Chapter 519 Weilan, Who Races Against Time
Charlie Holloway was very dissatisfied with Ethan's actions, but Ethan's next words made him completely ignore his previous displeasure.
"Mr. Pete Welland? He's on board too?"
It wasn't just him who had this question, almost everyone didn't expect that Pete Welland, who sponsored this scientific expedition, would come along with him.
Considering the age of that Pete Welland... this kind of ultra-long-distance interstellar travel, and the long, life-threatening dormancy, there is a high probability that he will end up in his sleep before he reaches his destination Lost his own little life left.
"Are you sure there is what Mr. Welland wants here?"
"I'm pretty sure."
Facing David's question, Ethan gave a very positive answer.
"Wake him up now, he can see the existence he has always wanted to see for the first time, and this will also save you from going back and forth."
Still the same as before, although David wanted to confirm it himself, he had no choice but to refuse when facing Ethan, because it was not on Ethan's list of options.
"Mr. Welland's physical condition is not very good. Although he is using a more advanced hibernation chamber, he also needs more 'recovery procedures'. Those are not things I can handle alone."
Therefore, the cabin where Pete Welland's dormant cabin is located is not just the boss behind the scenes, but the entire medical team.
Before waking Pete Welland, David needs to wake up these medical staff first, and then wait until the medical staff can perform normal work before waking up Pete-Future.
"Rich man!"
The original film did not give these detailed introductions and pictures, and at that time, the entire investigation team was tortured by the parasite and was on the verge of collapse. No one cared what David was busy with.
So when Pete Whelan appeared, he was recovering with the help of a group of medical staff.
But now a whole boat of people followed, watching David first wake up the medical staff, then help these people recover, and then wake up Pete Welland together with the medical staff.
The medical staff had already noticed that something was wrong - seeing this group of people watching, anyone with a normal IQ would know something was wrong.
But they didn't say anything, and they didn't do anything exciting. Their job is to ensure that Mr. Peter Welland wakes up smoothly and recovers his ability to move in the shortest possible time. Other things have nothing to do with them.
So everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Ethan stood there with his arms folded and waited.
He was very patient, and even Hill was surprised by his troublesome behavior.
"I've always been weird."
"What's strange?"
"You should know why this man named Pete Welland wants to find that engineer?"
"Know."
Of course Ethan knew that the real purpose of Pete Welland's search for an engineer was actually very simple: he didn't want to die, even though he had lived longer than most ordinary people, he still didn't want to die. He hoped that the great race that created man would give him a longer life.
Regarding this point, although Wei Lan's behavior is a bit naive, Ethan can still understand it.
It is not surprising that a person who is on the verge of death but unwilling to die does anything. Besides, his action is actually somewhat hopeful. The only unreliable thing is why the engineer can give you a longer life Woolen cloth? Mr. Welland may have never thought about it or deliberately ignored it. He just wanted to seize this "only" opportunity.
As the person in charge on the Prometheus, Meredith Vickers looked at Pete Welland in front of her, her emotions were a bit complicated.
It is known from the plot that Meredith is Welland's illegitimate daughter. She seems to want to get something from her biological father, but it's a pity that Peter Welland simply ignored her request.
Ethan felt that Meredith wanted a formal inheritance right, and then accepted Welland Enterprises after Mr. Welland passed away. Unfortunately, Welland didn't agree, because Welland didn't want to die at all, and he certainly didn't want his 'Empire' handed over. To anyone, even if this person is his own daughter.
Returning his gaze, Ethan continued to answer Hill's question in a low voice.
"I can give him what he wants, but I don't want to give him."
Hill nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Then why are we here, and joining this group of people?"
"Because I'm bored..."
"..."
Hill frowned, what kind of answer is this? I joined this team because I was bored, isn't it boring?
Seeing her expression of not understanding, Ethan had no choice but to explain a few more words.
"Since we are not going to take things away directly, then we have to stay here and wait for the right time... In other words, we always have to stay here, why don't we find a slightly better environment and have a lively atmosphere?" places to see?"
