Chapter 232 Exploring the Ten Thousand Years Glacier 02
Out of the cabin, you can deeply feel the extreme weather here in an instant.
——cold, gloomy, desolate, full of white, blue and sporadic other colors, very monotonous.
Wu Xiajiu stood on the deck and looked into the distance, and could vaguely see some rolling houses.
That should be the research station and observation station.
And on the shore of this polar region, the sea water was slapping, and the whistling sea breeze was also blowing head-on, many snow particles were blown up and down.
Farther away, dark clouds were overwhelming, but after a while, it was completely dark in front of my eyes.
So, before they could all get off the boat, the lights on the boat were turned on to illuminate the path under their feet.
"Be careful, the road is slippery."
There are splashes of sea water and snowflakes on the stairs, and it is indeed slippery.
Just as Wu Xiajiu lowered his head and walked down the stairs connecting the deck to the shore, Ah Zuo passed by his side and said casually.
Immediately, Ah Zuo stepped forward and followed Professor Zheng Yu.
Wu Xiajiu lowered his head again, his face was tucked into the hood and scarf, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent indistinctly.
After getting off the ship, they began to trek on the snow to the direction of the research station.
Captain Mark and the crew also followed.
One of the crew members was impatient to walk, and his feet sank into the snow, stepping into a hole, and his shoes were wet, and his feet were cold. He couldn't help but said, "Isn't there even a snowmobile in this place?"
Professor Zheng Yu said: "There are, but they are all at the research station. There was a small problem with the energy here before, and it cannot be replenished for the time being."
"So if the oil and electricity run out, the research station and the observation station will lose the power supply."
"The personnel at the previous research station temporarily disabled the snowmobile."
So, they have to go through.
The crew member bowed his head and complained mutteringly, but didn't say anything else.
Soon after, Wu Xiajiu and others followed Professor Zheng Yu to the outside of the research station and observation station.
—The research station is a bit bigger, and the observatory station is small.
The shape of the observatory is like an upside-down snow house, the doors and windows are closed, and the special metal is used. It is said that it can insulate the cold and maintain the temperature inside.
Professor Zheng Yu said: "I only have the authority to open the research station, but I don't have the authority to open the observation station."
"Fortunately, the people who communicated and sent messages were all in the research station before. We will go in soon, everyone be careful."
The appearance of the research station is very technological. Although the metal is not particularly conspicuous in the dark, it is not easy to be ignored.
In particular, Professor Zheng Yu stood in front of the door of the research station and stretched out his hand to swipe at the metal door, and an electronic screen appeared instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Zheng Yu pressed his fingerprint, and after a green light flashed, he began to enter the password, which was obviously very high-tech.
At this time, Fang Zi poked Wu Xiajiu's waist, and after Wu Xiajiu turned his head slightly, he motioned Wu Xiajiu to look at a piece of snow beside the wall of the research station.
Wu Xiajiu looked in the direction indicated by Fang Zi——I saw a lot of footprints on the snow beside the wall, which is nothing unusual. There are footprints all around the research station, which is no different from that place .
However, just as the howling wind blew past again, there was a lot of blood among the tumbling snow particles.
It was as if someone had been injured and passed by here before, and blood was falling from the body.
Someone escaped from the research station?
But there are only two buildings on this piece of Iceland, the research station and the observation station.
If someone escaped from the research station, did they escape into the observation station?
But before Professor Zheng Yu said that apart from Professor Smith and Professor Zhang who have left with some people, there is only one other researcher who remains in the observation station.
But this person was still talking and shouting something in the last communication, as if he had already encountered an accident...
What's more, this direction is opposite to the direction leading to the observatory.
Wu Xia thought a lot for a long time.
At this time, Professor Zheng Yu finally opened the door of the research station—the door opened to both sides, the sound of machinery filled the ears, and the situation inside the door was also revealed in front of his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the messy paper documents scattered everywhere.
Some of the paper was stained with blood.
But looking around, the place next to the gate of the research station is very empty, and there is a closed metal gate on the left and right sides, waiting to be opened.
"Where are we going?" Ivy asked.
Professor Zheng Yu said: "The door on the left leads to the research institute in the research station. I don't have permission to go in."
"And the door on the right leads to the communication platform and other rooms. I have authority over here."
"First find out what's going on in the research station, and then we need to find Professor Smith and Professor Zhang back."
After speaking, Professor Zheng Yu walked to the right to open the door.
When Wu Xiajiu walked over, he glanced at the door on the left. The construction of this door was similar to that of the inspection station, and it was probably opened with palm prints and passwords.
However, there was a turmoil at the research station, and the doors on both sides were closed for no reason.
If so, how did the blood stains stay here?
Professor Zheng Yu enters the password to open the door on the right.
