Thrive in Catastrophe

Xiao Yan knew that no matter how beautiful the scenery in front of him was, the moment he left the cabin, he would face a cruel polar environment.The average wind speed here can reach 18 m/s, and the lowest temperature can even reach minus 88 degrees Celsius.When walking on the ice, you must pay special attention to ice cracks. Every step you take may be the last step of your life.

Crossing the glacier area, you come to an endless ice sheet, and above the ice sheet is the Antarctic base established by Shire.It's just that the base was obviously under attack, part of the base was seriously damaged, and the tower on the south side completely lost its function.

Xiao Yan couldn't help exhaling a sigh of relief, it seems that the Tide Organization is really determined to win this base.

The parking channel was blown up, and the aircraft could only hover above the base.Heine gave the order to leave the cabin, and Mark was the first to lift the safety device and come to the cabin door. The moment the cabin door opened, the cold wind poured in, making a huffing sound, Xiao Yan's face was almost wrinkled, and it entered the nasal cavity. The cold air seemed to freeze his breath.

Liv took out a potion from the equipment on her thigh, and sprayed it on Xiao Yan's face.Immediately, the feeling of frozen facial skin is relieved.

This is a thermostat developed for the armed forces, which can temporarily insulate the skin from damage caused by low and high temperatures.

Liv smiled slyly, "Your face is frozen, someone should feel sorry for you."

"What?" At this time Xiao Yan had come to the hatch and confirmed that the sliding rope was about to jump off.

Liv shook her head.

Xiao Yan took a breath and jumped down according to the training.The sound of the wind was raging in his ears, and the speed of the fall was heart-stopping. When he reached a certain height, he decisively adjusted the sliding rope to consolidate, increased the friction force, weakened the falling speed, and landed calmly.

And Heine stood not far away and looked at him.

"Colonel." Xiao Yan admitted that he was a little nervous. Every time in the past, Heine took him out of the aircraft.

"En." Heine nodded, turned and entered the passage.

The ground portion of the base has been disabled, and Haine's troops have entered the base's underground.The one who greeted them was Colonel Luther, the commander. He was older than Shen Bing, with short flaxen hair and a sickly pale complexion.

He saluted Heine, and glanced at all the special forces, "Colonel Burton, all personnel in our base are ready to evacuate, all research data has been encrypted and extracted, and the final sampling of the 'comet' virus has also been completed. May I ask Mr. Ewell Where is the research team that will be sent? I will personally lead them to do the final field analysis."

"Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan." He Yin gestured towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and saluted Colonel Luther, "Colonel, I am Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan from the Central Academy of Sciences, and I will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the comet virus!"

Colonel Luther was stunned, he stared at the young officer in front of him, and then became angry, "Colonel Burton! What's going on! This is the last chance for on-site analysis of the comet virus! Shire should send a The entire scientific research team! Even if it is not a team, it should at least be an elite above the school level! How could it be a second lieutenant!"

Facing Colonel Luther's anger, Xiao Yan didn't know how to react for a while.Did he have no chance to touch the "comet"?

"I only protect useful people from coming here."

Heine's expression was cold, and there was no fluctuation in the tone of her voice, but there was an inexplicable sense of shock.

Luther was stunned, he clenched his teeth, and looked at Xiao Yan with scrutiny in his eyes, "Come with me, second lieutenant. There are only three hours left before the countdown to evacuation, I hope you won't waste this time." Last chance."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, no matter what kind of explanation he made now, it would be superfluous.

This base is completely different from the No. 14 and NO.[-] bases that Xiao Yan has been to. There are almost no living facilities, and the limited space is set up as a research room. It is cold, simple, and lifeless.Even if he has great enthusiasm for virus research, Xiao Yan is not confident that he can stay here for a long time like Colonel Luther and his team.Xiao Yan is not the kind of madman who only focuses on scientific research. His life also includes chatting with his contemporaries in bars, exercising, and being obsessed with various ball games.At this moment, Xiao Yan looked at Colonel Luther's back and admired this man who had no other distractions.

Luther led Xiao Yan and Hai Yin into the deepest layer of the base.The Antarctic base is a deep structure. Its area is not large, but its depth is the deepest among all bases.Through the glass, Xiao Yan saw the most primitive comet virus.It's not actually seen, they're just ice.

Luther authorized the activation of a terminal, and Hein on the side spoke again: "Activate all terminals."

Luther looked at Heine puzzledly, but the other party didn't give him any more explanations.Time was running out, and Luther didn't want to discuss unnecessary matters with Hein, so he simply authorized the activation of all terminals.

