Chapter 68 The exam begins, candidates are invited to enter the exam room
Zizzi!
A flare dispersed the darkness, and there was a valley below the cliff, and the town covered in ice and snow was clearly visible.
Dozens of figures stood on the edge looking down, behind them were a large number of snow engineering vehicles carrying heavy machinery used to drill into the ground.
"It is a whaling station that has been abandoned for many years. The people who once lived here disappeared mysteriously overnight. The reason has not yet been investigated," said the black woman in the group. "According to satellite images, the mysterious pyramid we are looking for is
Directly below."
The white-haired old man beside him rubbed his palms expectantly, and said with a weak but excited expression, "Then let's go down."
His name is Charles, and he is a very rich man who will not live long.
The explorers, archaeologists, chemists, mercenaries, etc. around him are all professionals he spent a lot of money to gather together.
As for the reason why they went to the barren Antarctica with all their troubles, it is even more outrageous to the point of science fiction.
A few days ago, Charles's private satellite detected an abnormal heat source in Antarctica. After some expensive exploration and scanning, he came up with an incredible answer.
There is a pyramid building hidden under the ice and frozen soil of Antarctica!
The elderly Charles is suffering from advanced lung cancer. With countless wealth, he has long been out of vulgar taste, and material things can no longer bring him satisfaction.
He wanted to do a great thing that would be passed down through the ages before he died, instead of being an ordinary businessman that no one would remember a hundred years later, so he gathered talents from all over the world and formed an exploration team to discover the secrets under Antarctica.
This is not Egypt, which is full of pyramids, but Antarctica, which is covered in ice and snow. What does the pyramids frozen in the frozen soil mean?
This pyramid is likely to be the first pyramid in the world, and it is even more likely to be the origin of civilization for all pyramids. It contains countless possibilities and may involve the biggest secret in human history.
This discovery is enough to shock the world and cause a global sensation. It is also enough to put the name of Charles Weiland in the annals of history, allowing future generations to talk about him like he was praising Magellan.
Half an hour later.
They found a huge circular hole on a mountain wall, extending downward at a thirty-degree angle with no end in sight.
The rock wall inside the cave is extremely neat and smooth, and not far from the cave entrance, there is a strange gap in a sentry tower, the size and angle of which exactly match the cave entrance, forming a straight line falling from the sky.
"We have reached the location of the pyramid," Charles pointed at the computer in disbelief. "At the same time yesterday, there was no such passage."
“No country in the world can dig a tunnel of this level in one day!” a professional said with certainty.
They all fell silent in unison, feeling strangely uneasy in their surprise.
This puzzled everyone. Even if they thought about it, they would not know that this was actually the entrance to the examination room blasted out by the main ship with a plasma beam.
"No matter what secret is hidden, we will know it when we get down." Charles pondered for a moment and said with firm eyes.
at the same time.
Thousands of meters above the Antarctic.
The main ship of the Zhuyan Tribe slowly passed by.
In a closed room, three Ironbloods stood in three directions, with a holographic projection device in the middle. The content of the picture was exactly the scene of the group of humans standing at the entrance of the cave.
It is possible to take clear pictures from such a long distance and in the wind and snow. The iron-blooded technology is indeed strong enough.
It is obvious that the pyramid is the hunting ground for the coming-of-age ceremony, and those unfortunate humans are just the cornerstones for the coming-of-age ceremony, and were deliberately lured here.
One of them is Chu Xin, and the other two are Scar and Kelte. As for Zhan Bo, who was replaced by Chu Xin, he was sent to another examination room near the solar system.
Coming of age assessment: The moment the plasma beam hits the earth, it is equivalent to the door of the examination room opening, and now it is time to wait for the test papers to be in place and the candidates to enter.
As soon as the opportunity comes, the three of them will rush to the examination room immediately.
Ten minutes later.
During the projection, a group of people began to use equipment to enter the cave and formally explore the pyramid.
"Why don't we start yet?" Kelt twisted his neck excitedly. He was already impatient and wanted to kill him right away.
Scar said nothing, as calm as a sculpture.
Chu Xin was trying hard to recall the plot in his memory and ponder the characteristics of the Alien Queen.
To be honest, I am not worried about death, because even if the head is cut off, the other two characters can be switched instantly. The Predator will return to his original state after 24 hours, unless all characters are killed.
Buzz!
At this time, the hatch behind the three people opened.
These are three single-person delivery pods that will help them reach the examination room accurately.
Chu Xin lay down in it, and the hatch quickly closed, followed by violent tremors.
call--
Three missile-like delivery bays were shot out from the main ship and fell straight into the snowy field below.
Puff puff!
The drop capsule is inserted into the thick snow.
Chu Xin walked out wearing battle armor. The equipment on his body was the "examination stationery" issued by the tribe, and the set of system rewards were stored in the card.
