Driven by curiosity, Charlie heads back to the Nordic research station as fuel is delivered to the Japanese station. Wu Bolin, satisfied with his Antarctic operation, inquires about exploration progress with Kohei Kikuchi, who reveals the helicopter’s dwindling aviation kerosene supply, hindering swift searches due to reliance on limited fuel transport from China.

Chapter 7449
Driven by curiosity about the underground city in Antarctica, Charlie begins his journey back to the Nordic research station.
By that time, the vehicles transporting the fuel had poured all the fuel they were carrying into storage tanks at the Japanese research station.
Wu Bolin rarely had the urge to leave his Wu Han Palace. Standing in the central plaza, he looked around and sighed with a satisfied expression on his face. “Having such a modern team is truly useful in a barren place like Antarctica. It’s a shame we’re still short on personnel. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of members of the Warriors’ Den Society, this number is indeed quite small.”
At the time, Kohei Kikuchi was supervising the fuel delivery. After checking the remaining fuel, he instructed the person in charge of the transport in Japanese to pay attention to the fuel safety warning line. Once the fuel level approached the warning line, regardless of the weather, they were to immediately depart for the research vessel.
Wu Bolin looked at him from afar, then smiled and waved to him: “Hey, lackey, come here.”
Kohei Kikuchi hurriedly ran up to him and asked respectfully, “What are your orders, Master?”
Wu Bolin asked him, “How is the current progress of the exploration?”
Kohei Kikuchi quickly replied, “Reporting to Masato, the three ground exploration teams are still advancing, but as you know, radar coverage is limited. We are currently advancing in three directions at two 70-degree angles.”
“The further they travel, the larger the area they need to cover, and the slower their movement speed. It’s nearly impossible to scan the entire Antarctic region in a short time.”
After saying that, he quickly added, “By the way, sir, our helicopter is running low on fuel. It can only operate for two more days before it has to be grounded. So I was wondering if you should ground the helicopter and save its fuel for emergencies.”
Wu Bolin frowned and asked him, “Don’t you transport a lot of fuel every day? Why does the helicopter run out of fuel?”
Kohei Kikuchi explains, “Yes, helicopters use specially processed aviation kerosene, which is different from the diesel fuel used in our generators, heating equipment, and ground vehicles.”
“Research vessels have large diesel fuel reserves, as they also rely on diesel for power, but helicopters have relatively small reserves. Furthermore, we’ve been flying non-stop lately, so fuel consumption is indeed too high.”
Wu Bolin was a little annoyed and said with a threatening expression, “If the helicopter stops, the search speed will slow down. Don’t you have any other choice?”
