Chapter 474: The Eve of the Crisis (1)

"Huhuhu......"

The cold wind howled outside the glass window, and the rolling wind swept endless snowflakes to cover half of the sky, making people's sight cut off within seven or eight meters, and further away, only a white snow scene could be seen.

In such bad weather conditions, it is absolutely unsuitable for travel, both in terms of visibility and road conditions, which can be said to be extremely dangerous.

However, the convoy loaded with hundreds of people set off an hour ago, about to go to the research station to board the icebreaker there.

The second group of people is still being prepared, and when the convoy returns again, they can set off for the scientific research station.

"Boss, the second group of people is almost ready, and they can leave at any time."

With a steaming cup of coffee, Chen Yang, who was sitting in a chair, turned around and found that Ryan was walking in through the open automatic door.

"Well, that's good."

Chen Yang shook his head, suddenly stood up with his coffee, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, stared at the wind and snow outside, and asked, "How is Zenobia?" ”

"She's already installed all the X-335s, so it shouldn't be too bad."

Chen Yang was still very relieved to do things, put down the coffee in his hand, returned to the holographic digital touch screen, and swiped his hand to bring up the map of the underground ruins in the past two months.

After two months of investigation, most of the underground ruins have been explored clearly, and a 3D effect map has been drawn using computer engineering software. Even if others have not been to this place in person, as long as they look at this holographic 3D map, they can have a general understanding of the terrain, so that nothing is not clear.

"There is only one passage for the three ruins...... Ryan, are you sure you've searched clearly, and there's only one way to get in and out? ”

This thing is very strict. Chen Yang's tone was also unprecedentedly strict.

"I want to ...... More than 200 people went down to search, and there should be no more places to miss. ”

Ryan shrugged: "We've even looked for every crevice...... Unless the second passage is below the abyss, there is absolutely no second passage. ”

“……”

Chen Yang was speechless, still hesitating in his mind.

"You go down first, I'll come back to you when I have something." Be careful, always be aware of the situation on the side of the lift. ”

"Yes, I understand."

When Ryan walked out, Chen Yang sighed slightly: "Screw chief, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Are you hesitating to blow up the lift?"

There is no unusual change in the right hand. But the sound transmitted by the bones of the guò still appeared in Chen Yang's ears as clearly as ever.

"That's right."

Chen Yang nodded and admitted: "The appearance of the fourth light film means that the fourth cube must be there." Since I have searched that place more than ten times before, but I have not found that light film, it means that it has only appeared recently...... I suspect it may have appeared a few days ago, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence that the expedition team had such a sudden accident and lost contact. ”

"If we blow up the passage now, we'll give up the fourth cube altogether, so I'm ......"

"Hostel. Haven't you learned how to overcome your overly strong desires? Hope? ”

The right hand said slowly: "The instinctive desire of the creatures. The hope is very strong. But only by learning to overcome your own desires that are too strong. Hope, don't let desire. Hope blinds yourself so that you can survive better and longer. ”

Chen Yang was taken aback, he really didn't expect that his right hand could still say such philosophical words, is he a human or is it a human being?

Chen Yang had already eaten enough of things like chicken soup for the soul, and the words of his right hand were actually warning Chen Yang. Don't be dizzy and blinded by interests, but look at the actual situation at the moment.

Those unknown creatures that continue to emerge from the light film are not impossible to deal with in Chen Yang's opinion, individual weapons are not enough, and there are various weapons with great power. He didn't believe that a single cloudburst bomb could destroy the unknown creature.

But the endless number is really terrifying, and the fourth cube that has not been found means that the light film cannot be turned off, so who can be sure that there will continue to be any terrifying unknown creatures.

In the first parallel world, the terrifying creatures guided by the inexplicable ORIGIN had an attack power comparable to that of a nuclear weapon in one blow, and almost killed Chen Yang at that time.

If there was another unknown creature like this in the fourth light film......

That's a lot of fun, and it's definitely a great disaster for humanity.

Is it to close the "gates of hell"? Or for the sake of the interests that have not yet arrived, thus indulging the entrance and exit passages of the "Gates of Hell"?

"I see, then you mean to say that there is no need to risk and blow up the entrance and exit channels immediately?"

“…… Idiot, I'm asking you to calmly observe the situation first, who made you blow up the entrance and exit passage without any risk? ”

Okay, he seems to have a bit of a misunderstanding of the meaning of the right-hand words, but it doesn't matter, at least his decision is exactly what Chen Yang meant.

