Chapter 765 Probing
In the vast snowfield, everything is silent, except for the howling wind and the sound of branches being broken by the snow, it is as quiet as a tomb.

However, this seemingly dead land is extremely rich in diversity. After all, this is the Kamchatka Peninsula, not the vast plains of Siberia.

A snow-white arctic fox is looking for food by its sense of smell and hearing. Bugs and small rodents hide under the snow. They are not afraid of freezing to death because there are abundant geothermal resources deep underground.

Suddenly, it straightened its body and shook its ears. It heard a terrible sound, like the roar of a giant bear, and like thunder rolling in the sky. Fortunately, the ground did not tremble, otherwise it might be the most terrifying sound on this peninsula. Terrible events - earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

The rumbling sound quickly moved from far to near. Like the Philippine diving team, it plunged headfirst into the snow, but the snow here was not thick enough. Although its head was hidden, buttocks and tail were still exposed, it Unconsciously, I thought I was safe.

A helicopter swept over the snow field with a strong wind. Even if you are not a military fan, you can tell at a glance that this is a military helicopter with a fierce appearance, not a civilian helicopter.

"General, there is bad news from the weather forecast. A low-pressure cloud is approaching and is expected to encounter us. I suggest a detour." The driver turned around and said.

"If you make a detour, is there enough fuel?" General Pasinkova asked.

The driver looked at the fuel gauge and replied uncertainly, "Probably about the same."

There are a large number of wild and uninhabited lands on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Since there are no people, let alone gas stations, not to mention that helicopters cannot use ordinary gasoline.

Under normal circumstances, a full fuel tank is enough for a round trip, but it is not necessarily necessary if you consider detours. It is not easy to bypass a moving storm. There is neither an airport nor a road to the place to go, the most convenient way is to go by helicopter.

The general thought about it for a while and said, "Don't make a detour, take the shortest route and go straight there."

The pilot took a deep breath, but the general's words were orders, even if he was sent to die, he had to follow through, otherwise even if he survived, he would have to be court-martialed, anyway the general was on the helicopter, so he could only trust the general.

General Pasinkova did not wear the military uniform she usually wears at the test station and formal occasions, but changed into a field uniform and a pair of sunglasses to prevent snow blindness, making her look even more heroic.

She is holding a tablet computer in her hand, and on the screen is a high-precision three-dimensional electronic map of the local area, which comes from satellite imaging and surface surveying by the Military Topographic Surveying Bureau of the General Staff. The level of accuracy and detail is beyond the reach of civilian maps. nape.

Somewhere on the map, a red dot is lit, that is the destination of this trip, and it is the final result obtained after many days of calculations by the supercomputer at the test station.

Suddenly, the helicopter shook violently. General Pasinkova moved her eyes from the screen to the window, and saw a blizzard blowing outside, and the strong wind from the side was blowing violently on the helicopter. Even though it was a high-performance military helicopter, But in the face of the mighty power of nature, it still looks so weak.

The pilot was sweating, holding the joystick tightly with both hands, trying to maintain the balance of the helicopter. If he couldn't do it, this would be his last flight.

He has rich driving experience, but the weather conditions are too harsh. The temperature outside instantly drops below minus [-] degrees, and the visibility is very poor. He can only see snowflakes when he looks around. All he can rely on is the instrument.

thud thump!
There was a strange sound from the direction of the tail, and his heart trembled.

Oops!Could it be that the tail propeller is starting to freeze?

Once the tail freezes, you can't control the direction, and the helicopter will spin around in the air.

The helicopter shook more and more violently, and he shouted: "General! We must make an emergency landing!"

"No, just grasp the direction." The general put down the tablet.

With these words, a miracle appeared, the blizzard outside seemed to stop suddenly, and the helicopter recovered to a certain extent.

What happened?

The pilot looked out the window and saw that the blizzard had not stopped, but neither the wind nor the snow was blocked more than ten meters away from the helicopter, as if an invisible barrier surrounded and protected the helicopter from four directions, east, west, north, south. When the snow blows to the barrier, it will turn up and down. This area is a world of its own, as if you are in the eye of a typhoon.

Such a miracle that can compete with nature, if it is not the favor of God, is there any other explanation?

The driver quietly glanced at the general in awe. They have long heard that the general is almost equal to a god, but very few people have seen the general make a move with their own eyes, so it has always been just a rumor. At this time, the general looked out the window indifferently, as if Far from doing his best.

