Chapter 388： Conjectures about the Antarctic continent (2 in 1)

., the fastest update to the latest chapter of my pet beast super fierce!

"We are leaving right away, it is not very safe here."

Shao Zifeng's words made the atmosphere in the camp stagnant, staring at the figure of the wind and dust in amazement.

The flames in the campfire are beating.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, many sparks flew out with crackling noises.

"Huh!"

A streamer with a tail flame flashed, and the racket hit the flame dragon wings and threw into Shao Zifeng's arms, raising his small fist and punching it.

Shao Zifeng's face turned pale, his serious expression instantly broke his power, and he grinned and coaxed the ball.

Good deed, this little guy can be beaten too hard.

If the three-piece suit is not thick enough, this one will have to be red.

Xiao Lu glanced at him, and narrowed his eyes as if gloating.

"Wow~"

The little icefield saber-toothed tiger suddenly became interested when he saw the bones, stumbled over and pounced on the bones, biting like a decent one.

"Xiaofeng, is this?"

Chen Yixin picked up the murderous saber-toothed tiger, looked at the pile of bones in the snow and asked suspiciously.

The eyes of other people also looked over, obviously they were also very curious about the origin of these bones.

"I found this on the mountain, there are many more there." Shao Zifeng stopped Qiuqiu's little fist, turned and pointed to the snow mountain not far from the camp: "I used a climbing pick to roughly dig, except for the thick piles. Outside of the thick bones, there is still a lot of feces buried under the snow next to it."

"According to my speculation, there should be a long-term nest for mutant creatures."

Shao Zifeng's words made everyone's faces slightly changed, but some people put forward the opposite opinion.

"Impossible. How can there be long-term nesting organisms in the environment of Antarctica? Even if there are individual mutant organisms that can survive here for a short time, how to deal with those long-lived food."

A chubby young man among the researchers pushed back his black-rimmed glasses and retorted.

His name is Wang Hongcai. He didn't like to be in contact with people when he was on the Xuelong. Some of them had high self-esteem and liked to sit in the leisure area and read books by themselves. The relationship between Shao Zifeng and him was limited to knowing the name.

Seeing Chen Yixin’s unhappy expression on his face, Yang Qi hurriedly touched him with his shoulder: "Hongcai, the professor said yesterday that everything is possible in the world now. You should listen to Zifeng’s younger brother to finish..."

"But that can't go against the laws of nature. Any creature that wants to survive for a long time must have a complete biological chain." Wang Hongcai argued with his neck, "Besides, even if the creature really existed yesterday, it steals us. The food means that there is no biological chain here."

"What does he understand as a non-research major in the war training department, how can he..."

"enough!"

Chen Yixin's face became more and more ugly, and Wang Hongcai considered herself so high that she knew it, but she thought that yesterday's lesson would make him make some changes, but she was still so stubborn.

Is this person sick?

Shao Zifeng was a little upset.

Tell me, what am I doing diss.

But in order not to make Chen Yixin difficult to do, Shao Zifeng forced his temper.

"The above is just my own judgment. I am really not a professional. I can't tell what kind of creature these bones belong to or how long ago they were eaten. So I brought a few bones of different depths back for you to see."

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit subtle for a while, and I felt that what Wang Hongcai just said was a bit too much. In any case, Shao Zifeng was kind.

"Huh!"

Qiuqiu also reacted that the fat man was questioning his own balls, and the little guy stared at Wang Hongcai viciously, sparks shooting from the corner of his mouth.

If it wasn't for being a little comfortable to be held by the ball, it would have to blow that guy's head.

Chen Yixin suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said with a cold face to the people next to Wang Hongcai: "Wei Yibo, please check these bones."

"Good professor."

The young man named Wei Yibo is of medium build and has a face that does not match his age.

Because he usually has a good relationship with Wang Hongcai, he casts a look at Wang Hongcai where he is, so that he can stop at it.

Wang Hongcai also woke up at this time, knowing that what he had just said was a bit overwhelming and made the professor unhappy, but as a researcher, how could he bow his head to a college student with the arrogance of being a researcher.

Upon seeing this, Wei Yibo sighed, knelt down and started to work on his own affairs.

He first took a wrist bone and looked at it carefully.

