#1816 - Someone spying secretly?
In the valley, it was quiet and silent.
Zhang San is replacing the brake system fender at the bottom of the propeller vehicle.
Outside, Sun Erzhang and Li Leqi chatted for a few words and then looked around.
On the snow-capped peaks not far away, only a few trees on the hillside were not completely buried by the snow.
But these trees were left with only bare trunks, without a single leaf, and their branches were covered with ice crystals, reflecting golden light in the sun.
Zhang San was very quick in repairing the vehicle. In less than five minutes, he had replaced the brake fender of the propeller vehicle.
He held up the half-remaining leaf plate and said to Sun Erzhang and the other man on both sides:
"It's ready, you can get in the car and go."
"So fast?" Li Leqi looked at Zhang San in surprise.
Zhang San carried the repair box and the replaced fender and walked straight to the car door.
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
As he said this, he put the repair box on the ground and knocked on the car door.
The car door opened and he walked up carrying the repair box.
Li Leqi and the other man hurriedly followed.
After seeing them coming up, the ant quickly closed the car door.
Instead of letting Li Leqi continue driving the car, Ant sat in the driving seat himself.
Time is tight, so it’s safer to do it yourself.
"Turn on the electronic beacon." Ant said to the co-pilot Sun Erzhang.
Sun Erzhang quickly turned on the electronic beacon display screen, which showed a moving green dot in the southeast corner, which was closest to them.
The ant started the car and drove towards the direction of the small green light.
On the way, he tested the repaired brake system and found that there was no problem with the brakes.
After driving for a few minutes, he saw that the green light in the electronic beacon stopped moving and stayed in one place.
Ant quickly took down the car intercom and asked, "Nut, have you guys arrived yet?"
"Yes, we are here. This meteorite is quite big and has created a deep hole. Your car has been repaired, right? Come here quickly. Zhao Ke, Liao Fan and the others are still in your car!" replied Jianguo.
"Okay, we'll be there soon." Ant put the walkie-talkie back to its original position.
The terrain in the eastern part of the Philippines is very hilly. You can either go in a straight line, or you need to go up and down the hill. You can't go too fast, otherwise you will lose control of the vehicle because you went down the hill too fast like I just did.
Or you can take a detour, but that's too slow.
So he decided to drive in a straight line, but slowed down a bit.
The other side.
Nut walked down the spiral propeller with three commandos.
They wore dark black self-heating suits and black cold-proof helmets, and stepped on the snow to the edge of the meteorite crash site.
Just look ahead.
A huge deep pit suddenly appeared.
The ice at the edge of the pit was shattered into pieces, as if it had been torn apart by tremendous force, with cracks all over it.
Nut stood at a safe distance, his pupils slightly shrunken, his eyes full of shock.
This meteorite is as big as a basketball court and lies quietly in the center of the deep pit.
This meteorite looked quite small from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be so big when I got closer. It is estimated that this meteorite must have decomposed on the way down, otherwise it would be even larger.
In the deep pit, the remaining ice fragments flickered in the dim light, like stars falling to the earth.
Nut raised his head and looked around. The meteorite fell in a basin surrounded by mountains.
He narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't go down yet. Wait until the ants arrive. It won't take seven or eight minutes anyway."
"Stay alert. The meteorite falling makes such a loud noise that if there are any survivors around, it will definitely alarm them."
"Captain, are we too cautious? It's so cold, and this place looks quite remote. How could there be survivors? We didn't see a single survivor along the entire way." Li Si said with some confusion.
Nut frowned and said sternly: "Listen to me! Stay alert!"
"Yes!" Li Si, Jia Bao and the other two did not dare to say much. They scattered around and observed the surrounding situation.
Nut looked intently at the meteorite in the center of the deep pit, then glanced around, his face full of vigilance.
Although they did not encounter any survivors along the way, they had either been sailing on the sea ice or along the coastline and had never landed on an island.
There is no doubt that there are survivors on the Philippine island, there must be!
There are more than 100 million people before the end of the world. Even if the end of the world is very bad and difficult, there will definitely be survivors, it’s just a matter of numbers.
There are only five people in their car. If two people go down to get the meteorite, two people will be needed from above to help, and someone else will have to stay in the car, so there will be no one to keep watch.
If they are suddenly attacked by an unfamiliar team at this time, they will not be able to react.
So the safest way is to wait for the ants to come over.
