Chapter 2019: Natural phenomenon? (two chapters in one)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"It's strange how such a sharp whistling sound could come from this crack in the ice."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the abnormal situation in front of him and said doubtfully.

The handsome pig-headed logistics captain standing aside looked at the cracks on the ice, thought for a few seconds, shook his head, and said to his friend.

"This is the first time I've seen this phenomenon. I don't know what the cause is. Attack that crack and see if there are any different changes."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded immediately after hearing this, and then he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist. After injecting spiritual energy, the sharp dagger immediately glowed with a pale golden light.

"call out."

As the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead waved his right arm, the sharp dagger glowed with pale golden light, and then shot out a half-arc sharp ray.

The air was torn, making a harsh whistling sound, and the sharp semi-arc light hit the cracks on the ice.

"boom."

A deafening explosion sounded, and the cracks in the ice cracked even more severely after being attacked.

After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead launched the attack, he kept using his senses to lock onto the target.

When all the dust settled, he found no abnormalities within his range of perception.

Originally, there would be sharp noises in the cracks on the ice, but after being attacked, the sharp noises disappeared.

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain frowned as he looked at the hole in the ice.

Originally, he thought that after being attacked, the cracks on the ice would crack even bigger and the sharp noises would become louder. If there was any foreign object underneath, it would appear after the ice cracked.

However, the actual development of the situation was completely opposite to what he imagined. The situation in front of him made him not know what to do next.

"The sound has disappeared!" said the pig-headed captain standing nearby with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"Yes, it disappeared." said the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.

"Then what should we do next?" asked the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"How about you try to attack for a few more rounds?" The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain who didn't know how to operate thought for a while and made a suggestion.

"Um..." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I'll attack a few more rounds."

After saying that, under the gaze of the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his right arm holding the dagger, and swung it a dozen times in a row as fast as lightning.

"call out."

"call out."

"call out……"

Harsh whistling sounds that tore through the air sounded one after another, and sharp rays of light struck the ice one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Affected by the cold weather, the frozen water pool cracked under the attack of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

The broken ice rose and fell on the water's surface, but as far as the eye could see, there was nothing unusual about it.

"Uh..." The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead when he launched the attack, raised his left hand and scratched his head. With the result in front of him, he felt that his attack just now was a useless effort.

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked at the completely shattered ice and the messy puddle in front of him. After pondering for a few seconds, the expression on his face became relaxed.

Then, he smiled and said to the pig-headed captain who had a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"It seems that the sharp noise that emerged from the cracks in the ice just now is an ordinary natural phenomenon, and there is no need to worry about safety issues."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, looked up at the goose-feather-like snow falling from the sky, and said to his friend.

"Since no problem has been found, let's go back as soon as possible. The wind and snow are so strong now. If we continue to stay outside, we may get cold and sick."

"Yes." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain responded, and then the two pig-headed warriors returned toward the camp.

On the way back, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead suddenly remembered something and said, "If I remember correctly, the pool just now should be a cold pool that will not freeze!"

"It is indeed a cold pool that will not freeze, but the prerequisite for it not freezing is that the temperature does not fall below a certain limit.

The current temperature is so cold that it is difficult for it not to freeze." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain laughed.

"That's true." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded.

After a while, the two pig-headed captains returned to the camp.

When they came back, the pig-head warriors who were clearing the snow in the camp had already cleared away all the snow accumulated in the camp.

"Tap, step, step..."

A pig-headed warrior saw the two men coming back and immediately ran to them.

The pig-headed soldier was also a little tired from all the busy work of clearing the snow. He panted and said to the handsome pig-headed logistics team leader.

"Captain, we have cleared all the snow in the camp. Please check."

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked around the situation in the camp, with a very satisfied smile on his face, "You did a good job."

The pig-headed warrior received the admiration and raised his hand to touch the back of his head, with a happy smile on his face.

"It's freezing cold. Go back to the house and rest early!" said the handsome pig-headed logistics team leader.

"Yes." The pig-headed warrior responded, and then quickly ran towards the cabin where he lived.

It was freezing cold outside, with a temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero. After standing outside for a while, my hands and feet felt numb from the cold. When I returned to the warm cabin, the chill on my body was immediately dissipated.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the pig-headed warrior leaving and said to his friend, "Let's go back to the house too!"

"Yes." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain walked towards his cabin, opened the door and walked in. The dark cabin immediately lit up.

Following his friend into the cabin, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sat down at the table.

He said to the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain who was adding fire stones to the stove.

"Didn't you say you were going to use the gray-brown carapace I brought back to make an anesthetic? When do you plan to start doing it?"

