Chapter 184: The Predetermined Place

The Arctic Island, the northernmost place in the world, spends six months of the year in winter, and the most important thing is snowflakes and ice, with the highest temperature not exceeding 24 degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature being minus 60 degrees.

There are very few people who can survive in such places, so the population of the Arctic island is extremely small, inhabited only by a few Eskimos and the scientists responsible for exploring here.

Although the Arctic island has an extreme climate and is sparsely populated, it is also valuable, and it has been used for oil and has appeared in the myths of other countries.

For example, in the myth of the Great Yan Kingdom, it was recorded that after Dayu ruled the water, he traveled around the world and went to a place in the north of the country, which should be the current Arctic Island.

At the same time, it is also a place with many natural landscapes, such as the polar day or the polar night, and the summer sun, which does not have any heat at all, just like an incandescent lamp, slowly turning in that white time.

For various reasons, there is an endless stream of scientists from all over the world who come here every year to stay and explore, more than to Antarctica, but there is no way to build a base station, so they can only go back and forth.

When Zhao Qi came to this area on a military plane, the cold wind blew on the iron sheet, and since there was a crackling sound, the temperature in the entire cabin was rapidly decreasing.

Even the military planes with thick iron sheets have been cooled down, and it is difficult to imagine how cold and harsh the environment outside is, and it is simply not a place where normal people can live.

Due to the turbulent airflow, the altitude of the plane can only be lowered again and again, and through the windows of the cabin, you can already see the scene outside.

It was a world completely covered in snow and ice, full of majestic snow-capped mountains, not even the sea could withstand the cold, and the surface was completely frozen.

Only in the summer will the lockdown be lifted and the creatures inside will be seen, but the summer on the Arctic Island is extremely short, usually only two months, and there are at least fourteen hours to be overtaken by the night.

The snowflakes are always flying, as if they never stop for a moment, and some of them blow onto the windows of the plane, and through the glass you can see that they appear octagonal, crystal clear, and very beautiful.

I didn't have time to appreciate it too much, and the cold wind howled over, blowing this octagonal body directly into snow powder, and then sprinkled it on the earth.

Many soldiers on the plane began to tighten their clothes to prevent the cold wind from penetrating in, or to warm up their thermal underwear, and they all felt the chill.

Zhao Qi used his aura slightly, and a wave of heat in his body naturally burst out, warming his limbs and bones, even if he was only wearing sportswear, he was not afraid at all.

"I have arrived at the predetermined location, there are too many glacier peaks in front of me, it is not suitable for flying, it is not easy to fly, do you want to land?" In the speakers on the plane, the sound of the cockpit can be heard.

"Let's land, find a little lower and stop, put the climbing rope down, and we'll see for ourselves." Zhang Zhenshan nodded and shouted at the cab.

Soon, Zhao Qi felt that the plane was constantly falling, and at the same time it remained in a suspended and stationary state, because it was all white outside, and he didn't know how high it was.

The soldiers sprang into action and pulled the door of the plane open, and the cold wind and air currents outside immediately poured in, accompanied by a large amount of snow powder, which hit their faces.

Zhao Qi had to move the aura faster, and the snow powder was melted and evaporated before it could be touched, and the temperature of his body rose even more.

The soldiers were much more miserable, their faces covered in snow and ice residue, but they all wore protective equipment such as goggles and military masks, so they did not fall into passivity.

When the plane came to a standstill, the soldiers threw ropes as thick as fists through the hatches on both sides, and the other end of the rope was tied to the bottom plate and was firmly sturdy.

"At the beginning, the movements should be flexible, don't drag the mud and water, jump directly after finding the right height, there is snow underneath, and you can't die if you fall." Zhang Zhenshan commanded from the side.

The soldiers sprang into action, grasping the rope with both hands, hooking their feet, and sliding down with great agility, all the way to the ground.

The height of the end of the rope was about twenty or thirty meters away from the snow below, and there was a layer of snow underneath.

Although Zhang Zhenshan had cultivated Reiki, he didn't seem to be interested in this method, and most of the time he still liked guns and cold weapons, so this time he also slid down the ropeway like other soldiers.