However, just as the door on the right opened and closed to the left and right, suddenly, not far from them, the metal door on the left also opened.
The sound of the door opening startled the unprepared crowd.
Professor Zheng Yu hurriedly turned his head and said in surprise, "How did the door on the left open?"
As he said that, he turned and walked over there, followed by Mark and some crew members.
Afterwards, Professor Zheng Yu checked the door on the left and found that there was no problem, but he didn't know why it opened suddenly without entering the palm print and password.
He said: "It's fine if it's open, we don't have to spend a lot of effort trying to figure out a way to get in."
"I just don't know if the door inside can also be opened."
Professor Zheng Yu does not have access to the door on the left, and of course he does not have access to some research rooms leading to the left.
"Let's check it separately," Professor Zheng Yu said.
Some people go to the right, and some come to the left.
Wu Xiajiu was assigned to the left, and he sent Xie Pang and Zhong Nan to the right.
Professor Zheng Yu also chose the left side.
As for the door of the inner room on the right, only the authority of the password is required to open it, so Zheng Yu handed it over to his assistant Ah Zuo.
So Ah Zuo led the people to the right.
Kuang Xun, Yu Ze and the others also went to the right.
But Ivy, like Wu Xiajiu and others, followed Professor Zheng Yu to the left side, accompanied by Ma Ke and some crew members.
After entering the door on the left, it took a long time for Wu Xia to realize that he also walked in a different way after entering, and the place is not small.
And the light in the corridor is dim, and it can be illuminated vaguely.
After they came in, they had to separate again, first to see if any room was open, and if there were any survivors, they had to rush to rescue them.
The captain Mark and the crew all had wooden warehouses in their hands and chose to go another way.
Wuxia Jiuya, Fang Zi and the others chose a corridor and walked in.
"This research station is quite big." Lu Nan said.
Tang Yunsi pushed his glasses and said, "Indeed, there are many corridors and rooms on the left alone."
"And most of this side is a research room. I don't know if the ice cubes salvaged from the sea will be transported here."
If the body in the ice does come out.
That means the left is never safe.
The research station was also quite cold, and the breath he exhaled instantly turned white.
And even wearing thick clothes, Wu Xiajiu still felt his hands and feet were cold, plus, the world information reminder under the car mentioned that there would be a snowstorm...
At that time, I don't know how cold it will be here.
After entering, in order not to block the view, Wu Xiajiu took off the hat connected to the clothes on his head.
The same goes for everyone else.
He held the wooden warehouse he found out of his backpack in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.
The inside of the research station is also full of metal walls, doors and windows.
The windows are opaque, and most of the rooms are tightly closed. Wu Xiajiu tried the doorknobs for a long time, but none of them could be opened along the way.
Their figures are reflected on the doors, windows or metal walls, reflecting the light, and there are blurred shadows on the left and right sides.
And it seemed that it was due to the lack of electricity, before they walked through another closed door, the lights above their heads flickered.
Wu Xiajiu looked up.
Fang Zi said: "Professor Zheng said before that the energy source of the research station is insufficient."
"Isn't there going to be a power outage here after we come here?"
Tang Yunsi: "I hope not, otherwise I might not even be able to get out of the door."
After all, the doors of the research station are powered by electricity.
The windows and other places are built solidly, and it is definitely not something that can be destroyed by simple manpower.
If the power is really cut off, they will not be able to leave the research station until they find energy sources to generate electricity again.
Just as he was talking, Wu Xiajiu and others passed by the closed door.
And just after they walked over, the originally blurred figures reflected on the walls, doors and windows seemed to be distorted.
Immediately afterwards, no one noticed that a strange shadow seemed to be struggling to emerge from the wall.
The shadow followed the vague figures of Wu Xiajiu and others walking in the wall, ups and downs, originally like long black vertical bars, but it didn't take long for it to grow legs and body, becoming more and more human-like.
And just after the shadow took shape, it began to stretch out its hands from the wall, followed by its body and feet.
But after a while, a black figure that was completely dark, with no reflections on the walls, doors, windows, etc., left the wall and followed behind Wu Xiajiu and the others.
The black shadow stood on tiptoe and followed silently.
The face without a face seemed to be full of malice.
Finally, the black shadow was only two or three steps away from Wu Xiajiu and the others. It stretched out its twisted black hand and grabbed one of them.
However, before they could be caught, one of them suddenly turned around, and with a piece of talisman paper between his fingers, it quickly stuck to the hand and arm extended by the black shadow.
Suddenly, the black shadow let out a sharp whistling sound, retracted its arms, and melted into a pool of black liquid that looked like water.
But the black shadow didn't disappear. Instead, it quickly burrowed into the wall and disappeared in an instant.
