After about 20 minutes on snowmobiles, the group arrived at a tent disguised as a research camp, where they changed into gray and white snow camouflage.

Under the leadership of the jigsaw, Zhang Luo, Frankenstein and others began to move towards the location of the Hermes.

Although he was in the icy and snowy Antarctica, after wearing a light winter jacket made by Frankenstein, coupled with special boots, gloves and goggles, Zhang Luo did not feel a trace of cold at this time.

After trekking through the snow for a few minutes until the snow on the ground began to decrease and the bare rocks were exposed, the old man waved his hand to the people behind him to stop:

"Here we are."

Prostrate on the hard rock, Zhang Luo and the others took out the mini telescope provided by Frankenstein, held the small cylinder in front of him, and looked at the ship in the distant sea.

-- The Hermes, with its white shell, was now anchored on the desolate coast, apparently at anchor.

From this point of view, it is impossible to see the specific situation on the hull, but the ship is indeed motionless, and it does not look like there are people at all.

"Isn't there a single living person left in it? If you can catch a survivor, you can find out what happened. Carremont sighed in frustration.

"It is true that no signs of life can be found, and the robots sent out only photographed corpses, but the automatic defense system installed on the ship is still working, and the automatic machine gun almost knocked out the reconnaissance robot." Jigsaw whispered.

Hearing this, Frankenstein frowned, and realized that things were not simple: "Something is wrong. ”

"It is true that if you open the defense system inside the ship when you are not under enemy attack, you may accidentally injure your own people." Zhang Luo agreed.

No matter how strong the Hermes's defense is, it is an experimental ship and not a battleship, and it is completely unreasonable to rashly open the ship's defense system when the submarine on the escort mission next to it does not detect the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo asked, "Everyone on the ship is of unknown cause?" Are there any people who died under automatic machine guns? ”

Hearing this, the jigsaw quickly shook his head: "I don't know, the deceased in the place where the robot can reach can't find out the cause of death, I originally planned to go into the control room to investigate, but the door is locked, and the machine gun fire outside is very fierce, the robot can't enter." ”

"Can little blood get in?" Frankenstein turned his head to look at the Bloody Mary beside him.

"No, I can't get in touch with strong electromagnetic waves, I'm going to die." Lori next to her immediately shook her head, and there was a rare look of fear on her pale little face.

-- UHF electromagnetic waves can kill ghosts.

Secretly jotting down the information he had just learned, Zhang Luo said to Frankenstein, "Why don't we sneak in?" ”

To find out what's going on in the boat, sneaking in is obviously the most effective way to do it, and if you don't hurry, the Navy SEALs and missiles are coming.

After his opinion, Frankenstein didn't think for a second before making a decision:

"Zhang Luo and I went in, Xiaoxue retreated, and the others stayed here, and I was notified if there was a situation."

“Yes－sir。” Carremont gave a standard military salute.

After scouting for a long time, it was determined that there were no creatures in the vicinity except for a few penguins. Zhang Luo and Frankenstein, "openly" from the nearby coast, boarded the lifeless Hermes.

Standing in front of the hatch embedded in the deck, Zhang Luo bent down and unscrewed the handle on the hatch, trying to lift the hatch, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the hatch did not move.

"Looks like it's stuck." He took a step back and watched the girl in white step forward.

"Leave it to me." Frankenstein jerked his right foot up and stomped it down.

"Bell!"

After a loud bang like a gong, the hatch was kicked down and slammed into the aisle inside the cabin, and immediately warm white steam floated out.

The two looked at each other, then jumped straight down into a narrow aisle.

The interior of the aisle is arranged in a similar way to that of a passenger ship, with several hatches on each side. Several men in blue overalls collapsed in the aisle, no longer showing signs of life.

Zhang Luo walked quickly to the nearest corpse, carefully turned over the corpse lying on the ground, and saw a gray face with a gentle expression. Just looking at the expression doesn't look like you're dead, it's more like you're asleep.

"Sure enough, I can't see the cause of death." Zhang Luo sighed.

Frankenstein scrutinized the other corpse next to him and shook his head as well.

From the state of the corpses, only one conclusion can be drawn: all of them died suddenly at the same moment, and lost consciousness very quickly, not fast enough to make them look terrified.

"What can cause this effect? Gas? Zhang Luo's tone was not sure.

Since there are too few clues at present, he can't come up with any serious reasoning, so he can only use the "guessing method" for the time being.

"Let's go over there."

Frankenstein said as he stood up and walked down the aisle.

I opened the doors on both sides and checked the cabin, and the corpses inside were also unclear about the cause of death, and it looked like something suddenly took their lives while they were resting normally.

"It's not poisonous gas, is it ......" Standing in a small cabin, Zhang Luo frowned thoughtfully:

-- If there is poisonous gas in this closed cabin, it is impossible to disappear completely. If it was really poison gas, then when I opened the door just now, I should have been poisoned. Since he is not showing any signs of discomfort at the moment, he has ruled out this possibility.

That being the case, that is to say-

"If the launcher of this weather weapon malfunctions and is fired at the ship, will it be possible to kill the entire ship in an instant?" Zhang Luo asked the girl in white beside him.

"Possibly, it's very unlikely." Frankenstein shook his head slightly in disagreement, and then succinctly commented: "Submarines." ”

"That's right, if the ship's launcher suddenly erupts, the submarine shouldn't be affected, after all, the electromagnetic waves are seriously attenuated in the water, but it's ......."

Speaking of this, Zhang Luo suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a weird smile:

"Have you thought about it? What if that submarine betrayed? ”

"No one dares to betray me." Frankenstein said seriously.

"Well, but the crew on the submarine is not loyal to you, and the possibility of their collective mutiny, cannot be ruled out at this time." Zhang Luo smiled: "After all, humans are sometimes much more insidious than monsters. ”

As they spoke, they suddenly heard the sound of high-velocity machine gun gunfire coming from the cabin in front of them.
