So, after the team of twelve people finally arrived at the base of the scientific research team, they just took a bath, ate a full meal, didn't even sleep, and set off again after resting for two hours, and continued to rush despite the cold wind.

At the foot of the mountain, the snow was covered, and the team was moving much slower than when they were in the ice field, and before setting out, they had contacted the research team to tell them that they were going to pass, but they had not waited for a reply.

According to the topographic map given to them by the base assistant, the team finally came to the other side of the mountain at night, and found a leeward place to set up a tent halfway up the mountain.

This obviously abnormal situation made Professor Qin a little worried, whether there was something wrong with the research team, or if their communicator was malfunctioning.

The team got up early the next morning and headed out for the hilly terrain, greeted by the misty light that shone from the ice clouds, and they saw what Professor Fred had told before.

In front of it is probably the middle of the mountain range, the main peak is straight into the sky, and around it, the ridges are in the shape of squares, arching against the main peak, it really looks like some kind of ancient intelligent creature left behind the building complex, otherwise it is impossible to imagine that nature will have such a ghostly workmanship, and so coincidentally carved the mountains into this magnificent shape over hundreds of millions of years.

By noon, Professor Qin had contacted the research team again to no avail, so he had to give up the idea for the time being, they were already getting closer and closer to the hilly area, and if there was no accident, they would be able to reach it in two hours.

As the terrain flattened and became less steep, the sleigh began to move faster, and just as they were on their way to hurry, a strange mirage suddenly descended into the distant sky.

On the way here, they had seen at least a hundred mirages, some of them as vivid as the ones they had seen now, but they were far from being as grotesque as this one, though real!

In the sky stands a megalithic city, whose architectural style is far beyond the limits of human imagination, and the piles of black stones are piled up, not only reversing all the rules of geometry, but also making people feel evil uncontrollably.

Most of the buildings in the city are only walled, and from a distance, they seem to be composed of countless orthography, like a labyrinth, many places have collapsed, and some of the walls can be seen in the shape of a five-pointed star, at the top of the minaret, connected to a bridge that resembles a pipe, and in the distance, a large, cylindrical shadow stands......

The scale of the whole city is so large that it is depressing, as if it only appears in mythology, and the whole team subconsciously stops, and its appearance seems to indicate that some kind of danger is coming.

The scene of the mirage faded away, but the appearance of the boulder city was imprinted in everyone's minds, making them inexplicably afraid.

Xia Ren even had an illusion in his mind, as if he was in the center of those boulders, small and powerless.

It took him a lot of energy to finally get those visions out of his mind.

Xia Ren knew that if the system was there at this time, he could definitely see that his sanity was rapidly declining just now.

So, those illusions may all be real.

Seeing that the spirits of the other team members also became in a trance, obviously not recovering from the scene just now, Xia Ren didn't know if they also had hallucinations in their minds, more serious, or had been polluted.

In a text message two days ago, Forde named this place the Crazy Mountains, which couldn't be more apt.

"Further, you might die."

When this thought appeared, Xia Ren couldn't help but tremble even though he knew it was a dream.

However, it was also because he was in a dream that he could not stop the team from moving on, so he could only follow them and wait for his fate.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the team finally saw the outline of the tent stationed in the snow and ice in front of them according to the map, but after the mirage not long ago, the atmosphere among everyone was a little silent, and no one could be happy.

By the time we got closer to the base, the ominous premonition was confirmed.

The husky, pulling the sled, seemed to smell something and began to bark.

They found a large amount of blood under the snow, and several wooden stakes were stuck in the ground, but the dogs that were supposed to help them on the rope were gone.

"Keep going!"

Professor Qin didn't stop long, and the team sped up.

The closer they got, the thicker the smell of blood in the air, and even the icy wind couldn't completely blow them away.

When they finally arrived at the base, the terrible scene in front of them caused these people, who had spent most of their time focused on research and work, to cover their mouths, squatting on the ground and vomiting uncontrollably.

It is indescribable that such a scene is merciful enough compared to the worst of wars.

Several tents had been damaged for unknown reasons, most of them had collapsed, and they had no time to pay attention to the situation inside the tents, because in front of them, there was a large mass of ...... Flesh and blood!

It was a skeleton, some of them large and some of them small, and it could be seen that they belonged to humans and dogs, and the skin on the bones, along with the muscles and internal organs, disappeared, and the corpses of humans and dogs were indistinguishable from each other...... Mixed together!

Facing this pile of blood-colored skeletons, everyone else didn't dare to step forward because of fear, only Professor Qin staggered forward step by step as if he had lost his soul.

There were torn clothes scattered on the snow on the side, and Professor Qin tripped over it, and he didn't have time to get up, so he almost crawled over and rummaged through the pile of clothes.

"Ahh

A wail that did not look like a human sounded in the cold wind.

He found a severed finger with a ring on it, exactly the same as the one he was wearing.

Wen Yanyu couldn't bear it, he forcibly endured the fear and nausea in his heart, and stepped forward to try to comfort him, but now Professor Qin only had the ring in his eyes, and he couldn't see anyone else.

Rao is Xia Ren has seen a lot of death, but this is the first time he has encountered such a cruel scene.

He was much calmer than the others, and the first thing that came to mind was that he had to figure out why, whether it was done by a human or ......

Although the former is unlikely, he has seen the horrors of the infected and the apostles, and after the human being is polluted and distorted, it is no longer a human being, but a different creature.

The tent was in a mess, and many devices had been knocked over to the ground, and in one of the tents he found a communicator with a message on the screen about the future and the text being sent:

"Don't come! Everyone here is starting to get weird, Kleiman is constantly muttering words of unknown meaning such as "the ancient", "the lord of the polar circle", "the family of the stars", I tried to persuade him to no avail, everything happened after we took those specimens out of the cave, there seems to be some kind of virus on the specimens that can affect the human mind, if the situation continues to deteriorate,"

This text is clearly a warning to their rescue team, and it is supposed to be edited by Professor Fude, who seems to have suffered such a drastic change that he didn't even have time to send a message.

Xia Ren felt that he had a good chance of becoming one of the corpses outside.
