Chapter 537 Crazy Mountains


    The snowstorm lasted for two days before it calmed down again. At the same time, the plane piloted by the maid finally appeared on the other side of the horizon.


    Seeing the maid who finally arrived, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief, so she came out in a hurry. This time the maid just rented a light ten-seater transport plane. Although it is not big, it is enough for Duanmu Huai and others. After arriving at the scientific research station and carrying out a round of supplies, Duanmuhuai found Dr. Parmar and stated that they were leaving the scientific research station next.


    "this………"


    I have to say that although Professor Parmar was mentally prepared for Duanmuhuai''s request, he was still a little surprised. After all, this is Antarctica, not to mention Duanmu Huai wants to take Mary with him. To be honest, he really doesn''t understand what adventure there is in taking such a girl to the depths of Antarctica.


    This is not an exploration of the scenery of a primeval forest.


    “Although we did have words in advance, dear sir, I still don’t understand what you want to do when you come to Antarctica this time...”


    “Professor Parmar, do you think it is better that some things should never be excavated and disappear completely from this world?”


    "This... I''m not sure. I haven''t encountered a similar situation so far. What''s more, the purpose of our profession is to dig out things that have disappeared in this world and show them to the world, right? "


    "Maybe, maybe not, but of course, if it''s just weathered stone, that''s fine."


    Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.


    “Uh, so you’re saying there’s more than just rocks down here?”


    "hehe………"


    Faced with Professor Parmar’s inquiry, Duanmuhuai chuckled.


    “Don’t worry, even if it’s not now, I assure you, it will be soon.”


    ???”


    ?After making the plan, Duanmuhuai and his party soon took the plane and set off again, heading to the depths of Antarctica.


    At the beginning, the climate was relatively stable and sunny. Mary was wearing a thick coat, sitting on a chair, staring uneasily at the white snow below. When she woke up before, she told Duanmuhuai about her dream, and the latter also told her that this was the reason why Mary and Charlie''s spirits were resonating. If this was the case, it meant that they did not have any problems this time. Wrong place.


    In other words, is Charlie really here?


    ??Mary clenched her fists and stared at the snowfield below. She could see a large group of penguins swaying. Normally, she would have cheered for this, but now her face was just full of sadness, nervous, expectant and even uneasy.


    However, not long after, shadows enveloped the earth, and the blizzard roared without warning again. The strong winds made the plane rock up and down like a bumpy boat in the waves.


    “I, what shall we do next, sir?”


    Holding the handrail next to her tightly, Mary asked uneasily. This was the first time she had experienced such a strong storm in the air. It felt as if her whole body was about to be swept up by a whirlwind and fall to the ground.


    “Don’t worry, it’s just a small matter, nothing to rush about.”


    Duanmu Huai seemed quite calm. If he were an ordinary investigator, he would probably have to make an emergency landing at this time and pass a survival assessment. He might also have to set up camp and make repairs... But he didn''t need to go to such trouble. Just kidding, if he, the God of Destruction, still resorts to such old-fashioned methods, it would be a shame.


    At this time it should be......


    ?Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched his cane, stared ahead, and gave a low drink.


    "snort!!"


    ——————!”


    The moment she heard Duanmuhuai''s low roar, Mary felt as if she heard a series of rolling thunderous roars, so that she subconsciously covered her ears. At the same time, she saw only the dense dark clouds in front of her. At this moment, it was like being hit by some invisible roaring air current, and it suddenly became clear. In just the blink of an eye, the wind stopped blowing, the rain stopped falling, and the sky became clear.


    "Hmm...I think this move is not much worse than Gu Leiya''s dragon roar."


    Duanmuhuai moved his head, looked at the sunny weather again, and nodded with satisfaction, then he glanced at the system prompts in front of him.


    【Launching deterrence against ''Blizzard''... Deterrence successful】


    【‘Blizzard’ turns into ‘sunny’】


    【Climate Change Success】


    ………………”


    ?Hmm, how should I say it? As long as it works, nothing else matters.


    Not long after the dark clouds dispersed, a huge mountain range stood in front of everyone like a city wall. Without Duanmuhuai giving an order, the maid had already pulled up the nose of the plane and flew towards the top of the hillside. Just like crossing the stone waves, the next moment, the scene on the other side of the waves was clearly displayed in front of everyone.


    ?It is an almost endless maze of neat megalithic buildings, made of square arcs and angled boulders. Their buildings are far taller and older than humans can imagine. If there are scientific researchers coming along, they will be shocked just by seeing this scene. However, for Duanmuhuai, this does not represent a new discovery that shocks the world, nor is it a part worth paying attention to. , on the contrary, it just represents a destination for them.


