48 Hours a Day

"Since seeing the shadow on the tent, Baker and I have become nervous. We don’t know what kind of monster it is, where it comes from, and what it will do to us. I have been talking to those Inuit. When people hunt together, they also have the illusion that they know enough about this ice sheet, but the Shaman of the Inuit always says to be in awe of nature, because you don’t know how much is buried in this space. Secret, I used to disagree with this sentence, but only after that night did I know how shallow my previous knowledge was."

"If it weren't for this expedition, I would never have known that such a terrifying creature still exists in this world, and the most important thing is that I don't know how to deal with it. Its tentacles move quickly. There is a dead end, but the long-range attack bullet does not seem to cause much damage to it, and there is snowstorm as cover. It is almost as if it has no weaknesses. Every time we come, we can only gamble on luck, but luck cannot always take care of us. , We don’t know who will be the victim when it comes again next time.

"It's not just us, I can feel a little panic on the scientist's side. Both geologists and meteorologists have visited Mr. Thame, hoping to immediately terminate this expedition and return to Nuuk, just like me. Their request was also rejected. On the contrary, the couple of theologians seemed the most peaceful. No, it may not be accurate to describe them by the word calm. I don't know if it is my illusion. The woman's look is actually somewhat Excited, she and her man have been talking about something, but they are using Chinese, except for the two of them in the expedition team, no one knows what they are talking about.

"Although I don't understand what they are talking about, my instinct tells me that they are probably the few people in the expedition who really know what happened. Especially considering their identities, what happened before us has obviously exceeded In the scope of scientific explanation, perhaps the only way to find the answer is from theology.

"My English can only carry out some simple communication, and I have not yet reached the level of being able to communicate fluently with people, so I asked Dr. Baker to contact them, hoping to get some information from them, and I do not expect to be able to get from them. To find a way to deal with that monster, at least you have to die, but what I didn't expect was that the doctor came back to me in the evening.

"It was an inconspicuous oval-shaped pebble with a five-pointed star carved on it, and in the center of the five-pointed star was a somewhat mysterious eye. The doctor said that this thing is called an old seal, and it has a strand on it. Mysterious power may be able to protect us from that monster.

"To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, because I didn't know how an ordinary pebble could contend with that terrible monster, but considering our situation at the time, it was like someone who was about to drown. We need to stay fast. Grabbing all the things that can be grasped at hand, and strangely speaking, I don't know if it was my illusion. When I fell asleep clutching that little stone at night, I didn't have nightmares anymore.

"Although I was awakened by the dream of the doctor next to me in the middle of the night, he told me the next morning that he had another terrible dream. He dreamed of a huge city with many giant stone pillars. Walls of hieroglyphs and green ubiquitous sticky matter flooded the city.

"After waking up, the doctor seemed a little bit distracted. Seeing that his mental condition was not very good, Mr. Thame ran to comfort him and let him rest in the camp for a day, but the others still went out to search as before, except for those There was no change in expression, only the soldiers who carried out the orders, and the rest were a little worried. Only the couple of Chinese theologians were still full of interest.

"Because of the stone matter, I applied to be with them. This would make me feel a little safer, but Mr. Thame was not unexpectedly rejected. He said that I was the guide in the team and the most familiar with this ice field. People should take more responsibilities, so I can only continue with two retired soldiers. After that, we restricted the search area to the area where fossils were found, and also used drills and explosives to break through the ice.

"But we didn’t gain anything for the next week. I told the doctor that the stone could prevent nightmares, and then we used it in turns to ensure that we could sleep well one night out of two days and our spirits It got better, until a week later, we lost a team.

"That was a team led by a geologist. Besides him, there were three retired soldiers, but in the end only one person escaped from the terrible wind and snow. Everyone was silent during dinner, because many people were aware If this continues, it may not be long before the entire expedition is wiped out."

"It turned out that when everyone was depressed, the monster appeared again, and this time it didn't call the blizzard to cover itself, so it rushed towards us, and it was the first time I saw its appearance. I was completely frightened. Although I heard the doctor describe its appearance before and saw its shadow on the tent, when I saw its body, I still felt that there was nothing like this in the world. More terrifying creatures.

"Even the demons from hell described in the Bible are not as ugly and disgusting as they are. I was so scared that I stood there completely, feeling that a little finger could not move, especially when I found that its target was mine. At that time, the whole person was frightened. Fortunately, the doctor next to me responded quickly and took out the small stone from his pocket. Today it was his turn to bring the thing, and he put the small stone on my body. Before, the next moment a miracle happened, and the ugly monster stopped and then rushed towards the Chinese couple.

"As a result, they both took out a necklace and a ring without a hassle. One had the same pattern as the stone, and the other was carved with a bunch of tree-like objects, and the monster was in there. After seeing it, he turned around again and rushed to a retired soldier next to him. The latter shot at it, but like before, the bullet did not do much to it. The monster caught him and used his tentacles cruelly Pierced his heart.

"After that, the monster started looking for a new target. It set its sights on Mr. Thame. At that moment, I felt it recognized that Mr. Thame was our head, so it adjusted its combat strategy and decided Kill Mr. Thame first."
