The snowmobile rushed out of the snow and dust at extreme speeds. Finger jumped off the motorcycle before it could stop.
His arms took off the windproof helmet at an extremely fast speed,
Almost at the same time, the burning smell of alcohol mixed with vomiting spurted out of his mouth, and then he fell into the snowdrift at his feet. Sorry, it was not because he was looking forward to seeing survivors, he was just motion sick.
I can't hold it in anymore.
Caesar got off the motorcycle and stared at Fingel in disgust as he threw up on the snowman's head. He really didn't want to admit that this guy was the head of the News Department of his student union.
They are now located on a large island in the French Joseph Islands, which is located in the northeast of the archipelago and is called Alexander Land. Their ship stopped in the direction where the scientific expedition team met their demise, which is more than ten kilometers away from this direction.
.
It is very incredible to find a survivor so far away. It is also difficult to imagine how this survivor survived in the ice and snow environment for half a month.
Schneider and Rybalko followed Caesar, and they walked towards a place in the distance where a crowd gathered. During this process, Schneider, the executive director, did not even look at Fingel.
Only the gentle Patsy walked towards Fingel, who was kneeling on the snow. At this moment, Fingel had completely lost his human form. He was paralyzed on the snow, and the face of the snowman beside him was covered with his dirty saliva.
.
But when Patsy walked in, she realized that Fingel didn't seem to have vomited much, but the smell of alcohol on his body was so strong that it made people want to throw him into the sea to feed the fish.
Patsy stared at Fingel, who was still vomiting, and hesitated for a moment, because they didn't have a long meal. During this process, Fingel didn't eat anything except drinking. So everything that came out of his mouth was
It was a suffocating drink. They poured over the snowman's head, making Patsy worried about the poor snowman.
Then he took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and placed it at his feet. He patted the other person on the back and turned to walk in the direction of Caesar.
Fingel glanced at the people in the distance quietly, and then met Patsy's eyes.
Ugh... Then the painful wailing sounded again, Patsy looked at Fingel worriedly and then turned and left.
"Go ahead and throw him back!" Caesar pointed to a man in the crew who had particularly good hearing. Fingel's vomiting had tainted the sound.
The crew member glanced at Captain Rybalko, who nodded.
After he left, everyone turned their attention to the underground well in front of them. This was an artificial facility, but it was not marked on the satellite map. However, this is very common. You can't see a single person in this deserted area for more than ten kilometers.
It is not surprising at all that one or two unreported facilities appear in places where there are shadows.
Moreover, it is far away from the research station. Maybe even the people stationed at the research station will not visit this desolate island, and they will not know about this ancient underground well.
It looks very old. The ice has left deep marks on the metal wellhead. The crew is using tools to clean the snow in the well. Half a month of snow has buried many things here. The cold is once again
Freeze the snowflakes together and they become as hard as stone.
On the other side of the wellhead, a white human figure was lying there. Like the previous victims, he was wearing the uniform of the scientific expedition team. Not far away was an overturned snowmobile. It could be seen that the person was lying there.
The situation is very critical.
This man was already dead, and one of his legs was broken at the knee. This situation would also happen to the previous victims. The body of the deceased who had just been frozen was very fragile, and it broke after struggling hard from the inside.
"Judging from the situation at the scene, one of the scientific expedition teams successfully escaped on a snowmobile. He may have wanted to enter this underground well to escape the severe cold, but he was still one step away." Caesar stared in front of him.
The corpse spoke.
Schneider glanced at Caesar.
This possibility is not completely non-existent. They know that those people died from the ultra-low temperature caused by a word spirit. The word spirit always has its own effective range, which is called a "field".
It is impossible for the Dragon King's domain to cover the entire Falas Joseph Land Islands. If this person was still some distance away from other people at the time, and when the incident happened, he saw his companions being killed from a distance, jumped on his motorcycle and left,
There might be a chance to avoid the Yanling's attack. But he was seriously injured. Although Yanling's domain was limited, the ultra-cold air in the domain and the surrounding atmospheric convection still caused the temperature in the surrounding area to drop by more than ten degrees.
Coupled with the regional ice storm caused by air convection, theoretically even if he successfully jumped into the well, he would not be able to survive as his body endured the huge cold. But why was he still so desperate? Could it be that life was at the end of his life?
Are you tenacious?
They stared at the crew members working in the well without saying a word. Any of their conclusions would be meaningless until the results came out.
The crew below kept passing objects dug out of the well. These were things from a long time ago.
Schneider took one of them, which was a triangle-shaped ice plug. It was covered with frozen ice slag, and some rusty black iron filings could be found inside.
But these are not the main point. He stared at the * shape on the ice pick, and then reached out to take the ice pick handed from below.
He found that all the objects found here had a * mark on them. No wonder this well was not marked on the map. Schneider guessed that this place was definitely connected to the German revolution of the last century.
"The facilities here haven't been used for many years. We probably won't find anything." Rybalko looked at the object in Schneider's hand and said.
The actual situation should be that this survivor or the scientific expedition team happened to discover this underground well. When the danger occurred, he happened to be nearby. He came here just to escape the ice storm, and there was probably nothing in the underground well.
Then this discovery is of little value. All they can do is take a photo with this unexpected discovery.
Schneider shook his head, then walked to the edge of the well, with Rybalko following behind. When he looked down, Rybalko discovered that the deceased was holding a rope in his hand, and a section of the rope was deep under the snow.
Caesar also came to the well and stared at the rope thoughtfully.
This person did not struggle to the edge of the well without climbing in, but first sent something into the well with a rope. In that dangerous time, it is conceivable that the thing was more important than his life, otherwise he would not be there.
In that kind of crisis, don't put your own in.