Some flame stones were added to the stove, and a large amount of heat was emitted from the stove, raising the temperature in the cabin several degrees.

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain took off the kettle from the stove and poured water for his friend while saying.

"I've actually already started using the gray-brown carapace to make an anesthetic."

"Already starting to work on it? Why don't I see any signs of your operation?" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead asked doubtfully.

After pouring tea into both cups, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain put the kettle on the stove, then he went to the corner of the room and took out a clay jar.

"The gray-brown carapace you brought back was soaked with other materials in this jar. It will take a few days before the next step of production can be carried out."

The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, looked at the clay jar held by his friend and said worriedly.

"That gray-brown carapace can make people feel weak. If you put it in this clay jar like this, if the smell leaks out, then you will suffer."

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain saw his friend worried and explained to him with a smile.

"I added some materials and soaked them with the gray-brown carapace to temporarily suppress its effectiveness. Even if it leaks, it won't be a big deal..."

"That's good." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked with some curiosity, "After you make the anesthetic, how will you use it? Last time you told me that it can be used against the enemy, how do you operate it?"

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain put the clay jar in his hand back into the corner, sat down on the chair in front of the table, and began to explain the use of anesthetics when fighting the enemy.

"After the anesthetic is made, I will turn it into a spray. When fighting the enemy, as long as it is used, once the atomized anesthetic is smelled, the opponent will not lose combat effectiveness immediately, but will feel weak due to the body's fatigue.

drop."

"That's it." When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although this anesthetic is mainly used by doctors to treat patients, as a combatant, he is more concerned about it being able to come in handy when fighting the enemy.

After talking about making anesthetics, the two pig-headed captains talked about the supplies in the camp.

Although all kinds of supplies are now quite sufficient, it is always good to have more supplies, which can make people feel more at ease.

"Although the fire stones I collected before are enough for us to survive the winter, I think we still need to prepare some wood.

In case the time of the cold wave is uncertain, if it is extended, we can deal with it calmly." said the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.

"Yeah." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain nodded after hearing the question from his friend. He thought for a moment, thought about the daily dosage of fire stone in his mind, and said.

"Tomorrow I will count how much fire stone is left, and then control the usage in each room. If I use it lavishly, I may use up the fire stone in advance.

At the same time, we called everyone outside to cut down some trees and get some firewood to put in the camp just in case."

The two pig-headed captains drank steaming tea while chatting about daily things in the camp.

The pig-headed camp located in the valley exudes dim light, and occasionally some sounds can be heard coming from the camp.

The strong wind and heavy snow outside now cover up some of the movements caused by the pig-headed camp.

Deep in the valley, the two pig-headed captains just found the cold pool making a sharp sound.

After being attacked by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead and breaking the ice, the temperature was too cold and it didn't take long for the broken ice to freeze again.

"laugh……"

A strange scene happened again. The sharp sound heard by the two pig-headed captains came from a crack in the ice after the ice froze.

Compared with before, the sharp noise seemed to be a little louder.

However, the surrounding environment is now affected by bad weather, and the sound volume of various movements is much louder than the sharp noises from cracks in the ice. This makes this strange sound unable to travel very far, and is covered up by various noises in the surroundings.

"Chi..."

"call……"

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

Different sounds intertwined and echoed continuously in the valley.

The pig-headed camp exudes dim light, and the warm cabins weaken the various noisy sounds outside. The pig-headed warriors lie on the bed and chat happily.

There is now enough food in the warehouse, so if the pig-head warriors get some food outside, they can keep it for themselves.

Some pig-headed warriors sometimes take advantage of their free time and run around the camp to collect some food as snacks.

The food collected by each person is different, so everyone will exchange it with each other.

In such a harsh environment, with the weather outside being bad and unable to move around freely, exchanging food like this is one of the few ways for everyone to have fun.

…………

At the nearest human base where the ground collapse occurred, after dinner in the cafeteria, some people went to the gymnasium to exercise, while others went back to their dormitories to rest.

A group of researchers who came here specifically to investigate the ground subsidence, after finishing their meal, plunged into the temporary laboratory to conduct data analysis.

A few kilometers away, where the ground collapsed, darkness shrouded the earth, and huge bottomless pits swallowed up snowflakes falling from the sky.

"call……"

The cold wind blew violently, blowing a tall bare tree into a bottomless hole again and again.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The tall bare trees struggled not to fall into the bottomless pit. Unfortunately, the cold wind was too fierce and they couldn't resist it after all.

There was only a "crash" sound, and the tall bare trees fell sideways into the huge bottomless hole, and a lot of soil fell into it.

The depth of this huge collapsed hole is unknown. Bare trees hundreds of meters high fell into it, but no echo was heard.
