Chapter 169 168 Deceiving Tianji, the expedition team
"Is something wrong?"
Chen Jue frowned slightly when he heard this. Linglong was a martial arts elixir that had emerged from the hail of bullets and life-and-death fights. The other party's observation ability was no weaker than that of Chen Jue, a worldly immortal. Since the other party had a similar reaction, there should be nothing wrong with it.
.
It's just that Chen Jue's heavenly being sensed Zhao Zhen, as if he had been deceived by heaven's secret.
As for John, Tom and other staff at the scientific research station, Chen Jue could clearly sense that their bodies and wills were slightly stronger than ordinary people, so that they could survive and work in this extremely cold environment.
"Is it because the other party has practiced Yoga Mahamudra and is able to calm his mind?" Chen Jue guessed that when he was looking for exercises on the Internet before, Chen Jue had seen the meditation practice of Yoga Mahamudra.
It involves very mysterious spiritual cultivation, just like Chen Jue measuring the earth and training his heart in the red dust.
It's just that it's very difficult to achieve spiritual effects from this kind of quiet practice, unless you are truly devout to the Buddha.
"Since you have sensed this, fellow Taoist, let's just act according to the situation."
"He's just a yoga master. Even if he knows a few tricks, he can never be a match for you and me." Chen Jue pondered for a moment and then suggested.
Linglong nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Now that you've come, let's make peace with it, that's all it can do."
…
The two communicated in the room for a while, Linglong went back to the room to rest, while Chen Jue left the dormitory and came to the hall of the scientific research station.
Due to John's arrival, a batch of supplies was delivered, and the staff at the scientific research station were busy sorting and receiving them. They said they were going to hold a celebration party for a few people in the evening.
Chen Jue did not follow the work, but put on his down jacket and walked out of the scientific research station. He stepped on the thick ice and snow all the way to a nearby low hill and looked at the endless white world around him.
Although the sun is high in the sky, Chen Jue can't feel the slightest warmth. Moreover, it is November now, and the Antarctic continent will begin to enter the long polar day, which will last until March of the following year.
But not long after Chen Jue came out to observe the surrounding environment, he heard the crunching of footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Zhao Zhen was also climbing up the short hill with his hands tightly covered.
"Mr. Chen Jue, are you familiar with Miss Linglong? Can you tell me her story?" Zhao Zhen stepped forward and asked with a slightly red face, just like an ordinary young man who fell in love.
.
"Um... you have to ask her yourself about this. She and I are just ordinary friends. We haven't met more than three times, and we don't know each other deeply." Chen Jue didn't expect that the other party would ask him to inquire about others so straightforwardly.
secret.
Moreover, looking at Zhao Zhen's expression, he didn't look like he was lying anymore. The admiration hidden in his eyes made it seem like he really fell in love with Linglong at first sight.
Chen Jue had watched overseas films and television works before, and knew that gringos were not as reserved as young flower growers when it came to pursuing love. They all focused on love at first sight and going straight to the point. Unexpectedly, he met him as soon as he arrived in Antarctica today.
"That's it! Then I'd better ask Miss Linglong directly." Zhao Zhen scratched his head and acted very shy. However, when the other party learned that Chen Jue and Linglong were just casual acquaintances, he seemed to be relieved.
He probably regarded Chen Jue as an imaginary love rival.
…
The two chatted while enjoying the wind and snow on the top of the hill. Chen Jue learned from the other party that there were a total of ten outdoor experts at the scientific research station who were out on adventures.
Zhao Zhen is one of them. His father, Tom, seldom goes out due to his old age. The other nine people are divided into three groups. They drive sled boats and polar off-road vehicles on time at 6 o'clock every morning until 11 o'clock in the evening.
He would only come back around once, and sometimes he would go deep into the restricted area and repair at the supply depots he passed, returning only once every few days or even half a month.
Such a search for a needle in a haystack has been going on for several years, but very few meteorite fragments have been found.
Fortunately, Hongmou Scientific Research Station has not gained nothing from these years of exploration. In addition to finding meteorite fragments of more than ten carats, it has also accumulated a lot of experience.
The search scope is constantly narrowing as the elimination method is advanced, and success is not far away.
The arrival of Chen Jue and Linglong has added a special search team. They will face a more severe Antarctic outdoor environment and need to go deeper and more inaccessible to untrodden places.
As for Zhao Zhen, he is the guide of their special team, responsible for guiding the two of them in the general search direction.
…
After chatting for a while, Chen Jue asked Zhao Zhen where there were seals and penguins that could be petted. Zhao Zhen said that he would take Chen Jue there if he had the chance. Chen Jue smiled and nodded, and the two of them descended the short hill one after another.