Xiao Yan sat down and connected to the main control terminal, he took a deep breath.

This is the only chance in his life, as unique as birth and death, once missed, it will be an eternal regret.

He can't have any omissions.

Thoughts poured into the system, and all the terminals started up at the same time.

Luther looked at the speed displayed on the holographic screen with an extremely surprised expression.The research system of this base is performing high-speed analysis and processing at a critical speed. In just three seconds, this young researcher has obtained all the previous research results, and based on this, he has analyzed the entire ice sheet environment, the flow direction of the ice layer, and even traced back thousands of years. Virus data from years ago.

"This... this is simply..." Luther pressed his forehead and sighed, "Is this really a human brain?"

Without saying a word, Heine leaned against the wall with her arms folded, quietly staring at Xiao Yan's back.

Xiao Yan's energy was completely concentrated. In the process of studying X-2, he had too many questions, and only the comet virus could give him answers to these questions.

Luther looked up and exhaled deeply, "I really want to enter the terminal to explore his thinking and analyze the data with him... If he had been sent here, maybe we would have made a breakthrough long ago..."

At this moment, the entire base trembled violently. Colonel Luther staggered and held onto the wall. Heine came behind Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan was so focused that he couldn't feel what was happening.

"It's an ablation bomb! I didn't expect Tide to produce such a large dose of ablation bomb in a short period of time! Colonel Burton, we must evacuate immediately! Otherwise...we will drown if this place melts!"

Heine raised her hand and glanced at the time on the communicator. The space they were in was shaking. Although it was not violent, the position they were in was extremely deep, and it took a certain amount of time to leave.

"Mark, Liv, you lead all the personnel to evacuate." Heine issued an order, and he looked at Luther, "Colonel Luther, you leave first."

"Me? Leave? But you are still here..."

"I will protect Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan until the last moment."

"I know every second is precious with his brain speed, but..."

"No but, Colonel, I can't protect you while protecting Xiao Yan."

Luther understood instantly, and he left decisively.

Heine raised her head and felt the shaking above her head. Ten minutes later, dripping water fell and dripped into the holographic image, making a hissing sound.He quickly walked in front of Xiao Yan, and touched his terminal connector with his fingers.

"Major, I'll count to three, you must store all the data in your brain."

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, he heard Heine's words.

"one two Three!"

Heine took off the terminal connector, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath, as if waking up from a big dream.

"Let's go! Lieutenant!"

The water flow was pressing against the wall, continuously pouring in from the gaps, the main control system issued an alarm, and the ice sheet was melting.

Hai Yin dragged Xiao Yan into the vertical passage, the circuit of the base had been interrupted, only the backup power of this passage was still running.

Xiao Yan was uneasy. He could feel the vibration of the cabin during the vertical ascent, which was the reason for being attacked by ablative bombs.Don't know how long the box can last.

Hai Yin pressed Xiao Yan's head on his shoulder, and Xiao Yan felt the warmth of Hai Yin's palm and the strength of his fingertips.

"do not worry."

At that moment, all anxiety went away.An unparalleled sense of security surged in Xiao Yan's heart, he would leave this base, he would be safe and sound!

Gradually, the cold water seeped in and formed a stream under their feet, and their ascent speed became slower and slower, Xiao Yan knew that the cabin was about to collapse.

The moment the water flowed in, Hai Yin put the lock on Xiao Yan's waist. They didn't reach the surface of the base. If the ice sheet melted, according to the rising speed and time, they should have been close to the water surface.More and more water was poured in, and the combat uniform insulated from the freezing temperature.

After another dozen seconds, the rising speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped.

"Are you ready?" Heine lowered her eyes.

The car made a humming sound like a mourning.

Xiao Yan put on the eyepiece and oxygen replacement device, nodded to Hein and said, "I'm ready, Colonel."

With a bang, a huge stream of water poured in from the top of their heads, and after a few seconds, it overflowed their heads, and everything suddenly fell into darkness.

Heine took out the light emitter, and the light yellow light revealed Heine's facial features from the darkness.His hair fluttered with his movements, his slender body cut through the water and went upwards, Xiao Yan looked up, until the man lowered his eyes and raised his chin towards Xiao Yan, the young second lieutenant came back to his senses and followed Hai Yin to leave the body.They are still in the vertical channel of the base, and there are still more than ten meters away from the exit of the channel. They must leave before the entire base sinks underwater, otherwise they will be trapped in it forever.

Hai Yin's swimming speed was quite fast, and the rope connecting the two kept dragging Xiao Yan.Heine's legs were on the edge of the exit of the passage, and he used his strength to go upwards.At this moment, several figures in diving suits kept approaching.

