A man in the ark was forced to become a king

Chapter 262 I'm Not Here

Being a scientist does not mean that you lack combat effectiveness. After all, even crocodiles can be doctors. As a scientific researcher, isn't it normal to develop some weapons for self-protection?

The same goes for Magellan. It is not an easy task to be stationed alone on the Arctic ice sheet to guard a scientific research station.

There are no logistics personnel and no armed defense, which means that in normal exploration, Magellan has to shoulder these responsibilities alone that should not belong to her, abandoning the strange stories spread in the ice fields and Sami, just those wandering in the ice and snow. The beasts on the earth are a big threat. If you want to deal with them and ensure the smooth progress of exploration, drones with a certain degree of intelligence and can act automatically according to preset programs have become an excellent helper.

In fact, drones for various purposes are extremely popular within Rhine Life, and many people regard these small things that can move flexibly as excellent helpers.

For Magellan, these small, easy-to-use drones are her best companions on the road to exploration.

The drones she commonly uses are usually cylindrical bodies. The upper fan blades move, making them easy to carry and have good performance. Depending on the usage scenario, she will equip the drones with different external modules. , to achieve special needs in certain scenarios.

The high-efficiency refrigeration module is most useful in the coldest land in the world. It can not only freeze and capture biological samples, but also play an auxiliary role in combat and limit the enemy's movements.

The main purpose of the laser mining module is to break through the hard ice to collect mineral samples, or to extract special substances frozen in the ice. The laser it emits can melt the ice, and it is also very powerful when used in battle.

The function of the armed strike module is to fight. After several improvements, it can fire small but powerful explosive bullets, and can conduct group attacks. It is Magellan's main source of force on the ice sheet.

If necessary, Magellan can control multiple drones at the same time for tactical coordination.

In a sense, her actual combat effectiveness as a scientific researcher is not lower than that of the operators of the Rheinland Life Defense Division, and she is even ranked higher.

Therefore, although the strangeness outside the door made her make some progress, Magellan was not actually too worried. She had stayed on the ice sheet for a long time, had rich experience, and had encountered many abnormal situations.

Maybe some wild beast is knocking on the door again this time?Or is it because the snowstorm has blown some obstacles that cause this sound?

Judging the specific situation outside the door based on past experience, Magellan controlled the drone to float towards the door, while he slowly moved to another table inside the room, which was her workbench and the entire scientific research station. The main console is directly connected to the external monitoring system of the scientific research station.

dong dong!dong dong!

The knocking on the door continued, and the surveillance screen on the screen switched with Magellan's fingers, maximizing the window at the front door.

The surveillance perspective moves slowly, reflecting all locations at the door, giving a clear view.

dong dong!

Another knock on the door sounded, but in the picture, there was nothing outside the door, nothing, as if there was something invisible standing on the surface, knocking on the door slowly and rhythmically.

"what is it then……"

Magellan had a vague feeling in his heart. He zoomed in on the ground in the surveillance screen again and turned on the lights outside the door. Under the bright light, he finally noticed subtle traces.

The footprints originally left at the door when I entered have been covered by the blowing snowflakes. The white snow reflects the light, and two of them are stained with gray and black, forming traces that appear to be claw prints. The color is not deep. It's not obvious, but it's there.

Invisible beast?

Some unorthodox source stone spells can achieve similar effects. Magellan didn't know much about this kind of spell. In her understanding, the spell might be able to deceive the human eye, but she wanted to be completely hidden under the surveillance of the camera. Physically, it's almost impossible.

However, it seems that the destructive power is not very strong.

Crunch!

Just as Magellan was thinking, the metal door of the scientific research station suddenly bulged inward, and the sound of metal twisting came in along with the wind and snow outside. Magellan shuddered, his pupils shrank, and he quickly activated all the current methods. The drones used surrounded the door.

Crunch!

The twisted cracks in the metal door expanded again, ice-blue mist sprayed out from the drone, and lasers shot out of the cracks, but did not hit the enemy, leaving only melting penetration marks on the snow.

squeak--

The edge of one side of the door seemed to be twisted by invisible sharp claws, leaving irregular traces. The damaged metal door was opened to one side, and gray and black colors flowed in from the snow like running water, seemingly in the air. It implies that the invisible enemy has entered the house.

"Lockdown mode!"

