Chapter 251

When Bai Liu came back, he handed the experiment diary to Mu Ke.

The joint experiment data report, the observation station search, a series of text materials, and the basic teaching materials that Mu Ke searched from the first graduate student’s dormitory of the observation station, all of which require him to understand and read. Ability to read other materials.

Bai Liu asked: "How long will it take you to finish reading?"

Looking at the thick stack of books and all kinds of professional materials in front of him, it would be equivalent to asking Mu Ke to re-learn and specialize in a subject. He reckoned and answered earnestly: "It will take about three or four days."

Bai Liu nodded understandingly: "How much food is left in this observation station?"

Mu Kehui: "Remove expired and spoiled, there are still about 70 kilograms of food. According to the food consumption of about 1 kilogram per person per day, it can last for about 15 days."

"Then we can't wait until you finish translating." Bai Liu thought for a moment, and then decided, "It's impossible to take a snowmobile, the speed is too slow, Taishan Station is a thousand miles away from here. The average speed of the snowmobile is only 30 to 40 kilometers, and it takes less than 30 days to make a round trip, and the food and fuel can’t stand the consumption, so we still have to take a helicopter to go there.”

Tang Er frowned: "But if it's a helicopter flying hard, it's easy to fly in this kind of weather."

"I know." Bai Liu glanced at Tang Er lightly, "Don't forget that our game identity is set as a group of [fanatic explorers], we will not pursue a more secure way of doing things, Especially this way is more likely to consume us to death."

Tang Er beat me up and didn't talk about me any more—his way of thinking was from the perspective of an observation station officer rather than an explorer, which was indeed more realistic, but this was a game.

Games don't need to be realistic.

Bai Liu looked around: "Are there any other objections?"

No one answered.

Bai Liu ordered in an orderly manner: "Mu Sicheng dragged food and fuel onto the plane, Tang Erda overhauled helicopters and snowmobiles, Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi were going to stay at the observation station for a week. Food was stored near the cabin, and food for a week. Put it on the snowmobile, if we haven't come back within a week, you can drive to the nearest other observation station, remember to shoot guns in the car and the cabin."

Speaking of this, Bai Liu paused and reminded: "There is a monster in the basement that was killed by Captain Tang. Although it is currently in a [dead] state, there are usually many abnormalities in high-risk places like laboratories. Just in case, I put two barrels of fuel in the basement, if there is any abnormality, you can just throw it down and ignite it, get in the car and run away..."

"We will carry satellite radio on the helicopter. If you have any questions, please contact us."

Bai Liu shook the satellite phone in his hand: "But according to the usual design in the game, there is a 95% probability that we will lose contact with the phone, so all plans will be made in the future. Let’s plan separately according to the different situations before and after we lost contact..."

One after another.

Bai Liu was wearing a thick winter jacket, wrapped in a down liner, waist and knee pads, and a pair of spiked shoes that could walk and climb on the ice. He leaned against the edge of the helicopter and faced the bottom. Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke waved. , Closed the helicopter door.

Tang Er sat meditating in the driver's seat to adjust the dashboard to check the data, and the back seat was full of food packages.

It was difficult for Mu Sicheng to stretch his limbs in the middle of this pile of parcels, and he had to use a gun to give himself a space to survive.

The paddles rotated into the air, making a loud noise, Bai Liu withdrew her probing gaze, moved her stiff fingers, and exhaled frosty white air.

"Put on dark goggles." Tang Er reminded from the front seat, "to prevent snow blindness, and if any part of the body is cold and unconscious, you must cover it in time, otherwise it will be cold for a long time Thrombosis in the blood can lead to limb stiffness, and amputation cannot save the limb.”

Mu Sicheng frantically swayed coldly, his mouth and voice were trembling, and his hands rubbed against each other desperately: "No, didn't you bring Liu Jiayi's antidote? Can't this kind of frostbite be cured?"

Liu Jiayi gave each of the three of them a bottle of antidote.

"Yes, it is possible." Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng, "But if you are cold and your health drops, the antidote will not take effect - then you may have been cold and unconscious."

"..." Mu Sicheng wanted to cry, "I fucking hate Antarctica!"

The plane shuttled through the vast white snow, and had to make an emergency landing twice because of the strong wind.

Tang Erda had the foresight to replace the landing gear of the helicopter with a sled type one. In this case, the risk of taking off and landing will be lower.

But the biggest risk of helicopter takeoff and landing is not on the landing gear, or even on the wind, but on the ice—ice cracks are the biggest threat to helicopter takeoff and landing.

If the helicopter landed on an ice crevasse, it might crash and kill people, but the strange thing is that Bai Liu and the others were lucky to have no ice crevasses when they docked twice, and they successfully approached Taishan Station within half a day. nearby.

When Bai Liu was still more than ten kilometers away from Taishan Station, he requested a third landing—this time there was still no ice crevasse, and even Bai Liu went down to investigate in person and walked around casually, but he did not find any ice crevasses. .

