Chapter 77: A super-civilization base buried deep under the ice field
Obviously, these penguins must be infected, or they don't have the ability to pounce.
They have oval bodies and mouths like sharp cones, and if ordinary people are hit, they will definitely die or be disabled.
“”
Ning Qiu motioned for Brad and the others to step back, and then smashed his fist into the ice under his feet.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Ning Qiu, and then turned into pieces of broken ice.
The penguins were unsteady on their feet, and they all fell on their sides.
Pang Xiaobo knocked all the penguin corpses that flew in.
The danger of these penguin corpse beasts is not very strong, of course, this is for Ning Qiu and the others, if it were ordinary people like Brad, I am afraid that they would not be stabbed to death by these penguin corpse beasts in the mouth immediately.
"I originally thought that people and creatures in the polar regions should not be infected, but I didn't expect this zombie virus to be so terrifying." Brad said.
"Viruses are not afraid of the cold." Ning Qiu replied to him.
Moreover, depending on the temperature, the zombie virus will develop in different directions.
In a polar climate like this, there may be some ice-based zombies.
And Ning Qiu had encountered the corpse of fire devouring ants on Mount Fuji in the Wa Kingdom before, and fed them with devouring flames, which was quite terrifying.
Therefore, it is difficult for both high and low temperatures to completely kill the virus.
Since there were quite a few penguins in this group, Ning Qiu didn't plan to kill them all.
……
According to Braid's memory, there should have been a scientific research station nearby, but he couldn't remember exactly where.
Although they have theodolite in their hands, they can roughly know where they are at this time.
The compass at the South Pole will fail, because according to the magnetic field of the earth, the compass will guide at one end and point to the north.
However, you have the South Pole under your feet, so the compass is prone to failure, so in this kind of place, it is more correct to use a theodolite.
It didn't take long for Brad's men to get tired.
It's so windy and it's too cold, it's a crime.
"Is the front one a research station?" At this time, Pang Xiaobo pointed to the southwest direction and said.
Braid hurriedly took out the binoculars and said happily: "Yes, that's it, let's go." ”
Not long after, when everyone saw the scientific research station, they realized that the so-called scientific research station was actually a very large glacier armored vehicle.
"Some very low sites are like that, because they can move at any time, so they don't build specialized houses." Brad said.
After saying that, Brad just wanted to open the door of the armored car, but with a bang, the door opened, and a zombie pounced out of it.
The zombie's hands were already on Brad's shoulders, and he opened his mouth to bite him down on the throat.
Fortunately, Pang Xiaobo, who was on the side, reacted quickly, raised a foot and was kicked over.
Brad was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, almost incontinent.
"I already reminded you just now that viruses are not afraid of the cold." Ning Qiu said.
Fortunately, there was a false alarm, but even if Pang Xiaobo didn't make a move, Ning Qiu would make a move.
It's just an ordinary zombie, it's impossible to commit murder under their noses.
With this experience, Braid didn't dare to be the first to enter the scientific research station, so he asked Pang Xiaobo to open the way.
I saw that inside the scientific research station, there was a zombie, and Pang Xiaobo died with a twist of his head.
In addition to this, there were two corpses that had been eaten clean.
"Hey! It doesn't look like the situation is optimistic. Brad wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because we don't know much about the living environment in Antarctica, if we don't have an experienced guide, we probably won't be able to move an inch." Brad said.
After cleaning up the research station, they began to set up the laboratory.
There was heating in the research station, but even when the heating was turned on, they still felt cold.
Ning Qiu took the theodolite and Pang Xiaobo walked out of the scientific research station, they still only wore cedars, although it was indeed a little cold, but it was completely within the range of bearing.
"What are you doing with that?" Ning Qiu looked at the ice axe in Pang Xiaobo's hand.
"Maybe it can be used, but who knows if there will be strange writing here, with the wrong preparation."
Ning Qiu nodded, thinking that it was the same.
An ice axe is not an axe, but a snow tool that resembles a hoe.
The tip resembles a bird's beak and can be used to break ice.
There are no goals, no directions, just to see what's around you anyway.
As it turned out, this area is a large ice field, as if as far as the eye can see.
After walking for more than an hour, it was still an ice field, and it seemed that there was no progress at all.
So I walked for another hour, and I really felt bored, so I was ready to return.
However, at this time, Pang Xiaobo suddenly said "Huh", looked at a crack in the ice not far away, and said in surprise: "Brother Qiu, why is there a machine buried here?" ”
Ning Qiu walked over and looked at it, it really looked like a machine, but he didn't understand what it was.
"Let's dig it out, and maybe you'll find something." Ning Qiu said.
"Okay!" After Pang Xiaobo finished speaking, he raised his foot and stomped on it.
With a bang, the ice began to crack, but it wasn't deep.
The place where they were located was an ice field, and the ice beneath their feet was the most surface, but it was at least a kilometer thick.
So it's hard to smash the ice with one kick.
However, this did not bother them, and it was not long before a large cobweb crack appeared on the ice field.
As a result, they realized that the machine they found below was actually very far away from them, but the machine was covered with this layer of transparent ice, and they thought it was very close from the visual point of view.
The two jumped down one after another, shattering the surrounding ice.
"I'll go! What is this? Pang Xiaobo knocked on the ice axe, making a thumping sound.
If these previous expeditions and researchers knew about this, they would have to vomit blood in anger.
This is a world cultural heritage, why are you two just standing on it and knocking it with an ice axe?
This is like archaeology, no matter how small an ancient artifact is, it must be carefully excavated and must not be destroyed, even the slightest scratch is a crime.
If the safe excavation of cultural relics can no longer be guaranteed, the archaeological bureau would rather not develop them, but must also ensure the safety of cultural relics.
"Could this be what Brad is talking about, that super-civilized technology base?" Ning Qiu thought in his heart.
If so, then what they are standing on should be only the tip of the iceberg of the base.
"See if you can open it?" Ning Qiu said.
"Oh." As a result, Pang Xiaobo misunderstood what he meant, clenched his five fingers, and struck his feet in vain with a fist.
"Knock ......"
Since the place where they were was in a crack in the ice field, it was like a big horn at this time, but Pang Xiaobo punched down, and the sound almost broke the ears of the two.
"What the hell are you sick about? I'm asking you to see if there's an entrance to enter, and how you knocked it out with one punch. Ning Qiu said.
When I looked down, I saw a big black hole appear under my feet, and an even colder breath rose upwards.
"Is it really a base?" Pang Xiaobo was surprised.
"It looks like it wasn't built by humans, at least not before I've ever seen a mechanical device like it." Ning Qiu muttered.
Could it be that there are really aliens in this world?
He still felt a little incredulous, so he decided to go down and take a look.
