Where can Little Dog Chen find an octopus the size of a playground?
It's okay to fool others, but if you fool the octopus monster... No matter in the previous life or in this life, Chen Nuo felt that no one in the underground world would dare to do this kind of operation.
And the octopus monster is not a fool. He will not let people go just because of Chen Nuo's words.
At the agreed time, the octopus monster gave Chen Nuo five days.
After five days, if he can really hand over an octopus as big as a playground, then the octopus monster will let him go.
Where can I find such a big octopus in five days?
Others didn't know, but Chen Nuo knew where such a big octopus could be found.
In a previous life, Antarctica!
·
After unlocking the memory blockade in my consciousness, I got a memory fragment about my trip to Antarctica in my previous life, in which such a big octopus once appeared.
On the sea, a big octopus appeared. To be precise, the octopus and West Germany appeared at the same time.
Then, after West Germany killed the octopus with his own hands, he briefly fought with Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi.
Lu Xixi was defeated and knocked into the sea, while Chen Nuo reaped what West Germany said to himself: You are the chosen one.
Of course, the next incident that happened was that I went into the sea to fish for deer, touched someone's butt, and then...
Yeah, but in the memory fragments, there is indeed such a giant octopus in the Antarctic waters.
Moreover, Chen Nuo suddenly chose to do this and contact the octopus monster directly. In fact, it was equivalent to making a huge change in his original intention of simply rescuing Xicheng Xun!
The deaths of the three elders and the turmoil within the octopus monster made him realize that the timeline had greatly deviated from his previous life.
No matter how you think about it, it feels very strange.
If I were to say that the only variable causing the deviation of the timeline was me, there was only one person in the world.
But what I did after returning to this timeline was to carefully avoid the octopus monster's organization.
Chen Nuo also carefully recalled all his experiences and actions in the past two years. When did he wave his wings and cause a storm, causing the internal chaos of the giant octopus monster?
His decision to contact the octopus monster directly was not reckless.
Although it is a bit risky, the reasons are very good.
First of all, I got the news from Gray Cat: Contestants = many seeds compete together for the final winner.
So, among the seeds currently known on earth, West Germany is the most specific.
Then, there is the one who ran away from the Antarctic base...that is, the one who deceived old Colo and ran to the outside world, a seed.
These two are the obvious ones.
By the way, we can’t forget the gray cat seed even though it looks like trash.
Oh, by the way, and also, from the incident of General Electric chasing Lu Xixi, combined with the news told by the gray cat, the gray cat told a seed that made him fearful, powerful and cruel.
Total, now known seeds: three.
So are there any seeds that are still holding hidden cards?
Chen Nuo felt that there must be.
Things have developed to this day. If the octopus monster's wave of SS was not a seed, Chen Nuo would not believe it for the first time.
Then, an interesting thing comes next:
A seed corresponds to a selected person.
He is West Germany's chosen one.
Lu Xixi is the chosen one for a very cruel seed from the gray cat's mouth.
Who was the chosen one of the seed that deceived Kolo in Antarctica?
as well as……
If the octopus monster is a seed...who is the chosen one of the octopus monster?!
This is the first question.
The second question was what Chen Nuo found more interesting.
That is: each of these seeds seems to like hiding behind their backs.
This is true for West Germany, this is true for the octopus monster, and this is true for the seed that selected Deer Xixian. As for the seed that deceived old Colo in Antarctica, it is the one Chen Nuo knows the least about now.
Maybe they are afraid of each other, or maybe it's because of some special reasons.
According to Gray Cat: These seeds are the most direct competitors among them!
But each and every one of them lived in seclusion, hiding themselves from the public and watching all this behind the scenes.
Why?
as well as……
Why?

Pure wooden buildings are actually very common in cold areas.
Because there are few metal veins in the cold zone, even if there are, mining is not easy due to the cold climate and hard geology. Metal building materials need to be transported from outside, which is relatively expensive.
It is also because wood is much slower in heat transfer and dissipation than metal.
There is also a layer of thermal insulation protection layer of composite material on the thick solid wood wall, which together with the heating equipment in the house, makes the whole wooden house very hot.
This is a bar.
Located on King George Island not far from the Antarctic continent.
The business is very good, and after many years of operation, it has become a favorite gathering place for extreme outdoor sports enthusiasts from all over the world who come to Antarctica for adventure.
I heard that the boss is a well-known adventure enthusiast in the circle, and he is also the kind of person who is not short of money.
After I retired, I opened a bar here to entertain lovers from all over the world who came to Antarctica for adventure.
Being an insider and well-informed, many adventurers can also register and purchase some necessary equipment here, and the bar can also act as an intermediary to help people find some guides they need during the adventure.
Of course, the most important thing is that in Antarctica, where transportation costs are high, anything that satisfies appetites is a luxury here.
