Chapter 74 [UEP-008] under the ice (Update 1010, please subscribe!)

Polar Scientific Exploration Station【Montgas】UEP-Temporary Station Base

The cold wind blows on this vast white expanse of ice,

Viewed from a high altitude, this building transformed from a polar research station seems to be the only drop of ink on a piece of white paper.

A group of figures in dark uniforms slowly walked out of the temporary base.

They are fully armed and equipped with lightweight powered exoskeletons with cold-resistant modules to collect and analyze surrounding environment information in real time. They also have highly integrated tactical helmets.

The translucent reinforced resin mask blocks the cold wind, and the exhaled hot air does not leave a trace of fog in the mask treated with a special process, keeping the field of vision clear.

Accompanying it are several pieces of mechanical engineering equipment carried by polar transport platforms.

And the reason why they appear at the northernmost point of the planet, in such a harsh and extreme environment,

It was because a few days ago, the monitoring satellite in the extraterrestrial synchronous orbit accidentally captured a mysterious signal when passing through the North Pole orbit range.

It was a chaotic signal mixed with noisy noises and strange low sounds, and it was impossible to discern its specific meaning.

But if you analyze it rationally and think about it, you will discover a terrible fact:

Because no one will have nothing to do and use high-power long-wave transmitting radars in the most extreme and harsh geographical locations of the planet to continuously transmit such seemingly worthless and disordered signals into outer space.

You know, except for some scientific research stations and local ecological animals, there is nothing of value in the Arctic.

So, there is only one explanation:

Sure enough, it was either the Adventists hiding on Earth who were summoning aliens, or the aliens who were summoning their companions.

A technician who was responsible for monitoring the status of the satellite and checking the cruise diary was shocked when he discovered this strange record.

Countless classic movie plots flashed in my mind, including alien invasion of the earth, human traitors, and the Virgin Spy.

"At first, people didn't care..."

He also realized that this was a great opportunity for him to soar into the sky. He immediately contacted the highest leader he could contact, his immediate boss.

In less than twenty-four hours, the technician on duty was taken into a small dark room.

A long confidential conversation was held and a thick confidentiality agreement was signed.

The perspective turns back to the North Pole. This UEP anomaly exploration team code-named [Arctic Fox] is heading towards the target location.

Inside the tactical helmet, a holographic projection route is clearly displayed, as well as a three-dimensional environment map that is constantly enlarged by signs.

The active phased array radar in the airborne transportation platform continuously shares and updates the scanned tactical information to each team member's terminal in real time.

〈2457 meters remaining from the target location〉

…

On the desolate pale plain, all that blows in the face is endless loneliness,

Perhaps I was tortured by this silent journey and felt a little bored.

The team's "assault" and chatty Verte Valenta began to use the private channel to chat with his companions.

"Guys, this mission is really boring..."

"I recently met a netizen who introduced and recommended a very interesting large-scale RPG open world game to me..."

"Why don't you say anything? Do you not like it?"

Perhaps because he was a little annoyed by Vit Valenta's thoughts, another team member, Kari Wuerl, couldn't help but speak,

"Witt! I really want to sew your never-ending mouth shut with a needle! If you don't speak, you will die, right?"

"I really should have used an RPG to send you and that damn giant python to meet God instead of saving you when I was operating in the Amazon rainforest last time!"

As if a sore spot had been poked, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Verte Valenta's face, but he still curled his lips.

"Who would have thought that that python would suddenly jump out of the pond and grow so long...it almost didn't bite me..."

"Witt, when you complained about not being selected for the [Spartan Transformation Project], I just wanted to say that sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself."

Faced with many of his companions pointing the finger at him, Werther Valenta felt uncomfortable and immediately changed the subject.

"Perhaps we should pay more attention to the team led by Dennis. It is said that the PS-12 satellite over there detected an unknown heat source in Area 14 of Antarctica, which is similar to the situation here, so they were sent to Antarctica for survey. I hope they are well transport."

"After all, they can't really encounter alien ruins or something, right..."

The captain, Henry Thomas, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this moment,

"Okay, stop arguing, we are about to reach our destination. I don't want the previous unexpected situation to happen again in our team. Everyone is on alert!"

As the captain leading the team, Henry Thomas' words were naturally very weighty, and soon there was no chatter in the communication channel.

The two-kilometer journey was not too far, and they soon reached their destination.

But what is puzzling is that there is nothing here, only hard ice and accumulated snow.

The airborne transport platform behind him also slowly moved to the calculated position under the control of the operator.

"Buzz——"

The sound of fine mechanical clenching echoed through the space where the cold wind was whistling. Everyone's eyes were burning, looking nervously at the operating drilling equipment.

〈Current drilling depth: 12.4 meters〉

〈No void structure detected〉

〈Current drilling depth: 39.7 meters〉

〈Current drilling depth:……〉

Just when the exploration drill bit kept going downwards, but all the way was smooth and without any abnormality,

"Click——"

The harsh cracking sound began to sound and became sharper,

At this moment, a scarlet warning pop-up window popped up on the holographic interface in front of everyone:

\u003cwarn! warn! warn! 〉

\u003cThe ice is collapsing! The platform has lost its focus, please leave the fallen area immediately...〉

"Shet!"

Witte Valenta looked at the ice that suddenly spread and cracked around him, and his whole body felt numb.

But before they could leave the collapse area marked by the intelligent program, the ground beneath their feet collapsed first.

The ice cracked, and a bottomless rift suddenly appeared, "swallowing" cutting-edge equipment worth millions of dollars along with some [Arctic Fox] members, and fell into the abyss.

…

Time passed slowly. When Verte Valenta opened his eyes again, his eyes were covered by an icy blue world, but he soon became excited.

"Gift Crab! Thank God! I'm still alive! I'm still alive!"

Pushing away the broken ice pressing on himself, Verte Valenta raised his head and looked into the deep gap, shrugging helplessly.

"It seems we can only wait patiently for rescue."

Immediately, he began to inspect the exoskeleton armor on his body.

Fortunately, the life support equipment and thermostat system were not damaged by the fall and impact, and the most important communication module was not destroyed either.

Confirming that there was nothing wrong with his current situation, Verte Valenta walked curiously in this vast underground cavity while constantly trying to contact his companions above.

Perhaps due to fate, the slippery ice surface made Werther Valenta involuntarily slip his feet, and he fell towards a deep and twisting ice cave.

After the swaying collision, Werther, who was slumped on the ground, shook his already dizzy head.

But when he focused his eyes again, he found a terrifying, huge and strange mechanical head less than 1 meter away from him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

He was so frightened that he crawled and moved backwards. After a moment, Verte Valenta confirmed a fact,

The seemingly dead alien monster in front of him seemed to be frozen and unable to move.

This made him bold again, he stepped forward and knocked,

"Click——"

The cracking sound in his ears made Verte Valenta break out in a cold sweat, but after careful identification, he only found that it was coming from an ice pile behind him that was buried in rubble.

Feeling unhappy, he kicked the ice pile.

"哐——"

"Ohhhhh, ss--"

Even though he was wearing alloy leg armor, Verte Valenta still felt a numbness.

But he soon realized something was wrong, and immediately squatted down and dug through the pile of rubble.

But he saw a red, white and blue shield embedded in the ice, and the familiar star in the center.

"watt?!"
