Chapter 377 The first time I saw her, she was crawling out of a pile of dead bodies.
A few minutes later, Meng Zhiyi put on the life jacket under Shen Que's insistence.
Then the two of them came out of the room, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
"Oh my god, it's shaking so badly, I'm going to be seasick!" Leo's voice came from another room, and then he was seen coming out wearing a life jacket.
After seeing Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que outside, Leo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly approached them.
"You guys are wearing them too, so the boat won't sink, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Zhiyi bared his teeth and kicked him: "Bah, bah, bah, you crow-mouthed man, stop talking to me!"
Although Meng Zhiyi is not superstitious, at times like this, he still has to be a little respectful of nature!
Leo quickly shut up and stood with them.
Although the captain said the hail was localized, it continued for more than two hours.
The bad weather was not avoided until the ship changed its original course and chose to detour.
Feeling that the boat was gradually stabilizing, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took off his life jacket.
He muttered, "Fortunately, it's a good thing. Otherwise, if I fell into the water, I would have been frozen to death if I didn't drown."
Meng Zhiyi also asked Shen Que to help take off his life jacket. Hearing Leo's muttering, he looked at Shen Que and gritted his teeth and said, "Has his mouth always been so unlucky?"
Shen Que sighed helplessly and nodded, "Well, although I have suffered many losses, it seems that I can't change it."
Meng Zhiyi: "My hands are itchy, I want to hit someone."
"Don't bother with him, let's go back to the room and rest." Shen Que was already used to Leo's words, so he ignored him and went back to the room with Meng Zhiyi.
The subsequent voyage was relatively smooth, and we did not encounter any bad weather. However, we took a detour to avoid hail, and arrived half a day later than expected.
There is no port here, so ships can only stop in the shallow sea area and have to lower their boats to go ashore.
The captain dropped the anchor and moored at a more suitable location, then lowered the small boat to allow Meng Zhiyi and the others to go ashore first.
Then, Wang Xiao led others to move supplies.
Fortunately, Shen Que had foresight and asked his housekeeper to take people to buy a few snowmobiles and trailers when they were at the port, so that transporting supplies would not be so troublesome.
"Okay, you don't have to wait for us here, because we don't know how long our survey will take. We will contact you when we are done." Leo said as he handed a suitcase full of cash to the captain.
"This... so much?" The captain was so shocked after seeing the reward that he was speechless.
Leo: “You deserve this.”
The captain was a little surprised because at first he thought it was just a normal reward price and never thought it would be so much.
"Well, while the weather is still good, you should hurry back."
The captain smiled and carried his briefcase. He then said, "When you finish your work, please contact me and I will come back to pick you up."
"good."
After seeing the captain off, Meng Zhiyi and his party were ready to move forward.
There were three snowmobiles in total, two of which were responsible for hauling supplies. Each vehicle could only seat two people. Wang Xiao, Leo, and the housekeeper were responsible for following the main force and watching over the supplies.
Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que rode a bicycle and went to the front to investigate whether there was any trace of Lian Mubai's base.
They are the only ones on the vast ice field.
The freezing cold wind made it difficult for everyone to move forward. Meng Zhiyi and Shen Quehun wrapped themselves tightly, wearing goggles and masks on their faces.
The two followed the map and soon found a vacant house.
The outside of the house was covered with frost, and the two men had to work hard to open the door.
The house has two floors, and it is empty except for some discarded furniture. The two walked up and down the floors and found that this should be where the survey team was stationed before.
Although the reason for the evacuation was unknown, the house provided Meng Zhiyi and his team with a good place to stay.
Shen Que: "This is on the back of the volcano. According to Lian Mubai's sailing direction, they should land on the front of the volcano."
In the house, Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi were looking at the map and making guesses.
Meng Zhiyi: "That's perfect. We won't be discovered if we stay here. Once we are settled, we will find a chance to go to the front of the volcano and take a look."
"The captain said that many people came the second time, but he was not allowed to take them back. These people in the second batch either died or established a base here."
Shen Que nodded and agreed with Meng Zhiyi's speculation.
"Then send the location to the others first, and ask them to come here and rest today. We will go explore again tomorrow morning."
"good."
Having a place to hide from the snow is a good thing for everyone.
After all, this place is a bit overwhelming even for well-trained combatants.
At this moment, a charcoal fire was lit in the house to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and everyone worked together to clean the window that was sealed with frost.
The first floor was reserved for the bodyguards brought this time, while Meng Zhiyi and his team went to the second floor.
"Ah, tomorrow will be the polar night." Suddenly, Leo's voice rang out.
Meng Zhiyi raised his head, a little confused: "Polar Night? Are you sure?"
Without waiting for Leo to speak, the butler standing in front of the charcoal basin said, "Yes, according to the time, the polar night will begin tomorrow."
"Is there any explanation for this?" Wang Xiao on the side asked puzzledly.
Butler: "During the polar night, the Space-Time Bureau is connected to every space-time, because at this time, the magnetic field is the strongest."
"Polar night is also the time when each system chooses its host."
Hearing this, Meng Zhiyi suddenly remembered.
It was around this time that she was first tied up by the system.
Thinking of this, she said casually, "No wonder, the first time I died was around this time."
“???” Leo and Wang Xiao looked at her.
Leo: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
"I'm serious." Meng Zhiyi no longer had anything to hide. Even Mu Bai and the others had accepted it. The fact that he had died shouldn't be that hard to accept, right?
Wang Xiao didn't say anything, but shifted his gaze to Shen Que.
I wondered if the young master knew about this.
Unexpectedly, the next second Shen Que spoke up: "So, you were also selected by the system at that time?"
Meng Zhiyi: "Yeah, I died in frustration, and I feel resentful. If the system doesn't choose me, I will probably become a vicious ghost, worse than Lian Mubai."
Leo: “…”So this is why you pointed a gun at my head the first time we met?
Wang Xiao: “…” So this is the reason why Miss Meng acted like a troublemaker after returning to the Meng family?
Hearing this, the butler chuckled and said quietly, "The girl you saw has already been taken care of by the young lady. I remember the first time I saw her, she had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies."
