Chapter 108: Room, Predator
*Whoosh!* The Tri-Blade Wrist Blades shot out, piercing directly through the Cobra Soldier who had leaped high into the air.
The bare-chested Cobra Soldier had his entire left chest impaled by the sharp Tri-Blade Wrist Blades, spraying a large gush of blood.
The Cobra Soldier, injected with Nanite Solution, seemed to not understand fear or pain. Even impaled by the Wrist Blades in mid-air, he still held onto his last breath, throwing the Kukri Knife in his hand towards the Predator in front of him.
*Hiss!* The Predator tilted its head, and the Kukri Knife flew past, grazing its Bio-Mask. The sharp blade left a mark on the Predator's Bio-Mask.
"Roar!"
An angry low growl came from beneath the Predator's mask. With a flick of its arm, it swung the Cobra Soldier, still impaled on the Wrist Blades, and smashed him into the other two Cobra Soldiers rushing down the Tunnel.
Taking advantage of the two being blocked by the Corpse, the Predator stomped its legs forcefully, directly tearing off the arms of the Cobra Soldier who was clinging to its legs.
Countless Nanoworms, tiny to the point of being almost invisible, swarmed from all over this Cobra Soldier's body towards his Wound, attempting to stop the bleeding from the severed arm.
*Whoosh!* Seemingly noticing the abnormality in the Cobra Soldier's body, the Predator directly swung its Wrist Blades backhand. The Tri-Blade Wrist Blades tore through the Cobra Soldier's flesh and skin, completely destroying his Spine into several sections!
"Roar!"
Having finished all this, the Predator stood up and faced the remaining two Cobra Soldiers. It wildly removed the Bio-Mask from its face, revealing a face with interlocking Fangs.
A beastly roar filled with fighting intent came from its mouth beneath the four outward-facing Fangs. It swung an arm, and the sharp Wrist Blades shot out again. It strode towards the two Cobra Soldiers who were rushing forward, swinging their knives.
...
*Rustle rustle...*
"It should be here! Blow it open!"
At the bottom of the Pyramid, two thick Stone Gates blocked the path of the Scarabs swarm.
Charles Bishop Weyland looked at the Relief Carving on the Stone Gates, his expression somewhat excited.
A Mercenary stepped forward with several pieces of Plastic Explosives and attached the Bomb to the Stone Gates.
The Crowd retreated to the middle of the Tunnel. As the demolitions expert pressed the Detonator.
*Boom!*
With a loud Explosion Sound, Smoke and Dust rose everywhere, and the entire Pyramid seemed to shake violently.
"Ptooey, ptooey!"
Several Mercenaries who weren't wearing fully sealed Helmets kept spitting out dust.
After the Smoke and Dust finally dispersed, Charles Bishop Weyland impatiently came to the Stone Gates.
The two Stone Gates leading to the lower level space, except for the Relief Carving on them being slightly damaged, were otherwise as usual, standing there, unmoving as a mountain.
"What kind of material is this stone? This Hardness is simply incredible!"
The demolitions expert knelt on the Ground in surprise, touching the Stone Gates with his hand, feeling their texture.
The several pieces of Plastic Explosives he installed were mixed by himself, and he was very clear about their Force. Although the Explosion Sound range wasn't strong, it was a targeted demolition.
The few pieces of Plastic Explosives he installed were enough to blow open the Vault Gate of any Bank Vault, let alone this kind of Stone Gate.
"Taber! Stop talking nonsense, increase the dosage, and blow it again!"
Jacob glanced at his Boss's expression and quickly reprimanded the demolitions expert.
"Boss!" The demolitions expert shrugged, pointing to the surrounding Tunnels and the ceiling above.
"Unless you can guarantee that these stones are as solid as the two Stone Gates, otherwise, if the dosage is any more, I can't guarantee we won't be buried alive here!"
"Mr. Weyland!" Jacob couldn't help but look at Charles Bishop Weyland! Charles Bishop Weyland's eyes had never left the two Stone Gates.
