Chapter 272 Inclined Scientific Research Station

Drop~drop~

A certain prompt sound from the device immediately aroused Zhu Xue who was keeping vigil by the campfire.

The wooden stick that was playing with the charcoal fire paused, and he subconsciously turned his head to look over. Unexpectedly, he discovered that the source of the sound was actually the communicator that Thompson and Mengsk were playing with before.

"Emma. Emma!"

The one who was keeping vigil with Zhu Jue was Emma, ​​who had been pestered by Boris just now, so she insisted on keeping vigil separately from him. At this time, she was leaning on the stone in confusion, because Zhu Jue told her that she could rest. He can do the job alone.

Emma opened her eyes from a half-asleep state and soon heard the sound. Her eyelids that were still drooping suddenly opened. She first slapped herself twice from left to right, then grabbed the cold snow on the ground and threw it on her face. After wiping it on, he got up and went to the snowmobile in the middle to wake Thompson up.

Looking at this set of procedures, Zhu Jue was stunned for a while.

"呲拉~呲拉~"

"Call the association headquarters! We have discovered ancient ruins in the glacier. This is an unprecedented discovery and we need support. There seems to be a living creature in the ruins called Blizzard. Emergency repairs are underway. We have special traces near the scientific research station as soon as possible!"

"Rumble~"

Amidst a strange dull sound, the communication was disconnected.

The communicator did not enable real-time communication between the two parties. Basically, the people at the scientific research station were describing their current situation intermittently. The sound of electricity obscured part of the content, but the general meaning was still conveyed.

In short, the scientific research station has made a major discovery, but it has also been attacked by unknown entities and is in urgent need of support!

"This is good news. The fact that they can send out contacts and still have the ability to repair communication equipment means that there should still be a considerable number of people alive."

Thompson tried to call back several times but failed. He put down the communicator, raised his head and said.

"Ancient ruins, they discovered ancient ruins!"

As an archaeologist, Rachel's focus deviated from other people's, but she was not so excited about this important discovery, and her face was a little ugly.

"They said there are living creatures in that ruins. I have to remind you. If this news is true, this mission may not be that simple."

A creature that can survive in ancient ruins to this day, regardless of whether it is good or bad, there is no doubt about this guy's strength!

"It is necessary to pass this news to the association immediately. We will set off early tomorrow morning so that we can rush to the scientific research station as quickly as possible. They need our help and everyone should make preparations."

Thompson was mid-sentence, but his eyes were in the direction of Zhu Jue. He naturally knew that the current situation at the scientific research station was not optimistic, so the first thing he thought of was to ask Zhu Jue to help, but the latter was lowering his head at this time, too. I don’t know what to think about anymore.

In the end, Thompson could only finish the words with some embarrassment, and then turned his toes and kicked Emma next to him, hoping that she would try Zhu Jue's attitude again. After all, just like Rachel said, this rescue The task will definitely not be easy, and Thompson is a little worried that Zhu Jue will choose to sit on the sidelines.

His idea is actually a bit redundant.

"Will there be a snowstorm in the interior of Greenland soon?"

Before Emma could ask, Zhu Jue asked first.

"It's May now, which should be a period of relatively normal weather in Greenland. The probability of a snowstorm is not high, but we can't rule it out. After all, this is Greenland."

There was no weather expert among the people present, and Emma could only give Zhu Jue an ambiguous answer in this regard.

This is enough.

"I want to go to the scientific research station with you!"

The most representative ability of furbolgs is to summon blizzards. Zhu Jue knows this very well, so after learning that there was an abnormal blizzard near the scientific research station, he firmly decided to go there with these people.

"Thank you for your help. If this rescue is successful, if you need help from the Archaeological Association in the future, you can always come to us."

Emma didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Not only she, but also everyone around her was relieved that Zhu Jue took the initiative to help.

After this sudden communication, it was obviously impossible to lie down and sleep again.

So for the next two hours or so, everyone simply sat around the campfire, and even breakfast was made in advance before dawn.

When there was a little light on the horizon, the snowmobile's engine was started and it was speeding towards the depths of Greenland.

At 3:20 pm, the weather was sunny.

Everything around him was covered in ice and snow, so that the sunlight that should have made people feel warm and comfortable was a bit glaring at the moment.

Zhu Jue leaned against the car window, focusing his gaze on the scientific research station that could be partially seen in the distance.

Zhu Jue heard Thompson talk about this scientific research station when they were setting up camp before. It was built just a year ago, and it uses state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship. It looks a bit like a suspended UFO. Not only are the internal facilities complete, even if it accommodates a scientific expedition team of nearly 20 people, it will still not appear crowded.

