Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Whether it is Sami or the northwestern part of Usas, it is covered by ice and snow all year round. Under this premise, it is necessary to choose a suitable means of transportation.

Considering that ordinary snowmobiles can only move forward on snow, Li Ang specially obtained this off-road vehicle, which can be converted into a snowmobile by changing the tires.

Although this is a bit troublesome, it is more adaptable to various situations than a simple snowmobile.

After removing the tracks and skids, Li Ang lifted the rear half of the car with one hand, and while twisting the tires, he sensed the surrounding environment.

"Sure enough, only by experiencing it for yourself can you know how special the environment here is." Li Ang thought silently in his heart.

To the north of Ursas is an endless ice field beyond sight, and this is one of the areas in the world of Terra that have been invaded by outsiders. Occupying this area is a human-like but completely different nature. , known as 'Xenomorph' monsters.

For countless years in the past, the Ursas have been firmly keeping the alien species out of the ice sheet, but because of the lack of decisive power, they have never been able to completely remove the alien species from here.

Here, is a stubborn illness rooted in the land of Terra.

Therefore, similar to the self-defense mechanism of the human body, the origin stone energy will spontaneously gather in this area, catalyzing more talented people to resist the invasion of alien species.

Under the influence of these factors, the blizzard in the northern border of Ursas can no longer be called a pure blizzard, but an anomaly that is not a natural disaster but is better than a natural disaster.

Although the damage to the human body or other substances is no different from that of an ordinary snowstorm, it causes greater damage on another level.

The source stones here can be messed up by the blizzard. If you are a warlock who is not familiar with this environment, you may not even be able to rub out a small flame under this disturbance, but if you are familiar with this environment, your spells should be able to play better. strong power.

For warlocks, this is a difficulty that can be overcome, but for machines that use origin stone energy, it is a relatively fatal interference.

Machines do not have the flexibility of humans, they only run according to a fixed program, and it is almost impossible to avoid being affected by this energy turbulence.

So Li Ang quickened his hands, quickly installed the skid and track, hung the removed tire on the tail, and got back into the cab again.

"Adele we are in trouble and we need to find a place to rest before the engine dies."

PS. Counting on four shifts a day, I think too much. Working from home is more troublesome than usual. At most, I can get up a few hours later than usual, but the work efficiency of the day is not high, and it takes more time than usual.

Cancer of Eternal Life: Chapter No.17 Research Station

Judging from the scale of this blizzard, it is estimated that it will not stop for a while. This is the first crisis that Li Ang and the others have encountered since they set off.

In this kind of weather, the car engine will shut down if it can't last for too long. If it is forced to start, it will only cause more serious damage to the power system.

The best solution at this stage is to find a place that can take shelter from the wind, stay there for a while, and move on when the blizzard is a little smaller and the power system can withstand external interference.

"If I remember correctly, there should be a mountain not far ahead, let's hide there for the night."

Now they are in a remote location, there are no Ursus villages nearby, and the fortifications marked on the map that have been abandoned by the Ursus military will take a day at the fastest to arrive.

They only go to the mountain over there now, and find a cave to make do with it for a while.

Even if he couldn't find a cave, Li Ang could artificially dig a hole out of the mountain.

Right now Li Ang couldn't think of any better idea, staying where he was was also a way, but Li Ang didn't know how long the blizzard would last, it would be ridiculous if they were buried alive by the blizzard.

Listening to the howling wind outside, Adele sweated quietly.

In such a dark and depressing environment, Adele couldn't help feeling nervous even though she knew the situation wasn't too bad.

Suddenly, in the dark world outside, Adele seemed to see a dim light.

Blinking her eyes, Adele thought it was her own illusion just now, how could there be lights in such a deserted place?

But when she looked in that direction again, Adele realized that this was not her own illusion——

Under the black night, there were a few faint lights flickering in the distant snowflakes, and she could clearly see this scene in her eyes.

So Adele quickly shouted, "Leon! There is a light there, as if someone is there!"

"What? Are you reading that right?" Li Ang, like Adele, did not believe that anyone would live in such a wild place.

"I'm not mistaken, I can indeed see some light in that direction." Adele said with great certainty.

