v5 Chapter 14： Ugly rejection

At the request of Pete Welland, the search team quickly completed a series of preparations.

Ethan also changed into the equipment on the Prometheus, and it was Hill who went with him.

Logan and Ida did not go together. They stayed on the Prometheus, ostensibly to monitor Meredith, to prevent her from doing any drastic things, such as directly ordering the Prometheus to lift off and taking all People thrown on this planet or something.

Although Ethan is not afraid of this happening, as long as Logan stays on the boat, the other party will not do it, which can save a lot of trouble-it can make the mentally retarded group continue to work hard.

This time Elizabeth did not make any'high-level comments' on the preparation of weapons by Jackson, Ethan and others, because now it is no longer her turn to give orders from the'part-time job'. Here is the big boss, Pete Wayland, even if she wants to. What to say, Charlie, who had a better brain than hers, also stopped her in time.

Even if he still thinks that this is a purely scientific expedition and does not require weapons, he cannot guarantee that he will not encounter any danger, especially when Pete Welland is also involved. problem…

Under this circumstance, Charlie was not in the mood to complain about the robot David, who actually put on himself a hood like an ordinary person. Everyone was doing preparations quietly, and then quietly got in the car and turned towards the distant one. Construction advances.

The search team successfully entered the target building. The process went smoothly. At this moment, the Prometheus sent a signal.

"The silica storm is here, you better withdraw within fifteen minutes."

Ganeck’s advice was normal, but neither Pete Welland nor the determined Elizabeth Shaw refused to retreat at this time.

Just kidding, they finally came here, and they want to leave when they are about to get the answer? Even Charlie, who still had some sense, couldn't accept it.

"We will not be threatened by the storm here. We can wait until the storm is over before going back."

"We don't know how long the storm will last. I strongly recommend that you return immediately, otherwise you will be in trouble if the oxygen in the protective suit runs out."

At this time, the exploration team has also completed the analysis of the air composition in this ‘cave’, and they found that the air in this place does not have that high carbon dioxide content.

Charlie really started to die like the original plot, this guy actually wants to take off the hood.

Seeing the behavior of these scientists, Hill frowned and wanted to stop, but Ethan stopped her: "Let them do it... After all, this is the last madness."

Charlie took off the hood, and Elizabeth took off the hood soon after.

Several other scientists wanted to do the same, but when they turned their heads, they found that Ethan was still standing there, and then looked at the two men with foolish eyes.

"Hey."

Geologist Feifield waved at Ethan, making Ethan look at him.

"The air here is breathable, don't you take off the hood?"

Because of Feifield's question, Wayland, who originally wanted to take off the hood, stopped his movements and quietly looked at Ethan and Hill who were still wearing the hood.

"I know the air here can breathe, but what about it? Do you think you can breathe in a completely strange planet just because the air can breathe?"

Ethan’s words made a few scientists a little bit puzzled, but several experienced security consultants understood it for the first time.

The oldest and most experienced Wayland immediately stopped his actions, and even prevented David from trying to help.

"I will wear it."

"Okay, sir."

David has taken off his hood, but he is a robot. Although he was aware of the problem, he did not put the hood back on.

Feifield did not understand Ethan's words, and continued to ask: "What does this mean?"

"The air in some quarantine areas is also harmless to humans. Would you walk in without wearing any protective equipment?"

These scientists are not stupid. They just live too much in their own world, focus on the things they are interested in, and don’t think comprehensively about many things.

With someone taking the lead, he immediately followed suit, without bothering to think about the consequences.

Ethan said so clearly that the few people who wanted to take off the hood gave up the idea, and even those who just took off immediately put the hood back on again.

Only Charlie and Elizabeth are more embarrassed now. Charlie also realized that he had done a stupid thing, but was a little bit awkward, so he looked at Elizabeth with the hood in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a possibility after all."

