The aurora is like a colorful wind, flowing slowly in the sky, bringing a faint glow to the long night.

Even though it was noon, the sky and the earth were still pitch black, as if they had fallen into a rift in time and space, and there was no way out.

In the distance, a car came from the snow, its body was hard and straight, and its whole body was dark red, and the tires were replaced with special snow tires, which gradually revealed their huge form as they approached.

The Paramount Predator, an all-terrain off-road vehicle that can also be purchased by ordinary people, is designed by the South African military-industrial enterprise Paramount according to the standards of modern warfare, weighs fifteen tons, can carry up to ten people, whether it is in a hot weather of 55 degrees or a cold of minus 32 degrees, the climate control system will keep people at room temperature in the car.

It has to be said that even in the extreme cold, the six-cylinder turbodiesel engine of this armored car is still full of power and almost irresistible.

At this moment, hundreds of meters ahead of the Marauder, there were eight Arctic Cat snowmobiles leading the way, surrounding Paramount like stars and moons, and the bright headlights were intertwined, eliminating all possible terrain obstacles ahead.

By this time, the convoy had entered the heart of Victoria, a no-man's-land area that was even more dangerous than the desert, and in the event of a lack of supplies, the temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius was enough to freeze anyone who was lost into ice.

"Your Excellency, the helicopter has sent a radio." Ba Song walked to Zhang Yaoyang in the car and asked in a low voice in Chinese, "The helicopter team has arrived at the No. 2 scheduled supply point, and the next stop is Markham Mountain, and they asked if they needed to wait for us." ”

Because only one backward Dolphin helicopter could be rented at McMurdo Station, a small helicopter that could only carry four people and also include a pilot, Zhang Yaoyang simply let three technicians, who belonged to engineers from Black Watch, come with him to determine where to install the air purifier.

Now, Zhang Yaoyang's team consists of only Ba Song and fifteen B· W· T members, as well as a female guide named Maria.

"Where have we been?" Zhang Yaoyang did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically.

"We've been walking along the Transantarctic Mountains, we've already crossed the Ross Ice Shelf, but it's polar night, and we're only halfway through the trip, and at this rate, we'll probably be there tomorrow."

"Then let them leave their supplies behind and go first." Zhang Yaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Tell them that they can choose the location of the air purifier first, and we will go there by ourselves." ”

Fifteen B· W· The T members were divided into two groups, one group drove a snowmobile and the other group rested on the buggy, and the two sides took turns moving forward.

Another hour passed, and Zhang Yaoyang felt that the time was almost up, so he gave the order to rest.

"Ba Song, pass it on, let the second group find a leeward place, where we will spend the night."

"Yes."

The convoy slowly came to a halt behind a hill, and the crowd began to set up camp after a busy day. W· The members of the T skillfully set up their tents, and bonfires rose over the dark wilderness, illuminating the dark and empty polar night.

Zhang Yaoyang took a cup of hot water, walked down from the warm car, and walked around the camp, after a bumpy day, his body was about to fall apart.

Until he reached the edge of the camp, Zhang Yaoyang suddenly looked at the starry sky above his head, revealing a look of appreciation.

Unlike the starry sky in his memory, the night sky would have become so bright on a continent that had barely been touched by humans without the pollution of the city.

For the first time, the Milky Way seems so clear, like a long river across the sky, in which the stars continue to disappear, no wonder Cao Cao in ancient times would make "the sun and the moon travel, if out of it, the stars are brilliant, if out of it" verse.

It was simply an indescribable magnificence.

Zhang Yaoyang took a deep breath and observed nature, which was also his attempt to find an increase in the SAN value, and now seeing the never-before-seen starry sky, although it seemed to have no effect on the SAN value, it also made him feel refreshed.

Of course, it would be better if there was no cold wind like a knife.

However, it seemed that something was alarmed by the noise of the crowd, and in the darkness not far away, there was a sudden rattling sound.

"Listen, what's there?"

The moment they heard the sound, everyone stood up vigilantly, and the atmosphere instantly dropped, startling Maria, who was roasting the fire.

"That's the voice of the king penguin, and it's the breeding season for the king penguin."

Maria hurriedly explained, she didn't think about it, took out her flashlight, and shone it towards the source of the sound, only to see that less than a hundred meters away from everyone, a large group of penguins was gathering in the leeward place, forming a large black oppressive area.

Only then did the crowd let their guard down.

Zhang Yaoyang's eyes flashed with interest, and slowly walked to the group of penguins, in the night, the emperor penguins with a height of one meter hugged tightly together, hugging together for warmth, Zhang Yaoyang even saw some newborn penguins that were born not long ago, and the fetal hair had not yet fallen off.

These little furry creatures covered in white ice flowers snuggled up to each other in the cold wind, huddled tightly into a ball of fur, and changed positions from time to time to keep each companion warm.

Penguins are indeed very cute, this is a harmless creature to humans, and because they are isolated from the world all year round, they are not afraid of people, seeing Zhang Yaoyang coming, there are a few bold little penguins broke away from the team and ran to Zhang Yaoyang's feet to spread joy.

Zhang Yaoyang rarely showed a smile, he squatted down, gently put the water cup on the ground, and stretched out his hand to touch it.

I have to say that although these penguins are very cute, the smell on their bodies is particularly unpleasant, with a fishy smell, like dead fish that have been left out for a long time.

drove the little guy around him back, Zhang Yaoyang stood up, but as soon as he took a step, a sudden flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, as if the TV screen was flooded with snowflakes, and immediately disappeared!

Zhang Yaoyang paused.

"Your Excellency, Commander?" Ba Song on the side immediately asked.

"Do you feel something?" Zhang Yaoyang frowned and suddenly said loudly.

"What?" Ba Song looked around inexplicably, but there was nothing but emptiness and darkness.

"Maybe it's my delusion......"

Zhang Yaoyang shook his head and took another step.

Hiss......

However, just as he was taking a step, there was a flower in front of his eyes again, and countless snowflakes flashed in front of him.

Zhang Yaoyang's footsteps completely stopped, he squinted his eyes, turned his head to look at a certain place in the distance, a palpitation kept coming, in his intuition, in that direction, there seemed to be something terrible......

"Quack!"

Suddenly, I don't know which penguin let out a startling cry, and in the quiet of the night, the sound was particularly harsh.

The call seemed to have a special contagious effect, and in an instant, the surrounding penguins responded quickly, as if it were some kind of alarm, and this disturbing call began to spread extremely quickly among the penguin colony!

In the end, the entire penguin colony let out an earth-shattering scream, quickly woke up from the sweet dream, and ran away in the opposite direction of Zhang Yaoyang's sense!

In just a dozen seconds, this group of penguins disappeared into the vast night.

Everyone was aware of this scene.

Boom!

An inaudible crash sounded from afar, as if something huge was hammering the earth, and if it weren't for Zhang Yaoyang's careful thinking, I am afraid that he would have directly ignored the past.

Zhang Yaoyang glanced at the paper cup on the ground slightly, but only saw that the water in the paper cup trembled slightly when the voice came, and there were slight ripples.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire, put out the fire, and everyone is quiet." Without thinking about it, Zhang Yaoyang immediately gave an order in the headset.

Almost without any hesitation, everyone quickly stopped all the activities in their hands, and as the fires were extinguished, the entire camp seemed to disappear in an instant, and silence spread.

Boom!

There was another dull crash, and this time, it was a little clearer than before, and everyone noticed it.

Zhang Yaoyang took a deep breath and stared into the unknown distance, in the deep hellish polar night, as if there was some indescribable thing, slowly approaching him......
