Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 541 Greenland Ice Sea

While the Herons defense line was in full swing, Greenland, which was eleven time zones away from China, was in an almost eternal silence.

The real world, Greenland.

Here and Antarctica are the only pure lands in the entire human world that have not been involved in the flames of war. On this land covered by ice and snow all year round, there are the only large-scale refuges on the ground on the earth.

Many European and American refugees who were too late to enter the underground shelters ended up in this cold land, where they built a new home.

At the beginning of the nuclear winter, the total number of refugees accommodated in Greenland reached [-] million. Later, due to factors such as cold, hunger, and infectious diseases, when the nuclear winter ended, this number dropped to about [-] million. One in ten people died in the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero, but compared with other places, the survival rate of refugees in Greenland is obviously already very high.

The consortium alliance in the European region also selected Greenland as the location of its headquarters, and established a brand new "European Union" here.

Of course, this European Union is no longer an economic and political community formed between countries in the old days, but a super alliance formed by dozens of cross-border financial groups headquartered in the European continent.

There are a total of three alliances at this level in the world, one in Europe, one in China, and one in North America.

The 27-year-old Stuerk was a bank clerk before the war broke out, but now, he is a second-level evolutionary, a member of a mysterious force under the European Union that cannot be named.

Sturk is now rowing an inflatable boat with 29 other soldiers, floating in the sea three kilometers off the coast of Greenland.

Although it is not a freezing period now, there is still a layer of thin ice several centimeters thick on the sea level. Soldiers must use ice picks to smash this layer of thin ice so that the inflatable boat can pass smoothly.

"Project U" - this is an SS-level top-secret plan. As the executor of this plan, Sturk and his other 29 teammates only learned the details of the plan five hours ago. content.

However, they have been carrying out the training related to the plan for a year. Only now did Sturk understand why he had to accept the whole year of diving combat training.

"A team has arrived at the designated location."

"The second team has arrived at the designated location."

"The three teams have arrived at the designated location."

Three inflatable boats hovered above the sea surface in the shape of a letter, and a few unremarkable reagent bottles were thrown into the sea by the soldiers. Soon, with these three inflatable boats as the center, the temperature in this sea area dropped rapidly. Huge ice caps condensed on the surface of the sea.

The thickness of the ice sheet is four to five meters thick, and the diameter is more than three kilometers, just like a temporary floating island.

Sturk and the others jumped off the inflatable boat and gathered in the center of the ice sheet.

They are all wearing heavy winter clothing, but inside the winter clothing is a new diving combat uniform that adopts various advanced technologies and condenses many scientific and technological crystallizations.

The leading captain took out a device similar to a GPS locator, and after a few minutes of debugging, he raised his head and said to everyone: "That's right, the target should be right under the ice sheet."

Another team of soldiers immediately moved a cutter, cut a two-meter-diameter hole in the ice sheet, and then nailed several metal rods along the edge of the hole.

"According to the previous plan, the first team and the second team will go into the water, and the third team will stay on top to respond. If an accident occurs, then the third team will serve as the reserve team and will directly replace the first and second teams to complete the task."

After the captain finished speaking, the soldiers of the first team and the second team immediately took off their winter suits, connected the scuba to the breathing tube outside the diving suit, put two catapult harpoons on their backs, and finally put a The underwater rifles were fixed on the buckle on the chest, and after simple preparations, they dived down through the round holes one after another.

Sturk, as a relatively junior rookie, was assigned to the third team. Their task was to stay on the ice sheet and provide support to the two teams when necessary, or...as their substitute.

The figures of the twenty soldiers quickly disappeared into the pitch-black water, and even the lights of the diving lights on them quickly became dim and blurred, and finally merged with the darkness.

Their mission target is at a depth of 640 meters. Before that, the human diving limit record was 330 meters.

Thanks to this high-tech diving suit, this record was broken by Sturk three years ago, but as a training, they only dived to a depth of 450 meters in reality, and the only time it exceeded 500 meters. Mi's deep diving record was achieved in the virtual game world, but that time they encountered a mutant monster lurking in the deep sea, and none of them came back alive in the end.

Folded work tables were spread out on the ice sheet, and a complete set of sonar equipment was in operation. Two soldiers sat in front of the work tables, staring at the screen engrossed.

In addition to the sonar, all kinds of high-tech detection equipment have also been moved to the ice sheet—if it wasn't for the fear of bluffing, the original plan was to directly drag a scientific research ship here.

"Except for the serious electromagnetic interference near the target, which makes it impossible to detect, no abnormalities have been found so far." Sturk glanced at the equipment he was in charge of, and said into the communicator.

"clear."

The captain's voice was very dull, and it was mixed with a lot of electrical noise—due to the "mission objective", there has always been a huge electromagnetic interference field in this sea area, and only this kind of high-quality communicator can play a role. General military walkie-talkies are completely useless here, let alone civilian ones.

The first team and the second team continued to dive, and the depth has reached 400 meters, which is close to the highest record of their deep diving in the Greenland ice sea.

There are a large number of mutated creatures living on land, while in the ocean, there are many more terrifying existences than mutated creatures.

Before the nuclear war broke out, there were many strange species left over from the prehistoric period in the depths of the sea. After the war broke out, a large amount of pollution entered the ocean along rivers and rainfall, and most of these species died. Yes, as for those who survived, they turned into something more deadly.
