Indescribable cyberpunk

Bullet holes the size of fingertips fell into the wall, and fine cracks were scattered around. If you look closer, you can still faintly smell the residual smell of gunpowder.

"There is only one bullet hole on this wall, and no other bullet holes can be found nearby. This means that the shooter only fired one shot. This height is about two meters. There is no blood on the ground. There is no doubt that , this was a warning shot.”

Burris rubbed the bullet hole with his fingers, compared the height with his own body, and then said,

"I have reason to believe that other armed personnel besides the scientific expedition members may have appeared in the scientific research station, and there are quite a few of them!"

There must be weapons stored inside the scientific research station in accordance with the regulations, and no gunfight broke out here, which means that one party chose to compromise in a short period of time.

The winning party obviously cannot be the scientific expedition team, otherwise someone should have opened the door for them just now.

Zhu Jue leaned forward, holding a fixed counter in the area that was tilted up due to the angle with his palms, but his eyes were looking at the employee ID photos on the wall.

There are 5 people in a row, 3 rows in total.

In other words, there should be 15 permanent personnel at this scientific research site.

"His injury is very serious. It should have been caused by a dagger, and it was located in the abdomen. Fortunately, he knew some self-rescue methods, otherwise he would have died long ago. I am not sure whether the internal organs were injured. I have to rely on professional medical equipment to check. He is now He fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and mental relaxation. There are medical equipment at the scientific research station, but it will still take some time to wake him up."

The injured person was laid horizontally on a sofa next to him. Although the sofa was actually in a tilted state, it was obviously more convenient for Emma to treat his wounds compared to the previous state.

"Can the data in the database be restored? This is very important. All the research results of the scientific expedition team in the recent period are in it!"

Rachel and Mengsk were leaning against the ground in a horse-like posture, stabilizing their bodies while checking the data in the computer. According to the latter, the computer had been tampered with, and some of the data had disappeared. .

"The excavation equipment, mental protection devices and some explosives in the warehouse are missing!"

Thompson turned out of the nearby corridor with an ugly expression, attracted everyone's attention and then continued,

"Now we have only found one person, and there are no other corpses in the scientific research station. According to the current situation analysis, someone should have arrived here earlier than us. The time should be last night. If we had known that such an accident would happen, we should have rushed all night. come over."

These words were largely made out of frustration. Everyone present knew that even if they traveled all night, they would arrive at the scientific research station about five hours in advance at most, and they still could not stop what happened here. At most, they could make it happen. This injured person will have less blood.

"Last night's snowstorm destroyed all traces of the outside world. We have only two ways to find those people. The first is to wake up the unconscious gentleman, and the second is to restore the data in the computer, and this takes time. We The most lacking thing now is time!”

Burris stopped studying the bullet holes, turned around and said.

Although they are very reluctant, the rescue team can only wait at this moment. This is deep in the interior of Greenland, surrounded by a large number of glaciers and dangerous areas. They rush out to search in case of a head-on encounter with those who raid the scientific research station. Not only can you not save anyone, but you can also get yourself involved.

This wait lasted until 7pm.

After nearly 4 hours of waiting, the computer data has still not been repaired. After all, Mengsk is just a repairman. There is no problem in letting him repair computers or other electronic equipment, but it is really difficult for him to repair such information files. .

The good news is that the injured man successfully revived under Emma's care, and Thompson and others unexpectedly discovered some useful information when searching the entire scientific research station.

A notebook found in a drawer in the bedroom should be the diary of a certain researcher. The focus is not on the contents of the diary, but on several photos sealed with blackened film plastic bags sandwiched between the pages.

"That's what we found. Pay attention to your spirit. Don't forget to wear a spiritual protection device. It's an ultra-ancient existence!"

The pale-faced researcher leaned on the sofa, just glanced at the photo held in Thompson's hand, then looked away as quickly as possible, and then reminded him.

Zhu Jue didn't have time to wait, so he pulled the photo into his hand and looked at the contents.

The photo should have been taken under a certain glacier. At first glance, it looked like a somewhat dirty ice wall. However, when everyone concentrated, they discovered that there was something weird-looking in the ice wall.

Not one or two such things, but nearly ten!

"What kind of creature is this? Can such a creature exist on earth?"

Mengsk's voice trembled a little when he spoke. He stared at the creatures in the ice wall, only looked at them for about 6 seconds, and then stepped back to prevent himself from continuing to look directly at their existence.

The other people were in a similar state. Although they were wearing mental protection devices and their hue values ​​would not increase too fast, they still followed the human instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. They only took a few glances and chose to avoid it. Only Zhu Jue was the one. The person held the photo and examined it carefully.

