Chapter 705: Rest in the Snowstorm
On the open space next to the base, a thick metal plate appeared again. On it were several large sofas and tables filled with food and drinks. The reincarnations sat safely on the sofas, resting under the snow and ice.
Fang Ru handed over the information printed out from the base's data room, and everyone gathered around. One of the documents was a map that marked the location of an area dozens of kilometers outside the base according to geodetic coordinates. The icebergs, river ice, and which roads were passable and which roads were fragile were all marked in detail.
The other one clearly shows an enlarged view of a location more than ten kilometers away from the base, with detailed instructions below.
Fang Ru raised his glasses and pointed at the blueprint, saying, "This is where the first alien monster was discovered. According to the data and the description in the diary, there is no doubt about it. In other words, the spacecraft is under the ice and snow near this place."
"Which direction is this?" Gu Panpan looked around, unable to tell east, south, west or north.
"Well, it's too difficult to tell the direction here." Tang Bixin felt the same way. She often traveled deep into the mountains and had a strong sense of direction. At that time, this was Antarctica, and all common sense for telling the direction seemed useless.
"That's right. Even a compass is not of much use. Fortunately, among the materials I brought out, there is a set of building location maps. With this map, I can mark the east and west directions. After that, with a careful search based on the map, it should not be difficult to find the buried location of the spacecraft." Fang Ru took out another piece of information from the space bag and looked at it carefully.
"30 days of survival time is too long. Brother Fang, should we make defensive preparations and build a place somewhere to temporarily avoid monster attacks?" Han Fan said.
"The captain is right. The monsters are everywhere, and we must be prepared. Fortunately, although there are many monsters, their power is limited. Unlike the Ghost Rider, they do not have multiple means of attack. The general metal block defense can guarantee our safety in a short period of time." Fang Ru carefully looked at the map for a while, and then said: "We will build a defensive fortress near the spaceship. When Meng Xiang goes to outer space to kill the aliens' space fortress, we can hide and bide our time."
"Let Brother Meng go into space alone?" Mu Fei'er asked in surprise, with a worried look on her face.
"That's right. Only Meng Xiang can survive in outer space for a short period of time. Only he can rely on his subtle unloading force and strong physique to withstand the high temperature and friction when passing through the atmosphere from space." Fang Ru blinked, glared at Meng Xiang, and said, "Meng Xiang, right? Don't tell me you can't do it."
"I don't know until I try it, but with my demonized body, spiritual defense and subtle force unloading, I should be able to do it. As for the air problem, I don't need much oxygen after being demonized, and the expanded spiritual defense can store more oxygen. In theory, I should be able to do it." Meng Xiang was not confident, but he was 80% sure that he could do it.
If it was a level 5 potential lock warrior who possessed a range of continuous energy that could unload force to the extreme, then the friction when passing through the atmosphere would be a piece of cake. However, Meng Xiang had not yet reached this level and could only rely on his own skills and powerful demonized body.
"I will give you the talisman then, and that way everything will be foolproof. After destroying the aliens' space fortress, the aliens should escape in a flying vehicle, and you will act accordingly." Fang Ru pondered for a while, and added: "I will bury the navigation compass transmitter in a hidden place nearby, so that even if we get separated, we can meet at the transmitter with the help of the navigation compass.
The navigation compass, which was made very crudely at the beginning, is now of great use. The reincarnations all admire Fang Ru's foresight.
The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger, and the surroundings were covered with layers of heavy snow. The visibility was less than 10 meters. It was impossible to move forward according to the map in such bad weather, so the reincarnationist had to sit on the sofa, resting and waiting.
Fortunately, Han Fan took the trouble to project reinforced glass on the metal plate and built the roof, so even if Mu Feier did not use the "Wall of Heart", the wind and snow could not penetrate.
Snowflakes were flying outside, but it was warm as spring inside, making the reincarnated people feel at home for a moment.