Zhao Qi was more relaxed, and when the hatch gradually closed, he found the opportunity to jump down, made a very chic roll in the air, and then fell steadily into the snow.

The snow here was so thick that it had completely reached the thighs to the waist when I stood up, and it was only snowflakes that hadn't frozen, and the ones below were already frozen.

However, it is not particularly strong, and if it is squeezed by gravity, there will still be a clicking sound, and if you are too heavy, you may also crush the ice below, so you will fall into it.

Once you fall into this kind of ice hole, no matter what kind of clothes you wear, questions will be quickly lost, which is a very dangerous thing.

Zhang Zhenshan was prepared, and quickly untied the bags on his back with the soldiers, and then took out a pair of skis and fastened them tightly on his shoes, so that he could easily step on the snow.

The military aircraft in the air also retracted their ropes, closed the hatches, and flew back to the route.

In this extreme weather, there is a lot of wear and tear on the aircraft, so it will stop in a nearby safe area and wait until the mission is completed to pick it up.

After Zhang Zhenshan counted the number of soldiers and made sure that there was no problem, he took out a display screen from his thick coat, determined the location, and began to act.

I saw that the skis under the soldiers' feet bloomed with blue light, and a burst of energy burst out, and they could move forward directly without their exertion, just control the direction.

This seems to be the blessing of the aura formation, so it can achieve this effect, otherwise it would be too difficult to add an engine to such a small ski with current technology.

Zhang Zhenshan looked at Zhao Qi and knew that he could walk freely in this snow without skis, so he said:

"Our exploration team lives with the Eskimos here, and to be precise, there is probably only that little area of the entire Antarctic Island that can survive, so we have to go and see it."

"Lead the way, if there is any danger, I will take action, you can rest assured." Zhao Qi nodded in response.

Zhang Zhenshan completely put his mind at ease, it stands to reason that it is not certain that supernatural forces cannot use the resources of the Xuan Academy, this is the rule.

Now that the dean of the main academy of metaphysics has personally said that he will take action, no matter how terrifying the supernatural event is, it will definitely be easily solved, and he will no longer worry about anything at all.

The skis at the foot of Zhang Zhenshan also burst out with energy, pushing him forward.

Zhao Qi pulled his thighs out of the snow, and then stepped lightly on the snow.

He seemed to be as light as a feather now, even if his big feet stepped on the snow, he didn't see the slightest sink, and he could stand firmly in it.

Zhao Qichao started running, his body burst out with aura light, his steps were very large, and he stepped on it extremely hard, but no matter what, the ground after landing was intact without any damage.

Under such a fast madness, the group soon stopped in front of a tall mountain and river.

The soldiers are still quite embarrassed, and the snowflakes are piled up on their faces and clothes, and they look like they have the rudiments of a snowman, and they can be cosed with their noses inserted.

The only one who is calm is Zhao Qi, no matter how fierce and huge the wind and snow are, he has not been able to stain a single cent on his body, and the sportswear is still as new as ever.

Some soldiers were very surprised by this situation, and kept muttering, and those veterans had long been accustomed to this, and they had seen Zhao Qi when he was even more shocked.

"No, the situation is not right, this map doesn't say that there is a snow-capped mountain here, how can it appear out of thin air? Could it be that the melting of the ocean's glaciers has caused this place to be displaced? ”

Zhang Zhenshan took the navigation instrument in his hand, looked at the huge snow-capped mountain in front of him, and was puzzled for a while.

The map in hand is the distance sent by the scientific research team, and there is not much at this time, so it cannot be fake.

So it's more likely that there is a different change in front of you, causing a large snow-capped mountain to stay here.

"I said on the phone that there is a moving snow mountain, is it the snow mountain in front of me, which blocks the way of the team members?" Zhang Zhenshan continued to mutter.

Zhao Qi jumped up and came to the top of this snow-capped mountain, about twenty or thirty meters high, you can see that it is very steep here, and then go up, almost ninety degrees vertical.

Generally speaking, this situation is relatively rare, the snow mountain is the product of the accumulation of snowflakes after not falling, the higher the angle is, the more vertical, generally only at the top of the show 90 degrees.

However, the position at the foot of the mountain is 90 degrees vertical, which does not look like a snow-capped mountain, but a cliff.

