Chapter 2248 Arriving at the North Pole

A week seems to be a long time, but time is only relative. Going from China to the top of the North Pole is no joke. You need to pass through many countries in the middle, and the transportation is very inconvenient. After Luo Zheng got the approval of the chief, Mr. Li, , the next day, under Mr. Li's arrangement, he secretly left on a nuclear submarine. After wandering around the seabed for about a week, he finally reached the designated coordinates. The nuclear submarine surfaced and Luo Zheng quickly landed.

The top of the North Pole refers to the northern end of the earth's rotation axis, which is the point at 90 degrees north latitude. In winter, the sun is always below the horizon, the sea is completely frozen, and the ground is covered with thick snow; in summer, the temperature Rising above freezing, the edges of the Arctic Ocean melt, the sun stays in the sky for weeks on end, the snow melts, the topsoil thaws, and plants grow and bloom, providing food for animals such as reindeer and musk oxen, as well as wolves and polar bears. Carnivores also survive by preying on other animals.

Summer has just entered the Arctic. Thousands of miles of ice, white snow, the earth is white, and there is no life in sight. After landing on the shore, Luo Zheng took a look at the nuclear submarine that was slowly diving. He put his backpack on his shoulders, put on his tactical goggles and looked into the distance. , observing white snow with the naked eye for a long time will cause snow blindness, which means being afraid of light, crying, and being unable to open your eyes. During the onset, there will be blurred vision.

As a soldier, and on the battlefield, snow blindness is absolutely fatal. Luo Zheng does not allow himself to suffer from this disease. Wearing tactical goggles can protect him. Luo Zheng looked at the white surroundings, without any life. He did not dare to be careless and quickly checked the weapons. The main weapon Luo Zheng carried this time was a 12.7 mm caliber 10 anti-materiel sniper rifle. The secondary weapon was the 92-type pistol that he was used to. He had a pistol on his thigh. Carrying a tiger-tooth saber and a dragon-tooth saber on his back.

In order to resist the cold, Luo Zheng not only wears extremely bulletproof tights, but also wears cold-proof clothing, tactical vests and white snow combat uniforms. In addition to cameras, Luo Zheng also wears a bulletproof helmet with a global GPS positioning system, high-cut explosion-proof boots, and a rucksack. It contains button bombs, ammunition, first aid kits, special ropes, tactical flashlights, gas masks, water bottles, atomic watches, central tranquilizers and enough dry food to survive for five days. It can be said that it is well-equipped.

This operation seemed to be an appointment with someone, but Luo Zheng knew very well that this trip was unusual, otherwise there would be no need to arrange a meeting at this place. There must be a reason behind it. Luo Zheng did not dare to be careless at all. After making sure that there was no danger around him, Luo Zheng He quickly asked through the headset: "It's me, can I get connected?"

There was only rustling sound in the headset, there was no satellite signal, and there was no recovery as expected. In other words, he could not get in touch with the headquarters. Luo Zheng's heart sank, and he looked around warily, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. There was actually nothing here. Satellite signal, this is not common sense, is it blocked? Or is it that the magnetic field here is different and the interference is great, making it impossible to contact the satellite for a while?

If it was the latter, Luo Zheng could accept it. If it was the former, then the situation would be troublesome. Luo Zheng observed vigilantly for a while, and just to be sure, he quickly found a snowdrift to hide himself and continued calling, but there was no reply from the headset. , this situation made Luo Zheng worried. He raised his hand and looked at his watch and found that the compass was swinging. This was caused by magnetic field interference.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the surrounding magnetic field was disrupted and affected the satellite connection. He was about to get up when he suddenly heard a faint explosion. The sound was very weak and somewhat uncertain, but Luo Zheng continued to hide out of caution. Get up and prick up your ears.

The cold wind was howling around him, the ice was biting, and his face was like a knife. Luo Zheng had to take out a scarf and wrap it around his face, only exposing the tactical eyepiece to see things. Only then did he feel better. There was no Hearing the explosion, Luo Zheng was startled and wondered if it was an illusion.

Out of caution, Luo Zheng waited for a while and was about to get up when suddenly another explosion came. The sound was weak and almost undetectable. But this time Luo Zheng came prepared. He heard it clearly and knew that it was not wrong. He couldn't help but feel excited. Shocked, he cautiously put his head out and looked in the direction of the explosion. He found that the sound was blown by the cold wind, and it should be very far away.

There was an explosion sound in a place where human beings had disappeared. This was unusual in itself. Luo Zheng watched the front vigilantly and raised his telescope. However, there was white snow in front of him and he could not see anything. Luo Zheng hesitated. It was following the sound. Follow up or stay and wait for contact?

It's not Luo Zheng's style to sit still and wait for death. Besides, there is no exact time to meet, and he doesn't know when the god-level soldier king will appear. Instead of waiting here and not letting him go and have a look, the worst thing is to come back. Luo Zheng quickly made a decision and once again Take a look around, memorize the terrain, and walk in the direction of the explosion.

All the way up the wind, the wind was biting, and he had to be wary of enemies. It was very difficult to walk. Luo Zheng had to slow down and stop and go. After about ten minutes, Luo Zheng had to hide behind a snowdrift. Resting, I felt a little hypoxic. Traveling in such an extremely harsh environment was very physically demanding, and Luo Zheng's physical fitness was somewhat unable to keep up. Fortunately, the weapons were specially made and could adapt to fighting in extremely cold areas.

Suddenly, there was another explosion, this time it was even clearer. Luo Zheng looked forward in surprise and saw nothing. He raised his binoculars vigilantly. The terrain ahead was flat, with sparse snowdrifts ranging in size from large to small. The tall ones were no more than five or six meters tall, and the short ones were no more than one foot. No one could be seen as far as the eye could see.

Luo Zheng observed for a while, and suddenly a black shadow came into his field of vision. Luo Zheng was startled. He quickly adjusted the telescope and took a closer look. It was a person. He was a little far away and could not see clearly. Luo Zheng put down the telescope and looked around vigilantly. His eyes fell on On a taller snowdrift, he began to rush up.

Soon, Luo Zheng climbed up the snowdrift, lay down on the ground and set up his sniper rifle. This snowdrift was the highest point in the surroundings, which was convenient for concealment and sniping. It was unknown who was coming, whether it was the enemy or the friend, so Luo Zheng had to prepare for the worst. When he was ready, Luo Zheng checked the weapon again and raised the telescope again after confirming that it was in good performance.

In the telescope, the black spot was much closer, and the outline of a human figure could be seen, but it was ten kilometers away. This distance was not suitable for shooting. Luo Zheng waited patiently. Not long after, Luo Zheng saw three people appearing behind the person. The whole body is white, and if he were not running at high speed, he would never be able to tell.

"Huh?" Luo Zheng looked at this scene in surprise, wondering if these people were in a group or in pursuit? He couldn't help but observe patiently, and the telescope locked on the person in front of him again. After waiting for a while, the target became clear. Luo Zheng found that the person in front of him was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly, but he was tall and burly and running very fast. , without weapons in his hands and wearing a snow combat uniform.

"No weapons?" Luo Zheng was surprised, moved the telescope and looked back.
