Extraterrestrial parasite - Chapter 468

c466 Return to Antarctica

After walking around the entire island, the large area of ​​undeveloped virgin forest seemed good at first glance. However, if you really want to live in such a place, all kinds of inconvenient situations are enough to make people in a civilized society collapse.

“Oh, I see……”

Hanging up the satellite phone in his hand, Chen Yang, who was sitting on the plane, casually ordered: “Let’s return to the flight.”

“Boss, what happened?” Wang Rui asked doubtfully.

“There’s something I need to go back and take care of.”

There is no need to explain too much to Wang Rui. The things that make Chen Yang rush back in such a hurry are naturally not ordinary trivial matters.

The Antarctic exploration team lost contact!

This matter started when Chen Yang first obtained the second cube. After discovering the second cube in the underground ruins in Antarctica and encountering the strange life form of the human-shaped concrete stone, Chen Yang did not appear again. Organized exploration, but also sent people to mark the place.

After exploring the second parallel world and roughly understanding what kind of world it was, Chen Yang ordered an armed exploration team to be sent to Antarctica to explore and search for the underground ruins, hoping to find more information about the cube. clues to its origins.

Unexpectedly, everything went very smoothly in the previous month and a half, and the exploration team really found a lot of clues and information about the ruins. But they didn’t expect that a phone call came at this moment, and the exploration team underground lost contact!

And after sending the rescue team in, within an hour, contact was lost!

The specific situation was not explained clearly on the phone, so Chen Yang frowned. After the helicopter landed slowly on the helipad on a cruise ship at sea, he immediately stepped out of the cabin and entered a separate office room. He turned on the computer screen and had a video conversation with Ryan who was far away in Antarctica through a satellite data link.

“what is going on?”

Chen Yang’s expression did not seem to have changed due to the loss of contact with the exploration team, and he remained calm as usual.

“Boss, the exploration team is working as usual. There has been no change, and everyone has become accustomed to it. Unexpectedly, we suddenly lost contact five hours ago… We immediately sent a rescue team in, but we didn’t expect that the drone was lost together. connect.”

“Why now…is it because of the satellite window?”

He wanted to scold him for reporting it to him at this time, but Chen Yang suddenly remembered the time limit of the satellite communication window, and asked again: “What’s the situation on your side now?”

“Boss, just in case, I have not sent people down again. At the same time, I have also blocked the entrance to the lifting platform. Waiting for your order.”

“…How many people have lost contact?”

“A total of thirty-seven people before and after.”

Ryan said guiltily: “This is my dereliction of duty. I should have accompanied the rescue team down.”

“…No, you did not neglect your duty.”

Chen Yang sighed and said: “If you had gone down together, there would be no one commanding us now… Thirty-seven people have lost contact? How many people are left at the inspection base now?”

“There are still 117 people, including 21 ordinary security personnel, 12 more EMER team members, 45 researchers, and the rest are logistics support personnel.”

This thing has an unusual flavor everywhere. After all, that place was the place where the second cube was found, especially the weird underground ruins. It was different from the place where the first cube was found. That place was millions of times wider and deeper, and it was an unexplored place. There are definitely many more… If the human-shaped concrete stones weren’t too dangerous, Chen Yang and the others wouldn’t have been able to leave in such a hurry.

Unexpectedly, when I went back to explore and look for clues this time, the same tragic incident as last time happened again. Could it be that there is a second human-shaped concrete stone in the weird underground ruins?

No, if there really is a second humanoid concrete stone. At this time, Ryan still had the breath to talk to himself. His neck had been broken and he was lying on the ground cold.

Eliminate the possibility of human-shaped concrete stones. Without too much information, Chen Yang simply stopped making guesses. Immediately ordered: “Ryan, send more drones to go down and take a look… Remember, people must not go down, and the entrance is blocked at the same time. Once anything appears… whether it is a person or anything else, kill it without mercy!”

The requirement to kill without mercy seems a bit bloody, but Chen Yang, who is familiar with how terrifying this cube is, is not sure what will appear under the ruins.

Since we don’t dare to make a bet on this aspect, in order to prevent any uncontrollable accidents, it is reasonable to kill everything without mercy.

Although this order was indeed a bit bloody, Ryan was slightly startled, and then solemnly nodded, “Yes, boss, I understand.”

After closing the video chat with Ryan, Chen Yang immediately issued an order for the cruise ship to return to Australia immediately. At the same time, he asked the airport in Sydney to prepare a special plane. After the cruise ship arrived in Australia, he could immediately take the special plane back to the headquarters.