Chen Jue returned to the dormitory and checked every corner of the dormitory to make sure that no one was monitoring him, and then he started practicing Wudang's Golden Toad Kung Fu.
This exercise has a miraculous effect on exercising the internal organs. I didn’t pay much attention to it before. However, after arriving in Antarctica, Chen Jue found that the oxygen outdoors was very thin, so he took this opportunity to try it out and practice it in a targeted way to adapt to the environment.
The muffled sound of "cuckoo" and "cuckoo" echoed in Chen Jue's dormitory room. His room was at the end of the corridor, next to Linglong. On the other side was the warehouse, and the walls of the dormitory were very soundproof, so the movement of practicing was
It won't disturb outsiders.
When the time came to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jue had already upgraded the Golden Toad Kung Fu to a level, and his physical attributes had increased by 0.02. He felt a little hungry in his stomach, and the smell of the oven wafted in from outside, so Chen Jue stopped practicing and walked out.
door.
When I came to the lobby, I saw that the staff of the scientific research station had arranged a simple self-service party, and a variety of Western-style meals such as baking, French fries, burgers, steaks, and cheese baked began to be served on the table.
Chen Jue was not polite, took a plate, picked up the food and started eating.
After a while, more and more people attended the party in the hall. John and Tom appeared together and introduced Chen Jue and Linglong, who were newly added to the expedition team. Warm cheers and applause rang out in the hall.
However, most of the staff spoke foreign languages, and Chen Jue could only get a rough idea of what they were talking about. He smiled and ate Western food by himself throughout the process.
And Zhao Zhen, who was eager for love, actually came up to Linglong and started chatting with her amidst the booing of a group of foreigners.
What surprised Chen Jue was that Linglong did not refuse others as she did before, but instead smiled and communicated with the other person without saying a word.
After the party was over and everyone went back to their dormitories to rest, Chen Jue heard several engine roars coming from outside the scientific research station. He thought it was the teams that had gone out to explore and returned.
He did not go out to watch, but practiced the Golden Toad Kung Fu by himself in the dormitory. When he went to bed, he had improved his proficiency in the Hidden Dragon Sleeping Pill Kung Fu.
As for the small insulated window, you can enter the polar day phenomenon unique to Antarctica. Even at 12 o'clock at night, the sky is still bright, just like a white night, which looks unique.
…
After a dreamless sleep, Chen Jue woke up the next day and found that the Hidden Dragon Sleeping Alchemy Skill had been improved to Lv2 (342/500), and he was not far away from making another breakthrough.
After washing up, he went to the canteen of the scientific research station to have a Western-style breakfast of bread, milk and eggs. Chen Jue found that the staff in the canteen were cleaning a lot of used dishes. Apparently someone got up earlier than Chen Jue.
Came over for breakfast.
And the roar of the engine sounded again outside the house. It was probably that the group who came back last night went out to explore again.
"You wake up so early, don't you need more rest? Are you working so hard?" Chen muttered with determination.
After breakfast, Chen Jue arrived at the office where he was yesterday. Since he got up too early, there was no one in the office yet, so Chen Jue picked up the scattered materials and read them bit by bit.
One of the maps was full of marks, with crosses and circles everywhere, and some deeper locations with question marks, which were obviously places that had not been visited yet.
Just as he was watching in rapt attention, Linglong walked in with an expressionless face. She probably grew up overseas and was more accustomed to Western food than Chen Jue. At this moment, she sat down at the long table with a cup of hot coffee and faced Chen Jue.
Jue said: "Fellow Taoist, have you seen the nine members of the expedition team who came back last night?"
"No, they seemed to have gone out early in the morning. What's wrong? Did you sense something was wrong?" Chen Jue raised his head and glanced at the other party in confusion.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much." Seeing that Chen Jue didn't react, Linglong didn't ask any more questions, and just drank coffee while reading the information.
After the two of them had browsed through the information on the table, John, Tom, and Zhao Zhen walked in and began to set up today's preliminary exploration mission.
Since both Chen Jue and Linglong had just arrived in Antarctica and were not familiar with the environment, Tom took a map and circled an unexplored area closer to them.
After putting on their equipment and bringing supplies, Chen Jue, Linglong, and Zhao Zhen got into a polar off-road vehicle with the Hongmu logo printed on it and started heading straight for their destination.
The fourth update is here~
Pian Feng goes to bed first and will continue to update everyone tomorrow.
This chapter also has a lot of transitional foreshadowing content~ Why do I feel a little wet myself? (Pause my face) I’ll post some useful information tomorrow. Changing maps and plots have to progress slowly (I’ll give you a thumbs up)
Chapter completed!
