global pollution

Wen Yan took the lead and said.

"I'll go as well."

"This is a rare opportunity."

"It's hard to come here, of course I have to learn something."

Everyone agreed one after another, and then subconsciously turned their attention to Xia Ren and his wife.

"You two don't go, this month is exhausting enough, take a good rest at the base." Professor Qin said in an unquestionable tone.

Xia Ren kept looking at the text message in his hand, raised his head when he heard the words, and said, "I want to go with you."

His brow has been furrowed.

Others may not know, but Xia Ren has been exposed to pollution, and those strange fossil samples are definitely not that simple, maybe they are the old rulers that the system said.

"Then I'll go too!"

Lanaya didn't hesitate and chose to follow Xia Ren directly.

"You are a woman's family, why join in the fun, and these two days are when you are uncomfortable, just wait for me at the base with peace of mind, don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, nothing will happen."

After a few words of comfort, he finally persuaded Lanaya.

"Well then, you must come back."

Lanaya held Xia Ren's hand, with a slightly worried expression on her face.

"Will do."

"Call me by my name, or my wife."

Lanaya bit her lip. She noticed that during this month, Lin Xiao always referred to her as "you" when communicating with her.

She didn't know if it was because her husband was still brooding about the divorce, so she could only bury it in her heart and didn't take the initiative to mention it. Talk to him a lot.

Looking at her apprehensive and somewhat hopeful eyes, Xia Ren hesitated for a moment, then smiled:

"Yes, Lanaya."

Chapter 1 Mountains of Madness: The Scientific Research Team is Destroyed

So, after the 12-member team finally arrived at the base of the research team, they just took a shower, ate a full meal, and didn't even sleep. After a two-hour rest, they set off again and continued on their way against the cold wind.

The foot of the mountain was covered with snow, and the speed of the team was much slower than when they were on the ice sheet. Before they set off, they had contacted the scientific research team and told the other party that they were waiting for someone to go there, but they did not wait for a reply.

According to the terrain map given to them by the base assistant, the team finally came to the other side of the mountain at night, and found a leeward place halfway up the mountain to set up a tent. Professor Qin tried to contact Ford every once in a while, but always It was too late to get a response.

This obviously abnormal situation made Professor Qin a little worried, whether there was something wrong with the scientific research team, or their communicator was malfunctioning.

The team got up early in the morning of the next day and set off towards the hilly area. Facing the twilight from the ice clouds, they also saw the scene that Professor Foder had mentioned before.

In the front is probably the center of the mountain range, the main peak pierces straight into the sky, and around it, the ridges are in the shape of squares, guarding the main peak, which really looks like a building left by some ancient intelligent creature Otherwise, it is unthinkable that nature would have carved the mountains into this majestic appearance over hundreds of millions of years by coincidence.

At noon, Professor Qin contacted the scientific research team again to no avail, so he could only give up the idea temporarily. They were getting closer and closer to the hilly area, and if there were no accidents, they would arrive there in two hours.

As the terrain gradually flattened and became less steep, the speed of the sledge also began to accelerate. When they were fully focused on the road, a strange mirage suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

On the way here, they have seen at least a hundred times of mirage scenes, some of which are as vivid as what they see now, but although those scenes are real, they are far from being as grotesque as this time!

A megalithic city stands in the sky. Its architectural style far exceeds the limit of human imagination. The black stones are piled up in a pile, which not only reverses all geometric rules, but also makes people feel uncontrollably evil.

Most of the buildings in this city have only walls. From a distance, they seem to be composed of countless orthographic shapes, like a maze. Many places have collapsed, and some walls can be seen in the shape of a five-pointed star. At the top of the steeple, there is a bridge like a pipe, and in the distance, there is a huge, cylindrical shadow standing...

The scale of the whole city was so huge that it was depressing. It seemed that the scene that would only appear in a myth made the whole team subconsciously stop. Its appearance seemed to indicate that some kind of danger was coming.

The mirage scene gradually faded away, but the appearance of the giant stone city was imprinted in everyone's minds, causing them to feel inexplicable fear.

Xia Ren even had an illusion in his mind, as if he was in the center of those boulders, small and powerless.

It took a lot of energy to finally get those visions out of his mind.

Xia Ren knew that if the system was present at this time, he would definitely be able to see the rapid decline in his sanity just now.

Therefore, those illusions may all be real.

Seeing that the spirits of the other team members also became trance, obviously they have not recovered from the scene just now, Xia Ren didn't know if they also had hallucinations in their minds, something more serious, or had been polluted.

In the newsletter two days ago, Ford named this place the Crazy Mountains, which couldn't be more appropriate.

"If you go any further, you may die."

When this idea appeared, Xia Ren couldn't help but tremble even though he knew it was a dream.

However, also because he was in a dream, he couldn't stop the team from moving forward, he could only follow them and wait to meet his fate.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the team finally saw the outline of the tent stationed in the ice and snow according to the map, but after the mirage not long ago, the atmosphere among everyone was a little quiet, and no one could be happy.

When approaching the base, the ominous premonition was confirmed.

The husky pulling the sled seemed to smell something and started barking.

They found a lot of blood under the snow, and several stakes were driven into the ground, but the dogs that were supposed to help were missing from the ropes.

"Keep going!"

Professor Qin didn't stop much, and the team speeded up.

The closer they got, the thicker the bloody smell in the air, and even the icy wind couldn't completely blow it away.

When they finally arrived at the base, the horrific scene in front of them made these people who spent most of their time concentrating on research and work cover their mouths, squatting on the ground and vomiting uncontrollably.

It's hard to describe such a scene, even the worst war is kind enough compared to it.

Several tents had been damaged for unknown reasons, and most of them collapsed. They had no time to care about the situation inside the tents, because right in front of their eyes, there was a large pile of...flesh and blood!

It was a set of skeletons, some of which were too large and some of which were too small. It could be seen that they belonged to humans and dogs respectively. The skin, muscles and internal organs on the bones disappeared together. The corpses of humans and dogs were indistinguishable... ...mixed together!

Facing this pile of blood-colored skeletons, everyone else dared not go forward because of fear. Only Professor Qin walked forward step by step, as if he had lost his soul.

Torn clothes were scattered on the snow beside him. Professor Qin tripped and fell. Before he could get up in time, he almost crawled over and rummaged through a pile of clothes.

"what"

A howl that didn't look like a human being sounded in the cold wind.

He found a severed finger with a ring on it, exactly the same as the one he was wearing.
