After saying this, Spades closed the door, and when Bai Liu opened again, he had disappeared in the vast snow.
… This probably means to play fair with him
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows, closed the door, squeezed his fingertips that were so cold that he felt numb, gathered his jacket, and turned around to see Tang Er beating them.
Tang Erda also put on a thick assault suit, and exhaled a burst of white gas when he opened his mouth: "—The power supply in the house is turned off. We need to overhaul and turn on the insulation system, otherwise we will all freeze to death."
"Do you know how to repair it?" Bai Liu asked.
Tang Er nodded: "I have trained in a similar extreme environment, and the basic equipment can be used, but I have to go outside for inspections. The wind speed here is too high. Someone needs to hold my safety rope, otherwise I will be caught by the wind. Blow it away."
"I'll follow you." Mu Sicheng simply put on his protective clothing.
The two moved quickly to fasten the safety rope around their waists, opened the door, and after moving a few times in the wind and snow that was so raging that the door could not be closed, they went out.
Not long after, Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda returned with the safety rope, and Bai Liu who was guarding the door immediately closed the door.
For a short while, the snow blowing in from the crack in the door that opened the door has condensed into ice and stuck behind the door. Mu Sicheng's teeth trembled and tried to remove the safety rope from the hook next to the door, because his hands were too cold. I didn't take it down a few times, but Mu Ke helped to take it later.
"Too... Nima is too cold!" Mu Sicheng jumped with cold feet, panting for his hands, trying to warm himself up.
Bai Liu noticed that Mu Sicheng simply went outside, and it took less than ten minutes to go back and forth. His hands were already blue and red and purple, and his knuckles couldn't be bent. It looked like a piece of gangrene. flesh.
When the light bulbs were turned on in sequence because the power supply was restored, Bai Liu could really see where they were.
In front of you is a very narrow, long and low ventilation duct. The wall is a solid container shed. This is a material generally used for temporary housing on construction sites. Bright incandescent light bulbs are hung on the top of the wall on both sides of the wall. Seals are embedded around the windows, and through the half-frozen windows, you can see the blizzard that keeps roaring outside the house.
The line of sight fell to the end of the ventilation duct, where a sign crookedly nailed, which read: [EdmundSouthPoleStation (Edmund South Pole Station)].
Bai Liu looked at the sign for a few seconds. He lowered his head and opened his system panel. There was a notice he hadn't checked yet.
[System Tip: Players are welcome to enter the game "Ice Age"]
[System Tip: Players get the main task of the game-global warming]
[Game background reminder: A year ago, a sudden and never-ending heavy snow swept the world from Antarctica. With the drop in temperature, the turning of ocean currents, and the thickening of clouds and other meteorological problems, various places began to be frozen...]
[... The Antarctic ice sheet seems to have become a diffuse disease and began to spread throughout the world. Meteorologists said that due to some force majeure, we were forced to enter another great ice age since the fourth ice age. Unsuspecting humans died in large numbers due to food shortages and cold weather...】
[Subsequently, all scientific research activities in Antarctica were forced to stop, and you, an explorer who got inside information, someone told you that all of this was related to an unseen scientific research activity in Antarctica, and you, who are keen on exploring, convened. After getting funding from the Antarctic United Glacier Company with my own team, they came to Antarctica, wanting to explore the cold secrets under these layers of ice. 】
【You took a plane to the South Pole, but you lost your way in the snowstorm. In an emergency, you found this abandoned observation station on the snow and broke through to escape the wind and snow. 】
【—Players remember, you are a great explorer! Please be brave to explore and discover, find out the truth, and make the world warmer again! 】
[Current progress of the main task: 0%]
[The player’s current location: Edmund South Pole Observation and Research Station]
At this time, Mu Sicheng also read the game introduction, and couldn't help but complain: "What is this? Isn't the real world global warming? What the hell is entering the ice age?"
Liu Jiayi is trapped in a thick down jacket. Compared with adults like Bai Liu, children are more sensitive to temperature. As soon as she enters the game, she finds all kinds of clothes for herself and wraps herself up like a ball.
After reading the game introduction, she twisted her eyebrows and reminded: "Bai Liu, the game pool simulates a league. In the game pool, our store transaction system is closed. We cannot buy any items from the store. If this is the background, food And warm clothing is our top priority."
"Otherwise, if we can't stay for a few days, we won't be able to stand it and we will quit the game."
Bai Liu very much agreed with Liu Jiayi's statement. He nodded and issued an order: "Muke went to search the warehouse for food storage, Tang Erda and Mu Sicheng went to overhaul the building, and then acted as the basis for our exploration. Jiayi and I Go to the control room to find if there is a black box or diary that records what happened here a year ago."
"OK/OK/I got it!"
After they took their orders, they dispersed. Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi searched for the control room of the base—fortunately, the base was not particularly large, and they soon found it.
It is a pity that the door of the control room is open, and it is full of snow, which is slowly melting under the blowing of the heating system.
Looking at the console covered with frost and snow, Liu Jiayi rubbed her hands and sighed with a veteran sigh: "It looks like the black box has to wait for Tang Er to hit them over to see if it can be overhauled."
Bai Liu squatted down. He took a chisel while wearing gloves and began to tap the cracks in the drawer. These areas were also sealed by solidified ice. To open the drawer, he had to clear the ice first.
