Pollution throughout the territory

With curiosity and fear, the light of two flashlights shone at the same time, and found that there were a large group of white penguins walking back and forth in the long and narrow passage ahead!

(Open BGM here: SalvaNos)

These Antarctic beasts are simply from hell. Each one is about 1.8 meters tall and covered with fine white down. They are like nobles from the old century, walking elegantly. Facing the lights of the two people, the penguins feel self-conscious. They divided into two rows and made way for the middle of the road. They also made a hoarse sound that sounded like laughter and raised their flat upper limbs, as if to guide them inside.

Just based on this series of actions, Xia Ren and Professor Ford can tell that most of these penguins have considerable intelligence!

"To go or not to go?"

The scene in front of them was too weird, and neither of them felt confident.

After hesitating for two seconds, Xia Ren decided to follow Penguin's guidance and go in.

These penguins were not aggressive, and the two of them walked through the middle of the road they gave way to in fear, while also paying attention to their appearance.

They have probably been living in caves. Their eyes are closed and they may have completely degenerated. The albino bodies on their bodies can also confirm this. This group of penguins are completely cave-dwelling creatures.

But, what do they eat?

Could it be that while there is a lifeless desolation outside, an ecosystem has evolved in this cave?

After passing the penguin team, the passage in front of them became obviously wider. However, after they passed by, the penguins did not leave. Instead, they followed closely behind them while making a sound that resembled laughter.

Professor Ford was worried that their cries would attract the Ancient Ones or Shoggoths, but they had no choice but to speed up their movement in front of the penguins.

After walking around a corner, the view in front of them became wider. It seemed to be an independent room. In the center of the room, they actually saw two sleighs!

The frame has been hauled over complex terrain, and some parts have been shattered, but the main body is still intact.

Looking at each other in surprise, the two of them almost rushed over and saw the things they had dreamed of during this trip - toolboxes, food cans, and gasoline barrels on the car seats!

When Xia Ren and his rescue team were searching the base, they discovered that some things were missing. Now it seems that they were carried to this place by the ancient ones!

However, before the two of them could move forward, they saw two canvas bags with disturbing outlines next to the sleigh.

"Could it be..."

Professor Ford was more courageous than Xia Ren and took the initiative to open the package.

What was revealed inside were two human remains!

"These are the remains of Professor Kleinman and an assistant."

Professor Ford frowned and began to turn over the body.

"There are neat knife wounds on the remains. The wounds have been treated with precision, and there are signs that the internal organs have been taken out and observed... The ancients treated them as specimens and dissected them!"

What the scientific research team tried to do to the ancients was actually done by them. This scene seemed extremely ironic and horrifying.

"We can't stay here any longer, let's leave as soon as possible."

The continuous cries of the penguins behind him made Xia Ren a little anxious. Although they pointed out the right path for the two of them, their purpose was unknown.

There are two gasoline barrels, each weighing 20KG, which adds up to 80 kilograms. Xia Ren's physical injuries have become more serious due to the rush, and he cannot lift one at all.

Professor Ford said nothing and held one in one hand without much difficulty.

"You hold the can."

He threw the backpack containing several boxes of cans to Xia Ren, who could still bear the weight.

"Why are you so strong?"

Xia Ren said doubtfully.

"I've been traveling around the world, I'm used to it."

Professor Ford did not mean to show off and quickly ignored the topic.

However, when they wanted to leave, the giant penguins blocked the passage and continued to scream, as if urging them to move forward.

This move shocked Xia Ren and Professor Ford. What exactly did they want to do?

But they had no choice but to go back. They had been blocked, and they couldn't defeat dozens of penguins that were nearly two meters tall. They could only follow the other party's instructions and move forward carrying gasoline barrels.

"What does this smell like?"

As soon as they left the room, Xia Ren smelled the stench floating in the air. The penguins behind him were still screaming and urging them. The two of them could not look back and could only keep walking.

After another two minutes, they came to another room. When they saw the scene in the room with the help of hand control, they were both shocked.

There are seven bodies of ancient people standing in the room. These bodies are covered with green viscous liquid, and the stench is constantly emitting from the mucus. The bodies of these ancient people are seriously damaged. Judging from the condition of the wounds, It happened not so long ago.

"Did the penguins attack them?"

Xia Ren couldn't help but express his guess.

"impossible!"

Professor Ford refused.

"The body of the Ancient One cannot even be cut open with a scalpel, let alone the long beaks of the penguins. They are attacked by other creatures!"

Professor Ford's gaze continued upward and suddenly shouted: "They all have no heads!"

Xia Ren's heart suddenly tightened.

Isn't the scene in front of me exactly what is depicted on the relief outside, the scene of the battle between the Shoggoths and the Ancient One? The most common way they kill the Ancients is to twist off their heads!

"Oops!"

At the same time as these words were shouted, the wall in front of the two people shattered, an ancient person broke out of the wall, and the gravel splashed at the feet of the two people.

"Takle-Lee!"

The ancient man's body was also damaged, but he was still charging straight towards them!

"Run!"

The two set off at the same time. Xia Ren ran back without caring about his own injuries!

Then there was a loud "bang", and the two of them couldn't help but look back, both of them stiffened by the horrifying scene.

This is a creature that no words can describe in detail!

It is about five meters tall and exudes a nightmarish stench. Rainbow-colored ooze covers its body, keeping its entire body flowing forward. Its body is covered with countless eyes, which are constantly forming and decomposing. With that, it directly broke through the rock wall, and its squirming body wrapped up the ancient person who just ran out. What awaits the latter will be a desperate and tragic fate, and will eventually be like the other seven dead ancient people in the room. Same.

"Takle-Lee!"

The Shoggoth did not stop. Its countless eyes looked towards Xia Ren and rushed towards the two of them.

The penguins screamed even louder, and the loud sound that sounded like laughter echoed in the room, as if a group of fanatical cult believers were standing there waiting for the arrival of the gods.

The shoggoth directly crushed the frantic penguin flock to pieces, but wherever it glided past, the ground became spotless.

"Move! Run!"

Xia Ren roared with all his strength, biting the tip of his tongue, and finally regained control of his body in the horror of a nightmare.