The drone quickly returned under Magellan's command. Ice-blue mist sprayed down, outlining a rickety humanoid silhouette in the air. Laser rays fell crosswise from three directions, exploding with dots of glare. The bullets from the armed strike module formed Intense barrages rained down on the human silhouette.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Magellan vaguely smelled a familiar smell spreading in the air, a bit like... canned herring?

No... I should say, it's closer to the smell of decaying animals and plants...

hum!

The transparent ripples spread suddenly, and the invisible force directly threw Magellan away and fell against the wall of the room. The table with samples and equipment fell over, leaving a mess.

Click!

The drone hanging in the sky was grasped by hands covered in ice mist, twisted and broken, and bright electric sparks sputtered out.

Boom!

A heavy landing sound was heard in front of me, and along with the shaking of the ground, the rancid smell that filled the air became clearer.

The crisis was so close that Magellan could already feel the wind and waves caused by vigorously waving her limbs hitting her face, which might land somewhere on her body at any time.

Don't think too much. It is impossible to rely on flesh and blood to stop the power that can easily tear apart metal doors and break drones.

"!!!"

At the critical moment, the penguin doll hanging on the waist suddenly started to shake. Black ripples visible to the naked eye spread out from the doll pendant, and a weird scream swept through the room instantly.

The outline of the human figure, which was gradually blurred due to the decrease in ice fog, stopped abruptly. It stopped moving forward as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and even made a retreating movement, as if it was extremely afraid of the ripples swaying from the pendant.

……

Snapped!

The red wine bottle held in his wings fell to the ground, with bright red water stains flowing out. The emperor, who was shaking the red wine glass, turned over and sat up from the boss chair, his small eyes suddenly widened.

Golden tree!

A thought flashed through my mind, and the leaves of the golden tree that had been placed on the table were held down by its wings, activating a rich golden light.

Swish!

Within a few breaths, a shirtless Lin Lu suddenly appeared in the office of Penguin Logistics. She yawned with half-squinted eyes, and there was a dangerous color in her eyes.

"Why are you so crazy in the middle of the night? If there is no suitable reason, I think I should eat penguin sashimi tomorrow morning!"

"It's business!"

The emperor jumped from the chair to the ground, pacing back and forth with his wings on his back. From the penguin's face, Lin Lu actually saw an anxious expression.

Not to mention how a penguin could make such a human expression... Is there anything that can make the emperor who has lived for so many years anxious?

This was the first time Lin Lu saw the Emperor in this state. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately stopped pursuing the matter of suddenly sending an emergency message to wake him up in the middle of the night.

"What alarmed you?"

"I am a...well, a little old girl, of the same race, you know, the kind that is rare..."

The emperor scratched his head with his wings, thinking about the words, but in the end he couldn't find an appropriate description.

"Friend, just treat her as a friend. The pendant I gave her has been activated."

"Okay, friend."

Lin Lu didn't dwell too much on such details, and asked curiously: "Has your little sister encountered something difficult?"

The specific situation is not difficult to determine. There are also golden trees with things like amulets and protective props, which can be passively activated and play a role when the holder encounters a crisis.

Combined with the emperor's expression at this time, this should probably be the case.

But, what's the use of asking him for this kind of thing?

The Golden Tree is not omnipotent. Although it has a very convenient teleportation support capability, it is only among the Golden Tree members who have sufficient level of blessing. If there is a stranger who does not belong to the Golden Tree, then he is powerless.

Could it be that that man had the golden leaf leaves sent by the emperor?

"She is a field operator of Rhine Life. She is stationed in the Arctic ice sheet all year round. I don't have time to say more about the specific situation. I came to you because I want you to think of a solution. The pendant on her body has a weak connection with me."

The emperor changed his usual cheerful demeanor and became serious. He walked around the office and asked as he walked: "You have a lot of weird stuff there. Is there any way you can provide some help through the connection between me and the pendant? I owe you a favor."

"This...even if you say so, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Lu thought for a while and looked embarrassed.

Again, the Golden Tree is not omnipotent. Even he is unable to provide support through a pendant with only a weak connection. What's more, that connection has nothing to do with the Golden Tree.

Although he didn't mind doing this favor, this kind of request was really a bit embarrassing.

"Wait a minute, you said she is in the Far North Icefield and is an operator of Rhine Life? Is her name... what is her name? Mai... Medivh?"

"Magellan, it's Magellan!"

The emperor's little eyes seemed to light up, and his tone became high-spirited.

