After Bai Liu came out, he gave the experiment diary to Mu Ke.
The joint experimental data report, a series of text materials searched by the observation station, and the basic textbooks found by Mu Ke from the cabin of a graduate student at the observation station, all require him to understand and read to understand 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 was almost equivalent to letting Mu Ke re-study and specialize in a subject. He estimated it, and gave a serious answer: "It will take three or four days."
Bai Liu nodded understandingly: "How much food is left in this observation station?"
Mu Kehui: "After removing the expired and spoiled food, there are still about 70 kilograms of food. Based on a person's daily food consumption of about one kilogram, it will last about 15 days."
"Then we can't wait for you to finish the translation and we will set off." Bai Liu thought for a moment, and decided simply. The average speed of the car is only 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, and it takes 30 days to make a round trip. The food and fuel cannot withstand the consumption, so we still have to get on the helicopter."
Tang Er frowned, "But if the helicopter is flying hard, this kind of weather can easily cause trouble."
"I know." Bai Liu faintly glanced at Tang Er. "Don't forget that our game identity is set as a group of [enthusiastic explorers]. We will not pursue a more secure way of travel, especially this way. It might consume us to death."
Tang Er had a fight and stopped talking-his approach was to think in the identity of an observatory, rather than an explorer. It was indeed more realistic, but it was a game.
The game does not need to be realistic.
Bai Liu looked around: "Any other objections?"
No one answered.
Bai Liu methodically ordered: "Mu Sicheng dragged food and fuel onto the plane, Tang Er repaired helicopters and snowmobiles, Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi were ready to wait for a week at the observation station to store food near the cabin, and a week’s food on the snow. On the ground car, if we have not returned within a week, you should drive to the nearest other observation station, and remember to put the gun 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 abnormal conditions in high-risk locations such as the laboratory, just in case. , I put two barrels of fuel in the basement. Once there is any abnormality, you just throw it down and explode and drive away..."
"We will bring a satellite phone on the helicopter, and contact us in time for feedback if there is anything."
Bai Liu shook the satellite phone in his hand: "But according to the usual design in the game, there is a 95% probability that our phone will lose contact, so all the next plans will be based on the different situations before and after we lost contact. Plan separately..."
after an hour.
Bai Liu wore a thick winter suit, wrapped in a down liner, waist and knee pads, and a pair of spikes that could walk and climb on ice. He leaned on the edge of the helicopter and waved to Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke below, closing the helicopter. Exterior doors.
Tang Er sat in the driving position to debug the data on the dashboard, and the back seat was full of food parcels.
Mu Sicheng couldn't stretch his limbs in the middle of the pile of packages. To survive, he had to use □□ to open up a small space for himself.
The blades rotated and lifted into the air, making a huge noise. Bai Liu retracted his gaze looking out, moved his cold and stiff fingers, and exhaled a frosty white breath.
"Put on dark goggles." Tang Erda reminded from the front seat, "Prevent snow blindness, and if the body is too cold to feel, you must keep warm in time, otherwise thrombus will form in the blood after a long period of cold. The limbs are dead, and they have to be amputated to be saved."
Mu Sicheng was so cold that he swayed wildly, his voice was trembling, his hands rubbing desperately against each other: "No, didn't you bring Liu Jiayi's antidote? Can't this kind of frostbite be cured?"
Liu Jiayi filled each of them with a bottle of antidote.
"It's okay, but it's okay." Bai Liu Suimu glanced at Sicheng, "but you have to be cold until your health drops for the antidote to take effect-at that time you may have been cold to a coma."
"..." Mu Sicheng wanted to cry without tears, "I fucking hate Antarctica!"
The plane shuttled through the vast white snow, and because of the wind, it had to make two forced landings.
Tang Erda had foresight to replace the helicopter's landing gear with a sled type, in this case the risk of landing and landing would be lower.
But the biggest risk of helicopter landing and landing is not on the landing gear, not even on the wind, but on the ice surface-ice cracks are the biggest threat to the helicopter landing and landing.
If the helicopter is parked on an ice crack, it is very likely that the plane will be destroyed or killed, but the strange thing is that the ice surface where Bailiu and the others docked was fortunately free of ice cracks. They successfully approached the vicinity of Taishan Station within half a day.
Bai Liu asked for a third landing when he was more than ten kilometers away from Taishan Station-this time there were still no ice cracks. Even Bai Liu went to investigate in person and walked around randomly, but no ice cracks were found.
Although Tang Erda had told Bai Liu that the ice cracks on the ice surface were not so common as to walk in and step on it, there was one factor he forgot to consider—that is, this is a game, and Bai Liu is the lucky value in this game. The player who is 0.
It is normal for the ice rifts to be seen everywhere for the players he set up like this.
