Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 270 Gas Station (4k)

After speaking, Rebalco probably realized that he had lost his composure, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

He took out the last one and ignited it and sucked it hard, feeling a little more stable.

The greedy look in his eyes also faded, and his eyes became a little confused.

"Mr. Chu's body is still on that island, I want to bring him back."

"I know Chu is your friend, and I am also very grateful to him. If he hadn't stayed to block those big snakes, we would all have died." The doctor sighed.

But he immediately raised his head and asked seriously: "But Captain, do you really believe that the island exists? You must know that it may be an illusion of all of us. The coordinates on the nautical chart have no land at all."

Unexpectedly, Rebalco's attitude was extremely firm, and he said firmly: "I believe, and my instinct tells me, as long as we find Leviathan, we will be able to return to that island."

Now the doctor was stunned: "Is that island related to Leviathan?"

Rebalco pointed to his ears: "When I witnessed the aurora, I heard the singing of whales."

The doctor's eyes widened in surprise: "I didn't hear anything, and neither did the other brothers."

"Infrasound." Rebalco said in a low voice: "Leviathan's singing is a kind of infrasound, which is inaudible to most people, but I was born with hearing impairment, so I had a cochlear implant in my early surgery. This device makes I can hear voices that normal people can't hear."

"That day, I heard the sound of my whale in the aurora. It was like the song of the siren, but much lower."

"You never told us about it!"

"Because I'm not sure, the voice came and went in my ears at the time, it was like a hallucination. But those rich guys suddenly bought this ship to go whaling, and the two matched. I believe they Definitely know more, just don't want to share it with us."

Rebalco exhaled the smoke ring, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"This is fate! Fate made us meet them, they will lead us to find Leviathan, and Leviathan will bring us back to that island!"

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, and Rebalco and the doctor shook their heads at the same time.

Rebalco had a sharp tactical dagger in his hand, and the doctor took out an AK47 from nowhere.

A man stumbled into the medical cabin.

After fixing their eyes to see the appearance clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who came was a crew member under Rebalco, a trustworthy member of his own team.

"Captain!" The crew finally stopped, but they didn't stop for a moment, panting loudly, "There may be survivors!"

Hearing this, Rebalco and the doctor both had incredible expressions in their eyes.

……

The snowmobile was coming at a high speed, with snow and dust all over the sky behind it, and Rebalco jumped off the motorcycle before it came to a complete stop.

The place where the survivors were found was a large island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago, located in the northeast of the archipelago, named Alexandria Island.

The AAl is moored next to the ice shell where the scientific expedition team died, and it is still more than ten kilometers away from here.

It was unimaginable to find survivors so far away, and it was hard to imagine what kind of survivors could survive in the ice and snow for half a month.

There are no permanent residents on the Franz Josef Land archipelago, but there are research stations with meteorological data collection.

In previous years, Inuit people who are accustomed to living in alpine regions were employed by the Russian Academy of Sciences to take turns here.

But this summer, the Arctic Circle has been uncharacteristically cold, and the research station has been evacuated for a month to ensure the safety of researchers.

Before they leave, all the diesel engines used for heating will be turned off, so there is not even a single source of heat in this deserted archipelago, let alone food and water.

Even if the survivors brought their own food, there was no reason why they could survive such a long time in the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero.

What's more, there are hungry polar bears and arctic foxes nearby, and these predators can smell their prey from kilometers away.

Although their main course is not human, but after being hungry for such a long time, even the ants smelled by them is a dead word.

When Rebalco arrived, Schneider had already arrived ahead of schedule with Caesar and Chu Zihang.

But they should have just arrived, and they were standing beside a well with solemn expressions.

This artificial facility is not marked on the map, and it is not a short distance from the research station. Maybe even the scientific research team stationed at the research station will not visit this desolate island. Naturally, no one will know about this time. The ancient well.

It looks really old, and the signs of age are clearly visible on it.

The crew was hard at work clearing the snow from the well, and brought out a few rusty metal products.

Some of them are tools, some are the casings of some old bombs.

A white figure was lying beside the mouth of the well, just like the victims found before, completely dead.

He was wearing the same uniform as those of the previous scientific expedition team. Not far away was an overturned snowmobile, and the deceased's legs were broken at the knees.

This kind of situation also happened to those who died before. It seems that their feet were frozen in the ice, and if they twisted hard, they would snap off.

It's an incredible thing...

Rebalco squatted down and carefully observed the movements and appearance of the white figure.

At the same time, the course of the disaster was running through his mind.

It seems that a lucky member of the scientific expedition team managed to escape by driving a snowmobile at that time. He may have wanted to enter this well to escape the severe cold.

Unfortunately, he is still one step away.

Only less than one step away, he desperately grasped the mouth of the well, turned his head and looked, the severe cold was already close at hand, he could only watch helplessly as the severe cold killed him in an instant, even his frozen pupils were full of panic color.

Schneider glanced at Caesar and Chu Zihang, they were different from Rebalco who was reasoning.

They knew that these people died from the ultra-low temperature caused by a speech spirit, and the speech spirit always has its own effective range, which is called "field".

But... ice and low temperature?

This seems to be very different from Niord's Sea of ​​the Underworld.

If Niord passed over the Faras Josef Land Islands, then it should be a tsunami and acid rain, and there will never be a little land left on this island.

But the current situation is obviously that a low temperature field covers the island.

Judging from the man who fled to the mouth of the well, that low-temperature field probably couldn't cover the entire Faras Joseph Land archipelago.

When the incident happened, he saw his companions were killed from a distance, so he jumped on the motorcycle and turned around to escape, avoiding the attack of the speech spirit.

It's just that the ultra-cold air in the field and the surrounding atmospheric convection caused the temperature in the surrounding area to drop sharply by more than ten degrees, plus the regional ice and snow storm caused by air convection, he failed to escape successfully.