"You really have a way?"

"Yes, yes, Magellan, Magellan, don't worry about these details."

Lin Lu waved her hand, and her answer was not very sure.

"If it's anyone else, I really can't do anything. If it's her, maybe it can be done."

"It just so happened that a few days ago, I asked Ceria to lead a team of several children out for exercise. Their mission was to go to the ice sheet to rescue a man named Magellan, who is probably the one you mentioned."

"In this case, give me something with your breath and I will try it."

"Need something?"

The emperor looked around and felt a little confused for a moment. What kind of thing with his aura could be used?

"Don't bother."

Lin Lu raised her hand to hold down the emperor who was circling around, and took a handful of hair from his round belly. She grinned and turned a blind eye to the screams of a certain penguin: "That's all!"

Are you kidding me, waking him up in the middle of the night and trying to fool him?

That's impossible!

According to Yan Guo, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. Someone in Talin cannot wait that long, and he will avenge his revenge on the spot!

……

In the far north ice field, Ceria, who was leading the team in the night, paused and took out a bright golden leaf. In her shocked eyes, the leaf that had just been taken out from the inner layer of her breastplate and still had The leaves that were exposed to the warm body suddenly exploded, and the scattered golden light gathered quickly, converging into a pale golden human shape.

"Teacher/boss/boss/chief/Mr. Lin?"

Several different exclamations sounded at the same time, and everyone recognized the identity of the golden humanoid. Who else could it be besides Lin Lu?

"Are you still on the road in the middle of the night?"

Lin Lu was a little surprised, but she didn't pay much attention. She raised her palm, and the golden light flashed. White penguin down appeared out of thin air in her open palm, wrapped in the rich golden light.

When the emperor rarely asks for help, he must help him if he can.

However, for this kind of thing, there is no need for his body to run to the ice and snow in the arctic ice field in the middle of the night to blow the cold wind. An incarnation that appears with the help of golden leaves is enough.

Even if he encounters any unexpected situation along the way, he can move his body over immediately.

"I won't say any more. McDonald's, the target of your mission this time, has encountered unknown dangers and is in urgent need of rescue. You must act as soon as possible."

"It's Magellan... Mr. Lin, we haven't determined the specific location of the scientific research station yet."

Ceria retorted subconsciously, frowning slightly.

If possible, she would also like to arrive at the scientific research station as soon as possible, but without being able to determine the location, it is useless to worry. Things will not turn around because of her personal will.

"It doesn't matter. Since I'm here, I must be sure."

Lin Lu tossed it casually, and the golden light wrapped in the penguin's down hung high, blooming with a blazing golden light. A shining golden light belt extended rapidly in a certain direction, lighting up the night sky along the way, like an aurora lying across the sky. Above the sky, it extends to an extremely far distance.

"You just keep moving forward, I will figure out the solution."

"learn."

Glancing at the band of light hanging above her head, Ceria nodded heavily and waved her arms. Gray-white substance seeped out of the air and covered everyone's body.

"Everyone has it, no need to save energy, just move forward at full speed!"

Chapter 263 Magellan’s lucky moment

No one asked why Lin Lu, who appeared in the form of an avatar, only showed them the way without using other measures.

As the captain, Ceria knew very well that Lin Lu had no reason to take action personally here. Although in daily communication, the boss was indeed a very easy-going boss who treated everyone equally, but in the final analysis, where was the identity? .

The leader of the Golden Tree is the power holder at the top of the pyramid in other organizations or companies. A person at this level has no reason to intervene in a small field mission, no matter how important the mission goal is to other people. , that has nothing to do with him.

Rather, the fact that he can appear in the form of an avatar and bring help has completely exceeded Seria's expectations - just like in Rhine Life, the general administration is always responsible for coordinating various departments and issuing general direction plans. Make decisive decisions without getting involved in the 'little things' within each department.

This principle also applies to the golden tree. Under the premise that the leader has already given help, their team has no reason to ask for more. The only thing they can do is to do their best to complete the task, so as not to let anyone cast their sights on them. The leader of the vast ice field felt disappointed.

From a personal point of view, Ceria does not need this, but the young people in the team do. On the one hand, they need a more perfect resume to welcome a better future.

Being poor at words is just a habit accumulated over a long period of time. It doesn't mean that she really doesn't understand it at all. She is just not good at expressing her thoughts on the outside.