This invisible barrier didn't disappear unknowingly until the helicopter passed through the low-pressure clouds and the blizzard subsided. At the same time, the snow field in front came to an end. After flying over a low mountain, a basin appeared in front of us. See the clouds and mist rising from the greenery and geothermal heat.

The helicopter was already close to the destination, and the general ordered the driver to find a flat place to land. After the helicopter stopped, she got off the helicopter alone.

"You wait here for my return."

"General, that volcano doesn't look very good, you'd better be careful." The driver said worriedly, pointing to the horizon.

General Pasinkova had already noticed the volcano before the helicopter landed. Active volcanoes are very common in the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is not worth making a fuss about an active volcano emitting light smoke, but the smoke from this active volcano is a bit thick. The smoke is lingering, and occasionally it seems that the flames can be seen reddening the smoke, full of dangerous atmosphere.

This volcano is not one of the 29 active volcanoes recorded in the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is probably a resurrected...a dormant volcano. After thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, it has become active again. Such a volcano It is often more dangerous than active volcanoes, because active volcanoes often erupt and will not accumulate too much pressure inside, while dormant volcanoes will become active again because the internal pressure is too high to hold. big news.

But there are no human settlements nearby, and the entire Kamchatka peninsula is sparsely populated, so even if it erupts, it won't cause too many problems.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As an ordinary human being, when he sees such an ominous volcano, it is best to stay away and leave immediately. If he does not die, he will not die.

General Pasinkova nodded and said, "It's okay, I won't be there for too long."

The driver did his duty, but he couldn't stop the general. Besides, it seemed that the volcano would not erupt in a short time, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, the general was a son of god favored by god, not an ordinary human being.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, why did the general come to such a place where the birds don't shit by himself?It is understandable not to bring guards. After all, no one is stronger than the general. Under normal circumstances, guards are not needed, but is there any point in coming to this kind of place?Looking around, there is no one with artificial traces around. It may be that no human has set foot here for tens of thousands of years.

Puzzled and puzzled, he still knows what he doesn't know, so don't ask too much about things he shouldn't know.

General Pasinkova also came here for the first time. This is an unknown place, but the result calculated by the supercomputer based on the data points to this place. It is the soldier of the Military Topographic Surveying Bureau of the General Staff in exchange for life and sound limbs. She will not waste the precious data.

She seemed to be wandering aimlessly, walking east, looking west, breathing the top fresh air in the whole earth, walking up the hills, crossing streams, passing through the less dense thorns, and finally saw what she wanted looking for something.

It was the entrance of a cave. It was said to be a cave, but it should be said to be a crack in the rock wall. It was so narrow that it was difficult for even one person to squeeze through.

She stared at the crack, her pupils contracted and dilated rapidly, and she heard the sound of the rock cracking. The narrow crack seemed to be forced open by an invisible jack, and the broken volcanic rocks rolled down one after another. The fissure has expanded enough to allow ordinary people to come in and out. Of course, it is still very difficult for Major Granite's body shape.

She took out the flashlight she carried with her and shone in. The crack extended inwards and downwards. I don't know how deep it is. But a nest of unknown rodent mammals seemed to regard this place as their home, disturbed by the rock collapse and the flashlight. , squeaked and jumped out of the crack and ran out.

The smell of the crack is not very pleasant, but compared to this, she is more worried about the oxygen content inside.

She turned her eyes and stared at a small animal that was running away, which looked like some kind of rat, and this animal seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, no matter how desperately it moved its four legs, it also ran away. Not one step.

Then, this... the mouse seemed to lose weight, levitated out of nowhere, was illuminated by her flashlight, and floated into the hole, it screamed in panic, but it didn't make any sense, if it had enough intelligence And if it survives today, it will probably tell the story of its being hijacked by aliens to future generations.

I heard that tomb robbers would use birds in cages to test the air quality in the tomb. If the bird died, it means that humans are not far from suffocation. She doesn't have a bird at hand, and it seems too cruel to use a beautiful bird to do this kind of thing , I have to feel sorry for this ugly big mouse. Besides, this is its home. As a host, shouldn't it be hospitable?
Just like that, the mouse floated ahead to check the air quality for her, and she entered the cave a few meters behind.