Fortunately, the ice in these areas was not too thick, and Bailiu didn't cut it twice before it fell off.
Bai Liu opened the stumbling and stumbling drawer. There was no accumulated dust in the drawer, but it was covered with a layer of frozen snow. After brushing it away, you could see some black leather notebooks stored here.
According to Bai Liu's common sense, in horror games, this kind of book is generally used for plotting, that is, there must be records such as diaries in it.
But the moment he opened it, he froze.
Liu Jiayi, who was rummaging through other drawers, saw Bai Liu holding a notebook still, and curiously probed it over: "This notebook is predictable at first glance, why don't you speak..."
The moment Liu Jiayi saw the contents of Bai Liu's book, she also paused subtly.
The book is neat and tidy, extremely fluent, and all printed in English.
As a social animal born in society, Bai Liu will encounter a lot of English reading when doing horror games, but it is relatively simple, and looking at this kind of English that is large, dense, and mixed with a lot of professional vocabulary Research Diary...
Bai Liutan closed the notebook frankly: "Let's show it to Mu Ke, I don't understand it."
I also can’t understand Liu Jiayi: "..."
Although intellectually knowing that Bai Liu can’t understand is a normal thing, after all, intelligence and language ability are not the same thing, but why does she find it so strange...
Edmund Observatory is not large, there are four floors in total.
The first floor is a storage area. Fuel, food, fresh water and out-going clothes are stored in different warehouses on this floor, wrapped in layers of plastic cloth. The two helicopter garages are exposed outdoors, and they are simply sheltered by a shed.
The second floor is the living area, which has a sauna, dining room, office area, and a few computers that have been put on for a long time.
The third and fourth floors are dormitories, or cabins, very narrow. Two bunk and bunk beds are forcibly packed into the space less than five square meters, and there is a shivering warmth in the crowd.
From the perspective of the dormitory and residence, the capacity of the entire base should be about 80 to 100 people. It should be crowded at ordinary times, but now it is empty and there is a strange sense of excitement.
Liu Jiayi looked at the noodles pulled up from the solidification table, half of the moldy potatoes were cut on the chopping board, and the gas switch that hit the fire was swept over.
"People here should be walking in a hurry." She made a final conclusion.
Bai Liu walked down from the corner of the third floor and slightly corrected Liu Jiayi's theory: "—or in a hurry."
Liu Jiayi raised her head and looked over.
Bai Liu shook a pair of panties and socks in his hand: "I found it by the bed in the dormitory. In such a cold weather, I don't think anyone would rush outside without wearing panties and socks."
Liu Jiayi asked: "Is it possible for these people to be frightened by something and run away without wearing clothes?"
"Impossible." After inspecting the warehouse, Mu Ke came up from the corner stairs on the first floor. He looked at Liu Jiayi, "I just went to see their exhibition hall. The staff at Edmund Observation Station are all professional mountaineers. The team members, as well as the well-trained scientific research team members, have won a lot of honors, and they have also been tested in various extreme scenarios. It is difficult to scare them all into this under normal circumstances."
Mu Ke glanced at the food that was only half moved.
"They should be very clear that here, nothing is taken out and it is no different from sending to death."
Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda came down from the rooftop on the fourth floor. The two of them had just gone to repair the radio stand.
Mu Sicheng was so cold that his cheeks turned blue. After coming down, he randomly found a dormitory and retreated under the blanket and began to kick and tremble frantically.
Tang Er watched the situation better, but when he took his gloves, Bai Liu saw that a piece of blood was stuck on the palm of his hand, and the bloody wound was exposed in the air, but no blood came down.
Because it was too cold, the blood had clotted.
Tang Erda noticed Bai Liu's gaze and explained: "The erection platform is too cold, and there is no way to adjust the equipment tightly through the gloves, so I took the gloves and touched—"
"—Then a piece of skin was glued to the metal above?" Bai Liu took the second half of the sentence.
Liu Jiayi took out the antidote spray and sprayed it on the palm of Tang Er's beater. The wound slowly healed, but Mu Sicheng, who was so cold on the bed, couldn't get better.
The antidote can heal the wound, but there is no way to heal the cold.
"I saw the weather temperature meter outside." Tang Er shook his recovered hand, he solemnly raised his eyes and looked at Bai Liu, "—the low temperature of more than minus fifty degrees, this kind of extreme weather can't stay for long, we I’ll freeze to death soon, so I have to quit quickly—"Game...
At this time, Mu Ke, who was watching the black-skinned book Bai Liu handed him, turned blue and white, and he interrupted Tang Erda with a trembling sound: "—This Edmund Observatory is studying the corpse sent by the Heresy Processing Bureau. ."
Tang Er beat his heart and denied it without hesitation: "Impossible, the heretical administration is regulated by the convention, and it is not provided to any country for economic, military, cultural, or political scientific research. It is the only scientific research of the heretical administration. The purpose can only be containment!"
"People from the three districts are here to respond, and there are five escorts from the first district. It is impossible for them to let others study the things of the heretical administration!"
Mu Ke exhaled a long breath, the water vapor in front of his eyes turned into a layer of snow and frost that couldn't see his expression, his voice was very soft:
"What if I told you that the plane carrying the dead body heresy crashed on the spot when it reached the Antarctic, and the five escorts on the plane died suddenly?"
