Drift ice waters.

Rumble!

The thunderous cracking sound kept ringing.

A huge floating ice cap was cut open by the hard bow of the Xuelong, and the penguins and seals living on it slid into the sea with their belly in panic.

The gray sky reflected the sea in the same color, and several steep icebergs appeared at the end of the sea horizon.

Several staff members looked nervous in the Funabashi control room.

Before entering the open waters of the Ross Sea, the most risky area is this drift ice sea.

Compared to the past, there are uncertain factors such as mutant creatures, and you have no idea what will happen next moment.

Therefore, they can only concentrate fully and carefully guard against any potential risk factors.

The captain patrolled the various workstations back and forth, and when he stepped in front of the observation radar, he frowned and looked at the continuously rotating display screen.

"Why didn't you report the iceberg ahead?"

"Report to the captain that the iceberg is 20 nautical miles away. According to the current wind direction and ocean currents, the iceberg does not pose a threat to our course." The observer replied, looking ahead, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Naughty, did you calculate the volume of the iceberg out of the sea?" the captain scolded and shouted to the pilot: "Left rudder ten, return to the main course after bypassing the iceberg."

"Left rudder ten, received."

After the captain gave the order, the control room became busier.

Various reminders flashed continuously.

......

The viewing room of the Xuelong Hall.

Everyone nestled on the sofa in their most comfortable position, looking at the stationmaster Cui from time to time.

Shao Zifeng carried the dinner plate and secretly stuffed a small piece of meat into his collar.

The ball was a little ashamed of seeing people because the scales hadn't grown out, and it was hidden in the inner lining of Shao Zifeng since going out.

It happily ate the meat pieces fed by Shao Zifeng, and squinted happily.

Station Master Cui took a sip of beer: "What I want to tell you happened more than ten years ago. At that time, I was as young as you, and it was my second trip to the Antarctic continent."

Seeing stationmaster Cui fell into contemplation, everyone listened quietly.

"After drifting at sea for more than a month, our icebreaker entered the drift ice sea."

"At that time, there was no such panoramic window on the icebreaker. It was cold and windy and we young people could not go out. If we couldn't hold it back, we would lie on a small porthole and look out."

"A piece of gray between the sea and the sky, the ice floes rolled up by the violent wind and waves hit the hull of the ship. After watching it for a long time, it feels very boring."

"It was already the third day after entering the drift ice sea area, and one day you could cross the drift ice sea area to the open sea area of ​​the Ross Sea, which is a rare and safe sea area outside the Antarctic Circle without drift ice."

The sound of Xuelong breaking the ice floes faintly heard, and with the sound of Ruoyuowu wind and waves, and the impact of ice floes, everyone was gradually immersed in the story of Station Master Cui.

"Just when everyone thought they could cross the drifting ice sea safely this time, suddenly the alarm inside the ship sounded."

As he spoke, Captain Cui's tone was eager, and everyone's hearts were raised.

"One of our group was named Li Changgeng. He was the first to run to the porthole, and when he saw the sight outside, he fainted with a strange cry."

"When I saw this, I ran over quickly, and the scene outside the porthole made me remember deeply."

Speaking of this, the stationmaster Cui stopped, took a sip from his beer glass, and then played with his phone.

"What do you see, Mr. Cui, please tell me soon." The electrician who was booing before urged.

Station Master Cui put down his phone and glared at him: "Just you can't hold back your breath."

"I remember that scene as new to this day, and since that time I woke up from my dream many times, and I couldn't let go of it for a long time."

"Looking through the porthole, an iceberg suddenly emerged from the water, and seawater was flowing down from the tens of meters of the mountain. What is even more frightening is that our ship has no time to turn around and is about to hit it..."

Toot toot~

As soon as his voice fell, the harsh sirens suddenly sounded in the viewing room.

Everyone's body tightened instantly, and they looked out the window with horror.

However, apart from the densely packed ice floes, there were only unknown seabirds flying at low altitude in front of the Xuelong, and there were no icebergs.

Seeing this calm scene, they subconsciously looked at the stationmaster Cui.

"Hahahaha."

There was silence in the viewing room, only the person who was smiling at the stationmaster Cui turned on his back, and he pointed his finger at the phone screen.

"The alarm I set before rang, it's not irritating, hahahaha."

Everyone looked at this old man with a dark face.

"Okay, okay... Stop making trouble."

Being stared at by so many unkind eyes, Station Master Cui couldn't laugh anymore. He cleared his throat: "Go on and talk."

"Speaking of the sudden rise of the iceberg, all of us are desperate. This is a ship killer. Whether it's the Endurance in 1914 or the sightseeing cruise of the previous years, it crashed one by one."

"But who ever thought that the iceberg suddenly sank when it was about to hit?"

"It's really frightening to think about it."

After finishing talking, the stationmaster Cui drank beer happily, but the others quit.

Electrician Xiao Chen was the first to shout: "That's it?"

"Yeah, we used this to fool us after listening for a long time."

"And that Li Changgeng you mentioned, didn't he jump into the mist before Why is he dizzy again?

"That's... how much an enemy Li Changgeng has with you."

As more and more people attacked him, Cui Zhanjiu couldn't drink anymore. He quickly turned his mind, thinking about what else he could blow.

At the same time, he yelled: "Who said it's gone, I'm not just remembering...you, just you, or you."

After suppressing everyone with his unrelenting style, the stationmaster Cui continued talking.

"This is what we learned later. Since the'unknown recovery incident', many scientific research ships have encountered this situation."

"Later, some scholars speculated that it was because the mutant creatures used the iceberg as a toy when they were playing and dragged it under the sea before letting it float up. As for why they did this, there is no way to verify it."

"Later we called this iceberg "Yin Bingshan", alas...there are too many secrets in the deep sea, and humans' exploration of the current world is too low."

After saying this, everyone still didn't buy it, you said and I hurt the behavior of the stationmaster Chen Cui.

Shao Zifeng sat quietly on the sofa and fell into contemplation.

It has only been more than 20 years since the "Unknown Recovery Event". The living space of mankind has been greatly reduced. There are too many unsolved mysteries in nature.

The key point is that many textbooks now use old textbooks, and some so-called experience and common sense are no longer applicable.

In this case, it is easy to accidentally follow the previous experience.

do not know either...

Toot toot~

At this time, the harsh alarm sounded again.

Along with the alarm, the red warning light flashed continuously.

Everyone looked at the stationmaster Cui subconsciously, but saw him pale and looked out the window.

Following his gaze, everyone's complexion also became ugly.

This is really a crow's mouth.

What to say.
