"Director Fang originally wanted you to go, but he saw you on the list."
I knew that Fang Zhiyou would not leave me behind.
"But they let you, a girl, go to a place as cold as Antarctica?"
"Oh! I asked for it. To be honest! Working with you on behalf of the Fourth Bureau, I'll have no worries about food and drink, and I'll also get a good salary.
I felt like I was almost numb. I volunteered to participate.”
Uh...don't let those workers hear this, otherwise they will have to take action, right?
We were chatting animatedly when I caught a glimpse of Shao Lingze looking like he was about to kill someone.
Still hate me?
"Have you made any preparations for this trip to Antarctica? I heard we'll be there for several days, and it's extremely harsh and cold there."
I don't understand the situation in this regard, but I have the blood of the core machine, so being cold shouldn't be a big problem.
Nangong Xi blushed when she said this: "I bought you a down vest and will give it to you when we get to the place."
Holy shit! You're buying me clothes?
"Thank you! I'll prepare something for you before we leave."
My information contains a rechargeable electric heating device.
Hope to have time to make it.
Then, someone notified us to board the plane. We all lined up and got on the special plane prepared for us by the military.
There was nothing much on the way. Nangong Xi and I sat together and talked about our recent work.
Even Shao Lingze would look at me from time to time.
As soon as we arrived at the plateau and the plane door opened, cold air blew in.
But I only felt it for a second, and then the cold feeling disappeared.
The others, on the other hand, shrank their necks as soon as they came down.
Nangong Xi was well prepared, but he still shrank like a little hamster.
“It’s so cold in here!”
"I don't think it's as cold here as Antarctica, right?" I took off the tactical scarf from my neck and put it on her.
There were two more cold looks, but I knew who they were from, so I simply ignored them.
The place where we landed was also a military base.
They first took us to the camp and then gave us equipment.
Of course, cotton coats and cotton boots.
In addition, each person had a sleeping bag, toiletries, three days of food, warm clothes, and some miscellaneous things, which filled a large backpack.
A major said, “You will be conducting various research tasks in the wild at an altitude of 5,000 meters for three days.
No personal belongings are allowed except the equipment we provide you.
We will evaluate your performance over these three days and select ten people.”
When everyone heard this, several people immediately looked miserable:
"Then I can't bring so much food, right?"
"I even prepared a heater!"
Holy shit! Are we going on vacation here?
But I'm wondering about one thing. We're on a plateau now. Shouldn't we first check to see if anyone has altitude sickness?
Also, there is no training before assessment.
I found out after they ordered us to check our gear.
Other people's sleeping bags and backpacks are exactly the same as the original ones, even those women are.
When it came to me, I didn't know how to do it at all. I tied it up, but it was a horrible sight.
Except Nangong Xi, everyone else was laughing at me.
"Why is there someone here who can't pack a backpack?"
"Not from the military?"
"What's the point of having someone like that? He's probably struggling to survive, so what's the point of doing research?"
The instructor shook his head after seeing this.
"Alright! Now you can form groups freely, five people per group."
As soon as the instructor finished speaking, someone shouted, "What if we don't want it, but there aren't enough people?"
I know this is directed at me. If I can't even pack a backpack, it means I haven't received any military training.
In their eyes, survival is a problem, so what mission is there?
“If there’s no one to form a team, we have to complete the inspection and record-keeping tasks ourselves.”
Everyone looked at each other, and those that were mighty and majestic became popular.
"You'll have half an hour to change clothes and form teams! After half an hour, you'll need to climb and walk to the campsite five kilometers away."
Five kilometers doesn’t sound far, but this is a plateau.
It's difficult to walk, let alone climb a mountain.
I guess a large number of people will be eliminated just to get to the campsite.
"Boss Zheng! I want to team up with you."
Nangong Xi leaned directly next to me.
Everyone had an expression of watching the fun. In their eyes, teaming up with me was no different from being eliminated themselves.
"Okay! Who else wants to team up with me?"
After I finished speaking, there was laughter all around
"ha……"
"Is it not enough that you're out yourself? You want to drag others into this?"
"If you have one, you should burn incense!"
"We still want to go to Antarctica to gild ourselves, so we won't play with you."
"ha……"
Shao Lingze didn't laugh so boldly, she just raised one corner of her mouth.
This kind of laughter is even more excessive than laughing out loud. She was just waiting to see me laugh.
Damn! Are you sure you'll be eliminated if you follow me? Just because I'm not afraid of the cold, I can crush them all.
What's more, the blood of the core machine makes me stronger, and coupled with my brain, what task can't I complete?
But they can think whatever they want. I picked up my clothes and went inside to change.
The instructors did allow us to bring weapons and computers, but they strictly forbade us to shoot wild animals.
I waited for Nangong Xi after I came out.
Soon, the woman came out. Nangong Xi had her long hair tied up and was wearing a military cap.
His face looked good, but the military coat made him look a little bulky.
"Let's go?" Nangong Xi smiled at me.
That’s right, apart from her, no one else will team up with me.
