As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Barney and Trench who had come to pick him up.
Looking at Trench next to Barney, William smiled and shook hands with them. "Are you sure you want to participate in this mission?"
Barney and Trench looked at each other and nodded firmly. "We can't let you face the aliens alone, and we're getting old.
Boss, if we don't do something earth-shattering and save Blue Planet, we won't be able to do anything else. "
You won't be able to show off to your descendants in the future. "
William laughed and shook his head. "Although I'm not sure if I should send you guys to risk your lives.
Since you've asked again and again, you'll be on standby for now. "
Getting into Barney and Trench's car, the three of them arrived at Ushuaia Port in Tierra del Fuego and boarded the icebreaker at the port.
After getting to know the captain and learning that William's destination was Bouvet Island in the Ross Glacier, the captain named Charlie said in surprise.
"Is there anything special about Bouvet Island? Why are you and Mr. Charles Weiland of the United States forming an expedition team at the same time to enter the Ross Glacier? "
"That old man still came?" William didn't answer the captain's question. Instead, he looked at the sea and pondered silently.
Sunday had reported to him that he wasn't the only one who had discovered the pyramid, but also the mineral detection satellite of the Weiland Company.
While he was thinking about this, a crew member reported through the walkie-talkie that Charles Weiland had requested to meet with William.
After thinking about it, William said to Sunday, "Help me check if Charles Weiland is sick."
Then, he took the initiative to walk out of the control room to meet Weiland.
After hearing Sunday's report that through checking Weiland's medical records, it was confirmed that he had cancer, and it was terminal.
William had been hesitant about whether to persuade Weiland to give up on finding the pyramid and saving him and the expedition team he had formed. He immediately let go of his worries.
In the face of death, this search for the pyramid was probably Weiland's last attempt to save himself.
Before William could tell him what he knew, it would be strange if Weiland gave up.
There was even a very high possibility that Weiland would take the initiative to contact aliens when he heard about them.
Besides, there was no way to threaten or influence the Predators.
Even if William stopped Weyland and his men from entering the pyramid this time, didn't the Predators have other ways to lure others in?
Since that was the case, William wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Weyland's probing, or even scare him. Perhaps more people would enter the pyramid.
That would be helpful to his plan.
"Mr. Weiland, if your destination is also that pyramid, I can only wish you good luck."
Somewhat surprised by William's straightforwardness, Weyland was silent for a moment before asking, "May I know the reason?"
"Sorry," William shook his head, "I can only say that that place is very dangerous. Goodbye, sir."
After leaving William's icebreaker, Weyland returned to the camp by the harbor with his head bodyguard.
Sitting on the chair and thinking for a moment, he said, "Mike, I need more guards, more professional experts, and a safer operation plan.
In case William Devonshire is one step ahead of us, you only have one day, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. "
Mike thought for a moment and said, "Sir, if we only have one day, we can only look for mercenaries if we want more guards.
But if there's a lot of treasure in the pyramid, there might be a problem. "
A problem? Charles Weyland shook his head. "You understand, at my age and status, I don't need wealth anymore.
I only have one goal, and that is to find a way to cure me. So, Mike, no matter who you look for, tell them that I'll pay them.
The honor of discovering the pyramid belongs to the Weyland family, and if there are treasures, I only want three levels. You can split the other seven levels equally, how about that? "
"Understood," Mike nodded, agreeing with Weyland's way of saying that he didn't want wealth, but he also wanted three levels.
If he didn't want any of it, those who accepted the mercenaries would definitely wonder if there was a trap in there.
Now that he took the initiative to inform them of the danger and tempted them with seven levels of wealth, not only would the mercenaries feel at ease, but they might also be able to find a strong team.
Two hours later, a team of twelve mercenaries made up of retired American SEALs, Deltas, and the like accepted Mike's commission.
They took a plane and rushed to Tierra del Fuego.
Early the next morning, Weyland, who had been worried all day that William would take the ship on the spot, left the icebreaker on his side.
Standing at the stern of the ship, he silently watched William's icebreaker that was still docked at the port without loading or unloading supplies, and with no people coming in or out.
He knew very well that William had long been prepared, waiting for him to take the lead and follow behind to take advantage of the situation.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the uneasiness in his mind grew stronger. But he was about to die, and didn't have time to waste with William like this.
Plus, there were people in the sky with surveillance satellites, and he and William weren't the only ones.
He could only pray that his six bodyguards and the twelve newly hired mercenaries could deal with the danger in the pyramid, as well as the possible threat from William.
Two hours after Weyland's ship set off, William ordered his captain to set sail.
They followed Weyland's group more than thirty nautical miles out of sight.
There was the batch of newly produced Blackblade drones and drone carriers that were controlled in the sky on Sunday. Because of the cold weather, they had become larger.
Plus, the destination was clear, and William didn't doubt that he would lose them.
Whistling as he arrived at the icebreaker's cargo hold, he saw only Barney and Trench in the cargo hold. Barney and Trench were wearing three types of armor and practicing with each other.
After watching for a moment, William lost interest in watching the two of them.
Two days later, the ship finally arrived at Bouwei Island, a few kilometers away from where Weyland had landed. An hour after Weyland and his group left in their snowmobile.
William, Barney, and Trench each drove a large snowmobile out of the ship and headed for the pyramid.
Just as they arrived two kilometers away from the pyramid, Sunday reported, "Sir, the instruments you prepared have found three small space capsules landing in outer space.
The landing site is expected to be on the ice sheet three kilometers away from your current location. "
Hearing this, William was delighted. Finally, the knowledge provided by the system in his mind, which only appeared when he leveled up as a mage, was reliable.
He turned the steering wheel and drove three kilometers away, and Barney and Trench immediately followed.
Five minutes later, William parked the car two hundred meters away from the three ice pits created by the three small space capsules.
Putting on the new smart glasses and changing the detection mode several times, he soon saw three Predators emitting energy waves.
After confirming that he could see the Predators, William spoke to Barney and Trench. "Change into the Type 3 armor, we're getting out of the car."
