Chapter 1042: The Transit Station
An accident almost happened, resulting in a tragedy.
But fortunately, there was no danger, after Qin Fan safely entered the engine room, the ship's boss Blanca also boarded the plane along the staircase, and the helicopter circled away, arriving at the transit station on the edge of the Antarctic inland in the coming storm.
Under the command of the staff of the transfer station, everyone got off the plane and ran directly into the shelter.
This is a joint transit station built by the United States.
The main body of the building is made of state-of-the-art insulation and isolation materials, which can withstand a super typhoon of 14 degrees, and is one of the safest refuge places in the Antarctic Circle research station complex.
As soon as they entered the gate of the shelter, everyone felt like they had stepped from the South Pole into the rainforest in an instant.
The warm waves are blowing in the face, the incandescent lamps are hanging overhead, and the evacuation facilities are complete, and it is simply two different worlds from the outside.
"God, I thought we were going to die out there. ”
Paul, who was thin and small, drew ten with his hands on his chest after entering the shelter, completely in the posture of the rest of his life.
As for the others, the expressions on their faces are also different.
Most of them sat down on the ground, and after a short breath, they began to take off their bloated down jackets and faces, enjoying the summer temperature in the shelter.
Only Qin Fan and Ying Junyao stood aside, their eyes scanning the surroundings, obviously still wary of this new and unfamiliar panorama.
"Beautiful lady, you don't have to worry, this is the most advanced transit station in our country, and all the people who can appear here are the staff of our Antarctic research station, and no one will threaten your life. ”
Jason looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"Well, thank you. ”
Ying Junyao nodded, then looked at Qin Fan and asked, "Are you okay?"
She still hadn't recovered from what she had just seen on the helicopter.
It's thrilling.
She obviously saw Qin Fan's body in the storm, as if a leaf had been blown away, and it fell straight towards the glacier in the distance, but she didn't expect that Qin Fan would be able to escape from death, grab the horizontal ladder at the moment of flying out at the end, and be reborn in a desperate situation, which made even her, who had always been unfazed in her heart, almost make her heart jump out of her throat.
"It's okay, it's just that my hand slipped and almost didn't catch it, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, if I had changed before, I would have fallen down, and I couldn't catch the ladder at all. Qin Fan said lightly.
Only Ying Junyao could understand what Qin Fan meant by him before.
Although only the two of them could hear Chinese here, Ying Junyao nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Considering safety concerns, Ying Junyao and Qin Fan did not take off the masks on their faces after entering the shelter.
After all, the scope of the wealthy families involved in this "Antarctic Plan" is too wide, and there are two wealthy chaebols from the United States alone, so didn't the refuge plant their eyes and report the situation here in a timely manner.
The shelter should be fully equipped with living facilities.
After leaving the emergency area at the door, everyone went to the inner living hall.
Restaurant, kitchen, fitness area, library, dormitory, cinema, café and even a barbecue for staff......
It's a huge Antarctic resort, and almost every recreational activity imaginable is included in this humble transit center.
Ying Junyao refused Jason and Paul's invitation to lunch, but went to the café with Qin Fan, and after grinding two cups of hot coffee by himself, he sat in the corner and used coffee to dispel the heat and cold in his body.
"This blizzard is terrifying, not manpower can deal with it, we are lucky, we arrived here in time for the blizzard, but I don't know if the 'Royal' can hold on, withstand the blizzard, and successfully reach the interior of Antarctica. ”
The temperature in the shelter is constant all year round, standing at about 23 degrees Celsius.
Both men took off their heavy down jackets and sat here in thin sweaters and talked softly.
"Regardless of whether they can resist it or not, at least the time to arrive in the interior of Antarctica will be some time later than expected, we are already three days faster than them, plus the blizzard gives us time, it will be our biggest advantage in this mission, arrive at the no-man's land before them, find the meteorite fragments, and then return smoothly." Ying Junyao said softly.
"Do you really believe the four people on the boat?" Qin Fan suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" Ying Junyao was stunned, this question had been discussed by them when they were on the ship before, and they had reached a consensus, she didn't know why Qin Fan suddenly asked again.
"Actually......" Qin Fan opened his mouth, but quickly closed it.
"Hello Ms. Win, Mr. William, the stationmaster of our Mi Country Transfer Station, heard that there is a beautiful Oriental lady in the station, and I want to invite you to come over to talk about it, I don't know if Ms. Win is convenient?"
At this moment, Jason, who had changed into a black suit, walked up to Ying Junyao with a smile and opened his mouth to invite him.