The talisman in Wu Xiajiu's hand turned into ashes and fell down.
"What is this?" Lu Nan was taken aback.
Wu Xiajiu shook his head and was about to speak when he heard a terrified cry from afar.
"Go and have a look." Wu Xiajiu said while running towards the place where the voice came from.
Fang Zi and others followed behind.
After that terrified yell came, another yell came, full of fear, accompanied by the sound of wooden warehouses.
Wu Xia took a long time to identify the direction and found that it was the corridor chosen by the captain Mark and some crew members.
Their speed was very fast, and soon they came to the vicinity of Captain Mark and the others, and the sound of the wooden warehouse was close at hand.
And at this time, a crew member fell in front of them with his face covered in blood. His body was covered with ice slag, his face was as pale as if frozen, his legs and feet were also stiff, and he couldn't stand up.
But Wu Xiajiu raised his head and looked forward, and saw two ice figures about three meters high standing in the corridor attacking the captain Mark and other crew members.
The faces of these ice sculptures were exactly what he had seen in the pictures on the computer on the ship - those members of your tribe who were sealed in ice.
Sure enough, it came out.
Different from the "people" who still look normal inside the ice cube, after the ice cube melted, these You people came out, and their bodies also changed.
——The skin turned blue and hard, and ordinary bullets could only damage a little surface of the skin.
Moreover, their eyeballs are also transparent and bluish, and the ice sculptures have no expression on their faces, and their tall bodies stand in the corridor to deal with the crew members, catching each one accurately.
Once the pair of transparent and hard hands like ice sculptures touched the crew members, pieces of ice flowers would suddenly form.
If you don't want to escape, it will spread all over your body very quickly, and then you will also be frozen into ice sculptures.
After a long time, Wu Xia saw a lot of broken ice blocks on the ground, which were wrapped with minced meat and clothes...
And the crew is obviously too small.
What the result is, is self-evident.
At that time, there were quite a lot of ice cubes salvaged, and there were not ten, but eight or nine members of the Ni clan sealed inside. It was definitely not just the two you saw in front of you.
Wu Xia went forward for a long time, and soon found that the talisman paper did not work on the two ice sculptures.
In addition, the figures of the two ice sculptures are tall, close to three meters. Although the height of the corridor is only three or four meters, the movement of these ice sculptures is limited.
But the movements are still very soulful, at least, the speed is not too slow.
Seeing the two ice sculptors gradually approaching under the firepower of the captain Mark and the remaining two or three crew members.
Wu Xiajiu and the others could not help but frown.
The ice sculptures couldn't be pierced by bullets, so Wu Xiajiu immediately took out the dragon soul bone sword. After a while, the two ice sculptures fell to the ground with the melted ice water.
Captain Mark breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything, he heard chaotic and frightened voices from another direction.
"I'll go and have a look." Lu Nan said to Wu Xiajiu.
Professor Zheng Yu was with Ai Wei and others, and it stands to reason that nothing would happen.
After Lu Nan left, Wu Xiajiu and the others did not leave for the time being, but looked at the captain Mark and asked, "Where did these two ice figures appear?"
"The corner in front suddenly appeared." Mark said.
Wu Xiajiu walked over, holding the dragon soul bone sword in one hand and did not take it back.
When he reached the corner, he looked to the other side, and sure enough, there was an open door, and it seemed that nothing was going on inside.
Wu Xiajiu came to the opened door, and the inside was a research laboratory, with a bed frame in the middle and some instruments on both sides.
It seems that these two ice sculptures were placed here for research.
But what about the other ice sculptors?
Aren't we together?
Thinking of this, Wu Xiajiu turned to Mark and said, "How many crew members are left in your crew? How are the casualties?"
The captain Mark didn't follow up, afraid that there would be another ice figure, he turned around and glanced around, and then said with a disheartened face, "Five people..."
Moreover, four of the five crew members were caught by the ice sculpture man and were injured. The place where they were caught showed bruises and frozen marks, and they couldn't move at all.
Wu Xiajiu went over to have a look, and found that the muscle was necrotic.
So he, Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi, and Mark, who were not injured, helped the crew members who were about to freeze to death and walked back.
After a while, Wu Xiajiu saw Ivy and the others, and around them were scattered ice statues that were smashed into pieces.
Seeing this, Lu Nan walked over and said, "Three ice sculpture figures suddenly appeared and attacked Ivy and the others."
"Someone in Ivy's team has been scratched."
Wu Xiajiu looked at them, and the injured were Xiao Xiao and Zigua. They were caught by the arms of the ice sculpture man without any precaution, and fell on the wall.
