Half an hour later, the two stepped on half-human snow to a building.

This group of buildings is composed of container-like houses, large and small, with a total of more than 20 rooms. They form a square and can be seen as a small courtyard inside, and the entire complex has only a small entrance and exit one meter wide.

"Hey, you guys again...... Chinese? As the two stood at the entrance of the courtyard and hesitated, a small window opened, and in the dim light, a bearded yellow man stretched out half his head and said in English to Zhang Le in front of him. Judging by the manners and dress, it should be nomadic tribes, and certainly not Chinese.

"Yes, you are?" Zhang Le asked.

"I'm an Eskimo, and I have a few Chinese friends here. I'm curious, in a place where such birds don't poop, why do Chinese always come over? Come and go, can you not disturb them? Forget it, you guys come in first! The bearded man pointed to the courtyard.

Zhang Le and Sandy enter the courtyard. The snow inside the yard has been swept away, and there is only a thin layer, and there is a row of three low cedars next to the house, which brings life to this small settlement.

"There are Chinese? Where is this? Zhang Le asked strangely. His words to the bearded man were also inexplicable.

There are a lot of Chinese here?

The bearded man made a string of strange pronunciations, then closed the small window. Anyway, Zhang Le didn't understand it, and it was a very unfamiliar language.

Click, the largest container house opened a door, and from the partition of the door, there was a thick layer of foam inside and outside the door.

A kind-faced middle-aged woman opened the door, and Zhang Le, who was used to outdoor light, couldn't help but cover his eyes. When he looked at the person who opened the door again, he shouted like a ghost: "Sister Xia, is it really you?" Sister Xia! ”

The person who opened the door was none other than Zhang Houde's wife, Li Yunxia, who also worked in the kitchen and was a senior chef.

After the woman closed the door, she looked at Zhang Le. Although Zhang Le's appearance has not changed much, his temperament, body shape and dress are completely different from the original little researcher, his original face was fair, full and handsome, but now only the edges and corners are left.

"Are you...... Xiao Zhang, Zhang Le? Sister Xia asked uncertainly.

"It's me, it's me. I'm Zhang Le, my God, you...... Actually here, if Master Zhang knew, he wouldn't be happy. ”

"Lao Zhang...... Still alive? Li Yunxia hesitated for a moment, her eyes suddenly turned red, and asked.

"Very good. Now in Guangzhou, he is also a senior official in the city! Hahaha. Zhang Le couldn't help but blow.

"High-ranking city officials? Don't blow it, he can still be a high-ranking official in the city at his level. What do you say, Guangzhou? Lao Zhang returned to China? Li Yunxia was even more pleasantly surprised. But Zhang Le feels that it is always a little weird.

"Big sister, who's coming? Chinese? At one end of the house, another door opened, and two middle-aged men with glasses came over. They are all in their fifties, and they are extremely elegant and elderly. The other was tall and thin, with a wooden appearance, but small eyes that shone with wisdom.

"Academician Cha! Dr. Du! Oh my God, you're all alive? Zhang Le was excited for a moment and began to say nothing.

Zha Hongyun, 50 years old, double doctorate degree of Tsinghua University, electronic information science and technology and computer science and technology, broad knowledge, proficient in machinery, electronics, numerical control, aerospace, shipbuilding, engine manufacturing and so on almost all industrial knowledge, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Du Min, 47 years old, Ph.D. from the Department of Natural Sciences and the University of Science and Technology of China, is a vertebrate zoologist and a scientist with a very rigorous academic background who has studied birds.

"This is Xiao Zhang in the planting area, Zhang Le, do you all remember?" Li Yunxia introduced. I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhang Le found that Li Yunxia winked at Zha Hongyun and Du Min.

"Hahaha, it's fun to have friends from afar! Of course I remember Zhang Le, my daughter Xiaoxia often mentions you! Zha Hongyun smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Le.

"I have a bit of an impression that you don't know how to box, I once saw you practicing boxing in the planting area." Du Min's expression was not very rich, but the joy of the reunion of the old man could not be hidden in the tone, but the tone seemed very flat.

The attitude of the two was both enthusiastic and indifferent, and they didn't even ask about the situation of the Ice Dragon Base. Zhang Le asked himself if his cultivation was far worse, but if it was him, he would have already grabbed someone else's collar and questioned.

"Academician Cha, Dr. Du, Sister Xia, let me report on the situation of the Ice Dragon Base first. By the way, Xiaoxia is all right, and she is currently in Guangzhou! Zha Hongyun didn't ask, but Zhang Le knew that he must be most concerned about this issue.

So Zhang Le began to roughly explain how the Ice Dragon Base drove from the North Pole to Guangzhou, of course, many details were omitted, and only the situation of the Lychee and a few members was introduced. At the same time, he gave a general introduction to the latest situation in China.

"Good, good! You did a good job, and Dr. Zhao was not simple, and he was terrible, and he really brought you all back. Zha Hongyun took off his glasses, took out a plain handkerchief, and wiped a little tear from the corner of his eye. Li Yunxia and Du Min also looked excited and admired.

After Zhang Le finished introducing the situation, a few people remembered to ask for warmth. Sandy looked like a half-breed, and several people directly ignored him, only treating him as a guide or something, and Sandy didn't bother to speak, so he just sat there and looked around. Zhang Le didn't introduce it, when he was in the Ice Dragon Base, he was considered the lowest level, and everyone here seemed to still retain the original rank habits, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he could feel it.

Zhang Le didn't want to show off how awesome he was, not to mention, in the eyes of Academician Zha and Dr. Du, if he can't do academics, he is not a kind of person, and those who can fight and kill are security personnel.

The tables, chairs and sofas in the room are mostly made of rough and clumsy logs, and so are the sofas, but they are covered with animal skins. Li Yunxia brought hot tea, one cup per person.

"Xiao Zhang, why did you come here? Didn't you just say that you were also in Guangzhou? Li Yunxia asked. In fact, this question has been wanted to be asked by everyone for a long time, but they were more concerned about the situation of the Ice Dragon Base just now. Zha Hongyun and Du Min also looked at Zhang Le strangely.

"It's a complicated question, and I can't explain it for a while, but I'll talk about it later. I want to ask you a question about how many people are still alive after leaving the Ice Dragon Base. Some time ago, we deliberately looked for you in China, and none of them returned to China. Zhang Le asked.

Several people looked at each other, and it was clear that none of them were very reluctant to answer the question.

The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly fell silent.
