Chapter 173: Fear
Penguins, of course, have natural predators, and of course penguins die. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For example, the great skua and seals, for example, are the most notorious "penguin killers".
But whether it's a strong seal or a nimble big skua gulp, after killing a penguin, it will either be abandoned or eaten, leaving the ground with wreckage.
But the scene in front of the film crew is a little strange - this is a complete penguin fur, starting from the chin and ending at ****, neatly divided, the internal organs, flesh and bones, and not even a drop of blood remains on the fur!
"It shouldn't have been done by seals, and it couldn't have been done by other birds!" Biology expert Jack looked through the fur again and again, and came to a conclusion, "Or rather, in Antarctica, there is no animal that can do this to this extent!" It's too delicate! ”
"It's not an animal, it's a human?" Harley's eyes widened, this is incredible, who has nothing to do with running to the South Pole to kill penguins to play? And still with this weird way of killing?
Kill and kill, why leave a layer of skin?
Jack put away the penguin skin and prepared to take it back to study it carefully.
The team continued to move forward, but because of the penguin skin, the joy was completely gone.
And then, the last thing they wanted to see happened:
More and more penguin skins, the same technique, the same "blood does not remain", the same weird!
"This is the 276th!" Harley's face was very bad, he had already decided in his heart that it was man-made, and there was definitely more than one person! There must be an evil organization that has done such a cruel thing!
He contacted the research station by satellite phone and decided to continue filming in the ice field, which he didn't expect to just do as an animal documentary, but it turned out to be such a thing.
Sure enough, next, more penguin skins even began to appear in groups!
Some people in the team were worried that they were too small to be reinforced, and they couldn't go too deep, so they asked to rest on the spot or return to the helicopter position.
Because the scene is so weird! Penguin skins are littered together, like a pile of grape skins that have been eaten and thrown away!
"Did you find out?" The team was forced to stop, and Jack leaned over to Harley's side, "Whether it's man-made or not, there aren't any footprints around these penguin skins!" ”
This is an ice field, the ice sheet is covered with a layer of snow, and the film crew has left obvious footprints on the snow along the way, but there is not even a single footprint around these penguin skins!
Now even Harley can't hold on, they are the TV station crew, not the adventure king of the death squad, in the face of this unreasonable bizarre event, it is better to stay away, they have already reported the scientific research station, and they have tried their best.
So, they decided to give up their task for the day - the salary is a good thing, but it also has to be a life expense!
After packing up their things, the group hurried back.
They went back the way they came—following their footprints, but on the way back, they found something they hadn't seen when they came—a seal skin!
It was an adult Weddell seal's skin, about 9 feet long, and like the penguins before it, only one skin remained, and all other internal organs, bones, including the thick layer of fat under the seal's skin, were all gone!
Now the team was even more panicked, and they ran forward as fast as they could, as if some flood beast was chasing behind them!
Finally, they saw the parked helicopter in the distance.
An inexplicable sense of security hit me - fly away, yes, just fly away and be safe!
When they got under the helicopter, the pilot opened the hatch, looked at them in amazement, and asked Harley, "Why did you get the camera so quickly today?" Is it so lucky? ”
Harley gasped, shook his hand, and motioned for him to wait for him to catch his breath before answering, who knew the driver's next sentence, which almost suffocated him: "By the way, why are you missing one person?" What about the Norwegian photographer? ”
……………………
On an ice floe in the far distance.
A taupe monster fiddles with the camera curiously, which is still on.
Its umbilical cord has been broken, and it is estimated that it was torn off by itself because it was in the way.
Beside it, there were scattered fragments of winter clothing, a backpack torn in half, and a "handled" human skin in fairly good condition!
After playing with the camera for a while, the monster seemed to find it bored, because it didn't know how to use it at all, so it smashed the camera to pieces with a hideous face!
The meat bun on the back has grown into huge wings, with a wingspan of more than four meters, and the wings are very similar to bat wings, but they are covered with thick black hair!
"Wow!"
The wings are spread out, and with a flap, they take off into the air!
Like a giant bird, the monster flies north!
The feeling of hunger is warning it that it still needs to eat!
……………………
The McMurdo research station received Halley's report and sent three more helicopters to check it out.
For so many years, there had never been such a terrible massacre in Antarctica, so the research station was very concerned, and a photographer from N TV station disappeared inexplicably.
The three helicopters circled over the area reported by Harley, taking pictures, and they did not intend to go down.
The helicopters carried weapons and ammunition, and in case of an emergency, they were allowed to shoot.
Their mission is to check the situation and search for the missing photographer.
Flew far away, and there seemed to be nothing but more penguin and seal skins.
Just as they were about to return home, a piece of ice floe caught their attention.
Then, they confirmed that the things on the ice floe should belong to the photographer!
Obviously, the photographer is dead, because he is only a layer of skin, and he is too dead to die.
The helicopter descended, and the search and rescue personnel first took pictures of the scene, then put away the photographer's skin, and packed all the things at the scene to take away.
In the wreckage of the shattered camera, the search and rescue team found the camera's memory card, which was thankfully well preserved!
………………
The search and rescue team and Harley and their helicopters returned to the research station, and almost everyone was in shock.
The video message in the memory card was read out, and everyone looked at it with a heavy heart.
From the moment he got off the helicopter and the camera was turned on, the Norwegian photographer was very serious about what he saw and heard along the way.
Originally, it was nothing, but from the moment the crew ran back, the camera became weird.
The Norwegians carried the camera, and they couldn't outrun the crowd, and gradually fell behind, becoming the last to run.
Of course, he was also nervous, so the camera forgot to turn off, and the camera kept shaking, which showed how hard he was running.
Everyone present to watch the video could hear his violent gasps.
Then, a dark shadow flashed, and then the camera flew up, and the sound recorded by the camera was only the sound of the wind, not the screams of the Norwegians for help, and there was no sound of gasping.
This shows that at this moment, he may have died! (To be continued.) )
