Chapter 170: Reaching the South Pole
Eating the hard-to-swallow dried meat powder, drinking the stream water that only had the bottom left, dragging the wooden board with a mountaineering bag, and stepping on the still soft white sand, Zhang Shun walked back quickly, the depression brought by the bleak scene in the demon card diluted the joy brought by Xiaocheng in the fast training green bat realm, and his mood was low, as if he had lost his soul, and he had indeed lost his "soul".
The demon soul is not really lost, otherwise this world will no longer exist, it just locked itself up, I don't know if it is in retreat to heal.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw the pole inserted near the exit, and a red plastic bag hung on the head of the pole dejectedly, as if complaining about this windless world.
While waiting for the exit to open, Zhang Shun cultivated the Golden Bone Realm and found that the passage of time in this world has become slower, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, and the slow passage of time means that he can have more cultivation time, but it also means that he ages faster than the people outside, and it was for this reason that Cooper took away his "fog raven" in the first place.
After practicing the Golden Bone Realm and the Steel Body Realm once, the exit was finally opened, Zhang Shun tidied up his clothes and walked out with apprehension.
The room was so neat as if no one had ever lived in it, the sturdy steel bar was still stuck in the wall, but there were a few women's clothes hanging on it, which seemed to have been used as a clothes pole, and the fragrance of shower gel came from the bathroom, and the air was a little moist, as if someone was taking a bath.
Curiously walked to the door of the bathroom, and the person inside happened to come out, it was Yu Xiaoyao who was naked.
Suddenly seeing someone standing in front of her, Yu Xiaoyao screamed in fright, and Zhang Shun was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and hurriedly raised his hand to confirm that he had indeed put away the black feather.
Yu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, retreated to the bathroom in the posture of covering one hand and the other down, and closed the door heavily, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "I heard that in this case, the most correct way is to cover your face." ”
A scream, there were a lot of people in the inn, the first one to rush over was still Cooper, slamming the door "knock" straight sound, Zhang Shun found that the door of the room had been replaced, heavy, strong, firm, like a bomb shelter.
"Cooper, it's me, I'll open the door now, don't attack directly." Zhang Shun shouted through the door, and when he heard the sound of the door stopping, he opened the door, hugged Cooper, and smiled: "How is it?" Think of me? ”
Cooper pondered for a while and nodded, this action made Zhang Shun feel uneasy, and asked in a trembling voice, "How long have I been gone?" ”
Cooper held out a finger: "A week." ”
"It scared me to death, I thought I had been there for a year." Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest and said.
"Hey! Have you two had enough? Get out! Yu Xiaoyao's scream sounded in the bathroom.
Zhang Shun patted Cooper on the back and asked him to go back first, while he stood at the door of the bathroom and said: "I am in charge of my territory, manly tofu, if you don't leave, you won't leave." ”
"You...... Then you hand me my clothes, and only your hands will come in. ”
"Hehe, I don't bring a change of clothes to take a shower in winter, Xiao Yao, do you also have a big problem, do you want me to help solve it?" Zhang Shun stretched out his fingers and scratched the bathroom door, smiling obscenely like a pervert.
"Yo! Came out? Tian Weidong also walked to the door of the room, followed by Loki, Tyr, Captain, Hua Ye and others, the door of the room suddenly became lively, Yu Xiaoyao was so anxious in the bathroom that she was about to cry, fortunately Zhao Lingling and Caiyunzi did not forget her, and hurriedly drove everyone away with Zhang Shun and rescued her in time.
Zhang Shun greeted everyone, came to the room of the captain and Hua Ye, and said: "I'm sorry, I thought it would come out in two or three days, but I didn't expect to go for so long, how about it, have you discussed it?" The mission surname is to cross-engineer me, just to protect a local businessman and his company, the danger is smaller, after all, they are not the main target, I think this matter is coming to an end, so the mission will not be too long, you can just take paid leave. ”
"I have discussed with my teammates, and I have also talked to the businessman named Yu Qing, and I have a preliminary understanding of the whole thing, and the remuneration is indeed much less than fighting, but ......" The captain said and glanced at Hua Ye: "I think we do need to take a vacation, and everyone is very curious about you, if what you said is true, we want to know when you joined the team, and why everyone forgot about you, if you promise to tell us, and promise that the mission will not last more than one quarter, we will take this task." ”
"Deal," Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to the captain: "Call everyone together as soon as possible and start enjoying the holiday, I want to go out for a trip, and when I come back, please have a good meal, and then I will tell you about it." ”
The captain shook Zhang Shun's hand: "Then we will say goodbye, I heard that it is very expensive for foreigners to live here, Mr. Yu said that he would be responsible for our board and lodging, and we will start working directly after signing an agreement with him." ”
Sending the captain and Hua Ye away, Zhang Shun and Yu Qing made a phone call, Yu Qing was very happy about this matter, he had long hoped to find a stranger to protect the company, and now that the situation has escalated, the need is even more urgent, Zhang Shun directly found him a team of abnormal mercenaries, which helped a lot.