Although the ice sculpture man didn't hold him all the time, strictly speaking, his arms were touched, but the two of them rolled up their sleeves, and the place where they were caught still showed bruises, which seemed to be about to freeze, but look It seems that the injury is lighter than that of the crew.
A Miao was standing beside Xiao Xiao, comforting her, trying to keep her warm, hoping that the injury would recover.
Xiao Xiao also smiled and said it was okay, indeed, as long as this little frozen injury is not life-threatening, it will naturally recover when she returns to the reincarnation train.
And these three ice figures also suddenly appeared from the room.
Just when they found an open room and walked through it, an ice hand stretched out from the room. Zigua was walking inside without defense, so he was caught straight.
But after Xiaoxiao was also scratched by the ice sculptures, the three ice sculptures were quickly solved by Ivy and Kuka.
Afterwards, they looked elsewhere.
In some closed rooms, Professor Zheng Yu has no authority, does not know the password, and cannot be opened, while the doors of some rooms are open, but no people in the research station or ice sculptures can be found inside.
Seeing that the room on the left was about to come to an end, they began to return, helping the wounded back to the place where they first entered from the research station.
And it just so happened that the person on the right also came out.
Seeing that someone was injured on Wu Xiajiu's side, it was obvious that some crew members were missing. The people on the right side were taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on.
Professor Zheng Yu talked about what happened here.
The building of the research station is constructed of specially selected materials, which not only insulate the cold, but also sound insulation is very good.
After going to the right, it is obvious that it is difficult to hear the movement from Wu Xiajiu's side.
Bi You stood beside Yang Gonghe, looked at Xiao Xiao and Zigua who were injured in Ivy's team and whispered, "Fortunately, we didn't go to the left."
On the right, they found the bodies of some research station personnel, all of them dead, and none of them were still alive.
In addition, the assistant Zuo checked the communication equipment on the right, hoping to get in touch with Professor Smith or Professor Zhang who left here.
However, the results are obvious, and there is still no signal.
A Zuo suggested that Professor Zheng Yu might as well move the communication equipment to this hall next to the door, and then turn off the electric switch on the right, which can save electricity to some extent.
Otherwise, if the electricity at the research station runs out, they will all be frozen.
Although it is cold inside the research station, there is still a gap compared to the outside.
Not only that, the assistant Ah Zuo said to ask Professor Zheng Yu to go to the right and count the number of people to see if all the people left in the research station died here.
After that, Professor Zheng Yu went to see it.
Before that, in order to prevent accidents on the left, they closed the door on the left again.
Except for the wounded who did not move, the others helped move out all the communication equipment.
Professor Zheng Yu checked the number of people, then frowned.
"There are two people missing," he said.
When Professor Smith and Professor Zhang left with some personnel from the research station, they passed him a list of personnel.
Professor Zheng Yu knows how many people are left in the research station.
But now one is counted and two are missing.
"One of them is Professor Zhang Boqian's assistant, He Peng. He did not leave the research station with Professor Zhang."
"The other person is the person in charge of communications, named Xiaofeng."
The two were gone.
Bi You said: "Could they have escaped from the inspection station?"
"Isn't there an observation station next to it?"
Professor Zheng Yu shook his head, and said: "The button over there is not lit, not to mention, neither He Peng nor Xiaofeng has the authority to open the observatory."
"There's no way they're going into the observatory."
Wu Xiajiu followed the gaze of Professor Zheng Yu—the button he was talking about was a red button on the console. If the gate of the observatory was opened and there were people inside, the red button would be on.
But now, the button is dark.
"Then where can these two people go? Didn't you see anyone on the left?" Bi You looked at Ai Wei, Wu Xiajiu and others.
When he looked at Wu Xiajiu, his eyes flickered, but there was no abnormal emotion on his face, which can be said to be well concealed.
And Bi You's companions, the prophet, the doctor, the night wolf and Yang Gonghe, didn't talk much along the way, showing other emotions.
Ivy shook her head: "I don't know, some doors on the left are closed, and you need to enter a password to get in."
"And the doors and windows are not transparent, who knows if there is anyone inside."
"If someone..."
If there are people inside, but they are making such a big commotion in the corridor on the left, if there are people, they should find a way to come out and check.
At this time, Wu Xiajiu remembered the black ghost they met in the corridor before, and spoke after Ivy finished speaking.
"There is such a thing, it seems to be on guard." Yu Ze clicked his tongue.
He was on the last stop of the reincarnation train. Although the red train was more dangerous, Shi Shangzuo also signed up for this train.
And the plans of these two...
As a friend, Yu Ze has to help no matter what, not to mention that he can confuse Duke even more by signing up.
Ivy turned her head and glanced at the closed metal door on the left, and said: "It's obviously dangerous here, even if someone is really hiding, and the sound doesn't come out, I'm afraid it's bad luck."