In most cases, Li Ang's perception is better than ordinary people's vision. For example, Adele can't see the situation outside in a snowstorm at all, but Li Ang can drive normally in this kind of weather.

But only light... Li Ang's current soul strength is not enough to capture the existence of light.

If Adele wasn't on the side this time, Li Ang would never have noticed the existence of those bright lights.

"Where are those lights going?"

"About one o'clock."

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Ang made a decision, "Okay, then let's go and have a look."

If it's only one o'clock direction, it won't deviate too far from their original route, and it won't take too much time to go to see it. What if it is really like Adele said, there are people living in this kind of place?

If they can stay there for a while, they don't have to go to the mountains to dig holes.

Li Ang then turned around and drove towards the location Adele had mentioned.

As they continued to approach that direction, Adele also vaguely saw things hidden in the snowstorm ahead.

It is a very hidden natural canyon. The entrance of the canyon is very narrow. If you don't pay attention, it is very likely to be overlooked. From Li Ang's perception, there are more than a dozen low-rise buildings of various sizes inside the canyon. The two of them were completely overwhelmed.

Although this blizzard did not affect the buildings inside the canyon, the camouflage at the entrance was destroyed by the strong wind. The light that Adele saw just now leaked from this gap.

"Li Ang... are we really going in?"

They had already reached other people's door, but Adele hesitated instead.

Because it doesn't look like a place where ordinary villagers live. Instead, it looks like a base that some organization secretly built here, but they discovered it by mistake.

Moreover, there are obvious traces of people's activities in the canyon, and Adele is worried that there will be conflicts with the people inside.

Li Ang saw Adele's worry, and replied, "Don't worry, there is only one person inside now."

"We're just going to borrow for a while. If the other party doesn't want to, we can leave."

There was only one person on the other side, and Li Ang also had sufficient confidence to deal with the various situations that happened next.

Hearing what Li Ang said, Adele relaxed somewhat, and no longer objected to the plan to enter this valley.

So Li Ang carefully avoided the wreckage at the entrance and drove the car in.

When the car body completely entered the canyon, they felt that the surrounding wind noise was much quieter, and the vision outside the car window gradually became clearer. Several buildings that were completely white and almost blended with the surrounding snow appeared in their eyes.

"Then, I'll go discuss it with the owner here." After parking the car, Li Ang said to Adele.

"I'll go too."

Adele seemed to want to go with Li Ang. After thinking about it, Li Ang felt that it would be more convenient to go together to protect Adele's safety, so he agreed.

"Alright, let's go together then."

After the two got out of the car, Li Ang shouted, "Is anyone there? Is there anyone here?"

However, Li Ang's cry did not receive any response.

In his perception, the only person seemed to be asleep, staying in a house deep in the canyon, without any reaction.

"...Didn't you hear me?"

Thinking of this, Li Ang walked towards the room where that person was, ready to knock on the door to see what the other person's attitude was.

And Adele followed behind Li Ang, looking at everything around him curiously with the help of the lights on the surrounding buildings.

Perhaps to resist the strong wind and snow, these buildings are all in the shape of a hemisphere, and there is almost no difference from the outside. The only thing worth noting is that these buildings, without exception, are all equipped with objects such as antennas on the top.

The shape of these things was faintly familiar to Adele. After staring at them for a while, she recalled that these seemed to be detection antennas that could only be seen on some large-scale equipment.

"This...is it a scientific research station?" Adele had such a thought in her heart.

However, why should the scientific research station be built in such a place?On this ice sheet... is there anything interesting?

Before Adele told Li Ang about her speculation, another voice came from behind the two.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

Cancer of Immortality: Chapter 18 Magellan

It was a young-sounding female voice, but because of nervousness, the other party's tone sounded a bit strange.

If nothing else, this is the owner of these houses.

But in Li Ang's perception, the other party still stayed in the room without moving, so what happened to the voice behind them now?

After perceiving a certain object hovering behind them, a flash of clarity flashed in Li Ang's mind.

...is it a drone?

It turned out that the other party had already discovered their existence, but the other party did not choose to show up, but quietly released the drone to confront them remotely.

