"The other party's attitude was very cold, and he didn't want to talk too much to me. He looked at people like..."
In Charles' room, Woods paused for a moment and whispered: "It's like looking at a dead person again. I'm very familiar with this look. When I first participated in an adventure, the leader of the adventure team was my father. It was an expedition to conquer Everest."
There were two photographers who insisted on taking pictures halfway through the expedition. When my father watched them leave, this was the way he looked at them. I was 19 years old at the time. This incident left a deep impression on me."
"What happened next?" Charles was eating in the room, a bowl of mushroom soup with minced meat and two slices of bread with foie gras spread on it, simple but not simple.
"There was nothing after that. I never heard from them again, and on Mount Everest, no news is the most terrible news." When Woods said this, Charles stopped holding the bread in his hand, with a look in his eyes.
Got some thoughts.
Charles was born in 1942, during the middle of World War II and the United States had just emerged from the Great Depression.
When he was a child, he worked as a newsboy and polished people's shoes. After going through many hardships, he started from scratch. It took him 40 years to get to where he is today.
Every business tycoon has a different fate but the same talent, that is, they can examine things and see things that ordinary people cannot.
Some say this is a business opportunity, some say this is the trajectory of destiny, and some say this is the difference between tycoons and ordinary people.
The same goes for Charles. He put the bread in his hand into his mouth and looked like he was chewing the food carefully. In fact, he was thinking about the problem.
The last time he thought about a problem this way was 15 years ago when he was considering his successor.
Ten minutes later, after finishing the two pieces of bread, Charles took a sip of hot soup and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue: "Contact the headquarters and ask the headquarters to notify Blackwater and ask them to send a hundred-man combat team over. I will do it tomorrow afternoon."
See them."
"Blackwater Company, a hundred-man combat team, is this necessary?" Woods was startled. Blackwater Company is famous for its mercenaries. The strength of hundreds of people gathered together is enough to subvert a small South African country.
"2800 years ago, it is self-evident what the pyramid with new energy represents. I made a mistake before and only regarded this operation as a journey to discover the New World, or an archaeological activity. Now think about it,
Things are not that simple. What if the pyramid is really left behind by prehistoric civilization and is there danger in it?"
Charles threw away the handkerchief and said solemnly: "I have plenty of money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems to me. Just be prepared."
On this expedition to Antarctica, Charles took a total of 50 people, including 20 engineers from the engineering team, 15 security personnel, 8 experts and scholars, plus 2 doctors, a tour guide, and a captain.
A leading explorer, himself and his assistant Max.
Among this group of people, the captain, 3 engineers, 1 doctor, and 5 security personnel stayed on the ship to take care of the situation, and the remaining 40 people were here.
A team of 40 people is enough to explore the pyramid ruins, but if faced with danger, only 10 combatants can actually fight. On average, each of them has to protect three people, so the armed force is stretched thin.
At this time, Wang Xu did not know that his lack of expression was already the biggest hint to this legendary tycoon.
Soon, a set of signals was sent from the radar car of the whaling station, and after being rotated by satellites in space, it was transmitted to the Wayland Industrial Group in Florida.
After a night of silence, the butterfly's wings have been fluttering, and while it has brought about changes, there are also things that have not changed.
The next day, Wang Xu was woken up from his sleep by a sudden voice.
Hearing the sound coming from outside, he suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out and grabbed the alloy sword immediately.
With the knife in his hand, Wang Xu, who had not taken off his clothes to fall asleep, rushed out like an arrow from a string.
When I got outside, I saw that he was the first one to come out. I saw two security personnel standing on the tower, pointing to the north with their fingers raised.
Following the gesture, he looked up and saw that twenty or thirty meters north of the camp, there was a hole about three meters in diameter that extended downward to an unknown location.
"What happened?"
Wang Xu is the fastest, and the others are not slow either.
Along with shouts, many people rushed out with weapons. Even Charles, the big boss, came out with a revolver.
"I was standing guard just now. When I looked back, there was suddenly a big hole in the ground. I swear, I looked there a few seconds ago and there was nothing at all. In the blink of an eye, this hole appeared!" said the security guard on the guard post.
, pointing at the big hole with a shocked look on his face.
Max rushed over with the security personnel and took a flashlight to look inside. The hole extended downward at a 30-degree angle and was bottomless. It was as dark as the entrance to hell.
"A perfect 30-degree angle. We have measured this position. From this angle, we can reach the entrance of the pyramid. According to the calculations of our engineering team, it will take at least 3 days to build such a cave. I just don't know this cave.
Have you got it through?" An engineer from the engineering team said while standing in front of the hole.
"It's connected!" It was Charles who spoke. He was holding a laptop in his hand. Everyone came up to take a look. It was a thermal image taken by a satellite.
As soon as you catch your eye, on the thermal imaging screen, the pyramid buried underground is vividly displayed on it.
