Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

"Ugh, ugh, ugh—!"

He Wen, who was not in good health, was the first to vomit into his protective suit. Other maintenance personnel also had abnormal reactions of varying degrees of severity.

What baffled them even more was that Su Hao and Lucario's actions had teleported them directly to the center of the Weavile tribe!

The group of cunning, treacherous, and cruel men had already realized what was happening and immediately surrounded the group.

They are a group that can survive in the extreme environment of the Arctic, and none of these Mannuras, or even any Mannura, are weak.

While professional-grade Weavile is not ubiquitous, about half of all Weavile are at this level, with the strongest one even reaching the mid-stage Elite Four level!

This is also why the research station's maintenance team dares not come here to perform repairs.

If you encountered these thugs on the ice plains during a normal mission...

He Wen and the others would definitely turn pale and their legs would tremble like leaves.

But now they are not afraid anymore, because the support from their motherland has arrived, especially with champion Su Hao in their midst!

"More than two hundred or three hundred Weasels, such a number would indeed frighten most people."

Protecting everyone behind him, Su Hao remained completely calm and even had the leisure to use his waveguide to probe the entire Mavira tribe's population.

Articuno and Reshiram also joked through the Waveguide Channel, "How come you always run into Weavile? What a strange fate!"

"Thanks to that, I know best how to deal with them!"

Su Hao took a moment to retort, looking at the Weavile creatures around him who, despite having an overwhelming numerical disadvantage, still planned to launch probing attacks and sneak attacks to wear them down in order to hunt them without taking damage.

A smile appeared on his lips as he lightly tapped the Evolution Keystone that had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

"Lucario, Mega Evolve!"

"Ooh—!"

A dazzling light erupted from Lucario's center, wild black patterns appeared on its body, and explosive power and aura filled its body.

"Stop time, and then—"

"Close combat!"

The moment Su Hao gave the order, the world within a five-kilometer radius of Lucario suddenly turned black and white.

The shocked expressions on He Wen and the others' faces froze instantly, and the lifelike, cunning expressions of the Mawla also stopped at that moment.

What followed was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Space instantly distorted, and Mega Lucario's figure flickered between Weavile and Sneasel, as the close-quarters battle, enhanced by the Water Stream technique, erupted in a continuous barrage.

A short while later.

Super Lucario returned to Su Hao's side, time, which had been stopped, began to flow again, and the world regained its color.

A scene that He Wen and the others would never forget unfolded—

From their perspective, Lucario and Su Hao suddenly underwent Mega Evolution, and then, in the blink of an eye, at least five hundred Weavile and Sneasel, who had just been exuding an overwhelming aura, began to groan as fists struck flesh.

next moment.

They fell like harvested wheat, swathes of them lying down without the slightest resistance.

The once arrogant and domineering Mannura tribe was wiped out in an instant.

—Easier than killing a chicken back home.

This thought inexplicably surfaced in He Wen's mind, which was still reeling from the shock.

So this is the strength of our Shenzhou Alliance champions?

.......................................

Repairing a signal relay station is actually not difficult. Thanks to the efforts of the well-prepared maintenance team, the first signal relay station was quickly repaired.

Next, they guided Su Hao to repair the remaining four nearest signal relay stations.

From the moment the Weavile fell in droves, all the repair team members became Su Hao's most ardent fans.

—That's really amazing.

This firsthand experience of power surpasses all propaganda.

The overwhelming sense of security greatly accelerated their repair speed, and in less than half a day, the entire team returned to the Yellow River Research Station.

The stationmaster, who had expected the trip to take at least three days and at most a week, was completely dumbfounded.

However, they did not forget their main task and immediately began to activate the communication functions that had been restored.

The first thing to do was to report to the Shenzhou Alliance that the research station was safe and sound and that Su Guanjun had helped them.

He then began trying to contact several other research stations belonging to the Shenzhou Alliance, right in front of Su Hao.

Of the five research stations, one responded, while the remaining four remained eerily silent.

—Then, when a series of encrypted messages, seemingly from the past, were broadcast through loudspeakers, everyone's expression changed instantly.

The encrypted information uses the encryption method of Shenzhou Alliance, which can be directly recognized and decrypted by the system. It is a common communication method used between scientific research stations.

