Chapter 318: Whale Song and the Emperor of Ice
Greenland
Snowmobiles are speeding up at high speed, carrying a cloud of snow and dust behind them.
At this moment, the North Pole is the polar day, which starts more than a month earlier than usual, and the sky is always clear and clear, and the dazzling white sun hangs low above the horizon, but it never sets. If you don't take into account the terrifying low temperatures of the area, the image is very soothing and melodious, and it is very calming.
Schneider and Fingal are sitting on the same snowmobile, Fingal is in charge of the stance, and Schneider is holding a new iPhone and reading a map.
The map that the head of the Executive Department can use to carry out missions in Greenland is not a map app such as Google Maps, HERE Maps, Ope map, or Sygic Maps, but a real-time map obtained by Eva through a satellite perspective, whether it is a snowstorm or a frozen river or a melting glacier, or even where there are polar bears and snow wolves, but any slight changes in the terrain will be displayed on this map.
This latest iPhone is naturally not an ordinary mobile phone, but a mobile phone modified by the equipment department with Eva's core data, which can run Eva's logic library, and has the same way of thinking as Eva, almost a mini Eva with a computing speed of only the level of a smartphone but all the functions that should be missing. She also marks the most suitable access roads on a map and teleports them to the electronic display of each snowmobile.
"It's a lot colder here than the last time I was here."
Fingal exhaled, and the heat turned into a white mist in the low temperature.
"According to the data, since the arrival of the king of the sea and water in Greenland, the temperature has dropped unusually low throughout the Arctic Circle. Most climate experts thought the Arctic Ocean would lose all of its ice cover by 2050, but recently, the Arctic Ocean has been strangely frozen in ice, with the edge of the ice sheet stretching all the way to the Bering Strait. Climatologists around the globe are panicking at this bizarre phenomenon, which means that their models for predicting climate change have failed completely. Now they're holding a conference in Stockholm, and some experts say the phenomenon could mean a new ice age for the planet, and some even predict that entire oceans will be frozen. ”
Eva's slightly cold voice came from the Bluetooth headset in everyone's ears. "I just received the latest news that the joint Finnish and Mao expedition team decided to withdraw from the Arctic Circle station set up by Mao State, but unfortunately, they were not able to leave here."
"Are they trapped by frozen glaciers?" Susie asked through the internal communication channel while driving a snowmobile.
Chu Zihang narrowed his eyes slightly: "No, I think they should never be able to leave the Arctic Circle." ”
"That's right, fifteen minutes ago, they were all dead, and none of them survived."
In the distance, a silvery hot air balloon has just lifted off, and people in expedition uniforms are setting up tripods, while others are busy drilling holes and setting up tents in the ice.
Eva transmits a video to the electronic screen of the snowmobile, in which people in expedition uniforms are camped on an ice surface, setting up tents, lighting fires, fetching water, cooking food, setting up tripods, setting up electronic beacons to protect against predators such as polar bears and snow wolves, drilling holes, and some recording work, and in the distance, the silver hot air balloon for data detection has just lifted off, all in an orderly manner.
While playing, he explained to everyone: "The camp in the video is near the Franz Josef Land Islands, and the evacuation plan of the scientific expedition members from Finland and Mao is to drive snowmobiles and carry baggage to trek about 300 nautical miles on the ice, where there are nuclear-powered icebreakers sent by Mao countries. As well-trained expedition members, they also recorded the temperature and wind direction during the evacuation, and took samples of seawater and ice for later investigation into the cause of the sudden drop in temperature in the Arctic Circle. ”
The video suddenly began to shake, and the people who were working in an orderly manner suddenly started to stir, and everyone looked in the same direction, and the person with the camera immediately turned in that direction, and the ice was shaking. But there is nothing but the sun, not even a hint of wind, just a thin layer of snow and dust near the horizon.
The snow dust seemed to be stirred by something, and the tremors of the ice began to intensify, just when people thought that something was going to rush out of the snow dust, suddenly someone shouted "God", and everyone in the scientific expedition team began to panic, some put down their work and turned around and ran, some roared, some muttered something, and drew a cross on their chests.