I thought it was Hai Yin's troops who came to rescue them, but the figures of these guys were very strange. Xiao Yan felt a sense of danger in his heart. on the heart of the rock.

They are the killers of the tide organization!These guys really won't let them go easily!

Fighting in sea water is completely different from fighting on land.

Hai Yin quickly tightened the rope and tried to shorten the distance between herself and Xiao Yan, but one of the killers quickly cut off the connection between them.The condensation gun cannot be used in the water, so Xiao Yan had to take out the gun and fire it decisively. The evasion in sea water is not as agile as on land, but the tracking and positioning function of the bullet has little effect in the water flow. A killer was hit in the head, and the plasma Instantly spread in the sea.

But what Xiao Yan never imagined was that a killer had already walked around his side, and the blade brushed against his waist. In such icy sea water, once the combat uniform was broken, it meant that the constant temperature protection would be lost. Xiao Yan Will be completely incapacitated, or even die from hypothermia within 1 minute.At the critical moment, Xiao Yan avoided the opponent's sharp blade, and Hai Yin's situation was also quite dangerous.One killer's sharp blade was pushed away by Heine, and the opponent simply strangled his arms, and the other killer's blade slashed towards Heine, and Heine kicked the opponent away with a twisted sideways posture.

Xiao Yan took out the medicine bundled on his thigh. Before the injection gun touched his body, he was picked off by the enemy, and the medicine box also left his body.Shocked, Xiao Yan turned around to chase the potion, but the other party pulled him over and clasped his chin with one hand from behind, and his neck could be broken with just force.

Xiao Yan's heart almost burst, he knew he was doomed this time!

Before he had time to think too much, the arm strangling Xiao Yan lost his strength. Xiao Yan kicked the opponent away with all his strength. When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Heine who had chopped off the opponent's head. The object pierced Hai Yin's chest, the red liquid spread rapidly, and Xiao Yan's pupils dilated to the point of bursting in an instant.

There was no painful expression on Heine's face. He clasped the sharp blade that pierced him with his fingers without hesitation, and the opponent decisively swung the other sharp blade. Heine's right hand instantly changed the posture of holding the blade, the blade turned backward A block cut off the killer's right hand.He kicked the killer back, and the blade that pierced him followed him.Heine turned around and threw the sharp blade in her hand. It cut through the sea water and pierced through the killer's head at a very high speed.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought that Hai Yin's combat uniform was torn.Low temperature will not only inactivate the comet virus, but also the X virus that is the same as the comet virus.It is necessary to get Hein out of such a low temperature environment as soon as possible.

But Hein turned around and swam towards the depths of the sea.

What does he want to do!

Xiao Yan followed He Yin with difficulty, but He Yin pushed him to stop him from following.

Heine stretched her fingers and dived vigorously, as if trying to grab something.

Only then did Xiao Yan realize that it was his medicine box.

that fool!He can reconstitute potions and the like!If something happened to Heine, he...

Heine grabbed the pill box suddenly, and on the way back, he retrieved the injection gun along the way.He came in front of Xiao Yan, pointed the injection gun at his neck and injected it involuntarily.

His tired body was instantly dominated by a force. Xiao Yan's vision and hearing were so sharp that he could even hear Heine's steady heartbeat clearly.Hai Yin's palm stretched out and clasped the back of Xiao Yan's head. Across the cold sea water, under the gradually weakening light of the light emitter, Hai Yin's lips touched the tip of Xiao Yan's nose lightly, the movement was too light and too fast So much so that Xiao Yan always suspected that it was his own illusion.

Suddenly, something seemed to be approaching in the water flow.

Another two killers.These guys really linger!

Xiao Yan cursed fiercely in his heart.

Hai Yin made a gesture towards Xiao Yan, meaning "one person solves one problem".

Xiao Yan suddenly became excited, which showed that Hein regarded him as a reliable comrade-in-arms.The two of them stood back to back in a tacit understanding, borrowing each other's strength and heading towards the killer.

The killer obviously underestimated Xiao Yan, and swung the blade straight down towards Xiao Yan's neck. Xiao Yan, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand to hold the sharp blade. The direction of the opponent's blade was pulled into the distance between the two, and the elbow slammed into the opponent's sternum.The killer coughed violently in shock, Xiao Yan continued his attack, turned around and twisted the opponent's blade, raised his knee and attacked the opponent's chin, the strength of this blow was weakened by the sea water, the opponent dodged it, but Xiao Yan did not give him At any chance, he decisively pierced the opponent's abdomen with the blade in his hand, then strangled his throat, clenched his teeth and exerted force, the killer's cervical spine split, Xiao Yan let go, his body bounced weakly, sinking slowly.