The reason why Jianguo and his men can become one of the top special forces is not only because of their strong martial arts skills, but also because they are the best in psychological quality, adaptability, IQ, EQ and so on.
Otherwise, if he was just a reckless man who only knew how to act recklessly, he would have died in many previous missions.
A few minutes passed in a flash.
Ant was looking at the pusher in front of him. Nut and others were standing next to him. Nut and others were also looking at Ant.
Ant slowed down his car and parked it next to Nut and his team's push cart.
"Li Leqi, use the radio to contact the judge and tell them that we have arrived at the meteorite crash site. Let's go down and check the meteorite now. You stay in the car."
Ant looked at Liao Fan and Zhao Ke who were already prepared, "Let's get off the car and take a look."
"Everyone else, get out of the car!"
The car door was opened and a group of people walked out.
Jianguo came over excitedly and asked Zhao Ke, "The meteorite is brown. You have seen meteorites from outer space before. Are they the same color?"
When Zhao Ke heard the color, he frowned slightly.
The meteorite he had seen before was black, but the different color did not mean it was not a meteorite. It was also possible that when the meteorite fell to the earth, it was too fast and burned.
"Let's go check it out first."
The ant quickly shouted to Sun Erzhang and Qu Congzhou behind him, "Pull the rope ladder over here!"
After Sun Erzhang and his companion got off the car, they tied one end of the rope ladder to the push cart. When they heard the ant's cry, they quickly pulled the other end of the rope ladder over.
To observe the meteorite up close, you have to go down into the pit.
The ground is covered with snow and ice, and there are no fixed objects around. It is not practical to drill a hole because the ground is covered with snow.
They could only use a propulsion vehicle. Although the propulsion vehicle was not as heavy as the Behemoth, it still weighed twenty tons, which was enough to support them down.
After getting the rope ladder, Ant took the lead, fastened the buckle around his waist, and put the toolbox carried by Liao Fan on his back.
He turned to Nut and said, "Nut, you watch from up there. I'll take them down."
Nut didn't waste his time and didn't fight over who would lead people down. Such meaningless things were a waste of time for them.
He nodded: "Be careful."
The ant was at the front, climbing down the rope ladder.
Following closely behind was Zhao Ke.
Liao Fan and Sun Erzhang went down via another rope ladder.
Zhao Ke and Liao Fan are both research experts with poor physical strength, so the tool boxes they need are carried by Sun Erzhang and Ant.
Above the deep pit, seven or eight people were left to guard and observe.
The soil was exposed on the wall of the pit, and under the icy disaster, the snow was more than ten meters thick. This shows how powerful the meteorite was.
In less than a minute, the ant stepped onto the ground of the deep pit.
He raised his head and saw that Sun Erzhang had only climbed halfway.
Liao Fan and Zhao Ke didn't even climb a quarter of the way.
Ant took a look, sighed and shook his head, "Young people nowadays have really poor physical fitness."
It actually took Sun Erzhang several minutes to rappel down a weighted rope ladder of more than 50 meters.
But he forgot that Sun Erzhang was already considered to have a relatively high combat power in the Dazhangshu base. After all, he was a member of the commando team, and Ant himself was too powerful.
If we must make a figurative comparison of the gap between them.
Let me give you a vivid example. The fighting power of Ant and Uncle San is like the academic qualifications of a postdoctoral fellow.
Sun Erzhang and his colleagues are like college students. In the eyes of postdoctoral fellows, college students are not worth mentioning.
Ant carried the toolbox on his back, pulled out the pistol from his gun bag, and walked towards the meteorite in the middle.
The ground looked like it had been burned by fire. The black ground was covered with nothing but fallen ice chips and scattered meteorites. It felt quite smooth to walk on.
Moreover, Ant looked at the external temperature detector on his wrist, which showed that the temperature here was nearly one degree.
It may be because the meteorite had just fallen and generated a lot of heat energy during the collision.
As time goes by, the temperature below gradually drops.
Looking at the small meteorites scattered on both sides, they are of different sizes, some are as big as a table, inserted in the black scorched earth, and some are only the size of a head.
He walked to the largest meteorite in the center, but did not reach out to touch it directly.
He took out gloves from his backpack, put them on, walked to a meteorite the size of his head, and picked it up.
It was heavier than he had imagined.
He didn't know much about meteorites, and couldn't quite tell whether these meteorites were from outer space.
But if it is a meteorite from the sky, we will definitely take away as much as we can.
