Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 433 Farewell, return!
It was the evening of another day, the sky was gloomy, and the night belonging to the extreme north seemed to be coming.

The orange-yellow sun hangs on the distant horizon, and the snow-colored ice field in the distance reflects the dim yellow light. The cold wind howls, and white ice crystals like sand and dust flutter on the ground. The whole world is filled with a feeling of death and gloom.

However, as time passed, the sunset in the sky did not completely set.

It moves slowly on the horizon, as if it is panning, the trajectory of the movement is almost parallel to the horizon, and the angle of change is very small, as if it will never fall.

This spectacle can only be seen in the polar regions of the planet.

People who have lived here for a long time know that it will be like this for them for many months to come.

This is the extreme day.

There is no night, only light, and the sun shines 24 hours a day.

At this moment, the extreme northern region is experiencing a six-month-long polar day in a year, and correspondingly, the extreme southern region is experiencing a long polar night.

At this moment, on the thick ice sheet in the extreme north, there was a slight noise in a certain area.

"Swipe—swipe—"

Listen carefully, the sound is coming from under the ice sheet, very coherent, with some rustling sounds, it seems that some animal is digging through the ice layer below, trying to get to the top of the ice layer.

If the polar scientific research personnel heard the sound here, they would be very surprised, because the ice layer here is already 60 meters thick. What kind of creatures would move in such an ice layer?
Could it be the legendary arctic monster?

After more than ten minutes, the strange sound approached the ground, getting closer and closer.

A few minutes later, there was only a click, and a sharp metal fragment spun rapidly, penetrated the ice layer, and flew into the air with a whistling sound.

On the vast ice sheet, this small piece of metal is very inconspicuous.

The hole it penetrates through the ice layer is only about one centimeter in diameter, and when the cold wind blows, it can bury it with a few fine ice crystals.

But, soon, a small mechanical crawler crawled out of this coin-sized hole.

After the little reptile came out, it spread its wings and rose with the wind, getting higher and higher. Its body seemed to have no weight, and it flew to an altitude of hundreds of meters in just a few minutes, overlooking the world below.

[No signs of activity of mechanical creatures have been found, and the surrounding area of ​​500 meters is being searched]

A message was passed to Su Xia, followed by the vision shared by the mechanical crawler.

At this moment, Su Xia is under the ice.

His face was serious, his brows were tightly frowned, and his mind was highly concentrated. He kept sending out more nano-robots to explore the way.

This area is exactly where he chose to go ashore.

Contrary to all guesses from the outside world, Su Xia did not choose a certain island, nor did she choose the edge of a certain continent. Instead, she came under the thick polar ice layer, forcibly pierced through the ice layer, and created a place for herself to go ashore. location.

The extreme northern ice layer in this world is much thicker than that on the earth, which caused Susha a lot of trouble.

"Unexpectedly, it took more than ten minutes just to make a hole the size of a coin." Su Xia sighed. The ice layer here was harder than he imagined, and he spent a lot of spiritual power to make a passage.

"Well, am I right? There are no robots outside!" the big whale said proudly.

This area was actually chosen by him for Su Xia.

Before that, he released his mental fluctuations and, as the overlord, drove a large number of creatures in the sea. It took him two or three days to choose this place for Su Xia.

In order to ensure safety at sea, he even drove some creatures such as arctic foxes and arctic wolves on land to come to this area as a reconnaissance force at any cost.

You must know that most of these creatures live in the Arctic tundra area, and rarely come to such an inland area.

"There is indeed no sign of the machine clan, thank you." Su Xia expressed his gratitude to the big whale.

"Thank you, we are all fellow travelers anyway!" the big whale said casually.

At this moment, Su Xia had put away the large submarine, and took the small sightseeing submarine, suspended under the ice.

He looked up, and through the solid sightseeing glass, he could see a piece of uneven light blue ice, like the sky of the underwater world, as if he could touch it with his hands, with a somewhat mysterious feeling, which made people feel like In another world.

The big whale was suspended beside Su Xia, with a huge body of more than 300 meters. In the dark and cold sea, one could not see the head at all, only a part of his body.

"After leaving here, do you know how to go?" He asked Su Xia.

"Yes, I have a map." Su Xia nodded.