And here, being able to provide drinks is the greatest enjoyment.
It's just that it's a little more expensive.
A regular bottle of Budweiser costs fifteen dollars here.
Taking into account the expensive transportation fees, this price is basically accepted.
On the 30th hour after calling the octopus monster, Chen Nuo walked into this bar.
This is open 24 hours a day.
When Chen Nuo walked in, it was eleven o'clock local time.
The bar is still filled with more than 90% of the guests. Of course, the original area is not very large.
After changing his appearance into a middle-aged man with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes who looked about forty years old, Chen Nuo walked into the bar door wrapped in thick cold-proof clothing and felt the oncoming warmth.
, casually took off his coat and hung it on the wall, then walked to the bar.
"beer."
Chen Nuo put a dollar bill on the table.
The bartender standing at the bar glanced at him, took the banknotes, and placed seven bottles of beer on the table.
"Shouldn't you give me six beers and give me ten dollars?"
"Seeing as you're new here, the seventh bottle is on sale." The bartender smiled.
Chen Nuo also smiled: "How do you know..."
"I know everyone here, they are all here." The bartender pointed to his head.
Watching Chen Nuo unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip of wine, the bartender walked away with a smile.
The bar is very noisy and there are few entertainment venues at night.
Anyone who likes this kind of adventurous sports is the kind of person who likes excitement and restlessness in life.
Otherwise, who would be so full that they would come to a place like this to have adventures?
They all have a restless heart.
There were five or six people gathered around a pool table inside, and there were people beating hard on the jukebox in the corner. They probably drank too much. After being yelled at twice by the bartender with a straight face, the drunkard turned around and smiled.
He waved his hand and left obediently.
There were two people at the bar who looked like they were in the adventure industry. They were drinking and talking about some business. Chen Nuo heard what the other party was talking about, including equipment, supplies, etc...
After patiently waiting for Chen Nuo to finish a bottle of beer, the bartender came over again, stood at the bar and looked at Chen Nuo with a smile.
"Is there anything else I can help you with? Is this your first time in Antarctica?"
"Well, not really."
"Anyway, I've never met you. I've basically met all the folk adventure enthusiasts who like to come to Antarctica for adventure. Except for the official scientific expedition teams who don't come to my place very often, the others basically like to go there before departure and after returning.
Let’s have a few drinks here to blow off any excess energy.”
The bartender chatted casually, then smiled and said: "If you need anything, you can tell me."
"Well, thank you."
"I'm talking about...not just drinks."
Chen Nuo also laughed: "What about? Can you still find women here?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "Except for the adventurous guys here, let alone women, there is not even a female penguin in sight."
"If you want to see penguins, you can go to St. Andrews." The bartender casually mentioned a place, and then continued: "But I think you are not interested in those little things.
As for women...well, you have a pretty face and a strong figure.
The journey is lonely. I think as long as you have a sweeter mouth, there should be a female adventurer who would be willing to have a friendly competition with you on the journey. There are not many female guests tonight, but you can go and take a look at the table at the end.
A few individual tourists have just returned from the South Pole and are celebrating the end of their adventure. They have been drinking all night. The two girls there are pretty good, especially the red-haired one. You can go and try to hook up."
As he said that, the bartender winked.
Chen Nuo shook his head: "I'm not interested in women."
"Uh... if you're a man..."
Chen Nuo's face suddenly stiffened: "No, I mean, I'm not here to find a woman tonight. Also, I'm not GAY."
Well, it’s different from what many people think.
Maybe you are definitely in the adventure circle, outdoor, extreme, dangerous, full of adventure and male hormones...
But, in fact... in the adventure circle, the GAY group is much more numerous than imagined.
The same goes for the Polar Adventure Circle.
Chen Nuo had seen the news in his previous life: a certain country's Antarctic scientific expedition team consumed thousands of condoms a year because their life in the polar regions was too boring and lonely.
The key information is: the scientific expedition team is all male.
So he was not surprised at all by this bar.
"I may need something else, can you arrange it here?"
"I can contact you here for equipment, supplies, and excellent guides. However, if it is large equipment, you may need to make an appointment and wait for some time." The bartender quickly smiled and said: "What do you need? As for the guide... you
Look at the innermost table I just told you about.
Didn't I just say that they are an adventure team that has just returned from the Pole? Did you see the bearded man in the gray sweater?
His name is Charles, and the one next to him is his deputy Eckert. They are one of the best guides I know.
Excellent professionalism, reasonable fees, and very good service attitude.”
The bar feels that his judgment should be correct.
The unfamiliar face in front of me is definitely not a member of the official scientific expedition team.
He should be a folk free adventurer.
Then the business introduced by this introduction should be successful. Besides, the node of this introduction is very good.
