In that violent impact, the documents in Manstein's hand fell to the ground with a crash. They fell like snowflakes rolling in the sky, blocking the only space between the two.
The night watchman stepped forward and crossed paths with Manstein.
The usually sloppy footsteps were unusually crisp at the moment, as if a tall and handsome cowboy was walking by with his head held high.
The sound of footsteps slowly stopped,
"Son," the night watchman's voice rang in Manstein's ears, but Manstein didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now. He just stood there quietly,
He didn't answer or turn around.
But at this moment, Manstein obviously missed something extremely important. If he turned around at this moment, he would see a man almost standing in the bright light. The man was wearing jeans, with his hands in his pockets, and his bright smile was like the one frozen in the photo.
The handsome guy in.
"Son, I was fooled by that old thing." The night watchman's voice continued, but this voice made Manstein's body stiffen a bit, and his consciousness was brought back to reality.
"A trick was put on by the principal?" Manstein had doubts in his heart.
"You should still be in the meeting." The night watchman's voice changed and he did not go into depth on the previous content.
"Ah." Manstein nodded.
"Then come with me. It's time to make some old guys fear us." The night watchman stepped forward without stopping,
Behind him, Manstein listened blankly to the serious voice of the night watchman. He slowly turned around and stared at the figure that gradually disappeared from sight, his blue-gray eyes flashing with shock that could not be concealed before.
"It's time to make some old guys fear us..." The other party's voice echoed in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
He stared at the figure that was gradually moving away. The cruel side of the other person still appeared at the end of his sight.
But it was difficult for him to merge the other person with the sloppy back he once had.
"Dad...what happened..."
…
YAMAL number
Schneider stared at Captain Rybalko standing in the room. Compared to the thugs outside who were almost paranoid and crazy,
The captain's emotional control was extremely good, but even so, Schneider could still clearly feel the fear hidden deep in the opponent's body.
No one was not afraid. When the snake tide almost drowned them, no one could witness that scene calmly.
And at the moment when someone can kill all the snakes with a wave of his hand, no one can stop the fear from transferring and spreading again.
Schneider stretched out his withered hand and handed a pale white metal box to Patsy's hand. He didn't hide anything and got straight to the point.
"We recommended that the girl be fitted with an arterial lock."
"Arterial lock?" Rybalko couldn't help but frown. As a former Alpha special forces force, he had heard of this thing.
It is said to be an arterial lock, but it is actually an explosive device. With the help of cardiac imaging, the wire equipment is accurately inserted around the heart. Each wire will be associated with a main blood vessel. When necessary, they will cause an extremely slight explosion.
But it is powerful enough to blow up all the aorta around the heart. This kind of weapon will only be used against some special prisoners. When used on people, as long as the button is pressed, there will be almost no hesitation.
die.
But could that girl really be human?
Rybalko recalled the previous scene in his mind. It was hard for him to imagine that the scales that could not be penetrated by AK47 bullets would shatter like pieces of paper at the sound of the girl's voice.
For this kind of monster, are conventional weapons really useful even if they are installed at the heart? Or, is the heart really their weak point?
Looking at the captain's silent expression, Patsy smiled politely, and then softly said
"Captain doesn't have to worry about the power of arterial locks. There are many high-risk hybrids wearing arterial locks in prisons on deserted islands in the South Pacific.
They can roam freely, chat, bask in the sun, and even occasionally go to the other end of the island to pitch a tent for the night without anyone caring about them. However, there is a person on the island who holds the controller of their artery lock. Once he loses control, his heart will be
Explode. The design is very clever, and it will explode directly if it is dismantled.
Even the Dragon King’s regenerative ability cannot heal itself when all the aorta are destroyed and in a mess.”
Rybalko looked at Schneider and Patsy with still hesitant expression, "Who controls the controller?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Captain." Passi politely smiled apologetically at Rybalko, "We cannot leave the controller in your hands, Captain. Only by placing the controller in our hands can we protect the safety of Snow.
We are not controlled by fear and will not make irrational decisions. Killing Snow will not solve the root of the problem
Moreover, our own interests are the same, and no one wants to see the plague spread wantonly."
"If she really has a problem..."
"We will press the button without hesitation." Patsy said with a smile.
"Then will she agree to our request?" The captain was obviously persuaded.
"We will perform surgery on the pretext of medical examination of all crew members." Patsy continued to smile.
The captain nodded and the room fell into silence,
"Is it really okay for us to cheat on a girl?"
What is surprising is that Captain Rybalko rarely spoke in a voice that did not match his tough and rough image.
This scene not only stunned Patsy for a moment, but also made Schneider's expression stiffen when he was sitting in front of the fireplace.
But they soon realized, "None of us want to deceive a little girl, but reality often requires us to make a choice. Our current behavior is actually to protect her. If we cannot achieve unity of internal opinions,
Disagreement will only make us die faster at this stage."
Schneider's voice was hoarse and sad, but it echoed in everyone's heart.
The captain smiled and nodded. It wasn't that he didn't know this, but he would inevitably feel embarrassed when he really needed to do it.
"Now that we have decided, let's start as soon as possible." Schneider said solemnly, "The physical examination starts with the crew."
…
Xue Leng opened her eyes and looked at the two people in the room, revealing an unconcealed hostility deep in her eyes.
The girl held a polar bear in one hand, tied up her hair to make her look like a small Inuit hunter, and had several long-handled grenades found in the ammunition depot on her belt.
She probably knew that most people on the ship didn't trust her, and was ready to leave the ship at any time and venture into the ice and snow.
This is a child who looks pitiful on the surface but is full of wildness at heart. When Caesar discovered him, she was hiding in a geothermal well full of dangers and attacking those who were following them.
