The system is the king of the counterattack master

When Han Xiaodong proposed to go deep into the underground ruins to find out the secrets of poisonous gas, even the albatross, who had sworn before, "If he has an accident, he can explain to Saturn", also made a difficult case.

"It's a bit dangerous, isn't there any other way? It can be broken down or diverted. Antarctica is so big. Let's guide them to another head office. I heard that you have a good relationship with the four major families, so you can't let them sponsor you. order?"

Han Xiaodong shook his head when he heard Albatross's words. He finally understood that the old fox really regarded him as the father of the funder. He hoped that he would help upgrade the equipment to maintain the status quo as much as possible. But he also understood that this is Absolutely impossible.

"Do you know why the poisonous gas suddenly became uncontrollable?" Han Xiaodong asked Albatross a question that he thought the other party couldn't answer.

"It should be caused by global warming. A large number of icebergs in Antarctica are melting. This may have an unpredictable impact on the underground environment." Seeing that Albatross was at a loss for words, John next to him took over.

If it weren't for K's sufficient understanding of this microorganism, Han Xiaodong would have felt that this guess was somewhat reasonable. Unfortunately, facing him who already knew the real reason, this answer was too far off topic.

"They are growing, or in other words, waking up." Han Xiaodong said, putting two photos of himself taken with an electron microscope in the laboratory on the table.

"I want to go down to find the source of these poisonous gases. Dr. John may already know that these green gases are not poisonous gases, but a collection of microorganisms. Because they are too light, they can float in the air." Han Xiaodong As he spoke, he pointed to the colloidal creature on the photo.

"Yes, we already know this, but we don't have better research equipment, so we can't know what the structure of these microorganisms is like. If you give me..."

"Even if I give you the best biological laboratory in the world, you still can't figure out what's going on with them." Han Xiaodong interrupted John's words bluntly, only saying that John was stunned.

"These things are simply beyond our understanding. If you really disassemble him, you will find that his structure is different from all the creatures you know.

There is no nucleus, no chromosomes, no DNA, RNA, and the biological structures that support their survival are completely different from ours, so we can only destroy them, but we cannot study them. "

Han Xiaodong explained his previous words in a serious manner, but John and Albatross were confused.

"You mean...they are alien creatures?" Albatross was the first to react, obviously this answer was also wrong.

However, Han Xiaodong was too lazy to explain the world of singularities to them. That world was too complicated to explain and too difficult for others to understand, so he simply said, "Just take it for granted. In short, they are completely different from us, and we can't study them.

However, one thing I can be sure of is that these creatures have a matrix, and someone must have frozen the matrix before, suppressing some of its functions, so you can still control it.Over the past 70 years, the microbes released by the mother have been trying to save her, their speed is slow, but the effect is obvious. "

After finishing speaking, Han Xiaodong took out John's report again and put it directly in front of the two of them: "In fact, the gas flow rate has been increasing in the past 70 years, but the rate of increase has gradually exceeded your control. , if we don’t get rid of that hapless mother body, it won’t be long before Base No. [-] will become the starting point of human extinction.”

Looking at the histogram on the report, Albatross looked a bit ugly: "You mean that these numerical changes are actually caused by that mother body?"

Han Xiaodong nodded: "You can understand it this way for now, anyway, I have to go down."

Seeing that he was so firm, and the situation was so serious, Albatross and John glanced at each other, and finally both sighed, and could only nod their heads in agreement with his request.

The preparations were very simple. Han Xiaodong didn't bring any equipment, only some practical things like flashlights, and followed the guides to go straight down to the elevator.

"Are you sure you want to go on like this?" John looked at Han Xiaodong with strange eyes.

No wonder he would say that, the young man in front of him was wearing a very ordinary coat without any protection, which seemed to him to commit suicide.

"Can your protective clothing withstand those poisonous gases?" Han Xiaodong asked rhetorically, blocking John from saying a word.

He had to admit that in the poisonous gas area, the protective equipment could not play any protective role at all, and even the one-piece protective clothing could be invaded. This once made the expedition members of the Ark turn pale when they talked about exploring the ruins.

"So let's use my method."

Han Xiaodong patted his chest lightly. His so-called own method is actually a variant of air shield technology, which has strong impermeability.

It's just that this technique also has disadvantages. He needs to use the air prepared in advance, which will limit the time he can stay in the ruins.

Anyway, Han Xiaodong didn't expect to solve this problem all at once, so naturally he didn't take this matter to heart.

"There is a tunnel dug 60 years ago going down this passage. I don't know if it can still be used. If you go down, you must remember to close the isolation door. I don't want to die so early. "

Albatross' exhortation still sounds so unreasonable, Han Xiaodong is used to it, so naturally he won't bother with him.

After all, although the words were a little impersonal, what he said was the truth. Once the gas leaked, Han Xiaodong could escape with the air shield, and everyone in the base would be finished.

Carrying a small backpack down the wellhead, Han Xiaodong's heart rose to his throat along with the tooth-piercing screeching sound of the elevator.

"Are you sure you can handle the mother body? I don't want to become a zombie, at least not before I marry a wife." Han Xiaodong asked K worriedly.

"I didn't guarantee that I could solve the matrix."

K responded unceremoniously, but before Han Xiaodong changed his face, he added: "However, if you want to say that you will not be infected, I dare to guarantee it. Before you enter the tunnel, you should first think about how to close the isolation door. Pry it open, I checked the circuit, the innermost isolation door has been damaged, I'm afraid it has to be unlocked manually."

Han Xiaodong weighed the crowbar in his hand, knowing that what K was talking about was laborious work, and it was really wishful thinking to expect that the tunnel that had been useless for 60 years could still operate normally.

The elevator went down for more than ten minutes before stopping abruptly. When Han Xiaodong turned on the flashlight and walked into the tunnel, the scene in front of him made him gasp.

Above his head was a thick ice layer, and inside the ice layer, there were some dark shadows. When the flashlight hit the shadows, their real bodies appeared, which were the dead bones in the photo.

The actual number of dead bones was far more than the photos. Han Xiaodong walked all the way down the tunnel for about half an hour, and the dead people above his head were never broken, as if it were a scroll mural made by dead people in hell.

The passage winds down, and just when Han Xiaodong is depressed about the end of this deadly road, he suddenly stumbles.

He quickly pointed the flashlight at the thing that almost tripped him and fell, only to see a strange-looking dead man lying across his feet.