The overall shape of the thing inside the ice wall is like a huge spindle-shaped barrel, about three meters high.

There are starfish-shaped appendages on the top and bottom of the "big barrel". The five-pointed star appendage on the top has five round things. Zhu Jue guessed that they are their eyes, and the five-pointed star appendage on the bottom is similar to a shell. The axe-like legs were probably used for walking and other forms of locomotion.

In addition to these, they possess five pairs of leathery wings and five sets of tentacles sprouting from the main body.

It is another kind of spiritual pollution source monster that has never been seen before, but it is somewhat similar to the great race in the illusion that was seen in the hotel in Tacoma City before.

Stuffing the photo back into the plastic bag, Zhu Jue thought with a somewhat complicated mood.

"Those people came outside the scientific research station in the snowstorm last night. We thought they were a support team and opened the door for them. Unexpectedly, after they entered, they took out their weapons and forced us to take them to the ancient ruins."

"The snowstorm last night was probably not a normal snowstorm, right?"

Zhu Jue did not ask about the situation inside the ice wall. He was now more concerned about where the initiator of the blizzard was. After thinking about it, he asked again,

"You lost contact with the Archaeological Association a long time ago, and the attack only happened last night. What happened before that?"

"Yes, compared to those attackers, the scientific research station actually faced more serious problems. On the day we discovered the ancient ruins, something focused on our communication antenna outside that night. They were completely destroyed in the blizzard. These are not important. The most important thing now is to stop those people. They want to seize something in the ancient ruins. They must be stopped!"

The researcher described the situation intermittently, and in the end, the topic inevitably turned to other people in the rescue scientific expedition team.

"Yes, save the people first. This is the most important thing. Tell us the address and we will rush there right away!"

It really doesn't make much sense to dwell on what happened in the past now. Once everyone is rescued, we can naturally discuss it slowly.

Get an exact address from him.

The group set off again.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere on the way here, everyone on this trip had solemn looks on their faces.

"Rachel, Emma, ​​if a fight breaks out, don't get out of the car. Once danger arises, remember to retreat immediately, pick up the people in the scientific expedition team, and return to the Archaeological Association!"

Thompson's voice came from the communicator.

According to the original plan, both women were to stay at the scientific research station, but Emma joined the team on the grounds that she was a doctor and could provide on-site first aid, while Rachel said that if the site was safe, she would be the first to do so. Time goes by to confirm the condition of the ancient ruins and ensure that this great discovery is not destroyed.

Because they were in a hurry, the speed of the three snowmobiles was increased to the extreme. The glacier where the ancient ruins were located was not far from the scientific research station. About 10 minutes later, Zhu Jue could vaguely see the glacier crack ahead. The light that emanates.

"parking!"

At this time, it is naturally impossible to drive the car directly to the side, which is equivalent to actively exposing the position.

The four men got off the bus two hundred meters away from the ancient ruins.

"I'll go over first to check on the situation. You guys can follow up slowly."

Zhu Jue really didn't want to waste time, so he took the three-month sword and ran away at a speed that was unbelievable in the eyes of others.

The location of the ancient ruins is easy to distinguish because it is located deep in the glacier. In order to facilitate research, the scientific research station specially built a simple lifting device there. There are also several snowmobiles and other vehicles parked around it. Zhu Jue deliberately avoided the mechanical equipment and chose to go around from a location farther to the right.

However, when Zhu Jue was only ten meters away from the ruins, the smell of blood floating in the air made him frown subconsciously, and he had an ominous premonition about the situation of the researchers at the scientific research station.

Facts have proved that Zhu Jue's hunch was not wrong.

When he stood at the edge of the ice pit, he immediately saw corpses lying on the ground seven or eight meters below his feet.

Without the slightest hesitation, he drew out the Mikazuki Taishou and took a step forward, landing suddenly.

The rich smell of blood assaulted Zhu Jue's sense of smell almost all the time. A large pool of blood condensed on the surface. Zhu Jue walked around by relying on the light of the supposed searchlights on all sides.

He saw fear and panic on every face.

"It's really a slow step to silence your mouth."

The tip of the knife touched the ground, Zhu Jue felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't because of the dead people, he was sure of this. The deaths of these strangers could no longer arouse waves in his heart.

It was something else that struck him as odd, perhaps even a little unsettling.

Until he turned to where the ice wall was in the photo he had seen before.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Existences that should have been frozen.

Nearly half missing

There will be another chapter later
