Mu Sicheng was about to be frightened, he could not completely accept this kind of biochemical monster!
Tang Erda was still quite calm: "Then shall we go directly in now? Or should we call Mu Ke and report the situation first?"
"The phone failed when it landed." Bai Liu turned on the satellite phone to call Tang Er. It showed that the signal was bad and the call could not be made.
Tang Er twitched his eyebrows.
Along the way, no matter how bad the weather is, the satellite phone's signal is non-destructive and can be used to talk. How can it start as soon as I get to this Taishan station...
"This should be an important spot in the game." Bai Liu raised his chin and signaled everyone to get on the plane, "Hold the gun and we will go straight in."
Tang Erda drove the plane into the air and taxied forward. He tentatively issued a signal light to Taishan Station, indicating that someone was about to land here. Soon after, the signal light was also issued at Taishan Station, which flashed a few times, indicating that someone was here to land.
"The things in Taishan Station can have this kind of high-tech communication with us..." Mu Sicheng saw that nothing was right now, and raised his elbow suspiciously, "Should it be a human?"
"Perhaps this group of monsters is very capable of learning, and has learned this level of communication, specifically used to trick us humans into landing in the past?" Bai Liu said honestly.
Mu Sicheng rubbed the goose bumps on his arm and shut his mouth honestly-he had realized that there was no way to get what he wanted from Bai Willow's mouth.
This guy likes to scare him! !
When Tang Erda flew to the sky above Taishan Station, he looked down and saw someone waving a red flag on the ground to indicate that it could land here. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Liu. After obtaining Bai Liu's consent, he began to control the plane to descend. .
The blades of the plane stopped and rotated steadily, and the sled-like landing gear stuck in the landing groove in the snow.
In the wind and snow, Bai Liu and the others could see the general attire of the man waving the red flag from the transparent side door of the helicopter.
This man is wearing an orange penguin ski suit. He uses a pole to stabilize his body in the high-intensity wind. Most of his face is hidden under a thick woolen hat. His hands are facing the helicopter. Waving his hands in the direction, it seemed that they were very happy to see Bai Liu.
This kind of joy made Mu Sicheng shudder and shrank behind Bai Liu's shoulders: "Damn, is he a monster or a human..."
"Let's go down and take a look." Bai Liu said, pushing open the helicopter door without a pause, and turned around and jumped down.
The man behind still wanted to step forward to catch Bai Liu, but was waved away vigilantly by Tang Erda who jumped down from the other end: "I'll be here, thank you."
The man slapped his hat up, revealing a face that was flushed with cold. When he spoke, he was fluent in Mandarin. The man was so excited that he almost cried. He said, "I am a stay at the Taishan Observatory." People, you are from outside, right! This is where you landed for the first time, right?! My God! This is the first time in a year that I have seen people from the motherland other than the observatory here. You have never been [parasited]! You must be human!"
"Come in!" The man hurriedly led Bai Liu and the others into it, looking around vigilantly as he walked, aiming everywhere with a gun in his hand.
Bai Liu and Tang Er glanced at each other silently, and the group followed behind this neurotic team member and walked in.
When they came to the entrance of Taishan Station, a few members of the observation station who also wore penguin costumes stood there, standing straight with a gun at their feet, as if they were standing guard.
These "sentinels" looked at Bai Liu and the others coldly, and when they saw their faces, their expressions relaxed a little—Bai Liu and the others were obviously domestic people, but soon, these "sentinels" became vigilant again and carried their guns. Holding their heads.
The man who led them over excitedly explained to the sentinels: "This is Fang Xiaoxiao, the meteorology graduate student who just went out to pick up the plane. They came from outside the Antarctic. Can I take them in?"
These sentinels were unmoved, and said coldly: "They, including you, need to test cell viability after leaving the station before they can enter the station."
Fang Xiaoxiao smiled apologetically to Bai Liu and the others: "You may not be clear when you first arrived. Something happened here in Antarctica. We have to observe cell activity every time we go out to enter the station. This is to protect the safety of the people in the station. "
As he said, he opened his mouth as usual. The sentry put on gloves and carefully scraped a small piece of mucosa from Fang Xiaoxiao's oral mucosa with a cotton swab and put it into a small test tube.
The sentries took out three new cotton swabs and motioned to Bai Liu and the others to open their mouths.
Bai Liu calmly held onto Mu Sicheng who wanted to carry the gun, and obediently took off his hat, stepped forward and opened his mouth slightly, letting the other party scrape a piece of the mucous membrane on his left oral cavity.
Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda were also removed from the mucous membranes.
Fang Xiaoxiao said to them: "Let's send it to the test soon, if there is no problem, we can go in in ten minutes, please wait a little longer."
Bai Liu said gently, "What's wrong with this, are you so vigilant?"
Fang Xiaoxiao sighed: "I will talk about it in August a year and a half ago. I am not very clear about the specifics. At that time, it happened to be before and after the summer shift in the polar region."
"Summer shift?" Bai Liu asked.
Fang Xiaoxiao explained: "The members of the Polar Observatory basically round every year, because the weather in Antarctica is too extreme, and there are four months of polar nights in the cold winter from April to October."
"Stay in the dark for four months is very mentally harmful to people. It is easy to get mentally disturbed and suffer from T3 syndrome. Therefore, the team members who spend the winter in the Antarctic will basically leave by the following summer. At that time, the icebreaker will carry it. A new batch of team members came to hand over."
"But we've been here for three winters." Fang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "Originally, our group of observing station members should have been rotated in the summer of the previous year, but no one has come to hand it over. The food was already fast. there is none left… "
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, as if he was talking about something unspeakable, leaving the young graduate student in his throat, not knowing where to go on.
