Chapter 246: Ice Age

Real World 8:00pm, Heresy Authority.

The uniformed team members methodically carried a 40cm*40cm box onto the transportation truck, while Su Yang stood guard with her gun, not daring to disperse her energy.

They're going to put these Extra Red Heretics on a plane tonight and transport them to Sector 3 to be tightly guarded.

It was supposed to be a routine and dangerous transportation, but the presence of a particular heretic made it particularly thrilling.

Su Yang moves her eyes to the end of the transportation line.

Several members of the team were carefully carrying several boxes, which were made of darker metal and looked significantly heavier than the others, and were steadily pressed into the hands of the team members, so much so that they couldn't help but bend over.

Su Yang stepped forward to help with a hand and asked, "Sure this batch of body parts we dug out of the land outside the Rose Factory are all together?"

The team member took a moment to catch his breath and replied, "Team Su, we've counted them, they're all here."

Su Yang nodded, not taking it lightly, and instructed, "This batch of corpses is not of the same danger level as the other heretics, and can't be put on the same vehicle and airplane, I applied to the bureau for a separate transfer vehicle, transfer airplane and transfer route for this batch of corpses, not to go with the other heretics."

The team's boxes were carefully placed on the transfer truck, and they turned around and leaned against the side of the truck to catch their breath, looking towards Su Yang who was walking towards the end of the team again : "...... Team Su was so careful this time, and they also applied for a special transfer line for this batch of corpses."

The team member who was also resting next to him answered, "You don't know how powerful this batch of corpse heresy is, the team members who went to the factory to dig up the corpses on that day all went crazy, and now they are still undergoing the mental downgrading training, and I don't know if they can recover from it."

The player staggered and rubbed his hands together, "Is ...... that scary?"

The team member next to him rolled his eyes, "Otherwise, why do you think Team Su is separating this corpse? Put it together with other heretics, in case this thing has some kind of additive effect on other heretics, boom, a plane full of people are finished!"

"But it's just not safe to release it alone and escort this heretic's plane, is it?" The team member asked worriedly.

"Of course it's not safe, but at least it doesn't require as many escorts, and in our line of work, how often is it safe?" The team member next to him shook his head mockingly.

"Originally, it was rumored that Captain Su was going to escort the shipment himself, but with Team Tang gone, there couldn't be no one in charge of the third detachment, and the Bureau forcibly held him back."

When it comes to the topic of "Don's gone", both players were quiet in unison.

...... Before Tang Er fight is still in the time, such dangerous things are not their turn.

Tang Er Fight will thunder through everything before danger strikes, taking all the risks alone, and while the Heresy Authority is a precarious place, with Tang Er Fight around, they can always hide from the storm under this protective/umbrella.

But the protection/umbrella has finally left.

The team member grudgingly changed the subject, "I can understand the ...... Soo team requesting a separate transfer vehicle and transfer plane for this heretic, but giving it back to make a separate route?"

It's not like the Heretic Management Bureau hasn't escorted extraordinarily dangerous heretics before, such as the previous Bai Liu, but it's only escorted alone, and this kind of individually planned route is indeed the first time.

"And it's not even on a normal route, I just had a look, the landing point is the Antarctic side, right? This ......" this team member tried to find a suitable adjective, "...... isn't it too much of a big deal? Why transport this heresy to the South Pole?"

After this team member next to him glanced around to make sure no one was looking at them, he moved closer to this team member and lowered his voice, "Team Su applied for it, saying that they can't keep this heresy in the third district for safekeeping, nor can they keep it near zones with resident populations, something will go wrong, the influence of this heresy is too great, and it's easy for people to die."

"In the end, the Bureau reported Team Su's application, and it dragged on until yesterday before coming down for approval, saying that it had contacted the Polar Expedition Station, and ultimately decided to make an ice core of this heretic, sink it under the Antarctic's ice cap for sheltering, and dispatched people from the third district over to the sheltering site to guard the site for 365 days without interruption."

This team member exclaimed, "This can really ......365 be guarded by people for days, and this is the first heresy to have this row."

"Who said it was the first one?" The team member next to him deflated, "Have you forgotten Bai Liu? Our Tang team captain doesn't even work anymore and specializes in guarding."

This team member had a hard time hearing that Team Tang was gone, and forced the topic to circle back again, "Eh, Antarctica is so big, did it say where to seal this heresy?"

The team member next to me wrinkled his brow and recalled for a long time, "...... I didn't hear it either, said it was like, something about Ice Dome A area, the highest point on the Antarctic ice cap, high enough and thick enough to hold down this heresy ......"

11:30 p.m., out to sea port.

Carrying another batch of heretics straight to the airport, while the heretic transporter with the body parts made its way to the port of departure and split onto a small freighter.

The freighter was to be transshipped first to another port where a special plane was waiting to escort the heretics to the South Pole.

There were five escorts - the minimum number Su Yang had weighed.

Watching the box being wrapped and consigned to the freighter, the gangway stowed on the ship, the sturdy little freighter entering the water under the tug's tow, and drifting away from the harbor under the cover of night, the five escorts standing on the hatch cover saluted Su Yang standing on the shore and waved them away.

Su Yang watched in awe as the five team members left her sight and waved her hand, the uneasiness in her heart thickening as the watery fog intensified.

The moment the ship disappeared from his view, Su Yang was so panicked he could barely breathe.

It was as if he saw before his eyes the snow-covered bodies of the five members of the team that he had just seen.

In the aftermath of the rose perfume and the exhumation of the bodies at the factory, Su Yang herself shows signs of a certain mental descent, seeing hallucinations from time to time.

Because Su Yang has been through this himself, he understands better than anyone the danger of those body parts.

