Chapter 198: Aurora Heaven
A team of ten people appeared out of thin air like dumplings, and fell to the ground one by one, leaving one strange human shape after another on the shallow snow.
After the team members landed, they all hugged their arms and shivered, because the clothes on their bodies had not yet begun to turn on the self-heating function, so in this case they were almost like being directly exposed to the extreme cold.
It's just that it's not the ultra-low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero or even hundreds of degrees as they imagined.
It's similar to the cold days in their place, they can freeze people to death, but they can't "kill people in seconds".
Some people let out a burst of exclamation as soon as they got up from the ground, because under the reflection of those aurora lights, the snow under them was changing colors, and if such aurora appeared on the earth, I am afraid that it could be called a wonder of the world.
But in addition to being shocked, they were also puzzled.
From a scientific point of view, aurora weather is caused by the excitation of molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere by a stream of high-energy charged particles from the Earth's magnetosphere or the Sun.
But now, the temperatures, combined with the unique aurora phenomenon, make them feel like they're not in a country of extreme cold, but on an ice sheet near the Earth's poles.
From afar, there are snow-capped fields in all directions, but what is a little unpredictable is that the snow here is only a shallow layer, as if it has only been falling for a short time.
And in their mission guide, the country of extreme cold is a place with terrifying low temperatures of more than minus 200 degrees, all kinds of alien monsters are everywhere, there are snowstorms all day long, snowflakes are as sharp as blades, and even the wild monsters in the wasteland have a combat power comparable to those controllable and perfect infections created by the Xiguan Renai Research Institute...... In short, in their mission guide, the Extremely Cold Country is called the "Extremely Cold Purgatory", and it is also the most difficult of the four continents of the Demon Realm, just because the temperature here is too low.
Gong Piqing also wanted to contact the contact headquarters to ask if it was in the wrong place, but they were not equipped with a communication device for this mission, because the Demon Realm and their earth are not in the same universe at all, and so far they have no equipment that can allow them to do this kind of cross-world communication, except for the last time when he and the Hades went to the Machine Country, they used an extra-long cable and signal receiving device to throw them into the Demon Realm with people, and then the Hades reported the situation back through the thought wave.
Among the four super soldiers, only Hades can do this, so there is no need for the other three squads to be equipped with communication devices, and it is a waste to equip them.
"Team leader, this ......" Before Gong Piqing came over in a daze, one of the team members pointed to the aurora in the sky suspiciously.
"Needless to say, I don't know, it feels like we've come to Antarctica, let's go ahead and see if we can meet a monster or something, everything follows the mission guide." Gong Piqing said, looking into the distance and found a place similar to a river.
He was shocked in his heart, if there is a river where this kind of bird doesn't, then they may find some creature gathering places or the like along the river, or even human villages, and this is also the fastest way for them to judge their location, if they encounter the creatures on the earth, then it can basically be concluded that there is a problem with their mission, they were not teleported to the demon world but sent to the South Pole, with their equipment, they have plenty of time to figure out how to go back in the South Pole, After all, the suits on their bodies can provide the most comfortable temperature at any time, and this level of low temperature is completely helpless for them.
Eventually, Gong Piqing took the lead in the direction of the river, which was a good thing that there was no snow here, because it would allow them to judge the direction they had come from by their footprints, instead of being covered by fresh snow after just a few steps like Gong Piqing had done during training, and then they were lost in the vast snowfield.
But it wasn't until they got closer that they realized that the things were not rivers, but something oversized that had slid on the ground.
"It's the ice trail left by the movement of icebergs, not the river." A member of the team said, and Gong Piqing also remembered that these zebra-striped things in front of him were the ice roads left by the movement of the iceberg, which was a natural product of the movement of the iceberg, not a giant walking here with a heavy object.
"Let's walk along the ice road, so that at least there is a direction, and if you go wrong, you can come back the same way, everyone pay attention to safety, the ground is very slippery in some places." After Gong Piqing finished speaking, he led the team to walk along the direction of the ice road extension, like a polar expedition team on a mission.
But they are really a little puzzled about this place, they all take two steps and look up at the aurora overhead, thinking that this place is simply another earth, not the "Extreme Cold Purgatory" mentioned in the mission guide, and there are only two results of this situation, one is that their mission guide is wrong, and the other is that they are still on Earth.
Neither of these results seems to be a good thing, the mission guide is the only basis for them to carry out this mission, if the guide is full of errors, countless mistakes stacked on top of each other are fatal, because each mistake will cause them to make wrong judgments and increase the likelihood of danger; And if it is another result, they are still on Earth, and they are still near the polar regions where aurora weather can occur, and they have to find a human habitation on foot without any communication devices, and then they have to find a way to contact the headquarters and ask the headquarters to pick them up......
"Everyone." One of the team members probably felt that the atmosphere was too serious, so he took the initiative to open the topic, "I always think that our mission report is wrong...... The mission report said that the average temperature here is more than minus 100 degrees, but my suit shows that the surrounding temperature is minus 12 degrees, so we won't really be on Earth......
"I feel the same way, I also feel wrong, if the temperature is this in the country of extreme cold, how dare it call it the country of extreme cold......" Another team member teased.
"It would be great if we were still on Earth now, but don't take two steps and find a human station, only to go in and ask someone and say that we are on Earth now...... Then we're going to go back, but it's troublesome, if you want a phone, if you don't have a phone, if you want money, you can't have money......"
As the team member spoke, Gong Piqing, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, and some of the team members behind were studying the aurora in the sky, and some were looking at the ice path under their feet, and hit Gong Piqing headfirst one after another.
"It's really right for you, you crow's mouth, if it's really a human village in front of you, then let's just find a way to go back." Gong Piqing looked at the lights in front of him and muttered.
The team members behind him were also stunned, their current position was the top of a large gentle slope, they were the highest for a large area in front of them, with the help of such a terrain, they could clearly see the whole picture of the village in front of them, the village was lit up with yellow lights, and the ice road under their feet extended from the side of the village to the distance; And the village built on the slope really looks like a human village.
"I feel...... We can slide all the way down the slide. One of the team members tried it with their feet on the ice track in front of them, and there was always a layer of ice on the ground under their feet, which would be slippery if it weren't for the shallow snow, and the ice track looked like slides side by side, and if they did, they would have been to the village in front of them in a few minutes.
But it's a fantasy after all, and to slip down from here, unless they have a super hard-wearing steel ass.
"Captain, go over and have a look? If it's really a human being, let's just pack up and go home......" said someone behind him.
But Gong Piqing didn't give the order for a long time, probably because he stepped on thunder a lot when he was in the country of machines, which caused him to be nervous from the time he landed in this mission to the present, and it is not an unreasonable thing for a small village to appear in this kind of place, but the more reasonable it is, the more nervous Gong Piqing becomes, he is worried that this is another trap laid by the enemy for them, after all, the entire demon world is now in a state of preparation for war, even if you think about it from another perspective, if he is a lord of the demon world, He would also inevitably lay countless traps throughout the Extremely Cold Country waiting for the invaders to step on, and the village in front of him with lights on seemed like a trap to him.
But he just couldn't make up his mind, because what if it was really a human village? It's easy for him to miss a lot of opportunities if he's so suspicious; But if there was really a trap ahead, then from the time he made up his mind to go over and take a look, they would have become guinea pigs in the enemy's labyrinth......
