Chapter 4: Paranormal Phenomena
Thirty minutes ago, ten kilometers away from Yi San's location, three military trucks rumbled past. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe high beams are full of flying white sprites. The darkness that could not be seen swallowed up by the headlights was only a pillar of light. The wheels have rolled out half a foot of the slope, and the traces 100 meters behind have been re-covered with snow, and it is impossible to find the way back when they were unable to distinguish.
The car in front flashed its taillights a few times to signal the car behind to stop.
A heavily armed soldier got out of the car and walked through the snow towards the car in the middle.
A gray-haired black officer in the middle car rolled down the window and asked nonchalantly, "Whathappen?" ”
"Report, General, a moving star has been spotted in the sky ahead." The soldier saluted the black officer.
"UFO?" The black officer was surprised.
"No, it looks like a hot air balloon from its trajectory."
"What's so strange about this, there are so many commercial weather balloons all over the world." The black officer still said in a flat tone.
"It's in the air, it looks like it's just, it's just ...... Emissive. The soldier paused to consider whether the word launch was the right one.
"Hey, let's see what it is." The black officer raised interest.
It was a fighter in the front car who jumped out of the car excitedly and shouted: "It's them, it's their distress message." ”
The soldier in the car saw the SOS on the hot air balloon with a military telescope.
"I knew that these boys weren't that simple." A blonde, blue-eyed white female officer next to the black officer said.
“areyousure?” The black officer reconfirmed.
"Sure." The warrior said categorically.
"Looks like they're really in distress." The black man reverted to a nonchalant tone.
It turned out that John's parents found out that John's GPRS location information had disappeared three hours ago and called 911 to call the police.
The black officer at the Antarctic research station was temporarily ordered to come and carry out a humanitarian rescue. But I received a signal from the top of the military not to try too hard and to be a good order. The black officer, Zhangji, was confused and randomly dispatched three large trucks and set off.
"But our navigation systems are all down, how are we going to get there?" The white female officer next to her asked nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, this tundra is relatively flat, and I am familiar with this place." The soldier said.
"Alright, let's go." The black officer said.
"Yes." The soldier saluted and turned to get into the car.
"Wait." The white female officer stopped the soldier.
The soldier turned around in confusion.
"Fire a flare in that direction, and the car honks." The female officer instructed.
"Yes," the soldier returned.
The big truck started slowly in the darkness, and three signal flares were launched immediately, exploding in mid-air, and three white lights flashed, dazzling like three small suns in the air. The warrior believed that Yi San and they must have seen this signal.
"Louise, have you ever seen a day like this?" The black general looked at the mechanical watch in his hand at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then looked at the darkness outside the car, and said to the white female officer.
"I encountered it once during a mission in Egypt, but it was early in the morning, and it didn't last long." Louise said lightly, but her solemn expression made it seem that things were not so simple.
"Dark day, the clouds brought by the passage of the warm front? It's strange that the weather department didn't notify you, what a fucking bunch of intellectuals out there. Bureaucracy prevails, and if it is a battlefield, they will not be able to make up for it by losing a few heads. That's why I chose to come to this research station, away from the intrigue of officialdom. The black officer grumbled indignantly.
"Don't blame them, it's not the warm wind transiting. It's not really daylight. You're right, if it's a battlefield, a situation like this can really change the tide of the war. For example, on May 28, 585 A.D., when the soldiers of the Median kingdom and the five kingdoms of Lydia were at war in the valley of the two rivers, the sky suddenly became dark, and the day suddenly turned into night. The warring sides were terrified, thinking that "heaven" was to blame, so they immediately ceased fighting and reconciled. In fact, when you think about it, ignorance is not necessarily a bad thing. Louise said sadly.
"If this war were to be held today, it would only become more intense, because mankind thinks that it can control the time. They all see visions as opportunities and challenges. Louise paused, "Nature is the most wonderful and cruel thing. ”
"Looks like you know something." The black officer's black-gloved hand played with the bobble-bobbing carriage pendant of the car, seemingly casually.
"Knowing what, man is a greedy animal, he will not be satisfied with everything he has, and if he knows one thing, he must know two things, and try to understand everything." Louise watched the snow fall more and more outside the car window.
Isn't this the driving force and source of human progress? The ultimate task of mankind is to never stop seeking knowledge and exploration. The black officer said.
"Mankind has given up a lot of eternal things in pursuit of eternity. And for the sake of profit, it inspires more conflicts of interest, as everyone knows, human beings destroy themselves when they destroy all things to achieve themselves. A subtle sadness appeared in Louise's eyes.
"Then it's clear that this incident is not daylight." The black officer said.
"Yes, the same thing happened once in 1994 in China's Liaoning province. The fact that the deeds could not be destroyed due to the large number of eyewitnesses caused a stir in the present world. Louise said.
"Then it's a paranormal phenomenon." The black officer felt that this Louise was not simple.
"For now, yes." Louise was not shy about it.
"For now?" The black officer was surprised, this female officer who had just arrived at the Antarctic research station to report was too unpredictable. This strengthened the minds of the black officers.
