48 Hours a Day

"Mr. Thame didn't make any movement while standing there, but when the monster appeared, a retired soldier ran into his tent and took out the large rectangular box he had been carrying. The box exceeded It was two meters long and was previously placed with a set of drilling equipment. No one knew what was inside.

"It wasn't until this night that Mr. Thame opened the box and revealed the answer. In that box was a sickle. The shape was exaggerated and the handle was extremely long. It matched Mr. Thame’s somewhat blessed figure. It looked funny. After he took out the sickle, he murmured, let's see. Who made this thing belong to me in modern times. After finishing talking, I didn't see how he swung the sickle, I saw the ugly one. Suddenly the body of the monster split in two, splitting in the middle, like a piece of butter slashed by a hot knife.

"Mr. Tam took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the red blood-like thing on the sickle, then raised his eyebrows, and said, since it's here, don't hide away and watch the excitement. I I noticed that two figures flashed away on a small iceberg not far after he said this. I don’t know if my eyesight was dazzled, because the two figures looked like two walking. Like a big octopus.

"Mr. Tam's body still didn't move, but I noticed that in addition to his sickle, there was some dark green liquid on his clothes this time, and during this time my eyes did not leave him at all. The ghost knows those How did the dark green liquid appear there?

"He sighed and murmured again. I usually don't like fighting in front of other people's homes. That's why I endure it until now. You have to force me. Why is this? Fortunately the speed of my hands. Fast enough, I shouldn’t be felt by the guy below. When he finished speaking, he took the sickle back into the box and changed back to the smiley look before. He turned his head and happily announced to us that the danger has been eliminated. No need to worry about being attacked in the future.

"After that, without waiting for us to answer, four retired soldiers were asked to lift the body of the monster on the ground, pour fuel on it, and ignite the fire. When they burned the thing, I saw two more. The soldier carried the fuel and walked towards the iceberg, and soon a plume of smoke rose up there.

"Who wants to have some grilled octopus whiskers tonight? Okay, I'm just kidding. I can see that Mr. Thame is in a good mood, and he is thinking of telling silly jokes of unknown meaning. In fact, the scene just now has already caught us The vast majority of people were frightened and have not reacted until now, especially biologists. The dead monster probably evoked some bad memories of him, and directly scared him to pee his pants. .

"But no one in the camp laughed at him, because we are all in the same mood, of course, with the exception of the Chinese couple, I see them looking at Mr. Thame becomes a bit strange, as if looking at something rare. Like the species, I think their interest in Mr. Thame has even overwhelmed the monster, and they exchanged opinions in a low voice. Once again, I am annoyed that I have not studied Chinese before.

"So I can only beg the doctor to go to them to inquire about the news, but this time they haven't revealed any useful information. But as Mr. Thame said, the monster and the things hiding in the dark are dead. No one came to hinder us anymore, and because there was no need to worry about it, the efficiency of the search work was also improved, and we finally discovered the entrance to the suspected ancient ruins two weeks later.

"It's just under an iceberg. We drilled there for ten days before we found it. At that time, I couldn't believe my eyes because we hadn't been able to find it for so long. The geologist was also lost. I suspected that we might never find it again, and speaking of it, we were able to find it thanks to Mr. Thame, who pointed the way for the expedition.

"Just after the last attack, I suspect that Mr. Thame discovered something from those two things hiding in the dark, because before that we all ran around like headless flies, trying our luck, and After that day, he firmly told us to go here. Even when we suspected that we were going in the wrong direction when encountering an iceberg, he simply told us to prepare tools and equipment to break the ice."

"We used a lot of explosives to blast, and one of the retired soldiers seemed to be an expert in blasting. Every time we started digging after he finished the blast. In ten days, we dug down about two hundred meters. Finally, through the ice, I vaguely saw a strange city below.

"That city has huge stone pillars and twisted buildings. The structure of the buildings in it is often very inconsistent with Euclidean geometry. Both the spatial structure and the size of the building give people a strong sense of discomfort. The first glance makes people feel restless and nauseous, and what makes us more disturbed is that the scene below is very similar to what we saw in dreams before.

"After seeing that city under ice, Mr. Thame forbids us to use any explosives to blast. Everyone can only dig a little bit with ice axe. Although there is still a considerable distance from that city, even Taim Mr. Mu also joined in, so no one else had anything to say. I could feel the excitement and urgency in his eyes, as if he was afraid of disturbing something below.

"We dug for another full week afterwards, and both my hands grind out blisters, and finally excavated an ice path for one person to pass, until the top of the stone pillar, the magical thing is that I didn't see it. Any building that resembles a dome, but it seems that something separates the city from the ice above, and there is no more ice block under the stone pillar.

"I even saw moss on the pillars, but everything here looks extremely silent and full of damp and dark atmosphere. Mr. Thame looked at the people around him, then turned his eyes on me and Baker. The doctor, along with the Chinese couple and the climatologist, then asked, "Who would like to go down for me?"

"When he saw that we did not speak, he explained that I want to go down by myself, but for some reason, I can't do this, and the same is true of my subordinates, so I hope you can have enthusiastic volunteers. , Take this trip for us, go down to sample things, and I will thank you again afterwards."
