Coming down from the weapons hall, Wang Xu walked through a long corridor and came to a hall that resembled a mass grave.
There are four corners in the hall, southeast, northwest, and there is a large pit in each corner. Looking down with a flashlight, I saw that the pit was filled with corpses.
Click!!
As Wang Xu walked into the hall, the sound of gears turning sounded again.
The next second, the oil lamps fixed on the wall were quickly lit with the sound of gears turning.
The lights illuminated the entire room. Wang Xu walked along the cross-shaped corridor, twitching his nose slightly and glancing at the oil lamp hanging on the wall.
These oil lamps looked inconspicuous, but the burning smell carried a delicate fragrance. If he guessed correctly, this was the distinctive characteristic of burning whale oil. He had smelled this fragrance in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.
A mass grave, an automatically lit oil lamp, and a cross corridor connecting four different exits.
Wang Xu turned off the flashlight and watched everything with interest until Woods and others hurried in.
"Oh my God!" As soon as Woods and others came in, they were shocked by the four mass graves.
The mass graves were densely packed with corpses. There were at least tens of thousands of people under each large pit. Some of these corpses were strong adults, some were smaller women, and some were children who had not grown up.
"Why are there so many corpses? There must be tens of thousands of people, right?" Charles whispered in disbelief as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Sebastian stood at the edge of the cross corridor, squatted down and looked at the bones in the mass grave, and said: "They should be workers, workers who built the pyramids. Look at their chests, we saw them in the sacrificial hall. Each of the corpses had their chests turned outwards, but the chests of these people were intact."
The corpses in the sacrificial hall existed as alien parasites, and there were traces of the alien beings breaking out of the body on the ribs on their chests.
But these people have no such traces. Obviously they are not sacrificers. So besides the workers who built the pyramid, who else would die here in groups.
After hearing this explanation, everyone present suddenly realized.
Wang Xu also took an extra look at him. Sebastian was a erudite and talented scholar. Unfortunately, he died miserably in the movie. His rich knowledge did not allow him to escape, and he did not know this. Will fate be changed once?
"Hiss!"
As soon as I thought about fate, the goddess of fate came and gave me the gift of fate.
Wang Xu suddenly raised his head and looked at the passage in front of him. At the end of the passage, there was an alien with its tail wagging, tilting its head and looking this way.
It's not appropriate to say that it's just looking at it. The alien has no eyes. Its skull has a heat detection function, and like a bat, it can sense the slightest vibration.
Tap tap tap tap
Upon discovering the presence of humans, the alien began to run faster and faster.
Obviously, this is an alien that absorbed human genes and evolved. It has two sharp claws and runs at an amazing speed. Except for its tail, which is a bit annoying, it is generally similar to humans.
"Fire!" Before Wang Xu could take action, Henry stood in front of Charles and opened fire with the Blackwater mercenaries.
Five M16s fired wildly, and the empty shells flew out from the bolts and landed on the ground with a crisp crashing sound.
The two sides were forty or fifty meters apart. The alien moved at the moment when the mercenaries opened fire. Before the bullets came, it jumped up and climbed up the wall, wandered over the wall and rushed over.
In two breaths, the magazine was not empty, and the alien rushed into the mercenary team.
It flicked its barbed tail. This three-meter-long killing tool similar to a scorpion's tail penetrated the chests of the four mercenaries in just an instant and threw them out like a bunch of candied haws.
.
Bang bang bang!!
Before the four mercenaries had time to express themselves, they were thrown into the mass grave and made no movement.
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched. The alien's movements were as fast as a cheetah, at least three times as fast as a human's.
From the moment aliens discover humans and humans discover aliens, this battle is basically over.
Because Wang Xu observed very carefully, the moment the mercenary raised his gun, the alien jumped out, covering a distance of more than 40 meters in less than two seconds.
Before the mercenary could adjust his shooting angle, the alien had already pounced on him, so fast that people couldn't react.
