Chapter 248 The important thing is not the past but the future
[The first extremely favored person we discovered was an Inuit.]
【He is called the Ice Reader by us.】
[This Arctic native can determine whether there is open water 20 kilometers away and whether there are large whales by observing the reflection of ice in the clouds. 】
[This kind of keen observation is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people. 】
(This is not made up by the author, the old Inuit can indeed do this kind of thing.)
Huo Yu let out a long breath, picked up the vodka on the table and took a sip to calm down his shock.
In other words, is the so-called extremely favored person the possessor of some special ability?
In other words, superpowers?
Swallowing the cold wine in his mouth, Huo Yu couldn't wait to continue reading.
[With the appearance of the first favored one, we gradually discovered the existence of more suspected favored ones.]
[Their abilities are also varied, some can talk to polar creatures, some can run on the snow all day long, and some are as strong as a polar bear!]
[What is surprising is that once these favored ones leave the Arctic range, these strange abilities will immediately cease to function. 】
Huo Yu took a breath of cold air.
It's not that these special abilities subverted his cognition.
He has long known that this world is not simple. Whether it is the black technology of the Ice Keepers, the multifunctional base vehicles, or the mysterious and long-standing Ice Keepers organization, they all declare that this world is special.
What shocked him even more was that he had all these abilities!
Even his own abilities are stronger than those of the favored ones in these records.
This coincidence even gave him some creepy feelings.
[In order to understand the reason for this phenomenon, the Ice Keepers sent a special investigation team to investigate all people suspected of being favored, and finally came to a shocking conclusion. 】
[Eighty percent of these people have followed scientific expedition teams to the North and South Poles, and the closer they are to the poles, the greater the possibility of being favored. 】
[It is not accurate to call the abilities obtained by these favored people as superpowers, because the abilities born in them seem to be for better survival in the polar regions. 】
[It seems that there is something there at the pole that hopes humans can further explore the Arctic.]
Huo Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and filled himself up with vodka again without expression.
When he learned the information from Captain Jack's tombstone before, he thought that the things existing near the pole were the enemies of mankind.
But after reading this text, this idea was subverted again.
What exactly exist at the extremes? Are they good or bad to mankind, enemies or friends?
And why does this conclusion that the closer you are to the extreme position, the more likely you are to be favored, seem so unreliable?
Are you sure this is favor and not radiation?
What puzzles Huo Yu the most is whether his system is the product of extreme favor?
But I didn't get the system in the Arctic. The system appeared after traveling through it, and it already exists in China.
It was only fully activated after arriving at the North Pole.
[The extreme anomaly has aroused our high vigilance. We hope that all icekeepers can abide by the following principles:]
[1. When your body has a positive abnormality, please don’t make it public and just observe it silently. 】
[Second, if you are sure that you have acquired a certain ability, please do not tell anyone, including your superiors.]
[Three, please do not overuse the ability that relies on you. It can be easily given to you, and naturally it can be taken away at any time. ]
At this point, the content of the first article has ended. Huo Yu subconsciously clicked to turn the page to the next article, only to find several large red characters appearing on the computer screen:
Your permissions cannot be viewed. Please work hard to upgrade the icekeeper level.
Huoyu:(ノ｀Д)ノKeyboard
Who did you learn this from? How can you still write a paper out of chapters?
But it is understandable, after all, this is information that can be seen by intermediate icekeepers, and it is also top-secret information at the red level.
The yellow level is not allowed to be disclosed to ordinary people, while the red level is not allowed to be disclosed to anyone, including one's own people within the Ice Keepers.
Similarly, red-level top-secret information can only be digested and understood by oneself, and discussion among icekeepers is not allowed.
Any icekeeper who sees the red document must really keep his mouth shut, otherwise he will face severe punishment.
Huo Yu drank the rest of the wine in his glass, leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
...
"So many abilities?" The old man looked at Wu Song with some suspicion, "There has never been a favored person with so many abilities, right?"
"It has indeed never appeared." Wu Song nodded in agreement, "The favored person who appeared recently was the genius with excellent pistol talent a few years ago."
The old man leaned back relaxedly on the leather chair behind him, tapping his fingers on the handle, as if thinking about something.
"Is this child reliable?"
"reliable."
As if he felt that these two words were not very convincing, Wu Song added another sentence:
"His father is Huo Jinghuan."
"Oh?" The old man sat up straight and showed surprise for the first time, "That is indeed very reliable."
"Don't alarm him first. Let's secretly observe this child's temperament."
Wu Song quickly said: "I know this child very well. He is a very principled and sensible child."
The old man raised his head and said calmly: "Xiao Song, anyone who suddenly obtains a power beyond their imagination will have a significant change in temperament."
"We cannot take it lightly just because he was a good person before. What matters is not the past but the future."
Wu Song was slightly stunned and stood there silently.
The old man raised his eyes and said helplessly: "You haven't said anything to him, have you?"
Wu Song shook his head and said: "No."
"That's good, let's observe it for a while."
"But I raised his permission to browse the database to the level of a senior icekeeper."
elder:...
...
The little fish climbed out of the fish pond and tiptoed into the control room.
Huo Yu was still sitting in front of the computer, his body motionless.
Xiaoyu walked over with some worry and gently pulled Huoyu's trouser legs with his little paws.
Huo Yu remained unresponsive, like a clay sculpture.
The little fish pulled for a long time, but when Huo Yu still didn't respond, he jumped on the stool anxiously.
As soon as he jumped into Huo Yu's arms, the little fish heard a faint cry:
Huhuhu——
Xiaoyu:???
Was he asleep?
The little guy was relieved and just about to jump off, he caught sight of the half-cup of vodka on the table next to Huo Yu.
The little fish jumped on the table, put its little nose next to the wine glass and sniffed.
It doesn't smell like wolf urine either.
The next second, it curiously stuck out its tongue and took two licks.
...
Twenty minutes later.
Xiaotuan walked into the control room and looked at the unconscious man and the wolf, lost in thought.