"We know you may be resistant to this kind of thing, but this is just a physical examination. It will be over soon." Schneider patiently explained to Xue opposite him in a coaxing tone, but it was a pity that Schneider's appearance was not the same.
Not suitable for reassuring children,
He might be more suitable as the hungry wolf that scares children.
Patsy, who was standing behind Schneider, laughed at the scene in front of him, but he always felt that there was a possibility that he might be exposed.
"You should have heard about those crew members who are seriously ill with a certain virus. They are now panicking and worried that this virus will infect everyone on the ship. So in order to calm their emotions, we have to adopt this method of large-scale physical examination.
"
"But I've never heard of an anesthetic injection being required for a physical examination." Xue tried to retort in broken English.
"Normal physical examination is naturally not required, but we suspect that this virus is an ancient virus frozen in the iceberg. It parasitizes the bodies of those monsters in ways we don't know. They may even come from the mysterious sunset place.
,
For this kind of unnatural virus, we need to take special measures to ensure that they are found and will not infect every one of us. To be precise, this is more like a minimally invasive surgery." Schneider spread his hands helplessly.
"Don't worry Xue, Percy and the captain have already completed their physical examinations, and many crew members have also completed their physical examinations. Now we need Xue to cooperate with us."
Xue finally agreed to the operation under Schneider's guidance, which made both Schneider and Patsy behind him breath a sigh of relief.
They were somewhat relieved, but in fact, none of them wanted to explain the surgery to Xue Duoduo.
Minimally invasive surgery is indeed true, but it is not a physical examination, but the installation of an arterial lock. The doctor will make extremely small incisions on Xue’s body.
Let the sterile platinum filaments enter her body and wrap around the arteries around her heart. The entire operation is easier than installing dentures.
After the operation, it was difficult for Xue to notice the changes in his body. The control device was just a thin slice the size of a fingernail, hidden on the edge of the ribs. The entire device weighed only a dozen grams in total.
A person who has an arterial lock implanted will be fine with it for the rest of his life, but a person with a remote control can kill the other person at any time.
This is a very cruel thing, but it is something that has to be done at present. Even Schneider and Patsy have no way to ensure that the snow is really harmless.
Once things go wrong, they may face the same risks as Leviathan.
Of course, the doctor who performed the operation was not the ship's doctor on the YAMAL, nor could it be the ship's doctor on the YAMAL. They wanted to kill the girl in front of them immediately. Although there were ways to make mutual compromises, no one would take the risk.
The doctor who performed the surgery was from the Kassel Institute and was also a certified American professional doctor. During the entire preparation stage for the micro-surgery, the only minor problem encountered was that Xue was a girl.
Exposing your body in front of boys will instinctively produce a kind of resistance.
However, this was quickly calmed down. Xue was successfully injected with anesthesia and pushed into the operating room.
But just as the operation was about to begin, something unexpected happened that no one expected.
…
"Captain! Captain!" The sound of rapid footsteps was accompanied by a panicked push of the door.
A man with a Slavic face wearing a cold-weather suit and an AK47 stood panting at the door of the room.
"Why panic!" The captain looked at the team members who were in such a mess among the guests, and his anger surged instantly. The trouble caused by this group of losers some time ago gave him huge pressure, and now he was in such a mess that he was even more embarrassed to behave in front of Schneider.
"Captain! Snake...snake!" The burly man trembled, his eyes widening with fear that could not be concealed.
"Snake!" The moment the voice appeared in the room, Captain Rybalko rushed out like crazy.
This thing has left enough psychological shadow on them, and now even he who has been on the verge of death all year round gets scared when he hears this word.
The moment Rybalko rushed out of the room, Patsy followed closely at Schneider's greeting.
And Schneider pushed the wheelchair to follow closely.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the YAMAL became tense again like an arrow.
…
…
After eating the self-heating canned food and some heated water, Caesar and Fingel fell into sleep.
Fingel slept soundly during this process, or in other words, he slept soundly every day. He seemed to have no sense of crisis at all, and even when being chased by several polar bears, he was able to purr as if he were home.
Big sleep.
The sound of snoring almost competed with the barking of the sled dogs outside.
Lying next to him was Caesar with a pair of bell-like eyes,
In the dim and pitch-black environment, those blue eyes radiated fiercely like a cheetah crawling in the grass.
At a certain moment, Caesar suddenly lifted off the quilt on his body and rushed out of the tent.
But the moment he appeared on the vast snowfield, he suddenly froze.
To be precise, he was frightened. Goosebumps all over his body rose densely with the cold air he inhaled, as if someone was stuffing frozen ice cubes into his mouth, stimulating the internal organs to contract and pump out wildly.
The polar night has already begun. Naturally, they who go deep into the Arctic Circle will not see the light of dawn.
But at this moment, Caesar looked up at the gauze-like blue sky. The almost shocking and suffocating aurora lay across the night. It was as bright as the skirt of a goddess, boundless, until the end of the sea and sky.
I don't know when the ice storm stopped, and the world was so lonely that it felt like the world had just opened. This was a scene that could only be found in fairy tales. It was so beautiful that people wondered whether they were lost in a dream.
Caesar slapped himself hard, and the burning sting made his numb nerves feel a little better.
Caesar didn't even have time to wake up Fingel in the tent. His pursuit of beauty made him wish he could stand on the highest point of the ice peak and look up at the sky.
He ran as hard as he could, and his vision continued to expand as he rose higher.
Looking at the boundless snowfield, the endless snowfield reflects the sky like a mirror, reflecting the sky as beautiful as a blue skirt.
And he stood under the mountainside, as small as a stone around him.
It seemed that it was the sound of Caesar's running footsteps that woke up Fingel, or it seemed that this guy was born with a keen intuition.
