
dong dong dong
Woods left the kitchen, took the thermos bottle and went straight to Wang Xu's room, knocking gently on the door.
Wang Xu was inside reading the newspaper left by the whalers. This was an outdated daily entertainment newspaper, famous for its anecdotal stories.
The story above is that on October 10, 1901, a silly boy named Ford had a whimsical desire to build a car. In order to attract attention, he drove the Ford car he built to participate in a city rally and won first place.
Good results.
"Damn it, isn't this Henry Ford?" Wang Xu felt as if he was laughing as he watched the tabloid reporters commenting on Ford with all kinds of ugly words and even making jokes.
Ford is a legendary business tycoon in the United States. Although his stance against Jews has stained his historical evaluation, it cannot be denied that he is truly a business legend.
On this day in 2004, Wang Xu found it quite interesting to see this piece of tidbits published in 1901.
Unfortunately, before he could continue reading, a knock on the door brought him back to reality.
"Come in, Ms. Woods!" Wang Xu glanced at the door and replied nonchalantly.
crunch
The door opened, and Woods walked in with a thermos flask, looking at him with a smile.
"Is something wrong, Ms. Woods?" Wang Xu continued to read the newspaper. To him, the heroine Woods was not as interesting as this newspaper.
Woods tilted his head and asked in a questioning tone: "I don't think I told you what my name is!"
"Then what?" Wang Xu still didn't look back, and he had no intention of explaining.
Woods was embarrassed. In her mind, Wang Xu should follow her topic and say something like "I know your name", and then she would express some surprise. After chatting, everyone would become familiar with each other, and then it would be easier to ask some questions.
A difficult question to ask.
Fortunately, the other party had no intention of continuing the conversation at all. Woods could only smile awkwardly, and said without saying anything: "I brought you some food. The night in Antarctica is very long, and it usually lasts until
Lack of food will be a big problem at noon the next day." Woods said, while looking at Wang Xu's expression, he found that he didn't raise his head at all, so he could only continue: "Can I talk to you for a few words?"
"No need, I don't care about the issues you care about at all. We are not from the same place, and there is nothing to talk about. Just treat me as if I don't exist." Wang Xu has no intention of getting close to these people, nor does he want to waste his time
Wasted on dead people.
Yes, these are a bunch of dead people.
Wang Xu needs them to enter the pyramid to start the plot, the Predator needs them to awaken the aliens and start the adult trial ceremony, and the aliens also need them to become sacrifices for their children to thrive.
The three parties who have the ability to become chess players all have a common need, which is to ask these people to die.
If they don't die, the aliens won't be born, the pyramid rituals won't be activated, the Predators won't come to Earth, and Wang Xu won't be able to come into contact with the Predators.
Looking at it this way, these people are bound to die. Is it necessary to continue talking to a group of people who are about to die?
