Chapter 603: Gunshots in a Blizzard

"We wanted to go outside the tent to see what was going on, but there was intermittent gunfire outside, and the blizzard was really big, as long as we were two or three meters away, we could hardly see anything, we were afraid that we would be injured by stray bullets, so we had to stay in the tent, it was not a good feeling, especially since we didn't know what the people or creatures were fighting with the retired soldiers.

"The doctor and I could only speculate in the tent, but fortunately the battle did not last long, and after about two minutes, I noticed that the dogs in the tent were quiet, and the gunfire outside had stopped, and strangely enough, after that the blizzard also became smaller, and as the howling wind disappeared, I heard people talking. So Dr. Baker and I also came out of the tent.

"We found out that the people who were talking were the two retired soldiers who were living in the same tent as us, and when they saw us, they closed their mouths and reverted to their expressionless appearance.

"We tried to talk to them, but they wouldn't say anything, so we had to go to someone else, and we pitched six tents in the blizzard, and five of them were intact, but one tent was missing.

"I was quite surprised, because I must be responsible as a guide for such a thing, but the problem is that after the tent was set up, I checked it one by one, and if I felt that it was unreliable, I re-tied it again, and reinforced it with ice bricks, which should not have happened.

"The tent he threw away was a biologist, he was living with a geologist, but because of what had happened before, they decided to separate for a day, so he stayed with three retired soldiers tonight, except for the tent, his luggage and some experimental equipment were blown away, and he looked very frightened, his body was shaking, and he kept yelling, saying that we shouldn't come here.

"The Chinese couple were comforting him, and Baker and I wanted to go over, but Mr. Tam found us first, or to be more precise, he came to see Dr. Baker, he was still smiling, patted Dr. Baker on the shoulder and said it's time for you to work, Baker was stunned, and then asked, what happened. Mr. Tim said it wasn't a big deal, but the wind blew the biologists' tent away, and there may have been a few hungry polar bears after that, but they had been repelled by our men.

So what Dr. Baker is going to do next is to help the biologist try to calm his emotions and bring the poor man back to his senses, because he is so frightened that he has even hallucinated and started to talk nonsense.

"The doctor and I were a little skeptical, not only because Mr. Tame was so light-hearted, but also because we didn't see the footprints or carcasses of the polar bears around, but the doctor got to work, and Mr. Taem, seeing that I was still standing still, offered me to make some hot coffee for everyone to drink, and I agreed, but after making the coffee, I found that the expedition was missing two people.

"Of the three retired soldiers who had lived in the same tent as the doctor, there was only one left, and I asked Mr. Tim where the two had gone, and he said they had something to do, and went back halfway, but when I asked if I wanted to call a boat to pick them up, Mr. Tim told me no, they had their own boat, but while I was making coffee, I saw a small group of retired soldiers burying something, and I saw something resembling a human arm there, and I wanted to get closer and take a closer look, but I was chased away by the retired soldiers.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, and when the doctor came back two hours later, his face was also very bad, I asked him what was going on, he hesitated, saying that the biologist was too stimulated and had some mental problems, but he had given the biologist a tranquilizer to stabilize his mood, and he proposed to Mr. Tam to interrupt the expedition and send the biologist back to the city for treatment, but Mr. Tam politely refused, and then gave encouragement to the others in his optimistic tone as always, Say that we are very close to the ultimate goal, and victory is in sight.

"I was a little impatient, and I stared into Baker's eyes and asked him if he had forgotten our previous agreement to share it with the other if one of them found something, and I was sure Baker had heard something from the biologist, but he now seemed to be planning to swallow the information to himself, which made me angry. Beck could only smile wryly when he heard me say this, and told me what he had heard from the biologist.

He said that it was not a blizzard at all, but a very strange creature, and it was difficult to find the right words and words to describe that ugly and frightening thing, it was like those monsters that grew haphazardly in the deep sea of prehistoric times, with organs that looked like animals and plants, and anyone who saw it would have nightmares at night, and biologists swore that it did not look like a species on earth at all, and that it did not conform to Darwin's theory of evolution at all. It's like some kind of creator has put it together.

As soon as it lifted the tent, it began to kill, killing a retired soldier with the tentacles on its head, and the biologist was completely stunned and motionless, but the other two people in the tent reacted quickly and immediately got up, and they even kept their guns with their guns while they were resting, as if they had known in the morning that something like this was going to happen.

One of them drew his gun and fired, but the bullet seemed to be very limited in its damage, and it took a few shots in the body, but it did not affect its movement at all, and the two retired soldiers were also a little confused, not knowing where the key point of the thing on the other side was, and it quickly strangled the neck of the retired soldier it caught.

Then he stretched out his tentacles to another person, but he was dodged by the retired soldier who had been on guard, but this unlucky guy didn't expect that the tentacles of that thing could be divided into five more small tentacles after reaching the limit, and he was also caught, it seemed that he was too slow to pinch his neck, this time the thing directly pierced the body of the retired soldier with another tentacle, but at this time, other people who heard the gunshots also came one after another, and some people carried bazookas.

"The thing didn't seem to want to fight, so it reached out to the biologist, who thought he was dead, but the tentacle bypassed him, rolled up his travel bag with the newly acquired fossils, and then disappeared into the blizzard before the encirclement could take shape."