There was plenty of time, so the reincarnators were not anxious. However, according to previous experience, the closer the return time was, the closer the danger would be. The current calm did not mean that the next time would be so leisurely. Therefore, Fang Ru's opinion was to let Meng Xiang go to space as soon as possible to kill the aliens, and then return to Earth to reunite with his companions.
This snowstorm lasted for 6 days, and it kept getting bigger and stronger. If the reincarnations hadn't been clearing the snow frequently, the "home" they had built might have been buried under the snow long ago.
In these six days, they had experienced three attacks by monsters. There were countless monsters parasitizing penguins, albatrosses, and seals, but Mu Feier regularly sensed the "Wall of Heart", and Meng Xiang and Zhuo Luo patrolled the area from time to time, so they were discovered and eliminated early, so the threat to the reincarnationists was not great.
The biggest threat was the monster that parasitized the herring whale. The monster inherited the body of the herring whale and had infinite expansion power. It rushed out from the ground and actually overturned the metal plates laid on the snow. Fortunately, the reincarnators were prepared and dodged, and then the monster was killed with one blow, thus alleviating the crisis.
Losing the ability to sense crisis is equivalent to cutting off the left and right hands of a reincarnator. Unknown dangers make it impossible for them to predict them in advance and make them tremble with fear at every step.
Among the monsters, the whale's is the strongest, the seal's skin is the toughest, the elephant seal is the most ferocious, and the narwhal's horn is the sharpest and almost indestructible. Although it does not have a subtle attack power, its horn is actually comparable to a double B-level magic weapon at that time.
It seems that after the monster parasitizes, it will retain the parasite's greatest physical advantages and expand its power.
However, the monster's strength is still vulnerable in front of the reincarnation. If the reincarnation was not unable to sense the crisis and was afraid of his cells being assimilated, the reincarnation could simply ignore the monster's attack.
The only thing that surprised the reincarnations was that, except for the human monster that Meng Xiang encountered when he first arrived at the scientific research base, no human monster participated in the subsequent ambush.
During these 6 days, Fang Shuren witnessed the monster's terrorist attacks and his courage was exploited to the lowest level. He hid in a corner all day long, trembling in fear. Sometimes he would wake up in his dreams, trembling and shouting, which made the reincarnation very annoyed.
Lin Suqing, who is also a newcomer, performed much better. She gradually integrated into the team, cooked with Mu Feier, joked with Tang Bixin, talked about online novels with Han Fan, fought and scolded with Gu Panpan, and talked about women's psychology with Jie Juan... At first glance, it seemed like she had known the reincarnation for a long time.
Another four days passed like this, and the reincarnationist survived for a total of 10 days. These 10 days were safe and sound, but in terms of completing the task, the reincarnationist was standing still and had made no progress.
On this day, the storm finally stopped and the sky cleared, but this is Antarctica and the ice and snow will not melt, so there is enough visibility and the reincarnations set off immediately.
The 10-day snowstorm changed the surrounding terrain. However, there were many clear landmarks on the map. Some were icebergs, and some were man-made marks such as iron rods. As long as you spent some time and moved in the general direction according to the map, you would not lose sight of the spacecraft.
However, compared to the seniors, the newcomers were indeed a burden. Fang Shuren and Lin Suqing, who were only of ordinary physique, had a hard time walking in the snow, and in order to avoid being ambushed by the monsters, they could not take the zero-gravity car. Fortunately, there was plenty of time, so the reincarnationists moved forward slowly, and after spending most of the day, they finally arrived at their destination before dark.
This is a place of ice and snow surrounded by icebergs. The ice surface, which was cut out from the ground by scientific researchers with alien shapes and ice, is covered with a layer of metal steel plate.
"Right here, from now on, we have to be on guard at all times. Mu Feier, use your 'Wall of Heart' to sense and search for the spaceship. In addition, there are at least 10 aliens on the spaceship. We have to leave some alive, after all, we don't know how to operate it." After careful consideration, Fang Ru deployed the next plan.
