Extraterrestrial parasite - Chapter 478

c474 On the eve of crisis (1)

“Huhuhu…”

The cold wind howled outside the glass window, and the rolling strong wind swept endless snowflakes, covering half of the sky. People’s sight was cut off within seven or eight meters. No matter how far away, they could only see a vast white snow scene.

In such bad weather conditions, it is absolutely unsuitable for travel. Whether it is visibility or road conditions, it can be said to be extremely dangerous.

However, the convoy carrying hundreds of people set off an hour ago and was about to go to the scientific research station to board the icebreaker there.

The second group of people is still being prepared. When the convoy returns again, they can set off for the scientific research station. Before that, Chen Yang still has to pay special attention to the situation on the lift channel.

“Boss, the second group of people is almost ready and can set off at any time.”

Holding a cup of steaming coffee, Chen Yang, who was sitting on a chair, turned around and found Ryan walking in through the opened automatic door.

“Ah That’s good.”

Chen Yang nodded, suddenly stood up with coffee in hand, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, stared at the wind and snow outside, and asked: “How is Zenobia over there?”

“She has installed all the X-335s, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.”

Chen Yang was still very relieved when Zenobia was working. He put down the coffee in his hand and returned to the holographic digital touch screen. With a swipe, he brought up the map of the underground ruins in the past two months.

After two months of investigation, most of the underground ruins have been clearly explored, and computer engineering software has been used to draw a 3D map. The holographic map presented in front of Chen Yang at this moment is extremely clear. Each route and even the ruins themselves are vividly depicted. Even if others have not been to this place in person, they can understand the terrain just by looking at this holographic three-dimensional map. Once you have a general understanding, nothing will be unclear.

“There is only one passage in the three ruins… Ryan. Are you sure you have searched clearly? This is the only entrance and exit?”

This matter was very serious, and Chen Yang’s tone was unprecedentedly serious.

“I think… with more than two hundred people searching, there shouldn’t be any missing places.”

Ryan shrugged his shoulders: “We have searched every gap… Unless the second passage is under the abyss, there is absolutely no second passage.”

“…”

Chen Yang was speechless, still hesitating in his mind.

“You go down first. I’ll come back to you if I have anything to do. Pay attention. Always pay attention to the situation on the lift channel.”

“Yes. I understand.”

When Ryan walked out, Chen Yang sighed slightly: “Sir Screw, what do you think we should do?”

“Are you hesitating whether to blow up the manhole?”

Although there were no unusual changes in his right hand, the sound transmitted through the bones still appeared in Chen Yang’s ears very clearly.

“That’s right.”

Chen Yang nodded and admitted: “The appearance of the fourth light film means that the fourth cube must be there. Since we have searched that place no less than ten times before and still haven’t found the light film, it means that it only appeared recently… I suspect that it may have just appeared a few days ago. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that the expedition team suddenly had an accident and lost contact.”

“If we blow up the passage now, we will be equivalent to completely giving up the fourth cube, so I…”

“Boarding body, haven’t you learned how to overcome your overly strong desires until now?”

His right hand slowly said: “Biological instinctive desires are very strong, but only by learning to overcome your own overly strong desires and not letting desires blind your eyes can you survive better and longer. Go down.”

Chen Yang was surprised. He really didn’t expect that his right hand could actually say such philosophical words. Is he human or is it human?

Chen Yang had already had enough of chicken soup for the soul, and his right hand’s words were actually a warning to Chen Yang. Don’t be blinded by interests, but look more at the actual situation.

Those unknown creatures that keep emerging from the light film. In Chen Yang’s opinion, it is not impossible to deal with it. Individual weapons are not enough, and there are various weapons with great power. He does not believe that a cloud explosion bomb cannot destroy that unknown creature.

But the endless number is really terrifying. The undiscovered fourth cube means that the light film cannot be turned off, so who can be sure that some terrifying unknown creatures will continue to appear.

In the first parallel world, the terrifying creature guided by the unsolvable ORIGIN had an attack power comparable to that of a nuclear weapon, and almost killed Chen Yang at that time.

If another unknown creature like this pops out of this fourth light film…

That would be great fun, and it would definitely be a huge disaster for mankind.

Is the “gate to hell” closed? Or is it to indulge in the entrance and exit passage of the “Gate of Hell” for the benefit that has not yet been obtained?

“I understand, so what do you mean is that there is no need to take risks and the entrance and exit channels should be blown up immediately?”

“…Idiot, I want you to calmly observe the situation first. Who asked you to blow up the entrance and exit channels rashly?”