At the same time, the crew in the well finally used ice picks to smash the ice shell below, and white steam suddenly rose in the bottomless darkness.
This made everyone's faces full of curiosity. Could it be that there is a hidden crater under this underground well, providing geothermal energy to the nearby area?
Everyone looked at each other, and then Caesar turned over and jumped down.
…
Caesar was walking in front with a flashlight to illuminate the road, and Rybalko followed him with equal concentration. Although the place here was dark, it was not as abnormally cold as outside. No, it should be said to be very warm.
Behind the two of them were heavily armed crew members. They surrounded Schneider and stared vigilantly at the darkness around them. This underground well turned out to be just an entrance. After opening it, they found that the space underneath was much larger than expected.
It's too spacious.
This gave them the illusion of exploring a dark underground cave. They were always worried that bats with big mouths would pop out from all around.
As for whether there will be such creatures in the cold Arctic winter, senior captains will definitely tell you that no. But it is not necessarily the case here, because it is very warm here and is almost completely in a different world from the outside.
The crew members have taken off their cold-proof clothes because the temperature here is too warm. This is something difficult to understand. This well is located in the permafrost. Although to a certain extent, this thing can avoid the wind and cold.
It is not as warm as spring, which makes them more inclined to the existence of geothermal energy underneath.
As the flashlight illuminated the surroundings, they could see a lot of dust rising from the ground. It could be seen that this well had been abandoned for a long time. Could it be that the Germans had left some kind of heating system here?
"The nuclear radiation exceeds the standard." Caesar in front suddenly stopped. He stared at the Geiger counter in his hand, his eyes reflecting blue light in the darkness, "This may be a nuclear facility."
"The German nuclear facility?" Rybalko said,
During World War II, both the United States and Germany were researching nuclear weapons. The Americans had the "Manhattan Project" and the Germans also had the "Uranium Project." However, Germany did not build an atomic bomb that could change the war situation. Maybe it was just a first-generation atomic bomb.
Experimental items.
"This is a discovery that can shock the world. But why are they still operating now? It doesn't look like anyone is maintaining this place."
"It may be an Oklo nuclear reactor," Schneider said. "It has been running on its own for decades, so it has always maintained such a warm space in the Arctic Circle."
"Does that mean there might really be survivors?" Caesar stared at the darkness ahead and looked at a corner.
Rybalko glanced at Caesar and subconsciously pointed the flashlight in his hand in the direction he was looking.
The next second, a small figure flashed past the corner at an extremely fast speed, but Rybalko could still see it clearly. It was a small Arctic hare.
In fact, from the moment they entered this underground well, they felt a strong breath of life from the surroundings. Plants rarely seen in the cold zone grew here. Whether it was the waterfall-like vines on the wall or the slippery moss under their feet, they
I don’t know how many times I have stepped on animal bones.
The warm environment brought by the possible nuclear facilities here has completely changed the surrounding environment. It has become a place for nearby animals to escape the low temperature. Weak creatures will thrive here, and powerful creatures will also hunt here.
After Leviathan released the terrifying word spirit, the entire French Joseph Islands became a restricted area for life. Not to mention humans who would be instantly frozen, even those animals that had lived here all year round and were accustomed to the severe cold could not withstand that kind of freezing.
all the cold,
But the creatures here still survive unaffected. This may be the only place with natural creatures on the entire island. The nuclear facilities left by the Germans have preserved the only ecology here.
"Be careful, maybe the result is not as good as we expected." Caesar slowly pulled out the saber from his waist. He felt very bad here. Although this is a place full of life, it is also a place full of life.
A place full of killing.
When Caesar's voice fell, everyone raised their AK-47s one after another, and the sound of loading was extremely clear in the silent black hole.
They continued to move forward, and from time to time there were whispers of whistling in the darkness. They didn't know which animal had dug the hole for ventilation, or whether the worn-out system was on the verge of being scrapped and needed repairs.
Caesar also slowly expanded the territory of the Word Spirit Scythe Weasel in all directions,
Suddenly, more complex sounds reached his ears. He heard the heartbeat of small animals, the soft sound of water droplets splashing on the moss, and even the sound of a fox snoring in the pipe.
suddenly,
Caesar suddenly raised his hand, and Rybalko behind him quickly stopped. He stared at the tight aura surrounding Caesar, quickly pulled out his saber from his waist, and stared at the surroundings with vigilance.
The companions behind him formed a group because of the captain's actions, protecting Schneider in the middle.
As the surrounding gradually became quieter, the sounds in Caesar's ears became clearer. He heard the sound of eating, which was the sound of food being stirred by sharp teeth. This sound was very strange, almost mixed with the sound of the surrounding wind.
If it weren't for Kamaitachi, Caesar would have missed it.
He took a deep breath, turned the flashlight in his hand, and the light flowed along the slippery wall.
In the corner where the light stopped, Rybalko's body suddenly froze in place. At the end of the large pipes in front, a furry white figure squatted in the corner. Thick blood stains flowed along the ground, and there were splashes of blood from time to time.
Flowers appear from the front of the back.
At this moment, the sound seemed to be infinitely amplified, the sound of teeth and flesh rubbing against each other, and even the sound of bones being crushed filled his ears, and the ears of everyone else, like a bloodthirsty devil stalking them.
There was a grin in their ears. A cold chill crept up their spines.
The crew behind him raised their AK47s one after another, and the sound of loading echoed in the small space.
Their movements also woke up the white figure who was eating,
The figure turned his head and looked back alertly, and the next moment, a pair of bright and scary eyes suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
It turned out to be a human eye, a child wearing a polar bear skin.
The other party's breathing was as rapid as a wild animal in the darkness.
