José looked at the scene in front of him, swallowed hard, and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info took a low breath for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Damn, what's the situation?!"

Not far away is a vast desert with only rolling sand dunes and a few isolated pinnacles, and the yellow sand disappears into the blurred horizon.

A gust of wind passed, and some of the dust it carried up was still on Joseph's face, and he seemed to have lost his soul, unaware.

Jose's shock was justified, as he had just stepped out of the hatch and was standing on the deck of a huge icebreaker!

That's right, it's an Antarctic research ship!

As for Jose, he is twenty years old and a college student. Although the name his father gave him sounds a bit Western, he is indeed an authentic Z countryman.

José looks average, but his eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and he has a bit of a young temperament, and he belongs to the kind of boy who is more attractive. He is tall and thin, introverted on weekdays, and his circle of friends is not wide, just an ordinary low-pressure boy who is slightly sullen in a micro-house.

Jose's family is quite wealthy, and his parents run a multinational company and live abroad all the year round. And he doesn't like life abroad, so he has been living in his uncle's house in H City, China.

By chance, he saw this scientific expedition on an international scientific website, and some technical nerds, out of some interest, he submitted his resume.

Unexpectedly, after an almost rigorous selection by the organizers, he really succeeded in getting the qualification to participate.

After calming down the initial excitement and convincing his parents and uncle, Jose took advantage of the winter break to participate in the international expedition's Antarctic expedition.

Originally, the scientific expedition was carried out smoothly, because it was only an experiential scientific expedition project, so there were only more than 20 volunteers including him, and most of them were scientific expedition enthusiasts from all over the world.

José's English is not bad, and after more than a month, although everyone does not know everything, he gets along with them quite well.

Considering that these participants are non-professional personnel after all, the scientific expedition time is only a short period of more than a month, but there is a lot of time delayed in the middle of the trip.

However, after completing the scientific expedition for more than a month, on the way back to Australia, when passing through the southern Indian Ocean, it encountered a strong storm.

It stands to reason that there were few such big storms in the return season, but the crew did not panic too much, after all, they were all old people with rich sailing experience.

Although this research ship is only a small ship, it is enough to cope with such an extratropical storm.

Soon, however, the crew sensed that something was wrong.

They were surprised to find that none of the ship's instruments were functioning properly, as if they were under the influence of some kind of strong magnetic field.

At this time, someone tried to use a mobile phone to call for help, but they were shocked to find that all means of communication had failed, and even the positioning system connected by satellite could not work!

Hell, that's the most cutting-edge seven-star navigation system in country Z!

What is helpless is that in the ship that has lost its course, all the communication equipment is paralyzed, and even the old crew members are shocked.

All the volunteers were concentrated in relatively safe areas, but some of them were even slumped on the ground, crying or praying incessantly.

The rainstorm and thunder became more and more intense, and the wind and waves mixed with electric light, dyeing the entire sky in black and white. Finally, through the glass window, Joseph in the cabin saw a flash of lightning shining purple lightning, which slammed into the bow of the research ship......

Before José could react, he felt that the things in front of him instantly became blurry, and his eyes began to drift a little. Before he lost consciousness, there was only one thought left in his mind: "Purple lightning? I must be blinded......"

............

But now, when he woke up in a daze and found all this in front of him, he couldn't believe it: he was still sailing at sea before he fell unconscious, and after a storm, even people and boats ran into this desert where birds don't!

"Calm down!" Joseph took a deep breath, his first instinct was to check his situation. There was no shortage of belongings, except for a little headache when he just woke up, and there was no discomfort or abnormality in his body, so he relaxed a little, so he tried to find the other people in the boat.

After all, under the premise that this situation is unclear, it is the first thing to do to find everyone. No matter what, we have to find a way to bring everyone together.

However, what made him even more alarmed was that he searched from cabin to cabin, only to find that all the cabins were empty! lounge, wheelhouse, operation room...... Not a single figure!

...... Half an hour later, José finally sat down on the deck with a pale face. He remembered very clearly that the crew on board and the scientific expedition team totaled 76 people...... And now, it seems that the whole ship is left with itself!

He felt a little bitter in his mouth, and he couldn't help but panic: "Something is wrong...... How could I be the only one left, and everyone else went there?"

However, Jose still tried to calm down his ups and downs, because his parents were not around all the year round, and he was quite resolute, so he was usually calm and steady when encountering things, but this sudden change inevitably made him a little out of place.

After calming down, José began to think about what to do next.

Where is this? Hell, why is the research ship in this desert? Where did so many people go on board?

"There are no traces of fighting or gunfire on the ship, considering that there are many people on board, if it is a terrorist attack, it is impossible not to leave clues, and the possibility of being hijacked en masse should be basically ruled out. ”

He pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the wilderness outside the ship, he had already observed his surroundings just now, and it should be some part of the Gobi Desert inland.