Xiao Yan hurriedly looked in the direction of Hai Yin. He had already dealt with his opponent, cutting the water and heading towards Xiao Yan.Suddenly remembering the scene where Heine bumped into his lips in the heated swimming pool, Xiao Yan's heart beat wildly at that moment.The moment Hai Yin stopped in front of him, Xiao Yan couldn't wait to grab He Yin's shoulder, and the tip of Hai Yin's nose stopped in front of his eyes. At that moment, He Yin's palm supported Xiao Yan's armpit, holding He goes up.

Heine raised her head, and all she could see was the interface where sea water and air intersected.

Several aircraft were hovering overhead as they emerged from the water.

Xiao Yan looked around, only to realize that the original ice field had disappeared, and the original ice-white world was submerged in a sea of ​​blue, and the sound of glaciers slipping into the sea water could be heard in his ears.Heine supported Xiao Yan's palm with one hand, pulled down the rope with the other hand, and fastened it to the knot around Xiao Yan's waist. In an instant, Xiao Yan rose from the sea water, breaking away from the buoyancy of the water, and the sudden heavy weight The feeling made Xiao Yan grab the rope subconsciously, and Heine was already pulling another rope parallel to Xiao Yan, and the two stepped into the cabin together.

"Boss!" Mark was relieved to see that the two of them were safe.

"Evacuate." Heine ordered coldly.

Several aircraft left at full speed, and the power of the engines left traces on the sea.

The effectiveness of X-2 has declined, and Xiao Yan's body is gradually feeling tired.

He Yin sat opposite Xiao Yan, his legs were so long that when the aircraft flew in a loop, everyone fell to one side, and He Yin's knee just rubbed against Xiao Yan's leg.Xiao Yan looked in Heine's direction, his eyes were closed, his eyelids drooped, even though he didn't have the slightest expression, he still attracted Xiao Yan's attention.

As for the place where his abdomen was pierced by the killer, Xiao Yan couldn't be sure whether it was healed or not.

"I'm fine." Heine, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Xiao Yan didn't expect that Heine could guess what he was thinking, or that Heine would care about his feelings.

Xiao Yan couldn't help stretching out his hand, and put his palm on Hai Yin's abdomen, and there was He Yin's body temperature in his palm.After confirming that the place had healed, Xiao Yan was about to take back his hand, but Hein grabbed his wrist.

"Even if you have received the same training as special forces, your physical fitness is different from special forces. You have a battlefield that belongs only to you and other special forces cannot enter."

Heine's words made Xiao Yan's heart tremble violently.

Mark squinted at the two people, and the special forces on the side bumped into him, and then Mark turned his head reluctantly. He had many questions to ask, but everyone warned him to "shut up" with their eyes.

Although the cabin was very warm, Xiao Yan felt more tired.First, the analysis of the "comet" virus greatly consumed his mental power, and the X-2 also overdrawn his physical strength.Xiao Yan took out the compressed biscuit, no matter how infuriating its taste, its nutritional content is the concentrated essence.Lowering his head, barely swallowing the first biscuit, Xiao Yan still felt hungry.

Heine stretched his arms, pressed his fingerprints on a certain part of the cabin, a small compartment above his head was opened, and he took out something like an energy bar. Xiao Yan knew that it was chocolate-flavored, and it was similar to compressed air. Biscuits are different in that they are high in protein.Heine unwrapped the outer package unhurriedly, and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Sleep after eating."

Xiao Yan didn't say much, he finished the energy bar in two or three bites, the sweet taste of chocolate still remained in his mouth, Xiao Yan tilted his head against the safety device and fell asleep.

He hoped that when he woke up, he would be back in the Shire.

In a daze, Xiao Yan felt his body lose weight.

"Xiao Yan! Wake up!" Hein's cold voice rang in his ears.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes suddenly. All the special forces in the cabin were in a state of preparation for battle. The trajectory of the aircraft was messy and awkward. Xiao Yan instantly understood that they must have been chased by the Tide Organization!

The Antarctic base personnel plus He Yin's troops, the number of aircraft exceeds ten, such a huge target surge organization is impossible to give up easily, not to mention the brains of these researchers and the research materials of decades.

"Xiao Yan, you are ready, we may eject you from the safety cabin at any time!" Mark said to Xiao Yan.

Unexpectedly, Heine stepped forward and opened Xiao Yan's safety device, grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the cockpit.
