The seats inside the ice car are not spacious, especially the passenger seat, which is obviously designed to tilt the space for carrying cargo and compress the passenger's position.
However, the driver's seat is very large, and those complicated instrument panels obviously require professionals to operate them.
The car Chen Nuo was in was car No. 8.
That's right, number eight.
The convoy that entered the red circle consisted of eight snowmobiles, and three vehicles carried three groups of ability users.
There are also five snowmobiles, all pretending to be external cargo holds, loaded with some equipment, as well as people from the Octopus Company, such as Nolan and Varnell, several technicians, and ten fully armed personnel.
of combatants.
Who knows where the mercenaries were hired at a high price this time.
But judging from his figure and accent, he must be from Lao Maozi's side, and he is resistant to cold and frost. He is probably Davari's fellow Siberian.
Sitting in the car, the snowmobile swayed slightly and moved forward at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
The visibility was not very good, the wind was strong, and the ground was uneven, causing the car to bump slightly.
Chen Nuo noticed that there was a screen on the car's instrument panel, which was obviously something like a radar.
The ten minutes after entering the red circle were uneventful.
The driver was a man with an indifferent expression. He looked powerful, but he was very skilled in technique and operation. Chen Nuo did not ask whether this man was a mercenary or someone belonging to the octopus monster.
This guy didn't talk much. He just drove silently along the way and operated the instrument from time to time.
Eight vehicles were driving on the ice field. The first vehicle was the wizard's group of ability users. In the middle was a group led by Diamond Lilian.
Chen Nuo's group was postponed.
Very normal distribution.
The temperature inside the car was not too high, staying at around 10 degrees Celsius, but it was quite bumpy.
The captain continued to maintain a cold attitude and said nothing, and Soichiro the Neon God was also relatively silent, but his cold-proof clothes were open, revealing a green jacket and sweatshirt, which always looked a bit eye-catching.
The woman named Rebecca looked around, obviously still curious about the various functions on the car's instrument panel.
Gradually, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and patterns of condensed ice crystals appeared on the window glass on both sides. In order to keep warm and reduce consumption, the windows were modified to be very small, only the size of a bowl.
"There are still ten minutes to arrive at the base. The current outdoor temperature is minus 59 degrees." After contacting the command vehicle, the driver coldly informed the passengers in the car: "The temperature is lower than expected, but it is considered a normal fluctuation."
Chen Nuo said nothing.
He could see that although the captain's face was calm, his squinted eyes were a bit nervous. Chen Nuo thought for a moment, lightly touched the captain's leg, and whispered: "Boss, do you need some water?"
This is the secret code the two of them have prepared.
Drinking water means: Don’t worry, it’s okay.
The captain glanced at Chen Nuo, shook his head slowly, and said calmly: "No need."
Chen Nuo was very confident... even if there was an accident, he would still be able to escape safely with the captain.
If it doesn't work, just use the "Teleport" skill, you can always jump out of the ultra-low temperature range of the red circle.
Rebecca turned her head and glanced at these two people...the master controller and his followers.
Actually, Rebecca always felt a little weird.
Of course, this is not a woman's sixth sense, but Rebecca's ability.
She has a special ability that allows her to keenly sense the murderous intent and hostility in the surrounding environment. This is a branch similar to the spiritual ability, which is very rare, but often very useful. And this ability does not need to be turned on actively, but
It is a kind of passive perception.
This is one of the abilities for which she is famous.
After getting close to these two people, Rebecca unexpectedly felt that the captain felt okay, although he was aloof.
On the contrary, Rebecca always felt uncomfortable when she was near this horse boy named Anderson.
I always feel that this guy named Anderson has a hint of "murderous aura" in him that makes Rebecca very uncomfortable!
Even if this person showed a harmless smile, in Rebecca's eyes, it seemed as if the person standing in front of her was a BT murderer.
But Rebecca still chose the captain's group because she really didn't want to be in the wizard's group. Every time she approached the wizard, she always felt that the wizard had a vaguely terrifying aura aimed at her... It seemed to be because of the spiritual system.
The induction of ability.
And Lillian couldn't do it either. She had had some quarrels with the black short-haired woman under Lillian before.
Huh, the so-called assistant is just a dog holding the controller's thigh, and... Rebecca felt keenly that the short-haired black woman had an unusual relationship with Lillian.
This made her a little nauseous.
"Arrived at the base in five minutes, the convoy will slow down, the radar will be fully turned on, and it will enter the first level alert state!"
The driver once again relayed the command received in the headset.