Moreover, the drone used by this person is not ordinary.

Although the wind in the canyon is not as violent as outside, it can still make it difficult for thin people to walk, but the drone behind them can still fly normally.

Li Ang also sensed a dangerous aura from above, and some kind of dangerous weapon module should be installed on it.

Of course, Li Ang can completely destroy the drones in the rear before the other party gives an order, but Li Ang is not here to fight this time. matter.

So Li Ang raised his hands as the other party said, and then shouted loudly, "Please don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions."

Naturally, the other party couldn't believe Li Ang's words so easily, but asked very vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Thinking about it a little bit, if someone broke into his yard at night, the other party would have been very rational without directly firing, and Li Ang didn't expect to convince the other party with a single word.

"We are scholars from Casimir. We originally planned to go to Sami, but we didn't expect to encounter a snowstorm on the way. We found this place by accident while looking for a shelter, so we want to temporarily avoid the snowstorm here." Adele replaced Li Ang and answered the other party's question.

After listening to Adele's explanation, the other party seemed to be in some kind of entanglement. After a long silence, he slowly said, "You said that you are scholars from Casimir, so... what can prove your identity? something?"

"Of course there is."

Li Ang took the words and replied, "We have an identity certificate personally issued by the Grand Knight Commander, which is used to connect with Sami. If you need it, we can let you take a look."

Just in case, Li Ang asked for the proof of identity from the Supervision Committee before he left. As for whether it was written by the Grand Knight Commander himself, he didn't know, anyway, the Grand Knight Commander's personal seal was stamped on that kind of certificate. In terms of proof, this is enough to prove their identity to any official force.

Seeing that the other party was in hesitation, Li Ang hurriedly said while the iron was hot, "We are only planning to avoid here for a while, and we won't cause you any trouble. As long as the blizzard is a little less, we will leave immediately."

After finishing speaking, the canyon fell into silence, only the sound of howling wind and the sound of drone propellers echoed nearby.

After a long period of thinking, the other party finally made a decision.

"...Well, until the blizzard stops, I allow you to stay here temporarily."

"There is an unused dormitory over there. You can live in it, but... I don't care whether you are scholars or anyone else. Except for that dormitory, you are forbidden to get close to any other buildings."

The other party warned, "Next, I will adjust the logic of the defense system. If something unexpected happens at that time, I will bear the consequences at my own risk. The self-discipline program is not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Of course, we will pay attention. Thank you for agreeing to our request. If there is another chance, we will definitely repay you." Li Ang said a few words politely.

A little surprised, this person is quite easy to talk to. Li Ang thought it would take a little more effort, but he didn't expect the other party to agree to them so easily.

"By the way, do we still need to confirm our identity? The identity certificate is now on the car, and it can be used now for you to confirm."

"No need." The other party replied flatly, "Even if you show the proof, I can't tell whether it's true or not."

"You decide."

Li Ang shrugged and said indifferently.

The identity certificate was originally just in case, it was pressed in the deepest part of the luggage, and it took a lot of effort to get it out, since the other party didn't want to read it, then Li Ang would save trouble.

"By the way, I don't know how to call this lady? This snowstorm may not stop in a short time, and we may have to communicate in the future."

"... Magellan."

Li Ang heard a bit of reluctance from the other party's tone, and he couldn't help being a little dumb.

Magellan... I'm afraid this is also a pseudonym, right?Forget it... it's really good.

"Then Miss Magellan, we won't disturb your rest, I hope you can have a good dream tonight."

As Li Ang and Adele entered the house designated by Magellan, the drone hovered in the sky for a while, and after finding nothing special, it also flew back to a house in the canyon.

-------------------------------------

"It really scared me to death..."

In the deepest room of the canyon, after recovering the drone from the skylight, the girl who called herself 'Magellan' patted her chest in shock.

Who would have thought that she was sleeping soundly, and suddenly two people broke in?

Blizzards are very common in this area, and Magellan has long been used to the weather here, but this is the first time someone broke into this place in so many years.

"This doesn't look like a scholar at all..."

After exporting the footage captured by the drone, looking at the two people on the monitor, Magellan couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