"When you leave, you don't know when you will come back. The next time we meet, it will probably be many years later." Big Whale sighed. Although he had not been with Su Xia for a long time, he was quite reluctant to part with Su Xia. , I hope Su Xia will stay for a while longer, and go with him to explore the mysterious areas in the Extreme North Sea.

In all his long life, he had never had a human friend.

For a long-lived sea monster like his, friends were precious creatures.

He has lived so long that he has forgotten how many years he has lived. The friends he made when he was young are already dead now, some of them died of old age, and some died of fighting with sharks. Others were hunted by humans.

It's been so long that he even forgot what those friends looked like before.

Year after year, after a boring life day after day, the only ones who could be considered his friends were those sea monsters who were also of a different kind.

"Don't worry, I cherish time." Su Xia smiled, "It won't be many years, and I will come to you in half a year at most."

"Half a year?"

The big whale didn't quite believe it, and asked suspiciously: "In half a year, can you defeat those robots?"

"Half a year is enough, the war is imminent, and the final storm is about to blow." Su Xia said: "I will go back this time. In a short time, there should be a racial war on land, and it may spread to the sea by then. You have to Prepare early."

"So fast?"

"Well... In fact, before I entered the bottom of the sea, I already smelled the breath of war."

Su Xia's eyes were deep, and she looked up at the bottom of the ice layer, thinking a lot.

For the machine race, the undead are an uncontrollable factor after all.

They will not allow any uncontrollable factors to grow up. The best choice is to kill them in their cradles.

At the same time, the wreckage of alien spaceships all over the world is also surfacing one by one. The next war may involve the competition for these wreckages.

The final winner must be able to break out of this planet, become the representative of civilization on this planet, and lead everyone into the interstellar era.

While Su Xia was thinking, more and more information was sent back.

[No signs of activity of mechanical creatures have been found, and the surrounding area of ​​2000 meters is being searched]

[No mechanical family found...]

【…】

More than half of the nanites were dispatched by him.

For the sake of safety, the little robots no longer maintain the form of reptiles, but spread out one after another, activate the invisible environment, and turn into shining white ice crystals, like sand and dust in the desert, blowing gently in this white world with the wind. Fluttering.

They are mixed in ordinary ice crystals, there is no abnormality at all, and they are no different from other ice crystals.

In addition to them, there are also those arctic foxes and arctic wolves that the big whales use their spiritual power to drive.

Soon, the area with a radius of about ten kilometers was completely explored, and it was dead silent, except for themselves, there was hardly any trace of life.

"It should be safe."

Su Xia glanced at the time, and then her heart moved, releasing dozens of tiny metal fragments.

Under his control, these metal fragments began to spin rapidly, like sharp knives that would not stop, and began to cut through the thick layer of ice.

This time, what he wanted was not just a hole the size of a coin, but a passage that could accommodate himself.

"Swipe—swipe—"

The cutting speed was very fast, and within a short while, a round hole with a diameter of more than forty centimeters was gradually formed.

As the cutting progressed, countless fine ice crystal particles were scraped off, floating in the water like white catkins, in groups, and finally dissolved into the sea water and gradually disappeared.

"Your ability is really good." The big whale was a little envious, "If you go to work as a construction worker, you can build an iron tower in a day, and one person can earn the wages of hundreds of people... Going to the vegetable market to sell watermelons is also a good idea." No need to put magnets under the weighing pan..."

"Do you still know how to put magnets?" Su Xia was surprised.

"I've lived for hundreds of years, and I still know about these things."

"..."

During the communication between the two, time passed slowly, and the hole was dug deeper and deeper.

At the same time, Su Xia also took a serious look at the extreme north world outside through the shared vision of the nanorobot.

This is the first time he has come to this kind of extremely cold world, so he naturally has a lot of curiosity in his heart.

"I heard that there is a period of time every year in the extreme north where you can see the aurora, but unfortunately it's not the time yet." Su Xia is a little regretful. He has no chance to see many things on the earth, so he can only entrust them to The game, I hope it can be realized in the game.

"There's nothing to see, I'm tired of watching it." The big whale said casually, not caring at all.

"Of course you're tired of watching..."

Su Xia pursed her lips, too lazy to entangle these issues with the big whale.

Under his careful control, the metal fragments in the hole spun rapidly, cutting and scratching the ice layer continuously, already reaching a depth of three meters.

