Chapter 93

Today's second update, please support!

...

After passing through the thick, lightning-filled cloud layer, the Prometheus quickly appeared in the airspace near the surface of LV-223.

"No communication signals, no thermal reactions."

"Nothing at all."

As the staff's ground environment detection results came in, David, the bio-android who looked no different from a real human, quoted a line from a movie:

"The desert is full of nothing, but no one wants nothing."

Though the line had a bit of a literary flair, it was quite fitting for the current situation.

"Let's go through that passage and reduce our speed to one hundred knots," said Janek, the captain.

"We're going through, hold steady!"

Charlie Holloway, who had been in a state of excitement since arriving at LV-223, suddenly noticed a suspicious location through the Prometheus's bridge window.

"There!"

"Hey! What are you doing?" Elizabeth Shaw, his lover, asked worriedly.

"Dr. Holloway, why don't you sit down quickly," Captain Janek reminded him, noticing someone standing up without permission.

"That's it, right there, the terrain is clearly different," Charlie Holloway said, pointing to a valley not far away as he moved to the right window of the Prometheus.

"Right there, that valley, Captain, can you land there?" he asked excitedly, staring intently at the area he had discovered.

"No problem, we can land anywhere, as long as it's possible," said Captain Janek, sitting at the main control panel.

"Turn the rudder ninety degrees to the right, guys."

As the Prometheus successfully turned and approached the target area, before Captain Janek could give the landing order, a dark golden figure suddenly appeared outside the window.

"Oh! Damn it!!"

"What the hell is that!!"

"Who can tell me why this thing is here!!"

"Oh, my God!"

"Is this heaven? Why would there be angels here?"

...

Through his透视 ability, Liu Rui'an could tell the shock and fear of the Prometheus crew even without looking at their faces, as their heartbeats and blood flow rates spiked.

Faced with these weaklings with a combat strength of only five, Liu Rui'an had no interest in teasing them. He simply pointed down, signaling them to land the ship.

However, this simple gesture caused a conflict among the characters on the Prometheus.

Meredith Vickers, the mission leader, immediately thought of leaving this cursed planet to ensure her safety upon seeing the unknown object.

However, Charlie Holloway and Elizabeth Shaw, the couple, insisted on landing the ship and making contact with the clearly alien humanoid object.

Fortunately, the conflict didn't last long. Liu Rui'an, hovering outside the Prometheus's window, quickly resolved it.

The solution was simple: when two thick red beams easily destroyed a distant mountain, everyone on the Prometheus knew what to do.

Joking aside, despite the Prometheus being the most advanced human technology, it was essentially a research and exploration vessel with no weapon systems.

The destructive power of those red beams was analyzed by the ship's sensors, and everyone knew how dangerous they were.

In this situation, even though they knew landing would be very risky and could cost them their lives, it was still better than being immediately destroyed. At least, by being more compliant, they had a chance to survive. Otherwise, the alien humanoid wouldn't have gestured for the Prometheus to land.

A few minutes later, the Prometheus landed smoothly on the surface of LV-223.

Without giving the characters a chance to discuss what to do, Liu Rui'an teleported directly into the bridge of the Prometheus as soon as the ship stabilized.

With just a thought, the characters, who were tense and frightened about their fates, fainted where they stood.

The only one still standing and calm was David, the bio-android who looked no different from a real human but was not human.

Unfortunately, Liu Rui'an had no good feelings towards this bio-android.

Joking aside, as a tool for humans, daring to harm humans, such a bio-android, no matter how advanced, had no reason to exist.

Considering that David knew the Engineers' language and controlled the entire Prometheus, Liu Rui'an didn't rush to kill him.

However, he didn't bother with small talk, placing a silver-gray egg-shaped object on the main control panel.

Gently pressing the pointed end of the metal egg, it quickly transformed into a silver-gray "stream" and seeped into the main control panel.

At the same time, a massive shadow appeared above the Prometheus.

Through the bridge window, David saw a ship much larger than the Prometheus had appeared above.

While the technology on the Prometheus represented the highest level of human technology in this world, it was nothing compared to the advanced technology of the Protoss.

Under the remote control of the Protoss and the invasion of nanobots, it didn't take long to gain full control of the Prometheus.

With full control, everything on the Prometheus was as transparent to Liu Rui'an as a naked beautiful woman.

Seeing that the invasion of the ship was almost complete, Liu Rui'an walked to "Magneto," who had been sitting obediently in his chair, and said:

"David, the bio-android created by Peter Weyland based on his son's image."

"The purpose of your mission is ostensibly to find the so-called creators, but in reality, it's to find a way for Peter Weyland to achieve immortality."

"I'm giving you a chance to truly become human, come with me."

After saying this, Liu Rui'an didn't use his telekinetic powers to control David but turned and walked towards the destination the Protoss had just sent.

Faced with this sudden and significant offer, David didn't hesitate and followed immediately.

There was no choice; the dark golden-armored figure was terrifyingly powerful, and David had no chance of resistance. Moreover, he knew the Prometheus's situation very well, and the offer to become a true human was too tempting. Any resistance would be foolish.

Without wasting much time, after walking through an automatically sliding door, Liu Rui'an said:

"Go and wake him up."

David, looking at him, did not refuse the order.

A few minutes later, Peter Weyland, who had been secretly following the Prometheus in a hidden area, woke up from his cryogenic sleep.

For this genius with a combat strength of less than five, Liu Rui'an was still unwilling to waste words.

He teleported Peter Weyland directly to the Redemption-class command ship and placed him on the medical platform of the medical bay.

The medical platform from the "Elysium" world, after being improved and upgraded by the Protoss, couldn't solve the problem of human aging, but it was much better than the original version in extending life.

In less than a minute, Peter Weyland, born in 1990 and now 103 years old, felt health and vitality return to his body.

Unfortunately, Liu Rui'an never intended to be as lenient with this genius as he was with S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He used a mind control to turn him into a loyal subordinate.

As for David, he was left to the Protoss to deal with.

When the Redemption-class command ship landed behind the Prometheus, small doors slid open, and a large number of silver-gray metal eggs were ejected.

Some of these metal eggs transformed into metal insects in mid-air, while others turned into metal beasts upon hitting the ground.

The metal insects flew towards the Engineers' research base, while the metal beasts burrowed underground to conduct in-depth geological surveys.

After the metal insects successfully entered the base, which looked like a large "mound," the internal structure of the "mound" soon appeared in Liu Rui'an's view.

With the data obtained from David and the memories in Liu Rui'an's mind, the intelligent robots sent after the metal insects and metal beasts quickly discovered the hall with many containers of "black liquid" and the alien spacecraft.

As Liu Rui'an had expected, there were more alien spacecraft than the two in the original plot.

Unfortunately, only one living Engineer remained, as in the original plot.

Based on the information gathered by the metal insects and metal beasts, it was almost certain that the others had been killed by the xenomorphs.

Fortunately, the living specimens, though fewer, were intact.

After all the Engineer bases and spacecraft were thoroughly surveyed, a sandstorm, as in the original plot, descended upon the valley.
