When he went to a café he liked, the barista handed Yang Ming such a package without signature, but this cautious and rigid style still made Yang Ming immediately think of his partner who had worked with him many times.
"Test tube?" has been a bounty hunter for so many years, and this is the first time Yang Ming has received this kind of task to find this kind of thing. Go to Antarctica to go to the test tube, these crazy scientists don't know what they are studying that is not in line with social stability, Yang Ming didn't think much about it, after all, all he had to do was to complete the task.
I have to say that this mission is still very risky, "unimaginable," according to this old guy's style, he usually writes something more intuitive, such as: will die, you will die and so on. And how big the problem is, Yang Ming doesn't understand too much.
But presumably, it won't be too much of a problem, he's seen that glove, it's very thin, almost a tulle glove, it can be worn under a fur glove, I don't know what material it's made of, it's very strong.
"Let Andrew go," McMurdo stood Yang Ming still knew, he was not young, and going to such a cold place, although he would not freeze out of anything, but it was not so comfortable, and Andrew was in his twenties, and his body was very strong, and this kind of problem was not a particularly big test for him.
"If you want to come back from Antarctica, either a plane or an icebreaker, there are not so many places for you to escape, and if you run into the ice and snow, you will not survive half a day and will be frozen in ice for centuries. Therefore, this time the requirements are stable, in addition to ensuring that the mission objectives are captured, we must make a plan for evacuation in advance, and it is more important to come back than to complete the mission. ”
Eventually, Yang managed to help Andrew infiltrate a scientific expedition that would take off from San Francisco and fly to McMurdo after connecting in New Zealand.
Andrew is an Australian, and even holds a doctorate in his hand, and the reason why he worships under Yang Ming is that he worships Chinese culture and turns to come to study, but he got lost when he went into the mountains to find the so-called legend, and was met by Yang Ming, who was on a mission.
He was a gifted fellow, and Yang Ming felt his strength, and he was dexterous in the jungle.
He saved him "easily", and Andrew didn't leave after knowing that his profession was so cool, and he fell into Yang Ming's arms.
Andrew was very easy to get involved in the expedition, unlike those geographers and biologists, he studied history, talked about the history of Antarctica very much, and even managed to get a place in the sponsorship.
For that Scott, in order to find his information, Yang Ming spent a lot of effort, and all he knew from various channels was the great "Scott" explorer and the scientific research station named after him.
How can a geologist have such a thing as a test tube? This is what Andrew asked Yang Ming, but Yang Ming naturally had no way to answer him. Although it was a special plane, they had to pass through New Zealand's international airport before that, so Andrew didn't have too many weapons with him, a ring hidden with piano wire, and a card ceramic knife attached to the back of the belt buckle.
Two days later, the plane landed at McMurdo's small airport, which was not too big, but it was quite a small town. Several off-road vehicles took them to the living quarters, and Andrew was delighted that everyone could have their own room, which made it easier for him to move. No one cares about him, for the scientific expedition team, he has no detailed mission objectives, and in the eyes of the other team members, this guy is nothing more than a tourist who eats and drinks, maybe one day he can't stand the boring life here, so he can't see people every day and no one pays attention.
It only took Andrew two hours to find Scott, after all, there were only two wards here, and there was only one patient, Scott. To be exact, there were only two people in one of the two wards, and the other was Marlan, who seemed to be Scott's best friend. At this time, the two were locked in two separate rooms and were not allowed to store.
To put it simply, they were quarantined.
The rest of the patients were temporarily placed in other rooms, and McMurdory seemed to have had the flu recently, and many people were so sick that wire beds had to be erected in the hallway for drips.
"What's wrong with them?" Andrew asked the nurse who was resting on the bench.
"Those two guys were unlucky, they went out to measure and encountered a snowstorm and fell into a snow cave, but luckily their gPs had a tracking function, and after the storm passed, the rescue team quickly found them. But they both seemed to be sick, unconscious, and there was a surprisingly large thing in the snow cave. No, you don't know these things?"
"I only arrived today and what happened after that. ”
"They said there was a heavy bomber in the snow cave! I don't know the exact model, but I've heard that it seems to be something not long after World War II, and I don't know why it appeared here, and everyone speculated that it was on a special mission, and it might involve something terrible. So the rescue team immediately reported to the top, but because the plane was so big, if you wanted to get it out, you had to disassemble it, lift it, or dig it up in its entirety. Either way, McMurdo didn't have such a large machine, so he had to temporarily seal it and wait for the freighter to deliver it. ”
The nurse may be because no one usually chats with her, seeing that Andrew is also very handsome, seeing that there is no one around, she whispered, "I feel, I'm afraid there is something unclean in this plane, these two guys are obviously evil, all over the body are black lines, and the surface of the skin is like a spell imposed by a wizard, all of them are weird patterns." And Nascott, tsk, tsk, his whole arm was black. I've been a nurse for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this!"
"It's really strange," Andrew said, "I've never heard of this disease." ”
"It's not a disease at all!" the nurse waved her hand vigorously, "When I was a child, I heard the old people in the town say that when evil spirits cling to people, they will have this carbon-black pattern, and they need holy water instead of penicillin!"
Although Andrew studied history, he was still speechless when he heard someone say this in front of him, but he saw that this nurse knew a lot of things, and he had no defense against him, so he had to continue to go deeper.
"So, these diseases ...... Are there any consequences for these lines?"
"Evil spirits possess them, they will definitely be controlled by evil spirits in the end, and if they are not dealt with as soon as possible, they will definitely kill all the people here. At this, the nurse slapped her thigh angrily, "But I can't tell the others, they will think I'm crazy and drive me back! ”
"Have you ever thought that the way they are now, it is very likely that they have been exposed to something unclean...... Some...... The medium that stores evil spirits?" It was a bit of a struggle for Andrew to say these religious things that he didn't agree with at all, "and those mediums, most likely, came here with them." ”
When the nurse heard him say this, her face suddenly changed, and her eyes purred and she remembered something.
"It's better to take me to see their things, check if there is any problem, and prevent them from having problems, and in the end, this black spell will be in big trouble when it spreads. ”
The nurse looked at him with some alarm, "No, what are you doing so much about this, what are you doing? Could it be that you are worried about their things?"
The expression on Andrew's face was still calm, but he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking that this nurse seemed to believe in cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and should be very easy to fool, but he didn't expect his mind to be so meticulous.
"I'm new to the expedition," he pulled out his badge and shook it in front of the nurse, "I don't want to be cursed when I first arrived, and you're so beautiful, you don't look like you've become that charred black." ”
The nurse took a sip, her face full of disgust, and she subconsciously thought of that look, if she was really like Scott and them, she would rather die.
"However, if there is a problem with their things, how can you deal with it, will you not be able to do it?"
"I don't know what you said, but I know this. ”
Andrew reached out and snapped his fingers in front of the nurse, and a flame ignited from his fingertips.
"It's ...... Magic?"
"No, it's magic. Andrew withdrew his hand, "I don't know what the black spell you are talking about, but I think maybe my magic is more useful than potions." ”
"Well, not too convincingly, but ...... Let you try it. ”
