Chapter 361 The careless iron-blooded youth and the hatched face-hugging bug

When Lu Wu arrived at the underground cave, the three iron-blooded people and humans had already entered the pyramid ahead.

There are many heavy equipment left by humans at the entrance of the cave, as well as a corpse.

This corpse was the captain of the drilling team who had stayed on the ground before, and was kicked down by the iron and blood from the entrance of the circular passage.

Fortunately, he slid a few hundred meters and hit the rock wall, but he didn’t die.

Unfortunately, a careful young man with iron blood stabbed him in the chest later.

Lu Wu confirmed that he was dead and stopped paying attention. He used his limbs to quickly rush to the mysterious pyramid.

The cave is very huge and extending in all directions, and it is still formed naturally, without any trace of artificial excavation.

The entire island of Bouvet is equivalent to a shell covering the cave.

But the pyramid is easy to find, because it is so conspicuous.

Standing at the foot of the pyramid, Lu Wu is equivalent to a grain of rice, and it is an elephant.

The tower body is not the regular-shaped triangle in the impression, but incorporates the characteristics of many civilizations.

It’s like piecing together all the civilizations in the world with pyramid-like buildings.

Aztec, Egypt, Cambodia, every civilization can find its own part of it.

An archaeologist in the expedition once told Wieland that this may be the first pyramid in the world, and it has immeasurable research value for the development of various civilizations.

Unfortunately, neither Wieland nor Lu Wu are interested in studying this big guy.

Lu Wu felt that this thing was very strange, and then entered the inside of the pyramid.

Everything here seems to be an enlarged version. It is no problem to drive a tank in just by the entrance hall.

There are various frescoes engraved on the stone walls of the corridor, many of which are scenes of the battle between iron and blood and aliens.

But the humans who go in don’t understand this, so they don’t take it seriously.

During the journey, Lu Wu found a concave stone slab on the ground, which was the switch of the entire pyramid.

After it is triggered, it means that the sacrifice is in place, and the trial is about to begin.

The alien queen with fertility has been awakened from her slumber and is producing a steady stream of alien eggs.

With a keen sense of hearing, Lu Wu could hear the roar of the Queen Mother at the bottom of the pyramid.

Time was running out and he had to speed up a bit.

And when Lu Wu was on his way, the first wave of humans who entered this place stepped into the altar prepared for them in ignorance.

In the circular sacrificial tomb, more than a dozen stone beds were placed vertically in a circle.

On each bed lay a corpse.

Because it is too cold here, it is difficult for microorganisms to survive, which greatly slows down the rate of decay.

Therefore, even if it has been a hundred years since the last time the altar was opened, it is still possible to see what these sacrifices looked like when they were alive.

They were male and female, wearing culturally distinctive costumes, with their hands folded on their abdomens, and they lay peacefully on the stone bed.

There are no traces of ropes or chains on his body, which proves that he is voluntary.

But their expressions were all painful, as if they had suffered a great deal of torture before they died, and the source of the torture was the large hole in their chests that was more than ten centimeters in diameter.

Ribs were forcibly broken from the inside out, and his chest was pierced, as if something had come out of his body.

The archaeologist’s assistant Thomas, holding a DV, read out the ancient text carved on the stone bed while filming.

“They gave their lives and the hunt could begin.”

Everyone studied for a long time, but did not understand what the ‘hunting’ represented.

At this time, Wieland’s bodyguard and security captain Max, a tall black male, found what looked like a ventilation shaft in the center of the tomb floor.

The metal cover engraved with special-shaped floating wither is fixed at the wellhead to prevent someone from falling

He immediately threw the two light sticks down the gap of the lid, confirming that there was still a room below.

When Wieland heard about it, he planned to take someone to see it.

Max immediately arranged for a female security guard and assistant Thomas, as well as some personnel, to keep inventory of equipment, and the rest continued to move forward.

With eyes, the honest-looking assistant did not want to be separated from the archaeologist, but the cold expression of the security captain made him dare not refuse.

Helpless, Thomas had no choice but to smile at the short-haired female security guard beside him, as a gesture of goodwill.

If she encounters danger later, I hope she can take care of herself.

