The official name of this side of the world inside the Xucheng World Passage is the Eighth Otherworld, but in fact, people within the military prefer to call it the Ice and Snow World.

Through this period of exploration and investigation, the military has touched most of the world, which is why the state of martial law in Xucheng has been lifted.

However, most of the places that have been investigated do not mean that all the places have been figured out, and in fact, most of the places that have been explored so far are located on the ice.

Yes, the ice world is like the north and south poles of the blue star, with waters beyond the ice shelf.

In the waters of D-138, a small icebreaker is moving at half speed.

There were a number of people standing on the deck, each of them carefully observing the situation from different directions.

In the cabin, a dignified middle-aged man was writing something on his desk, and after a while, he put down his pen and picked up the walkie-talkie next to his left hand.

"Third child, you report on the situation. ”

"Okay, Team Leader Gu, there is no situation in the west. ”

"Everything is fine in the south-west position. ”

"The East is normal. ”

"There's a small ice surface thirteen kilometers to the northwest, and everything else is fine, Phineas, do we need to go there?"

Gu Fei frowned, and said into the walkie-talkie, "Xiaoxue, what is the approximate area of the ice surface?"

"It's not very big, you can see that there's no movement on it, and you can see it at a glance. A soft female voice rang out.

Gu Fei's brows did not stretch, but wrinkled even tighter.

"Third, you and the fifth continue to observe, and the rest of the people come to me. ”

A moment later, everyone reached the cabin.

Glancing at everyone's expressions, Gu Fei took a deep breath: "Do you think it's strange?"

The crowd did not speak, but their lips almost moved.

A woman with a tall figure and delicate facial features who looked like she was in her early twenties stepped forward: "Brother Fei...... I think it's weird. ”

Gu Fei continued to ask, "Xiaoxue, where do you think it's strange?"

"It's been almost a month since we explored the world, but we still haven't found any signs of life, but according to the experience of our special operations team, there should be life in a world passage of this scale. ”

After Xiaoxue finished speaking, a burly man beside her added: "Gu Group, the world passage we have dealt with is also close to three digits, right? It stands to reason that the entrance to the world channel, which is the world gate mentioned outside, the bigger this thing, the larger the world connected, and the greater the probability of life." In a situation like the Ice and Snow World, it stands to reason that there will definitely be life, but ......"

Gu Fei took a deep breath and his expression was solemn: "This is also what I can't figure out." ”

"At present, the area explored has almost touched all the boundaries that we can touch, but no anomalies have been found, and even the special resources that appeared in other worlds before are very few in the ice and snow world. ”

"The reason why the military has asked us to assess the danger many times, and I dare not assert that this Atlas is absolutely safe, is because of these many strange places. ”

When Gu Fei said this, a thin young man spoke: "You say, is it possible...... I mean, the military has sent troops to the poles of various locations to observe them, but those places are the sea...... Although the judgment given by professional instruments is that the size of the sea area is much smaller than the ice area, ......"

"Is it possible that there is a reason for the instrumentation that has caused us to be at the tip of this iceberg all the time?"

Gu Fei looked at the young man seriously and did not speak immediately.

The burly man before patted the young man on the shoulder: "Fourth, you have to believe in science...... Didn't the military's equipment say it's okay?"

"Sixth, because we don't have the conditions to launch satellites for the time being, the accuracy of the instrument is limited, and our modern technology is far from being as accurate as the Blue Star. The fourth paused, and added: "My intuition tells me that what I just said is highly probable, otherwise it would not be possible to explain that we have not found life." ”

Gu Fei thought for a while, exhaled a breath, and nodded, when he was about to speak......

The cabin shook violently, and everything as far as it could see was shaking.

"The hull of the ship seems to have touched something!" said the sixth man: "Everyone hold on!"

When Gu Fei picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to speak, the walkie-talkie had already sounded the voice of the third child.

"Gu Group! There's something down there! Suspicious signs of life!!"

......

Ice and Snow World, fifteen kilometers from the base at the entrance, a special armored vehicle is driving on the ice.

"So, in fact, this is the first line of defense for the military now, and the outer fortress is the second?"

Wang Xukun looked at the scenery outside through the window and asked Liao Qiang in a low voice.

"Yes, the fortifications have been built since the first day of entering the Ice and Snow World, and they are mainly arranged this way to deal with more extreme situations. Liao Qiang replied.

Gu Lifan was a little puzzled: "What is an extreme situation?"

Liu Yu, who was sideways, replied: "For example, if the life of this world attacks us, this internal defense line can play the role of the first buffer, if the enemy is weak, then it can resist them and prevent them from crossing the world channel, and if the enemy is strong, it can also delay time and buy more time for the transfer of citizens in Xucheng outside." After all...... The first one inside is broken, and the second one outside......"

"But now it shouldn't be such an extreme situation, the purpose of seizing the time to mobilize high-intensity forces to build fortifications was to be afraid that there would be things here, but now it is basically certain that there are no such things in the ice and snow world. Liao Qiang took Liu Yu's words and explained.

So that's it...... It is equivalent to saying that if the worst happens, the military is ready for the troops to be prepared for the transfer of citizens from Xucheng outside at the cost of a lot of sacrifices?

Gu Lifan's emotions became complicated.

Part of it is proud of the spirit of the army, and the other part is a little sour......

The thought that a warrior like Liu Yu, who was about his age, would die in that extreme situation, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to say something, the voice of marshmallow grievance sounded in his heart.

"Gu Gu, woo woo...... Obviously, I feel like there's a good time outside, but why...... After coming in...... It's gone...... Woohoo......"

Strange to say...... The marshmallow, which had been yelling outside before, hadn't been yelling since it came in, but it had been complaining about similar things along the way.

"You can't blame me for this, marshmallow, I'll sneak you to eat some plastic bags when we get to our destination...... Hehe, I brought your brother with me, didn't expect it?"

"Good duck, good duck!" Marshmallow became excited: "Gu Gu is the best!"

The armored car drove for a while, reaching a small base that was much simpler than the one at the entrance to the World Passage.

The group got out of the car and entered the small base.

Liu Xiaozhuang, who had short-circuited the combat uniform directly to urinate before, was embarrassed to say nothing along the way, and he really couldn't hold it back.

"Teacher Hao, what is our teaching task here?"
