Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 536 Crazy Mountains

   It took two full days for the blizzard to calm down again. At the same time, the plane piloted by the maid finally appeared on the other side of the horizon.

   "Hoo......"

  Seeing the maid who finally arrived, Duanmu Huai was also relieved, so he came out in a hurry. This time the maid just rented a light ten-seater transport plane. Although it wasn't too big, it was enough for Duanmu Huai and others. After arriving at the scientific research station and carrying out a round of supplies, Duanmu Huai found Dr. Palmer and indicated that they would leave the scientific research station next.

"this………"

   I have to say that although Professor Palmer was mentally prepared for Duanmuhuai's request, he was still a little surprised. After all, this is the South Pole, not to mention that Duanmuhuai wants to take Mary with him. To be honest, he really doesn't understand what adventure there is in taking such a girl to the depths of the South Pole.

   This is not some primitive forest scenery exploration.

   "Although we did have something to say beforehand, my dear sir, I still don't understand what you are trying to do when you come to Antarctica this time..."

   "Professor Palmer, do you think that some things should never be excavated, and it is better to disappear completely in this world?"

"This... I'm not sure, I haven't encountered a similar situation so far, not to mention that in our line of work, the purpose is to rediscover those things that once disappeared in this world and show them to the world, right? "

   "Maybe, maybe not, of course, if it's just weathered stone, then there's no problem."

   Duanmuhuai shrugged.

   "Uh, so you mean there's more than just rocks down here?"

"hehe………"

  Facing Professor Palmer's question, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

   "Don't worry, even if it's not now, I assure you, it will be soon."

   "???"

  After making the schedule, Duanmuhuai and his party took a plane and set off again soon, heading for the depths of Antarctica.

  At the beginning, the climate was relatively stable and the weather was fine. Mary was wearing a thick coat, sitting on a chair, and staring at the snow below. When she woke up before, she told Duanmu Huai about her dream, and the latter also told her that this was the reason why the spirits of Mary and Xia Li were resonating. If this is the case, then it means that they did not have a dream this time. Wrong place.

   In other words, is Charlie really here?

  Mary clenched her fists and stared at the snow field below. She could see a large group of penguins swaying. Normally, she would have cheered for it, but now her face is only full of sadness, nervousness, anticipation and even anxiety.

  However, it didn't take long before the shadows enveloped the land, and the unexpected blizzard roared again, and the strong winds made the plane sway up and down like a bumpy boat in the waves.

   "Me, what shall we do next, sir?"

  Holding the handrail next to her tightly, Mary asked uneasily, it was the first time she had experienced such a strong storm in the air, and it felt as if her whole body would be sucked into the whirlwind and fall to the ground.

   "Don't worry, it's just a trivial matter, what's the rush."

Duanmuhuai seemed rather calm. If he was an ordinary investigator, then he might have to choose to make a forced landing at this time, and then pass a survival test. Maybe he would have to camp and repair... But he doesn't need to be so troublesome. Just kidding, he is a **** of destruction, if he still uses such an old-fashioned method, then it is too bad.

   At this time, it should be......

  Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai clenched his cane tightly, stared at the front, and gave a low drink.

"snort!!"

   "—————!"

The moment she heard Duanmuhuai's low growl, Mary felt as if she heard a series of roaring thunderclaps, so that she subconsciously covered her ears. At the same time, she saw the dark clouds ahead At this moment, it was like being hit by some invisible roaring air current, and it suddenly became clear, just in the blink of an eye, the wind stopped blowing, the rain stopped falling, and the sky cleared up.

   "Well... I don't think my move is much worse than Guleya's Dragon Roar."

  Duanmu Huai moved his head, looked at the sunny weather again, and nodded in satisfaction, then he glanced at the system prompt in front of him.

  【Initiate a deterrent against the 'Blizzard'... The deterrence is successful】

  【'Blizzard' changed to 'Sunny'】

  【Climate change success】

  “………………”

   Well, how should I say it? As long as it works, nothing else matters.

  Not long after the dark clouds dissipated, a huge mountain range stood in front of everyone like a city wall. Without Duanmu Huai giving an order, the maid had already pulled up the nose and flew towards the top of the hillside. It was as if they had crossed a series of stone waves, and the next moment, the scene on the other side of the waves was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

   It was an almost endless, neat megalithic building, a maze built by square arcs and angular boulders. Their buildings are far taller and older than humans can imagine. If there are scientific researchers coming along, they will be shocked just by seeing this scene, but to Duanmuhuai, this does not represent a new discovery that shocked the world, nor is it a part worthy of attention , On the contrary, this just represents a destination for them.