But the pretty-looking female security guard was obviously not interested in a dull engineering man like him, so she glanced at him and walked away.

On the other side, the owner Wieland and his party soon came to the room directly below the sacrificial tomb.

The area here is twice as large as the tomb above, and there is a passage to other places on the left and right sides.

On the stone platform in the middle, there is a giant sarcophagus.

The explorer Lex Wood, who was at the front of the group, called in the archaeologist Sebastian and asked him to identify the images and words on the sarcophagus.

Sebas, who was handsome in appearance and far surpassed his assistants, stepped forward. With his superb archaeological experience, he quickly determined that the images and words on the sarcophagus were based on the combination of the Mayan long calendar and the Aztec solar calendar. A combination lock.

The three rotatable roulettes represent the year, month, and day.

Now the date shown above is October 10, 1904, which is just one hundred years after them, which means that the last time the sarcophagus was opened was one hundred years ago.

Curiosity prompted Sebas to turn the wheel to today, October 10, 2004.

In the end, as expected, the sarcophagus clicked and automatically extended like a drawer.

After waiting for a few seconds, everyone found that there was no danger, and then they surrounded it.

When the white fog in the coffin dissipated, they did not see the body, but three strange long-shaped devices.

The three items have a metallic luster as a whole, gray-black, and the surface is covered with simple lines, like some kind of weapon, similar to a firearm, and a bit like a grenade launcher.

Wieland, the only one who could recognize this thing, looked a little excited.

He already had problems with his body, and when he was emotionally excited, he even found it difficult to breathe.

He had no choice but to step aside and take a deep breath of oxygen behind the crowd.

The careful Lex noticed this, and suggested to everyone to go back to the whaling station to rest, and come back tomorrow morning.

Captain Max and others were reluctant to leave so easily.

Lex was very angry. The group had discussed before coming here. For the sake of safety, they had to obey her orders along the way and not act without authorization. As a result, they changed their minds after a long time.

She strongly refuted the captain, and she was very likely to withdraw from the expedition at any time.

Max had to set his sights on Verlander, who could really make the decision.

Wieland knew his physical condition and could no longer support him to continue his exploration, so he agreed with Lex’s suggestion.

But the contents of the sarcophagus must be taken away.

As a result, several security guards, including Max, immediately started to take out the contents of the coffin.

After researching for a long time, Sebas finally realized that he wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

When the last item was removed, the device inside the sarcophagus was instantly activated.

After the souring sound of gears, the entire pyramid began to change its original structure like a building block.

The original passage has become a dead end, but the original dead end has an additional passage.

Some of the ground rises a flight of stairs leading to other places, while others sink into bottomless potholes.

The way Lex and the others came was also cut off by a stone gate weighing several tons.

The same is true for the sacrificial burial chamber directly above, where everyone is trapped.

One second was an exciting archaeological paradise, and the next second it became a cage for them.

With a rustling sound of stones rubbing against each other, a circular gap opened automatically in the stone bed of the tomb.

Alien eggs covered with greasy mucus are continuously sent up like an assembly line.

Through the slightly transparent egg wall, you can still vaguely see something twitching inside.

The female security guard named Rousseau pointed the gun at the alien egg vigilantly.

Before entering the pyramid, Lex also disputed her carrying a gun.

She said, even if you don’t use it, it’s better than not using it.

Now, her gun does come in handy.

“What did you say this room was called?”

Hearing Rousseau’s question, his assistant Thomas, who was already trembling next to him, said tremblingly, “Sacrifice…the tomb.”

As soon as they finished speaking, there was an oval shaped egg in front of the two of them, the top of which was separated into four petals like a flower, revealing the tender flesh and white connective tissue inside, which looked extremely disgusting.

Then, a spider-like creature was drilled out of it. Its yellow-white skin was like a corpse that had been soaked in formalin for many years. , jumped out of the egg sheath.

Beneath the abdomen, the mouthparts that occupy the entire body are opened and headed straight for people’s faces.

It all happened so fast that Rousseau was hit by the face-hugging bug before he could shoot.

The huge force directly pulled her to the ground, the eight limbs hugged her head, and the long tail wrapped around her neck.

