Zhu Yu was not the only one who discovered this, many people on the deck were watching, and soon someone let out an exclamation.

More people poured onto the deck and began to look into the distance.

Zhu Yu took out a telescope and looked into the distance.

Where there was snow and ice, some black boulders were exposed. The shape of these black boulders resembles some square buildings, which is puzzling.

Looking at the direction in which the icebreaker sailed, Zhu Yu guessed if this place would really be a ruin.

"Handsome guy, can you lend me your binoculars?" Next to her, a woman touched Zhu Yu's arm and said.

Zhu Yu turned his head to look over, the woman was twenty-six or seventeen years old, white, less than one meter seven tall, slightly chubby, very beautiful, wearing a woolen hat and sunglasses, and talking to Zhu Yu in a very natural tone.

"Here you go." Zhu Yu handed her the binoculars.

The woman looked at it for less than a minute, then handed the telescope back to Zhu Yu and said with a smile:

"The quality of this telescope is very good. By the way, hello, my name is Judy. The woman held out her hand.

"My name is Tang Wenyang." Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and shook her hands, "Study biology." ”

"I'm an expert in archaeology." The woman was very confident, "This time, I'm afraid there aren't many places to work." ”

Zhu Yu shrugged his shoulders, put away the binoculars, and did not speak.

The icebreaker came to a halt a few kilometers away from the black boulder.

The ice here is already thicker than the icebreaker can break, so it's time to disembark.

Sure enough, after a while, the staff came over to inform:

"All personnel in a meeting!"

In the large conference room, Zhu Yu found that there were a lot fewer people here. The original group of security personnel was not there, only the recruited technicians and staff were.

Nancy was dressed in thick clothes, her face was still serious, her hair was pulled up, and she said into the microphone:

"Next, we're going to get off the boat. The equipment will be taken away by tracked tractors, and the personnel will advance on motorboats and tractors. There is no need for everyone to worry about the supplies.

Let me reiterate that we are about to enter the work phase next. At this stage, no one is allowed to stop the progress of the work under any pretext, otherwise, you will not be able to bear the responsibility! ”

After saying that, he left the venue.

Just two sentences to get everyone together?

"Alright, let's pack our things!" One of the staff members shouted, "Don't bring anything you don't need!" Pack as light as possible! ”

That being said, but when it was time to get off the boat, Zhu Yu found that everyone was basically carrying a big bag.

In this unfamiliar team, everyone trusts themselves the most.

Looking at Zhu Yu's small bag, some people showed strange expressions, while others ignored it.

Stepping on the ice, Zhu Yu finally had a sense of solidity.

Although the Eye of Heaven is open, they are not really on land yet, but it is much better than dangling around in a ship.

Crawler tractors and ice jet skis were hoisted down, then equipment was loaded, personnel were pulled, and the black boulder was located in the distance.

There are several deep track marks left on the ice.

There was no sea breeze at this time, but Zhu Yu estimated that the temperature was at least minus forty degrees, and it would not take long for people to freeze through.

Naturally, there is no such problem with his winter clothes. From China, the down coat that can be heated by electricity keeps Zhu Yu in a relatively warm state.

The tall staff member next to him was even more uncomfortable, shrinking his neck from time to time and rubbing his hands, obviously choking on the cold.

The man's companion whispered comfort:

"It's good to wait until you reach the target point. At that time, I will build a prefabricated house, and it will be much more comfortable to live in. ”

Zhu Yu turned his head to look at the equipment on the crawler tractor, and he thought to himself that this time he was not living in a prefabricated house. The crawler tractor pulls up the containerized whole room. The space capsule room, which is similar to the Internet celebrity check-in place, is much more advanced than the movable board room.

There are more than a dozen such board houses alone, and it must be no problem to live.

The motorboat drove to the black boulder and did not stop, Zhu Yu looked at the black boulder now, and he found that these were real stones, not man-made buildings. It's just a little bit like a city building.

Looking further underground, I realized that I was already on land. A few meters below the ice sheet is the land, but all that comes into view is sand and rocks.

There are also large and small ice caves in these ice layers, which makes Zhu Yu very curious.

How are these ice caves formed? Some are directly connected to the land, as if they were drilled out of some kind of creature.

The tracked car drove past the black boulders, drove several kilometers further, and finally came to a stop on a gray stone platform.

Most of this stone platform is covered with snow and ice, and a small part is exposed.

Zhu Yu got out of the car, looked over from the sky, and was surprised to find that this stone platform turned out to be a man-made building!

It is a pyramid-like structure with three floors, each of which is about five meters high.

Now the people are in the highest position. But from the outside, it's just an ordinary smooth stone.

There are traces of excavation of the snow and ice near the stone platform, but the excavated passage has been covered with snow and ice again.

The crawler stopped nearby, and then the containerized suites were unloaded here. The tracked car drove back again. Clearly, there are more supplies that need to be hauled in.

The next thing is to allocate a room, one room for six people, there are men and women here, to Zhu Yu's surprise, Qin Fei is in the same room as himself, and Judy.

