Extraterrestrial parasite - Chapter 482

c478 The Eve of Crisis (5)

Two hours later, the two modified drones took off in the gradually calming weather and flew towards the base.

The first group of people left here on the icebreaker Zeus, but it would take dozens of hours until the second icebreaker arrived. During this time, information on the unknown creatures from another world was obtained. It seems extremely important.

Corresponding intelligence must be obtained in order to make relative arrangements for the next response.

Therefore, modifying the drone immediately and releasing the drone for reconnaissance was what Chen Yang immediately ordered all his efforts to do.

The weather conditions are now good and have little impact on the flight of the drones. In just two hours, the two drones can approach the base and launch reconnaissance operations against it.

All Chen Yang and others had to do during these two hours was to wait patiently.

Judging from the distribution map of Antarctic scientific research stations, there are a total of 150 scientific research stations established by various countries on the entire Antarctic continent of 14 million square kilometers.

But within 700 kilometers around the base, there is no scientific research station, except for the scientific research station established by Andres.

Even though the number of creatures from other worlds is indeed astonishing, it is very difficult to encounter traces of humans in a short period of time.

“boss!”

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Chen Yang replied without raising his head: “Come in.”

Zenobia opened the door and walked straight in.

“What’s going on?”

“Boss, the Polar icebreaker has a smooth journey. It didn’t encounter any trouble. According to the current sailing speed, it should be able to arrive an hour early.”

“Well, that’s right. If possible, let them speed up a little bit more… This is not a place to stay for a long time.”

Especially now. Chen Yang added silently in his heart.

“Yes, I will notify him of them immediately.”

Zenobia nodded and was about to leave. Chen Yang suddenly stopped her with one sentence: “By the way, how many people do we have here now?”

“…Including you, boss, there are 137 people in total.”

Zenobia answered without hesitation, showing that she had already had this number in her mind.

“137 people? Can the Polar icebreaker carry so many people?”

The Polar is no better than the latest model of the Zeus icebreaker. It was originally an obsolete product and was purchased by Chen Yang. Its service life is already thirty-five years old. The old model may not be able to support so many guests. You must know that there are dozens of necessary crew members on the ship.

“Boss. No problem. I have inquired carefully before. The Polar Ship can still carry 154 people, and the reserves on board are enough to guarantee our consumption for a week.”

Zenobia’s thoughts were indeed very delicate. She actually asked Chen Yang clearly about things that Chen Yang had not explained to her, and she could answer Chen Yang’s sudden questions well at any time.

Such talents were really wasted as mercenaries in the past, but fortunately Chen Yanghui recognized talents. Zenobia’s talents were discovered and she was given a big stage to display her talents.

Even in comparison to a certain extent, Liu Helan may not be as delicate as Zenobia. It can only be said that Liu Helan’s victory is based on knowledge, and he is indeed much better than Zenobia, who is not highly educated.

After waving Zenobia down, Chen Yang changed his clothes and came to the biological laboratory of the scientific research station.

Just inside, five or six researchers are conducting dissections and DNA tests and comparisons on previously collected unknown organisms.

“How’s the progress?”

Chen Yang asked in a low voice about the progress of his research.

He looked up at Chen Yang and realized that he was from the senior management of the headquarters. The person in charge of the laboratory is over fifty years old and has thin hair and a beard. Hearing this, he replied with excitement: “Incredible, really incredible. This creature is definitely a great discovery.”

“……What’s the meaning?”

“Sir, you know that the basic elements that make up our living substances are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Among them, phosphorus plays a vital role in the biological cells of our earth and is responsible for maintaining our genetic material DNA. , RNA skeleton…”

The old man’s eyes shone with astonishing light: “It is also involved in our cell membranes, transporting energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. Without phosphorus, most living things on the earth would not be able to survive. But this kind of creature actually uses The form of arsenic acid is integrated into the DNA to replace the role of phosphate…This is definitely a life form that is completely different from our earthly creatures.”

After hearing the old man chirping for a long time, although Chen Yang understood what he was saying, he also sighed.

After all, no matter how different this creature is from earth creatures, its adaptability to the earth’s environment is the most critical point.

After testing by these researchers, this unknown creature has always maintained a high degree of activity at temperatures ranging from minus 60 degrees below zero to around 80 degrees above zero, without any abnormalities.