Except for the tooth marks on the dull bones, there are still a lot of muscle and tendon tissue on the bones and at both ends. He put the bones under his nose, sniffed, and pressed the remaining muscles with his fingers.

Then he picked up another one and checked the bones that Shao Zifeng had brought back and forth.

"How long was the last time there was sunshine in this area?"

Yang Qi quickly took out the specially equipped mobile phone and checked it: "About seven days ago."

Wei Yibo nodded: "In this environment, the identification of frozen corpses must be based on the environment and weather. If the environment of frozen corpses is kept at a low temperature, the time limit for the death of the corpse is difficult to distinguish."

"But fortunately, it is summer in Antarctica. Under the continuous sunlight of the extreme day, the snow on the mountain will slowly melt, and the dead body will be exposed to the sun and bacteria will start to breed."

"Although a short period of time is not enough to spoil the meat, it is difficult to distinguish it on the surface, but the difference between the melting and the smell will still be found through the smell and pressing."

"Like these two." As he said that he held two bones together and pressed his fingers down at the same time, only the minced meat on one of the bones rebounded slowly after being pressed down, and the other seemed to be Press the rotten meat that is destroyed inside.

"From this, it can be judged that after repeated thawing and thawing, the internal structure of the branch on the left has changed. Obviously, it is the bones of a long time ago."

"The muscle on the right is still elastic. Judging from the smell, this muscle has obviously not been exposed to sunlight."

"So." He got up and said to Chen Yixin, "Professor, judging from this bone, this bone will not exceed seven days, and the time may be shorter."

"Yeah." Chen Yixin glanced at Wang Hongcai and said to Wei Yibo: "There's more."

"This..." Wei Yibo knew what Professor Chen wanted him to say. He glanced at his good friend and said helplessly: "Judging from these bones in different periods, the time span of these bones may be more than one year. Besides. The individual bones all belong to the same kind of creature, which means that the mutant creature nest mentioned by Zifeng's younger brother can basically be judged to have a stable food source."

As soon as his words were uttered, Wang Hongcai's face was a little bit uncontrollable. He wanted to refute, but he knew Wei Yibo's level, and continuing to refute would only make people laugh.

"Mr. Wei, can you see anything else?" Zhao Li quickly asked after listening.

Their focus is different from that of others. In addition to the time of these bones, there is also the strength of the bones.

Judging by the bones, these are large creatures, and judging by the law of'big is strong', the strength of these creatures should not be underestimated.

The ability to hunt these large creatures as food can be imagined.

As if seeing everyone's nervousness, Wei Yibo said again: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Judging from the tooth marks on the bones, this creature's individual strength should not be very strong. It is very likely that it is a group creature that is good at hunting."

Not to mention it's okay, but the faces of the people in the Fire Phoenix Army are even darker.

Brother, do you understand it?

Race creatures with hunting habits are more troublesome.

If there are only one or two, they can sacrifice themselves to preserve the large force if necessary.

But ethnic...

Everyone is waiting to have fun together.

Regardless of other things, Zhao Li said quickly: "Professor Chen, we must leave here as soon as possible."

"I know, don't worry now." Chen Yixin said calmly: "Although I don't know what kind of biological group it is, generally this kind of ethnic creatures will not easily attack creatures other than their recipes. Even if they want to attack. , Will also observe for many days in advance, and will only do it after confirming that there is no threat."

"Moreover, it can be inferred from the description that the size of this ethnic group is not very large, even if there is a high probability of food shortage, it dare not attack us.

"Of course, unless we kill their offspring, they will become immortal." Chen Yixin smiled and looked at Shao Zifeng: "I don't think Xiaofeng would do such a thing?"

"How is it possible." Shao Zifeng waved his hand quickly: "That's a clearing. I haven't seen any living things except these bones."

After listening to Chen Yixin's words, everyone's nervousness calmed down a lot.

"What I am worried about now is the way down."

"Judging from what happened in the past two days, the danger to the Antarctic continent may not only be the harsh environment, but an alternative African continent."

Everyone fell silent.

Africa is famous for the variety and number of wild animals. There are more than 90 large ungulate mammals and more than 2,000 freshwater fishes, more than any other continent. There are about 3000 species of fish, about 238 species of amphibians, 58 species of reptiles, 589 species of birds, and 1100 species of mammals. It is called a paradise for wild animals.

