Antarctica was once a symbol of extreme cold on the earth. The glaciers here once stored nearly 72% of the total fresh water on the earth, making it a veritable kingdom of ice and snow.

From 2021 to 2030, the Department of National Security established seven underground experimental bases of unknown purpose on the Antarctic continent. It took less than ten years in total for these bases to go from being built to being put into use and then finally being abandoned and buried. Later, the Department of National Security

After the disbandment, many people tried to find these seven bases to uncover many secrets of the National Security Department, but they never thought that most people not only found nothing, but also lost their lives. From then on, few people set foot in Antarctica to look for "treasures".

.

Now, after the "disappearance of the sun", the continent of Antarctica has been "connected" with other continents on the earth. Starting from Hainan, China, passing through the Nansha Islands and the Australian continent, You Gege and his party arrived at their destination without any hindrance. But after setting foot on Antarctica

The mainland is just the beginning of their trip. Next, they will go deep into the hinterland of the Antarctic continent to find a military base left by the National Security Department that can enter the subglacial lake.

In this era, there are only a handful of people who know about this military base, and Yougege is one of them, for no other reason...because this military base was established by her or...she in the past.

In order to deceive others, Yougege also built many checkpoints and camouflage devices near the military base to avoid satellite detection. Now she can only roughly determine the location of the base based on the coordinates in her memory.

The special snowmobiles that were born in extraordinary times cannot be regarded as calm when dealing with the extremely harsh climate of the Antarctic continent. In fact, Yugege is also worried that they may be left behind by the striking snowmobiles only halfway through Antarctica.

.

Fortunately, this snowmobile has been strengthened by Momozawa Hanako in all aspects. Not only can it take the four of them from China to Antarctica, but it can also withstand the ravages of extremely harsh weather. It is just a snowmobile.

The speed was greatly limited, and it was also the first time that Yougege drove a snowmobile deep into the heart of Antarctica, so he knew very little about possible obstacles along the way, so he could only stop and go to ensure safety.

After enough time, the mutual understanding among the people in the car naturally deepened a lot.

Except for Mi Tuo'er, who was doted on by three women as her own children, and had no secrets, the other three people successively revealed the secrets they had hidden in their hearts.

Perhaps because of Masato Shimizu's success, Hanako Momosawa had nothing to shy away from when talking about her experiences in the place of origin.

But what Shimizu Masato didn't expect was that Momosawa Hanako would actually be related to the guy who attacked the Pacific Rim nuclear power system, and they even trusted each other very much... It was really a bad relationship.

"Actually, I didn't know that Liu Ping was the executor of the attack on the Pacific Rim nuclear power system until he died. So, I really don't know how to describe my feelings... I have every reason to hate him.

I could even seek revenge from him right away... But think about it, if it hadn't been for him along the way, I might have died under the shelter... Of course, I also know that without him, there wouldn't be these troubles... Ha...

Humans are really contradictory creatures." Momosawa Hanako became obviously much more relaxed after telling her secret.

Shimizu Masato hugged her, put his chin on her shoulder, pressed against Momosawa Hanako's neck and asked: "What happened next? They both died, how did you survive alone?"

Momosawa Hanako was stunned when she heard this, then smiled bitterly and said to herself: "Yeah...how can I survive on my own? I'm also confused...but I survived...even if I ran out of ammunition and food

I never thought about giving up... I probably thought it was quite interesting down there. Plus, Natsume and I made an agreement that when the sun rises again in the future, the three of us would go out to the sea to bask in the sun together.

Yes, so... I couldn't bear to die, so I survived in a daze... But maybe it was because I kept carrying it, so I finally got lucky."

Momosawa Hanako did not explain in detail what she experienced alone later, but according to her previous statement, after passing through the dark area, they saw more wreckage at the place of origin.

You can tell that those wrecks are from different eras just by looking at them... some are wooden sailing ships, some are battleships from World War I or World War II, and some are more modern... In short, when passing through the wreckage

It's like walking through a historical jungle.

And there, Momozawa Hanako and Liu Ping discovered that there were still human activities, but these guys seemed to have degraded quite seriously. Not only had they lost their basic language skills, but their eyes had also degraded, and they felt more like wild beasts.

