Chapter 483: Mass Evacuation
"Whirring ......"
On the Antarctic continent, there is always no shortage of such strong winds above level 4, and people who can do scientific research here have long been accustomed to such winds, and they do not think it is unusual.
At Amundsen-Scott Station, people who are usually more leisurely are busy at the moment.
There are countless people who pack up equipment and data, organize observation data, and prepare their own belongings.
A large scientific research station capable of accommodating two hundred and fifty people, a few hours ago, I received a notice from above that everyone needed to evacuate immediately!
This is absolutely unconventional, common-sense, and unbelievable orders!
Before Dr. Munch, the person in charge of the scientific expedition station, had time to refute, he was reprimanded by the colonel officer: "This is an order of the federal government, and it must be carried out unconditionally!" You don't have a chance to negotiate! ”
"This won't work, I'm going to talk to ......"
Amunk's words ended silently in the middle of his sentence, and on the other side of the video conversation, the person standing suddenly changed, and it was actually Dr. Sperrick, a professor at the Federal National Laboratory and a member of the Scientific Committee.
The scientific community also has fame and position, and Dr. Sberrick is tantamount to having a much higher fame and power than Amunk, and those who can directly govern him must be much more useful when he speaks.
With just a few words, Dr. Sperwick could only suppress all his doubts and immediately arrange for all personnel to pack up their belongings and prepare to evacuate.
This sudden order made many people feel strange, there was no explanation, no appeasement, no reason, what is required is for everyone to carry it out unconditionally, and many scientific researchers are very dissatisfied in their hearts.
However, when I saw the ice and snow runway outside the research station, a Hercules transport plane broke through the clouds and slowly landed on the runway. Everyone's glasses widened.
More than one!
When the first transport plane flew to the end of the runway and turned around, another Hercules transport plane suddenly came. "Boom" began to glide on the runway, gradually slowing down.
Is this what the hell is going on?
Staring at a large number of heavily armed soldiers rushing out of the transport plane. Many people have realized that something is wrong.
This is so abnormal, why is so many soldiers sent here?
There were many people looking out of the runway through the windows, and many of them couldn't help but pause their actions to clean up, and watched curiously as the soldiers below walked over from the runway.
"Who is Dr. Armonk?"
With a large number of soldiers and all kinds of weapons and equipment coming off the transport plane...... The person who walked first was obviously the supreme commander of these people.
"I am."
Seeing the transport plane landing on the runway, Amunk came out with a few people.
"Dr. Armonk, I'm Colonel Nutrilite. In charge of your evacuation operation, are you ready? ”
Without holding Amonk's outstretched hand, Nutrilite didn't seem to look at Amunk and the others very seriously, and his tone was extremely cold.
"Please give me a little more time...... "Amunk cursed in his heart, but he could only say that.
"Five minutes, five more minutes."
Nutrilite looked down at her watch, then looked up and gave a time limit.
"Five minutes? It's impossible, you have no idea how many devices and data you still have to sort ......"
Amunk was stunned for a moment, and then immediately objected.
"And how much time do you need?"
"At least two hours ......"
"Impossible!"
Nutrilite vetoed Dr. Armonk's request and said solemnly: "This is an order from His Excellency the President." All personnel at the Antarctic research station must be evacuated immediately...... Sorry, Dr. Armonk, we don't have much time. There are more important tasks waiting for us, so I will only give you five minutes, don't pack any more belongings, and evacuate all personnel to the cabin immediately! ”
"You ......"
Amonk's face turned pale with anger in the face of the tough and ruthless officer, but he had been instructed by Dr. Sperrick before, and knew that even if he complained to the above, he would definitely not be able to change the established facts.
He could only reluctantly accept the order for five minutes, bowing his head and giving a few orders. Have the person next to you go back and tell everyone to stop wasting time sorting through data and packing things. All the personnel went downstairs to the transport plane on the runway.
Perhaps realizing that something was wrong with the situation, no one dared to object.
No matter how bold the person is. It is impossible to ignore the cold muzzles of the guns in the hands of the heavily armed soldiers.
Honestly come to the runway, and wait in line to sign on the plane.
"Bernie, are you all ready?"
Nutrilite saw that Amunk had no choice but to carry out her orders, and turned to look at a soldier behind her.