Normal earth air experiments did not find anything unusual.

More experiments will take a lot of time to verify, but these alone are enough to make Chen Yang feel worried.

Generally speaking, creatures on different planets have different life forms. Even though the life forms are basically similar, because each planet is different, not all can adapt to each other’s planet environment.

For example, if humans are thrown to another living planet, let alone poisonous gases, bacteria, and viruses. If the oxygen concentration is different, many people will not be able to adapt to it. Even if the concentration is higher, they will not be able to survive for a long time. Can cause oxygen poisoning.

It can be seen that life is really a very fragile thing, and it will die due to various reasons if you are not careful.

After thinking about it, Chen Yang suddenly realized that if he looked at the world opened by the first two cubes, would the world opposite the fourth cube also be a parallel earth?

That makes sense.

However, with the existence of such a monster, if the opposite side is really the earth, Chen Yang does not have high expectations for the humans in this parallel world.

Instructing the laboratory to hurry up, Chen Yang walked out of the laboratory and rested for a while before receiving the reconnaissance images transmitted from the drone.

Standing in front of several big screens, Chen Yang and others felt their hearts go cold. The situation was simply worse than they imagined. I saw two drones gliding through the sky in the distance. The originally white land of ice and snow below was now filled with dozens of torrents with a width of more than a hundred meters rolling past. It was those greasy tentacle creatures.

This place is still twenty kilometers away from the base!

For a moment, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. They held their breath and did not dare to breathe. They only felt that their hearts became heavier.

The vast army of torrents extending from the sky, the number of which is just here, is estimated to exceed one million. If it is centered on the base and radiates in all directions, the number level will be even higher.

When the drone continued to fly forward, just seven or eight kilometers later, the huge tentacle that Chen Yang and others had seen before appeared again in front of them.

The diameter is more than three meters and the length reaches about 150 meters. It is like a terrifying earthworm, surrounded by countless greasy tentacles, slowly crawling and squirming on the snow.

And this slowness is also relative to its volume and length. If compared with humans, the speed is definitely not slow.

One such terrifying tentacle appeared, followed by seven or eight more such tentacles. This was heading in the direction of the scientific research station, not including other directions.

How terrifying!

The room was as silent as iron. Even Chen Yang and others could not speak at this moment, not to mention Ryan and others. They were under great pressure in this horrific scene that they had never seen or even imagined. Their nervous emotions turned into cold sweat, and drops fell from their foreheads. The skin on my face seeped out and slowly flowed past my cheeks without noticing.

“so far so good……”

After a long time, Ryan managed to suppress his horror and said with a bitter smile: “If the number is like this, it is actually not too difficult to annihilate. As long as the United States dispatches five to seven aircraft carrier formations and take turns bombing day and night, maybe it will take a week. It can be done.”

“Maybe it would be faster if we use nuclear weapons?” Zenobia thought thoughtfully.

Using nuclear weapons in Antarctica?

It’s hard to get other countries to agree, right?

After all, Antarctica is the last piece of pure land for mankind, and countries have already reached a consensus to avoid Antarctic pollution as much as possible.

If nuclear weapons are used, the lethality is certainly sufficient, but no one is sure how harmful it will be to the Antarctic environment.

Of course, if it were a matter of life and death, no one would care so much.

However, when the drone approached the original site of the base, everyone almost couldn’t recognize it.

No, maybe the original base has been submerged by the endless tentacles. If the longitude and latitude were not confirmed correctly, how could it be identified!

Looking at the unknown group of organisms gushing out like hot springs, the huge tentacles coming out of the ground, and the greasy tentacles that were accompanied by a million times the number, what Ryan said before could no longer be uttered.

Ten million, maybe the US military can kill them all in just one week, but what if there are thirty or forty million?

You must know that from nine o’clock to now, only more than five hours have passed, and so many unknown creatures have surged out. Give them a week, who knows if there will be billions or tens of billions. !

This means standing still and allowing humans to attack, and the dispatched bombers must die of metal fatigue… The only way to do this is to use nuclear weapons.

In this situation, Chen Yang simply gave up the idea of ​​​​looking for the cube. There were tens of millions of otherworldly monsters densely packed together. Even if he and his right hand had full attack power, they would not be able to make even a splash when they fell. It will be submerged without a trace. (To be continued ~^~)