Zhao Qi raised his foot and stomped on the ground suddenly, and suddenly burst out with a violent energy, which suddenly flew the snowflakes everywhere and blew up a deep pit.

It had to be four or five meters deep, and what was revealed was still frozen solid ice cubes and snowflakes, and no other colors could be seen, which was indeed an iceberg.

This bold move made some of the soldiers below frown, because anyone who has survived in the snow knows that there must not be too much noise, otherwise it will cause an avalanche.

It was a frightening disaster, with a layer of snow piled up in the sky, no less than an entire snow-capped mountain, and contained some hard ice, which was directly cooled by the impact.

The number of people who can survive the avalanche is extremely rare, and it is also because of good luck that they did not come to the core area, and the rest can only be reduced to cold corpses.

Especially in front of a snow-capped mountain with a very vertical angle, the probability of avalanche is definitely higher. Fortunately, such a bold move did not cause anything, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

Zhao Qi jumped down from the snow mountain, landed steadily in the snow layer, glanced at Zhang Zhenshan and said: "I can't see anything, the angle of this snow mountain is very tricky, and it is very difficult to climb it." ”

"In that case, let's take a detour, go around this snow-capped mountain and continue to walk inside, I also think it's impossible to climb up."

Zhang Zhenshan looked up at the snow-capped mountain that went straight into the clouds, and also felt that this matter was under great pressure, you must know that this is an Arctic island, and the position of the clouds is relatively high, so the height of this snow-capped mountain is much higher than it seems.

The team began to move again, and the aura bloomed from the skis, and the smoke began to change positions and move from another direction.

In the white world of snow and ice, it is easy to get lost, and the soldiers plant some small red flags on the ground to identify the location.

After walking for about ten minutes, the team stopped again, and Zhang Zhenshan directly took off the protective eye mask on his face and looked like a snowy mountain with a shocked expression.

"What are you kidding, how long has it been since this has been gone, why is this snow-capped mountain still there?"

They had made a long detour, but they still hadn't bypassed this snow-capped mountain, and the snow that reached into the sky seemed to be an area that would last forever.

The speed of the snowboard blessed by the aura is very fast, and after ten minutes of galloping, you have to go out at least two or three thousand meters.

Even so, it did not get out of the range of this snow-capped mountain, so how high and how big is this snow-capped mountain? Is it Mount Everest?

Zhang Zhenshan didn't know how to understand this matter, it seemed to be encountering a supernatural problem, if there were any ghosts, it could be defined as a strange event.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around, there was a dean of the Xuan Academy beside him, and this kind of question would be fine if he asked him directly.

Zhang Zhenshan's eyes swept through the crowd, and he didn't see Zhao Qi's figure at all, he actually disappeared directly!

"No, why is the dean gone? Where did he go, did any of you see it? Zhang Zhenshan was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they all shook their heads, how could they still observe the surrounding situation in that kind of high-speed speed, and the constant coverage of ice and snow.

"Rub, there shouldn't be any problems, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, I know what strength Lao Zhao has, it's impossible to break here."

Zhang Zhenshan was a little dumbfounded for a while, but he also felt that there should be no accidents, and he believed in Zhao Qi's strength very much.

Sure enough, after another three or four minutes, Zhao Qi's figure appeared, but not from behind the group, but in front of him.

Halfway through the journey, he realized that something was wrong here, because it was impossible to have such a wide range, so he reversed the direction and started to detour from the other side.

With the blessing of aura, his speed was very fast, and he bypassed the snow-capped mountains all the way, and around and around, he met Zhang Zhenshan and others.

"The situation is not right, Lao Zhao, this snow-capped mountain is too big, and why did you come from that direction? Did you find anything? ”

Seeing that Zhao Qi was as safe and sound as he expected, Zhang Zhenshan immediately stepped forward and asked.

Zhao Qi didn't answer immediately, but stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me your map." ”

Zhang Zhenshan quickly took out the instrument, and the screen on it was green, which depicted the location at this time with yellow lines, and there were many small grids horizontally and vertically, each of which was marked with a distance of 100 meters.

Judging from the map on the instrument, there are no snow-capped mountains in this place at all, and the destination is only two kilometers away! (End of chapter)
