"Brother Zhou, the cave excavation is almost complete. We should be able to open it up in about two more days!"
"Very good!"
Zhou Zhihao's face immediately flushed: "Finally, we can leave this hellhole. We don't have much time left. These friends know the whereabouts of Team Three, so let's take advantage of these next two days to find them quickly!"
"By the way, Brother Zhou, I've received the message you sent a while ago. We don't have much time left!" The person who spoke whispered in Zhou Zhihao's ear, and then looked at Lu Yuan and the others.
"How much longer?"
Zhou Zhihao looked slightly nervous.
"We have five days left! They'll send a transport plane to pick us up then, so we need to leave as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Zhou Zhihao stood up, glanced at the time, and then looked at Lu Yuan and the others. He could no longer hide his feelings.
"Brother Lu, if you don't mind, why don't you come with us this time? We'll go to Taipingzhou together!"
After hearing what the other person said, Lu Yuan and the person next to him exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled: "Brother Zhou, are you sure you didn't get it wrong? It's the Pacific Ocean, not the Pacific Ocean!"
"Haha, the outside world has really been renamed Taipingzhou now. Actually, it's a new continent that has just formed in the Pacific Ocean and is called Taipingzhou!"
Zhou Zhihao smiled and continued to explain: "It has now been determined that the tectonic plates in the world have shifted and formed five new continents. The previous seven continents have all disappeared in the last two weeks. One of them is Australia and the other is Antarctica. However, it seems that only some ice sheets remain in Antarctica now!"
Everyone was shocked. They couldn't believe that such a large continent had sunk to the bottom of the sea. The accident that had occurred was clearly beyond their imagination.
"The temperature in Taiping Prefecture is much better than here. Although it's still below minus twenty degrees Celsius, it's much better than minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius here. Moreover, they've already started building underground fortresses there. The third phase of the project is probably already completed. They're probably recruiting people to go back. Take advantage of this time to come with us, and then you won't have to suffer here anymore!"
The moment the other party invited Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan felt a sudden sense of relief. He was actually very resistant to contact with the outside world, but now he had a dimensional space that could allow everyone to live better here.
However, the feeling of being cut off from the outside world for a long time made him feel abandoned by the world. Eventually, he even lost the ability to talk to anyone around him.
Especially at home, when family members sit in front of him, he hears the same things he's said countless times and the same jokes he's told countless times, but he has nothing left to say.
As soon as Zhou Zhihao finished speaking, the teammate next to him gently pulled him aside and whispered in his ear, "Brother Zhou, have you forgotten? Their identities can't be taken away at all. It would be quite difficult to get rid of them all. The higher-ups probably wouldn't agree!"
Zhou Zhihao's smile froze instantly, and he gave an awkward laugh.
Lu Yuan immediately noticed the other person's embarrassed expression and could guess what was going on: "Brother Zhou, thank you for the invitation, but we have a lot of people here, so I guess we can't go with you!"
Zhou Zhihao sighed, "Well, okay, maybe I didn't think it through enough. Alright, since we've met and I've already said this, it's no problem for me to get you a few identity tokens. It's just a small token of my appreciation!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and like everyone else, his impression of Zhou Zhihao improved considerably.
After chatting for a while, everyone packed their belongings again, and Lu Yuan led the group to the place where they had found the body to search for the expedition team.
When we arrived at the ruined palace area, the half-eaten orca head was still on the ground, covered with a thin layer of ice.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Zhihao and his group immediately surrounded it. After examining it, they exchanged glances and exclaimed in amazement.
"I estimate that this behemoth number seven is nearby, but with our current capabilities, we simply cannot capture it!"
Zhou Zhihao's face showed a hint of regret: "This is definitely a good sample, but it's really too big. Even the warships sent here might not be able to subdue it!"
"Yes, this thing probably consumed the serum from those mutants, which is why it changed so much. What a pity!"
After inspecting the area again, Zhou Zhihao took some samples from the whale carcass, put them in a plastic bag, and then followed Lu Yuan's pace to continue walking ahead.
Upon arriving at a deep cave, Lu Yuan pointed and said, "The corpse is inside!"
Zhou Zhihao glanced inside, then waved to the people behind him: "Keep digging, dig them all out, so we can have an explanation for our superiors!"
After a while, the group of people wielded shovels and busied themselves inside. Sure enough, they found several corpses. After checking them over, they confirmed that nothing was missing and then put the items on their person.
"Brother Lu, thank you so much. We're very grateful for your help this time. Let's leave this glacier now!"
Lu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything, then followed the other person out of the cave.
However, due to the impact along the way, the glacier broke in many places. Fortunately, everyone had plenty of tools, so they built roads and bridges through these faults and finally left the glacier.
