Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 804

With only five days of food left, everyone needs to survive for three months?

Eat grass?

The problem is that there is no grass in this damn place!

It seems that we can only make decisions from those armed men.

But that could be an uphill battle.

I hope that the armed men who come over are not particularly professional. When encountering professionally trained armed men with thermal imaging cameras and the like, it will be difficult for Li Teng to ambush them.

We can only bet that the ones sent here are ordinary security personnel.

This possibility is not impossible.

After all, there are only some unarmed experimenters here who have no combat effectiveness.

If the other party wants to control the laboratory, it can just send some ordinary security personnel with a few pistols. There is no need to send professional armed personnel.

After a comprehensive analysis, Li Teng decided to find a suitable place to dig a bunker near the laboratory, and then he hid in it with a communicator. In case the laboratory was attacked, the three women immediately reported Give him the signal and he will cover up quietly to rescue them.

Li Teng was busy until dark before he dug the bunker.

While Li Teng was digging the bunker, he asked the three women to carefully inspect the helicopter wreckage.

I want to find some canned food in the wreckage that may not have been burned.

While Cui Yunxi was inspecting the helicopter wreckage, he kept looking anxiously into the distance.

Her Erha, her pet named "Mao Mao", disappeared in the previous helicopter crash and explosion and has never come back.

The three women's search turned up nothing.

What made them very angry was that the previous supplies, meat and the like were packaged in cans, so there was a high chance of surviving the explosion.

But this time, all the food supplies delivered were in bags. The helicopter carried the gasoline for the return trip. It burned violently after being attacked, and almost all the supplies were burned while it was in the air.

That night, Li Teng did not go back to the laboratory to sleep. He stayed in the bunker all night wearing thick clothes.

…

A peaceful night together.

When I left the bunker the next morning, something happened.

The blizzard is coming!

The annual snowstorm that lasts for more than two months seems to arrive a few days earlier than expected.

Li Teng escaped back to the laboratory while the blizzard was not too severe.

Not long after Li Teng returned to the laboratory, the snowstorm became violent.

A snowstorm of this level lasting for more than two months means that the people trapped in the laboratory will not be able to get any supplies for nearly three months.

It also means... that the mysterious forces that want to attack them can't send people over to kill them.

But this is not good news for Li Teng.

He hoped to ambush and rob the armed men, obtain some useful materials and weapons, and even ask them about their starting point, and take their transportation to fight back.

All this was in vain.

Probably the director and screenwriter had already taken Li Teng's strength into consideration and did not give him such a chance to fight back.

"We are finally safe." Daisy breathed a sigh of relief as she looked out the window at the blizzard that was so fierce that she couldn't see anything.

"Is it safe? I think we are dead." Anna was not happy at all.

"Yeah, I'm going to starve to death." Daisy also thought of this.

"My Maomao...where did it go? It's so cold that it will definitely not come back. I'm afraid it's already..." Cui Yunxi looked very disappointed.

The others glanced at her, probably thinking that they wouldn't survive, and they were still thinking about the Erha.

"Well, if it's here, it can at least give us a few more days of rations." Cui Yunxi sighed and added a few more words.

…

Li Teng gathered all the food in the laboratory together, including Anna's dozen white mice.

After some calculations, even if control measures are implemented and each person only eats one meal a day, they can only last less than a month.

It is impossible to survive three months.

Unless additional supplies or a better solution are found.

After the blizzard came, the solar panels and wind power plants were almost useless, and the energy supply was only a month's worth of gasoline.

"Can some cabins in the laboratory be closed? Only a small number of cabins can be left so that the gasoline can last for three months?" Li Teng asked Cui Yunxi.

"No, the heating system only has two modes: on and off. If you want to save gasoline consumption, you can only lower the temperature to the lowest temperature, but this can only extend the use time for half a month." Cui Yunxi said After calculation, Li Teng answered.

"In order to ensure survival, from now on, gasoline will only be used in the heating system. The heating system will adjust the temperature to the lowest level and all other projects will be stopped." Li Teng announced to the three women.

No one had any objection.

…

Surprisingly, at noon, an alarm suddenly came from the communication room, indicating that an abnormal channel call was coming in.

Everyone rushed to the communication room together, and Cui Yunxi connected the communication equipment.

A changed man's voice appeared inside.

"You have lost supplies and lost contact with the outside world. You must be desperate now, right?" the man spoke.

"Who are you?" Anna picked up the intercom and asked the man.

"Ana, you don't have to worry about who I am. If you want to live, just do as I say and we can make a deal." The man proposed to Anna.

He obviously knew the lab well enough to at least recognize Anna's voice.

"What do you want?" Anna asked warily.

"Of course it's the hibernation technology you have mastered." The man answered Anna.

"The hibernation technology I have in hand has not been tested on humans. It has only been tested on white mice. It does not have much practical value." Anna rejected the man.

Daisy and Cui Yunxi seemed a little dissatisfied with Anna's answer and wanted to say something, but Anna shook her head at them.

"Haha, Anna, don't lie. I know everything you have done. I know you not only conducted human experiments, but also the experiments were successful. I need all your information, and I will give you a data transmission channel.

"If you send all the information I need within the time specified by me, I will arrange a supply transportation for you so that you will not freeze and starve alive in the snowstorm." The man proposed to Anna.

"Supplies? If you could have sent supplies, you would have arranged for armed men to take over the laboratory by force, but you didn't. It means that you misjudged the time when the blizzard was coming, so now you can only trade with me in this way. I I won't be fooled by you." Anna rejected the man.