The target you introduce has just completed a successful adventure and is celebrating. What resume can impress your customers more than a successful case in front of them?
No matter how many experiences you talk about, such as "How many times have people successfully taken risks?", nothing can compare to a celebration party where guests can see with their own eyes that people are taking a successful risk.
Many people in this world believe that success will last.
Seeing that the success rate of this business should be high, the bartender thought that his introduction fee would be gone.
However, Chen Nuo just took a sip of beer, not sure whether it was okay or not.
Well, the bar didn't look impatient either.
His many years of career have allowed him to meet a variety of clients.
Especially Asian customers. These Asians are more rational and less impulsive. They like to shop around and are better at negotiating prices and details.
Chen Nuo's eyes continued to look at this small bar. Suddenly, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and said gently: "Over there..."
He was pointing to a small table in the southwest corner of the bar.
There was only one guest seated.
It was a woman, with a gray sweater covering her hot figure, short hair, and slightly curly hair.
Although he was lying there and seemed a little drunk, the half of his face that was exposed was just enough for Chen Nuo to recognize.
The bartender smiled when he saw the direction Chen Nuo was pointing, and immediately showed an "understanding" expression, but shook his head and said: "Hey man, I understand what you mean.
That's Linda. Young, beautiful, with that figure...even an old man can't help but go crazy.
But I advise you not to look for trouble."
"What's the meaning?"
"She has a bad temper that can't be offended. And... she's very skilled.
Don’t you find it strange? There are so many men here, but none of them went to talk to her. She is so attractive, isn’t it? "
As he spoke, the bartender lowered his voice: "Because anyone who dares to harass her will have their arms broken by her."
Chen Nuo remained calm, took out a banknote from his pocket and put it on the table: "Tell me about her."
The bartender took a look at the ten-dollar bill on the table, and was not surprised at all that a strange bartender was attracted to this woman named Linda, asking him for information and earning such tips. It seemed to be commonplace for him.
"I don't know much, she doesn't like to communicate with others.
All I know is that she seems to be from country M and is very rich.
I have been here for more than half a year and have been to the polar regions three times.
The Charles I just pointed out to you and his assistant Eckert once provided guide services to her.
But that operation failed. I heard from Charles that the woman was a lunatic. She did not obey the guide's instructions during the adventurous journey and liked to get into trouble. However, for the sake of money, Charles took her to the Pole twice.
.
It’s just that he refused to go even after being beaten to death for the third time.
Later, this woman found another old friend of mine as a guide and went a third time.
After that time, even my old friend no longer wanted to make money from her.
I actually don't understand. I heard that this woman went to the Pole not for adventure, but to find someone. Maybe her relatives or friends disappeared during the adventure before, and she came to find someone.
Someone is betting that the missing person must be her husband or lover.
Chen Nuo's eyes immediately darkened.
"OK, thanks."
Chen Nuo immediately stood up and walked over slowly.
"I advise you not to ask for trouble." The bartender reminded him from behind, then sighed helplessly and said to himself, "Another one looking for death..."
At the wine table, Chen Nuocai walked to a place three steps away from the other party. The woman lying on the table had already said coldly without raising her head: "Go away."
Chen Nuo didn't say anything, but slowly walked over and sat opposite the woman.
The woman raised her head and squinted her eyes, her eyes were full of drunkenness, but she was obviously not really drunk, but more of the coldness and hostility that would repel people thousands of miles away: "I said, get out of here.
!”
Chen Nuo took a deep breath: "Selena...it's me."
He spoke Chinese.
The woman was stunned.
"South America, tropical rainforest.
Huaxia, Jinling.”
Chen Nuo mentioned a few key words.
Selina's eyes immediately widened, and she looked Chen Nuo up and down carefully.
"Are you...Chen?"
"Um."
Chen Nuo nodded.
Selina's eyes suddenly revealed a strange light.
After all...the last time Selina saw Chen Nuo, it was in the underground glacier on the Antarctic continent.
This guy is still frozen and sealed in a glacier!
"You... came out?" Selina blurted out.
Huh? This is a bit interesting.
Chen Nuo heard something different, but he didn't think about it carefully, but said slowly: "Why are you here?"
"Nonsense, of course it's for Vanel!
What about you? Did you just get out of trouble? Or...are you back to look for Vanel?"
Chen Nuo captured the key information.
Selena said she was "out of trouble".
And, looking for Varnell?
"Davarish, him?"
"He is missing! He has been missing for more than a year!"
Chen Nuo: "..."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nuo looked around, and then said slowly: "This is not the place to talk. Do you... have a residence here?"
"have."
"Walk."
Selina looked around, nodded slowly, and then stood up.
Chen Nuo followed Selina towards the door of the bar.
The bartender behind the bar stared at Chen Nuo and Selina leaving together, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
