The exploration team only hesitated for a moment, before they remembered that Luke had run faster than them with Weyland on his back.
Nobody hesitated any longer. Throwing things down, they ran for the exit of the ruins. Weyland and Stafford were the only ones who stayed behind.
Nobody dared to take Luke's warning lightly.
They all knew that the young man was much braver than an ordinary person. There had to be a reason why he was shouting so urgently.
The group of people ran madly towards the exit with all their might.
Without Big Boss Weyland dragging them down, the physically strong team members quickly rushed up the remaining stairs and returned to the entrance of the ruins.
Without any hesitation, they activated the lift and quickly returned to the surface of the ice.
Luke checked the time again. There were still eight minutes left, which was plenty of time.
Maintaining his speed at the limit of a normal person, he reached Weyland and Stafford. He picked up the old man and ran as he said, "There's a bomb down there that might destroy the ruins. Let's run."
Neither Weyland nor Stafford said anything.
Stafford, in particular, was running as fast as he could, and had no time to talk.
Luke wasn't too panicked. He simply took out his fake phone every now and then.
After the major change in the ruins, the interference to the wireless signal had disappeared.
He put a camera next to the black tablet and monitored it with his fake phone.
There were still half of the red dots on the device, which meant that it would explode in five minutes, which was exactly what the Predator had said.
He controlled his speed slightly so that Stafford could keep up with him.
They ran all the way to the entrance of the ruins, and saw that the lift in the ice cave was in operation.
By the time they reached the entrance of the cave, the lift had just landed at the bottom.
On the lift, Stafford entered the password, and the lift quickly went up.
As the lift rose, Luke looked at his multifunction watch. There were three minutes left.
But a bunch of heads were looking down from the entrance of the cave. Furious, he roared, "What the hell are you looking at? Run! The ice is about to collapse. Do you want to be buried? "
His voice was so loud that the heads at the entrance of the cave instantly disappeared.
Three minutes later, when the lift was dozens of meters away from the entrance of the cave, there was a muffled boom from underground.
Looking at his watch, Luke smiled bitterly. "I said ten minutes, so it's ten minutes."
Accompanied by this muffled sound, the ground began to shake violently.
A few seconds later, a violent gust of air blew from the bottom of the cave and pushed the lift upwards.
The platform completed the last dozen or so meters in a flying manner. It spat out from the hole, drawing a parabola in the air as it flew diagonally towards the snowy ground.
In the air, Luke grabbed the buckles on Weyland's and Stafford's backs and did his best to stabilize them.
Before he landed on the ground, he exerted strength in his hands and threw the two of them up a bit. With a bang, he smashed into the snow dozens of meters away.
In the next moment, he exerted strength in his legs and jumped out of the snow pit. He grabbed the two people who landed lightly a few meters away and ran away.
Weyland and Stafford were so dizzy that they didn't see what had happened at all.
Luke's series of movements made them feel as if they were riding on clouds. At that moment, their eyes were filled with stars.
With cracking sounds, the layer of ice behind the three cracked and began to sink.
Nobody could see Luke clearly in the dancing snowflakes. He was no longer hiding his strength.
Every time he stomped on the ground, the snow on the ground would scatter and the ice would crack. He charged forward with Weyland and Selina on the snowy ground.
Thirty seconds later, he stopped and turned around to look behind him.
The entrance to the ice cave was already more than two hundred meters away. The three of them were now standing at the edge of the pit, where the exploration team had parked their snowmobiles.
Everything within a hundred meters of the ice cave had caved in into an even larger pit.
Luke saw a few bright orange-red dots in the snow down below, and was relieved. "Okay, they seem fine. You rest here for a while. I'll help them up. "
…
On the battleship in outer space, a notification rang out in alien language. "This hunting mission is over.
"All three participants are dead.
"The Alien queen has been eliminated. All the Aliens have been eliminated. All the facehuggers have been eliminated. The mission site has been completely destroyed. The cleanup has been confirmed as complete.
"The civilization on this planet has progressed beyond expectations. The mission participants encountered a low-level guardian who was too powerful.
"This planet is no longer suitable as a mission site. It has been removed from the list of possible mission sites.
"Recall all the landing ships immediately and prepare to jump to the next mission site."
…
At the same time, several landing ships with sharp heads and flower-like tails soared into the sky a few kilometers away from the exploration team.
Luke sensed something and looked at the night sky not far away.
In the darkness, three long streaks of light rose into the sky.
He watched the three streaks of light disappear before he focused his attention back on the rescue operation.
Half an hour later, the others slowly climbed back up. Luke also brought back the four exploration team members who were slightly injured. The four of them had twisted their ankles in the tremors.
But they were already very lucky. At the very least, they would be alive and kicking again after resting for a few days.
Including Luke, Weyland, and Stafford, there were only fifteen survivors in the exploration team of more than eighty at the beginning.
The rest of the team had already been buried in the collapsed ice ruins.
Stafford had already arranged for the rest of the team to drive the six snowmobiles over.
After assigning two to three people to one snowmobile, everybody started to return.
There had been more than twenty snowmobiles and more than eighty team members when they arrived, but only six snowmobiles were going back.
The expedition this time had suffered heavy losses.
Stafford drove the snowmobile in silence. Luke looked at the gloomy Weyland and said, "Mr. Weyland, will you take care of the rest yourself?"
Weyland hummed in response. "Yes, I'll take care of everything."
The snowmobile fell silent again.
Luke pondered what had happened just now.
The Predators had no mercy for humans. Among those who escaped alive, none of them stayed on the ground to guard the place.
When they flew out of the cave, Luke had smelled the thick stench of blood. Clearly, the people who had stayed behind were all dead.
Finally, the caped Predator seemed to be friendly to Luke, but that was more out of respect for Luke's strength, and not out of respect for humans.
The reason why Luke didn't attack the Predators who were transporting the corpses was because he noticed that the Predators' equipment was clearly a lot more advanced.
Thinking back to what the caped Predator had said, he had a rough idea that the three Predators in the ruins were here for some sort of hunting ritual.
Compared with the equipment of the Predators who had transported the bodies, the three Predators' equipment was like the difference between a hunting tourist and a special force.
