Dragon Race: Dragon of Eternal Time

Chapter 261 Survivor

Amid the exclamation of everyone, the giant icebreaker lowered the tower crane and hoisted the entire Moniah to the rear deck.

The boarding ladder was lowered, and Mo Shi and others stepped onto the deck, surrounded by gray mist, and the field of vision was somewhat narrow.

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Mo Shi." The burly man in the white captain's uniform stood in the mist, grinning openly, showing a generous smile, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon. These are the students from Kassel College. Students, it really is extraordinary."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Mo Shi.

"We meet again." Mo Shi reached out and shook his hand.

Sasha warmly greeted Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang again, shook hands and introduced the history and power of this icebreaker to Professor Schneider and the students of Kassel College.

The crew was busy unloading the Moniach. After unloading all the cargo boxes on it, the tower crane put the Moniach back to the sea. The icebreaker blew its whistle and headed towards the North Pole.

……

Arctic Ocean.

Franz Josef Land, Barents Sea.

This huge island group consists of 150 small islands with a combined area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers and belongs to the territory of Russia.Because of the harsh climate, there are no permanent residents on the island, but there are scientific research stations left over from the Soviet era.

In the summer of previous years, this is a good tourist destination. If you are lucky, you can even see Arctic poppies.

But it can't work now, because of the abnormal cold current, tourists have been banned from logging in to the port here.

Mo Shi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the ice surface not far away, where lifelike ice sculptures stood on it, with fear written all over their faces.The crew is busy recovering their remains.

These remains are the scientific expedition team members in the video.

"No abnormality was found." Chu Zihang came behind Mo Shi and whispered, "The whale has already left here."

"Well, it's been so long after all." Mo Shi nodded indifferently, "but he shouldn't have gone far."

"I agree with you." Chu Zihang said.

When they came here, half a month had passed since the scientific expedition team turned into ice sculptures. Such a long time was enough for a dragon king-level creature to fly far away, but everyone can be sure that that guy did not go far, and was still in this sea. .

Of course, the premise is before he finds a companion.

The sound of laughter came from below. It was the girls playing snowball fights and making snowmen on the ice. I had to sigh their strength.

"Don't they feel cold?" Lu Mingfei crossed his arms.

He was wearing thick winter clothing and black sunglasses. In such a place with strong ultraviolet rays, not wearing sunglasses would cause great damage to the eyes.

"Let them go." Mo Shi smiled.

"Survivors found!" The crew roared.

Everyone showed surprised expressions.

"It's so possible that there will be survivors in this situation?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. "Isn't this too magical?"

"It's really strange." Chu Zihang frowned.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Mo Shi said.

The three of them got off the icebreaker, rode on a black snowmobile, started the engine, the motorcycle roared, and rushed out like a wild horse, splashing a cloud of snow and dust.

The cold wind cut his face like a knife.

As soon as they drove out, the same roar of motorcycle engines sounded from behind. It was Professor Schneider, Captain Sasha, Nono, Xia Mi, Renata, Erika and others.

"Brake!" The harsh sound of brakes sounded.

Mo Shi flicked its tail beautifully, the motorcycle stopped steadily not far from the crowd, and the three of them jumped off the vehicle.

Others also arrived one after another, and all of them stood beside a well with solemn expressions.The well was not marked on the map, so it was not discovered by the crew until now.

A white figure was lying beside the mouth of the well, and he agreed that he had also been killed by the cold and turned into an ice sculpture.

"The deceased was wearing the same uniform as that of the scientific expedition team, and one leg was broken at the knee." The crew member who arrived first explained to everyone, "From the overturned motorcycle not far away, it can be inferred that he should have discovered the danger in advance. , relying on that motorcycle to escape to here, which is more than ten kilometers away from the scene of the incident."

Everyone's expressions were dignified. Is this the effect of the dragon king's level of speech?It has been extended to a place more than ten kilometers away.

The crew members were still working at the wellhead, and some tools made of metal were picked up from the well, and they clanged together when they collided.

Everyone's eyes widened, because the handles of those metal tools were engraved with the "*" emblem of Germany.

"No wonder there is no mark of this well on the map. This is a ground well built by the German government." Chu Zihang said.

"Could it be that we have found the secret base that invaded Germany? Will there still be biochemical viruses and mutants left in it?" Lu Mingfei showed a worried expression.

No one complained about Lu Ming's unconstrained ideas, because what he said was not impossible.

"The dead man held a rope tightly, and the other end of the rope went deep under the snow, and we detected the reaction of life below." The crew continued to explain to everyone.

"He didn't want to save his own life, but to protect someone more important than his own life." Chu Zihang said in a low voice.

"It might be his child." Chu Tianjiao said, "A father will become extremely powerful when his child is in danger."

Everyone present was in awe of the deceased, and some emotional girls even shed hot tears.

At this time, the crew used ice picks to break the ice shell under the snow, and white steam rose from the bottomless darkness.

"I'll go down and have a look." Mo Shi said.

As soon as the words fell, he jumped into the bottom of the well.

Erika jumped down without saying a word.

Everyone was dumbfounded, why are they all so crazy?

"Click."

With a slight sound, Mo Shi landed lightly.

Suddenly he heard the sound of something falling, looked up and saw that it was Eri Yi wearing pink winter clothes, then reached out his hand and firmly caught her in the posture of a princess hugging her.

"Why did you come down?" Mo Shi smiled.

"I'm worried about you." Erika said softly.

"Okay." Mo Shi put Erika down.

After a while, other people followed, and they were tied with safety ropes, ready to pull them up at any time.

A pitch-black corridor appeared in front of everyone.

The temperature at the bottom of the well is much higher than the top, very warm. Everyone took off their winter clothes. This is very unusual. Although the temperature at the bottom of the well is indeed higher than the top, it will not be so warm. There may be geothermal energy nearby. of.

