16 years

Such a big incident happened to Shao Qiu, it is impossible to hide it.

But Fu Yan selfishly didn't want Shao Qiu to be stained, so he didn't say that he injected the virus himself, only that it was accidentally leaked.

At that time, only they and Fang Sining were present, and Fang Sining would not say anything about Shao Qiu's reputation.

On the contrary, He Feng and He Tang, who were close to Shao Qiu, vaguely sensed something, but they also tacitly chose the same attitude as Fu Yan.

Wrangel Island is high in the sky and the emperor is far away, and the sample room is not monitored. It is natural that Fu Yan and the others have the final say on the situation.

Feng Lei and Fu Yan sent a message back to Yancheng to explain the situation. Zhao Jincheng was heartbroken and gave Fang Sining an order to return to the city.

Shao Qiu has already been infected by the virus, and according to the usual practice, he cannot be taken away with the army, otherwise there will be a risk of infection.But Fang Sining was very firm about this matter. He insisted on taking Shao Qiu on the road together on the grounds of "research". Zhao Jincheng discussed it internally and quickly agreed to his request.

Because of the sudden incident, all actions outside were delayed. Feng Lei spent five hours organizing the field team, and then prepared an armored truck for Shao Qiu alone.

Fang Sining insisted on taking the same car with him. Feng Lei thought it was too dangerous at first, but Fu Yan agreed to it, so he didn't say anything.

Unlike Fu Yan and the others, they needed to return silently, so the departure time was set at dusk.

It has just snowed on Wrangel Island, and a thick layer of snow particles has accumulated on the ice. Fang Sining, wearing a thin research uniform, is standing behind the cargo box, and is smoothing the sleeves of the winter jacket for Shao Qiu little by little. .

There is no medical equipment here for him to check Shao Qiu's physical condition, so even though Shao Qiu has already shown obvious loss of reaction, Fang Sining is still very afraid of his frostbite.

Fu Yan's face was paler than snow, but he stood up straight.The cold wind only lifted the ends of his hair, but it didn't make him flinch.

"We're leaving." Fang Sining said, "Captain Fu, see you in Yancheng."

As Fang Sining said, he stroked Shao Qiu's forehead lightly, and tied his neckline tightly.

"I promise you." Fang Sining said softly, "When we meet again, Xiao Qiu will definitely not be like this."

The zombie virus invaded Shao Qiu's body, but failed to completely transform him.The "human" part of him is incompatible with the zombified organs, and his immune system and blood system have problems, so he has been in a coma and has never woken up.

Fang Sining pressed his palm against his intact side of the neck, touched his soft skin, trying to feel a little warmth from it.

He seemed to be reassuring Fu Yan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

But Fu Yan's reaction to this sentence was flat, his eyes moved away from Shao Qiu's body, and looked at the vast snowfield in the distance.

"Maybe." Fu Yan said, "Maybe it's not as difficult as you imagined."

Fang Sining looked at him in confusion, but Fu Yan didn't explain anything, and raised his hand to signal that the convoy could start.

Fang Sining took away a large number of experimental samples and researchers, and the field team's truck was fully loaded with fashion supplies.As soon as they left, Hara Mountain's research institute became an empty shell almost instantly.

Fu Yan was accidentally injured and was unable to cross the sea to carry out the mission in a short time, so he rested silently in place for another week.

Fortunately, the materials sent by Zhao Jincheng are complete, enough to support the expenses of this unexpected situation.

Fu Yan was not idle while recovering from his injuries. He and Feng Lei made several action plans for the situation across the strait, hoping to find the most perfect action plan.

Judging from the satellite and the range map drawn by Fu Yan before, it is impossible for Joe Eden's research institute to be located in a downtown area.Aska's population density is not small, and no-man's land is very limited.

According to Fang Sining's guess and the confessions of the researchers, Fu Yan probably compressed the suspected range into a circle.It's just that even so, their eyes are blind to the situation on the other side, and it is difficult to pinpoint them accurately.

The best way is to reproduce the situation on Wrangel Island. The army team sneaks into the opposite side first, and then the air force led by Fu Yan scans and sorts out from the sky.

But the problem is that they only brought helicopters this time, and there is no ship that can be used across the sea.

"The helicopter can carry a limited number of people." Feng Lei said, "If not, how many times should we run?"

"There is not enough fuel." Fu Yan said: "It is not easy for a helicopter to cross the sea, and the temperature on both sides of the strait is very low, so there may be additional losses."

"Actually, if the time and season are correct, people can pass through the Bering Strait." Liu Ruosong pointed to the map with a pencil, and said, "It's right here. Although it's a bit far away, you can pass by by car. You go back from Wrangel Island. Bypassing two cities in neighboring countries, you can cross this road and enter the opposite continental plate.”

"It will take half a month to go this way." Feng Lei said: "And I remember it's not the season."

"The zombie virus has broken out in the past few years, the number of humans has decreased, and all modern facilities have been shut down." Liu Ruosong said, "Captain Feng, haven't you noticed that the climate has been different in the past two years."

Feng Lei was stunned for a moment. People like them who go out to work eat their last meal all day long and don't care about their next meal. They only care about whether they can see the sun tomorrow, so they don't have the time to pay attention to the weather.

