Chương 269: Chapter 250 Broken Chest
Elizabeth Shaw looked at the environment of this planet curiously through the mask.
She exhaled a light stream of warm air onto her mask, and whispered, "This place feels like Earth..."
Her boyfriend Holloway came up to her, looking even more excited: "According to the murals we found, there is the secret of human origin here!"
Xiao was silent for a moment: "The creator of mankind?"
She is an archaeologist who has unearthed a large number of ancient murals on Earth.
These murals come from different eras and civilizations, but they all describe the same starry sky.
Following the guidance of these ancient messages, coupled with the support of a large enterprise "Wyland Corporation".
They found the planet.
But they are not here to investigate why the ancient civilizations on Earth all simultaneously depicted an alien planet.
It seems that Weyland Corporation has known about this planet for a long time.
As the Earth's environment becomes increasingly harsh, the company dispatches an entire colony group.
Among them were ordinary people who came to develop a new life, as well as well-equipped colonial troops.
As for Shaw and Holloway, they were only hired as "consultants" as scientists.
This is contrary to the two's ideas. They are willing to come here to explore the origin of mankind.
In those ancient murals, there is a vague hint that the creator of mankind came from here.
As the two were looking at the lush green scene in front of them and marveling at it, the colonists got off the aircraft one after another.
I have to say that the environment of this planet is indeed very suitable for colonization.
After testing the external environment, some brave colonists took off their masks and took a deep breath of the outside air.
Seeing this, Xiao and Holloway also took off their masks.
"My God, the air here is much fresher than on Earth!" Holloway exclaimed.
Then he joked, "We have been lying in the hibernation chamber and traveling in the universe for so many years. Do you think human civilization on Earth has been destroyed by now?"
Xiao smiled and said, "How is that possible? Even if humanity is in a survival crisis, those big companies that monopolize the entire world will 'save humanity' for their own benefit."
Then she changed the subject and looked at the colonists who were driving a multi-purpose vehicle to explore the plains, frowning and saying:
"The environment here is very similar to Earth. I'm afraid there are many native species. Isn't it a bit too early to start exploring freely now?"
"We have an army." A deep male voice came from behind her to answer her.
She turned her head and saw a man with neat short blond hair and a high nose bridge walking towards her with elegance and precision.
The man continued to answer her questions:
"We have colonial armies and state-of-the-art weaponry, and the Prometheus is also equipped with weapon systems that can target large-scale enemies from high altitude if necessary—if they exist."
"Behind the Prometheus, there is another large colony ship, the Covenant, which is on its way and will arrive soon. We have plenty of firepower."
"Hmm..." Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "David, you are right. In that case, please bring us some weapons. We also want to go out and explore."
The man named "David" - or rather, the android created by humans - said politely:
"Okay, I will provide you two with some weapons for self-defense, but I'm sorry, those weapons belonging to the colonial army cannot be provided to non-military personnel."
"It's okay, thank you David."
Shaw and Holloway had just grabbed their weapons when they heard a scream in the distance.
The terrified cry made everyone look up.
I saw a multi-purpose terrain vehicle rolling over the potholes and rocks on the ground, and stumbling towards us.
Why did its driving condition look a little strange?
Xiao looked at it with wide eyes in confusion.
As the vehicle swayed, a black object clinging to the back of the vehicle became faintly visible.
"Bang!"
Before she could see clearly, the colonist closest to the car had already taken out a shotgun with a solemn look on
his face and fired a shot at the back of the car! A black shadow passed by everyone at an extremely fast speed, jumped off the car, and quickly disappeared into the trees next to it.
The vehicle drove into the crowd and everyone immediately gathered around it, gasping at the tragic situation on the car.
"Wow..." A little girl curled up in the passenger seat, her face covered with red and black liquid, and she kept crying.
The person driving the vehicle should be her mother, who was leaning on the steering wheel with her hands covering her chest, her expression distorted and full of pain.
In the back seat of the car, there was an unconscious man lying.
This is a typical colonist family of three.
Many ordinary families have no hope of living on Earth, or simply want to leave their current home planet.
They boarded a spaceship and arrived at an alien planet after a long hibernation, starting a new life.
But before this family had time to look forward to the future, reality had already fallen apart.
Everyone worked together to carry the woman with a look of pain on her face and the unconscious man out of the car.
The doctor rushed over with a medical kit.
But it was David who arrived earlier.
He is a bionic man manufactured and launched by Weiland Corporation.
Artificial intelligence has brought him nearly omnipotent learning ability and profound knowledge.
After checking the conditions of the two, he simply treated the wound on the woman's chest.
When the doctor arrived, he immediately said, "This lady's wounds show signs of acid burns and require special treatment."
As the doctor began to resuscitate the two men, the colonists who were watching were talking about it.
"What hurt them?"
"I saw it. There was a monster clinging to their car!"
The colonist who fired the gun also came. The middle-aged man with a full beard said seriously,
"I saw it. It was a black creature, about the size of a medium-sized dog. It reacted quickly, so I didn't shoot it."
Everyone was worried.
"The family had guns, but there was no sign of them having used them. The creature that attacked them was so fast that they had no time to react."
"This is horrible! I knew we shouldn't have been out exploring so early. Where's the army? They're supposed to protect us!"
"Some soldiers went out exploring fully armed and have not returned yet."
"Everyone calm down, and stop exploring outside. We will protect your safety." At this time, the colonial army also rushed to the scene and made assurances to the panicked people.
Xiao turned around, left the noisy scene, went to the other side of the car, and looked at the little girl who was still curled up in the seat.
The girl caught a glimpse of her coming from the corner of her eye, but still curled up in place, shivering all over.
"Hey, don't worry." Xiao softened his voice and said, "You are safe now, come with me and get out of the car."
She slowly reached out her hand, but the girl turned away.
"&#..."
"Hmm?" Xiao seemed to hear her whisper something, "What do you want to say?"
After a moment of silence, a very faint voice came from the little girl:
"Monsters, so many monsters..."
"So many monsters?" Xiao was about to continue asking when he heard the rustling sound of bushes shaking behind him.
"…"
In an instant, an extreme fear coming from biological instinct spread throughout the body.
Her mind went blank in an instant and her body completely stiffened, as if she had sensed the approach of death from the faint rustling sound.
However, she suppressed her instinctive stiffness and turned around slowly.
"rustle."
The bushes moved under her nose.
Her sharp eyes enabled her to discover the faint hint of black in this giant alien plant that was 1.7 meters tall.
Her heart stopped for a moment.
Looking closely, the black color seemed to be in the shape of some kind of horn, glowing faintly.
There are some very fine lines on it, like muscle sections or closely arranged bones, as exquisite as sculptures.
The next moment, the black color disappeared, as if it was an illusion of hers.
A sudden noise broke out from the crowd behind him.
She turned her head sharply.
I saw the unconscious man who had just been carried onto the stretcher was twitching continuously in his chest.