There are telescopic spears, disc darts, wrist knives and other cold weapons. Perhaps out of rigor and difficulty, the most powerful plasma shoulder cannon among conventional individual weapons is stored in the examination room, and you need to go in and get it yourself.
Chu Xin and the other two people looked at each other, activated their invisibility, and headed straight for the whaling station.
After entering the town, the three of them spread out.
Because ten of Charles's mercenaries were still stationed on the ground, patrolling with great vigilance.
Huhu~
In addition to the biting cold wind that was whistling non-stop from all directions, there were faint sounds like auditory hallucinations.
It was like the low breathing of some kind of beast, as if it was deliberately releasing a dangerous signal that had an intimidating effect. It instantly made the two mercenaries' scalps numb and they looked around with guns raised.
Chu Xin glanced at Celtic, who was a hundred meters away. Isn't that guy too excited?
While he was thinking this, he quietly came up behind a mercenary and stabbed him in the back of the neck with a wrist knife.
The sharp metal tore his vocal cords, and the mercenary was unable to scream until he died.
Bang bang bang!
On the other side, after attacking one person, Celtic was shot by another person. The armor was struck by bullets, revealing an obvious mosaic outline.
The sound of gunfire attracted the attention of the other mercenaries, who picked up their weapons and shot randomly.
Dark night, wind and snow, and the unknown. Under the influence of these three factors, the murderous mercenaries had already panicked at my grandma's house.
laugh!
The invisible Scar threw a spear, piercing a man carrying a light machine gun and nailing him to the wall.
call!
A flying knife flew out, and Chu Xin killed the mercenary who wanted to attack him with a backhand.
Because he is always moving, there will be a looming human figure, which is not difficult for the human eye to detect.
"ah--"
In the blink of an eye, the mercenaries were killed one by one, and soon the entire army was wiped out, with no one surviving.
Kelt and Scar hung their bodies from the rafters.
This move is full of the style of primitive tribes, with the meaning of showing off trophies and declaring honor, just like those savages in Africa who insert the skulls of beasts in front of their houses.
To put it bluntly, it is a sense of ritual.
Didi~
Chu Xin clicked on the small screen on the wristband, and the 3D perspective projection showed that Charles and his party had entered the pyramid and should be arriving at the sacrifice room soon.
According to the development of the plot, the mechanical system inside the pyramid has begun to operate, the frozen alien queen has been awakened, and the facehugger eggs are about to hatch.
The exam content for the three of them is to eliminate the aliens that will be born and survive until the end.
time does not wait!
Chu Xin jumped down first and slid along the smooth slope to the bottom.
There is a unique cave in the underground world.
Under the illumination of the mine searchlights installed by Charles and the others, an ancient and magnificent pyramid stood in the spacious rock cave. On the left and right sides of the steps, there were statues of a kneeling Predator.
It is not an Egyptian painting style, but a structure between the Mayan pyramids and the Cambodian pyramids. It looks very...evil and weird.
Especially the deep underground where no sunlight can be seen is even more chilling.
Fortunately, Chu Xin is not a human being, so he has no feelings about this. After all, the Zhuyan tribe has many more evil buildings than this one.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between the earth and the Predator is very deep.
Thousands of years ago, the orthodox iron-blooded clan discovered the earth where civilization had stagnated.
They were "well-intentioned" and came in a battleship, descending with a high profile.
The Iron-Blooded clan helps humans get out of ignorance and teaches them advanced behaviors such as construction, so they are regarded as gods.
In return, humans, under the command of the Iron-Blooded Clan, built countless pyramids, which were specially prepared for assessment and hunting grounds for minors.
Not only did they contribute, but they also contributed people at that time!
They willingly selected sacrifices, gave them to facehuggers to be parasitized, and then gave birth to aliens, and then let the minors participate in the coming-of-age ceremony once in a hundred years.
Similar situations have occurred on many planets in the galaxy. To put it bluntly, almost all civilizations have received favors from the Iron-Blooded Clan and then paid an equal price for them.
This is the unspoken rule of the galaxy established by the Iron-blooded clan for hunting.
"Roar!" Kelt turned on the projection and said angrily, "They want to take away our shoulder cannon!"
When he said this, Chu Xin and Dao Scar had already rushed out twenty meters away.
Rumble~
After they entered the pyramid, the entire building suddenly shook, the mechanical mechanism inside the rock began to change, and the return passage was blocked by stone doors weighing two tons.
…
Two minutes ago.
Charles and his party were divided into two groups. Ten people stayed in the sacrificial room above to wait. Charles himself and seven or eight black women went to the lower level.
The room below is like a claustrophobic ancient tomb, with a sarcophagus in the middle.
But when you open it, there are no corpses or treasures inside, but three strange cameras. The shape is full of technology, and it looks like some kind of alien equipment.
This scene was no less than digging up a Xuannv aerial fighter plane from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. It left a bunch of people confused and speechless for a long time.
Several gun-wielding mercenaries ignored the black woman's dissuasion and forcibly took out the three shoulder cannons and tried to take them back.
