The whole world was dark and gloomy.
In the illusory dream, one could feel thoughts coming from all directions. The lively thoughts, along with the spirit and soul, were like resonating torches, lighting up the dark night sky.
"What a useless skill."
Fangzheng opened his eyes and yawned helplessly.
After killing Cthulhu, Fangzheng obtained two skills, [Dream Invasion] and [Hyperdimensional Touch]. The latter could make Fangzheng a little more interesting, but the former was useless to Fangzheng. [Dream Invasion], as its name suggested, was the ability to invade other people's dreams. Cthulhu could use this method to invade the minds of mortals without leaving the house, brainwash them, and turn them into his believers. Well, it was quite useful for the yellow octopus that was sealed in R 'yleh and could not go out.
But for Fangzheng … .it was useless!
He was not an evil god, and he did not need to use this method to brainwash his believers.
At first, Fangzheng was thinking of other ways to use it, but after experimenting several times, he could only give up.
Fangzheng really could not find any use for this thing at the moment.
Forget it, forget it, let it be like this.
Fangzheng got up from the bed, washed his face, then pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew against his face, making him feel refreshed. As far as the eye could see, snowflakes fell slowly from the sky, dyeing the whole ground white.
"Ah, Master, you're awake!"
Nimf came to Fangzheng's side with a smile and raised her hand.
"Look, I made a snow rabbit!"
"Mm, very cute, very cute."
Looking at the lifelike snow rabbit in Nimf's hand, Fangzheng smiled and patted the little angel's head. At that moment, another bold and generous voice sounded.
"Hey, Mr. Van Helsing, you're awake!"
Fangzheng looked up and saw a white man in a heavy fur coat shaking the bottle in his hand with a smile and greeting him. Fangzheng nodded back.
"Yes, how are you guys?"
"Hahaha, thanks to you! Everything is going well! "
The white man raised the bottle again and waved it at Fangzheng.
That's right, Fangzheng was currently with Nimf and Ryoko Asakura in the expedition team to the South Pole.
After that, Valentine and Francis started to look for information everywhere. Because they had Fangzheng's financial support (or rather, the Federal Reserve's), their actions were quite effective. Soon, Fangzheng found a piece of information about an American geographical expedition team that was going to the South Pole for investigation. Considering that he had never been to the South Pole in his previous world, Fangzheng contacted Miskatonic University through this information and joined the Antarctic adventure as a sponsor.
By the way, Francis and Valentine were investigating the meteorite crash in New Orleans, so they did not go together. But for Fangzheng … this was not a problem.
After all, they had a crowbar and the brooch that Fangzheng gave them to resist mental influence. There was nothing Fangzheng could do about it, right?
The goal of the expedition team was to go as deep as possible into the heart of the South Pole for geological investigation and research. They had a total of 16 people, either scientific research experts, assistants, or engineers. Only Fangzheng, Nimf, and Ryoko Asakura were the three idlers ….
Of course, at first, the expedition team obviously did not want Fangzheng and the others to join them. In their opinion, these people were just second-generation rich kids who had nothing better to do. They had nothing to do but look for excitement. They might even bring trouble to the expedition team. But thanks to the omnipotent capitalist society, as long as there was money, there was nothing that could not be solved.
Well, that was, of course, if there was money.
"….!"
Just as Fangzheng and Nimfu were playing in the snow, they saw a group of people stride out of a house not far away. They were making a ruckus, but it was unknown what they were talking about.
"What's wrong? What's going on? "
Fangzheng walked up to the white man who was drinking and asked. The white man shook his head.
"It's a disagreement between our commander-in-chief and Professor Lake, sigh …."
"Oh, it's that again."
Fangzheng nodded when he heard the white man's words. Professor Lake was the biology professor in the expedition team. The conflict between him and the commander-in-chief of the expedition team stemmed from a mysterious triangular geological formation they discovered when they were flying over the snowy mountains. Well …. Professor Lake hoped to investigate to the west and conduct a thorough investigation of the mysterious geological formation. The other professor, who was the commander-in-chief, hoped to complete the established goal. After all, this was the South Pole. Although they had a lot of supplies with Fangzheng's funding, they still had to race against time.
