Chapter 15: The Far North

Within the Arctic Circle, the Greenland Sea.

Under the polar night sky, the red-painted icebreaker broke through the hard ice and sailed straight in the direction of Greenland.

Belonging to the Royal Navy, the nuclear-powered icebreaker is undoubtedly the most powerful icebreaker in the world today, as a secret ship that has never been made public to the outside world, the behemoth can easily break through 6-meter-thick ice and 10-meter-high floating icebergs, leaving a 30-meter-wide channel everywhere it goes.

At this moment, it is August in the Northern Hemisphere, and the average temperature in the Arctic Circle is about minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is "warm" enough in comparison. However, I don't know what happened recently, but the temperature in the Arctic Circle at this time showed that it was minus 60 degrees, which has fallen below the lowest temperature in the history of the Arctic, and all countries are paying close attention to this.

Because of the extremely cold climate, most aircraft cannot fly in such extremely cold temperatures for long periods of time, and the Osprey transport helicopters deployed in Iceland by the Oloin family cannot fly directly to Greenland. The Thorncutter docked in Iceland before entering the Arctic Circle, refueled the Osprey transport helicopter and picked it up.

Chang Hao stood on the stern deck wrapped in a thick down jacket, looking at the silhouette of Iceland gradually moving away, and he suddenly sighed that fate was so magical. A little more than a month ago, he was an ordinary sophomore at Summertown University, and just a month later, he not only knew his legendary background, but also saw Hogwarts that should only exist in movies and novels, and now he has become an operational adviser to the Royal Special Air Service Corps. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't believe it.

"What are you doing stupidly? Watching the sea every day, can't you get tired of watching it? ”

Chang Hao suddenly felt that his cheeks were cold, it was a bottle of cold Coke, he turned his head to look, Chang Ge, who had wrapped himself tightly like a little sheep, was grinning at him.

Chang Hao took the cola and brought it to his mouth and teased: "Grandpa used to complain to me that your dress is too cool, and several pairs of hot pants are almost short enough to cover your buttocks, plus your figure is angry, which will inevitably attract some bad eyes." Now that you are wrapped so thickly, he is definitely satisfied. ”

"Of course you have to show off your figure, otherwise it's a pity. Chang Ge's mouth hummed and pouted, she has always been very confident in her figure, at the beginning of Xiacheng University also asked for her own consent, and hung a picture of her without any PS on the admissions network, so that year's freshman report was called a crowd of people, and she was also on the school's post bar forum "God of World War I", becoming the school flower of Xiacheng University, and becoming the lady of heaven in the eyes of countless people.

Now it seems that those people are indeed very discerning, this daughter of the emperor of Kyushu, if she is not a lady of the sky, what else can she be?

"Captain, that brother and sister... Is that the tactical advisor for this trip?" On the other side of the aft deck, a burly tough guy looked at the young man and woman who were frolicking not far away, and asked the man in the wide-brimmed hat next to him in a questioning tone.

This top-secret mission to Greenland is very clear, even if they are vetted royal special forces, they still have a very high battle loss rate. They all have information on the news of the scientific research station in Greenland, judging from the fact that the previous three groups of elites were all wiped out, they can at most be fearless and calm, but if they add two young people who are unknown and don't seem to be deeply involved in the world, how can they take care of the safety of the tail of this crane?

"Chris, do you think I'm dizzy or have a bad brain?" the wide-brimmed hat slowly lifted, and Price took a puff of smoke rings out of his cigar.

Chris, who was shouldering the position of vice captain, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly spoke: "Captain, I didn't mean that..."

"The origin and energy of these two brothers and sisters are beyond your imagination, and then when they arrived at the scientific research station, they didn't open their mouths, as long as they opened their mouths, everyone had to obey their orders, whether it was brother or sister, this is an iron law!"

Price's pupils reflected the shimmer of a cigar's burning, and the texture of his tone was like an iceberg. It was only at this moment that the half-aged man, who had previously been Servi's personal bodyguard, had finally returned to the battlefield he was familiar with, like a general re-armouring and riding on his horse.

"Yes!" Chris didn't dare to ask more, and lowered his head deeply.

At noon the next day, the Thorncutter finally sailed to the vicinity of Greenland, but the sun was still below the horizon and it was still a polar night.

And as the Slayer gets closer to the direction of the research station, the bone-chilling cold becomes more and more obvious, although the data on the thermometer is still stable at minus 60 degrees, everyone has a strange illusion that the temperature is still dropping.

The aircraft that take off and land in the polar regions are equipped with antifreeze aviation fuel, and a Osprey transport helicopter can transport 16 special forces and Chang Hao and others directly to their destinations.

It is more than a dozen kilometers from the temporary anchorage point of the icebreaker along the ice to the research station, and it is no different from murder to walk so far in such an extremely cold climate.

Every SAS special soldier on the transport plane has learned yesterday that the two young people in front of them are the tactical advisers of this trip, although everyone has more or less doubts and doubts in their hearts, but they are not written on their faces, but Chang Hao took the initiative to talk to them, they unexpectedly found from the young man's conversation, he seems to be far more reliable than imagined, and soon everyone will communicate with each other.

The Osprey transport aircraft had been specially modified to protect against freezing, but in this extremely cold situation, not long after taking off from the deck of the Thorncutter, the tiltrotors on both sides soon began to make disturbing sounds, and ice crystals visible to the naked eye were spreading rapidly.

The co-pilot activated the defrosting device, but with little effect because the temperature was too low.

Chang Hao frowned, there was an engine in the rotating wing, and no one would want to try what it was like to crash in the ice and snow. He wanted to try to clear the ice crystals from the spinning wings with his sword qi transformation, but it was so cold that his hands trembled in the cold wind, and he couldn't use this kind of meticulous sword technique.

Fortunately, Hathaway had expected this to happen in advance.

"Hephaestus, great god of fire, listen to my call and dispel the frost. Inside the rotating wing of the transport plane, layers of subtle firelight weaved an orange "thin blanket", and the "thin blanket" was spread on the ice crystals, and the high temperature quickly melted the ice crystals, and the rotating wing immediately returned to normal.

Hathaway exhaled lightly, and Chang Hao gave her a silent thumbs up, and judging from her pretty good complexion, this level of magic didn't consume her much. She stood up, looked through the porthole, and said in a deep voice, "Here we are." ”

Chang Hao raised his eyes and saw that the flow of time seemed to be frozen in this moment.

In the white wind and snow and the roar of the osprey's rotating wings, the outline of the scientific research station established by the mountain finally appeared in the field of vision. In the darkness of the night, the towering snow-capped mountains resemble an ancient tomb that freezes the living.