He had nothing to do down there, so he collected some of the smaller meteorites and piled them at the edge of the pit.
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Ke and Liao Fan came down almost at the same time.
Liao Fan squatted on the ground, observing one of the meteorites closely with a frown on his face. He had already made some guesses about it just now, and after observing it closely, he became more certain.
However, he still took out the detector from the toolbox.
Place the meteorite into the detector for testing.
Afterwards, he sampled more than a dozen meteorites and tested and compared them one by one.
"How is it? Is it a meteorite from outer space?" The ant came over and asked expectantly.
Zhao Ke held a fist-sized meteorite in his hand and said after a moment of silence:
"I don't recognize this kind of meteorite. It shouldn't be an alien meteorite. You'll have to ask Liao Fan what kind of meteorite it is."
The ant looked at Liao Fan, who took off his gloves, sighed and said:
"I've looked at all the meteorites here, and they're all brown. Brown meteorites are probably made of rocks and minerals."
"I used an instrument to test it. The meteorite here has a silicate mineral content of more than 70%. Generally speaking, it is usually black or brown. This once again proves that this is indeed a stony-iron meteorite."
"Isn't it a meteorite from outer space?" The ant felt extremely disappointed when he heard this.
Liao Fan shook his head and said:
"Although I have never seen an extraterrestrial meteorite, the DI element that is unique to extraterrestrial meteorites is not found in these stony-iron meteorites."
"Many stony-iron meteorites like this are asteroid meteorites. They mainly include black, brown, green, blue, yellow and red. The different colors of asteroid meteorites are mainly determined by different mineral compositions and formation processes."
"This type of meteorite is very common. It falls from space every year before the end of the world."
"Alas" the ant was really helpless, his happiness was in vain.
"Are these meteorites useful?"
"Forehead"
Liao Fan was silent for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Complete stony-iron meteorites are collectors' favorites because they do not rust, are easy to preserve, and can be made into exquisite jewelry."
"It's just useless." The ant kicked the pile of meteorites he had just collected, scattering them. What a waste of energy!
He picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Nut.
"Nuts, the meteorite below is not an extraterrestrial meteorite. It's called a stony-iron meteorite, a very common type of meteorite before the end of the world. It's useless."
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Nut cursed.
He thought he had found a meteorite from outer space, but it turned out to be a common meteorite, which wasted so much of their time and energy.
"Come up quickly, we have to catch up with the Judge and the others!"
"OK."
Ant looked at Liao Fan and the others who had packed up their toolboxes and shouted, "Let's go up."
Climbing up is more difficult than coming down. In order to ensure the safety of the two experts, Liao Fan and Zhao Ke, Ant asked them to go up first. In case they became exhausted halfway through climbing, he and Sun Erzhang could also help.
Above the deep pit.
Nut returned to the propulsion vehicle and used the radio to contact the Judge to inform them of the current situation.
After informing the judge, Nut walked down with a gun.
Behind a small snow slope less than two kilometers away from them, there were two men wearing white hats and thick white clothes.
There was a mask on his face, and a layer of frost had condensed on it. The face inside the mask was frozen purple and red, and his whole body was trembling.
They looked in the direction of Nut and others. They were already here when Nut and others arrived here, but after seeing Nut's car, they quickly hid here to observe.
One of them asked in a trembling voice: "Who is that?"
His voice was not from fear, but from cold.
What’s more important is that what he said was in Chinese.
Another older man turned his head and looked in the direction they came from. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes and a crazy idea came to his mind.
"Whoever they are, they look pretty strong. I'm going to go find them!"
"Lead them to Nadeau's side!"
"Are you crazy? Why are you looking for them?!" the younger man said in shock. If Nadal knew about this, we would be dead.
"Oh!"
The older man sneered, "Nado sent us out to check what was going on. He never thought we would freeze to death! Besides, he killed so many of us! We have to settle this account!"
"How do you know those people will believe us?" asked the younger man.
"I don't know, but I don't want to live a life worse than pigs and dogs anymore. I would rather be killed by those strangers than go back to that hell and be a dog!"
"Besides, in the end times, no one will get up early without profit, and everyone is scrambling for supplies. If I tell them to go to Nadeau to get supplies, do you think they will go?"
After getting out of the car, Nut looked around as usual.
Suddenly, he looked at a small mound to the north and raised his eyebrows.
"Um?"
Something is wrong.
