I Became a God in a Horror Game: 252, Ice Age
Mu Sicheng was almost stunned, he couldn't accept this kind of biochemical monster at all!
Tang's call is still relatively calm: "Then shall we go in directly now? Or call Muke and the others to report the situation first?"
"The phone had already failed when it landed." Bai Liu turned on the satellite phone and called Tang Yu, but it showed that the signal was poor, so there was no way to make a call.
Tang Yu frowned.
All the way, no matter how bad the weather is, the signal of the satellite phone is lossless, and you can talk, why do you start here as soon as you arrive at Taishan Station...
"This should be an important location in the game." Bai Liu raised his chin and signaled everyone to get on the plane, "Hold the guns, we'll drive right in."
Tang Yuda drove the plane into the air and taxied forward, and tentatively turned on the signal light to Taishan Station, indicating that someone was about to land here. After a while, Taishan Station also turned on the signal light, flashing a few times, indicating that there was someone here. Reception and landing.
"The things in Taishan Station can communicate with us in this kind of high-tech..." Mu Sicheng saw that nothing was right now, and raised his elbow suspiciously to Bai Liu, "Should it be a human?"
"Perhaps it's because this group of monsters have a strong learning ability and have already learned this level of communication, so they are specially used to trick us humans into landing there?" Bai Liu said indifferently.
Mu Sicheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and shut up obediently—he had already realized that there was no way to get what he wanted to hear from Bai Liu's mouth.
This guy likes to scare him! !
When Tang flew directly over Taishan Station, he looked down and saw someone waving a red flag on the ground to indicate that he could land here. He turned his head and looked at Bai Liu, and after getting Bai Liu's consent, Start to control the aircraft to descend.
The plane's blades come to a solid stop and spin, and the sled-style landing gear jams into the landing grooves in the snow.
In the wind and snow, Bai Liu and the others could see the general attire of the person waving the red flag from the transparent side door of the helicopter.
This person is wearing an orange penguin ski suit, stabbing his body with a pole in the ground in the high-intensity wind, most of his face is hidden under a thick woolen hat, his hands are facing towards the They waved their hands in the direction of the helicopter, as if they were very happy to see Bai Liu.
This kind of joy made Mu Sicheng shudder uncontrollably, and shrank behind Bai Liu's shoulder: "Damn, is he a monster or a human..."
"Go down and have a look." Bai Liu said, pushed open the door of the helicopter without any pause, turned around and jumped down.
The person behind him still wanted to take a step forward to catch Bai Liu, but Tang Xi who jumped down from the other side waved him away vigilantly: "I'll do it, thank you."
The man pushed his hat up, revealing a face that was flushed with cold, and he spoke Mandarin fluently. The stranded personnel at the station, are you people from outside? This is the place where you first landed, right?! My God! This is the first time in a year that I have seen The people of the motherland, they are definitely not [parasitized]! They must be human!"
"Come in quickly!" The man hurriedly led Bai Liu and the others in, looking back vigilantly while walking, aiming everywhere with a gun in his hand.
Bai Liu and Tang Yu looked at each other silently, and a group of people walked in behind this experienced team member.
When they walked to the gate of Taishan Station, several members of the observation station, also wearing penguin suits, stood there with a straight posture and a gun standing by their feet, as if they were standing guard.
These "sentinels" looked at Bai Liu and the others coldly, and relaxed a little when they saw their faces - Bai Liu and the others looked obviously domestic, but soon, these "sentinels" became vigilant again , pointing guns at their heads.
The person who led them over excitedly explained to the sentries: "I am Fang Xiaoxiao, a graduate student in meteorology who just went out to pick up the plane. They came from outside Antarctica. Can I take them in?"
These sentries were unmoved, and said coldly: "They, including you, need to detect cell activity after leaving the station before they can enter the station."
Fang Xiaoxiao smiled apologetically at Bai Liu and the others: "You may not know when you first arrived. Something happened here in Antarctica. Every time we go out, we have to observe the cell activity before entering the station. This is to protect the inside of the station. people's safety."
Speaking, he opened his mouth as usual, the sentry put on gloves, carefully scraped a small piece of mucous membrane from Fang Xiaoxiao's oral mucosa with a cotton swab, and put it into a small test tube.
The sentries took out a new cotton swab and signaled Bai Liu and the others to open their mouths.
Bai Liu calmly held down Mu Sicheng who was about to lift the gun, obediently took off his hat, walked forward and opened his mouth slightly, letting the other party scrape off a piece of his left oral mucosa.
Mu Sicheng and Tang Yuda also had their mucous membranes removed.
Fang Xiaoxiao said to them: "I'll send it to be tested soon. If there is no problem, we will be able to go in in ten minutes. Please give me a little more time."
Bai Liu took advantage of the situation and asked gently: "What happened, are you so vigilant?"
Fang Xiaoxiao sighed: "We have to start with August, a year and a half ago. I'm not very clear about the details. At that time, it happened to be around the polar summer shift change."
"Summer shift?" Bai Liu asked.
Fang Xiaoxiao explained: "The team members at the Polar Observatory basically have one round a year, because the weather in Antarctica is too extreme, and there are four months of polar night in the cold winter from April to October. .”
"Staying in the dark for four months will do a lot of mental damage to people, and it is easy for people to become mentally disturbed and suffer from T3 syndrome. Therefore, the team members who are wintering in Antarctica will basically leave in the summer of the following year. That At that time, the icebreaker will bring a new batch of team members to the handover."
