Captain Rybalko stepped into the medical cabin.

This medical cabin is located below the deck in a hidden position. A bearded crew member is operating on the operating table. Although he is not wearing a white coat, he is indeed the doctor on this ship.

His expression was very solemn, and during the operation he would occasionally pick up the vodka next to the operating table and take a sip to calm down his shock.

At this moment, a dark red laser beam is being used to cut one of the remains, piece by piece, from head to toe, with each piece being no more than one centimeter thick.

Even Rybalko, who was born in the special forces, felt a little nauseous after taking a look at it from a distance.

--Those slices coded one by one are like cut-up beef, with the structures of blood vessels, nerves and organs clearly visible.

The temperature in the medical cabin is very low, and these slices will not thaw. After the slices are scanned, the computer will generate a 3D model of the person, and the cause of death will be revealed.

"It's not clear how they died?" Rybalko asked.

"The 3D modeling will still take a few hours." The doctor said: "But the conclusion is available now. They froze to death."

This conclusion sounds so reasonable. If you find a group of frozen people on the ice sea, you will immediately think that they were frozen to death.

But Rybalko still asked doctors to conduct the most detailed autopsy to find out the real cause of death.

Usually before people freeze to death, they will adopt a curled up position to preserve the last bit of heat. After a few hours to ten minutes of hypothermia, the body temperature will drop to about 25 degrees before death.

But many of these people died standing upright, as if the God of Death walked in front of them and blew an icy breath on them, freezing them to death in an instant.

Von Schneider did not ask Rybalko's people to do an autopsy, but asked them to preserve the remains in a cryogenic cabin, but Rybalko secretly kept one.

"Let's take a look at this slice," the doctor said.

Rybalko approached the operating table. The slice the doctor showed him should be from near the chest of the deceased. The outline of the heart was vaguely visible, and the heart muscle was still wrapped in frozen blood.

"His heart is still contracting, which means that at the moment before his death, his heart was still beating powerfully." The doctor said solemnly: "Ice crystals in the blood and cell fluid are not formed gradually, but gradually cool down.

The ice crystals would destroy the cell wall, but all his cells would be intact. If this kind of rapid freezing was to be done in a laboratory, he would have to be thrown alive into a large tank of liquid nitrogen."

"In the time it took his heart to beat once, he was frozen." Rybalko took a deep breath, "There shouldn't be such a cold environment on earth, right?"

"It's not on Earth, it should be on Pluto." The doctor looked into his eyes, "It's as cold as hell."

Rybalko was silent for a moment, "They are here to find Leviathan."

The doctor nodded, took a sip from the Vodka bottle, and handed the bottle over.

Rybalko also took a sip, "The offer is 450,000 US dollars for each of you and 7.5 million US dollars for me. They know the details of each of us."

"It's really rich. 450,000 US dollars is enough for me to buy a nice apartment in Moscow. My daughter has always wanted an apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows." The doctor smiled, "But can we get that money alive?

?”

Rybalko shook his head and said: "I don't know, but if I can go back alive, my 7.5 million will be shared equally with all of you."

The doctor hesitated for a while and then said: "Stop it, Captain, you can't make enough money, and you only have one life. No one has seen Leviathan, and no one even knows what it is. Is it really a white sperm whale?"

?”

His tone became excited, "Look at the corpse in front of you. He didn't know what would happen to him one second before he died. That thing is not something humans can deal with!"

"Stop? Are you kidding!" Rybalko also lost his usual calmness and became excited, "We have been to the temple, and the treasures there can buy the whole world, but we came back empty-handed! Who can

Are you willing? What does fate mean? Aren't bullets and bullets a common occurrence for people like us? We are so far away from home and are on this boat, why is it not for money?"

He loudly said: "There is endless money? Where will you make money when you return to Moscow? People from the security department will focus on you immediately, and maybe we will be thrown into prison! Have you earned enough alimony for your daughter? There is no support.

If you pay your ex-wife fees, you won’t even be able to see your daughter!”

His series of words left the doctor speechless. Yes, everyone cherishes their lives, but compared with the painful reality, life seems not that important.

Rybalko realized that he was a little out of control, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it and smoked hard.

After his mood calmed down a little, his eyes became a little confused, "Chu's body is still on that island. I want to bring him back and give him to his family."

"We all know that Chu is your good friend. If he hadn't stayed to stop those big snakes, we would all have died." The doctor sighed, "But Captain, do you really believe that that island exists? That might be all of us

Human illusion, there is no land there at all on the nautical chart."

"I believe, and I feel that as long as we find Leviathan, we can find the island again." Rybalko said firmly.

The doctor was stunned, "That island is related to Leviathan?"

Rybalko pointed to his ear, "When I saw the aurora, I heard the song of the whale."

The doctor's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't hear anything, and none of the other brothers mentioned it."

"Infrasound waves." Rybalko whispered: "Leviathan's singing is a kind of infrasound wave that most people can't hear. But I was born with a hearing disability, so I had surgery to install a cochlear implant. This device allows

I can hear sounds that most people can't hear, like whales, but much deeper."

Doctor: "You never told the brothers."

"I'm not sure. The sound came and went, much like a hallucination. But those wealthy guests suddenly bought the ship to hunt whales, and the two met. They must have known better, but they didn't follow.

"I said." Rybalko said seriously: "This is fate, fate lets us find Leviathan, and it will take us back to that island!"

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Rybalko and the doctor reacted at the same time. The former had a sharp tactical dagger in his hand, and the latter took out an AK47 from nowhere.

A crew member stumbled into the medical cabin. He was a trustworthy person.

"Captain!" the crew member gasped: "There may be survivors!"

…

The snowmobile came at high speed, with snow and dust all over the sky behind it. Before the motorcycle could stop, Rybalko jumped off.

This is a large island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago, located in the northeast of the archipelago, called Alexander Land.
