Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 551 The Situation Inside the Ice Wall

Amidst the snow and ice, several houses are being built on the Arctic base.

Most of these houses were made of sheet metal, so the temperature inside was probably not low, and there was no ice around them.

Moreover, the base is not small, but it is currently closed.

Z and the second brother wore sunglasses and masks, making them completely unrecognizable from the outside.

“Actually, Yi Shuihan isn’t too stupid. They’ve been exploring the depths of the Arctic Ice Wall all along. However, with their capabilities, they probably won’t even be able to reach the area I went into a second time!” Z said.

Ye Qing glanced at him but didn't say anything. The group arrived outside the base, where a person wearing a thick cotton coat was squatting down sweeping snow.

Hearing the commotion from Ye Qing's side, the man turned around and looked at Ye Qing with a puzzled expression.

His expression turned somewhat strange after he saw Han Xiao and Yu Duo pushing two bizarrely large boxes.

"It's Ye Qing, right?" Just then, he asked, his voice carrying a sense of vicissitude.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Hello! That's me!"

He glanced at Ye Qing, then put down the tools in his hand, went to the door, and pushed the door open.

A wave of heat instantly swept in from behind the room door.

"Come in quickly," he said as he entered the room.

Ye Qing and the others went inside and closed the door. A wave of heat hit them; the temperature inside was quite high.

The man took off his coat and hat, revealing a somewhat weathered face, and extended his hand to Ye Qing, saying, "Hello, my name is Wang Yang!"

"Hello, Uncle Wang Yang!" Ye Qing took off his sunglasses and hat, and extended his hand, saying, "This is my wife, Lin Qianyu, and these four are my friends."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "Please feel free to look around. I'll go get you some food."

Ye Qing did not refuse.

He looked around; the entire base seemed to be interconnected, with rooms divided into rows and rows.

After Ye Qing looked around, Wang Yang brought over some dried fish and other things, placed them on the table, and then asked, "Would you like some wine or water?"

At this point, he said, "I'm sorry, we don't have that many supplies here. They only send us supplies once every six months. We haven't been very hospitable!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Water, please!"

Wang Yang nodded, poured everyone a glass of water, and then walked to a chair next to him and sat down.

Ye Qing asked curiously, "Are you the only one here?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "There are members from three teams living here. However, we are also living here to explore this ice wall. They recently went deep into the ice wall, and judging by the time, they should be back in a few days!"

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Sima Kong called me earlier and said that you came to find out about your parents' situation back then, right?"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Yes! I wonder how much you know, senior?"

Wang Yang took a deep breath and said, "I don't know much, actually. About eight years ago, your father Ye Tianyang and your mother Zhuo Rou brought an elite team from the Tianluodiwang (Heavenly Net) here to reorganize for a period of time."

"Then they seemed to have a blueprint in their hands, and with the help of the blueprint, they ventured deep into the ice wall several times! The last time was about three months after they landed here, and then they set off again and never came back!" Wang Yang said, seemingly lost in memories. "However, I do remember that about half a month after their last departure, the entire Antarctic ice wall seemed to shake, but it was very slight here. As for what happened deep inside, we don't know!"

At this moment, Z spoke up: "Vibration? Did you see anything take off or anything like that?"

Wang Yang shook his head!

Ye Qing gave Z a strange look, then continued, "If we want to go deeper into this ice wall, what should we be careful about?"

Wang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "The maximum distance we can explore now is about 30 kilometers from here. If we go any further in, the cold will increase dramatically. This kind of cold can even freeze blood and true energy!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "Even true qi can be frozen?"

"Yes, that's the feeling I get. There's not much danger within these 30 kilometers. It's just that the surroundings all look pretty much the same, making it easy to get lost. By the way, compasses and the like can't be used on this ice wall. There seems to be a strange magnetic field here," Wang Yang said.

Ye Qing nodded!

Hearing their words, Ye Qing glanced at Z!

In fact, apart from the news about his parents, Z had told all the other news that Wang Yang mentioned, and in much more detail than Wang Yang had!

"That's about enough!" Z said. "We should get going!"

Wang Yang's expression shifted slightly as he said, "So you're in such a hurry? Have a meal before you go."

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I need to hurry up and go deeper before going back. Something big might happen outside during this time."

"Ah!" Wang Yang's expression changed and he said, "Then I won't keep you any longer. I'll take you to get the supplies!"

"No need!" Z said. "We're all ready!"

"Okay, then I hope everything goes well for you," Wang Yang said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Then we'll take our leave now!"

Wang Yang opened the door, Ye Qing put on sunglasses and a mask, and the group left the base.

"Remember to leave a mark, otherwise if you get lost, you might never find your way back!" Wang Yang reminded him again.

After watching Ye Qing and the others walk away, Wang Yang frowned deeply as he looked at their receding figures, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long while, he walked to the side, picked up his tools, and continued shoveling snow until Ye Qing and the others disappeared from sight!

Wang Yang then arrived at the base and tapped lightly on a certain floorboard.

Before long, one figure after another emerged from beneath the floor.

"Did they leave?" someone asked.

Wang Yang nodded.