"But we have been here for a whole winter." Fang Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, "Our observation station team members should have been rotated out in the summer of the year before last, but no one has come to hand over. There was almost no food..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, as if he had talked about some unspeakable topic, which made the young graduate student feel stuck in his throat, not knowing where to start.
Bai Liu expressed his appreciation in a timely manner: "We are very powerful, and we can survive on one year's supplies."
Fang Xiaoxiao fell into a rare silence, he closed his eyes, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
The expressions of the two sentinels on the side were also serious, but they seemed to pat Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder as if they couldn't bear it: "——It's all for survival."
The cell test results came out at this time, and everyone's cell activity was within the normal range.
Fang Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and happily led Bai Liu and the others in: "I'll take you to the living quarters here, you have trekked for a long time from outside, take a rest first, and have a good sleep. "
Bai Liu noticed that Fang Xiaoxiao regarded them as the summer team members who came to rotate with them from outside, but he didn't point out this point, but pretended to know nothing, and asked: "They are trapped Here, why don't you take the initiative to contact the outside world?"
"Because I can't get in touch." Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoxiao's smile became more bitter, "We have been trapped here for a year and a half, and we have made various attempts to seek help from the outside world, such as the Internet, such as satellite phones, But the network has long been gone, and there seems to be a problem with the external receiving station, and there has been no response. We have waited for a year and a half, and we have not received a call back from the external receiving station.”
"We even took the risk of sending military biplanes and helicopters out directly, but as soon as the plane flew out of the range of Antarctica, the radar detection was interfered by the magnetic field, and finally crashed on the glacier."
Fang Xiaoxiao shook his head, muttered to himself with straight eyes: "If you don't come again, maybe we really have no way to integrate into human society again, and everyone will go crazy in the polar night..."
Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao's sad and dazed expression, Mu Sicheng couldn't help sticking to Bai Liu's ear and whispered: "This npc is so miserable. It seems that he has been trapped in the Antarctic all the time. I don't know yet. The world is getting colder outside, and the people at the external receiving station he said are probably frozen to death..."
In the context 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 communicate with the outside world, so Fang Xiaoxiao and The people at Taishan Station probably felt that there was something wrong with the communication equipment, and they hadn't thought about the ice age.
But Bai Liu is not going to tell this npc who seems to be very fragile in his heart for the time being, the outside world he said has long been a wasteland of ice and snow, just like Antarctica.
After all, this npc does not seem to be able to bear the news at present.
Bai Liu's eyes slipped from Fang Xiaoxiao's open coat pocket inadvertently—he saw two small bottles of medicine inside, which happened to be one of the medicines that Mu Ke had mentioned to him, for severe manic and depressive.
"One year's supply, we lasted for two and a half years, how did we do it?" Bai Liu brought up this topic with great interest.
"There is a very low solar energy reserve here, and the daily energy supply is barely enough. As for the fuel..."
Fang Xiaoxiao covered his forehead, and let out a long breath of discomfort: "I know that the Antarctic Convention stipulates that wild animals here cannot be attacked, but throughout last year, the krill here The increase in the number was so fast that it almost turned the offshore waters of the Ross Sea orange in October last year."
"Penguins, seals, and whales here are a large number of polar animals that feed on krill. Sufficient food makes these animals reproduce at an abnormally fast rate. The number has doubled in just one year. , and the fat on these animals is extremely rich..."
Fang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and a pain that violated moral principles appeared on his face: "I also know that when early humans explored Antarctica, they did not have enough food and oil. Hunt these penguins and seals..."
"So you ate penguins and seals?" Mu Sicheng couldn't understand Fang Xiaoxiao's pain, but he probably understood that these Antarctic scientific research team members probably respected these animals.
Mu Sicheng patted Fang Xiaoxiao's shoulder sympathetically: "If you want to survive, it's normal to eat animals without food..."
When Fang Xiaoxiao heard Mu Sicheng say the word [food], she couldn't help but tremble all over, and her face turned 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 the main food because of their rich fat, but were used as firewood for burning. of."
Bai Liu looked up at Fang Xiaoxiao: "If I'm not wrong, they hunt seals and penguins in large numbers, not for food, but for refining fuel to run the entire observation station, otherwise you will freeze to death, right?"
Fang Xiaoxiao bit his lower lip and hummed lightly. Tears flashed in his eyes: "Oils purified from animals cannot be directly used as fuel, but after some technological transformation, they can be easily Combustion power supply..."
"...But the observation station is not short of food or fuel." Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes burst out with a burst of survival, and he took a step forward, holding Bai Liu's hand firmly, "The most we need The most important supplies are drugs! We lack drugs for mental treatment! Everyone suffers from severe T3 syndrome, unable to control their emotions and behaviors, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and they are going crazy!"
Bai Liu looked at him unhurriedly, her tone remained calm: "So your food doesn't come from these seals and penguins, where does it come from?"
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Liu's expressionless face, her hands seemed to have been stung by a bee, she retracted her hands in panic, her eyes dodged, her breathing was short of breath.
"I guess, our food is frozen in the ice crevasse outside, right?" Bai Liu said calmly.
"After conducting various experiments on these biochemical monsters that have differentiated into humans, they were originally going to throw them away as waste, but the lack of food made them determined to throw them away. The waste products were reused, so they were stored outside in a natural [refrigerator].”
Bai Liu's voice is very soft, as if to say an irrelevant conclusion: "Our food is people, right?"
Fang Xiaoxiao screamed with red eyes: "They are monsters, animals, not humans!!"
