Ruins, in the dictionary, refer to a place where people lived but are now abandoned.
At the North Pole, with the pole as the center and a radius of several thousand meters, there are hundreds of 'ruins' scattered throughout.
In every market, there are an unknown number of underground people hiding.
Although their technology is advanced, it has long been broken; although their civilization is splendid, it has long been destroyed; although their people live long, they have long lost their humanity.
When human beings leave their hometown, there is a high chance that they will gradually lose their humanity. This was the case with the Neon Army that invaded China.
And these underground people have left their hometown for hundreds of millions of years.
Over hundreds of millions of years, they have completely lost their personality as civilized creatures. Their humanity has long since disappeared, but their wildness is increasing crazily.
Just as Li and Huo Jingyu revealed the world's biggest secret to Huo Yu, the polar region of the Arctic was lifeless due to the advent of polar night.
In the darkness, a huge ball of light suddenly rose slowly from the snow.
The ball of light is getting bigger and bigger, like a sun that is about to become a white dwarf star, burning its last remaining warmth and energy.
The next second, the ball of light suddenly burst, and the sky and the earth were pure white, and finally returned to the silent darkness.
In the darkness, a vague humanoid figure appeared on the snow.
One way, two ways, three ways...
As time went by, more and more figures gathered, and soon hundreds of humanoid figures appeared.
These figures look the same as ordinary humans in appearance. The only difference is that there is a transparent red glowing circle on their temples.
"Chief, Xu's energy has completely disappeared."
A voice sounded, and the language used was actually standard Chinese Mandarin.
The common language of the underground civilization is Chinese, which is not difficult to understand.
Chinese characters are stable, have a long history, and have strong cultural heritage.
The vocabulary of English has exceeded 1 million, and ordinary people cannot memorize it all in a lifetime. The literacy standard for Chinese characters is 1,500 words, and ordinary people can master 3,500 commonly used Chinese characters, which is enough to cope with most scientific research tasks.
And China is the first country to come into contact with underground civilization. Regardless of whether the underground civilization uses language to communicate, it is common sense to master Chinese.
The leader of the underground people was silent for a moment and asked in an extremely ancient and hoarse accent: "What year is this?"
The subordinate pondered for a moment and said: "The end of the calendar, 680 million years."
"Time flies so fast." The leader of the underground people sighed, "The clones we released back then seemed to be living a good life?"
The subordinate closed his eyes, and the red transparent ring at his temple began to rotate crazily, like a computer that was processing information crazily.
Ten seconds later, the subordinate opened his eyes and said disdainfully:
"Barbarians are barbaric, killing each other, destroying the environment, killing various animals, different races, and even the same race. These guys are still in the barbaric age."
"In that case." The leader of the underground people said lightly, "There is no need for them to exist anymore."
The subordinate quickly persuaded: "We still have to wait for the leaders of other 'markets' to discuss it together."
The leader nodded slightly, raised his head and looked towards the south.
"Let's go and take a look at the nearest human gathering place first."
Hundreds of figures rose from the ground at the same time, and were replaced by snowflakes, flying rapidly into the distance on the wind.
And the direction they were going was exactly the direction of the 249 scientific research station.
. . . . . .
"Last century, humans discovered the body of a little girl under the Antarctic ice cap. According to carbon 16 testing, she came from 600 million years ago."
In the office, Huo Jingyu continued to talk to Huo Yu about the underground civilization.
Huo Yu hesitated and said, "I've heard that news, haven't I already refuted it as fake news?"
"That's to avoid panic." Huo Jingyu waved his hand, and a lifelike photo immediately appeared on the big screen behind him.
The photo shows a girl of about thirteen years old. She has a slender figure, thick hair, fair skin, and blue pupils that indicate she appears to be white.
She has a pair of white and soft hands, with an unusual ring on her finger.
The edge of the coffin where she lay was filled with a pink-blue mineral-transparent liquid. There are four spiral needles around the lid, each about 18cm long.
On her knees was a white dress with short sleeves decorated with vibrant flowers.
There is a black rectangular flower decoration on her head. One end of the flower decoration is curved. There is a metal box-like object in the corner of the flower decoration, which looks like a mobile phone.
The most impressive thing is that there are a pair of transparent rings at her temples, which have stopped rotating and exude a gray aura.
"This corpse is still placed in the secret research room at the Ice Keeper headquarters. According to genetic testing, her genetic similarity to humans is over 99%."
Huo Yu asked: "Is she an underground person?"
Huo Jingyu nodded noncommittally, and the big screen behind him changed again: "Coincidentally, the icekeepers once discovered thousands of microorganisms and freshwater resources in deep wells more than 800 meters underground in Antarctica."
"Whether it is the Antarctic or the Arctic, their underground temperatures and environments are not as desolate as we imagined, and they are consistent with the conditions for biological survival."
"For two decades, we have been detecting large-scale biological activity from deep in the Arctic and Antarctic, places where biological activity is not normally expected."
Huo Jingyu waved his hand, and a flat map of the North and South Pole appeared on the big screen, and the areas where life activities occurred were marked in red.
Red almost only exists in two areas, one is the outer area of the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and the other is actually near the North and South Poles.
This is completely abnormal. The closer to the extreme position, the frequency of biological activity should decrease.
"In the past year, the frequency of biological activities we have detected near the pole has reached a historical peak, occurring almost every day."
Huo Jingyu sighed tiredly: "This is also why the headquarters suddenly took action against the Liming Society. We can't wait any longer."
"Before underground civilization launches a massive attack on existing civilization, we need to have a relatively united human community to fight against underground civilization together."
Huo Yu tried to ask: "Can't we negotiate with underground civilization? In a civilized way."
Li asked with a smile: "The canary was put underground by the miners to detect the concentration of gas in the mine. As long as there is a very slight gas leak, the canary will die."
"Do you think the miners will negotiate with the canaries after they are put into the mines?"
