At this moment, Huo Yu didn't know that his teacher was reprimanding the icekeeper bosses for worrying about him. He was telling the audience in front of the camera:

"Everyone, please pay attention. Brothers and sisters who are afraid of heights, please close your eyes temporarily. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the next scene."

People with mild fear of heights will panic only when they stand at high places, while people with severe fear of heights will panic whenever they see pictures from a high altitude.

As an icekeeper and anchor, Huo Yu pays great attention to these details. After all, the audience is the source of his strength, and it is his own loss to scare a few people.

All in all, the Huo fish is very thin...

As the little black ball rose into the sky, Huo Yu's eyes also saw a bird's-eye view of the nearby terrain.

Huo Yu came to the North Pole by boat, so he had never admired the scenery of the North Pole from the air.

The color composition of the Arctic is very monotonous, with only three types: white, blue, and black.

The white ones are glaciers and snowfields, the black ones are permafrost and mountains, and the blue ones are the endless sea.

The ultra-high-definition footage of the small black ball vividly records a fragmented area of ​​blues and whites, while black permafrost fills the cracks and crevices between blue and white.

It's like a short dynamic puzzle that becomes more complex as the little black ball rises faster and faster.

As the height increases, the splitting of the color blocks becomes more obvious. Although the brush of nature is stingy with the types of colors, it is not stingy with the beautiful ink.

The monotonous colors can easily dazzle people. Fortunately, Huo Yu has excellent eyesight and can quickly spot the strangeness of this area.

The black permafrost is spread like a spider web on the pure white snow shelf, and the huge snow blocks collapse in pieces, giving people a messy and uncomfortable feeling.

Permafrost and glaciers are the main body of this land. Once they collapse, everything will lose its sense of coordination.

At this moment, Huo Yu's pair of eagle eyes suddenly caught something different.

That's right, it's just a point, because from this perspective, the abnormal thing can only be described with the quantifier 'point'.

He quickly controlled the camera on the small black ball to zoom in on the area where the point was.

The next moment, Huo Yu saw the target clearly and couldn't help but suck in the cool air of the Arctic.

That point is not one thing, but a group of things.

It's not treasure or ore, it's a corpse.

In a cracked layer of frozen soil, a group of gray-brown wolf carcasses were exposed in front of Huo Yu.

These wolf corpses have ferocious faces, messy hair, and cloudy eyes staring blankly at the camera. They look extremely weird and horrifying.

Most importantly, they don’t look like the carcasses of arctic wolves, nor do they look like freshly dead carcasses.

This seems to be the carcasses of a group of ancient wolves, which were exposed due to the melting and cracking of the permafrost.

Huo Yu's heart trembled slightly.

In recent years, as the permafrost has gradually thawed, the remains of many prehistoric creatures have been unearthed by icekeepers.

Icekeepers have previously unearthed the remains of wolf pups about 57,000 years ago, the horned lark about 46,000 years ago, and the woolly rhinos about 20,000 to 50,000 years ago in the permafrost.

The discovery of these ancient corpses has greatly helped archaeological research, but it has also worried the top management of the Ice Keepers, because not only are these animal remains hidden under the permafrost, but there are also even more terrifying things hidden under it.

In his previous life, before Huo Yu could travel through time, he saw this news:

A French virus research team discovered the world's third super-large virus after examining the melting permafrost in Siberia.

This virus has been frozen in the permafrost for more than 30,000 years. However, in recent years, as global warming has intensified, a large amount of permafrost has melted, causing this ancient virus to come back to life again.

Coincidentally, the Spanish Flu, which infected about 500 million people in Europe 100 years ago, has disappeared from human society for more than 100 years.

However, in modern times, infectious disease experts actually found the virus on the remains of an ancient flu patient in the Alaskan permafrost.

This means that the virus has not disappeared from the earth, but is just lurking in the permafrost.

This means that both viruses and bacteria can survive in extreme environments for a long time until they encounter the next suitable environment and then revive.

Under normal circumstances, although there are various viruses in the permafrost, these viruses will not be spread because the soil is frozen.

However, as temperatures have warmed in recent years, some permafrost has begun to thaw, and the virus has gathered into rivers along with the thawed water flow. At this time, the virus may infect organisms.

The vicious events that happened in the previous life also happened in this world.

The ancient history of this world is slightly different from the previous life, but the overall trend is still similar, but the modern history is very different.

Many celebrities are not world-famous, and many popular quotes and songs from previous lives have never been published, so Huo Yu takes advantage.

With such a large number of corpses of ancient creatures exposed, it is very likely that these corpses contain some ancient viruses that humans have never encountered before. A little careless handling can cause a catastrophe!

Seeing this scene, Wu Song in the conference room sat upright.

"The situation is not right. This is no longer an incident that an intermediate ice guard can handle." Wu Song said with a solemn expression.

"The Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Biology, and the Ministry of Transportation will immediately form a response team to go to the location in the video to dispose of these corpses." Wu Song's eyes swept over, "If you have any difficulties, mention them now, and we will start work as soon as we get to the place. "

An old Chinese man quickly said: "Commander-in-Chief, the glaciers everywhere have been melting recently. We no longer have enough helicopters. Only the headquarters has two or three available."

"If the response team is mobilized from various scientific research stations by snowmobile, and then the response team is sent to the target location by snowmobile, it will take at least two or three days."

This old man is the transportation minister of the Ice Keepers, and is in charge of all transportation rights of the Ice Keepers organization, including strategic-level base vehicles.

Even though he is just a car manager, he has quite a lot of power.

You must know that in ancient times, the person who managed the world's horse affairs on behalf of the emperor was a first-rate official named Taipu.

"Then use the helicopter from the headquarters."

The old man looked embarrassed: "But the helicopters in the headquarters are used to deal with high-risk emergencies. This..."

"It's an emergency now!" Wu Song said in a tough tone, "The ancient virus spreads to the ecosystem, and the entire Arctic will suffer. Once it spreads to the ocean, the entire Blue Star will suffer!"

The old man quickly replied: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away."