“Zenobia, immediately organize Alpha Team and be on standby… Yes, prepare weapons.”

“Shen Lang, has the icebreaker Zeus returned? Well, yes, recall the crew members who are on vacation and get them ready to set off.”

Several orders were issued in succession. Before they even arrived in Australia, the Andres headquarters quickly made proper arrangements in accordance with Chen Yang’s instructions. When Chen Yang came back on a special plane, everything had been arranged within two hours. Chen Yang can just check.

There was no need for an inspection. Chen Yang was very reassured about Shen Lang’s ability to do things, so he only took a look at the preparations of Alpha Team.

The Alpha Team is different from the EMER Special Emergency Response Team. This is an organizational structure with a more strict selection. When it was first established, it was stuffed with the first generation of the evil god of revenge, Karl, and its combat effectiveness is very powerful.

After the second generation of the Evil Gods of Vengeance was successfully developed, Chen Yang directly added the Evil Gods of Vengeance No. 6 to Number 10 into this team, making this team with only twenty-five members actually have a generation of evil spirits. There are a total of six evil gods of vengeance in the second generation.

Even excluding the terrifying combat power of the Evil God of Vengeance, the combined combat capabilities of the remaining human team members, who possess digital individual combat equipment that transcends the times, is a team that cannot be underestimated.

At 21:45 that night, Sydney time, the well-prepared polar icebreaker Zeus set off from Sydney Port and sailed towards the Antarctic along the route without anyone noticing.

Sitting in the luxuriously decorated captain’s room, Chen Yang held the second cube in his hand and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“What’s wrong?” He rolled up a glass of water on the table with his right hand and drank it. As a creature inhabiting Chen Yang, of course he could feel Chen Yang’s depressed mood at this moment.

“I’m thinking, this universe is really scary sometimes.”

Chen Yang stared at the silver-white cube and sighed: “You don’t even know how to make a cube like this, Chief Screw. There are probably not many in this universe, right?”

“I understand how you feel.”

The right hand said noncommittally: “In fact, even the high-level civilizations I have met will maintain a humble attitude when facing this universe… just because the universe is too old, and its history is older than any civilized race. It must be long-term and long-term. Under such a premise, no civilization can be sure that it is the one at the forefront…”

The right hand is right. The birth time of the universe is tens of billions of years, which is unimaginably long for a civilization. In such a terrifying time span, who knows how many planetary civilizations were born?

Perhaps as early as billions of years ago, before the earth even appeared, there were many civilizations in the universe that came and went and died countless times.

Although the right hand claims that its life has no end, according to what it says, the oldest historical record of their race is only three million years old. These three million years are not calculated as the birth and evolution of human beings, but as the birth of civilization.

By comparison, humans have only been around for less than 5,000 years since writing began, but the race on the right has been around for 3 million years!

If it weren’t for the unique life structure of the Right Hand race that makes it difficult for them to reproduce and die, and they also like to live on other creatures, otherwise today, three million years would be enough to advance a civilization to an extent that is difficult to guess.

It is a good thing to have an attitude of reverence for the universe. At least it will ensure that you will not commit suicide and be stupid, which has unimaginable benefits for preserving your own life.

In the next few days, the icebreaker moved towards the target with all its strength. At the same time, Chen Yang also adopted the remote control mode within the communication time allowed by the satellite window, allowing Lane to make multiple attempts at the underground ruins.

And these many attempts make people feel very pessimistic.

The dispatched drone is inherently limited by the terrain and is difficult to control and link. If the program is programmed to allow it to explore and search on its own, the drone is often not seen returning until the scheduled time, and it is obviously destroyed. .

The number of drones in the base was not large enough to be tested at will. After five drones disappeared in succession, Ryan stopped this squandering behavior and quietly carried out the blockade order, waiting for the arrival of his boss Chen Yang. .

The speed of the icebreaker cannot be compared with that of ordinary cruise ships, but it also arrived at its destination at noon on the fourth day.

“Are you there?”

This is the first time Chen Yang has set foot on Antarctic soil since he left last time.

Compared with the desolation when the icebreaker arrived last time, a scientific research station has been built at the place where the icebreaker docked this time with the strong financial support of Andres.

The scientific research stations with dome roofs are lined up in a row, standing on the vast white land, attracting everyone’s eyes and attention immediately. (To be continued ~^~)