Chapter 805

"Haha, smart Anna, but there is one thing you have overlooked. Although it is impossible to arrange personnel to take over the laboratory during the snowstorm, I can arrange unmanned equipment to deliver supplies to you. This will not affect our transaction." The man said a few more words.

"I can't believe what you said." Anna rejected the man again.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. It's a fact that you are in desperate situation. I will call you again in an hour. If you don't want to die of cold and hunger, please consider my suggestion." The man stopped as he spoke. call.

Cui Yunxi took the opportunity to quickly use the communicator to communicate with other parties.

Unfortunately, all communication channels in the laboratory have been locked again.

"What's your opinion?" Anna looked at the others.

"We have no choice but to agree to his conditions." Daisy answered Anna.

Anna glanced at Cui Yunxi.

Cui Yunxi frowned and said nothing.

Anna looked at Li Teng again.

"After he gets the information he needs, what's the point of leaving us alive?" Li Teng asked Anna a question.

"Yes, what he wants to do more is to kill people and silence them instead of taking risks to deliver us supplies that are also valuable to them." Anna nodded.

"But do we have a choice? If we don't agree to his conditions, we will definitely die. Only by agreeing to his conditions can we have a chance of survival." Daisy retorted to Anna.

"I support Daisy's point of view. Even if we don't give them the information and we freeze and starve to death after the blizzard, they can still arrange for people to come to the laboratory to get the information." Cui Yunxi finally spoke.

Anna lay on the table, lost in thought.

"We must change from being passive to being active. Anna, when he calls again, tell him to send the supplies first, and you will send the information as agreed. But if he doesn't send the supplies, we will be cold and hungry. And before you die, you emphasize to him that we will destroy all the data and destroy the entire laboratory before death so that they can get nothing." Li Teng gave Anna an idea.

"Your idea is reliable." Anna sat up.

"This will anger them." Daisy was a little worried.

"So what if they are irritated? If they really have the ability to transport supplies, they will agree to our conditions. If they don't have the ability to transport supplies, even if we give them the information, we will still not be able to get the supplies, and we will still die. Li Captain's method is the best method." Anna retorted to Daisy.

"I support Captain Li this time." Cui Yunxi said.

Daisy said nothing more.

…

After an hour of anxious waiting, the communicator rang again.

"Have you thought about it? Do you agree to my deal?" the man asked Anna.

"Think about it, you send the supplies first, and I will pass the information to you as agreed. But if you don't send the supplies, causing us to freeze and starve to death, we will destroy all the information before we die and destroy the entire The laboratory will leave you with nothing." Anna answered the man according to Li Teng's words.

"Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with me? Do you want to risk your lives?" The man was furious.

"Yes, if we can't get the supplies, we will die. You send the supplies, and I will pass the information to you. I promise not to break my promise." Anna replied firmly to the man.

"Anna, are you really taking your own life for granted? Okay, I'll wait for you for three days. After three days, I'll call again. I hope you think carefully!" The man cut off the call again.

"What should I do?" Daisy was a little panicked.

"This is blackmail! Their original plan was interrupted by a snowstorm, and they had to resort to this trick. Based on what he just said, I guess they don't have the ability to transport supplies." Anna shook her head.

"Who are these people? Since they can mobilize fighter jets, why didn't they come earlier and take control of the laboratory? They had to wait until the supply helicopter arrived? And they couldn't even predict the weather?" Li Teng asked the three women asked a question.

Although Li Teng feels that the answer to this question is mostly due to the omissions of the director and screenwriter, there is no harm in asking these NPCs to hear their opinions, and maybe he can find some useful clues.

"If my guess is correct, they should be people hired by the military. The military only got the news about the success of our human experiments a few days ago, so it hurriedly sent these people to steal the results secretly. The preparation time is not It's because I didn't choose the right time." Anna answered Li Teng.

"The human experiment was successful...Does this mean there are secret cabins in our laboratory? Experimental subjects in hibernation?" Li Teng detected some information from Anna's words.

"Yes, there is an underground secret cabin, but the experimental subject has been taken away the day before you came." Anna answered Li Teng after being silent for a while.

Li Teng said nothing more.

…

late at night.

After confirming that all three girls were asleep, Li Teng quietly pushed Anna awake, made a 'shush' gesture to her, and then left the dormitory cabin with her and went to the dining room far away from the dormitory.

"What do you want to say?" Anna asked Li Teng.

"The man's conditions cannot be agreed to. There is no way he can deliver supplies in a snowstorm that lasts for more than two months." Li Teng said a few words.

"But we are destined to die." Of course Anna knew this, but she also knew that Li Teng must have had other ideas when he woke her up.

"Maybe there is a way for us to survive, but I need your help." Li Teng suggested it to Anna.

"any solution?"

"It's very simple. Now that hibernation technology has been successfully tested on humans, then all of us can enter hibernation. After these three months, your company should also rush here to check it out as soon as possible. We will be saved by then." Li Teng answered Anna.

As for whether Anna's company would rush over as soon as three months later, it was not a question that Li Teng had to consider. He only needed to keep everyone alive for three months.

After hearing what Li Teng said, Anna's face showed a subtle change, but she quickly covered it up.

"Hibernation technology is not fully mature, and it cannot be said that human experiments have been completely successful. During the process of hibernation, professionals need to follow up on various data indicators of hibernating experimental subjects at any time, and adjust the dosage of various chemicals and electricity at any time. intensity of stimulation.

"But your suggestion is feasible to a certain extent. Let's do this. The three of you will go into hibernation and I will stay awake. Maybe this will allow us to survive together until three months later." Anna thought for a while and answered Li Teng.

Li Teng remained silent. He had a feeling that Anna must have hidden some important details from him.
