Chapter 65: Slaves

Early the next morning, Li Jie woke up in a burst of birdsong, he slept for 14 hours, and after being woken up by the alarm clock, he looked around sluggishly, and it took more than ten seconds before he realized where he was.

I can't blame him, I can only blame the blackout curtains in this room are so good, so that he is not disturbed by the polar day, and has a rare sleeping environment.

This is a dormitory, there is no sign of being inhabited, the last owner was very clean when he left, and even because of the special environment in Antarctica, there is not much dust.

In the dormitory, beds, tables, chairs, TVs, and hot water bottles are all available, of course, for now, the most satisfying thing for Li Jie is naturally the thick shading fan......

I don't know, I thought it was a slightly smaller express hotel, and I couldn't tell it was in Antarctica.

There is a boiler in the equipment room that provides hot water, but Li Jie did not turn it on, after all, it is not before, there is no huge logistics support in Huaguo, and the remaining tank and a half of fuel oil will be used a little less, so if it is not necessary, it can be saved.

Before going to bed yesterday, he built a wooden house outside the house, arranged a magma stove and a bathtub, which was a bathroom and a hot water room, and took a comfortable bath before going to bed.

Li Mingmen, went to his "bathroom", boiled hot water with coals, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and after finishing this set of procedures full of fireworks, he felt that he was really alive.

Kicking away the mess at his feet all the way - he was too lazy to clean up - went to the well-appointed restaurant at Aurora Station, which opened like a café in Huaguo, a good place for the members of the expedition to rest, chat and relax, and it was also a rare place that did not make a mess.

The dining room is divided into three sections, the back kitchen, a small bar, and several dining tables. It can be seen that it also functions as a small bar.

When I woke up early in the morning, I didn't plan to go to the back kitchen to start the fire, but I used the space to get a piece of bread, sandwiched a piece of beef, and sprinkled some newfound chili sauce—which Li Jie thought was the most important trophy—and ate it all in a few large bites.

Next, using the tea leaves he found to help himself make a cup of tea, Li Jie took out the prepared pen and paper, sat quietly at the table, looking at the snow scene outside the window, his brain spinning rapidly.

It's time to plan for what you need to accomplish next.

His ultimate goal is to leave the Antarctic continent, return to China, and find his family.

The best way is naturally an airplane, however, an airplane that can travel directly between the Antarctic mainland and China is not sure whether it exists or not.

Then, it is likely that you will need to take a boat, leave Antarctica, and then return home through other means, which is destined to be not peaceful.

According to the goal, Li Jie picked up the pen and simply recorded it in the notebook:

First, use these two days to interrogate 28 captives one by one, on the one hand, to help yourself use the satellite phone that seems to be powerful, on the other hand, to see what these people are capable of, what help they can provide to you, and finally, to find out the details of that mysterious organization.

Second, if you can use satellite phones to contact the outside world, everything is easy to say, find a way to get out of here, if not, immediately go to the scientific research stations of other countries according to the map, look for survivors, see if you can understand the outside situation, and at the same time see if there is any state support behind other survivors, and whether they can find a way to return to the Asian continent.

Third, prepare with both hands, and at the same time prepare for your own departure: search for technical personnel who can fly planes and ships, and look for ships, planes and other means of transportation that can cross the sea.

Fourth, use your own materials to form a team with yourself as the core.

……

It's not nice to be in the game. The senses are weakened, whether it is pain, hunger, or touch. Even Li Jie himself doesn't like to stay in it for a long time without special circumstances, which makes him unable to feel his existence.

Especially the 28 people in the game, they are also restricted in their freedom and locked up in a small stone house of only a few square meters, which is even worse than imprisonment!

In addition, when the HP is reduced to only half a block due to hunger...... Strictly speaking, this is already a state of frequent death. This perceived imminent death, while also being in a claustrophobic state of despair, almost drove the 28 people in the game crazy.

After Li Kit detained them separately and cut them off from communication, they would even like to end their lives if possible, or simply go crazy - but unfortunately, the rules of the game do not allow them to bite their tongues and kill themselves, even if they hit a wall...... If you're crazy, you can't seem to do it.

