chapter 0107 part 2
...
Above Antarctica, the Predator Elder controlled its Personal Craft. A Holographic Projection of the Pyramid, located two thousand Feet beneath the Ice Sheet, appeared before its eyes.
Within the outline of the Pyramid formed by dashed lines, a line of Heat Sources moving towards the bottom of the Pyramid was particularly eye-catching.
"*$%u*..."
The Predator Elder looked at the Heat Sources displayed on the Pyramid, his thick finger tracing their direction of movement. He suddenly turned his head and roared a few simple syllables at a Predator behind him.
That Predator nodded, turned around, and adjusted its Wrist Device!
...
Boom! Reaching the bonfire before Big Beard was the Predator's Shoulder Cannon strike! The Shockwave, comparable to the simultaneous explosion of several High-Explosive Grenades, directly blew Big Beard away.
Fragments of the exploded Gasoline Drum, blown away by the blast, riddled him like a sieve.
Under a Shockwave of this intensity, the Force unleashed by ordinary fragments was enough to tear through the best Bulletproof Vests on the market.
Big Beard, who had fallen to the Ground, barely managed to open his eyes. Before him, the Air seemed to shed a veil, and a tall figure appeared in front of him, a Wrist Blade in its hand rapidly slashing towards his head.
Upon seeing this fully armed Predator, Big Beard finally realized that the two they had hunted earlier, who only wore masks and Shoulder Cannons, seemed to be mere novices among these Alien Creatures.
Hiss! Mercilessly cutting off the Prey's head, the Predator quickly turned around. Its Shoulder Cannon fired first, blasting a Mercenary who was hiding behind a Bunker and preparing to shoot at it, along with the Bunker, straight to heaven.
"Ding!"
Just as the Predator was about to search for remaining enemies, its Wrist Device suddenly lit up. It tapped the Wrist Device, checked the Information on it, then silently entered Stealth Mode and walked towards the Underground Tunnel within the Whaling Station.
Elsewhere, in the Personnel Dormitory of the Abandoned Whaling Station, a Predator with messy thick braids pulled a Throwing Disc from a Mercenary's chest and threw it backhanded.
The Throwing Disc spun at high speed, directly cutting through a Heavy Iron Door and slicing more than half of the neck of a Mercenary hiding behind the door.
At this moment, a message was also projected onto the Wrist Device on its wrist. Upon receiving the Information, the Predator also abandoned its plan to clear the Scene and turned directly towards the target point.
The heavy snow covered the entire Whaling Station in a blanket of silver. In front of the Underground Tunnel leading to the Pyramid, even with a snow-sheltering roof set up, the entire tunnel entrance was covered in a layer of snow as thick as a heel.
Three Predators stood by the edge of the pit. Without any communication, they leaped down directly into the two-thousand-Feet Deep Pit.
Not long after these three Predators jumped into the Deep Pit, a black shadow as thick as a Chopsticks followed closely behind, also darting into the Deep Pit.
...
Jacob walked at the front, controlling his Scarabs Swarm to explore the various Tunnels of the Pyramid.
The dense Scarabs Swarm filled the various Tunnels of the Pyramid at a speed comparable to a tide.
Their numbers were simply too vast, so much so that even the few Xenomorph Runners had to retreat far away and flee in panic when they saw them.
Although these Beetles were only the size of a coin, their entire Bone structure was astonishingly hard, and their Sharp Teeth could easily leave marks on hard human Bone.
In a head-on encounter, a Scarabs Swarm consisting of tens of thousands could easily Devour these few Xenomorph Runners in just a few minutes.
One was a summoned creature of an extra-dimensional Deity, the other was the ultimate Hunter / Predator cultivated in the current universe. The two sides coming together gave Tang Song a bizarre and wonderful feeling.
However, from Jacob, this Bodyguard, Tang Song could see how thoroughly Charles Bishop Weyland had prepared for this trip to the Pyramid.
It could be said that even without him and Cobra's Mercenaries, Charles Bishop Weyland could overcome this Pyramid with just his Mercenaries and Jacob, this Superhuman.
Rustling sounds continuously came.
The Scarabs Swarm led the Crowd through one Room after another.
Storm Shadow led the Cobra Soldiers behind Jacob. Tang Song and Charles Bishop Weyland walked in the middle.
