They were very careful along the way, and finally nothing unusual happened. 3∴35686688 Although it was icy and snowy, the reincarnations who were wearing warm clothes and were protected by Mu Fei'er's "Wall of Heart" did not feel cold even for newcomers.
Fang Shuren was calmed by the various strange abilities of the reincarnation, and his mood became more and more relaxed. Ling Suqing, on the other hand, had a nonchalant look on her face, as if it had nothing to do with her. From a certain perspective, she was very similar to Jiejuan.
The experienced ones have experienced many horror films and have certain judgment experience. They all believe that in terms of potential, Ling Suqing is much stronger than Fang Shuren.
However, Fang Ru seemed to be thinking about something, and was always observing Ling Suqing intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was thinking about something.
Arriving at the Antarctic research base and seeing the horrific, grotesque corpse, the Reincarnators couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Fang Shuren was so frightened that he trembled all over and looked around to hide his panic.
"Meng Xiang, check again to see if there are any strange shapes hiding. Mu Feier, let the 'Wall of Heart' cover the entire base to see if there are any other creatures besides us." Fang Ru ordered immediately.
The most dangerous thing is that the reincarnationists cannot sense the aura of the monsters, so they must be careful in everything. Meng Xiang searched again, and Mu Feier also spent her mental energy to cover the entire base with the "Wall of Heart". She confirmed that there were no other creatures in the surrounding area of dozens of meters except the reincarnationists.
Of course, it is only temporary, because the "Wall of Heart" can only perceive shapes. If the monster covers its body with snow, or if the monster is entangled with other objects, Mu Feier will not be able to perceive the existence of the object, that is, the monster.
"Meng Xiang, Mu Feier, you protect me as we go into the base to search for information; Zhuo Luo, Gu Panpan, you protect our companions and guard outside; Captain, please project a 1-meter-thick steel plate and stack it on the snow outside to build a temporary resting point." Fang Ru was unceremoniously directing the main combat force and captain of the team and issuing orders.
Everyone followed the instructions silently. Fang Ru's command made sense. To search for information, Fang Ru could only be relied on, and the only people who could protect him were Meng Xiang and Mu Fei'er. As for letting Han Fan project the steel plate, it was because the monster might hide under the snow. As long as the steel plate was covered, the dangers on the ground could be eliminated one by one.
Han Fan's magic projection is now completely different from the past. In an instant, a 200-square-meter metal plate was laid on the snow. The metal was 1 meter thick and stronger than steel. Unless it was bombarded at the atomic level, any force applied to the metal plate would not be able to break it in a short time.
Han Fan specially projected a sofa and a table onto the metal plate, and a tempered glass top cover on the outer layer. This way, one can block the wind and snow while also being able to observe the situation outside, killing two birds with one stone.
Fang Ru entered the base under the protection of Meng Xiang and Mu Feier. The wind and snow outside penetrated into the base, and the surroundings were covered with white frost, making the base look even more desolate.
"This is the laboratory." Fang Ru fiddled with the chemical instruments in the laboratory. Some of the instruments were still in operation, and the room was filled with a strong smell of chemical gases.
"This is the data room." Fang Ru, Meng Xiang and Mu Fei'er searched the bungalows that made up the base and finally found the data room.
The data room was filled with various books and scientific research logs, but it was very gloomy. In the corners of the room, there were two strange-looking corpses that had been roasted into charcoal and turned into ice sculptures. The surrounding ground was covered with white frost, and black blood spots could be vaguely seen. It was obvious that a fight had taken place here.
Fang Ru searched and checked the computer on the table. The computer could still be started. Fang Ru was as happy as if he had found his way home. He said, "Mu Fei'er, always use the 'Wall of Heart' to protect me... We, Meng Xiang, you are also a college student with a certain level of education. Please help me find the scientist's last research log or useful information." After saying that, he sat down at the computer, typing feverishly on the keyboard, moving the mouse, and carefully searching the computer for the remaining information.
Fang Ru focused on his work, putting everything behind him and paying no attention to anything around him, so he specifically emphasized that Mu Feier protected him at all times.
Meng Xiang carefully read the materials and documents. Since there is no language barrier in the reincarnation world, all the materials are in Chinese in Meng Xiang's eyes.