It's just that those who stay where they are, draw crosses, pray, and shout filial piety can't run away.
The snow and dust rushed in, and in just a moment, everyone's bodies stood quietly on the ice like a thick layer of white wax, like sculptures, and tiny white hairs grew on the surface of their skin, which were condensed ice crystals.
And those who turned around and ran away only lived a few more moments.
The snow and dust spread much faster than they could run, and as they ran, they froze, some of them became statues of their running posture, while others fell, their limbs as if they were made of plaster, and they broke off when they hit the ice, but no blood flowed out.
The camera fell to the ground, and the impact and sudden low temperature did not stop the special polar camera, but its owner had completely lost his life, and the final shot was of the silver hot air balloon used to measure the temperature of the high air falling straight on the ice, shattering.
It took only thirty seconds for a tragedy to happen, the dazzling sun hanging high in the sky, the snow and dust still filling the horizon, but it was not stirred. The tremors of the ice also regained their calm, as if one day the invisible dead nerves passed through the camp of this scientific expedition team, and as they passed, they took the insignificant life that they had for her.
"Is this the power of the king of the sea and water? It's horrible. ”
Rao is red-haired witch Nuo Nuo, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can't help but gasp, she didn't even see the dragon shadow, she can completely freeze people in an instant, how can such a power not make people's hearts flutter.
net
"No, that's not the power of the Lord of the Sea and Water." Schneider's voice was hoarse and low, as if he was gritting his teeth and speaking, "That's just a second generation...... A whale...... An old friend of mine ......"
Schneider retrieved an aluminum jug from his backpack, which was a flask containing vodka, which was only allowed to be drunk in the event of an accident that caused them to lose their kerosene reserves and could not find combustible materials to heat it. But Schneider, as the head of the executive department and the commissioner of this mission, violated this rule and directly opened the spout of the pot and poured it into his mouth.
No way, Schneider is so happy today, and this joy comes from the fact that he finally found the opportunity to cut the throat of the enemy.
The liquor entered his throat, moistening his esophagus and stomach, and a hot sensation spread through his limbs and reached his heart.
Schneider's twin children lit up slightly, and the hatred and fighting spirit in their hearts burned even more violently, as if they had just drunk not strong wine, but kerosene.
"After all these years, you're finally back, my old friend."
Everyone understood what that "you" and the so-called "old friend" meant.
In the Greenland incident many years ago, Leviathan froze the entire sea, and the only survivors were Schneider and Fingal. Although he survived, his face and respiratory system were destroyed by the extreme cold, and he was contaminated by the dragon's blood of the Leviathan, making others unhaunted and having to wear a respirator for the rest of his life, but it was the students who sacrificed him who suffered even more.
Because most of the people who followed him on the mission at that time were students under his name, Schneider was very keen on education and was always surrounded by excellent students. But since then, his personality has changed greatly, and he has completely put down his education work and transferred to the executive department, and in the battle against dragons, his methods are extremely tough.
This was not atonement but revenge, and it was for this reason that Schneider received strong support from the headmaster, Angers.
But Schneider's physical condition is too poor after all, Schneider's physical condition has become worse and worse in the past few years, and the school board has also recommended several times to replace the top person in charge of the executive department, but because a suitable replacement has not been found for the time being, Schneider can only continue to serve as the head of the executive department.
But who would have thought that at the end of his term, Schneider accepted two students for the first time - Chu Zihang and Chen Hongji, and Chen Hongjian also helped Schneider calm down the collapsed bloodline, heal his face and respiratory system, allow him to continue to serve as the head of the executive department, and find his old enemy today.
Everyone was silent, except for Caesar, who clicked the replay button and played it back over and over again, but his head was raised, and his eyes were always looking straight ahead, as if he was "listening" to the video.
I don't know how many times I listened to it, but Caesar finally confirmed something and said, "Did you hear the song in the video?" ”
"Singing?"
The others were confused, but Fingal and Schneider were very calm, and Schneider's face showed such an expression.
"That's right, there's singing in there, I thought you wouldn't be able to hear it."
