This underground ice vault is strictly a passage and a broken freezer with a door next to it, both of which are combined, both covered in frost crystals and ice cubes.

This is probably because the underground passage itself is not very dry, and there is groundwater seeping out, and over time it is frozen layer by layer, forming such a snow cave.

As Luo Buqin expected, the power control switch of the refrigeration equipment here has been completely destroyed, and it should be the hand of the people here when they evacuated.

But the original intention of the person who did it was definitely not to let this place be infinitely refrigerated, Luo Buqin carefully observed for a while, and found that it was possible that the magical liquid conduction caused the equipment line to connect, and finally the power supply was restored, and this began to continue refrigeration.

This is definitely a small probability event, and it should even be classified as an impossible event, but it just happened.

The main power supply lines that are connected to each other are frozen by layers of ice, and it can be seen that they should have been washed by the water flow and put on top of each other again, which is probably the reason why the water flow gradually turned into ice and the conduction did not stop.

In this way, if you come in before the ice has condensed, this place is definitely an Asura field, and if you accidentally touch a little liquid, you may be electrocuted.

With such thoughts, Luo Buqin suddenly wanted to check to see if there were any charred corpses that had been electrocuted to death nearby.

In contrast, Hao Dong's reaction was much more normal.

All he had left was to sigh now, lamenting that if he hadn't been to a big glacier, he wouldn't think that it was just a blank and very cold place.

The ice passage in front of them was an extension of the passage they had just come, indicating that they had officially entered the confines of this underground laboratory.

The passage is about two and a half meters high and no more than two meters wide, with a built-in light at the top.

In the past, the artificial hydropower station in the center of the lake was probably too expensive to destroy, so no one cared about it and it was kept forever. In the same way, the lighting here has always maintained the same condition as when the people left here.

The thickness of the ice layer should be several centimeters, and the lights inside are revealed, refracting light of different colors from different angles, which is quite a bit of the romantic feeling of ice sculpture.

This ice and snow passage as a whole looks crystal clear and shining, like a crystal passage.

But compared to the situation in the freezer, this crystal texture is a bit of a trivial.

The area of the ice storage is actually not large, it is about the same as the one that Hao Dong was locked up before, that is, it looks like a hundred square meters, and the height is only more than three meters and less than four meters.

But it seems that this place has been washed by a huge current, and from the top of the ice storehouse, there are ice ridges hanging from the bottom.

The longest of these ice ridges can be nearly one meter, and the short ones are twenty or thirty centimeters. Hanging overhead, it is like a sword of Damocles, waiting for the day of judgment.

The walls of the freezer were no longer visible, and they were all covered with thick hoarfrost. At the bottom of the corner, there were many snowdrift-like frozen blocks piled up by frost, and some of them seemed to be frozen in them.

The freezer could have been a small food freezer, but the shelves had been emptied of the shelves, and all that was left was rows of iron shelves covered in frost crystals.

Some of the shelves may have been tied together with ropes or chains, but now they are all ribbons of ice, also covered with tiny ice edges.

And in such a small space, the lighting is quite good.

Or rather, because it is full of ice, even if the lighting is only five minutes bright, it is also twelve minutes bright under the reflection of the ice.

Coupled with the fact that these ice should still be mixed with blood and water and some different colors dyed by unknown things, Hao Dong felt that his eyes were flashing a little, and he couldn't help but squint slightly.

Now these crystal clear things seem more and more colorful to the point of bizarreness, in the middle of it, because the air flow is not obvious, compared to the cold, it is easier to feel a strange sense of oppression.

It's as if these ice cubes contain life forms themselves underneath the ice that could break through the ice at any moment.

Hao Dong stood in front of the door of the ice library like this, he was a little stunned, and his mind seemed to be drawn away from another time and space.

After Luo Buqin observed the switch of the ice storage over there, he turned his head and noticed that Hao Dong was unusual, and immediately worried, and reached out to Hao Dong and shook it: "Hey, Xiaodong?" ”

Fortunately, Hao Dong was just a little unexpectedly powerful, and it wasn't that his brain was really frozen. As soon as Luo Buqin stretched out his hand, he immediately came back to his senses: "Huh? ”

Luo Buqin pointed to the ice lump under the base of the wall: "I think there are our next supplies." ”

They had a lot of grilled fish and dried shrimp before, but the weight that a few people could carry was limited, and after these days, they basically ate about the same.

Originally, they also had a foraging part in their plan, and now they came to such a place that was supposed to be a food store, so it was reasonable to need to search first.

However, Hao Dong hesitated: "Can you see what is there?" The ice is so thick, how do you thaw it? ”

Luo Buqin actually couldn't see what it was, but he also had an intuition, and he always felt that it seemed to be a little familiar, and it should be edible.

But the thick ice on top is really a problem, and I don't know if the heat of the alcohol stove is enough to thaw.

And they carry a limited amount of solid alcohol, and if he could, he didn't want to be used in such a place at all.