The retractable tube-shaped mouthpart pried open her mouth and burrowed into it brutally.

At the same time, none of the other people in the tomb were spared and were attacked one after another. The screams they made could even be heard by Lex and others directly below.

The security captain immediately contacted his subordinate Rousseau through the walkie-talkie, and Sebas also eagerly called out the name of his assistant.

Unfortunately, they didn’t get any response after all.

Lex directly questioned Wieland if he was hiding something from her.

Wieland remained stubborn, claiming that he knew as much as anyone else.

Faced with this situation, the safest way is to leave immediately. Lex thinks so and intends to do so.

As a result, the security captain Max told her that her work was over and took out the prepared firearms.

“I have an obligation, and a responsibility, to protect Mr. Wieland’s life.”

The rest of the security’s actions were exactly the same as his, checking the magazines, pulling the bolts, and assuming a fighting stance.

Lex originally thought that the suitcases they were carrying were research instruments, but they didn’t expect that they were all weapons. Obviously, they were not here to explore, but to participate in the war.

On the other side, the three young iron-blooded men also knew the news that their weapons had been taken away, and immediately sped up to the area where Lex and others were located.

In the original plan, it should have been after they got the weapon that the aliens began to hatch.

However, due to the advance of mankind, unpredictable variables occurred, which greatly affected their chances of completing this trial.

So, the Predators must get things back as soon as possible.

Nowadays, human beings are escaping, aliens are developing, and three young people are looking for their own weapons. Only Lu Wu is the most leisurely, wandering around in the pyramid.

The main purpose is to get acquainted with the next battlefield.

Excellent hunter instinct, allowing him to come and go inside the intricate pyramid.

There is no such thing as getting lost.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that there are no plants and no grass.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But it’s innocuous, he’s not like in the game only relying on the grass to jump around.

Not long after, Lu Wu came to the periphery of the sacrificial tomb and found a way in at a higher position.

The tomb appears to be closed, but that doesn’t mean there is nowhere to go.

It’s just that the people inside can’t find it, otherwise how should the hatched aliens get out.

Falling silently from a position three or four meters above the ground, Lu Wu entered the tomb.

There were more than a dozen people lying in front of them, and everyone’s face was occupied by face-hugging bugs.

There was only Rousseau, who was attacked first, with a clean face.

The dead body of the face-hugging bug next to her indicates that she has been parasitized.

Lu Wu was still very curious about the alien creature, so he took out the bone knife for dissecting the prey, and planned to study the body structure of the face-hugging bug.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to squat down, the sound of breaking the air came from his ears.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a face-hugging bug with its teeth and claws, shaking its intestine-like tail, and pounced on his big hairy face.

The bone knife shot instantly, pierced the insect’s mouthparts, and nailed it to the floor.

Although the bone knife has a bone character, it cuts iron like mud, just a little bug, no different from cutting tofu.

Lu Wu got up and walked to the face-hugging bug.

It wasn’t dead yet, and its eight nailed legs kept struggling, and the yellow-green viscous blood flowed to the ground, making a creaking sound, corroding the pits.

A pungent sour gas rushed to his face, causing Lu Wu, who had a keen sense of smell, to almost spit it out on the spot.

He had to hold his breath and stretched out his claws to break off a bug’s leg.

It’s a bit disgusting, but it’s still a trophy.

It’s a pity that this thing is too weak to even trigger his predator passive.

Tie the worm’s legs around his waist~www.readmtl.com~ Lu Wu completely disassembled the face-hugging worm and basically understood its body structure.

Then, he came to the side of the dead face-hugging bug that had completed the parasitism.

There seems to be some difference between the two. The second one has completed its historical mission, and its body has become silicified and hardened, and it is cut like some kind of stone. The blood in the body has also been neutralized and is no longer corrosive.

In conclusion, this is a very amazing creature.

If it weren’t for the fact that humans who don’t have long eyes took the initiative to send them to the door, with the complicated and cumbersome incubation method of aliens, they would have been extinct long ago.

Just when Lu Wu started his research, the female security guard next to him twitched a few times, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes.

The name of the heroine of the movie should be Lex Wood, not Chris. I said why it feels more and more wrong.