"What?" Henry only had time to scream in surprise before he was knocked out by the alien with his head. He flew more than ten meters away before rolling to the ground, lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
At this time, Charles and the others realized that they subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Woods refused to retreat and instead advanced: "This way!"
Woods shouted loudly, pulled Charles and ran towards Wang Xu, leaving Sebastian stunned for a moment as he was about to retreat.
Whoosh whoosh!!
Sebastian was stunned, but the alien was not. It swung its three-meter-long tail, quickly rolled up the assistant Max who was standing next to Sebastian, and slammed it to the ground.
It took such a smashing effort for Sebastian to react and run forward as if he was desperate.
Wang Xu stood with his hands behind his back and did not move from beginning to end, looking sideways at the alien.
When the alien faced the Blackwater mercenaries, he directly used his ultimate move, piercing the chests of four people with his tail and throwing them away.
But when facing the defenseless Max, it did not use the barb on its tail. Instead, it directly rolled Max up, only to fall to the ground and fainted.
"It's interesting. Kill the threatening opponents and knock out the non-threatening ones. It seems that this alien is a worker bee. It is different from the combat aliens. Its main job is to find a parasitic host for the facehugger. If it is not a threat to it,
, it usually does not kill directly, but will knock out humans, drag them to the incubation room, and let the facehugger inject alien larvae."
In the movie, worker bees are translated as male peaks, which is a wrong translation.
Each male bee is a female that has not yet completed its development and cannot become a queen. Its duties are similar to those of a worker bee, but it is not a male.
There is only one female in the alien family, and that is the queen. Only when the queen is about to die will she give birth to queen facehuggers with the ability to reproduce.
Otherwise, when the next female alien appears, the new female alien will kill the old queen and become the new queen.
Therefore, after seeing the alien's movements, Wang Xu quickly understood why it did what it did.
Because the aliens are a big family, with a clear division of labor just like bees.
The Alien Queen, the Alien Guards, the Fighting Aliens, the Worker Bees, the Messengers, and the Facehuggers, together form the Alien Family.
The duties of the queen are similar to that of the queen bee. They are responsible for laying eggs and generally do not participate in fighting.
The alien guards are the queen's guards and are mainly responsible for protecting the queen.
The combat aliens are warriors and they charge into battle for the queen, while the worker bees are responsible for finding food for the larvae.
The messenger is the scout, and the facehugger is the larvae.
The queen can only reproduce facehuggers. After the facehuggers take over humans, they will hug their faces and lay eggs.
The eggs laid are alien. They develop from the human chest, eat the human internal organs, and burst out of the chest after passing the incubation period.
According to the Queen's instructions, the alien larvae that burst out of the chest will grow into guards, fighting aliens, worker bees or messengers. The social class and division of labor are clear from the beginning.
The alien in front of me is a worker bee. It has the duty to eliminate danger, but its duty is not to kill, but to find hosts for the facehuggers.
As for fighting aliens, they have no duty to find hosts for facehuggers. Regardless of whether they are unarmed or not, any creature that appears in front of them will be brutally killed by them.
"I'm coming!"
After knocking Max unconscious, the worker bee alien turned its gun and walked step by step towards Wang Xu's position.
Woods hid behind Wang Xu, pointed at the alien in horror, and screamed: "It's coming, it's coming!"
"Come here, just come here. Why are you shouting? I have no eyes?"
The aliens didn't scare Wang Xu, but Woods' voice made him a little intolerable.
Hearing Wang Xu's words, Woods quickly shut up.
With her eyes widened, she saw the alien worker bee standing on tiptoes, swaying in front of Wang Xu, raising its tail high.
Whoosh!!
A sound broke through the air, and Woods was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds
After a while, she opened her eyes tremblingly, and saw Wang Xu with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand grasping the tail of the alien.
"Haha, I can catch bullets, but you dare to act wild in front of me?"
The corner of Wang Xu's mouth raised slightly, and before the alien could attack for the second time, he threw it away with his hand: "Fuck you."