"Whatever Method it takes, open it!"
When he saw the Spaceship Relief Carving on the Stone Gates, Charles Bishop Weyland's Voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Use the Shoulder Cannon!"
Jacob gestured to the two Mercenaries behind him. The two Mercenaries stepped forward simultaneously.
Two three-point Red Lights shone onto the Stone Gates from the masks they were wearing.
*Boom!* Another loud Explosion Sound. *Rustle rustle* of gravel constantly fell from the top of the Pyramid.
"Boss?"
The two Mercenaries dodged the gravel from above, looking at the Cracks appearing in the Tunnel, hesitating and not daring to try a second time.
Clearly, the material used for this Pyramid and the Stone Gates below was not the same material.
If they bombed it again, it was hard to guarantee that this Passage wouldn't directly collapse.
Jacob looked at the Stone Gates that remained unchanged, then glanced at Charles Bishop Weyland, and was at a loss for a Method for a moment.
"Taber, is there any other Method!?"
Jacob looked at the demolitions expert. The demolitions expert frowned, staring closely at the two Gates.
"Use a drill to make a few directional demolition points on the Gate, then add enough Bomb dosage, maybe that can blow it open?"
Taber said somewhat uncertainly, "But this will take a little Time!"
"How long?"
Charles Bishop Weyland turned around, his eyes, wrapped within the Exoskeleton Armor, seemed to become unusually sharp.
"At least half an hour!"
Taber hesitated for a moment before answering.
"No, we don't have that much Time!" Charles Bishop Weyland said decisively, "I'll give you twenty minutes at most, I want to see results!"
Twenty minutes? Taber looked at the two Stone Gates that were still intact after two high-intensity explosions, and did not immediately respond to Charles Bishop Weyland's words.
Charles Bishop Weyland's Complexion beneath his Helmet became unusually grim. Just as he was about to lose his temper, a Voice interrupted him in time.
"I say, Mr. Weyland, why are you focusing on these two Stone Gates!"
Charles Bishop Weyland turned his head and looked at Tang Song: "Tang, what do you mean by that?"
Tang Song held a Cigar in one hand and a Cane in the other, pointing at the thick stone bricks beneath him.
A series of crisp *tap-tap* sounds echoed in the Tunnel.
"Aren't you trying to enter the lower level space? Just blow through this Tunnel, why are you struggling with those two Stone Gates!"
As Boss Tang's words came out, Jacob and Charles Bishop Weyland immediately exchanged glances.
"Taber?" Jacob directly asked the demolitions expert.
"Theoretically, it is possible," the demolitions expert knelt on the Ground, extending his finger and tapping the floor tiles with his knuckle: "The stone layer is clearly thicker, but compared to these two Stone Gates, the engineering difficulty isn't great!"
"How long will it take to get it done?"
Charles Bishop Weyland asked in a deep Voice.
"Give me eight minutes," the demolitions expert stood up, holding surveying tools, tapping and marking the floor tiles in various parts of the Tunnel.
"Hey, guys, don't just stand around, chisel some pits for me at these points!"
A group of Mercenaries picked up their personal military knives and entrenching tools, tapping and chiseling pits in the stone bricks with force.
As for directly using Guns for Spray Fire, everyone present was an experienced veteran and knew very well the probability of ricochets when firing at close range in this kind of Tunnel.
No one would do such a stupid Thing! A group of Mercenaries busied themselves chiseling holes and burying Bombs. Tang Song strolled leisurely with his Cane to the corner of the Tunnel.
*Hiss!*
A Xenomorph Runner hiding in the corner, peeking and looking towards them furtively, was startled by Tang Song's sudden appearance.
It hissed, its two strong hind legs leaped directly up, pouncing and biting towards Tang Song.
"Naughty!"
Speaking lightly from his mouth, Tang Song's silver-plated Cane was faster, striking the top of this Xenomorph Runner's head.