Wait until the snowmobile approaches, however.

What appeared in front of everyone was a red "disc" that fell to the ground.

"Oops, we're late!"

Thompson opened the door first and rushed down. The mental protection device was already neatly put on. Everyone else was in similar condition. Even Emma, ​​a non-combatant, was holding a black pistol in her hand. She was no longer wearing a down jacket, but something like a white sweater. A snow combat uniform with a lighter texture.

Opening the weapon box, he took out the Mikazuki Taishou and closed it again. He stretched his gloves tightly, and Zhu Jue also stepped out.

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his body, Zhu Jue walked at the end of the team. He did not rush towards the building like them, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Zhu Jue noticed the load-bearing steel frame under the main building of the scientific research station. This was probably built to lift the building off the ground. It was normally about three meters high, but at this time, the left half of it had collapsed, and large masses of ice and snow were accumulating. Where.

The right half is still intact, so the scientific research station is currently tilted as a whole.

"Crushed by ice and snow, the first-class materials are indeed no ordinary snowstorm."

His eyes turned to the ice and snow on the top of the building that had not yet melted and the large number of scratches on the surface, and he already had some suspicions in his mind.

At this moment, Zhu Jue suddenly raised his head and looked at the window outside the scientific research station. Under the sunlight, there was a bright light flashing there just a second ago.

An insider at the scientific research station?

This was the first possibility that Zhu Jue thought of.

"Captain, this door can't be opened. It seems to be locked. Try to contact the person inside and ask him to help open the door. Hello! Is anyone there?"

Mengsk stood at the main entrance on a ladder that was a little crooked due to the collapse of the main building to check the condition of the door.

After several attempts to open the door using the ID card from the Archaeological Association, all failed, so I had to turn around and ask Thompson to contact the people inside first.

However, no matter whether it was a communicator or a human voice, there was no response after nearly 5 minutes of contact.

Everyone in the rescue team quickly realized that something was wrong. Mengsk no longer thought about asking the people inside to open the door, but started to open the door from the outside.

"how long?"

Thompson frowned and asked Mengsk, who was holding a palm-sized electronic screen in his hand.

"The defense systems here are all newly installed. It is very troublesome to crack. Even with the internal data of the Archaeological Association, it is estimated that it will take twenty minutes. We don't have hackers here. With my level, I can only do this step."

Mengsk's professional ability and password cracking skills barely overlap, and now he can only proceed step by step.

"We don't have that much time. There is a seriously injured person at the window of the scientific research station. He may not last 20 minutes."

On the other side, Zhu Jue, who was holding the gap between the window edge with two fingers of one hand and hanging more than five meters above the ground, stood up to check the situation inside the window and said in a deep voice to them.

After learning that the door could not be opened, Zhu Jue immediately ran to the window where he had just noticed something strange and jumped up to check the situation.

Behind the window is a dying man shaking a piece of glass in his hand, trying to attract others' attention by reflecting sunlight!

"Violent break in!"

After looking at Zhu Jue's position, Thompson was also a decisive person and was about to go back to the snowmobile to get the tools.

"No need, just back off."

Zhu Jue didn't plan to wait for them to find any tools. He directly grabbed Mengsk's shoulder straps squatting on the stairs and lifted them up.

"This door is the latest product. It can't be opened even by a small explosion. It needs a special one."

Mengsk stepped back and warned. Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Jue drawing his knife and raising his hand.

Clang!

He cut off the connection between the building and the external stairs with one knife, turned over and fell back to the snow, inserted the Mikazuki sword into the snow, grabbed the nearly ton-weight staircase with both hands and pulled it to where the window next to it was.

Zhu Jue knew very well how strong this kind of door was, so he never thought about breaking it from the beginning. It wasn't that it couldn't be done, but there was no need to waste so much time.

The window next to it can't be as strong as the door, right?

"Is this okay?"

The rescue team members stood there and looked at the marks on the ground plowed by the steel steps. Burris swallowed and his eyes fell on the man with an unchanging expression.

With the three-meter-high ladder as a leverage point, the rest was much easier. I found something from the side and stacked it up by more than half a meter.

The Mikazuki sword was inserted into the gap where the window met, and it was easily pried open and removed.

Jumping into the scientific research station first, Zhu Jue glanced at the messy scene around him, but his eyes still fell on the man who was leaning on the table, his waist and abdomen stained red with dark red blood.

"Save people. Save people."

Repeating these two words, the lens in his hand was shaking.