    That’s all.


    “Can you feel it? Where is Charlie?”


    Duanmuhuai just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, looked at Mary and asked, and upon hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, the latter also recovered from the shock of looking at the huge and shocking black city in front of her. Then she closed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and stretched out her hand to point forward. "It should be over there, I have a feeling..."


    “Okay, let’s go.”


    The plane passed over the mountains and entered the dark and huge city. The whole city was dead silent, without any sound. The sun shone on these weird and twisted stone buildings, creating phantoms that seemed to be twisting for a while, which was breathtaking. A disgusting creature.


    Then, the plane gradually landed in the shadows at a huge, half-collapsed, like entrance to a huge temple. Duanmu Huai opened the cabin door and stepped off the plane in big strides. Mary and Lorena followed him down. Then Duanmuhuai gave the order to the maid.


    “Keep circling and wait for my order.”


    “Okay, Master.”


    ?After listening to Duanmuhuai''s words, the maid nodded, then started the plane again and flew into the sky again, while Mary stared at the surrounding city blankly, as if she was in a trance. It wasn''t until Duanmu Huai patted her on the head that the girl woke up from that strange confusion.


    “Okay, let’s go.”


    “Ah, okay.”


    I have to say that walking in such a city is indeed a very strange experience. Mary held a flashlight, stepped on the snow under her feet, and looked around. Completely unfamiliar murals, completely unfamiliar buildings, and words that she had never learned before, all gave Mary the illusion that she was now on an icy alien planet, walking in a city built by an alien race. …


    ]


    A feeling of dizziness came over, causing Mary to lower her head involuntarily, while Duanmuhuai reached out and patted her back.


    “Don’t pay too much attention to these things, don’t take them too seriously, no matter what these things are, they are just a pile of garbage now.”


    "yes………"


    “By the way, how about I tell you an interesting little story.”


    Maybe it was too boring to walk here. There were only footsteps and the light of the flashlight in the dark ruins. Neither Lorena nor Mary spoke. This made Duanmuhuai feel a little bored, so he started chatting.


    “I’ll tell you how the owner of this place became extinct. You will definitely find it interesting.”


    “Huh? Mr. Knight, do you even know this?”


    "real??"


    ?As expected, when they heard Duanmuhuai''s words, both of them were stunned for a moment and immediately cheered up. Duanmu Huai also nodded and continued to talk to them.


    "A long, long time ago, when there were no humans on this planet, a group of alien races called the Ancients came to this planet. This group of Ancients...how to say, rough skin and thick flesh, let''s put it this way, They can physically travel back and forth between the stars and the universe without using any tools, from one planet to another..."


    “So powerful? If only I had this ability...”


    Hearing this, Lorena suddenly showed a yearning expression, but Mary looked confused.


    “Then...why did these ancient ones come to this planet?”


    "I don''t know. It''s probably a vacation. You see, it''s too hot at home and you want to find a place to escape the heat, or it''s too cold at home and you want to find a place to spend the winter. Isn''t it human nature? Then they come When I got here, I felt that the climate here was good, so I stayed here.”


    ………The climate is good???”


    ?Mary looked around suspiciously.


    “Back then, back then, it definitely won’t work now.”


    Duanmuhuai laughed and waved his hand.


    "Then, the climate here was so good at that time, so these ancient people felt that it was too comfortable to live here. Oh, they didn''t want to leave. Then after millions of years... you all know, the ice age and so on Here we are, the weather is starting to get colder, and now the Ancient Ones want to leave...but they can''t leave."


    “Hey? Why??”


    Lorena asked curiously.


    "Oh, it''s very simple. They have been at ease for too long, their body functions have deteriorated, and they have lost their previous ability to travel back and forth between the universe. This means that they can only be trapped and die on this planet without There was no way to find other planets, so they were miserable and had to stay here to starve and freeze. Finally, a little trouble happened, and they became extinct. "


    ?Having said this, Duanmu Huai spread his hands.


    “How about being born in sorrow and dying in happiness? Isn’t it interesting?”


    “Indeed, you can’t neglect exercise!”


    Hearing this, Lorena clenched her fists hard and nodded, with a look of deep understanding on her face. Mary looked at this and that. To be honest, there were questions in her mind, but... this was probably just a story made up by Mr. Duanmu, right?


    After all, according to him, this happened before humans were even born. How did he know?


    Now all that''s left is sweating, coughing and a bit of a fever...
