When the encrypted email from Interpol arrived, Qin Feng was roasting marshmallows with an electromagnetic dagger. A red dot was marked on the holographic projection map of Antarctica: "The research station detected a quantum Buddhist scripture signal, which is related to the Lin server source."
Tang stuffed a warm baby into his winter clothing: "I told you long ago that Boss Lin is a penguin!" His AR glasses scanned the ice profile and suddenly captured an abnormal echo - a bronze Guanyin statue and the remains of a mammoth were sleeping side by side at a depth of more than a hundred meters in the frozen ground.
Su Chen inserted the scalpel into the ice, and the heat from the handle caused a circular Buddha's temple to appear on the ice. "This is not a modern creation." The system analyzed the ice core samples and found mammoth DNA fragments on the surface of the nanorobot. "It...they used ancient viruses to improve the host genes."

The moment the icebreaker hit the ice shelf, the entire ice field echoed with the sound of morning bells and evening drums. Tang 꿦 fell into the snowdrifts and dug out a piece of meteorite engraved with the "Heart Sutra": "This is a fucking scripture from outer space!" Green mucus seeped out of the cracks in the meteorite, and condensed into nano-Buddhist beads when it met the air.
Qin Feng used a thermal imaging device to lock onto the signal source, and found a bronze bell tower standing in the cracks of the ice. The bell pendulum traced a mandala trajectory with the sound of the gears biting, and each bell sound expanded the cracks in the ice layer by 1 meter. Su Chen's white coat suddenly frosted - the system detected the absolute zero-degree field generated by quantum entanglement.
"Welcome...Welcome to witness the restart of the Ice Age." The mentor's projection emerged from the top of the bell tower, with a string of animal head crystals in the Buddhist beads. "When...When the ice swallows the light, only the code will live forever."

Tang Xiao used a peach wood sword to jam the gear, and the sword suddenly appeared with the surveillance footage of the day of the laboratory explosion. Su Chen stabbed the scalpel into the control console, and in the cold light reflected by the blade, he finally saw the moment of the explosion clearly - the mentor uploaded his consciousness to the quantum server and activated the ancient device of the ice field clock tower at the same time.
"You...you started planning this years ago!" Qin Feng smashed the projection with an electromagnetic pulse gun, "Use...use a laboratory explosion to cover up the Antarctic project!"
The ice suddenly trembled violently, and the nanorobots under the ice surged out like a tide, gathering into a Guanyin in the sound of the bell. Each of their hands held a Buddhist scripture crystal from different ages, flashing alternately from oracle bones to digits. Su Chen's white coat was blown up by the strong wind, revealing the photo of his mother on his waist - the code on the back was resonating with the bell tower.

Tang 꿦 ignited the signal bullet towards the oil barrel, and the flames bloomed blood-red lotus on the ice. The high temperature temporarily incapacitated the nanorobot, and Qin Feng took the opportunity to climb up the bell tower. When ꆛ cut the main gear with a tactical dagger, the ice layer suddenly collapsed, revealing a virus library that had been sealed for thousands of years.
"This... this is the real mantra of rebirth!" Su Chen stared at the frozen ancient virus strain, "Use... use human genes to activate prehistoric pathogens!"
The mentor's projection was distorted in the blizzard: "Stupid! This is Ming's vaccine..." Before he finished speaking, Tang used AR glasses to project the Diamond Sutra, and the Buddhist code accidentally neutralized the virus DNA. The ice began to melt rapidly, and the bell tower sank into the icy sea in the roar.

On the returning icebreaker, Su Chen stared at the shrinking Antarctic continent. The system suddenly sounded an alarm, and 놛 took out a photo of his mother—the bronze code had spread to her face. Qin Feng handed over an electromagnetic dagger to peel the apple, and the blade reflected the phoenix tattoo on 놛's neck that had not faded.
Tang Xiao was hugging the heater and humming a little tune when he suddenly found a bronze Buddha head from the can of fish: "The ghost is lingering!" He threw it into the sea, and the Buddha head instantly stirred up quantum ripples in the water, outlining the new territory of the Lin Group under the setting sun.