……

……

After the first batch of people left, in such bad weather, it is expected that it will take more than six hours to reach the scientific research station, and it will be twelve hours later if the convoy returns to the base.

The plan is not as fast as the change, but there is no way, in Chen Yang's insistent order, everyone must implement it unconditionally.

Then there are still eleven hours, and it will basically not be until more than six o'clock in the morning the next day to see the returning convoy.

In the entire base, there are still more than 100 people left, most of them are researchers, a few are members of EMER's team, there are so many people, the chef must not leave, and he will continue to carefully prepare the dinner of the day for these more than 100 people.

Except for the people who went down today, most of the people didn't know the truth, although the evacuation order issued by Chen Yang was a bit abrupt, which made many people unable to understand, but the people sitting in the cafeteria eating things still held an optimistic spirit, put everything on the good side, and ate the chef's dinner with relish.

With the temperature of central air conditioning, the temperature in the restaurant and even the entire base is always maintained in a constant temperature state, which is very suitable for human life. So walking in the base, watching people coming and going wearing short sleeves or shirts, basically don't be surprised, this is the most common wear in the base, only when you need to go out to run errands, you need to wear that heavy set of clothes, only in the house, even naked. There is no problem with the naked whole body...... As long as you are not afraid of being sent to a psychiatrist's ward.

After eating the French meal specially prepared by the French chef for Chen Yang - I have to say that being able to eat an authentic French meal in a place like Antarctica once again proves the importance of money in this world.

Chen Yang put down the tableware, gave an order, added a few pieces of clothing, and walked out with No. 6 and No. 7.

As soon as the door was opened, the howling cold wind mixed with the thick snow rushed towards them, and immediately blew people almost unable to open their eyes, and they were blown by the fierce cold wind on their cheeks, as if a knife had cut through the delicate skin, and the unbearable pain almost made people unable to muster up the courage to step out of the warm and moist base.

Fortunately, Chen Yang and No. 6 and No. 7, who were holding weapons behind him, were not afraid of this bit of wind and snow, and he was able to endure the low temperature of more than 60 degrees, and this cold wind was blowing on his face, and he did not have the urge to retreat.

Facing the storm and snow, he walked out along the road opened up outside the base to the lifting passage, and the face recognition system scanned and identified Chen Yang, automatically opened the door, and let Chen Yang and others walk in.

"Sir."

Guarding the elevator were four members of the Alpha Team, heavily armed and vigilant, keeping an eye on the elevator and the passage below.

"How's it going, has the cable down there been repaired?"

"The maintenance team has already gone down, saying that it will be done in half an hour."

Chen Yang stopped in front of the lift, patted the iron railing, and said, "Let the people below pay attention, and if you find something wrong, return immediately." ”

"Yes."

After inspecting the situation, he found that Yiqiē was quite good, and just as Chen Yang was about to go back, he suddenly frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.

"I'll go down, and you stay here."

Without letting No. 6 and No. 7 follow, Chen Yang walked into the elevator, pressed the button, and let the elevator whine and settle down abruptly.

The 900-meter tunnel took a few minutes, and when Chen Yang went down, he happened to see the maintenance team repairing the damaged cables and surveillance cameras.

Without interfering with the work of the maintenance team, Chen Yang hurried forward and went deep into the tunnel, stopping at the fork in the road.

"It's better to be careful."

Muttering in a low voice, Chen Yang chose the tunnel in the middle to walk.

After a while, there was a faint sound of vibration throughout the tunnel, as if something had happened in the depths.

"There's one more."

In the dark tunnel, Chen Yang, who had only been in for a short time, suddenly appeared and entered the leftmost tunnel again.

Yes, although he destroyed the passage on the right and cut off the entrance and exit between the ruins and this side, the other two ruins were still in good condition. Although there is no evidence that there is still a connecting passage between the three ruins, the cautious Chen Yang decided to destroy the stone bridge and the tunnel of about ten meters in the other two ruins.

This distance is not completely used to block those unknown creatures, and if it is really completely isolated, there is no more effective than directly destroying the lifting passage.

In the final analysis, Chen Yang still chose to leave a chance for the future, after all, a collapsed tunnel of more than ten meters is much easier than cleaning a passage of more than nine hundred meters. (To be continued......)