Hearing the sound, Fu Yan looked sideways at Liu Ruosong and asked, "...what do you mean?"

"The Bering Strait can leave people because it is located in the Arctic Ocean. During the ice-covered period, the Bering Sea may freeze." Liu Ruosong said: "Although no one comes to Wrangel Island, there are many adventurers. Will try to cross the Bering Sea - I once interviewed a convoy on the spot, and their leader told me that they had an experience of crossing the Bering Sea more than ten years ago. They opened a cross-country convoy and prepared to cross the ice road ocean."

"Did they succeed?" Feng Lei asked.

"Unfortunately, no." Liu Ruosong shook his head and said, "But they encountered an unexpected situation—an ice fault, and one of the cars got stuck, so they didn't dare to continue driving. Just turned back the same way.”

"But I think we can try." Liu Ruosong said: "One is because you are well-equipped and experienced, and they are definitely better than those who play off-road. The second is because the entire human society has been shut down in the past few years. Fuel emissions have decreased dramatically, so the Earth's climate has also changed—the temperature on Wrangel Island is actually much lower than it was in this season of previous years."

Feng Lei was vaguely moved by his words.

The current season is approaching the beginning of summer, but the temperature on Wrangel Island has not risen but dropped. It dropped once last week, almost breaking through the minus [-] mark, so they had no choice but to move into the Hara Mountains middle.

"You can try it." Feng Lei said and looked at Fu Yan.

"Is the risk a bit high?" Fu Yanchui looked at the map and said, "Most ice-covered periods occur in extreme night conditions. Under such conditions, it is very dangerous to drive across the sea."

"Indeed." Although Liu Ruosong didn't want the special operations team to go deep into the hinterland with limited manpower, he didn't want to let his comrades around him take unnecessary risks: "Even during the freezing period, ice holes may appear on the ice——" Make the strait 50 meters deep, and you will definitely die if you fall."

"But the distance is short." Feng Lei was obviously very moved: "If you walk the shortest straight-line distance, it will only be about [-] kilometers. If it goes well, you can pass it in one day."

Feng Lei looked at Liu Ruosong as he spoke, with hope in his eyes.

"Since Researcher Liu proposed this plan, it means that there must be a follow-up." Feng Lei said: "You will never let us wait here until winter-so let's talk, is there something going on?"

Liu Ruosong didn't expect him to be so keen, he hesitated for a moment, and looked at Fu Yan.

"Let's talk." Fu Yan said, "Let's talk about it later."

"There is indeed one thing." Liu Ruosong said: "If there are no accidents, there may be an abnormal drop in temperature in the last half month."

"Where did this conjecture come from?" Feng Lei asked.

"I asked No. 20 for the relevant climate data of the Arctic Ocean for nearly [-] years, and then compared the satellite results, and found that the climate activities here this year are very abnormal." Liu Ruosong said as concisely as possible: "The cessation of human society's emissions has caused The reactivation of the climate, last week’s cooling should be the introduction, and there will be a large-scale cooling after that. After this time, the temperature will rise again and officially enter the summer climate.”

During these days when Fu Yan was injured, Liu Ruosong did not dare to sit idle.

He knew very well what was on the other side of the strait, and he also knew that Joe Eden was far from being as easy to deal with as they imagined.

He didn't want Fu Yan to fight alone, so he wanted to give him as much protection as possible.

Liu Ruosong himself is not good at dispatching troops, nor is he good at infiltrating individual soldiers.But he has been an outdoor photographer for so many years, and he is more familiar with no man's land and off-road adventure places than they are.

There is a specialization in the art industry, no matter how good Fu Yan and the others are good at training in various extreme environments, what they train is only the ability to perform tasks, and they don't know about these trivial things like playing games.

"Actually, some people in foreign countries will trek across the ice-covered Bering Sea." Liu Ruosong said: "It is much easier than driving and less dangerous. There have been many successful cases. But the only difficult thing is that there are many mountains on the opposite side. , even if you drive over the ice, you have to bypass the no-man’s-land mountains.”

"It's nothing." Feng Lei smiled, waved his hands carelessly, and said, "The ice has passed, are you still afraid of the mountains?"

"I think what Researcher Liu said makes sense." Feng Lei looked at Fu Yan and asked what he meant: "Captain Fu, what do you think?"

Fu Yan looked at the map for a while, weighed it in his heart for a while, and then nodded.

"But the army can't pass first." Fu Yan said, "It's better for us to set off at the same time and meet up on the other side of the strait."

"...It's okay." Feng Lei said, "It's safer."

"Then there is only one last question left." Fu Yan said and looked at Liu Ruosong: "About the matter of lowering the temperature—Ruosong, how sure are you?"

Liu Ruosong licked his lips, his heart contracted nervously, speeding up its beating frequency.

After a while, he said, "Sixty percent."

I’m going to see Joe Eden soon, I’m more nervous than Brother Fu [bushi], and my knowledge of geography has been changed by an overhead demon. The Bering Strait is indeed frozen, but whether it can be crossed is still open to question. Thousands Do not imitate]
