Pollution throughout the territory

Early the next morning, Professor Qin led the team to speed up.

Last night's good news put the team members in a state of excitement. The team that had been working hard for a month was revitalized. The stiff expressions on everyone's faces seemed to melt overnight, and everyone showed a happy smile.

The current atmosphere of the entire team is no different from that of a group of huskies.

Everything seems to be getting better. Counting the time, the rescue team organized by the Supreme Alliance Government has already set off for half a month. They will follow the traces of the scientific research team and repair the damaged communication base stations along the way. It won't take long. They can join the scientific research team and at the same time gain contact with the outside world.

Thinking about the relatives I haven't seen for more than a month, even the surrounding climate doesn't seem so bad.

The only person who remains absolutely calm now is probably Xia Ren.

He also wanted to be happy with everyone, but when he thought about the history he knew, the sound of wind whistling in his ears was as urgent as urging him to die, which made him feel depressed.

"Husband, you don't seem happy. Are you feeling unwell?"

In fact, Lanaya had noticed his mood changes since last night.

"It's okay, it's just that the wind makes it a bit uncomfortable."

Xia Ren smiled and concealed it.

"let me see……"

There was no warmth in the hands in the cold wind. Lanaya said as she pulled up her and Xia Ren's hats a little, and then put their foreheads together, with the tips of their noses touching.

Xia Ren's heart trembled.

"It's okay, I was scared to death."

Lanaya's confused and frightened expression left Xia Ren's forehead.

The warmth she had left on Xia Ren's body was instantly blown away by the biting wind.

Just as a mirage appeared again in the distance, a huge city floated in the sky, with vehicles and pedestrians faintly visible between the buildings.

In this white world made of endless ice and snow, the appearance of the city seemed very abrupt, as if two different worlds overlapped. Those tall buildings with a strong sense of science and technology made Xia Ren and the others feel extremely... kind.

At the edge of the city, a golden light appears, which is the original warm color of the sun. It is not as dim and cold as under the ice clouds, and the beauty is a bit unreal.

"I really want to sit down and have another barbecue together..."

Lanaya looked at the mirage with longing on her face.

Xia Ren looked at her side face, took his hand and held it tightly.

"Will do."

he promised.

"Damn it, you two are abusing the dog again!"

Wen Yan next to him saw this scene and said angrily.

Lanaya is the only woman in the team. Due to her proper maintenance, her appearance and figure are not ordinary. With Xia Ren around, they will not have any evil thoughts, but they are just concerned about the two people's often silly behavior. He would pretend to be dissatisfied and make some harmless jokes, which was one of the few entertainments in the team.

The others all opened their mouths and laughed, but did not care. They were amusing themselves and deliberately asked the two of them what they were doing in the tent at night, which made Lanaya lower her head shyly and raised her fist to hit Xia Ren to vent her anger.

The huskies were running in front of them like children, pulling everyone on the sled to unknown...dangerous places.

…

…

When it was getting dark, they finally saw what the scientific research team had said was a huge glacier. This place was once a vast sea, but now it was covered by vast expanse of ice, turning it into an eternal pale land.

Strong winds shuttled through the gaps in the blue glaciers, like the whimpering of buried creatures in distant time.

Under the command of Professor Qin, they pitched their tents in the snow hundreds of meters away from the glacier and spent a restless night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the team continued to move forward. Everyone else could clearly see Professor Qin's urgency, and he was getting closer and closer to his wife, biologist Qu Langzhi.

They spent two days going around the glacier, and what appeared in front of the team was a mountain range that subverted everyone's knowledge!

In comparison, Xia Ren simply felt that the description given by the scientific research team a few days ago was too conservative!

Everyone looked at this behemoth in the sky and earth, and was stunned by the shock. Compared with it, human beings are as insignificant as dust.

Xia Ren even had the illusion that this was the end of the world.

But what's more amazing is not the mountain range.

They have indeed arrived at the center of the Wuji Icefield. Above the mountains, the everlasting ice clouds are swirling and slowly flowing.

They can't tell how big this vortex is, but at least it should be clearly visible on satellite images. However, for some reason, even though humans have launched thousands of satellites so far, no one has captured such a scene.

This is a miracle that science cannot explain. Professor Qin looked at it from a distance and couldn't help but guess what kind of magnificent power could create such a wonder.

The team members all picked up their mobile phones to take photos, including Ranaya.

They are one of the few people on Blue Star who can see such a scene with their own eyes. If it were reported back to the outside world, they might not know how much of a sensation it would cause.

"Be patient a little longer, and we'll be able to join the scientific research team in two days!"

In the evening, everyone gathered in the tent, and Professor Qin made an exception and asked the team to set up camp half an hour early.

They could already see the mountains clearly, but there was still a long way to go.

At this moment, the scientific research team sent another text message to exchange information with them:

"Yesterday our plane returned and successfully discovered more valuable things. Flying over the mountains on the edge, we saw some peaks deeper. Although the naked eye observation may not be accurate, I still want to say, The height of the main body of those peaks is even higher than Mount Maya, the highest mountain in the world!

The initial flight was not smooth. All the mountain tops were pitch black and there was no snow cover. There were strong winds blowing in the valleys, making it difficult to find a landing point. Just when we were about to have no choice but to return, we finally found a hilly area. , landed there.

The peaks here are layered, and the Cambrian rock formations may have been mixed with other rock formations. The outline of the peaks against the sky is a bit strange, with many regular cubic sections surrounding the highest peak, and even the entire ridge is in a huge square shape. Blocky, but the hillside is almost vertical, and it looks like some kind of huge building complex. This makes Kleiman even more convinced of the existence of prehistoric intelligent creatures - he has had this idea since yesterday - what a madman !

We got off the plane and found schist suspected to be from the Permian and Triassic periods on an exposed rock surface, which was later deduced to be hard slate coal. This discovery frustrated Clayman, who had been anticipating this exploration. The fossil specimens excavated should be at least 500 million years old.

We then discovered a cave under the hills. The rock and sand beside the cave actually contained some Paleogene limestone dating back 23 million years ago. The rock layers were filled with various small fossils, including Cephalopods, corals, sea urchins, etc., occasionally mixed with skeletal remains similar to siliceous sponges and marine vertebrates. This is the first time we have unearthed marine vertebrate fossils, and this is just at the entrance of the cave. Kleiman, a madman, desperately wanted to enter the cave, but I forcibly stopped him. Since the landing point was not chosen well, and it was almost night time, the fierce cold wind blew at the entrance of the cave, making a creepy and weird sound. If we did not return as soon as possible, with the small amount of equipment we carried, we would most likely freeze to death here. .

We are making some adjustments and plan to set off again tomorrow, this time carrying camp materials and setting up a station there to facilitate subsequent research. The exploration work has gone smoothly so far. I look forward to your arrival and to reconnecting with the outside world. "