Well, he seemed to have a bit of a misunderstanding of what his right hand meant, but it didn’t matter, at least his decision was in line with Chen Yang’s meaning.

…

…

After the first group of people left, in such bad weather, it was expected that if everything went well, it would take more than six hours to reach the scientific research station, and it would definitely take twelve hours for the convoy to return to the base, under optimistic circumstances. That’s a matter for the future.

Plans are not as fast as changes, but there is nothing we can do about it. Everyone must execute Chen Yang’s insistent order unconditionally.

Then there are still eleven hours left, basically it will be around six o’clock in the morning the next day before we can see the returning convoy.

There are still about a hundred people left in the entire base, most of them are researchers, and a few are members of the EMER team. With so many people, the chef must not leave, and he must continue to work carefully for these more than a hundred people. Prepare dinner for the day.

Except for those who went down today, most people don’t know the truth. Although the evacuation order issued by Chen Yang is a bit abrupt and cannot be understood by many people, the people sitting in the cafeteria eating food are still optimistic. Keep everything on the bright side and eat the dinner prepared by the chef with relish.

With the central air conditioner regulating the temperature, the temperature in the restaurant and even the entire base is always maintained at a constant temperature, which is very suitable for human life. So when you walk inside the base and see people coming and going wearing short-sleeved shirts or shirts, don’t be surprised. This is the most common attire in the base. Only when you need to go out to do errands do you need to wear that heavy suit. Clothes, just inside the house, or even being naked are not a problem at all… as long as you are not afraid of being sent to the psychiatrist’s ward.

After finishing the French meal specially prepared by the French chef for Chen Yangta – I have to say that being able to eat an authentic French meal in a place like Antarctica once again proves the importance of money in this world.

Chen Yang put down the tableware, gave instructions, added some clothes, and walked out with No. 6 and No. 7.

As soon as the door opened, the whistling cold wind mixed with the thick snow rushed towards the face. It was almost impossible to open one’s eyes. The sharp cold wind blew across the face, as if a knife had cut open the delicate skin. The painful feeling on the skin makes it almost impossible to muster the courage to step out of the warm and moist base.

Fortunately, Chen Yang and No. 6 and No. 7, who were holding weapons behind him, were not afraid of the wind and snow, and could endure the low temperature of more than 60 degrees. Even if the cold wind blew on his face, he would not have the urge to retreat. .

Walking out in the violent storm and snow, following the road opened outside the base to the lift tunnel, the face recognition system scanned and recognized Chen Yang, automatically opened the door, and allowed Chen Yang and others to walk in.

“Sir.”

Standing in front of the elevator were four members of the Alpha Team. They were fully armed and vigilant, keeping an eye on the situation in the elevator and the passage below.

“How’s it going? Have the cables down there been repaired?”

“The maintenance team has already gone down and said it will be done in half an hour.”

Chen Yang stopped in front of the elevator, patted the iron railing, and said, “Let the people below pay attention. If you find anything wrong, return immediately.”

“yes.”

After inspecting the situation, he found that everything was pretty good. Just when Chen Yang was about to go back, he suddenly frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.

“I’ll go down there, you guys stay here.”

Without letting No. 6 and No. 7 follow, Chen Yang walked into the elevator, pressed the button, and let the elevator whine into action and suddenly sink.

It took several minutes to complete the 900-meter tunnel. When Chen Yang went down, he happened to see the maintenance team repairing the damaged cables and surveillance cameras.

Without interfering with the maintenance team’s work, Chen Yang hurried forward deep into the tunnel and stopped at the fork in the road.

“It’s better to be careful.”

After murmuring something in a low voice, Chen Yang chose the tunnel in the middle and walked.

After a while, a faint vibration came from the entire tunnel, as if something happened deep inside.

“There is still one.”

In the dark tunnel, Chen Yang, who had just entered not long ago, suddenly appeared and entered the leftmost tunnel again.

Yes, although he destroyed the passage on the right and cut off the entrance and exit between the ruins and this side, the other two ruins are still in good condition. Although there was no evidence that there were still communication channels between the three ruins, Chen Yang, who was cautious, decided to destroy the stone bridges and ten-meter-long tunnels of the other two ruins.

This distance is not entirely used to block those unknown creatures. If we really want to completely isolate them, there is no way to be more effective than directly destroying the elevator tunnel.

After all, Chen Yang still chose to leave a chance for the future by doing this. After all, it is much easier to clear a collapsed tunnel of about ten meters than to clear a passage of more than 900 meters. (To be continued ~^~)