Entering the sealed room, Zhu Yu felt that the temperature inside was at least above zero, and the double temperature insulation door kept the cold out very well. The space inside is not small, and the use is very reasonable.

Most of them are bedrooms, with a living room-like area, but surrounded by a wall with a workbench that can be used to work with materials. A small kitchen to boil water and also heat some food. A bathroom is divided into two rooms for men and women, which is very considerate.

After putting the things down and putting them away, Zhu Yu walked out in thick clothes.

It was a busy scene outside, and the staff were loading and unloading supplies.

Zhu Yu opened the Heavenly Eye and looked at the location where those materials were stored - there was a room where there were a lot of weapons, including guns, bullets, explosives, etc., Zhu Yu roughly understood what these things were for.

After the things were brought in, some machinery began to dig up nearby.

There is no cell phone signal here. There is a signal is a satellite phone.

Zhu Yu's new mobile phone has the function of making satellite calls, but he did not call, but put the phone away.

Looking at the traces of mechanical excavation, Zhu Yu returned to the room.

Since you're here to disguise, it's safer. If you don't come across something worth doing, you should think of yourself as a staff member.

Entering the room, Zhu Yu was a little surprised to see that Judy was already making coffee.

"Have a drink?" Judy raised her glass at him.

"Thank you." Zhu Yu nodded.

He found that this Judy seemed to be very familiar with this line of work, and had a feeling of confidence, could it be that she was specially invited by the Dafner family?

Zhu Yu felt that these people were just a front, and people like Judy were really useful people, right?

I don't know what the Dafner family will do with Nancy in the end?

Zhu Yu was not afraid at all, after all, he had space and was full of confidence.

After drinking coffee, Zhu Yu returned to his bed, and Zhu Yu happened to be diagonally opposite him.

The two of them chatted.

Zhu Yu really guessed correctly, Judy was personally invited by Nancy!

The next day, when Zhu Yu and the others came out of the room, they found that a large hole more than ten meters deep and obliquely downward had appeared at the excavation site.

The bottom of the cave already saw the ground, and it was the kind of polished very smooth floor.

At this moment, many people were directly shocked!

Some of the staff, and Zhu Yu saw that the strangers had already walked into the cave and began to "investigate" around.

Zhu Yu originally wanted to go over to see the excitement, but the staff came over to inform:

"Mr. Tang, your mission is to investigate the nearby flora and fauna. You can take your device and leave. Mainly in that direction! ”

Zhu Yu felt that this person was pointing him in a direction at random.

Not only Zhu Yu, but many people who came over on the same boat were assigned directions to investigate and study, and Zhu Yu understood that they were excluded from the real "scientific expedition".

Fortunately, Zhu Yu did not feel disappointed, but he was not able to act with the large army.

Zhu Yu carried the camera bag with a dissatisfied face and walked in that direction.

With a thick hat on his head, goggles on his glasses, and a camera bag that wasn't heavy, it was like that.

It was not only Zhu Yu who walked in this direction, but there were also two people, but as they walked, the two of them turned in a slightly divergent direction and walked forward quickly.

Although the two of them were whispering, Zhu Yu could hear it clearly, these two people planned to go to the ice cap to pick up some meteorites, maybe they could make some money.

After all, the Antarctic continent is uninhabited, there are few people who come here for scientific research, and most of the meteorites that fall from the sky are on the ice sheet, which is easy to find. As a collectible, meteorites are usually very valuable, and if they are of that gem level, they are basically sky-high.

Zhu Yu didn't care, he walked slowly, opened the eye of the sky, and found that there were many traces of man-made buildings under the ice sheet here. However, most of it has been destroyed by ice, leaving only the foundations. A small number of the sturdy ones were also pressed under the ice.

Zhu Yu turned her head and found that Judy had also walked out of the room, but Nancy had accompanied her into the cave.

Sure enough, archaeological experts are more popular!

Zhu Yu continued to walk forward, and made a slight circle, he had probably estimated that the ground buildings of this piece of ruins were more than five or six kilometers in radius, and after walking so far, the buildings under the ice sheet were still relatively dense.

To Zhu Yu's surprise, there are usually basements under these buildings, or underground passages are more accurate.

The passage is very deep, and even if you look at it with the eyes of the sky, you can't see the bottom - the ice sheet is more than ten meters, the passage is dozens of meters down, the bend, the expansion, the connection......

Zhu Yu suddenly had a bold guess, will these underground passages be connected?

Just like the tunnel warfare during the Anti-Japanese War?

He walked and stopped, stopping from time to time, pretending to observe the footprints of the animals on the ground.

The two meteorite pickers were gone, and they didn't know where they were going.

Occasionally, when I look back, I can still see someone watching from the rooftop, and I don't know if I am observing myself as a person walking in all directions, or if I am observing a potential object? Or maybe you're watching the weather?

Zhu Yu descended a shallow ice ditch, and there was no longer any way to see the base here. He saw that under the ice sheet, there was a stone building with only the foundation left, and there was a passage about one and a half meters in diameter underneath.

That's it!