Everyone walked into the corridor with military flashlights in their hands, Mo Shi walked in the front, and the others were far behind him.

"The nuclear radiation has exceeded the standard." Abbas said, "but it's not a big problem. It's nothing to us at this level."

He holds a Geiger counter that detects nuclear radiation.

"It may be that there is a natural nuclear reactor here, so it can keep warm. ** discovered this place a long time ago, and then built a base." Chu Zihang said.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"In such a warm environment, organisms can survive very well, and it makes sense why there are survivors."

As soon as Mo Shi finished speaking, a gray shadow rushed past his eyes.

Everyone exclaimed, and their spirits tensed up.

"Don't be nervous, it's just an arctic rabbit." Mo Shi said.

Although it was only for a moment, he still captured the true identity of the shadow with his extremely sharp eyesight.

After hearing Mo Shi's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's just a rabbit. I thought it was some kind of monster." Lu Mingfei let go of the handle of the sword.

This rabbit further proves that there are real animals here. On both sides of the corridor, they can also see winding vines and green moss in the corner, full of life.

"I seem to smell a smell of urine, how about you?" Lu Mingfei twitched his nose, showing a disgusted expression.

"It should be the smell from the urine of animals such as arctic rabbits or polar bears." Mo Shi explained, "This shows that there are other entrances here. Wild animals enter here when the temperature drops, and herbivores eat vines." and mosses, carnivores eat herbivores, forming an ecosphere."

"It's really amazing." Lu Mingfei sighed.

Everyone continued to trek in the corridor, which extended in all directions, and the corridor was densely packed like a spider's web, and everyone moved separately.They saw all kinds of small animals along the way, but they didn't find any large predators for the time being, but they must exist.

The strong smell of blood came into everyone's nostrils, and everyone's heart trembled. Piles of animal bones appeared in their field of vision, which looked particularly creepy under the light of the flashlight, because those bones were not only snow-white , and those with blood, the smell of blood came from the pile of bones.

But after all, they are people who have been trained and have seen big scenes, and the discomfort lasted only for a moment before disappearing.

The bones validated their idea that, in this warm space, large carnivores were real.

"Crack! Kick!"

The sound of bones breaking was heard, and everyone's hairs stood on end instinctively. What kind of creature is chewing bones?

Everyone held their breath and walked towards the direction of the sound with light footsteps. The sound of water dripping on the ground made a "tick" sound, which was extremely clear. Biting cold water dripped into the collar of a crew member, and he didn't Make noise.

As he continued to advance, the sound of bones being chewed became more and more clear. Mo Shi stretched out his flashlight and shone in the direction of the sound. It was a white furry creature that looked like a polar bear cub.

"Little polar bear?!" Lu Mingfei whispered.

"No, it's not." Mo Shi shook his head.

Because the creature had already turned its head alertly. It was not a polar bear cub at all, but a human child with polar bear fur on its body, and its age could not be discerned.

His face was dark and covered with stains.This is not surprising, because it is covered with black oil.

In this way, it seems that the person who the scientific expedition team must protect even if they sacrifice their lives is this child.

The child was holding the bones in his hands, showing vigilant and fierce eyes, obviously he was a little afraid of Mo Shi and the others.

"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people." Mo Shi smiled.

His words seemed to have magical powers, and the face of the child who was grinning a second ago gradually calmed down.

Mo Shi walked forward slowly, the child did not run away, but just looked at Mo Shi quietly.

"Very good, very good." Mo Shi followed the guidance.

He moved closer to the child and stroked his hairy head.

Others also tried to approach him, but they were all stared back by his fierce eyes, as if they only trusted Mo Shi.

"What a poor child." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"Let's take him out first." Mo Shi said as he picked up the furry child, but he didn't resist, letting Mo Shi hold him in his arms, and his tense nerves relaxed.

He fell asleep unexpectedly, and slept in an incomparably peaceful sleep. This is a very incredible thing.

In the eyes of everyone, Mo Shi seemed to be exuding the radiance of kindness. Some people who had only heard of the legend of Mo Shi slaying dragons, and thought he was a strong man who killed people without blinking an eye, were stunned. The impression of Mo Shi was here. Instant subversion.I didn't expect him to be so popular with children besides being able to slay dragons.

This is actually quite normal, Mo Shi, who is a dragon, is extremely charismatic, and all creatures will be attracted to him unconsciously.

Everyone went back the same way, tied a sling around Mo Shi's waist, and he hugged the dirty child covered in fur.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the rope. The people above understood what he meant, and began to exert force, pulling him and the child up. The corpse at the mouth of the well had been dragged away and put into a body bag, and the child was also sleeping. If he is dead, he will not see his father die, because it is too cruel.

He could tell that the dead man and the kid in polar bear fur were both Inuit.

They live in the Arctic region, in and around the Arctic Circle from Siberia to Alaska to Greenland.

They are the earliest inhabitants of this frozen world. They have survived and multiplied for four to five thousand years. They have created a unique polar civilization in a closed state with little contact with the outside world.

With the world connected, they can now be seen in countries such as Greenland, the United States, Canada and Russia.

Field expedition teams going to the North Pole like to hire Inuit people, because they are familiar with the North Pole and have excellent cold resistance. If a scientific expedition team member with high-tech equipment leaves the team and acts alone, it will be difficult to survive for three days. The Newts, however, can live in the Pole for a month with a few sled dogs and a long, sharp dagger.

When in danger, the Inuit can even be your sled dogs.European expeditions who went to the North Pole in the early years have heard this sentence.At that time, if you could find an experienced Inuit guide, your chances of survival would increase greatly, and you might even find a new island and name it after yourself.