But since Bai Liu entered the game until now, he has never met him once.
Bai Liu raised his head, and with the help of a telescope, he could see that there was a Taishan station on the shimmering horizon of a snowy field in the distance. He could vaguely see the light coming out of the window of the observation station. I saw light smoke and hot air rising from the chimney on the roof.
This made him squinted: "There are people in Taishan Station."
"That's why you decided to land here?" Tang Erda turned his head to look at Bai Liu, and asked his next instructions, "Go straight in or?"
"Don't go directly in, look for ice cracks in this neighborhood, especially where I walked." Bai Liu turned his head and looked at the ground. Through the goggles, the snow reflected dark light in his eyes,"— Captain Tang, if there were ice cracks in these places, is there any way to make these ice cracks disappear?"
Tang Er was stunned: "If artificially, you can fill in with snow, and then pour water on it to make the ice surface solid, but the workload is too much. It takes several hours to fill a 20-meter deep ice crack. Staying outside in cold weather for a few hours is likely to freeze to death, and there is also the effect of strong winds, so no one does this at all..."
"If you fill in these ice cracks, wouldn't you be afraid of the cold?" Bai Liu asked unhurriedly. He squatted down on one foot, stretched out his hand and tapped on the ice surface. "I remember that we brought sensors. Detect this image hundreds of kilometers under the ice surface, right?"
Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda removed the hydraulic hammer and sensor from the helicopter, followed the operation in the manual translated by Mu Ke, and placed the sensor several hundred meters around the place where the helicopter landed.
With the slight beeping sound of the sensor, the image returned by the sensor appears on the visual dial of the instrument like a CT, showing the cross-section of the ice surface layer by layer, deeper and deeper.
When the image on the cross section arrived at a certain position, it seemed that something strange was detected, something different from rocks and ice, and a sharp alarm sounded for measurement abnormalities, and then the formed image was fed back to Mu Si. Cheng took a breath, and his whole body became colder.
Various scattered silhouettes of human figures appeared on the image. They were struggling under the ice in a weirdly distorted posture, with their limbs broken and bent, their heads and necks crooked, and their waists and abdomen twisted by 180 degrees. It's like a frog that has been cut open for experimentation, cut off the spine and turned over and nailed to a wooden board.
These people are like useless experimental waste after some terrible experiment. They were thrown into the ice crevices and then buried in snow. The ice crevasses are their experimental waste grounds and cemeteries.
Even if the sensor could not return a clear and specific image of their faces, Mu Sicheng could fully imagine their painful expressions.
There are a few "human-shaped frogs" that are still relatively intact, and they are likely to be alive when they were thrown into the ice crack. From the silhouettes, it can be seen that they are still climbing desperately, with their hands and feet in a very strong climbing posture.
But before he climbed up, he was frozen to death in the ice when he was about fifteen meters away from the ice surface.
This reminded Mu Sicheng again of the ghost story that Tang Er called him. He couldn't help covering himself with his clothes, and leaned a little closer to Bai Liu, who looked calmly beside him: "... Do you think this is the Taishan Observatory." Member of the team?"
"Not sure." Bai Liu stopped his gaze on the dashboard, "may or may not."
Mu Sicheng asked: "...what do you mean?"
"The number of people is not right." Bai Liu clicked on the strange black figures. "There are already more than one hundred figures here, which is more than the number of people in the entire Taishan Station."
Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng: "But there are still people in Taishan Station, so there are two possibilities—"
"One is that here is the same as Edmund Observatory. There is a scientist who holds a firearm and is suspicious. Because he feels that other people are mentally abnormal and are aggressive and difficult to control, so the observation station The others, as well as those who came to Taishan Station later for help, were all dealt with, and then they were thrown here."
Mu Sicheng swallowed and asked nervously, "Also, is there another possibility?"
Bai Liu shifted his gaze back to the dashboard: "There is also a possibility that all the people in Taishan Station are dead. Some monsters left them here after cruel exploration and experimentation on them. The monster still occupies and runs Taishan Station."
Mu Sicheng couldn't help asking: "But there are more than one hundred corpses here. Didn't you say that there are more people than the total number of people at Taishan Station? What are the more?"
Bai Liu replied lightly: "Of course it is these monsters themselves."
"?!" Mu Sicheng was startled. After hesitating for two seconds, he reacted horribly, "You mean these monsters can become humans?!"
Bai Liu said: "It seems that the monsters we are going to face this time not only have strong learning differentiation, environmental adaptability, but also the cunning disguised as human beings for deceiving and capturing prey, and at the same time they have a certain degree of survival of the fittest and cannibalism. Tend to..."
He smiled with interest: "Wow, it sounds like an evolved version of human beings."
