Chapter 67 Quickly Transmigrate! Fate of the Ice Star (XIX)
Therefore, Shu Yang decided to form a team again, bring the most advanced equipment, and go to the place shown on the map to find out. As soon as the news came out, the laboratory exploded, and everyone was eager to try and join this adventure.
After careful consideration, Shu Yang finally chose the experienced engineer Zhao and the knowledgeable Wang Botu to join the team. In addition, in order to deal with possible emergencies, Manager Li also equipped them with an elite security team.
On the eve of departure, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang stood on the top of the Ice Star, looking at the vast starry sky, their hearts full of expectations and longings for the future. They knew that this expedition would be full of challenges and dangers, but they were ready and had no regrets for the future of mankind.
"Are you ready?" Shu Yang turned to look at Feng Ziang, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course."
Feng Ziang smiled slightly and held the map tightly in his hand, "Let's uncover the mystery of the 'Source of Life' together!"
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, turned around and took firm steps towards the unknown realm...
The cold wind blew past, sweeping up the ice and snow on the ground, forming a white vortex around Shu Yang and Feng Ziang. In the distance, the glacier reflected a faint blue light under the starlight, like a portal to another world.
"So beautiful..." Shu Yang tilted his head slightly, letting the cold wind blow his long hair.
"Yes, just like our future, it is full of unknowns, but also full of hope." Feng Ziang said, tightening his coat to block some of the cold for Shu Yang.
Shu Yang felt Feng Ziang's thoughtfulness, and a warm current surged in his heart. He turned around and smiled at him, with his eyes shining like stars.
"We're leaving tomorrow, are you nervous?" Shu Yang asked, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone.
"It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous."
Feng Ziang smiled and admitted frankly, "After all, this expedition is unusual. We may be facing unprecedented challenges."
“But we are not fighting alone.”
Shu Yang said, looking at the team members who were making final preparations before setting off in the distance, "We have a strong team. I believe we can overcome all difficulties and find the 'source of life'."
“You’re right!”
Feng Ziang was infected by Shu Yang's confidence, and his heart was filled with strength, "We will definitely succeed!"
The next morning, the expedition team was ready to go. Shu Yang was wearing a silver-white protective suit, which outlined his tall figure and made him look heroic. Feng Ziang was wearing a black protective suit, which made him look more stable and reliable.
"Let's go!" With Shu Yang's order, the expedition team set out on the journey to the area shown on the map.
Along the way, they crossed glacial canyons, crossed ice and snow wastelands, overcame various harsh environments and emergencies, and finally arrived at their destination three days later.
"That's it!"
Feng Ziang pointed to the location marked on the map. It was a mountain covered with ice and snow. At the foot of the mountain there was a huge cave. The entrance of the cave was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, emitting a faint blue light.
"It looks like we'll have to work harder to get into the cave." Engineer Zhao frowned as he looked at the frozen cave entrance.
"Let me do it." Wang Botu said, taking out a small device from his backpack and firing a laser beam at the ice layer.
With a slight cracking sound, a crack appeared on the ice, and then the crack quickly spread, and in an instant, the entire cave entrance was opened.
"Come on, let's go in!"
Shu Yang was the first to step into the cave, followed closely by Feng Zi, and the other team members also followed in.
The cave was completely dark, with only the light from the headlamp barely illuminating the road ahead. The air was filled with a damp and cold breath that made people shiver.
"It's so cold here..." Secretary Chen's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously a little scared.
"Everyone be careful, follow the team closely and don't fall behind!" Shi Yang reminded, his voice echoing in the empty cave, sounding a little eerie.
"Look, what is that?" Engineer Zhao, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed.
Everyone looked in the direction of Engineer Zhao's finger, and saw a faint flickering light deep in the cave...
A faint blue light flickered deep in the cave, flickering like breathing, adding a touch of weirdness to the quiet cave. The group walked lightly towards the light. The deeper they went, the lower the temperature became. The breath they exhaled instantly condensed into ice crystals, and they could even hear the sound of their own heartbeats echoing in the empty cave.
"Everyone, be careful with your steps and follow the team closely." Shu Yang reminded in a low voice, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
"It's... so cold here..."
Secretary Chen's voice trembled slightly, and he hugged his arms tightly with both hands, trying to absorb a little warmth.
Guide Wu, who had been walking in the front, suddenly stopped. He squatted down and carefully observed the ground. "The ice layer here seems a little strange..."
"What's wrong?"
Feng Ziang walked forward and followed Guide Wu's gaze, only to see several tiny cracks appearing on the originally flat ice surface, which were difficult to detect without careful observation.
"These cracks look like some kind of man-made markings..." Director Wu stood up, frowning, "We'd better be careful. There might be some mechanism here."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and the ice under Wu Xiang's feet collapsed instantly, and he fell down defenselessly!
"Director Wu!"
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang screamed at the same time and rushed to the edge of the cave, only to see that it was pitch black and bottomless below.
"Quick, give me your hand!"
Feng Ziang quickly put down his backpack, took out a rope from it, and threw it towards the bottom of the cave with all his strength.
However, all he got in response was endless silence.
"What should we do? Will Director Wu..." Secretary Chen's face turned pale and his voice trembled. He didn't dare to say anything more.
Shu Yang took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Let's not panic. The situation here is unclear. Rushing down to search and rescue will only increase casualties. Technician Zhou, can you see if you can use the equipment to detect the situation below?"
Technician Zhou nodded solemnly, took out a palm-sized instrument from his backpack, and prepared to start debugging. However, his hand froze in mid-air...
"How...how is this possible?!"
Technician Zhou looked at the instrument in his hand in disbelief, his expression becoming even uglier, "My equipment... seems to have a problem..."
"What's wrong? Technician Zhou, what's wrong with the equipment?"
Shu Yang asked anxiously. Director Wu's disappearance had already exhausted him, and now the detection equipment had problems again, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