Compared with the rest of the soldiers, the man standing behind Colonel Nutrilite had no distinctive body and equipment, and all the soldiers were wearing skull masks that covered half of their faces, but this person was not only wearing a skull mask, but also wearing a pair of sunglasses on his eyes, completely covering his entire face.
It is impossible to see what he really looks like.
"It's done, no problem."
A slightly hoarse voice popped out of Bernie's mouth, calmly answering Colonel Nutrilite's question.
"That's good, you can bring someone in and check on it later, and see if everyone is evacuated. If anyone does not obey the command......"
The colonel's eyes were cold: "I will allow you to kill on the spot!" ”
"Yes."
Bernie replied with a simple "yes" and walked towards the research station building unit with a team.
After decades of construction and repair, the Amundsen-Scott research station is no longer the humble it used to be, and several relocations have been carried out, not only to build a regular ice and snow runway for large transport planes to land, but also to build a yellow-brown three-story building in the shape of a "mountain".
There are a total of eight building units!
It is one of the largest scientific research stations on the Antarctic continent!
A large number of researchers stay here all year round and undertake many scientific research tasks.
But now after the order from above, the evacuation, and when Bernie and the others walked in, the lonely aisles and laboratories showed that there were no more idlers waiting.
"Whoa...... Bernie, how's the check-up? ”
"Sir, there is no problem, all personnel have been evacuated."
Summing up the results of the rest of the personnel's examination, Bernie replied blandly.
"Well, we still have an hour and a half, the first batch of MUTO will arrive, this mission is special, so we don't need too many people to stay behind to complete the mission...... As long as the people I had scheduled earlier, everyone else would follow along. ”
"Hmm."
Hanging up the radio, Nutrilite's grim face finally revealed a hint of melancholy, staring at the edge of the continent below the skyline, taking a deep breath to hide the tension in his heart.
He had to be nervous.
Although as a veteran who has completed hundreds of missions, it stands to reason that there should be nothing in this world that can make him nervous, but in fact...... The enemies we need to face this time are not humans at all, but abnormal creatures of unknown origin!
With that terrifying body shape and strong attack, Nutrilite, who has watched the relevant reconnaissance video, also rarely has a sense of tension.
"It's really a game of death this time......"
As far as Nutrilite knows, a group of bombers and fighter jets had taken off five hours earlier near the military base on Guam, flying over the edge of Australia and directly approaching the Ross Ice Shelf, preparing for the first phase of close proximity to stop the rapid spread of Muto.
Although many people have expressed opposition to this, they believe that it is irrational to use force when they do not know who they are or who they are, and they do not know Muto.
However, many people kept their mouths shut when the photos were taken, the muto passing by the research station that was submerged in the unidentified biota, and the last call for help.
In just a dozen hours, several summer research stations in the United States, Russia, Australia, and Germany were destroyed before they had time to rescue, and according to the results of drone reconnaissance, no survivors were found, that is, not to mention whether these MUTO have the general wisdom and civilization of human beings, but it is clear that they are by no means friendly to human beings.
Coupled with the rising number, it soon exceeded the number of at least 100 million, and it has not stopped growing, and no matter how optimistic people are, they can't calm down at all.
It's terrifying, even if it's all rats or ants, it's enough to make people feel terrified, not to mention the monsters that are generally seven or eight meters long, like pythons, not to mention the hundreds of meters long land unknown large creatures.
If such a number goes to sea......
I don't know if these monsters will survive in the sea, but no one will dare to take this risk, if this number of muto succeeds in the sea and spreads to the whole world......
Who can afford a disaster of this magnitude?
The U.S. Third Fleet, which operates in the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to Antarctica in the south.
The 3rd Carrier Fleet Battle Group, consisting of a total of 10 task forces, quickly glides through the waves in a huge and majestic formation, and is expected to approach the edge of the Antarctic ice shelf just a few hours after Nutrilite arrives.
The Seventh Fleet has also set sail, including the rest of the Western Pacific region, the Indian Ocean region of the fleet cluster, is also approaching Antarctica.
Although China, the United States, and Russia have reached a consensus in a short period of time, the United States is the only military force capable of blocking the Antarctic continent at the first time.
China's navy is not weak, but it is not yet capable of gathering a large number of naval forces for an expedition in a short period of time.
As for the Russians, they are slow to react and outdated in their equipment, and they live in the north, and they cannot set sail for the South Pole in just a dozen hours.
It is the United States that can only grit its teeth first to carry out the task of early sniping and interdiction. (To be continued)