Of course, this is before the'unknown recovery event'. Africa's development was already relatively backward, and more than 60 countries and regions continued to conflict.

Except for South Africa, hunger and poverty are the main themes there. After the "Unknown Recovery Event" broke out, African countries were unable to stop it. Only South Africa, the hometown of the ball, is still lingering. Most of the other areas have become forbidden areas for mankind, the real mutation Biological paradise.

They had just set off from the new station on the third day, and they encountered two different mutant creatures in the periphery. If it was really like Chen Yixin guessed, this is another kind of Africa, and the ghost knows what mutant creatures will exist next.

Without giving everyone too much time to think, Chen Yixin continued: "In order to deal with the mutated creatures that may exist, in the following journey, whether it is investigation or precaution, we must be cautious."

"This matter is going to be very hard, so I will leave it to you."

Zhao Li quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes. Please don't worry, Professor."

"Also, in addition to the original route, we have to adjust as many routes as possible. If the original route is dangerous, we will immediately switch to another route."

"This matter is handed over to Cang Haiyuan, Yang Qi and Wei Yibo."

"Professor Chen, don't worry." Cang Haiyuan slapped his chest: "I may not be as good as someone in a fight, but I am professional."

Shao Zifeng curled his lips, this person's mind was really small.

It's different like him, he is a man with a big heart.

I glanced at Wang Hongcai and saw his anxious expression because of being ignored.

Shao·Broad-minded·Zifeng's heart-minded is even broader.

Comfortable.

After making these arrangements, Chen Yixin did not appear very relaxed, but her face became more and more solemn.

"The detection of mutant creatures in the air and on land is handed over to the Fire Phoenix Army, but if there are mutant creatures underground, we will be very passive."

The Antarctic Continent is different from other places, some covered with smooth snow underground, in fact, there are countless gullies hidden.

It's okay if you just pass by, because these ravines are basically covered with melted water and ice. A few hundred kilograms of snowmobiles can be driven directly by putting on tracks. I am afraid that there are mutant creatures hidden in these ravines.

That is definitely a disaster for them.

"Let me do it."

When everyone was at a loss, Shao Zifeng suddenly said: "My mutant creature has perception skills. I will be at the forefront of the convoy by then. If there is a mutant creature underground, I can find it the first time."

"Xiaofeng, but..." Chen Yixin, who was still vigorous just now, showed hesitation on her face.

"Sister Yixin, don't worry."

"Hey!"

The ball is waving a small paw, although I don't understand what they are talking about, but Dandan is the best!

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

"Professor, I can testify about this."

Cang Haiyuan suddenly interrupted Chen Yixin's words. He recalled several experiences with Shao Zifeng This guy always seemed to be able to perceive danger one step in advance.

Of course, she didn't believe Shao Zifeng, but she didn't want him to take risks out of selfishness. She had to know that in addition to the attacks of mutant creatures that might exist, there were also holes under the snow.

But as the team leader, there are some things that are hard to say clearly.

At this point, she had no reason to stop it. Thinking of this, Chen Yixin glared at Cang Haiyuan.

Cang Haiyuan touched his nose, feeling a bit wronged.

"In that case, Zhao Li, arrange for two people to detect around first to prevent the mutant creatures from coming back suddenly. Others will pack the tent and other items as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Ha!"

Two fire phoenix pheasants screamed and quickly lifted into the air, the red figure dragging the tail flame hovering above the camp.

After a busy time, everyone in the scientific expedition team was neatly dressed and stepped onto the all-terrain snowmobile.

The blizzard outside was even greater at this time.

"set off!"

"Ha!"

Amidst the roar, under the leadership of the Fire Phoenix Pheasant, a group of convoys slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.

The original lively camp area only left messy car marks and extinguished bonfires.

Snow flakes raged in the cold wind, and soon the place would be covered with snow again, as if no one had ever been here.

boom!

Suddenly, a small figure fell from the mountain.

The falling snow buried it underneath, bulging a snow bag.

After a while, the little head with the snow stuck out from the snow.

It shook its head quickly, and flicked the snow on its head.

At the same time, the fresh blood at the corner of its mouth was thrown away.

The little head turned, and the amber vertical pupil looked anxious at the disappearing tent.

It lowered down and sniffed the smell of the snow, and then stepped on its two powerful hind legs and chased it in the wind and snow.