"There were no footprints left in the stern and in the sand around the ship, perhaps because the people on board had left before the ship arrived. José shook his head again, "This possibility should not be large, or it may be that the wind and sand have covered the footprints after the people on the boat left." ”

Jose Ban frowned, if this is really the case, why didn't the people on the ship find out, at least they should check the number of people, and even if it is to find a way out, it won't be the whole ship going out en masse, right?

Thinking of this, José pondered for a moment and searched the ship again. Although he was very surprised in his heart, so many people, even if they disappeared collectively, they would definitely leave some clues.

Finally, after pondering for a while, José realized that something was wrong, he had only been paying attention to whether there was anyone in the cabin, and had forgotten to check the condition of the ship's hull.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the last clear image in his mind: the ...... Purple lightning!

José's heart moved, and with the approximate direction of the lightning striking the hull of the ship in his memory, he walked towards the top of the bow. Although he couldn't describe the strange feeling in his heart, he felt that the strange lightning seemed to have something to do with his disappearance.

When Joseph approached the bow of the ship, he found that there was indeed a large black hole in the deck not far away! it looked like it had been burned by flames, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were small bubbles on the edge of the big pit!

"It seems that this big crater should have been left by a lightning strike, although I don't know how high the temperature of the lightning is, but such a terrible destructive power is really terrifying......"

Qiao Se touched these alloy steel plates that had been cooled and deformed after being melted at high temperatures, and couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart, the diameter of this pitch-black hole was about a meter or so, and after the hard and thick steel deck was penetrated, some of the internal machines inside were naturally seriously damaged.

José shook his head, and was about to check on the other place, when suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance under the big hole, except for the charred black oxidized steel plates, burned and broken machine parts, there seemed to be something else!

Jose was about to stand up and examine it carefully, but a somewhat dazzling light flashed into his eyes.

"It's ...... What reflects the sun's rays?" José was stunned, even the sturdy alloy steel plate was scorched black by the lightning, and what could still reflect the light underneath?

Joseph's heart moved, he couldn't help leaning down, and touched his hands a few times, but unexpectedly he seemed to have touched some sharp broken iron, and there was a trace of pain in his hand, and when he took it back again, his fingertips had been cut out of a big hole, and a lot of blood had flowed at the moment.

At this time, even Joseph himself didn't notice that a few drops of blood from the injured finger in the panic happened to fall on that thing, and the blood quickly "penetrated" into it, and the surface of that thing suddenly flashed a faint blue light!

Of course, this strange light flashed and did not attract José's attention, after all, it was only a short moment......

When Jose looked down further, he could see that the reflective object was in the center of the cave, and he endured the pain, carefully reached down with his other hand, and sure enough, he touched a strange thing.

José picked it up, only to find that it was a small, oblate object, more than two fingers wide, with a metallic blue hue on the surface, but at the moment in his hand, it was a little hot!

"It's still hot...... What is this, some part of a machine in the hull?" was Joseph a little surprised, but soon dismissed the idea, for he found that there seemed to be some strange symbols on this strange thing?

José discovers that this "strange piece of iron" has some characters engraved on its surface, but he doesn't know what it means.

"If you don't mention the texture of this piece of iron, this thing looks like a piece of jade pendant......" Joseph couldn't help but touch the strange piece of iron he had picked up, thinking thoughtfully.

But now seemed to be the time to think about this, and after hastily treating the wound, José sighed helplessly, casually put the iron piece into his breast pocket, and then continued to carefully inspect the deck and rooms of the cabin, but the next search found nothing.

As it gets darker, José looks disappointedly at his phone, which has no signal: ever since he found out that he was trapped, he had been trying to get in touch with the outside world. There was no signal from the cell phone, and the equipment in the cabin that could be operated by itself was still not functioning properly.

As for the navigation system - Chaucé did not have the expertise to operate the Seven Stars navigation system.

The only thing that made him feel a little reassuring was that he had checked the pantry, and that there was plenty of fresh water and food, which should be enough to last a while.

This also deepened Jose's doubts: even if they did leave, it was impossible not to bring any fresh water and food, right? He knew very well that in such a desert, without any necessities for survival, the probability of getting out alive was almost zero!

The night in the desert is cold, but José is not worried in the cabin - the inner cabin of the research ship is specially treated to ensure the effect of the polar cold, not to mention the night temperature inland.

However, José still closed all the hatches tightly, and spent the night in the innermost lounge. It's not because of the low temperature, but because there is an inexplicable vigilance about this desert, which keeps him vigilant and sober in his heart.

Closing the last hatch, José hastily ate something, drank a glass of water, and lay down in the lounge a little tired. There was so much going on in one day that Jose felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, and soon, he closed his eyes in a daze......

But if he could open his eyes, he would be surprised to find that the mysterious "iron piece" in his breast pocket was emitting a faint blue light at the moment......