So, for Li Jie, the beautiful game space is comparable to the infernal hell for these 28 people who are confined to a black room with only a torch and a skylight in the room.

Every ten minutes, there is a sunrise and sunset—in fact, this time can be adjusted, but not - God knows how long it has been.

Finally, one day, one of the 28 people suddenly disappeared.

……

At the beginning, Dr. Zhang still had time to think about what principle the game was based on, and he could roughly judge how long each sunrise and sunset was, and then count how many sunrises and sunsets he experienced......

1，2，3，4，5…… 200…… 300…… 1123…… Finally, he collapsed, and in this black stone house of a few square meters and nothing, he shouted loudly: "Li Jie! Li Jie! I'm still useful, I can help you develop the game, do you hear! There's something I haven't told you yet! You let me out! ”

"Let me out! Please! Let me out! ”

"Ah!!! Let me out!!! ”

“……”

However, he was always greeted by silence and sunrises and sunsets......

I don't know when, Dr. Zhang wandered around the sluggish sub-room, muttering in a low voice: "Let me out, go out ......"

Suddenly, the eternal black wall suddenly disappeared, and he was suddenly in a restaurant, and the sunlight poured in through the window next to him, and outside the window was an endless snowfield......

All of a sudden, Dr. Zhang was stunned, randomly, the muscles on his face twitched, and he suddenly howled and cried, and the whole person curled up and lay on the ground, crying and sobbing.

……

This, what's the situation?

Li Jie looked at this scene in amazement, watching this cultural person who was quite personable last time become this virtue!

"I'll go, I'll ...... I haven't done much yet, how can I ......?"

Li Jie didn't know that he locked them in the game, was it so terrifying?

"Ahem, that, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhang?" Li Jie coughed dryly and greeted Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head suddenly, and after seeing that it was Li Jie, he flew and crawled close to Li Jie, trembling and pleading: "Major General Li, Major General Li, I beg you, if you have anything, you can arrange it at any time, I will listen to you, don't put me in, please, don't put me in!" ”

"Forehead ......"

"Ahem, it depends on your performance, do you know English?"

"Understood, understood, understood!" Dr. Zhang nodded again and again, lest Li Jie not believe it, and a mouthful of English Baribala came out.

"Okay, okay, wait!" Li Jie interrupted him, took out the English satellite phone manual, and handed it to Dr. Zhang: "This, see it, tell me how to use this phone." ”

"Good, good!" Dr. Zhang nodded busily, lest Li Jie would include him in the game.

Looking at Dr. Zhang's sincere and frightened appearance, Li Jie's psychology is somewhat unpleasant, this expert who originally belonged to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, before the end, I am afraid that he will not look at himself, but now, he is ......

If you think about it, he was kidnapped almost one after the other, but he was awake and he was unconscious.

Judging from the previous situation, he didn't even know where he was, just because of the safety of his family, he was trapped underground for 2 and a half years......

"Alas......" sighed, Li Jie stood up and was about to go to the kitchen, but Li Jie's sudden rise made Dr. Zhang, who was reading the manual on the table next to him, tremble.

Noticing this, Li Jie smiled bitterly, walked to the position of the kitchen bar, took a glass, and waved his hand, a bucket of milk appeared, poured a glass of milk, and got a piece of steak from the game, and then took the cup of milk and steak and put it next to Dr. Zhang: "It's okay, eat first, and watch slowly after eating." ”

"Yes, yes!" Dr. Zhang looked at Li Jie gratefully, and then suddenly felt that he was really thirsty and hungry, and he could almost faint in the next second.

Silently watching Dr. Zhang gobble up, Li Jie thought in his mind, he probably didn't know about the nuclear war, and he didn't even know that this was really Antarctica, and he would ...... for a while.

Didn't bother Dr. Zhang, Li Jie silently cleaned up the kitchen, here is the same as outside, it was turned into a mess, since he decided to stay here for the time being, clean up, and see what to eat and drink, especially condiments, after all, always eat things in the game, Li Jie is also a little tired.