"Next, there is still a thickness of 54 meters." Su Xia took out a few spiritual energy replenishing potions and replenished energy for herself.

The energy is consumed too fast, and if it is not replenished, the blue bar will bottom out.

This is a very boring process, very tedious, repeated and cut repeatedly.

"It's a pity that the ice is too thick, otherwise I can experience the feeling of a submarine breaking through the ice." Su Xia often saw shocking pictures of nuclear submarines breaking through the ice in various military videos. She always wanted to try it, but now she has no chance.

Many ideas can only be realized after the war.

Time passed slowly, and the cold wind above the ice layer never stopped, as if it had been like this for thousands of years.

In this cold and dead place, time seems to have lost its meaning, nothing will change much, and the world is completely white.

I don't know how long it has been...

Finally, with a click, a thin piece of ice shattered, and more than a dozen tiny metal fragments broke out of the ice.

The nearly 60-meter-thick ice layer, under Su Xia's unremitting cutting, was punched into a vertical passage that is large enough for normal people to pass through.

"it's time……"

Su Xia let out a breath, feeling a lot of relief all over her body, and a feeling of exhaustion welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Controlling the metal for such a long time consumes not only the energy in his body, but also his mind. After all, he has to maintain concentration at all times.

Above him, at the entrance of the passage, the sea water was rippling, and a beam of bright light appeared, as if it was the entrance to another world.

The sea and the sea are indeed two different worlds.

"I should go." Su Xia turned her head to look at the big whale with a calm voice.

"Okay... Take care all the way!"

The big whale didn't say anything to keep her. He knew that Su Xia had a heavy task, so he just swung his tail lightly and rolled up a gentle current, which was regarded as a farewell to Su Xia.

Su Xia smiled lightly and said, "Take care too."

After all, he pressed the submarine's exit button, and seawater poured into the submarine instantly to balance the internal and external pressure, and then the submarine's hatch slowly opened.

The chill of the sea water surrounded Su Xia in an instant, eroding his skin, making him feel as if he was being pricked by needles.

Su Xia swam out of the submarine, waved her hand, then put away the submarine and swam to the entrance of the passage.

Looking up, the sky is white, and the sun is a bit dazzling.

Su Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, without hesitating for too long, she rushed up, along the smooth and cold ice channel, rushed out of the sea world, and returned to the long-awaited land.

With a few clicks, the sea water on his body instantly turned into ice, turned into ice slag, and fell to the ground.

Whoosh!

The cold wind whizzed past, like a knife cutting through his wet body.

The temperature of tens of degrees below zero instantly covered his clothes with a thin layer of ice, and his skin stained with seawater instantly lost consciousness and was numb from the cold.

"Huh... this temperature..."

Su Xia breathed out a mouthful of white mist, and her whole body trembled in the cold wind, almost unconscious all over her body, she rubbed her arms subconsciously, and the ice crystal particles on her arms rustled down.

In just over ten seconds, a thick layer of frost formed on his hair and eyebrows.

The extreme north is indeed a forbidden zone for life.

Looking around, the whole world is only the white of ice crystals, the world of ice and snow, thousands of miles of ice cold.

Su Xia immediately took out some blood-invigorating medicine, gulped it down for herself, and then wrapped herself in several thick coats to feel more comfortable.

"From here, all the way to the south, the ice layer will gradually thin, and then pass through the Beiyang Bay, after crossing the Beiyang Bay, it will be the Scandinavian Peninsula, pass through the peninsula area, go southeast, and then cross the Ur Mountains and enter the Great Plains ..."

Su Xia calculated the distance, and the road traveled from north to south, from high latitudes to low latitudes, almost spanning the entire northern hemisphere.

Pure flying can save him a lot of time, and the speed is much faster than that on the bottom of the sea.

While Su Xia was looking at the map, the big whale under the ice suddenly moved, causing a wave of waves.

The big whale transmitted a spiritual force through the ice, and asked Su Xia: "Why are you not moving? You won't be frozen, right?"

"No, I'm just calculating the route." Su Xia smiled.

"Oh, I thought you were numb."

"Not really."

"Have you figured out the route?"

"All right."

Su Xia looked relaxed, and put away the system map, the specific route has been engraved in her heart.

He looked into the distance, his body rose slowly, then he looked down, smiled at the big whale under the ice, and said the last sentence.

"gone!"