The speed of the convoy has obviously slowed down.
Outside the window, the visibility was getting lower and lower, and it was a blur in the wind and snow.
The front windshield had the widest view, and along the way Chen Nuo could only see the external cargo compartment of the vehicle in front.
But now that they were about to arrive at the base, the convoy changed its formation, from a straight line to a cone shape.
Soon, in the sight ahead, an outline appeared on the horizon. Chen Nuo identified it and determined that it was a low modular base building.
After visual inspection, the base seemed quiet and motionless.
But in an instant, several rays of mental power covered the area. Chen Nuo felt the spreading fluctuations of the mental power tentacles, and then judged that the wizard had acted first, and used mental power to search towards the base to cover it.
The wizard's mental power was indeed powerful. A wave of mental power covered it, and soon hundreds of tentacles formed and stretched into the base.
The convoy stopped at the outer perimeter of the base. In fact, this kind of base does not have any walls or fences.
However, based on the visual inspection of the terrain, the location of this base seems to be quite clever.
The two slightly higher ice and snow slopes are only about ten meters in vertical height, but the base is very large and seems to stretch hundreds of meters in length and width.
The base is located in a natural canyon formed between two slopes. Of course, this so-called canyon is not accurate because the drop is not very large and the area is wider.
However, the base was built along the eastern slope, which means it is backed by a hillside. From a defensive perspective, it saves a little half of the effort.
On both sides, you can see short bunkers built in the snow, similar to checkpoints. But there are no weapons... After all, in this damn weather, if you really have a checkpoint, an open machine gun muzzle or something, the cold wind will be enough
It's freezing to death.
Therefore, this kind of checkpoint can probably only play a role of lookout and early warning. Of course, the bigger role is just early warning and lookout.
The motorcade stopped.
Soon, the green light in the car turned on. Everyone knew that this was the notice to get out of the car that was explained during training and getting familiar with the equipment.
Everyone in the car put on their cold-proof clothing, and then checked everyone's communication equipment.
There are also guns, but no one uses the ability and refuses to carry a gun.
Just kidding, the ability users here are all at least destroyers or close to the level of destroyers, and there are also three bosses who are controllers.
Firearms? Those are things that ordinary people use.
Chen Nuo was probably the only exception. He put a holster on his thigh and inserted a pistol into it. He then covered it with a windbreaker of a cold-proof suit.
With thick protective goggles and a hat, everyone looked bloated when they jumped out of the car.
However, you can still see the difference.
The octopus monster has made precise distinctions in order to quickly identify its companions in the snow.
The cold-weather equipment of armed personnel is black.
The cold-weather clothes of ability users are red.
The technician's cold-weather clothing is yellow.
The people gathered together, and Nolan immediately entered the state of a commander. Without any nonsense, he directly gave the order: "According to the plan before the operation, enter!"
The captain said nothing, Chen Nuo nodded and said nothing.
Two octopus technicians quickly moved closer to Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo turned around and looked at Kamizou Ichiro and Rebecca: "You two, one each, are responsible for their safety!"
Four ability users, plus two octopus monster technical staff, are the configuration of each ability user team.
No one talks nonsense... First of all, this is a plan that was made before, and secondly, the window time is only one and a half hours, and every minute is precious.
It already took twenty minutes on the way here.
The diameter of the red circle is indeed only five kilometers, and the radius is only two and a half kilometers, but that is the diameter, the straight-line distance!
It is impossible to take a branch route when walking on the ice sheet. You also have to take into account the changes in terrain, hillsides, snow slopes, pits, valleys, ice cracks, etc. It is equivalent to winding all the way, which is why it takes so much time.
If you deduct another 20 minutes for the return journey, the remaining time to check the base is only a little over an hour.
Very precious.
Three groups of ability users, each carrying two octopus monster personnel, entered the base and went straight to three different areas for inspection.
Nolan took armed personnel and two technicians to the main tent headquarters of the base.
All the drivers and four armed personnel were left behind in the convoy. Vanel was also left behind in the convoy. His task was not easy either. He had to be responsible for all radar alerts, and to contact and inform people entering the base at any time.
Latest news.
Not to mention the two groups outside, the captain's group entered directly from the front of the base.
They headed straight for a module warehouse located in the southeast of the base.
There is the material storage warehouse of the base, as well as the living rooms connecting the staff of the two bases.
The ground is very dry and hard, and even in extreme cold conditions it freezes solidly, so non-slip boots are very heavy.
The four ability users didn't think so, but it was obviously a bit difficult for the two technicians to run.
