Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7445
Charlie had been on a research vessel and knew that while it looked like a ship, the design redundancy of its various systems was probably greater than that of two ships combined.
It would be somewhat illogical for a ship like this to suddenly experience damage.
Furthermore, the fact that the Japanese research team had begun using helicopters without informing their superiors and had even turned off their GPS made him uneasy. He sensed that these people weren’t trapped here, but rather deliberately wanted to stay for some purpose.
However, this motif is quite strange.
They were all members of a research team. If they truly had an Antarctic research project, they should have been responsible for the newly arrived team members. Furthermore, once the project was decided, they would have made all sorts of preparations before departure, including personnel, materials, and equipment.
In this case, the members of the research team who had spent the entire summer here and were supposed to return to Japan, as well as the crew members of the research vessel, did not need to intentionally stay in Antarctica.
Moreover, they not only stayed, but also started their own little plan in Antarctica. What was their goal?
Aren’t they afraid of being held accountable by the Chinese authorities?
What’s even more surprising is that flying a helicopter in Antarctica during this season is extremely dangerous. They were all members of a scientific research team, not soldiers following orders. Why would they take such a risk to do something in Antarctica that the authorities didn’t know about?
This is even more absurd.
At first, Charlie could have ignored these things, but with members of the Japanese research team flying back and forth in helicopters, and even starting to fly overhead, he felt uneasy if he didn’t find out what they were up to.
Therefore, Charlie decided to first go to their stranded research ship to see if there was anything unusual, or better yet, find someone in person to ask and find out what they were up to.
Most importantly, we must ensure that their activities avoid the vicinity of the Nordic research station. Otherwise, if the Buddha’s handprint appears in the sky again and is discovered and disseminated, it will be a serious problem.
Charlie expressed his concerns to Maria Lin, Jeremiah Yun, and Song Ruyu. They all felt that the Japanese expedition team was indeed acting strangely, and since Charlie’s current cultivation relied on the changes in the aurora, the Japanese expedition team flying around there was definitely a hidden danger.
Then Maria Lin asked him, “Young Master, you asked Miss Ito for the coordinates of the research ship. Aren’t you planning to go to their research station first?”
Charlie shook his head and said, “Whatever they’re planning, the research station is their core area. In comparison, the immovable research vessel is clearly on the periphery. I think we should be cautious and start with the research vessel first.”
Maria Lin said thoughtfully, “What you say makes sense, young master. Being cautious is always a good thing.”
Jeremiah Yun then said, “Mr. Wade, let me come with you; this will be of great help to you.”
Charlie politely declined, saying, “Miss Yun, Miss Song, you two should stay here to look after Miss Lin. She has no cultivation, and if she encounters any danger, she may not be able to protect herself. I will go by myself and return in a day.”
Maria Lin said, “Young master, you don’t have to worry about me. I can stay at the research station and not leave even half a step. I don’t think there will be any danger.”
“NO.”
Charlie firmly refused, saying, “The environment here is special. If we really encounter danger, we won’t be able to provide assistance in a short time. I’ll be more at ease if Miss Yun and Miss Song stay behind and take care of everything.”
Seeing Charlie’s firm attitude, Maria Lin nodded slowly and said, “In that case, please be careful, young master.”
Nanako quickly located the coordinates of Charlie’s stranded research vessel. It was approximately 300 kilometers from Charlie’s location. However, because the vessel had washed ashore in late summer, it was now possible to sail across the frozen sea.
Because the frozen sea terrain is relatively flat, snowmobiles can travel slightly faster and can reach their destination within five hours.
However, because snowmobiles are large and noisy, making them easy to spot, Charlie decided to drive to a location 50 kilometers from his target first, then switch to walking from there.
Shortly afterward, he was riding a light snowmobile from a Nordic research station, speeding over the ice until he stopped and turned off his engine fifty kilometers from his destination.
Charlie left his car and gathered invisible spiritual energy beneath his feet. While the spiritual energy wasn’t enough to float, it was enough to form a barrier between his feet and the ice. Then, he silently sped across the snow-covered ground at a speed comparable to that of a snowmobile.
Meanwhile, the Japanese research vessel has been frozen for almost a month.
However, even though the surroundings were extremely cold and the environment seemed extremely harsh, it was actually the most stable time for this ship, because the ship was completely frozen on the ice, like a giant ice structure, and could remain motionless no matter how strong the wind and snow were outside.
With abundant marine diesel reserves, the generator roared continuously, and the heat generated by the internal combustion engine kept the entire cabin warm and comfortable.
At that time, Wu Bolin’s henchman, Matsushita Heikichi, was extremely bored in his captain’s cabin.
When Wu Bolin left, he announced that he would be the new captain of the research vessel. Due to psychological suggestion, all crew members on board, including the previous captain, treated him with great respect.
He was now really enjoying the feeling of being respected, and coupled with the boredom of being cold here every day, he was starting to enjoy life on the ship.
Furthermore, Wu Bolin’s energy was currently focused on urging the expedition team to find the Gate of Ascension. Besides Matsushita Heikichi, who was on guard here, there were no other orders, so Matsushita Heikichi’s days were more relaxed.
The rest of the crew had also grown accustomed to this silence over the past few days. In the freezing weather, they hadn’t posted anyone on watch; everyone remained in their warm quarters, only occasionally turning on the radar.
However, the ship’s radar could not detect human-shaped targets, so no one suspected that someone had approached the research vessel quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Charlie had arrived beneath the Japanese research vessel. Even though the hull was at least ten meters above the ice, he used only his feet to jump from beneath the hull and land lightly on the deck.
Since the ship had no need to sail anymore, and there was no one in the cockpit, Charlie, who found no trace of anyone on deck, immediately used his spiritual energy to search the entire interior of the ship.
After realizing that almost all the crew members were in their respective cabins, he focused his attention on the only person staying in the single cabin.
The man was Matsushita Heikichi, who was sitting in his room with his legs crossed, listening to music.