Half an hour later.

Li ...... Major General Li, I'm done! ”

"Oh? Okay, come on, come on, study and study together. ”

"This phone, more advanced, should be the latest foreign brand, you can search for communication satellites in many countries, as long as you register their company's account, you can use the satellites of many countries to call, the cost is paid by their company in advance, and then pay at the end of the month, they earn service fees, and, in an emergency, you can use the satellite to send SOS distress signals for free to obtain the communication password...... It's a global satellite phone, it's versatile, and it's ......"

Dr. Zhang explained, and finally, concluded: "Anyway, just like satellite TV, you can search for many satellites, so you have a lot of choice." ”

Oh! Li Jie suddenly, although he didn't understand it too well, he also roughly understood the function of this mobile phone, and he didn't have some admiration, it was really easy to use.

You know, there were satellite phones in China before, and the civilian version was also launched for several years, however, these phones are the same as the early mobile phone operators, and the satellite phones launched by various communication companies are completely incompatible with other satellites, and they can only use their own satellites, so the geographical restrictions are extremely great.

And this thing is different, guaranteed by this Bald Eagle's communication company, which calls first. This can access satellites in many countries around the world at a critical moment, although the cost is a little more expensive (in fact, it is nearly 10 times more expensive), but it is better than a wide range!

"That means I can use this phone right now to search for satellite signals, and as long as there is a signal, I can talk first, does that mean?"

"Uh, yes!"

"So what are you waiting for, hurry!!" Li Jie didn't say a word, threw a few spices in his hand aside, and went to get the phone that was set aside!

The phone turned on, and Li Jie handed the phone to Dr. Zhang: "Now, we are in Antarctica, and we have to find a way to return to China." ”

"Antarctica!?" Dr. Zhang was stunned, then subconsciously took the phone and began to operate according to the instructions.

Antarctica, too, has satellites, and China's telecommunications department has launched special communication satellites to ensure communication and data transmission in Antarctica.

However, with Professor Zhang's operation, his eyes were full of incredulity, and finally, after 5 minutes, Professor Zhang swallowed his saliva and looked up at Li Jie, his eyes full of horror: "No... No satellite signal found! ”

"Huh? Is the signal bad? Let's go put this antenna up outside, maybe it will be better. Li Jie was stunned for a moment, remembered that there was an antenna in the box, and hurriedly said.

However, after the antenna was erected, the phone still could not find a signal, as if there were no satellites in the sky at all!

"This, this can't be!" The incredulous Professor Zhang was afraid that Li Jie would think that he was a ghost, and nervously tried repeatedly, however, the result was consistent, there was no half of the signal, and he could not connect to any of the satellites.

"Impossible! No way! Why don't there be a single satellite, what about ours? What about polar bears' satellites? What about Bald Eagle's satellites? How can it be!? ”

Seeing Dr. Zhang's unbelievable horror, Li Jie had a very bad guess and association in his mind - nuclear war......

Nuclear warfare...... Judging from the current world situation, this almost means a full-scale war, and once it reaches that level of war, shooting down all non-own satellites over your own country is almost an inevitable move! Because no one knows what is hidden in an ordinary civil communication satellite!

Shaking his head and driving this terrible thought out of his mind, Li Jie didn't dare to imagine it, he just hoped that all this was just his own imagination.

"This ...... Do you think there's anything else you can help me with? Seeing that Li Jie didn't speak, Professor Zhang next to him looked nervous.

Looking at him, Li Jie was a little hesitant, to put it bluntly, he was actually a victim, logically speaking, he could be let go, however, now he can't contact the outside world, and the mysterious organization that had imprisoned and studied him for 2 and a half years was still lurking in the shadows, and the most important thing is that this Professor Zhang's family is likely to be in the hands of the other party!

Then, once the other party secretly uses his family as a bargaining chip to control Dr. Zhang again without his knowledge, this will bring great hidden dangers to himself!