Coming to the door of the inn, Zhang Shun sat down on Jia Banxian's small bench, took out the jade pendant and said, "You haven't forgotten my hush money, have you?" In order not to let you lose too much, you can play with this thing. ”
Jia Banxian didn't pick up the jade pendant and asked, "Are you going to Antarctica?" I don't want this jade pendant, if you want to go to the Frozen Flame, help me bring back the white ice crystals near the Frozen Flame, even if it is to compensate me. ”
"White ice crystals? Is it any use? How do you know if there are ice crystals near the Frozen Flame? Zhang Shun asked curiously.
"That kind of ice crystal is called a white barrier, it is formed by the cold qi released by the frozen flame mixed with the earth qi, there will definitely be it near the frozen flame, it is not of great use to you, but it can help the cultivator resist the invasion of the demons, and it is also an excellent material for forging magic weapons, you can also collect some more and give it to the three sons of Beitian, it is also good to be a favor."
"That's good." Zhang Shun nodded: "Don't talk about favors, it's good to be able to help them, I heard that the demons of demon cultivators are very powerful, I don't know if the blind people need it." ”
"The Taoist priest doesn't need it, with us, what kind of demon is he afraid of, talking about the right thing, do you know how to get the frozen flame? Burning ice is a piece of ice, if you are not afraid of being hot, you can take it with your hands, and the frozen flame is fire, even if you are not afraid of the cold, you can't take it out. ”
Zhang Shunyileng: "I really haven't thought about this problem, how to get the fire?" ”
"It's simple, find a Taoist priest to get a bottle that is not afraid of freezing, suck the frozen flame into it, and then put the bottle in the kind of jar containing liquid nitrogen to get it back."
"It's pretty simple, that kind of bottle shouldn't be difficult for the blind Taoist, right?" Zhang Shun looked at Jia Banxian with a strange smile and asked worriedly.
Sure enough, Jia Banxian grinned: "It's hard to live!" It's easy for him to use it himself, but it's hard to do it if you can use it. ”
Zhang Shun sighed and stood up: "It's really depressing to have no mana, otherwise I should be full of magic weapons now, right?" ”
As soon as he found the blind Taoist and said, he really stumped the Taoist priest, and the bottle that absorbed the flame was not difficult to find, even now, but it had to be driven by mana, and after thinking for a while, the forging master Chiyuezi had an idea, and immediately walked into the kitchen, and it didn't take long for him to walk out with something like a needle, since he couldn't use mana to draw fire, then he directly pumped it manually.
"Wear a few more pairs of antifreeze gloves, or you won't be able to hold this tube." The blind man specially admonished.
The people from the Wing Group asked for a liquid nitrogen storage tank from a laboratory, Zhang Shun prepared all his things, said to everyone, and quietly left the inn, except for the boss, the half-immortal, the monk, the gentleman, the Taoist priest and the cook, and Zhang Jing, no one knew where he went.
The reason for leaving was "to avoid the limelight", few people believed it, but they had to accept it, telling Zhang Jing that the reason was that he needed to enter the Great Wall Station in Antarctica, and it was okay to go to other countries by smuggling, but it was too difficult to go to Antarctica.
took the supply plane and came to the Antarctic Great Wall Station smoothly, Zhang Shun didn't have much contact with many people, and left with the big backpack he used to hold meat, like a ghost. The staff of the Great Wall Station felt strange about his solo "adventure", everyone knew that this was completely suicide, but because of the identity of the "National Security Bureau Commissioner", they didn't dare to ask more, watching Zhang Shun wave his hand and disappear from sight in a red four-track snowmobile, everyone felt that it must be just a dream.
The scientific food on the snowmobile has been unloaded, the car is full of oil, the howling wind seems to freeze everything, although the snowmobile can be sealed well, the car is still very cold, even the compass on the dashboard seems to be a little sluggish, and the hands are a little difficult to turn.
Just head south to reach the pole known as the "Death Zone" and reach the most famous Amundsen-Scott Antarctic research station.
The gasoline was consumed quickly, and after consuming most of the gasoline in the pocket, a huge dark blue arc top reflected the sunlight into his eyelids, Zhang Shun found a snow mound, dug out a flat surface and crashed the car into the snow mound, and then buried the car with snow, he had no identification, and he didn't bring any documents, even if he wanted to disguise himself as an explorer, it was difficult.
Wearing a white cold-proof suit, carrying a mountaineering bag wrapped in a white cloth, Zhang Shun came to the front of the top of the arc building, no one will take a walk in this place, the surname that was found may be very small, but it is more difficult to enter the top of the arc, according to Jia Banxian's estimate, the white barrier is underground below the top of the arc.