When they were hesitating, Bai Xing, who had not been seen since Hao Dong woke up, suddenly came out of nowhere, ran to the edge of the ice lump closest to them in two steps, and raised his hand to slap hard.

As he slapped his palm, the thick ice shell actually made a kerakala sound, centered on the position of the white star's palm, many fine radial spider patterns spread in all directions, and soon the entire shell cracked.

At this time, Luo Buqin was also surprised, and walked over and plunged his dagger into the crack with a sled, and the ice shell suddenly scattered into many pieces, much faster than heating and thawing.

Bai Xing quickly jumped back to Hao Dong's side, begging for praise with a look on his face. Hao Dong raised his hand and rubbed his head, and found that this little guy, who was originally only a little taller than his waist, seemed to have grown a little, but now it actually reached his chest.

After kneading the white star, he turned his gaze to see what was in the broken ice, and he was stunned at this look.

There were actually two intertwined animal carcasses, although they were still dropping ice slag, but the size and the long hair, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be the same breed as Shirahoshi.

"Snow Mountain Ape?"

Luo Buqin turned these two things over with great effort, but there was no way to separate them, so he could only make one of them face the sky on his back: "Well, it's also a modified variety, and it is estimated that there are human elements in the genes." ”

The skin on the face of this snow-capped ape was purple, its eyes were closed and its teeth were protruding, and it looked very hideous. But no matter how hideous it is, it can't hide its facial features, which are actually more human-like than apes.

In particular, the nose is very straight, very European. The skin on the face does not have that stratum corneum, and the non-hairy areas are very similar to human skin except for the strange color.

Luo Buqin looked at Hao Dong happily: "This end has to be about 100 kilograms, and the two ends are 200 kilograms, which is enough to support for a period of time." ”

After the initial shock, Hao Dong began to feel cold again. Originally, my brain was a little inactive, and I couldn't react for a while when I heard Luo Buqin's words: "Huh? ”

Luo Buqin patted the snow-capped ape with the side of the dagger: "It's all meat, it depends on Xiaodong, whether you dare to eat it." ”

Hao Dong confirmed that he heard it correctly this time, and he couldn't help but feel a spirit, and his voice suddenly became a little sharp: "Eat this?!" ”

Don't say that this thing has human genes, it can be considered half a human, even if it is an ordinary ape, it shouldn't be within the range of normal human diets!

All of a sudden, Hao Dong's eyes when he looked at Luo Buqin changed, he only knew that this guy was unreliable before, and sometimes he would make mistakes, but from now on, he found that this person probably really has the potential to be perverted.

Sure enough, seeing Hao Dong's unbelievable face, Luo Buqin suddenly laughed very informally:

"Xiaodong, you can't be scared, right? If you look around, that's probably all you can eat here. It should not be difficult to choose whether to starve to death or to eat. ”

Luo Buqin's words were right, with the efforts of Bai Xing, who volunteered to open the way for Hao Dong, soon all those ice mounds under the corner were split. It's either all ice or some broken equipment, or it's this snowy ape.

These poor fellows hugged each other in twos and threes, as if they were struggling to keep each other warm before they died.

Luo Buqin concluded: "These should be the coolies here at the beginning, and some people were evacuated from this road, and it was inconvenient to take them all out, so they were abandoned here, just like Wuzhile and them. ”

The people who left by this road were tantamount to taking the waterway, and the direction from which Hao Dong and the others came was diametrically opposite, and they left here with the help of the traffic that the underground river extended in all directions.

And these test subjects who were locked at the end of the passage were not civilized enough, and obviously didn't think about how to escape before the danger came, and the last one of them was hungry and cold, so they huddled under the wall and froze to death.

Or maybe they starved to death before they froze to death.

Thinking of this, Hao Dong simply had the urge to dig graves for them and bury them, and it was impossible to eat these snow-capped apes: "We are civilized people, how can we ......?"

"What can you?" Luo Buqin's expression suddenly became serious, "Do you think it's disgusting to eat them?" ”

Seeing that Hao Dong couldn't answer, Luo Buqin simply stood up and approached Hao Dong with a great sense of coercion:

"Do you think we should be compassionate to these human-looking creatures, even treating them the way we treat human victims?"

Hao Dong felt that this was indeed the case in his heart, but looking at Luo Buqin's expression, he knew that the other party must not think so, so he simply continued to hold back and not speak.

Luo Buqin's face did not change worse, but a hint of ridicule appeared, which was the first time Hao Dong had seen him since he knew him:

"Have you ever thought about it, we came all the way, those huge monsters in the water, they may also have human genes on their bodies, they may also be counted as half human. Just because they look completely different from people, you don't have to worry about what you eat. And now, you suddenly tell me that your compassion makes you feel that I can't bear to eat these snowy mountain apes? ”

Luo Buqin's momentum was too strong, and Hao Dong vaguely felt that it was not like that in his heart, but he was forced like this, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
