Chapter 127 A New Storm Has Emerged
“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!”
The cold air in the ice cave made Mei cough constantly. Aldemir lowered his head and tiptoed to take out the boiling water from the high-voltage induction cooker and poured it into the thermos cup. Then, Ivjielin quickly blew it against the ice wall to cool it down a little and handed it to Mei.
“Ah…ah! Thank you!”
Mei stared at the electronic screen in front of her, typing formulas with one hand, and holding the thermos cup with the other hand without vision, but it was empty.
Ivjielin sighed lightly, and held the thermos cup to Mei’s lips with both hands, letting her take a sip.
"Hmm..."
Mei's breath was a little heavy, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Quick! Put the tracker over!"
A soldier just picked up the egg-sized tracking device, and was snatched away by Aldemir. He jumped into the gap of the ice wall like a monkey, and rushed to the place where Kevin was sucked away before in three or two steps like skating. After putting down the device, he jumped forward, stood up and jumped out of the gap again.
Less than ten seconds later, the space crack opened again next to the device and sucked it in.
"11 degrees and 20 minutes north latitude, 142 degrees and 11.5 minutes east longitude, about 6,100 meters above sea level..."
Is that the other end of the space crack?
Mei's heart suddenly tightened. Let alone other things, the water pressure of 6,100 meters below sea level is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
But she kept her face very well, without even a trace of extra expression. It was Yi Wenjielin who was standing next to her who saw this result and immediately covered her mouth, and then she suppressed the exclamation.
Mei's slender fingers tapped the keyboard meaninglessly, and the ice cave was filled with the "clicking" sound of nails and keycaps.
"Doctor, drink some more water!"
"Ah...oh."
This time, Mei finally had her hands free and took the thermos cup from Evelyn.
But at the moment of taking the weight, the slight trembling of her fingertips was magnified countless times until the warm water was spilled.
"Let me do it." Evelyn held the thermos cup and handed it to Mei's lips again. This time, she took a big sip without saying anything.
"Please put another tracker there."
Although Aldemir was puzzled, he still did it. But this time, the space rift did not appear. Mei folded her arms and stared at the dim ice cave, while Aldemir quietly pulled Evelyn to a dim corner.
Before he even opened his mouth to ask the question, the other party already knew what he was going to ask: "We can't be sure whether this space rift is stable... Well, that is to say, we can't be sure that every time the space rift opens, the channel leads to the same place, understand?"
"Oh."
Aldemir suffered from his lack of education after all, and he could only respond casually.
But he did understand...
"Hey! That's right! I actually understood! Yi Wenjielin, you are amazing!"
"Huh?"
Yi Wenjielin tilted her head and pulled the corner of her mouth, just short of a big question mark on her head.
Aldemir scratched the back of his head and explained a little embarrassedly: "It's not... When I encounter this kind of problem normally, I will ask other people, but they always explain a bunch of names that I don't understand... So I didn't understand it in the end. It's not like what you just said, which is very... very special... No, it's very... Anyway, it's very easy to understand!"
"Hehe!"
Even Jielin covered her mouth and chuckled twice, straightened her chest, and said proudly: "In fact, those who explain a lot of professional terms to you, in fact, most of them don't understand! If you really understand something, how can you not even explain it simply?"
"Hey my *! It makes sense!"
Aldemir clenched his right fist and gently hammered on his left palm that was flat on his chest.
In the dimness, he suddenly saw something shiny flashing, and took a closer look...
"Hey... what are you doing..."
Even Jielin quickly stepped back two steps, and gently tapped the tactical vest on Aldemir's chest with her index finger.
The latter then realized that it was not a sparkling thing at all, but just the girl's gem-like eyes... that's all.
So he scratched his head again in embarrassment, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if this rare girl among the recruits who could chat with him would be angry because of his reckless action...
"Puff!" The girl's smile dispelled all the ignorant and nervous emotions, but also attracted the attention of the other soldiers in the cave.
The flashlight quickly turned over, but the soldiers who wanted to eat melons were obviously disappointed - Yi Wenjielin and Aldemir stood solemnly against the ice wall, standing like pine and cypress, and the safe distance of 50 centimeters between their shoulders was just right for men and women.
Amid the boos, the flashlight moved away.
"Hehe..." Evelyn poked Aldemir, who was wiping the sweat off his forehead, with her elbow, "You really are... deeply influenced by Captain Mikael..."
"Uh, can you tell from that?"
"Yeah! Of course! You, Captain Kevin, and many veterans in our fifth squad are like this!"
"Uh, uh... that..."
Aldemir thought hard for a long time, racking his brains, and finally came up with a word that looked more high-sounding:
"Why do you think so?"
"Pfft!" Yiwen Jielin quickly covered her mouth and laughed for several seconds before explaining in a low voice:
"Didn't you notice...you and Captain Kevin both scratched your heads subconsciously when you were embarrassed?"
Aldemir scratched his head habitually.
"Then, you both touch your noses when you lie, and you also stare at other people's eyes to cover up your lies."
Aldemir touched his nose and silently looked away.
"Are these Captain Mikael's signature moves?"
"Ah? Oh!"
Aldemir subconsciously felt that something was wrong...
"It's wrong! You shouldn't have met Captain Mikael!"
Yiwen Jielin was a new recruit who joined the army with Kevin. Except for Kevin who had met Mikael in Luluye before, the others should have no intersection with Mikael!
"..."Yiwen Jielin pouted, "Please! I used to support the company. I was also in Canghai City at the time. You wouldn't know it, right?"
"Ah..." Aldemir had paid attention to these? Besides, he was worried about something, and he was a little anxious and absent-minded, so he could only respond casually and try to get away with it.
"Hmph!"
Someone stamped his feet angrily, and just as he was about to say something else, he heard Mei's low voice not far away:
"Here it comes!"
The second tracking device was sucked into the space rift again.
"11 degrees and 20 minutes north latitude, 142 degrees and 11.5 minutes east longitude, about minus 6,100 meters above sea level, exactly the same result as the first time..."
Mei raised her thumb and rubbed her eyebrows hard, and Yi Wenjielin hurried over to support her somewhat shaky body, so that she could still sit upright in the eyes of the other soldiers.
"Do you want to conduct a third experiment, Doctor?"
She asked softly.
"..." Mei was silent. In fact, she had already deduced that the structure of this space rift was stable... But in line with a rigorous scientific attitude, she needed to verify it with experiments...
Verify...
"Report the coordinates to the headquarters..."
Mei's voice was a little dry. She stood up from the chair, wrapped her coat tightly, and stared at the mess in the dark and lightless ice cave.
Aldemir saw that there was no one around him, and carefully took out the things he had picked up in the cave from his back pocket.
"Gesture password? Blind guess is E!"
"Sure enough..."
He quickly glanced at the others. Yi Wenjielin was reporting to the headquarters, and the other soldiers were sitting together to keep warm. No one noticed him for the time being.
He flipped through the list of communicators and found the most conspicuous one effortlessly. With his fingertips flying, a coordinate was sent out.
The signal in the ice cave was not good, and the progress of the information sent was always stuck at 99%. Aldemir clenched his fist and tapped his head lightly, then helplessly put the phone back in his pocket.
But at this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the public communication channel connecting everyone to the headquarters. Many people were so shocked that they even screamed and hurriedly took off their headsets.
The alarm sounded three times, and Mei, with her back to the crowd, put on her headset again.
"The fifth team received the message, please rush to the Moana Islands immediately, a new Herrscher has been born!"
"Repeat: The fifth team received the message, please rush to the Moana Islands immediately, a new Herrscher has been born!"