"The last time the computer modified the file was September 10th, and this electronic clock." Fang Ru looked up at the electronic clock on the cabinet and said, "Now it is March 4th. In other words, the last time the characters in the plot operated the computer was half a year ago."
"If your inference is correct, then this is the latest scientific research record." Meng Xiang pulled out a file from the documents, then raised the notebook in his hand and said, "And this one is the scientific research log."
"Diary? Pick out the latest chapter and read it to me." Fang Ru didn't even turn his head and buried his head in searching for information on the computer.
Meng Xiang had no choice but to read softly: "September 10, snowy and windy. Today, we burned 12 more monsters to death, 3 of which were parasitic on the Weideer seals. They are over 5 meters long, indestructible, and have very thick skins. Bullets cannot kill them. The fuel is exhausted, the muskets are ineffective, and we have to evacuate the base."
"12 strange shapes? It seems that the plot has become very strange. Mu Feier, tell your companions to be ready to fight at any time from now on." Fang Ru said solemnly.
"Why?" Meng Xiang asked doubtfully.
"I am very concerned about the word 'again' mentioned in the log. Apparently, the scientists stationed at the base have faced ambushes from the Thing more than once. In addition, you were attacked here not long ago. I have reason to believe that the Thing is purposely killing humans. No, to be more precise, it is targeting all creatures."
"You killed the whale monster here before. Will the other monsters remain indifferent?"
What Fang Ru said makes sense, which shows that the monster is highly intelligent and highly aggressive.
"Meng Xiang, turn the log to the previous page and see when they found the frozen alien monster and what happened after they found it."
Meng Xiang had no choice but to continue flipping through the pages, and finally stopped at August 16th.
"On August 16, the snow started to blow. Today, as our scientific research team went deeper south, we dug up a long-frozen biological corpse under the thick ice 8 kilometers away from the base..."
"August 17, blizzard. Today, the frozen monster resurrected and killed Henry..."
"On the night of August 17, the body of the monster was dissected... It was discovered that the monster cells can imitate and assimilate cells..."
"On August 18, the monster parasitized the human body and controlled humans. We decided to use blood tests to distinguish normal people from the monster, and successfully eliminated the monster."
"On August 19, the rescue team arrived and encountered a huge monster emerging from the snow and attacking. The helicopter was destroyed..."
"On August 20, scientists from other bases flocked to us for help..."
"On August 26, the monsters will attack. They can be killed completely with bombs or fire..."
"On August 27, the Thing once again parasitized its companions..."
…
"I see. It seems that my previous speculation that the monsters have spread all over the world was correct. In the original plot, blood testing was feasible, but it ultimately failed due to internal strife. The log wrote that it was a success. The plot breaks off here, and after that, it is the war between the base personnel and the monsters." Fang Ru said with a frown.
"Scientists from other bases came to ask for help, which means that the monster has spread. We should hide in Antarctica for the next month, which is safer than going to big cities. After all, there are very few animals in Antarctica." Fang Ru had just finished speaking when suddenly, there was a slight shaking sound from the ground, as if the snow was about to collapse.
"Captain, what's going on?" Fang Ru asked anxiously through the mental link.
"It seems that there are many beasts in the east rushing towards us." Han Fan answered in a somewhat impatient tone, and added: "Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, there are many birds flying."
"Okay, let's fight right away." Fang Ru tapped the keyboard, then fiddled with the printer, printed out a few pictures, and then stuffed the computer and the remaining information into the space bag.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, the ground cracked and collapsed, and a bunch of tentacles rushed out wildly. However, when the tentacles approached Fang Ru and others, they were immediately resisted by the "wall of heart" and could not penetrate.
The sky crystal danced, white light flashed, and with a few "swish" sounds, the tentacles were chopped into nothingness. At the same time, a hurricane of energy rolled outwards, and with a "boom" a big crack was blasted in the house.
The power of B-level defense was too vulnerable to Tianjing. Fortunately, all objects had B-level defense, otherwise, Meng Xiang's sword might have flattened the entire base.
"Ahh..." A roar with a fishy smell came rushing towards the reincarnation. A mass of blood and flesh under the ground split open, revealing tentacles and two rows of teeth as sharp as rakes.
It was another strange creature parasitizing on a whale, but compared to the fin whale that Meng Xiang had killed before, it was half the size. Despite this, its large mouth, which was split open by the fish body, could still swallow the reincarnationist in one gulp.