The batch of Mercenaries brought by Charles Bishop Weyland were responsible for the rear guard. At the same time, the last few Mercenaries laid Track Mine Traps in the Tunnels they passed through as they advanced.
It must be said that this ancient Pyramid was simply too large, with hundreds of Rooms. Even with the assistance of the dense Scarabs Swarm, after half an hour, they still hadn't found the bottom of the Pyramid.
"Boom!"
A muffled Explosion Sound accompanied by a slight tremor suddenly sounded from behind.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
"They're catching up!"
Charles Bishop Weyland turned the head of his mecha, looking behind him. Then he turned his Gaze towards Storm Shadow.
"Ninja, it's time to fulfill the promise your Organization made to me. Have your people hold back the Predators behind us!"
Storm Shadow held his Katana, his eyes glancing at Boss Tang. After receiving a signal, Storm Shadow casually pointed out four Cobra Soldiers and had them stay there to intercept the enemy.
These Cobra Soldiers, who had been injected with Nanite Solution, seemed to know no fear whatsoever.
At Charles Bishop Weyland's suggestion, these Cobra Soldiers removed their Bulletproof Vests and put down their Firearms. Each only carried a Dog Leg Knife and stood side by side in the Tunnel.
"These Alien Creatures seem to have some kind of moral fastidiousness. Their fighting style is a bit like dueling Western cowboys. If the opponent only uses Cold Weapons, they will only use Cold Weapons as well!"
Charles Bishop Weyland explained his intention to Tang Song.
Boom! Just then, another muffled Sound came, but this time the Sound was clearly much closer than before.
"Speed up!"
Listening to the Explosion Sound behind them, everyone's footsteps also became more hurried.
...
In a Tunnel of the Pyramid, the Shockwave from a landmine explosion directly collapsed the wall of a Room.
The Predator wearing a Bio-mask on its face calmly used its sharp Claws to clear the Steel Balls from its body.
Steel Balls from the landmine rolled onto the Ground. The strong smell of Blood stimulated a Xenomorph Runner hiding in the Tunnel.
It silently hooked its Claws onto the ceiling of the Pyramid and stealthily moved towards the top of the Predator's head from above.
Hiss, hiss!
The Predator finished clearing the Steel Balls from its body, took out a can of Spray, and sprayed its Wounds twice. Its Wounds immediately healed and scabbed over at a visible Speed.
Whoosh! Just as the Predator put away the Spray, the Xenomorph Runner seized the opportunity and lunged forward, its sharp Teeth aiming to bite the Predator's Neck.
Pfft! The Predator seemed to have been prepared. It turned around, its empty left arm aimed at the Xenomorph Runner in mid-air. From its left wrist, a Restraining Net shot out, directly netting the Xenomorph Runner.
The Xenomorph Runner struggled desperately in the Restraining Net made of Alien Soft Alloy. From its body, it secreted countless green, viscous Highly Corrosive Fluid, trying to corrode the Restraining Net wrapped around it.
Hiss! The Predator stepped forward, its sharp Wrist Blade directly severing the Spine of this Xenomorph Runner.
Dipping its Claws in the Alien's Highly Corrosive Fluid Blood, it tattooed the totem of its tribe on its own body.
A moment later, after simply tidying up its Equipment, it opened its Wrist Device, looked at the map displayed by the Holographic Projection, and this Predator entered Stealth Mode, chasing into the Tunnel.
...
"Seeing" the four enemies standing before it with bare arms, holding only a knife.
The Predator retreated from its Invisibility state, immediately revealed its Wrist Blade, and charged towards the Cobra Soldiers in front of it.
The Cobra Soldier charging at the front crossed paths with the Predator.
"Ding!"
The Wrist Blade and the Dog Leg Knife collided. With just one strike, the Dog Leg Knife, made of high-strength carbon steel, was directly broken into three pieces.
Hiss, the sharp Wrist Blade directly tore open the Cobra Soldier's throat.
The Predator swung its Wrist Blade, just about to eliminate the remaining three enemies, when its legs were suddenly tightly held by a pair of hands from behind.
Before it could even look down, the second Cobra Soldier had already leaped high, gripping his Dog Leg Knife tightly with both hands and slashing towards the masked head of the Predator.