Outside the pyramid, there is something similar to a passage, which extends from the surface to the pyramid. It is obviously the passage in front of you.
"It's a miracle. When we finished the work last night, there was nothing here. If the people on duty hadn't lied, this hole might have appeared suddenly." The engineer measured the hole and kept saying the word "miracle" in his mouth.
For engineers, this is an engineering miracle. Using existing technological equipment, a workload that would have taken at least three days to complete was completed in the blink of an eye.
But for Charles, this is not a miracle;
"Terrible!" Charles stroked the appearance of the cave and whispered: "From the surface to the entrance of the pyramid, it is exactly 618 meters, no more, no less. What weapon can break through the 618-meter ice-covered Antarctic continent in an instant, opening up the world?"
Such a hole with a diameter of 3.3 meters and a length of 618 meters? More importantly, we were in the room just now, and we didn’t hear any movement at all. It’s simply unimaginable!”
Wang Xu, who was standing aside, was actually more touched than Charles.
Charles and the others are just ordinary people. It is normal that they cannot feel the trembling of the earth, but he did not feel it either, which is abnormal.
You must know that the location of this underground cave is less than thirty meters away from his room, and the entire area is under his induction.
But he found nothing. If the guards hadn't yelled, he wouldn't have even known there was a cave.
"It's amazing. It penetrated more than 600 meters of icy soil in an instant. What's rare is that it didn't cause the slightest shock, and it connected to the entrance of the pyramid exactly. This shows that this weapon has good and reliable controllability. Speaking of hitting
You can wear as much as you want, without even a millimeter of error."
Unlike the clamoring expedition team, Wang Xu knew that the only people who could use this weapon were the Predator spacecraft staying in the universe.
A glimpse of the leopard, judging from this simple energy attack, the technology of the Predator must be extremely advanced.
Otherwise, there are human dormitories twenty or thirty meters away. If they were not extremely confident in this weapon, they would not be able to fire at such a close distance.
As we all know, the more powerful human weapons are, the wider their impact will be.
Only by being able to overcome this range of damage can we focus energy on one point and pursue greater point-breaking damage. The technological level of the Predator is not to mention compared with humans on the earth.
No one has mastered this kind of energy weapon.
"According to the classification of the men in black, the intensity of this energy beam's strike has at least reached level 1, which is the power to destroy a building with one blow. Moreover, the Predator obviously still has some remaining power. If the battleship is allowed to fire with all its strength,
I'm afraid that even the earth cannot withstand this kind of energy weapon, so it will be penetrated by a single blow, causing it to lose its own gravity and collapse." Wang Xu did not have panic on his face, but had a slight smile on his face.
The more powerful the Predators are, the greater their value is and the greater their help to Wang Xu.
With the statue given to him by Iapitus, the God of the Old Ones, in hand, Wang Xu had the confidence to talk to the Predator on an equal footing, and was not afraid that the Predator would cut him into slices and study him.
"You don't seem to be panicked at all?" Wang Xu's half-smiling expression still caught the eye of a caring person.
Hearing the whispers coming from beside him, Wang Xu looked back and said casually: "Human beings are not afraid of things they know well, don't you think so, Ms. Woods?"
"Do you know who did this?" Woods felt that he had grasped the key point of the question. Like a student who cheated on an exam, he was eager to know the answer.
Wang Xu shrugged and said with a smile, "No comment."
"You" had no comment, which made Woods feel angry.
She instinctively glanced at the security personnel around her. At this moment, Henry and others were surrounding the cave with weapons, as if she could arrest this mysterious man with just one order, and he could ask whatever he wanted.
As soon as this idea appeared, it stuck in his heart like glue and couldn't get rid of it. Woods would be lying if he said he wasn't moved.
However, before she turned her heart into action, she saw the playfulness in Wang Xu's eyes. Even she didn't know why, but she suppressed the thought of arresting this man for questioning and instead calmed down.
He said: "Whatever you want, I don't want to know anymore."
"Haha, interesting!" Seeing Woods' sudden change of attitude, Wang Xu became interested in the heroine.
What made Woods change his mind? Is it fate?
Of the forty or fifty people in the expedition team, only Woods survived to the end of the play. Could it be that her fighting power was even more powerful than that of the security personnel.
No, she is not powerful, but she can always make the most appropriate decision at the most appropriate time.
As a result, everyone else in the expedition team died, as did the Alien and Predator. Only the heroine Woods survived in the ending. This was obviously not an accident.
"Woods, follow your heart, follow your feelings, and let me see how far you can go."
"What?"
Listening to Wang Xu's words, Woods was a little confused.
Wang Xu tilted his head and looked at her, tapped his chest with his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't reject your inner feelings, otherwise you will die miserably. Don't forget this sentence. This is what I mean to you."