This time, Hill fully understood that on this desolate planet, the best environment is undoubtedly on the Prometheus, and the so-called excitement... probably is what this group of scientists will do next.
But before that, it seems that the little trouble of Pete Welland needs to be solved first?
As the owner of Welland Enterprise, Mr. Welland is usually not an easy person to get along with, especially when he just woke up from a dormant state and saw a large group of people watching him, this feeling is definitely not very good.
"How is this going?"
Mr. Welland's face was already darker than Captain Ganek's.
"David!"
As soon as Pete Welland saw that the situation was wrong, David was the first to ask instead of Meredith, so you can know some of this person's character-he doesn't trust anyone at all, and his trust in David I'm afraid it's also based on the fact that David is a robot.
"Some exceptional circumstances have occurred."
The surrounding medical staff were busy, but Mr. Welland's face did not change. After Meredith "pleased" all the onlookers to leave, in this cabin with the most advanced medical equipment on board, Except for a group of medical staff, only Meredith and Ethan were left.
"That's you?"
Wei Lan had the tone of a superior, even though he couldn't even straighten his waist, he still tried his best to hold his head up, and looked at Ethan in front of him with the attitude of a "superior".
He really couldn't see anything special about this young man, why both David and Meredith were telling him that the situation was out of control?
Welland began to look at Meredith frequently. He wondered if this illegitimate daughter had done something behind the scenes? Had this stranger been secretly arranged by Meredith on board?
What do you want to do? Welland thought of his own Welland Enterprise, even though he almost squeezed out all the capital flow of Welland Enterprise and tried his best to build this Prometheus, but the whole group's shelf is there, as long as the manager is clear-headed , with steady operation, Welland Enterprises can still recover into a powerful super group.
Wayland Enterprises was so attractive that he wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted to take it and do anything for it.
"I think you'd better be a little more polite."
Ethan didn't want to have anything to do with this old man. It was best for Wayland to ignore his existence and continue to concentrate on finding the engineer he had been thinking about.
But that was impossible. When he stood here, he had already become a thorn in Welland's side.
In this case, the easiest way is to show enough force to force the opponent to dare not do anything to you.
Ethan doesn't need to do complicated things, he just needs to wave his hand lightly to let various objects placed around him float into the air, including a heavy medical equipment. Given Weilan's physical condition, let alone If he was hit by this thing, he might die directly just by rubbing it - in fact, he didn't even need to move his hands, he only made movements to let the old man in front of him understand that he did these things.
Seeing the miraculous scene in front of him, Pete Welland finally began to believe what David said quietly to him before: this person is most likely not from Earth.
Not from Earth, could it be an engineer?
Welland no longer has that sense of superiority. As an excellent businessman, he is very good at showing his due attitude when necessary.
"Don't guess, I'm not the engineer you're looking for, but you'll see me soon." Ethan knew what the old man wanted to ask, and withdrew the spell casually: "As for whether you want to rush there immediately, or do you want to Rest and recover before going, then it depends on your thoughts."
Welland didn't speak. Ethan's words contained a lot of information. Although he still had a lot of questions to ask, the most important thing right now was to find the creator of mankind.
"How long will it take for me to move?"
"At least three more hours."
What David gave was the minimum recovery time. Three hours can allow Welland's body to recover to full function, but the muscles will still be weak, and there is no way to move freely.
But this is not a problem for Welland at all. His body is already very old and he doesn't have much mobility. Now he wants to go out to see the engineer himself and needs the help of a mechanical exoskeleton.
"We'll be leaving in three hours..."
"As a kind guest, I would like to remind you... that there will be a silica storm coming soon. If you set off in three hours, you may encounter this storm."
Welland was silent for a moment, then gave the order in a firmer tone.
"Leave in two hours!"
His remaining life can be counted in seconds. He doesn't want to wait for the storm to pass. He wants to find the Creator before the storm comes. If it goes well... maybe he can get a new life.
Ethan smiled and didn't say anything else. Judging from the current development, this old man can indeed get a new life—if there is reincarnation in this world.
