Qiao Lu and his party entered the interior of the ecological monitoring station, just as the scout had reported before, it was basically deserted, not only the communication equipment was damaged, but also the important means of transportation such as helicopters and sleds were also destroyed, completely disconnected from the outside world.

However, there were still signs of human activity in such an isolated and abandoned research station, and as the investigation team went deeper, they soon discovered a cryochamber located deep in the ecological monitoring station, which can be used for human dormancy for a long time.

Five of the six freezers now had a corpse lying inside, only one had been opened, and apparently only one person had survived.

The engineering experts on the mission were able to restore power to the ecological monitoring station and quickly understand what had happened in the computer data.

"It belongs to an international peacekeeping organization called Overwatch, which is an ecological monitoring station for observing abnormal weather around the world. Nine years ago, it was hit by a rare, devastating storm that forced six scientists into a cryocompartment to hibernate without being able to send a distress signal to the outside world. Unfortunately, most of the freezer chambers were damaged during the long hibernation, and only one climatologist, Zhou Meiling, survived, and she left these documents behind. ”

Qiao Lu glanced at the photo on the computer, and the photo was a Chinese girl with a slightly chubby figure, a little baby fat face, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a hairpin on her head.

It's just that Xiaomei can no longer be seen in the ecological monitoring station, and it seems that she has left here and set off to find a way to return to the civilized world.

"Where is she now?" Qiao Lu asked.

Judging from the signs of activity left here, Xiaomei should have just left.

The investigator team member replied, "She was presumably going to the nearest workstation to send out a distress signal and get material supplies to last until help arrived." ”

Qiao Lu is a little late, but judging from the fact that the investigation team has not received a distress signal, Xiaomei should not have left the South Pole smoothly.

"You guys continue to investigate, and I'll take a few people over to have a look."

Just as Qiao Lu was about to set off to catch up with Xiaomei, who was leaving, the investigation team member hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Director Jolly. I just used our device to try to contact the workstation and got this message. ”

I saw a bunch of mysterious symbols similar to Hebrew displayed on the computer screen, which is the unique intelligent language of the Overwatch plane!

Qiao Lu asked suspiciously, "Why does this workstation use the language of intelligent machines?" ”

"There is only one explanation for this, and that is that this workstation has now been occupied by intelligent machines!"

In such an extremely harsh environment in Antarctica, intelligent machines are undoubtedly more suitable for survival here than humans.

Therefore, Antarctica is also the place in the Overwatch world where the ratio of intelligence to human numbers is the most unbalanced.

Often, 90% of a workstation is equipped with intelligent machines, and only 10% of the people are responsible for supervising the work of these intelligent machines.

What's more, in order to compete for the resources of Antarctica, countries around the world also fought a war in Antarctica with intelligent machinery as the main force, although the last war was interrupted by the intellectual machinery crisis, but also left a large number of war machines on the land of Antarctica.

This ecological monitoring station is a special case, after all, Overwatch is well aware of the horrors of the intelligence crisis.

It's just that the workstation where Xiaomei is about to go is not Overwatch's territory.

"Looks like she's going to be in trouble······"

As Qiao Lu expected, Xiaomei at this time was under the siege of a large number of rebellious intelligent machines. The entire workstation has been slaughtered by the robots, which is why the map of the ecological monitoring station shows that it is damaged.

Xiaomei thought that this workstation had also been destroyed during the polar storm, but it wasn't until she was pointed at a gun by a large group of robots that she realized that there was another intelligence crisis here.

"Why do it? Hasn't the Robot Crisis been solved by Overwatch? ”

However, the situation did not allow Xiaomei to think too much, and these smart machines had already raised their guns to shoot her.

In an instant, the rain of bullets hit Xiaomei head-on, and compared to the polar storm that trapped her in the Antarctic nine years ago, this bullet storm is undoubtedly more terrifying!

"Ice Wall, rise up!"

Xiaomei activated the frost blaster in her hand, and the weapon that looked like a hair dryer immediately erupted an extremely cold air, forming a thick wall of ice in an instant, blocking her from the rain of bullets.

The bullets struck the ice wall, splattering countless ice slags that even sniper rifle bullets could not penetrate for a while.

Mei breathed a deep sigh of relief as she was hiding behind the ice wall, this was the first time she had used the Frost Blaster in battle, and she wasn't sure much about her actual combat performance.

But under the continuous fire of the intellectuals, this ice wall obviously could not hold up for long, and soon one of the icicles was shattered, revealing an obvious gap.

Mei hurriedly retracted into the remaining ice wall, but it was only a matter of time before the ice wall was completely shattered by the firepower of the intelligent machine.

"What to do? What to do? ”

Mei held her head in a panic and curled up behind the ice wall, hoping that the bullets would not hit her, and for her first time in battle, this number of enemies was obviously a bit excessive.

At this moment, the small robot Snowball that set off with her crawled out on its own, sucking up a bottle of cryoliquid used by the Frost Impactor, and motioning for Mei to throw herself out.

"Snowball?"

Although Mei didn't want to do this to her companion, the shattering of another icicle made her unable to think about it.

"Go, Snowball!"

Mei threw the snowball from behind the ice wall, and in a long arc, it landed on top of the brains.

The small intelligent drone stopped in mid-air, suspended above the heads of the intelligent robots, and released the frost and freezing liquid in the body in one breath.

Suddenly, a strong snowstorm covered a large area around it, and the cold air wave formed a tornado, completely enveloping the intelligent machines in the area.

In a matter of seconds, the group of intelligent machines that had taken a bath in the snowstorm were frozen into crystal clear ice sculptures, shining under the polar sun.

After spraying the snowball after the blizzard, it returned to Xiaomei's side, and turned around as if to show off its small size and great strength.

"You're amazing, Snowball!"

Xiaomei hugged it excitedly, and she was so happy that she was spinning.

However, Xiaomei still lacks combat experience after all, thinking that freezing the enemy will be considered victory.

She overlooked an important problem, that is, these intelligent machines are specially sent to work in Antarctica, and it is common for them to be frozen in the ice and snow, so they are naturally equipped with corresponding thawing functions.

As she celebrates her victory with the snowballs, the ice sculptures frozen in the snow begin to vibrate at high speed and melt with heat.

Before Xiaomei could react, these smart machines broke free and surrounded her again!

"Snowball, can you do it again?" Xiaomei asked timidly.

The reply she got was: a pattern that was showing a charge.
