That night, Qingyao was explaining to Katesilen the arrangements for the trip to Country M the next day. Qingyao's cell phone buzzed in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a call from her boss.
She felt something in her heart and vaguely guessed the purpose of the call, so she walked to a quiet place to answer it.
"Qingyao, you are going to Country M this time to explore the creatures under the glaciers. The task is arduous and full of unknowns. I want to arrange for a few people to go with you so that you can take care of each other and make the exploration work more comprehensive and in-depth. There are four special forces soldiers who are agile and can deal with various sudden dangerous situations; there are also two biologists who will definitely complement and help you in professional research. What do you think?" The leader's voice was full of concern and seriousness.
Qingyao pondered for a moment, her eyes unconsciously looking at Katesilen who was not far away. Katesilen seemed to sense something as well and looked up at her. When their eyes met, Qingyao asked for her opinion with her eyes. Katesilen thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Qingyao felt relieved after receiving the response and replied to the phone: "Leader, this arrangement is very good. I agree."
With this decision, the team heading to Country M grew larger. Four special forces soldiers set out the next day. They were tall and straight with stern faces, wearing specially made cold-proof combat uniforms, carrying sophisticated equipment, and standing in neat rows.
The two biologists wore thick glasses and spoke in low voices, occasionally checking the professional instruments and materials they carried.
Qingyao looked at these companions who were about to travel with her, and an inexplicable sense of wonder surged in her heart. In the past, she had always traveled alone, and she hoped that these people would not hold her back.
After Qingyao and his party arrived safely in Country M, they immediately transferred to another plane and headed towards the southernmost part of the country.
On the plane, everyone had different expressions. The four special forces soldiers remained alert at all times, sitting upright, their eyes occasionally scanning the window and the movements in the cabin, as if danger could come at any time.
The two biologists huddled together, discussing the upcoming exploration in low voices, flipping through materials in their hands from time to time, excitement and nervousness intertwined in their eyes.
Qingyao and Katesilen sat side by side, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window.
After several hours of flight, the plane finally landed at the southern airport. As I stepped out of the cabin, an even colder wind blew in my face, as if announcing the harshness of this land close to the poles.
Without staying for long, they walked straight towards the professional navy that had been waiting nearby.
The ship is equipped with various professional exploration equipment and sufficient supplies.
After Qingyao and others got on board, the ship started slowly and headed towards the center of the mysterious and dangerous glacier. At first, the sea was relatively calm and the ship moved forward steadily through the waves.
But as they gradually approached the glacier area, the waves began to become turbulent and the ship shook violently.
Four special forces soldiers struggled to gain a foothold on the shaking deck and assisted the crew in securing equipment that might be shaken off.
Qingyao had the two biologists hide in the cabin, but the further they advanced, the more difficult it became. Huge icebergs began to appear frequently, forcing the ship to navigate them with great caution. The captain was concentrating on controlling the ship, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Suddenly, without warning, a gigantic iceberg appeared ahead, nearly spanning the entire shipping lane! Like a sleeping giant, it loomed before them, emitting a chilling chill.
Many people on the ship turned pale instantly when they saw this. The crew members skillfully operated the console to make the huge ship turn urgently.
However, due to inertia, the cruise ship inevitably began to shake violently, as if it was about to be swallowed by the surging waves.
Except for Qingyao who remained steady and motionless, the others held on tightly to anything around them that could stabilize their bodies, for fear that they would be thrown into the freezing sea if they were not careful.
Fortunately, after a thrilling struggle, the ship finally managed to avoid the iceberg and the sea gradually returned to calm. But at this time, the fear brought by that terrifying moment still lingered in everyone's heart.
Katesilen took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then walked quickly forward and said respectfully to Qingyao who was standing at the bow of the ship: "Your Majesty, the ship can only go here at most. If it goes any further, it will be swallowed by the cliffs hidden under this sea. Therefore, we must get off the ship here now, put on professional diving suits, and carry enough oxygen equipment before we can continue to explore. It's just that... over the years, we have tried to send people diving underwater many times, but each time we gave up halfway. Either their bodies were squeezed and burst because they could not withstand the huge water pressure, or they were forced to return halfway. So far, we have only developed cameras that can be sent down, but the real personnel have never been able to reach the target location. What should we do?" As she spoke, she looked at Qingyao worriedly, waiting for her to make a decision.
Qingyao stood at the side of the ship, her expression solemn and resolute. She swept her gaze over the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, stay where you are and wait. No action is allowed!" She then turned to Katesilen and said, "Kate, bring me some waterproof cameras."
Katesilen acted quickly, arriving moments later with several compact, brand-new waterproof cameras. She looked at Qingyao, her eyes filled with worry and confusion. "Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. At least bring your diving gear," she said, handing over a set of sophisticated diving gear.
Qingyao shook her head slightly, "No need, I know what I'm doing." She took the waterproof camera, checked it carefully, and after confirming that the equipment was normal, she no longer hesitated.
Everyone looked at her in astonishment and wanted to dissuade her, but they were intimidated by her unquestionable aura. Qingyao jumped up with the camera in her hand.
The moment Qingyao jumped off the glacier, System Xiaoyi jumped out immediately like an agile cheetah. It transformed into a little child and picked up the camera in Qingyao's hand. Then it quickly took out a transparent protective cover from the shopping mall behind it and put it on the camera. This protective cover looks thin and transparent, but it is actually very tough, like an indestructible shield that can withstand the huge pressure underwater, ensuring that the camera remains safe in extreme environments and will not burst or be damaged due to pressure.
At the same time, Qingyao pulled out a crystal-clear water-repellent pill from her bosom and swallowed it without hesitation. The moment the pill entered her mouth, something magical happened: the icy feeling that had been pricking her disappeared without a trace.
Qingyao felt as if she was wrapped in a warm barrier, her whole body felt comfortable and she could move freely. She jumped lightly into the glacier. The moment she entered the water, she did not feel any obstruction or discomfort, as if she was walking on land easily and casually.
Her figure appears exceptionally agile in the dark blue glacier water, and every movement is smooth and natural, as if she has become one with the cold waters, swimming towards the mysterious depths of the glacier.
