Chapter 30: The Ice Crisis (25)

In this way, the life fluctuation that I sensed was likely to come from a different race, which would be amazing. For this xenomorph, Xia Yu is still very interested, generally this kind of race that only exists in legends in the game, how much will hide some background stories, ancient legends, game secrets and the like, maybe this xenomorph is the key to figuring out the background story of this game.

While thinking, Xia Yu walked straight through the door, but inside was a smooth corridor, although it was slightly dilapidated due to time, but the smooth and flat ground and swarthy rock walls still made Luo and Ying show a shocked look, the two had obviously never seen such a Inside the modern' building, although the ancient ruins near the tribe are not small, most of them are dilapidated, and nothing can be seen, but the building hidden under the volcano in front of them is still very intact, which suddenly made the two people who are still living in the primitive society dumbfounded.

Xia Yu looked at the surrounding environment but became more and more sure of his guess, the architectural style here is obviously some kind of secret base and other places, it seems that the civilization level of xenomorphs is not low, but this technology tree may be a little crooked, and the biotechnology can also make a group of primitive people be wiped out.

Passing through the corridor, the door to the interior was opened, and after entering, there was a hall inside, and a metal box was placed in the middle of the hall, and the life fluctuation that Xia Yu felt came from there.

Xia Yu walked over, there was a glass cover on the metal box, looked through the glass, and found that there was indeed a person lying inside, but strictly speaking, he was not sure if it was a human being, because although it looked a bit like a human, the physiological structure and body proportions were obviously wrong.

This person has a slender body, I am afraid that he must have a height of about two meters, but the body and limbs are very slender, and in comparison, the head is a little too large, and the size is disproportionate, giving people a feeling that he must be very smart.

At this time, this person was wearing a tights, holding his shoulders with his hands, lying in a very elegant mummy-like posture, his face was lifelike, and he could even vaguely see the water vapor that appeared on the glass cover when he breathed, this person was still alive! This coffin-like thing can't be some kind of dormant chamber, right? Is there still such a technology?

Xia Yu sighed in her heart, but Ying exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's a xenomorph!" I've seen them on my grandmother's tapestry, and he seems to be alive, but how could it be, weren't the xenos wiped out a long time ago? ”

Luo Leng snorted: "It seems that one was missed, but it doesn't matter, now they are really going to be completely wiped out." ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and was about to cut it down.

Xia Yu hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, don't you want to ask him what's going on here?" And the grudge between you and the aliens back then? ”

Luo: "My grandmother has told us that the xenomorphs brutally enslave us humans and torture us, and we will rise up to fight and exterminate them, so what is there to ask?" ”

"It's better to ask, after all, he may be the last alien, maybe he knows some secrets, and it's not too late for you to do it when he finishes speaking."

Luo hesitated, but nodded, and the two of them pushed the glass cover to the side, and a cold air suddenly gushed out inside, and as the air flowed in, the xenomorph's body spasmed, and it seemed that he was a little out of breath, and finally recovered, and slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the two of them and a leopard, this person immediately fell into extreme fear and anger again.

"How did you ape-men find here? You shouldn't be here! Ahem, damn it, you won't even let me, the last human, go! ”

Luo and Ying were all angry, "Ape Man, you are the Ape Man, your whole family is an Ape, we are human beings, you damn alien!" ”

Who knew that the big-headed man was even angrier than Luo and Ying, "Xenomorphs! You call me a xenomorph, and you dare to call yourself human, you shameless scum, beasts who don't know gratitude, and even the word human is what we taught you. ”

Luo was angry and pulled out his knife and was about to cut it, but Xia Yu stopped him, and sure enough, there was a story, he said in his heart.

"So what the hell is going on here?"

The man was taken aback when he saw Xia Yu speak: "You, can you speak?" Are you the legendary spirit animal? ”

Xia Yu nodded as a matter of course, "That's right, I'm a spirit beast, how come you know my existence?" ”

The man had a miserable look on his face, "Of course I know that the prophecy has foreshadowed all this, but I never thought that the legend turned out to be true, so the final end has come?" ”

Luo: "Prophecy? What prophecy? Is it a prophecy about the end and spirit animals? ”

The man opened his mouth, but asked, "Why am I telling you?" ”

"If you don't say it, I'll kill you!" Luo said as he put the knife directly on the man's neck.

The man obviously winced, but immediately his heart turned to the sidelines, "Hmph, anyway, the end has come, you and I can't escape death, what do I have to be afraid of." ”

"If you don't say it, I'll cut you into pieces and feed them to the spirit beast!"