Bai Liu expressed his appreciation in a timely manner: "You are very good. You can rely on a year's worth of supplies to make it to the present."
Fang Xiaoxiao fell into a rare silence. He closed his eyes, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.
The faces of the two sentinels next to him became serious, but they seemed to pat Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder unbearably: "—all to survive."
The results of the cell inspection came out at this time, and everyone's cell viability was within the normal range.
Fang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and happily led Bai Liu and the others in: "I'll take you to the cabin here. You must have traveled a long time from the outside. Take a rest and get a good night's sleep."
Bai Liu noticed that Fang Xiaoxiao regarded them as summer players who came from outside to rotate with them, but instead of breaking this point, he pretended not to know anything, and asked, "You are trapped here, why not Proactively contact the outside world?"
"Because I can't get in touch." Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoxiao smiled more and more bitterly. "We were trapped here for a year and a half and made various attempts to seek help from the outside world, such as the Internet, such as satellite phones, but the Internet was early. It's gone. The outside receiving station seems to have a problem, and there has been no response. We waited for a year and a half, and did not wait for the outside receiving station to call us back."
"We even risked sending out biplane military aircraft and helicopters directly, but as soon as the aircraft flew out of the range of Antarctica, the radar detection was disturbed by magnetic fields, and they all crashed on the glacier."
Fang Xiaoxiao shook his head and muttered to herself in straight eyes: "If you don't come again, maybe we really can't integrate into human society anymore. Everyone will be crazy in the extreme night..."
Mu Sicheng looked at Fang Xiaoxiao with a sad expression and a trance. He couldn't help but whispered to Bai Liu's ear: "This NPC is so miserable. It looks like it should have been trapped in the Antarctic. I don't know that the world is getting cold outside. The situation, he said, the people at the receiving station from the outside world have probably been frozen to death..."
Under the circumstances of global cooling, it is difficult for people trapped in the extremely cold environment of the polar circle to perceive, because the climate here is extreme, it is difficult to survive, and it is difficult to contact the outside world, so Fang Xiaoxiao and Taishan Station It is very possible that people think that there is something wrong with the communication equipment, and they haven't thought about the direction of the ice age.
And Bai Liu is not ready to tell this NPC who looks fragile in his heart for the time being. What he said the outside world has long been like Antarctica and has become an ice and snow wasteland.
After all, the npc currently does not seem to be able to bear the news.
Bai Liu's eyes slid across Fang Xiaoxiao's open coat pocket—he saw two small bottles of medicine in it, which happened to be one of the several medicines that Mu Ke and he had said, anti-severe mania and depression. .
"One year's supplies, you have to last two and a half years, how did you do it?" Bai Liu raised this topic with interest.
"The extremely low side has solar reserves in the extreme daytime, and the daily energy saving is barely enough. As for fuel..."
Fang Xiaoxiao covered his forehead, and he exhaled uncomfortably: "I know that the Antarctic Convention stipulates that wild animals here cannot be dealt with, but during the whole year of last year, the number of krill here has grown so fast. Normally, in October last year, the coastal waters on the Ross Sea were almost dyed orange."
"The penguins, seals, whales and other polar animals here all feed on krill. Sufficient food makes these animals reproduce abnormally fast. The number has turned over in just one year, and these animals The fats are extremely rich..."
Fang Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, and a pain that violated moral principles appeared on his face: "You also know that when early humans explored the Antarctic, they hunted these penguins and Seals..."
"So you ate penguins and seals?" Mu Sicheng couldn't understand Fang Xiaoxiao's pain, but he probably understood that the Antarctic research team who engaged in research probably respected these animals.
Mu Sicheng patted Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder sympathetically: "Are you going to survive? It's normal to eat animals without food..."
When Fang Xiaoxiao heard Mu Sicheng talking about the word "food", she couldn't help feeling agitated all over her body and her face was blue and white.
"No, he didn't eat penguins and seals." Bai Liu said lightly. "In the early Antarctic expeditions, penguins and seals were not used as main ingredients because of their rich oils, but were used as firewood to burn."
Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xiaoxiao: "If I am not mistaken, you are hunting seals and penguins in large quantities, not for food, but for refining fuel for running the entire observation station, otherwise you will be frozen to death. ,Right?"
Fang Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and hummed very softly. Tears flickered in his eyes: "The grease purified from animals cannot be used directly as fuel, but after some technological transformations, it can be simply burned for power supply... "
"... But at present the observation station does not lack food or fuel." Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes burst into survival light. He took a step forward and firmly grasped Bai Liu's hand. "The material we lack the most is medicine. We are short of drugs for psychotherapy! Everyone suffers from severe T3 syndrome, cannot control their emotions and behaviors, cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, and is going crazy!"
Bai Liu looked at him unhurriedly, his tone still calm: "So your food does not come from these seals and penguins, where does that come from?"
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Liu's face without a trace of emotional ups and downs, her hands seemed to be stung by a bee, and she retracted her hands in a panic, her eyes dodged and her breathing was short of breath.
"I guess your food is frozen in the cracks in the ice outside, right?" Bai Liu said lukewarm.
"After you have conducted various experiments on these biochemical monsters that have differentiated into humans, you were planning to throw them away as waste products, but the lack of food made you determined to reuse these waste products, so you They are stored in the natural [refrigerator] outside."
Bai Liu's voice was very soft, as if to say an irrelevant conclusion: "Your food is human, right?"
Fang Xiaoxiao screamed with crimson eyes: "They are monsters, animals, not people!!"