"Well, I heard you right." Caesar nodded, "I heard extremely faint singing voices from the video, but none of you seemed to react, so I thought I heard it wrong." ”
"That's the whale song." Eva explains, "The audio that whales communicate with each other is below the lower limit of human hearing, so the human ear can't hear it. But Caesar could, because he was a sickle. ”
It dawned on Caesar that the time of the song was almost at the same time as the commotion of the crowd, and he could not understand what was being sung in the song, but he could feel the vastness of the song, like the chant of the gods that mortals heard far from the temple. But the obviously sacred singing made him tremble, and he could only keep from trembling by clenching his fists tightly and clenching the steering wheel.
"That's the Emperor of Speech and Ice, a high-risk spirit of the King of the Sea and Water, serial number 114, if you talk about practicality alone, it is far better than the same level 110 spirit spirit, and even those ultimate spirit spirits may not be comparable."
Eva's statement sounds a bit fantastical, what is the 110th level of the word spirit, and what is the ultimate word spirit?
No. 110 Black Sun, No. 111 Judgment, No. 112 Laiyin, No. 113 Bronze and Fire King Ultimate Spirit, Candle Dragon, No. 115 King of the Sea and Water, Soul of Words, Returning to Ruins, No. 117 King of the Earth and Mountain, Ultimate Spirit, Shiva Dance......
If it weren't for Uesugi Koshi's intention to suppress it and not be a pure-blooded dragon after all, Spirits Black Sun might have been able to destroy the whole of Tokyo.
The Speech Spirit Judgment was also slaughtered in the hands of Eri Yi, and the Spirit of the Word Lai Yin directly razed the entire Kassel Manor within a five-kilometer radius, and the Spirit of the Word and the Shiva Dance also easily destroyed a large city, and the scope of the Ice Emperor seemed to be only a little bit, far less than the other 110-level Speech Spirits, but its chanting time was too short.
Eva upplays audio that can't be heard by the human ear enough to be captured.
The Ice Emperor is too terrifying, especially for the half-bloods, who don't know that Leviathan sings the Spirit of Words without any defense, and when they find out that something is wrong, they almost have to face death.
And that ethereal and sacred whale song chant only takes five seconds to evoke the extreme cold that accompanies death.
"On that day the two beasts will be separated, and the she-beast is called Leviathan, and she dwells in the depths of the sea, in the waters; His name was Behemoth, and he lived in a wilderness on the east side of the Garden of Yindian, and the name of the wilderness was Dendayyan, which was not visible to men. Chu Zihang recited in a low voice, "Myths are often written on the basis of reality, and we have to guard against not only Leviathan, but also a sub-species named Behemoth. ”
The passage Chu Zihang recites is from the Book of Enoch, a Bible-like book written in Hebrew that is not recognized by the Christian church. Because it is too wild, it will even tell stories similar to angels who betrayed God, made peace with humans, and gave birth to terrifying monsters, so it is called "Apocrypha".
But the secret party likes to study this kind of gods and monsters the most, as Chu Zihang said, myths are often distorted history, and the history in these myths often points to the dragon clan. According to the Book of Enoch, Leviathan was created by God on the sixth day of the creation of the world, Leviathan was a dragon of chaos, entrenched in the depths of the sea, and as for its form, some say it resembles a giant serpent, some say it resembles a crocodile, some say it looks like a giant whale, and their opponent may also be Behemoth, a giant beast that looks like a hippopotamus......

PPS: Let's talk about polar day and polar night.
In the high latitudes of Antarctica, there is no "sunrise and sunset" rhythm of life, and there is no 24-hour day and night cycle. Polar day and polar night are natural phenomena unique to the Polar Circle. It occurs within 66 degrees 34 minutes north latitude of the Arctic Circle and 66 degrees 34 minutes south latitude of the Antarctic Circle.
Polar Day of the North Pole: March 21 - September 23 every year; Arctic Polar Night: September 23 – March 21 of the following year. Polar day and night are natural phenomena in the polar regions of the earth, the so-called polar day, that is, the sun never sets, the sky is always bright, this phenomenon is also called white night; The so-called polar night is the opposite of the polar day, the sun never comes out, and the sky is always dark.