You have come, but you cannot leave empty-handed.
When all three shoulder cannons are released from the buckles, it means that the candidates are in place and the exam officially begins!
Rumble~
Accompanied by loud noises and earthquakes, the road between the two groups of people was blocked.
Especially in the sacrificial chamber at this moment, there is no chance of escape at all. They are the key to the coming-of-age ceremony and are destined to become flesh and blood bags that breed aliens.
There's a reason why it's called the Sacrifice Room~
There were seven stone beds built in the circular hall, and a skinny mummy lay on them. The sternum was exploded from the inside by something.
They were sacrifices, and so were the members of the expedition team who were now in panic.
Buzz~
Seven disgusting dark brown ellipsoids rose up from the head of the stone bed, like the eggs of some kind of insect.
When everyone was at a loss, the tip of the insect egg bloomed like a piranha, and a thin segmented limb crawled out.
hiss!!!
Immediately afterwards, giant white insects shaped like scorpions jumped out one after another, fluttering on people's faces, hugging their faces with their legs and feet, and wrapping their long tails around their necks.
The parasitic organ protrudes from the flesh slits in the abdomen, is forcibly inserted into people's mouths, goes deep into the throat, and injects the unformed alien shape into the stomach.
It only takes about ten minutes for ten aliens to burst out of their belly and then grow up rapidly in a very short time.
Screams and gunfire broke out from above, which immediately frightened Charles and others below.
They realized they had done something wrong and did not dare to stay, so they immediately left through the newly emerged passage.
…
Here is a dark passage, with statues of Predator warriors standing on the stone walls on both sides. They hold spears, as if they are judging and judging those who walk in the middle.
Chu Xin remained invisible and squatted between the two statues, looking down at Charles and others at his feet.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wristband computer can monitor the entire pyramid in real time, and Charles and his party have nothing to hide.
His goal is not to kill these meaningless hapless people, but to get back the shoulder cannon.
Woo~woo~
Using the mask's scanning function, the object was analyzed layer by layer, and a mercenary carrying a bag was quickly identified.
He nodded towards Scar across from him, indicating that he should proceed as planned.
As for Celtic, they were divided into two groups just now, because the pyramid would change its pattern every ten minutes, and Celtic went to the front area in advance to intercept.
Phew~
Scar deliberately made noise.
"There's something!"
Everyone was alert and looked around nervously.
"Over there!" the mercenary leader yelled.
But before he could shoot, Scar used the net gun first, and a large net directly bound him inside.
Every network cable is like a blade, sharp enough to cut into the alien's armor, and it will continue to shrink!
The rest of the people could only watch helplessly as the mercenary leader was cut all over the ground by the big net. They wanted to fight back but could not find the enemy.
Chu Xin took advantage of their panic and came to the back, tore open the bag carried by the target man with a knife, and three shoulder cannons fell.
He directly put his arms into his arms, knocked two or three men to the ground, jumped back onto the wall smoothly, put the largest one on his shoulders, and threw the second largest one to him.
The scar underneath.
"Wait a minute, we took their stuff! Just give it to them!" the black woman said quickly.
She raised her hands to the mosaic outline (scar) in front of her, showing what she thought was friendliness, "Hey, I'm sorry, we shouldn't..."
puff!
The wrist knife was stabbed out, and the black woman's chest was penetrated.
Scar didn't pay attention to the prey's pleas for mercy, not to mention that these prey still had rifles in their hands, and one of the men was about to pull the trigger on himself.
This is a conspiracy of cunning prey!
Scar, who is extra cautious, will not be deceived by the lies of female creatures!
Bang bang bang~
Scar disappeared into the darkness, and countless bullets opened the stone wall's eyes.
Rumble~
At this moment, the pyramid changed again, and Charles and the others fled in all directions without saying a word.
Since there were traps everywhere, he fell into the lower level without paying attention. The remaining six people were divided into one, two and three configurations.
Chu Xin silently watched them go deeper into this bloody examination room without stopping or chasing them, because the facehuggers needed a living host to transform into aliens.
"Hiss~"
At this moment, Chu Xin signaled Scar not to move, and slowly took out the disc dart with extremely gentle movements.
The beast sensor is triggered, and there is extremely strong killing intent within a radius of forty meters!
In the next second, the disc with the unfolded blade was suddenly thrown out, as fast as thunder.
At the same time, he jumped towards the aisle, turned around in mid-air, and faced where he was just now.
The three-point infrared rays on the mask were emitted, locking onto the slender silhouette moving in the field of vision.
Bang——
The hot plasma beam erupted from the muzzle and hit the black creature hiding behind a statue, causing its hard forehead to bloom on the spot.
puff--
A dart ten meters away passed over Scar's head, cutting off a long black tail that was trying to attack Scar.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Scar stabbed out the spear that instantly retracted in his hand.
"Roar!"
Another black creature was pierced through the chest, letting out a shrill and terrifying roar.