   That's all.

   "Can you feel it? Where is Charlie?"

Duanmuhuai just took a glance and looked away, looked at Mary and asked, and hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the latter also recovered from the shock of looking at the huge and shocking black city in front of him, Then she closed her eyes, fell silent for a moment, and stretched out her hand to point forward.

   "It should be over there, I have a feeling..."

   "Okay, let's go."

The plane passed the mountains and entered the dark and huge city. The whole city was dead silent, without any sound. The sun shone on these strange, distorted stone buildings to create phantoms that seemed to be writhing for a while, which made people feel uncomfortable. A disgusting living thing.

  Then, the plane gradually landed in the shadows on a huge, half-collapsed, like the entrance of a huge temple. Duanmu Huai pushed open the cabin door and strode off the plane. Mary and Lorena followed him down. Then Duanmuhuai gave an order to the maid.

   "Keep hovering and wait for my order."

   "Okay, master."

  After listening to Duanmuhuai's words, the maid nodded, then started the plane again and flew into the sky again, while Mary stared blankly at the surrounding cities, as if she had fallen into a trance. It wasn't until Duanmuhuai patted her on the head that the girl woke up from that strange confusion.

   "Okay, let's go."

   "Ah, yes."

   I have to say that walking in such a city is really a very strange experience. Mary held a flashlight, stepped on the snow under her feet, and looked around. Completely unfamiliar murals, completely unfamiliar buildings, and words that have never been learned before, all these gave Mary an illusion, as if she was on a cold alien planet, walking in a city built by alien races ...

   "Woo..."

   A sense of dizziness came, causing Mary to lower her head involuntarily, while Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and patted her on the back.

   "Don't pay too much attention to these things, don't take them too seriously, no matter what these things are, they are just a pile of garbage now."

"yes………"

   "By the way, how about I tell you an interesting little story."

  Perhaps it was too boring to walk here. There were only footsteps and the light of the flashlight in the dark ruins. Lorena and Mary didn't speak. This made Duanmu Huai feel a little boring, so he opened up the conversation.

   "Tell you how the owner of this place became extinct. You will find it very interesting."

   "Huh? Mr. Knight, do you even know this?"

"real??"

   Sure enough, when they heard Duanmuhuai's words, both of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately cheered up. And Duanmuhuai also nodded, and continued talking to them.

"A long, long time ago, when there were no humans on this planet, a group of alien races called the ancients came to this planet. This group of ancients... how should I put it, they are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, let's put it this way, They can shuttle back and forth between the stars and the universe, from one planet to another without any tools..."

   "So powerful? If only I had this ability..."

  Hearing this, Lorena immediately showed a yearning expression, but Mary was stunned.

   "Then... why did these ancients come to this planet?"

"I don't know. It's probably a vacation. You see, it's human nature to find a place to escape the summer heat when your home is too hot, or to find a place to spend the winter when your home is too cold? Then they come When I got here, I felt that the climate here was good, so I stayed here.”

   “……the weather is nice???”

  Mary looked around suspiciously.

   "Back then, back then, it must not work now."

   Duanmu Huai laughed and waved his hands.

"Then, the climate here was so good at that time, so these ancient people felt that living here was too comfortable, oops, I didn't want to leave, and then millions of years passed... You all know that the ice age or something Here we come, the weather is starting to get colder, and the ancients want to leave right now... Unfortunately, they can't leave."

   "Huh? Why??"

   Lorena asked curiously.

"Oh, it's very simple. They have been at ease for too long, their body functions have degraded, and they have lost the ability to shuttle back and forth between universes, which means that they can only be trapped on this planet and die without There is no way to find other planets, so they can only stay here to starve and freeze, and finally a little trouble happened, so they are extinct."

   Having said this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

   "How about being born in sorrow and dying in peace? Isn't it interesting?"

   "Indeed, you can't neglect exercise!"

  Hearing this, Lorena clenched her fists vigorously, nodded, with a deeply approving expression on her face. And Mary looked at this, looked at that, to be honest, she was full of question marks, but... this should be just a story made up by Mr. Duanmu, right?

   After all, according to what he said, this was before even human beings were born. How did he know?

   Now it's all about sweating, coughing and a little bit of a burn...