Xia Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu wouldn't eat this thing.

But he also wanted to hear what was going on, but he didn't say anything, but bared his fangs, "What else to cut, just gnaw like this, I'm not a picky eater." "After speaking, he was going to bite.

The man was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't move, I said it's not okay!" ”

After speaking, seeing Luo's smug expression, he suddenly sneered, "But even if you know the origin of all this, it is useless, you are destined to be doomed." ”

"Talk less nonsense, talk faster."

The man said no more, and began to speak, "All of this starts thousands of years ago. ”

Thousands of years ago! Luo and Ying were immediately shocked again, but this time they didn't count on their fingers, knowing that they couldn't count.

Xia Yu didn't react, this kind of legend in the game is generally more exaggerated than the other, not from tens of thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years ago, human beings, or aliens, were favored by the gods, rose to the depths of the continent, they conquered all directions, continued to fight and kill, established a powerful civilization and kingdom, they worshipped the gods, built magnificent temples, and ruled the world with faith and wisdom.

However, when humanity was at its most prosperous, one day the gods they believed in suddenly left, and before leaving, the gods told the people that the ice age was coming, and hoarfrost would envelop the whole world, and that only by going to the primordial land in the southern sea could they find salvation, and left a prophecy.

[The white storm is coming, all things will eventually disappear, and the last survivors will open the future century, the spirit beast will be born in the world, bringing the psalm of destruction, and the omen of doom will emerge, everything will be in vain. 】。

This apocalyptic prophecy was once so fearful that it was debated about whether or not to go to the southern sea in search of the source of the void, but as time went on, this fear gradually subsided, and even God's prophecy was dismissed as nonsense.

Thousands of years passed, and as the weather became colder and colder, the northern part of the continent was gradually covered with ice and snow, and it was only then that people realized that the end was really coming.

Humans had to move to the south of the continent, but glaciers followed, and cold and storms gradually swallowed everything.

Their tribe could only continue to migrate south, and when they finally came to the southern coast, facing the vast sea, they finally fell into a desperate situation.

Some people began digging holes in the ground to store food in preparation for the harsh winter that would last for an unknown amount of time.

But there was also a group of people, unwilling to give up like this, they remembered the prophecy, so they built many large ships, and sailed towards the sea in the south, they sailed aimlessly on the sea, hoping to find the legendary place of origin, and finally they crossed the sea to this volcanic island, where the climate is hot, and there are volcanoes to provide heat, it seems to be very suitable as the last refuge of the end times, not only that, but on the island they also found some strange phenomena, the water and soil here seem to have a wonderful power, Both plants and animals have shown some degree of variation.

They felt that this must be the legendary place of origin, and that perhaps they could escape the invasion of hoarfrost here.

So the people settled on the island and built a city, believing them to be the prophesied 'ultimate survivors'.

At the same time, they also began to study the mutation ability of the island, which seemed to come from somewhere underground, gradually absorbed by plants through groundwater, and animals absorbed this power through the fruits and leaves of the plants, and finally spread to the entire island.

They also want to master this power, and they want to use it to transform their bodies for the coming ice age.

To ensure safety, they first experimented on some of the island's apes, but the experiment failed, and instead of growing thick fur, these apes lost their original hair and became naked apes.

This change was obviously not a success, as their goal was to make the subjects grow thick hairs to resist the cold, and now they are not as cold resistant as they used to be.

But what I didn't expect was that the IQ of these apes began to improve by leaps and bounds, they gradually no longer wanted to be controlled, and what was even more terrifying was that these apes had terrible violent tendencies, and suddenly one night, an ape somehow opened the cage and released all the test subjects, and they attacked humans frantically.

Cities were destroyed, humans were slaughtered, and the remnants of humanity had to flee the city, making their way through jungles and wilderness, eventually ending up with only a dozen people fleeing into the canyons of the volcano.

Originally used as a cave for mining ore, it was converted into a laboratory for extracting mysterious powers from underground.

At this time, in order to survive, in order to take revenge, they did not care about being cautious, and began to directly carry out human body transformation, injecting a large amount of this energy, but the results of the transformation were very unsatisfactory, and the transformed individuals were strangely shaped, completely turned into monsters, some were killed by their companions after going crazy, some were self-destructive, and some even died directly in the process of transformation.

In the end, he was left alone with more than a dozen people, and he was completely desperate, and at this time, he suddenly had an epiphany, and the last survivor said that it should not be a group of people, but a person, so as the last human being, he was destined to survive and start a new era.

So he gave up his hatred, sealed the cave, and went into a dormant chamber, ready to sleep until the end of the day.