Schneider handed Rebalco a tool that he had just picked up from the well.

Rebalco glanced at it, and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

On the handle of that tool was engraved the emblem of a certain German party in the last century.

No wonder the well is not marked on the map, it turned out that it was built in Germany before 1945.

There have always been legends that before the demise of Germany, the Führer established secret underground bases in the Antarctic and the North Pole.

Those bases were guarded by the most loyal SS, and there were also the most advanced laboratories at that time, developing unknown super weapons, trying to restore the Third Reich in the future.

This legend turned out to be true.

Did they really find the entrance to the base preserved by the head of state by accident?

This magical turning point is just like the orcs and humans in World of Warcraft are fighting a siege battle, and a protoss aircraft carrier suddenly appears in the sky.

"No one has used this facility for many years." Rebalco quickly came back to his senses and got rid of those rambling thoughts in his mind.

The actual situation should not be that complicated. This is most likely just an ordinary well, which may even be full of garbage, and the person who fled here just happened to know that there is such an old abandoned well here.

It is not difficult to build a small survival base in the Arctic Circle based on the original German technology, so this discovery has lost its value.

Thinking of this, Rebarco felt extremely disappointed.

Schneider looked at him and pointed to the mouth of the well.

Rebalco was puzzled, frowned and looked down in the direction of his fingers, only to find that the dead man was holding a rope tightly in his hand, and the other end of the rope went deep under the snow.

It's not that he failed to climb in when he came to the well, but he first hoisted something into the well with a rope.

He died after doing this.

That thing is obviously more important than his life!

……

"How far do we have to go?" Mai Jiutoku looked ahead in confusion.

There is snow everywhere, and occasionally some high and low slopes and bald high-latitude vegetation are seen, but there is still no trace of human habitat.

They've come a long way from City 023.

Along the way, Lu Mingfei is making choices, and the destination is undoubtedly the place he wants to go.

Ke Toku Mai now has some doubts, does this guy really know his way?
The two of them looked like arctic foxes running wild in the snow.

"do not know."

The corners of Jiu Toku Mai's eyes twitched: "This answer is quite shocking."

"You have to trust my instincts."

Lu Mingfei spoke words that Jiude Mai couldn't understand, and looked into the distance, as if he could see the scene hundreds of kilometers away.

"People generally live along the river. We are now in a U-shaped valley. If you follow the frozen river ahead to the end, you may be able to see the village."

"Can you remove the word maybe?"

"No, because I am not sure whether the living habits of Russians in high latitudes are like this."

After a while, the two of them really found a foothold, and it was exactly as Lu Mingfei said, they found this place as soon as they left the valley.

But not a village, or an abandoned research base or anything like that.

It's a gas station!An empty gas station, covered in thick snow.

This is naturally a normal building in an urban area.

But it is very strange to appear on the frozen Siberian plateau.

Lu Mingfei picked up the oil gun, looked at the oil coming out of it, and couldn't help sneering.

Some people didn't seem to mind exposing their purpose, they built reception places along the road and prepared necessary supplies for them.

Combined with the hovercraft that appeared in City 023 before, it seems that the other party is going to send him off for the last time.

"You said that if I turn around and run away now, he will become Sabie."

Mai Tokuro was stunned: "What?"

She still hadn't recovered from the surprise of her escape from death, and she didn't think carefully about the origin of this weird gas station.

"It's nothing."

Lu Mingfei shook his head, turned around and walked into the gas station to find something to eat.

As expected, the gas station also thoughtfully prepared all kinds of food for them, everything that one could expect.

It feels like a "meal before you die" kind of thing.

At this moment, it seems that all his demands will be fulfilled. Maybe a company of strippers will fall from the sky and slowly spin in front of him when he looks up to the sky and shouts "Give me a dozen girls".

Lu Mingfei boiled water for instant noodles.

Over there, Mai Jiude found a gas stove to keep warm, but was held down by Lu Mingfei.

"Is it fatal to light an open fire in this place?"

Mai Tokuku was stunned for two seconds, and quickly realized that they were in a gas station!
The brain cells restricted by the side effect of dragon transformation are also awake a lot at this moment.

"Why the hell is there a gas station in this place?"

"Take it as my fate." Lu Mingfei smiled, but didn't point out.

Mai Tokuro frowned, and crouched in a corner thinking.

In the Siberian plateau area, it started getting dark at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Their best choice now is to spend the night in this gas station specially prepared for Lu Mingfei.

The small shop at the gas station has water, food, and good spirits. At least there is no need to worry about the risk of freezing to death before leaving Siberia.

The two were eating instant noodles, and Lu Mingfei thoughtfully added a marinated egg for himself.

There was heavy snow outside the window, and the light from the oil lamp was reflected on the glass, creating an inexplicable atmosphere like when the rural power was outage when I was a child.

"Do we look like the Christmas couple on TV now?" Lu Mingfei held the instant noodles and sipped on them, "It would be more like a roast turkey."

"Although I really don't want to interrupt your beautiful imagination, but it's June now, which country have you seen Christmas in June?" Said Mai Shutoku.

"A friend once told me that every day can be a holiday if you want to."

"Absurd."

Lu Mingfei retorted: "There are factual arguments for this, at least for so many years in my life, I have lived the same festival every day."

"What holiday?"

"Singles' Day."

"Heh~" Mai Tokuro was amused by him, because the solemn mood of this suddenly appeared gas station also relaxed a lot.

"You said, this place should be full of bugs and cameras, right? There should be a guy watching us chatting in a warm room, just like watching a football game." Lu Mingfei looked around.

Mai Tokuku's relaxed heart immediately lifted up again.

There was something in Lu Mingfei's words, obviously he was telling her something.