It will also be used to exchange confidential findings and results.

The transformed voice, tinged with fear, kept repeating those four words.

"Don't answer! Don't answer!"

My typing speed has slowed down due to my injury, and the update schedule may be a bit irregular. Please forgive me.

Chapter 1505 Ice Sculpture

"Don't...answer?"

The people gathered around the communication device looked at each other in bewilderment. Weren't we in the Arctic? What are we doing here?

And they even said not to answer, this isn't a sci-fi movie set.

But the station chief of the Yellow River Scientific Research Station seemed to have discovered something, and exclaimed in surprise, "That voice... I remember that voice, it's Old Liu's voice!"

"He is the director of the Yanhuang Scientific Research Station!"

Old Liu is an academic friend of the director of the Yellow River Scientific Research Station. However, one of them became the director of the Yellow River Scientific Research Station, while the other went to work at the Yanhuang Scientific Research Station, which is located in a more distant place.

Coincidentally, the target location of the exploration team led by Shi Wei on the Hope research vessel was the Yanhuang Research Station!

The stationmaster's words made the atmosphere around them even more tense.

He Wen, hiding behind the crowd, was already pale with fear.

It's no wonder he acted so timidly; the whole series of events was just too bizarre.

They learned from Su Hao that many research stations on the Arctic continent were out of contact. It was unlikely that the situation at the Yellow River Station would happen so coincidentally to all the research stations. Therefore, the most likely explanation was that these research stations had encountered some unknown danger.

Otherwise, champion Su Hao wouldn't have made a special trip to the Arctic.

At least from the perspective of the researchers at the Yellow River Station, that's the case.

The Yellow River Station just tried to contact the Yanhuang Scientific Research Station through the signal relay station, but there was no response from there.

Shortly after they ended the call, the Yanhuang Research Station sent a strange, encrypted message that sent chills down their spines.

Meanwhile, under the analysis of sweating technicians, a deeper secret contained in this encrypted message was revealed.

"This message is set to be sent periodically, covering the entire Arctic Circle, and is likely intended as a warning!"

"Just now, we received the same encrypted message again!"

Hearing this, Su Hao frowned slightly.

Since it is a warning message, the four words contained within it are somewhat special.

Does "Don't answer" mean that something terrible will happen if you answer?

The Yellow River Research Station is still discussing what exactly happened at the Yanhuang Research Station and why such information was sent out.

Su Hao had already noticed through the "watch terminal" given to him by Mewtwo that the light spots represented by the three exploration teams overlapped with the light spots of the lost research station.

This also means that they have all arrived at their respective mission locations, and whatever happens there should provide an answer by then.

Should I contact them here, or ask for help from myself when I encounter an unsolvable problem...? Wait a little longer, and I should get the answer.

....................................

The Arctic continent, the site of the Yanhuang Scientific Research Station.

"how so?"

Shi Wei's delicate face, hidden beneath her helmet, couldn't help but reveal an expression of disbelief.

The other team members had similar expressions to hers.

Because the scene before us looked rather bizarre.

In the vast Yanhuang scientific research station, which stands out against the wind and snow, some equipment that has not been maintained for some time has malfunctioned. Some remaining traces of life indicate that many people lived here not long ago, but the interior is eerily quiet.

Their team searched the entire research station but couldn't find a single human.

Attacked by wild Pokémon?

It's unlikely. Putting aside the research station's own defensive capabilities, even if there really was a wild Pokémon attack, the scene wouldn't be as completely undamaged as it is now.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't find a single person, as if at some point everyone at the Yanhuang Research Station had vanished into thin air.

And what's even stranger is—

"These are frozen... Pokémon?"

Not far from the Yanhuang Research Station, Shi Wei and her team discovered a large number of Pokémon ice sculptures that had been completely frozen.

After checking the information she had, she found that these Pokémon ice sculptures, in terms of both species and quantity, except for a few extra Ice-type Pokémon that should have been caught here, matched the Pokémon held by the members of the Yanhuang Research Station provided by the Shenzhou Alliance.

Who turned these Pokémon into ice sculptures?

Who caused the disappearance of the research station personnel?

Where are they now? Are they alive or dead?

Shi Wei instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