Not human. Liu Ping was also injured while fighting these things here. Later, his wound infection worsened... and he died without the help of any available medicine.

In the further story, Momosawa Hanako also revealed that there is an ancient city deep underground that looks more like an altar. It has many elements of a city, but it is more like a huge whole, especially in the city.

In the center, Momosawa Hanako also discovered the bones and blood left by the sacrifices. The mysterious ancient civilization once had a glorious and glorious past here, but unfortunately all they have left is just a ruin.

"In the ruins, I found many things that were very similar to what was recorded in my father's diary. I roughly understood that this was probably the legendary Coibo civilization. However, judging from the clues I found, this was not the orthodox Coibo civilization.

It is a branch of the inheritance of Bo civilization, and its main responsibility is to protect something in the place of origin." Momosawa Hanako had a strange expression when she said this.

Qingshui Masato asked naturally: "What is it?"

"A cube." Momozawa Hanako said and took out a Rubik's cube from behind.

Qingshui Masato's eyes widened: "You won't be brought out, right?"

Yougege also looked at it carefully, but she immediately saw that what Momosawa Hanako was holding was just an ordinary Rubik's Cube. Momosawa Hanako also rolled her eyes at Shimizu Masato: "How is it possible? I want to have that

It's not that embarrassing... You don't know how terrifying the monsters guarding that thing are. They are several meters tall, and each of them looks like a giant wearing iron armor. I'm lucky to be alive."

Masato Shimizu just said it casually, but she still had a sense of adventure. Her eyes were shining and she said, "I'm actually a little curious after hearing what you said."

Momosawa Hanako opened her eyes wide: "Hey, hey, you were at a tourist attraction at that time!"

But Masato Shimizu said: "Don't you think this is interesting?"

Momosawa Hanako, who had gone through a life-and-death struggle, immediately shook her head: "I don't think so. I think people would live longer if they were less curious."

"That's what I said, but the ancients said that if you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening. What's more, it is such a rare experience. Think about how many people in this world have been mediocre all their lives and have never even left their hometown. This way

How boring is it to be a human being? So if I had to choose, I definitely hope to witness more miracles, especially the place of origin you mentioned, which is a treasure land that is very likely to contain the secret of the birth of human beings. Even if

No matter how dangerous it is, just thinking about being exposed to the truth makes me tremble with excitement." After Masato Shimizu confessed his feelings, his words and demeanor seemed to be much more relaxed.

At least in Momosawa Hanako's past impression, Masato Shimizu has always been a quiet and good girl, but she is not like her eyes shining now, thinking about exploring the place of origin.

Momosawa Hanako laughed dryly: "That's OK. When the sun comes out, I will take you to the entrance. You can take the dry food and set off. I won't accompany you."

After hearing this, Masato Shimizu came to her senses. She immediately blushed and punched her best friend several times with her small fist. She felt as if her thoughts had been revealed and she was very embarrassed.

Momozawa Hanako murmured in her heart: 'The sky has become pale and the earth has become huge. O Lord, Creator, please quickly return to me the elegant person I am familiar with.'

Yougege was amused, and she said: "Actually... I know a little bit about the place of origin, but it seems a little different from what Hanako you just described."

Momozawa Hanako was startled when she heard this, looked up at Yougege and said, "Oh? Where is the discrepancy?"

Yougege said: "In fact, the research on the place of origin was already being studied by the Mysterious Matter Management Department of the National Security Department more than a century ago. However, due to technical constraints at that time, it was difficult to have equipment that could withstand the undersea tunnel.

Most of those tests failed. However, judging from some clues about the place of origin collected by the department from all over the world, it can be seen that the place of origin is actually a broken continent in the center of the earth. This continent was originally a whole.

It sank to the bottom of the sea a billion years ago and eventually entered the mantle area, becoming a mysterious sinking continent... About 50 million years ago, the continent was broken into five pieces by geological activities, corresponding to what we know

The five surface continents are Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Antarctica.”

"Wow! Is it true? Is there really a continent at the center of the earth? I thought Journey to the Center of the Earth was a lie?" Momosawa Hanako said in surprise.