The moment he first saw the body parts, Su Yang, who has always been a firm and calm person, had an unprecedentedly high level of mixed desires in his heart, and if he hadn't been able to hold on to his senses and collect the body parts, the other members of the team who dug out the body parts would have probably been in a fight over the body parts.

--These body parts can catalyze people's spiritual downgrading, or use spiritual downgrading to describe this process is not too apt, to be more precise, these body parts can catalyze people's negative desires unlimitedly amplified, amplified to the point of destroying the bottom line of human nature.

Upon realizing this, Su Yang pushes hard for a change in the conservative location of the body parts - this thing should never be placed in a crowd garrison, something terrible, even worse than rose perfume, is bound to happen.

In the end, the body parts were weighed and negotiated, and it was decided that they would be placed at the bottom of Ice Dome A - the coldest part of Antarctica, known as the Inaccessible Pole, at an altitude of 4,083 meters above sea level, where no human footsteps have ever been set foot.

--It's the safest place Su Yang can think of.

But he also knows ......

Su Yang's light-colored eyes reflected the waves bobbing on the surface of the sea, and a heavy weight of emotion squeezed his chest, stacking layer upon layer from the tides as they lapped at the harbor and piled on top of each other in his heart, and he closed his eyes, feeling a wave of powerlessness for the first time in a long time.

...... He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no promised land in this world that could escape man s desires.

He just hoped that no more innocent people would die in the process.

But how is that possible?

Human desires, good or bad, are such hurtful things when taken to extremes.

After Tang Er beat him away, Su Yang understood a little of what Bai Liu had said to him that day in the interrogation room.

This young man with a crisp and clean appearance raised his head and gazed at him with those black eyes that seemed to bear all things in the universe, and said softly, Team Su, being too close and protective will kill people.

Su Yang grips the solid octopus-shaped team logo on his right breast and, with what appears to be a sigh, turns away in the icy night air.

Behind them, the small freighter let out the clear whistle of setting sail, and headed off into the deeper, unseen night.

--------

Game Pool.

Bai Liu and the others squatted with Spades' group for a few times, and finally figured out a little bit of the group's operating pattern - generally speaking, they would form a regular group to brush a certain copy.

Occasionally, however, Spades will break away from the group and go off on his own to paint a copy of the ice field - just like the last time Bai Liu entered the game pool.

He seemed to harbor some special affection for this copy of the Icefields, like a human being who is attached to his dwelling and bed and returns to this copy to stop in a biological rhythm.

--It's as if Spades has made this copy of the ice field his home.

And Bai Liu's goal is this copy of the ice field.

He wasn't so unassuming as to think that the Wandering Circus could single-handedly take on the entire Slayer Sequence Warriors right off the bat.

But in the absence of life-threatening situations, Bai Liu felt that they were perfectly capable of trying a group to single out one of the star players.

It's a thing that does more good than harm.

You can get intel on this star player, polish your team, and make enough buzz off of that if you get lucky and actually win against one of the star players.

Shameless, but useful.

Out of some kind of strange inquisitiveness, Bai Liu decided to test the waters with Spades first, staring firmly at the players moving in and out of the pool, and couldn't help but quirk the corner of his mouth when he saw a certain person who had scared off a circle of players around him quietly appearing.

Spades walks over to the play pool holding the whip that organizes the gauge.

After the surrounding players realized it was him, they held their breath and backed away, not even daring to enter the game for fear of unfortunately picking the same game as this Furious God.

But Spades doesn't seem to be paying much attention to his surroundings, and after a few moments of quiet observation of the fast-spinning posters in the game pool, he simply picks one of them and leaps in.

At that moment, Bai Liu didn't hesitate to whip Spades around the waist, pulling a long line of players behind him into the game.

Spades gave him a slight glance back, a glance that was neither rippling nor rippling, as cool as the water under the ice that was soon swallowed up by the game pool.

Waiting for the game pool to calm down, next to a circle of players were just that dragged the family to send a scene of death, a long time do not dare to go up into the front game pool.

There was a long interval before someone asked in a hard voice, "What the hell is ...... doing here?"

--------

Ice and snow covered the sky and the wind howled.

Bai Liu chokes and coughs his way to consciousness, subconsciously curling up from the overly cold temperatures, freezing to the point where his epidermis is numb to the point of unconsciousness in a matter of minutes.

It wasn't until a voice came from behind her that Bai Liu realized she wasn't on the ground, but in someone's arms.

"You shouldn't have gotten into this game with me." Spades wrapped his arms around Bai Liu, who had fallen on top of him, and the shivering of Bai Liu's skin under his palms made him conclude flatly, "You're afraid of the cold."

Bai Liu, now turn around.

Spades is so close to him, Bai Liu can turn his head and touch the tip of the man's nose.

This caused Bai Liu's breath to stop for a moment, then subconsciously pulled away.

Spades doesn't see any problem with such close proximity, he stands up naturally and picks up Bai Liu, who has fallen on top of him, and skillfully takes his jumper off the wall and zippers it up, handing Bai Liu another one.

When he's fully armed, Spades opens the door and walks out.

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and took the punching bag, "Aren't you going to ask me why I followed you in?"

He had prepared quite a few reasons to deal with the other side, such as rubbing off on the first star team member or something like that.

Spades pushed open the door to his room and turned back in the powerful wind and snow that came in his face, the wind blew the broken hair on his forehead wildly, but the eyes underneath his hair were the same pure black as Bai Liu's, devoid of emotion.

"Didn't you come in here with me to play a game with me and beat me?"

Bai Liu for a meal.

Spades pulls his goggles down and steps out of the room, his voice strangely audible in the blizzard:

"Don't lie to me or yourself for any other reason, want to play games with me, then play them well and then do your best to beat me, Bai Liu."