Although Tang Erda told Bai Liu that ice crevasses on the ice are not common and you can just step into them, but there is one factor that he forgot to consider—that is, this is a game, and Bai Liu This is the player whose lucky value in the game is 0.

It is normal for the ice crevasse to be set up like this for him, so players should be able to see it everywhere.

But since Bai Liu entered the game, he has never met him once.

Bai Liu raised his head, and with the help of a telescope, he could see a distant place where there was a Mount Tai station on the snowy field with a glimmer of light on the horizon, and he could vaguely see lights from the windows of the observation station. From the inside, you can also see light smoke and heat rising slightly from the roof and chimney.

This made him squint his eyes: "There are people in Taishan Station."

"So you decided to land here?" Tang Erda turned his head to look at Bai Liu, and asked him for the next step, "Should we go in directly or?"

"Don't go in directly, look around here, especially if there is any ice crevasse in the place I walked by." Bai Liu turned his head to look at the ground, through the goggles, the snow color refracted dark light in his eyes , "—Captain Tang, if there are ice cracks in these places, is there any way to make these ice cracks disappear?"

Tang Er was taken aback: "It's just me, I can fill in snow, and then pour water on it to make the ice harden, but the workload is too much, and it takes a lot to fill a 20-meter-deep ice crack that is not wide. ‌‌, how long do you stay outside in such cold weather? It might freeze people to death, and there is also the impact of strong winds, so no one does it at all..."

"If you fill these ice crevasses with something, you won't be afraid of the cold at all?" Bai Liu asked unhurriedly. He squatted down on one foot, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the ice, "I remember we brought The sensor can detect images hundreds of kilometers below the ice surface, right?"

Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda removed the hydraulic hammer and sensors from the helicopter, and placed the sensors at the landing site of the helicopter according to the operating instructions in the manual translated by Mu Ke. A few hundred meters around.

With the slight "beep" measurement sound of the sensor, the image returned by the sensor is like a ct on the visible dial of the instrument, showing the cross-section of the ice surface layer by layer, getting more and more deep.

When the image arrived at a certain position on the cross-section, it seemed to be detecting something strange, something different from rocks and ice, and a measurement abnormality was detected, and a sharp alarm sounded , and then fed back the graphic image, Mu Sicheng gasped, and his whole body became colder.

Various scattered human silhouettes appeared on the image. They struggled under the ice in grotesque and distorted postures. Their limbs were broken and bent back, their heads and necks were crooked, and their waists and abdomen seemed to be twisted a hundred times. Eighty degrees, like a frog that was cut up for experiments, cut off the spine and turned over to nail it to death on a wooden board.

These people seem to have been subjected to some kind of terrible experiment and then use the experimental waste, were thrown into the ice crevasse, and then buried with snow-the ice crevasse is their experimental waste site and cemetery.

Even if the sensor can't send back specific and clear images of their faces, Mu Sicheng can still imagine their painful expressions.

There are a few "humanoid frogs" whose shapes are still relatively complete. They may still be alive after being thrown into the ice crevasse. From the silhouettes, it can be seen that they are still desperately climbing up. Both hands and feet are in a vigorous climbing posture.

But before he climbed up, he was frozen to death in the ice layer when he was about fifteen meters away from the ice surface.

This reminded Mu Sicheng of the ghost story that Tang Er had told him, and he couldn't help covering himself with his clothes, and leaned a little closer to Bai Liu, who had a calm expression on his side: "... Do you think this is a member of the Taishan Observation Station?"

"I can't be sure." Bai Liu's eyes stopped on the dashboard, "Maybe, maybe not."

Mu Sicheng asked: "...What do you mean?"

"The numbers don't match up." Bai Liu pointed at those strangely shaped black figures, "there are already more than one hundred figures here, which is more than the entire Taishan Station."

Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng: "And now there are still people in Taishan Station, so there are two possibilities—"

"One is that here, like the Edmond Observatory, there are some scientists who hold guns and have strong suspicions, because they think that other people are mentally abnormal and have strong attacks that are difficult to control. So I dealt with all the other people in the observation station, as well as those who came to Taishan Station for help later, and then threw them here."

Mu Sicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked nervously: "Also, is there another possibility?"

Bai Liu moved his gaze back to the dashboard: "There is another possibility, that all the people in Taishan Station are dead, and some monsters have carried out cruel exploratory experiments on them and left them in the Here, and these monsters still occupy and run Tarzan Station."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help asking: "But there are more than one hundred corpses here. Didn't you say that it is more than the total number of people at Taishan Station? What are those?"

Bai Liu replied lightly: "Of course it's these monsters themselves."

"?!" Mu Sicheng was startled, and after hesitating for two seconds, he reacted with horror, "You mean these monsters can turn into humans?!"

"It seems that we are going to face monsters this time. Not only do they have strong ability to learn and differentiate, adapt to the environment, but they also have the cunning to pretend to be used by humans to deceive and catch prey. Tendency to kill each other..."

He smiled with interest: "Wow, it sounds like an evolved version of a human being."
