According to the coordinates provided by the scientific research team, Professor Qin led the team and began to march towards the mountain range.

It is worth mentioning that they had just set off the next day and found an incredible scene not far ahead.

Hundreds of kilometers of snow have become so hard that even the huskies' carefully tended paws have not been able to make any marks on them, and the temperature around them has dropped by about five or six degrees.

"This was the place to experience an ice storm not long ago."

Professor Qin, who had studied the Infinity Ice Sheet in advance, explained.

Xia Ren took out an ice axe and knocked it on the snow, but the sound of "Bang Bang" made his hands hurt.

"The power of the ice crystal storm is so great......

The power of this natural disaster once again refreshed his understanding.

Fortunately, their team was lucky, and if they ran into it on the way, they would probably have to die out.

It is estimated that the communication base station of the scientific research team was damaged by this storm.

Now the team is facing a problem, the snow here has become like a smooth ice surface, and the huskies can't run on it at all, so in desperation, Professor Qin has to take a detour, so that the trip that was originally scheduled to arrive in two days has to be extended for another two days.

Four days later, they crossed the last slope and finally saw the base at the foot of the mountain.

After a month and five days, the rescue team of 13 people was weathered and finally joined the scientific research team of 28 people!

The task of negotiation was handed over to Professor Qin, Xia Ren and the others have lived in tents for more than a month, although they can withstand the cold wind at night, but after all, they are sleeping in the snow, and after seeing the room made of special materials, their eyes lit up.

There is a bed inside!

The scientific research team had a very good impression of their rescue team, and immediately prepared sumptuous food for him, and also extravagantly boiled hot water for them to bathe.

This time, they ate barbecue!

The scientific research team carried enough food for twenty-eight people for a year, and their original task was just to take the lead, to explore the situation inside the Wuji Ice Sheet to a certain extent, and prepare for the later team.

Due to the destruction of the communication base station, and they have also obtained enough fossil specimens for research these days, the scientific research team originally planned to wait for the official rescue team to arrive, and then they and others will go back, after all, they represent the top force of human science, and if any person has an accident, it will be an irreparable loss to the entire human scientific community.

Before the meat was roasted, the saliva of more than a dozen people flowed all over the ground.

They have eaten canned and dehydrated vegetables for more than a month, and although they can change the taste, canned food can't compare to barbecue no matter what!

The hot oil dripped down, splashing pieces of sparks, everyone gathered around to warm up and wait, Xia Ren looked out of the house, Professor Qin and an assistant in the base were talking, I don't know what they were talking about, in short, Professor Qin's face was not very good.

Xia Ren then noticed that as the current base camp of the scientific research team, there were too few people in this base, and he only saw less than four people in activities except for the assistant who provided them with food and hot water.

Keeping this matter in mind, Xia Ren planned to wait and find another opportunity to ask, and after a while, the meat was roasted, and Professor Qian also came over to eat together, but compared to when he first entered the base, his interest was significantly reduced, and Xia Ren realized that his wife, the biologist Qu Lanzhi, had never appeared.

"Is everyone else resting at the base?"

Xia Ren asked.

Professor Qin swallowed the meat in his mouth, wiped his lips, and told everyone what the assistant outside had just said:

"Just two days ago, after Professors Fude and Kleiman returned from their third plane exploration, they proposed to build a new base in that hilly area for observation, and they seemed to have discovered a whole new species of fossils there, and if you want to analyze it, the amount of work is huge, and the fuel consumption of the planes back and forth is a terrifying number, and all the professors agreed to his proposal, and set off on a sleigh with equipment and construction materials at noon the day before yesterday, and now there are only five assistants left at this base."

Fude is a paleontologist and the one who has been in charge of sending newsletters to Professor Qin.

"What exactly did they find? How can all the professors put down the work they are doing and go together? Wen Yan asked.

Professor Qin pondered for a moment, and said with a little uncertainty: "It seems to be a fossil mound." ”

"Fossil mounds?"

"You found this?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.

"What is a fossil mound?"

Those present still didn't understand what was going on, only Xia Ren and Lanaya were there.

Faced with Xia Ren's question, Wen Yan explained: "Most of the creatures in this world will have their own mounds, just like people have mass graves, like elephant mounds, so far, the examiners have excavated a lot of fossil mounds, every time they are discovered, they can fill many blank periods in history, and having mounds means that at least the fossils of a certain creature appear in a large scale and concentrated in one place, through in-depth research, maybe you can figure out the cause of a mass extinction in history!" ”

In this way, it does require a lot of work, and people who delve into science are usually paranoid, and they will never let go of such a good opportunity.

……

……

The real situation was far more complicated than Xia Ren and the others knew.

One hundred and fifty kilometers away, in front of a cave in a hilly area, eight tents, large and small, had been erected, some of which had been reinforced with hard ice, and the builders of them intended to use them for a short time.

Now there is no one in these tents except fossils and instruments, and everyone stands up in the cave, waiting for something.

"Is it set up?"

Professor Forde asked.

One of the assistants replied: "Well, the amount of explosives and the location of the burial have been accurately calculated, in addition to several simulations, this blasting will only cause a small vibration to the cave, although it will destroy some fossil specimens, but as long as you can see what is behind, everything is worth it." ”

Several professors nodded, and the assistant crouched on the ground and pressed down on the detonator.

With a muffled sound, the ground shook only slightly.

A group of people walked into the cave and breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the broken stone wall inside, and the dark scene behind the stone wall.

The blasting was successful.

"Turn on the flashlight, watch your step, this time go in first a few people, and the others are waiting outside to answer."

Before Professor Fude could finish speaking, the skinny Kleiman had already taken the lead in the room.

Qu Lanzhi smiled, and the others were the same, obviously not surprised by the little old man's behavior.

There was no unnecessary nonsense, and after discussing the candidates, the three professors walked into the cave with two assistants.