"Yes. There is already someone who can explain this natural phenomenon, and he is still in middle school. However, it would be twenty-three years before he could come up with a prototype of the theory, and he had to suffer a major car accident during that time. Louise frowned.
The black officer slammed the brakes, and the wheels skidded and threw out two curved wheel marks. The car behind was caught off guard and crashed into the car Louise was sitting in. There was a thud. The vehicle in front of it braked sharply when seen in the rearview mirror, and the wheels slid forward several meters away. The taillights are lit up.
In the flashing taillights, the black officer's black gloves hold a revolver and point it at Louise.
The high beams shine on the snow, which is very dazzling. A flickering red light traveled across Louise's delicate face, and Louise's expression was not visible.
"Who are you?" The black officer asked faintly.
Sure enough, human beings are always afraid of things they don't understand, and what they subconsciously think of is annihilation. It is not permissible that there is something that threatens them. Louise smiled helplessly.
"Who are you?" The black officers were unmoved.
“iamsorry,bob。” Louise said regretfully.
Before Bob could react, the truck slammed and tilted rapidly to the left. Immediately, with a bang, a large crack opened in the ground, and a car in front of her fell rapidly, Louise slowly unbuckled her seat belt, calmly opened the door, and looked at Bob who was still in shock with regret, first leaned back, kicked the body, ejected, and in the darkness her left hand casually took it, and landed firmly on a rock tip hidden in the thick snow.
Just as Louise leaned back, a bullet flew between Louise's eyebrows, and a strand of golden hair fell into the bottomless crack as the truck and Bob fell.
Bob's eyes were filled with shock and panic, and he tried to grasp something in vain with both hands until the truck disappeared into the bottomless cracks.
Louise slowly climbed up, and just as she had just climbed up, the rock rumbled into the abyss.
The soldiers in the car behind rushed up in a panic. Look at Bob's truck as it falls.
Bang, the truck hit a hard object and spun 180 degrees and fell into the bottomless crack.
The flickering high beams shone on the cliff walls of the fault rock, and a silver light reflected off it, plunging it into extreme darkness.
Louise calmly looked at the abyss, patted the snowflakes on her body, and turned to walk towards the third truck. Leaving two stunned soldiers.
The two soldiers hadn't reacted to what had happened, waiting for them to react. Louise was already in the passenger seat of the third car.
"This? This female officer is too calm, isn't she? The two soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and both read the conclusion from each other's eyes.
"Was that a gunshot? What the hell is going on? One soldier asked.
“idon’tknow。” Another soldier replied.
"The silver light reflected just now, the metallic luster? What's underneath? A soldier asked.
"How do I know, maybe it's a German submarine or a secret weapon during World War II, maybe it's a natural metal in the fault, let's get out of here." Another soldier said.
“eon。 let’sgo。 Louise said to the two soldiers.
"Yes, sir." They said in unison.
"Let's go back and report to HQ about the situation here." Louise ordered.
"What about the rescue mission?" A soldier asked.
"Mission terminated." Louise said.
"Yes."
The truck started its engine, retreated a few meters, made a turn, and disappeared into the snowstorm with a bump.
In the distance, the white star-like moving points of light of rice grains swayed up and down, and then suspended at a height, moving horizontally with the air current. In the rearview mirror of the co-pilot of the big truck, Louise just felt the stars twinkle for a moment, and Louise showed some bitter but hopeful eyes.
This rice-grain-white "star" is a hot air balloon made by Yi San.
At this time, Yi San and the others were in a ball, their hands around their knees and toes facing a flat-bottomed stainless steel pot. The pale blue flames on the pot burned silently, and the snow next to the pot melted and seeped into the permafrost beneath the dark green moss.
"The last solid piece of alcohol is gone. Are you going to burn your clothes next? Nick said weakly.
"What's the clicker in the distance? How disappeared. John replied no.
"It should be the iceberg that has broken." Ahn Hee-hyun said as he stared at the hot air balloon that was still floating.
"Does it affect us?" Kara said with her back heaving and criing.
"It doesn't matter anymore, and there's no shortage of this one." Nick was close to collapse.
"If the permafrost under our feet is connected to the continental plates, then it's fine. If only this is an island floating on the surface of the ice. That's hard to say. Yi San's tone did not fluctuate at all.
"If the broken iceberg is big enough," Yi San said halfway through.
"What will happen?" John asked nervously.
"The layers under our feet will be torn apart and fall into the icy waters. With our constitution, we can survive less than 30 minutes before we go into shock and drown due to hypothermia, even if you know how to swim. If we don't fall in, we'll be blown into the Pacific Ocean with ocean currents. If we don't get rescued within 48 hours, our bodies could be found by a whaling ship. Yi San's eyes were also full of despair.
Yi San stared at the flickering hot air balloon, looking at the aurora that had only a few straight lines left, and suddenly thought of something.
Excitedly shouted, "Wait." ”
Everyone looked up at Yi San, their eyes full of hope.
