Chapter 775: The Tip of the Iceberg
Through Liang Jiuhui, the four of Chang Xuan quickly found Tang Xue and his party who were waiting to meet them at the base in City S, but the joy of meeting and reuniting had been diluted by the sadness of losing their teammates.
"How many of you are left?"
Tang Xue's complexion was not very good, but Chang Xuan also knew that she would always look like she had not had a good rest.
"I'm sorry," Chang Xuan replied.
"It's us who should say sorry. We didn't guarantee that everyone could complete the task better," Mu Deyun offered to apologize.
"Did you find any clues? Don't tell me that you have been here for so long, so many people have died, and you haven't gained anything yet."
Tang Xue ignored the few people but asked directly.
"Sister Tang Xue..."
Bai Ying wanted to persuade her, but she could tell that the four of them had already blamed themselves very much.
Sometimes the living suffer more than the dead.
"The clue, there is only this photo."
Chang Xuan took out a photo wrapped in several layers of cloth from his arms.
The outermost layer of cloth seemed to be slightly soaked by his sweat, but the photo inside was very well preserved.
When Tang Xue saw that there were only a few clues, she immediately wanted to get angry, but she was quickly attracted by the content of the photo.
In the photo, Peak M, the world's highest peak that should have been covered with snow, has also attracted countless mountaineering enthusiasts to climb, but there is a dark mountain peak at the top of it.
The peak should have been covered with white snow, but the dark colour meant that the ice and snow capping it had melted.
At the bottom of the photo are the faces and palms of rotting zombies through the car window.
The densely packed palms are held up high, which contrasts with the M peak in the background.
Luo Hongyi on the side saw this photo, and only four words came to mind: the end of the world...
Fang Zhengyang, who was with Dr Pei, was also an expert in the environment, and Tang Xue's name was already known before the end of the world.
In their field, it is like a thunderbolt.
Environmental science sounds like an extremely simple subject, but it covers all aspects of human life and is divided into four parts:
geography, physics, chemistry, and biology.
And Tang Xue is a leader in all these four subjects, especially her previous book "Save the Earth", which has been translated into dozens of languages and widely circulated in the world's environmental circles.
Fang Zhengyang and Tang Xue once graduated from the same university, so they can be regarded as senior brothers and sisters.
These days, Fang Zhengyang has been entertaining Tang Xue and the others.
Now when he sees the photo in Tang Xue's hand, he also feels that things are very bad.
In her book "Save the Earth", Tang Xue has repeatedly called on human beings to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
If action is not taken as soon as possible, the earth may enter an irreversible vicious circle, which will also lead to a series of natural disasters.
And now the more troublesome zombie virus, as well as the global variation of animals and plants, is it also related to the earth's environment?
"Sure enough, it's about the same as I expected," Tang Xue murmured.
"Your prediction?" Fang Zhengyang asked puzzledly, referring to the viewpoint in that book.
Tang Xue shook her head and said:
"When there was still a signal in the early days of the end of the world, we received video reports from the extreme south and the extreme north. The glaciers there were melting and reached their peak sometime before the beginning of the end of the world. "
"But I think climate warming is a process. Why does it cause the outbreak of zombie viruses and the mutation of all creatures on Earth? What is the connection between the two?"
Fang Zhengyang also frowned and said, they seem to just meet now At the tip of the iceberg, there are still too many unknown things that have not been discovered by humans.
Liang Jiuhui also particularly supports the research of Tang Xue and others. If he wants to understand the zombie virus more comprehensively, he must first figure out the cause.
Otherwise, he thinks that human beings are like blind people who can only guess randomly.
"We have no way to understand those in the extreme south and the extreme north. It's too difficult for now, so I think...go to Province Y, to Peak M."
Tang Xue said looking into the distance.
Her eyes were full of firmness and calmness as if this crazy decision was as simple as a long trip to her.
"Tang Xue, there is no one there anymore, except for zombies or zombies."
Chang Xuan said, that it is still uncertain what dangers are on M Peak, and they are just a few so-called scientists who need help from others.
How can something be done just by talking about it?
"Nonsense, of course, I know, I need you to say it."
Tang Xue stopped Chang Xuan from continuing to say that she must go to Province Y, including M Peak.
No matter how difficult it is, Tang Xue can accept failure, but I can't accept giving up, but maybe it's not the time yet, and she has to start preparing for this next step.
"Tang Xue, no matter what you need, we will fully support you," Fang Zhengyang said.
In a sense, he admires Tang Xue very much.
She is a dedicated and determined woman.
If the industry has As for the top, he felt that Tang Xue must be the one who could climb up.
Liang Jiuhui also expressed his willingness to fully support after learning about this.
"We are now ready to start laying and connecting cables to the surrounding areas. Although this is a large project, once it is completed, our base can communicate with each other, which will be much more convenient," Liang Jiuhui said.
"Director Liang Ji knows how to plan, this is indeed a very meaningful thing," Tang Xue said with a rare smile.
"It's about the same difficulty as yours, because the cables laid along the way have to find ways to prevent them from being destroyed by zombies, and before that... our cable materials are also in short supply."
Liang Jiuhui sighed, everything is difficult at the beginning, After being able to communicate in the base in City S, everyone can appreciate the convenience, so he came up with the idea of laying cables around the base in City S.
Fortunately, no one objected to this matter.
Thinking of the Xinyu team who went out to do tasks every day to improve their abilities recently, Liang Jiuhui's mind became active again, so Lu Hao received a call from Liang Jiuhui that night.
"As usual, to complete the task of 30,000 crystal cores, all you need is to bring back the cable materials from those cable factories. How about it? Are you interested?"
Liang Jiuhui asked.
"Okay, let's take it,"
Lu Hao replied with a smile.
They are doing the task of 500 crystal nuclei every day, and Liang Jiuhui is sending them money.
"The cable factory? Is it in the eastern suburbs? You have to be careful if you go there," Mao Zhihang said.
He heard that few people would go to the eastern suburbs, and there were a lot of zombies there, and the cable factories were even more ruthless.
People get involved.
"What? We have a mission tomorrow?"
Liao Yifan asked excitedly. This mission is practical for them.