Yougege smiled: "Since the birth of civilization, humans have really begun to explore this planet in the past few hundred years. For a long time in the past, we didn't even know whether the earth was round or square, and whether the sun was

What is the principle of rising in the east and setting in the west, so... don’t think we seem to know a lot about the entire world now, but compared to its mystery, we have only scratched the surface."

Momosawa Hanako has heard this statement before and agrees with it very much.

Indeed, although in this era, most people have some basic understanding of how many continents there are on the earth, what countries there are, the customs and geographical environment of these countries, there are still many scientists who have discovered and determined

The relatively unpopular things of hundreds of years are unknown.

Take Lake Don Juan and the subglacial lake under the Antarctic continent as an example. These discoveries have been clearly documented as early as the 1970s and 1980s, and various countries have begun research. But for the general public,

In other words, if you don’t pay attention to the corresponding popular science content, you may never know about these things in your life.

As for Penguin Island, the Manchester Gap discovered in the late blackout era, the underground tombs in the hinterland of Iceland, and the "Old Gods" that some people have only gradually understood in recent years are all new and unfamiliar words.

And a few people know that Penguin Island has long been history, the bacteria in the sea crevices of Manchester almost caused a global infection, and the documents found in the ancient tombs in the hinterland of Iceland directly extended the origin of human civilization hundreds of years further.

Thousands of years ago, and the "Old Gods" came to this world long before the Cambrian Explosion?

"Is there anything else about the Inner Earth Continent?" Masato Shimizu, who had awakened her explorer nature, was fascinated by what she heard. She urgently needed to know more new things.

Yougege said: "What we currently know is that the fragmentation of the Earth's inner continent directly affected the current geology and landforms. Later, 35 million years ago, the early Coibo civilization was born, and the brilliance they created was far greater than

Today's human beings are much more powerful, so they are currently the only human civilization that can truly penetrate into the place of origin and carry out exploration and research. And if those clues are true and reliable, the 'place of origin' we understand is also

There should be at least five of them. The one you have come into contact with, Hanako, may be just one of them. It is not the same area as the place of origin that Su Che and the others visited back then. But you have all passed through a dark place, so

They have all withstood extreme tests and have been proven to be qualified to access the truth, but unfortunately... neither Su Che nor you were able to bring back key things from the place of origin to prove their existence.

, this is really a pity.”

Momosawa Hanako heard this and said unexpectedly: "Actually... I brought something back, but I didn't put it on me."

Qingshui Masato's eyes widened, and then he said in surprise: "It's yours! Hanako, what did you bring back? Gold, silver, jewelry, or secret ancient books?"

Momosawa Hanako shook her head: "Not at all...it's a very small crystal skull, probably only as big as a baby's fist."

Masato Shimizu said blankly: "Crystal skull? Is it some kind of sacrificial decoration?"

But Yougege smelled an unusual smell keenly, and she said: "No, that should be some kind of ancient recording device, similar to the data core we use to store data today! Hanako! Are you sure you brought it back?"

Momosawa Hanako nodded: "I won't lie, but... I really didn't bring it with me. I left it at home."

"Home?"

"Well, the house I lived in when I was in the Wangye Ecological Zone has been frozen into ice pimples. No one should find it." Momosawa Hanako had nothing to hide from Yu Gege and Qingshui Masato.

Qingshui Masato was immediately discouraged and said, "Hey, it would be nice if I could take it with me."

Momosawa Hanako glanced at her sideways and said, "Hey, are you the Masato I'm familiar with? You look a little suspicious."

Masato Shimizu immediately blushed again, smiled and stopped talking.

Yougege said, "It's actually simple. I can arrange for someone to pick it up, but... I don't think this matter is our current focus. We can push it back later."

Momosawa Hanako didn't expect that Yu Gege had such great energy. She thought it would be okay to say it here, but now she can't help but regret it.

Yougege seemed to see what Momozawa Hanako was thinking. She smiled and said, "Do you suspect that I am planning to do something bad?"

Momosawa Hanako grinned: "No way, I just..."

"Forget it, you two have opened your hearts. I, an old witch who has lived for so many years, have nothing to hide. I will just treat it as a sincere friend and talk to you about my past."

The words of a certain Yugege who looked like she was only twenty years old and claimed to be an old witch immediately made Momosawa Hanako and Shimizu Masato roll their eyes.