Elizabeth is more vigilant than Charlie and firmly supports her husband, but Charlie is more normal than her. He feels that his face is not as important as the lives of himself and Elizabeth, and in the end he still wears his head cover obediently. Went back.

Ethan specifically said to two people at this time: "After you go back, remember to conduct a full range of clean-ups and careful physical examinations, and until you get reassuring results, the two of you will be quarantined."

"We have nothing to do."

"It's not up to you whether there is anything."

Elizabeth was continuously choked by Ethan and was speechless, but in this case, no one supported them at all, and several other scientists even blamed these two guys in their hearts for cheating them-after all, these two people took the lead in picking them up. Hood.

"In this case, if the storm lasts too long, will we carry enough oxygen?"

This is the biggest problem right now. I originally thought that the air in this cave could breathe. It was a solution to a problem. They can explore here with confidence and wait for the storm to pass before returning to the Prometheus.

But now it seems that even if there is oxygen to breathe, they must prevent various unknown dangers. They still have to rely on the oxygen they carry. If the oxygen runs out and the storm has not passed...

"Enough..."

What makes everyone unable to understand is that on what judgment did Ethan give such a positive answer?

What they don't know is that in Ethan's view, the plot has changed now, and the search team, who are all trapped here because of the storm, probably won't be able to live until the moment when the oxygen runs out.

Even if these people did not remove their hoods because of their own reminders, it does not mean that these people are safe.

Because of the entry of the search team, this seems to be a place where the building is actually a spacecraft. Some objects that have fallen into a'dormant' state because of the seal will'wake up'—the kind that can parasitize in the organism, and then gain genes to form a new The black liquid of life.

In the following time, Ethan did not make any comments, but quietly followed the search team around here.

They found the room with piles of ‘jars’, and also found the bodies of several engineers.

Elizabeth and Charlie are very excited. These findings prove that all their previous inferences are correct.

Wayland is also very excited, which seems to mean that his chances of getting a new life have become greater.

Hill is very curious. When he joined Ethan’s team, he rarely participated in Ethan’s various “plane activities”. This was the first time she officially participated in this type of action, and she truly saw a new life. Body and another civilization.

She realized that she had missed too many things before, and it seemed that she would have to participate in this kind of activity often in the future.

"What are these things?"

"Some kind of weapon that can destroy a planet."

Seeing all the scientists scattered around to search and inspect, Hill took the opportunity to inquire about Ethan.

She noticed that Ethan always kept a certain distance from these jars. Not only did he have no curiosity, but he even looked a little disgusted and disgusted. It was obvious that he knew what these were.

But she never thought that these things were such dangerous things.

A weapon capable of destroying a planet?

"This kind of black matter preserved in it can be parasitic in the body of most organisms in the universe. UU Reading adjusts and optimizes its own genes through the host's genes, and finally becomes a more powerful organism. ."

Ethan briefly introduced this thing.

"You should know what this thing is, in fact, this thing is an alien..."

Hill's face became very weird. Of course she had watched the classic movie, but the Alien doesn't seem to be like this, right? Isn't it a bug egg?

"That is a more complete product after improvement, these...you can use it as a prototype."

The monster created by this black liquid after parasitism does not seem to have a fixed form. At least David'poisoned' into Charlie's body, and then was born after Charlie was infected with Elizabeth. It looks like an octopus, and this octopus passes through the parasite engineer. , The new life form after being born again is closer to that famous alien.

After staying in this ‘weapon warehouse’ for a while, everyone continued to explore in the cave, and it didn’t take long for them to finally find the control room.

After a period of groping, coupled with the existence of David, a robot that has already studied the language of engineers, they quickly figured out that what they were in was not a cave or a temple, but an engineer’s spacecraft.

Hill looked at the cab, she suddenly thought of something.

"Since you are here to find a spaceship, why not this one?"

This spaceship should have no owner now, right? It's easier to drive away than to take the Prometheus.

But Ethan shook his head firmly.

"This spaceship is so ugly, I don't want to open a bagel and venture in the universe..."
