Chapter 330

Alive

Along with the shutter issuing a light sound, this light and shadow picture about to circulate for hundreds of years froze in Chen Ling's hands. Besides Chen Ling, no one knew what this photo meant... also no one could imagine, these nine people on the photo, would become what kind of existences.

"Alright, set out!"

The nine scientific researchers all didn't look at the photo. At this moment in their hearts only had that piece of mysterious meteor fragment. The beauty or ugliness of the photo basically wasn't important.

After Chen Ling handed the camera to a military member, then rapidly followed up on their figures.

Following the Research Team entering the mountains, there was also a Special Operations Squad of thirty-odd people. They were equipped with the most advanced firepower weapons and Communication Devices, protecting the nine people and Chen Ling in the center. Expressions seriously vigilant of the surroundings, all firearms were already loaded.

Chen Ling glanced at the time, distance to the Save Point disconnecting still had three hours.

Along with the crowd's deepening, the bright tent area at the rear gradually disappeared into the pitch-black forest. Whimpering cold wind and fine fragmented rainwater hit on the transparent visors of the protective suits, field of vision was somewhat blurry...

Everyone was all lowering their heads walking. The world was quiet leaving only the respective breathing sounds inside the visors.

Amidst a piece of dead silence, Lu Xun's voice suddenly sounded from within the crowd's visors, "Report numbers according to number sequence."

"1."

"2."

"..."

"10."

Lu Xun's voice fell. The crowd then according to the number sequence of their respective protective suits reported numbers one by one. Chen Ling as the Guide, the number was the last one, which was number "10".

After confirming everyone's signal was normal, Lu Xun again opened his mouth:

"Everyone pay more attention under your feet. Be careful not to step into empty air or trip. Then listen to me say..."

"According to satellite positioning, the position of the meteorite fragment is in the deep parts of the mountain ranges five kilometers away from us. Estimated on foot two and a half hours. But according to the situation of the previous two batches of teams, at most going deep for twenty minutes later, our communication with the outside world very likely then becomes invalid. Whether the intra-team radio can be used is still uncertain."

"Regardless of what happens, all first maintain calmness. At all times pay attention to your own companions in front and behind. Absolutely do not stray from the large unit."

"Detecting various indicators around the fragment although important, still mostly take own safety as the main thing."

Perhaps the atmosphere of wind and rain in the deep mountains was too oppressive. These scholars who all year round immersed in scientific research, at this moment were all somewhat unaccustomed. They were currently with total concentration looking under their own feet. Only Su Zhiwei and another unfamiliar scientist replied received.

Chen Ling's gaze passed through the visor, looking around in all four directions. Within his field of vision he did not see anywhere having abnormalities...

He was also very wondering. The Red Star Fragment after all was only a dead object. Since it was so exactly how did the previous two batches of exploration squads go missing? Even if saying they lost their way in the large mountains, it also wouldn't reach the extent of so long all not coming out?

The crowd just like this advanced forward amidst silence and vigilance. In this process, Chen Ling from time to time would dig out the mobile phone to confirm the time.

This time what he confirmed, wasn't his own disconnection time... but rather this team's lost contact time.

In Dr. Yi's oral narration, ten minutes after the Nine Monarchs' Research Team started exploring, they then broke contact with the outside world. Which is to say at this key node of ten minutes, definitely something happened.

"Director Chen, do you have any urgent matters?"

Lu Xun walking beside Chen Ling seeing the mobile phone screen light up repeatedly, doubtfully asked.

"...No." Chen Ling shook his head, "I only want to confirm, whether signal is broken with the outside world."

Lu Xun was even more doubtful, "In this kind of deep mountains, mobile phones should originally already have no signal right? Director Chen what mobile phone do you have, signal is this good?"

Chen Ling: ...

Chen Ling was just about to continue making things up, suddenly like perceiving something, stopping his footsteps.

Weng——!!

Half a second later, a burst of ear-piercing buzzing sound transmitted from within the crowd's visors. The radio was just like it had come alive generally crazily neighing. That wasn't that kind of "howling" from microphone and speaker touching together. This was a kind of sharp cry having fluctuation and having changes, like the equipment was wailing.

Everyone simultaneously painfully covered their ears, fresh blood seeping out from inside the ears. Chen Ling at the first moment slapped a palm on the visor, cutting off the electricity of the headset. But the other people then didn't have it so good.

This kind of sharp ringing as if could penetrate souls. The crowd was painful to the point they basically couldn't think, even more no way to react over to turn off the headsets. Chen Ling seeing this, without the slightest hesitation flipped off all their visors, smashing them to the ground at the side!

"Open fire!!" Chen Ling shouted loudly towards the people holding guns beside him, "Open fire towards the radios!"

Chen Ling's shouting let several among them recover their senses. Under their heads going muddled, subconsciously pulled the triggers!

Da da da da da——

Tongues of fire spat out in the dark night. Rays of piercingly bright sparks splashed on the ground. Under the strafing not surpassing a few seconds, all radio equipment were completely scrapped. That sound as if piercing through the soul also abruptly stopped.

But even so, the crowd was also already bleeding from the seven orifices... The strange thing was, the nine scientific researchers who ordinarily didn't exercise much, the symptoms instead were the lightest. Among the well-trained special operations squad members, several people had already been shocked to the point of fainting.

"Damn it... what was that just now? Electromagnetic howling??" Lu Xun while wiping away nosebleed, while hoarsely opening his mouth.

"No, absolutely not." Yang Xiao looked at the scrapped Communication Devices on the ground, face incomparably solemn. "Usual howling, is because of the positive feedback of the electrical signal circulating. Reasonably speaking the frequency wouldn't appear large scale fluctuations... The sound just now, absolutely wasn't issued from this principle."

"Then what is it?"

"Don't know. But definitely is a certain extremely special magnetic field... In the deep parts of this piece of forest, there is a powerful and special magnetic field source, continuously without stopping affecting all Communication Devices. Moreover this kind of magnetic field will still change like a living creature, just like... like it's roaring."

Yang Xiao after all was an expert in the aspect of magnetic fields. Even if already shocked to bleeding from the seven orifices, still calmly analyzed the reason for the phenomenon just now.

Chen Ling coldly looked at the Communication Device remnants on the ground. He knew Yang Xiao was right.

Today's Yang Xiao still wasn't the Lord of the Aurora. Towards magnetic fields naturally didn't have perception ability. But one second before the Electromagnetic Roar happened, Chen Ling then obviously noticed a strand of abnormal electromagnetic fluctuation... The most important was, even he who could to a certain degree manipulate electromagnetic induction, also had no way to wipe out this kind of roar.

In the deep parts of this piece of forest, there was a thing, currently continuously emitting a terrifying, living magnetic field!

Wu Tongyuan walking at the very back had already been frightened to a deathly white face. His trembling hand wiped his face once, it was then a full hand of scarlet red. Promptly suppressing a scream:

"It's that meteor fragment!!"

"It definitely is that meteor fragment... It's alive! It's alive!!"
