After Gu Jun got new clues, the Tianji Bureau immediately cooperated with the Ross National Security Agency to investigate the Inuit.
However, the Inuit are a race composed of many tribes and are widely distributed in the Arctic Circle. Different tribes have different customs and legends. At that time, that group of immigrants came from a small tribe in Chukchi. Others didn’t know much about their beliefs. They only knew that they worshiped a certain ancient god, but it was just a primitive and ignorant idea. There was no such thing at that time. People take it seriously, and there is a lack of records due to the closure of the tribe.
Some of the Inuit of this tribe were forced to immigrate to Wrangel Island, some died, and some could not be found at sea.
Therefore, regarding their pagan worship, the Tianji Bureau could not find any information for a while.
And Gu Jun and others found nothing else in Uhakovskoye Village, except that the photo told the strangeness of the past, which seemed to be just a group of ordinary Inuit people. But Gu Jun believed that the ceremony really existed, and the death of Vasily Petronov may be one of the results of the ceremony.
Only by reaching the sea cliff where the ceremony was held can one approach the truth.
After determining the target, the Arctic Wolf team immediately prepared for action.
Different from the southern plain where the base is located, the sea cliff is located at the eastern end of the central mountain range, and the terrain is quite complicated. This kind of wind and snow weather is not suitable for helicopter flying, and similar crashes are not unheard of. We had to drive through the plains of nearly 40 kilometers first, and then climbed up at the foot of the mountain. The altitude is 635 meters, which is not high but it will not be easy, because the road up the mountain has long been blocked by ice and snow.
The conditions are harsh, but the plague in Dongzhou is still spreading. Separate management of patients is a huge test of manpower. They must hurry up.
On the morning of the second day after the five of Gu Jun arrived on the island, the weather was still in line with expectations, and the joint forces of the two countries set off according to the original plan.
"That polar bear led us to this place." Gu Jun told everyone at the beginning of the plan, "I feel that this trip will not go well."
They still don't know what that polar bear is. They couldn't track it yesterday, and the satellites didn't take pictures of it.
But everyone saw it at the time, and now everyone can only explain that it was a collective hallucination...
But that sea cliff could be a trap, so be prepared.
The wind was whistling with snow, and in the vast snow field under the extreme night, a convoy of snow armored vehicles was moving forward. This was the joint force composed of 30 people from the Ross Kingdom, 30 people from the Arctic Wolf Squad, and five people from Gu Jun. At this time, they had traveled 16 kilometers, and everyone saw that they were surrounded by ice and snow under the darkness.
If it was in summer, it would be a tundra, and there are many plants that are not found in other parts of the world, but now they are all covered by ice and snow.
Originally, in order to avoid mental stress and the Ganzfeld effect, the team members should not look out the window, and let the driver move forward with the radar.
However, Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu rely on super senses, and mental pressure is sometimes the source of super senses.
So Gu Jun kept looking out of the window in the car, sometimes wearing night vision goggles, sometimes with naked eyes, to feel if it was in this direction. And his spirit fluctuated more and more with the successive pieces of ice and snow...
Just so suddenly, in the blink of an eye back and forth, he saw some huge mountains appearing in front of him.
The highest mountain on this deserted island is located in the center of the island, and it is only 1096 meters above sea level, but the mountain range goes straight into the sky, which looks higher than Mount Everest.
"Have you seen the giant mountain in front?" Gu Jun immediately asked everyone with the communicator, "It appeared suddenly."
"No, Jushan? Everything is as usual." Xue Ba, Yu Xiaoyong and the others could only reply with doubts, and even Wu Shiyu didn't see it.
Any hallucinations that Gu Jun had now were not simple, Yu Xiaoyong immediately reported the situation to the command center.
"The satellite image has not changed." The command center responded quickly, and the island base, the headquarters of the Tianji Bureau, and Dongzhou were all connected to the communication.
Hallucination? Gu Jun frowned as he looked at the huge mountain range that hadn't disappeared...although it was hazy, it was still there, exuding grandeur and strangeness...
"This island is producing a lot of hallucinations." He can only be sure of this, but he wonders if there is some overlap between this place and the dream world
When the convoy advanced to more than 30 kilometers, the wind and snow began to get bigger, the sound was rumbling, and the communication signal became unstable. But this is not the worst weather on the island. In February and March, the speed of the snowstorm can be as high as 140 kilometers per hour, and even the car and people will be overturned.
At this time, the convoy could at least finish the journey smoothly and reach the snowy field at the foot of the mountain where the sea cliff is scheduled to be.
When they got here, the convoy stopped, and more than half of the joint forces got out of the armored vehicles with all kinds of equipment and firearms, and braved the wind and snow to form a team to climb the mountain.
"Here, come with us." Mstislav personally led the Russian team. The Ross people didn't know the meaning of the trip. The reason why Mstislav led the expedition in person obviously had a different mission. It is to find out the real purpose of the Astronomy Bureau.
The Ross people walked in front and behind, and more than 20 people including Gu Jun, Xue Ba, and Yu Xiaoyong walked in the middle.
Due to the blockage of ice and snow, everyone could only walk with difficulty. Covered by the mountain in front of him, Gu Jun couldn't see the huge mountain range at this moment. It's just that halfway through the boarding, he saw it, this time Yu Xiaoyong and the others also saw it, and Mstislav and other Russians also saw it.
In the dark sky on the side of the mountain, there are all kinds of northern birds circling and flying, eagles, gulls, fulmars...they are densely clustered, flying around without making a sound.
But the birds on the island have already left here for the winter...
"Command center, we saw a large number of birds." Yu Xiaoyong reported again immediately, and Mstislav also hurriedly reported in Russian.
"The satellite has not found any birds in your location, not found."
At this moment, Xue Ba, Lou Xiaoning, Zhang Xiaoqi and the others all sank in their hearts. Was it another group hallucination? It was always in front of their eyes like this.
"The number of birds has increased, and they seem to be... watching us." Yu Xiaoyong said again.
But what they got was a surprised and worried response from the staff of the command center: "The satellite didn't take pictures, and there were no people or animals on the top of the mountain."
Gu Jun couldn't tell what those bird shadows were, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense...
The situation in Dongzhou did not allow them to turn their heads back. Every member of the team was selected through the mental state project, and this illusion could not knock them down. At that moment, everyone continued to climb up with a calm heart and determination. It's just that the wind and snow hit the face, and the skin was very stinging.
It is also very fast to climb hundreds of meters above sea level, but the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more they heard a strange sound coming down.
It was not the cry of birds, it seemed to be the frantic cry of human beings.
Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu looked at each other, and they could recognize that it was the cry of the Inuit people during the festival.
