Chapter 127: The Walker of the Ice Field

"Looks like I need more detailed information, and besides, something should be settled..."

Throwing the two coins aside, Dong Xuan raised his head thoughtfully.

In front of him were five of his subordinates who had been standing quietly for more than ten minutes.

There are three men and two women, and they are the people in charge of all kinds of affairs in this advance force, except for the system separated from Helen.

Basically, these people are each in charge of a team of forty or fifty people, and in this small base, it can be regarded as an existence above 10,000 people under one person.

However, although they are undoubtedly the elites selected by countless miles, otherwise Helen, an artificial intelligence who will not have any favoritism at all, would not recommend them to Dong Xuan, but there is obviously still a certain gap between these people.

For example, at a glance, the most conspicuous among these five people is a woman who is obviously at a distance from the others and looks extremely arrogant.

She has splendid blonde hair, a beautiful appearance like a mixed-race, with the soft facial features and delicate skin of an Oriental woman, and the tall figure and fair color of a Westerner.

Standing there quietly and silently, it is like an angel who has fallen into the mortal world, which makes people almost can't help but feel excited.

In comparison, compared to several other people, whether it is temperament or spiritual aura, they are not at the same level at all.

Here's where things get weird, though.

It was obviously such a beautiful woman, but the other four occasionally glanced at her beautiful face with an unusually obvious fear and disgust, as if this woman was something that made them feel unusually disgusted.

Obviously, Dong Xuan, who had been looking at these people for a long time with his mental power, had already discovered this situation.

But in this regard, he could only sigh silently in his heart helplessly.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work?"

There is a famous saying in human beings, which is called: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different

Perhaps it is a genetic instinct that the human race is actually extremely xenophobic in its bones.

Whether it's the fantasy of an alien invasion, the warning of a cyborg rebellion, or the fear of clones, there is actually this subconscious rejection of aliens at work.

And this time, the trouble lies in this point.

Those four relatively ordinary guys were arcane beings transformed into earth's native humans, and this seemingly perfect woman was the current supreme commander of the artificial soldiers under Dong Xuan's command!

It can be said that because of the difference in life forms, there is an inevitable hostility between the two completely different races.

Or rather, the unilateral innate resistance of some arcane humans to the alien form of artificial soldiers.

After all, the artificial soldier is essentially just a special weapon of war, and there will not be any additional unwanted emotions, so this kind of confrontation is actually the one-sided confrontation of the original human beings against these artificial "fakes", and this is also something that Dong Xuan has been having a headache recently.

He knew very well in his heart that for the team that had been far away from his homeland, the deadliest thing would never be the external enemy, bad weather or anything like that.

It's a disagreement between insiders themselves.

To put it simply, you are not afraid of god-like enemies, but you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Although these arcane humans would not really dare to do anything to harm the interests of the entire base under his coercion, that inevitable psychological factor still led to many problems that could have been avoided.

Even if he tried his best, today's temptation still got such an extremely disappointing answer.

"So, that's all there is to it"

Confirming that his last attempt still didn't seem to have the slightest effect, Dong Xuan took a deep breath and finally made a certain decision in his heart

-- (The above is the rest of yesterday)―――――

The clear sky was cloudless, and in the face of the howling wind, a line of silent figures quietly sneaked in a snowy white.

If someone saw this scene at this moment, they would definitely be shocked, because on this extremely cold plateau, which is almost a forbidden area for life, the clothes of these walkers are unexpectedly thin!

They were uniformly dressed in a wide plain white hooded cape, with a huge hood covering their entire faces.

And through the scene of the cloak being stirred up by the wind from time to time, it can be vaguely seen that these people are wearing a very delicate metal armor, even with a little cutout pattern.

The cold silver-white armor reflected the brilliance of the sun overhead, but it seemed more and more chilly, and the thin metal texture made people look at it from a distance and have a feeling that the whole person is gradually frozen.

However, this is obviously nothing to these walkers whose steps have always been unusually firm and steady.

And, there's more to the strange stuff than that.

If you look closer, you will find that those snowflakes and ice particles flying in the strong wind bounce apart as if they had encountered an invisible barrier when they came to the vicinity of this pedestrian, and finally formed an almost oval vacuum area in the void.

It's as if there is a mysterious force silently guarding them

These figures walking in the forbidden area of life, except for Dong Xuan and his party, it is estimated that there are no other deadly guys.

"Fortunately, there are two arcane arts, the primary stance shield and the primary acclimatization, otherwise it would be a problem to get out"

Feeling the continuous flow of mana in his body, Dong Xuan glanced at the calm figure beside him, and he was suddenly glad that because of many considerations, he finally chose to bring these artificial soldiers who were relatively small in number, but their adaptability was extremely strong.

If you change to those arcane humans, and don't wrap them in protective clothing, it is estimated that if the temperature drops wildly again after encountering this kind of strong wind, you can basically declare the group wiped out.

"It's actually 50 degrees below zero! This plateau with an altitude that is obviously not very high can have such a strange temperature, if it weren't for the effect of those free energy, I would have eaten Helen!"

A gust of wind blew, and the icy chill through the stance shield suddenly made someone who was only a beginner adaptation to the environment, who could only resist the elementary arcane of low temperatures within minus thirty degrees, couldn't help but shiver.

I can only hope that he won't catch a cold because of this

Of course, Dong Xuan ran outside the base now, naturally not to find abuse in the extreme cold, but to leave this desolate area.

Because two days ago, the artificial soldier he had sent out to reconnoiter had finally brought what he needed - a living alien human.

Judging from his appearance alone, this guy is almost no different from those farmers in ancient Europe, except for his physique.

And after reading through memory, Dong Xuan found that this guy was really a farmer.

By the way, this guy occasionally worked part-time as a hunter on the edge of the nearby plateau because of food problems, and as a result, he was unlucky enough to bump into the hands of an artificial soldier who went out, which became someone's first step into the world.

For Dong Xuan, this is undoubtedly a great breakthrough.

Of course, Mr. Stepping Stone, who is now lying in the base analyzer as a guinea pig, will certainly not be proud of this

Although Dong Xuan didn't get much information from this farmer because of his humble background, some basic information was still available, and this made Dong Xuan finally make a decision:

――Find a way to infiltrate these alien human societies!