After all, supplies were limited, and so was time. If they could not complete the goal of going deep into the heart of the South Pole in the short summer, they would have to wait for death in winter.
Of course, the final result was that Professor Lake took some people to the west to explore, while the commander-in-chief stayed at the camp with the remaining people. After all, this was the South Pole. If something happened, even calling 119 would not help.
It had been several days since Professor Lake led the expedition team. Fangzheng learned from the other people in the camp that Professor Lake seemed to have made some important discoveries, but it had nothing to do with them. Fangzheng was mainly accompanying Nimf to observe Antarctic penguins, seals, and other animals. Compared to fossils, living, furry little cuties were obviously more interesting.
However, just as Fangzheng was considering whether to continue going to the Antarctic penguin nest with Nimf today, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a heavy leather coat, goggles, and a leather hat walking towards them.
"Mr. Van Helsing, I'm very sorry to disturb you."
"Professor Mike, what's the matter?"
Looking at the man in front of him, Fangzheng also looked at him curiously. The man in front of him was the commander-in-chief of the expedition team, Professor Mike, the representative of the Department of Geology at Miskatonic University. He was a calm man. But he was not calm at the moment.
"There's no contact from Professor Lake."
Professor Mike's expression was very serious. The two sides had been in contact through the radio these days, and Fangzheng had also learned most of the process. Yesterday, Professor Lake seemed to have built a camp at the designated location, and yesterday, he also seemed to have made some kind of discovery of the century, which made the whole camp very excited.
But after one night … there was no news from him?
"I've contacted Captain Douglas. They plan to send the last plane over. We're going to gather all the members in the camp and go to Professor Lake. Can …"
"No problem, we'll go together."
Fangzheng nodded.
"Although we don't know anything about scientific research, I think we can still help a little in other aspects."
"That's great."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Professor Mike also showed a relaxed smile. The reason why Fangzheng and the others were able to join the expedition team this time was not only because of Fangzheng's identity as a "sponsor", but also because Fangzheng and Nimf used information modification to give Ryoko Asakura the professional qualification of a "nurse".
After all, in such a large expedition team, no one could be sure that no one would get injured or sick. With professional medical personnel by their side, they would naturally feel more at ease.
Since there was no response from Professor Lake, it was possible that a geological disaster such as an avalanche had suddenly occurred, or something else might have happened. In short, it was very likely that someone was injured, so it would obviously be better if there were professional medical personnel by their side.
Of course, Fangzheng did not mind. Why would he come to Antarctica if there was a good show to watch?
He had almost had enough of hunting seals.
Climbing more mountains was also good for his physical and mental health.
After obtaining the consent of all the members, they quickly completed the loading of the supplies. After a short rest, they immediately set off for Professor Lake's camp.
During the four-and-a-half-hour flight, everyone seemed very uneasy. They sent radio calls to the camp again and again, but they did not receive any response. Instead, this aroused people's deep fear — after all, this was Antarctica. Logically speaking, other than sudden geological disasters and weather, there should not be such a devastating impact on such a well-equipped expedition team. Of course, so far, the others were still inclined to think that Professor Lake's radio transmission device might have some problems or damage, and that he was waiting for their rescue.
Finally, the plane found the camp built by Professor Lake on the hills between the mountains, then landed on a flat ground not far away.
"Quick, let's go see what happened!"
As soon as the plane's hatch opened, the others could not wait to leave the plane. Fangzheng also left with Nimf and Ryoko, then followed the crowd to the scientific research camp not far away.
Right now, the scientific research camp was already in a mess.
The surrounding fences used to prevent the wind were completely knocked down, and the tents were torn apart. Not only that, but what was even more conspicuous was the bright residue on the white snow that looked like a mixture of flesh and blood.
Everyone in the entire camp, including the animals, had become fragmented corpses.
"Oh my God …"
Seeing this scene, many people did not come back to their senses for a long time. Fangzheng frowned. He narrowed his eyes, glanced around, and then cast his gaze on a few raised mounds not far away.
It looks like we are in trouble again.