Zhu Yu took off his gloves, squatted down and reached out to press on the ice sheet, and directly took away the ice with a radius of one meter and a depth of one meter and a half.

A large crater appeared directly on the ice sheet!

Zhu Yu jumped off the pit, stretched out his hand and pressed the ice wall, and obliquely "dug" a big hole two meters deep!

Walking into the big cave, Zhu Yu began to collect the ice directly, and he was surprised to find that there were some small creatures and some small meteorites in some of the ice.

However, Zhu Yu didn't care, he went straight to the bottom in one go.

Because the direction has been controlled when "digging" down, this hole is just above the passage in the ground.

Zhu Yu stepped on the ground in Antarctica, feeling a sense of solidity.

The light shone down through the ice, and it was a little dim, but it didn't affect Zhu Yu's vision.

He bent down to collect the layer of sand and gravel on the ground, revealing a slab fifty centimeters above the ground.

Although the slate is a little rough, the marks of cutting and polishing can be clearly seen.

The slabs thirty centimeters thick were removed, revealing the passage below—a damp smell came to my face!

Zhu Yu had already prepared, and when his breath rushed up, he had already held his breath, and then retreated.

However, he didn't completely avoid the impact of the breath, he smelled it a little, and was surprised to find that the breath was not very smelly, and the oxygen content in it was also very sufficient!

Could it be that the place where this passage leads is an environment that can produce oxygen?

Zhu Yu was confused!

The passage was straight up and straight down, but there were holes carved out on both sides for the foot to step on, which reminded him of the location of the Tbilisi Underground Printing Office he had seen.

Walking down with footprints, Zhu Yu observed the traces on both sides.

There are obviously some wet marks on the sockets of the feet, and the marks are very deep after stepping on them, indicating that no one has walked through this passage for a long time. It's normal to think about it, it's all blocked by ice caps, so it's naturally impossible to get through here.

After going down more than 20 meters, the passage bottomed out.

Then there was the straight passage, Zhu Yutian's eyes were always open, and he found that these passages had no mechanism, so he walked forward boldly with confidence - after walking only a dozen meters, there was a fork in the road.

Walking out more than ten meters along a fork in the road, and then there was an upward passage, Zhu Yu immediately understood that his previous guess was correct!

The downward passages hidden in these buildings on the ground are basically connected!

These passages are like the roads on the ground of human cities!

He returned to the fork in the road, and then went on another fork in the road, and found that the passage was getting wider and wider, and it was diagonally downward.

Walking more than ten meters further, the temperature in the passage had reached about zero degrees, and Zhu Yu simply took off his thick clothes and put them into the space.

The walls of the passage were embedded with glowing stones, and although the light was not strong, it was barely enough to see the road under your feet and the situation within a few meters ahead.

Zhu Yu continued to walk forward, and when he encountered two more forks in the road, he finally saw what he had guessed.

This small fork in the road leads to a dwelling that has been carved out.

There are four living rooms in this house, the ceiling height is about three meters five, the walls are very flat, the furniture and everything are directly hewn out, stone, but apart from these stone things, there are not many other things.

The iron pot that had been broken was rusted into a pile, and it broke directly when touched.

Frayed seal skins, and some trash piled up in the corners.

In the humid environment, these things were already rotten, and if it weren't for Tianyan, Zhu Yu wouldn't even be able to tell that the pile of ashes turned out to be an original iron pot.

The garbage is mainly animal bones, and it can be seen that in the ground, these people's food is still mainly meat.

Zhu Yu guessed that it could be that this passage led to an underground lake or sea?

Although he didn't find anything valuable, but with such a dungeon, Zhu Yu felt that it was worth the ticket price!

If this thing is known to the outside world, then the history of the world may have to be revised, and there is no reason for those sub-colonists to say that human beings originated from Africa.

Alas, historical things are indescribable. There's too much else to mix in.

Zhu Yu withdrew and walked in other directions, he walked very slowly. Although it can be guessed that there is a high probability that there will be nothing valuable left in these rooms on the top floor, Zhu Yu is not looking for treasure now, but hunting for curiosity.

He found that at the same height, the structure of these rooms was basically similar, they were all three or four rooms, about the same height, and the inside was basically clean.

After looking at almost seven or eight such dwellings, Zhu Yu was very surprised to find that in one of the dwellings, a bag of tattered animal skins was wrapped in a peridot meteorite weighing more than thirty kilograms!

The olivine meteorite with its golden glow is very beautiful, and it has been polished into a spherical shape, almost a positive spherical shape!

This thing should have been a treasure even in its time, right? Why did you lose it?

Zhu Yu guessed that someone should have hidden it, but he didn't take it with him when he left. The cause is unknown.

At its current market value, such a meteorite is almost in the million US dollars.

Not bad!

Zhu Yu happily put away the meteorite and continued to walk down.

This underground city is huge. The passages are also getting wider and the terrain is complex.

Zhu Yu searched and guessed whether it was because the climate and environment on the ground at that time were getting worse and worse, so they began to dig down to live, and as a result, they dug and dug, and then simply moved directly underground.

But where does their food come from? You can't skip a meal, right?
