Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7469
When the press conference was broadcast live around the world, Charlie didn’t expect the White House to react so quickly, nor did he expect their public relations to be so good.
Although Charlie was a bit disappointed that he didn’t cause much trouble for them, he had achieved his initial plan and goal.
By allowing Japan to discover the problem, the Anti-Qing Society elder’s plans to explore Antarctica were completely ruined. Given the current tense situation in Antarctica, the elder would certainly not dare to take action against any country’s scientific expedition team again.
This meant he lost the support of modern technology and his team.
Whatever he was looking for in Antarctica, it could now be considered over.
Charlie suspected that the elder’s next plan was most likely to find a safe place, hide quietly, and wait until the Antarctic winter was over before trying to infiltrate a commercial travel group to return to the other continent.
This way, Charlie wouldn’t have to worry too much about how much of a threat the other party would pose to him. He could continue searching for the right opportunity to obtain more Great Sun Tathagata’s handprints through the aurora.
However, the aurora borealis, which is usually very common in Antarctica during winter, did not appear for several days in a row.
The absence of the aurora borealis didn’t bother Charlie much, so he focused more on his seclusion, improving his Great Sun Tathagata hand seal skills, and gathering more spiritual energy for himself.
At that time, Wu Bolin, who was tens of meters deep in the ice layer, was in a bad mood.
Although he had planned to seclude himself in Antarctica for the summer, the events of the past few days had completely disturbed his Taoist mind, leaving him extremely anxious.
As he had carefully considered the problems this would bring in the past few days, he realized that just because of a small action he had made, he had drawn the attention of the US military to Antarctica, which meant that the US and Japanese governments must have realized that something was wrong.
Logically, they would do their best to investigate what really happened to the Japanese research team members. However, the fact that they had been psychologically manipulated would only lead the investigation to a dead end.
This is not a good thing, because such a stalemate would appear extremely strange and abnormal in the eyes of the state apparatus. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the psychological defenses of dozens of people to be impenetrable.
Once both governments find this strange, the impact will be far-reaching. They will undoubtedly treat it as an unsolved case and continue digging deeper until they discover the real reason.
Besides worrying about getting burned, what worried Wu Bolin more was whether this matter would reach the ears of the wise ruler if it got bigger.
After causing a stir in Antarctica, how should I answer if a wise ruler questions me?
If I had simply told him that all I was doing in Antarctica was searching for rare and valuable resources there, he would definitely not have believed me.
That means I have to tell him the truth and tell him about the Gate of Ascension.
Regardless of whether the British rulers would reprimand them, what if the British rulers believed this legend and gathered the entire Anti-Qing Society to search for it in Antarctica? Then we could say we had missed a golden opportunity.
According to Wu Bolin’s own plan, if he could secretly find the Gate of Ascension and obtain more resources and cultivation techniques, his cultivation level would definitely increase, and he might even be able to obtain the resources of the Everlasting Green Pill like the Heroic Sovereign.
The wise ruler only has less than a hundred years left to live. If I can live to be five hundred, then the Qing Dynasty will most likely be mine after the wise ruler’s death.
Having followed Victoria for so many years, he knew all too well how powerful and vast the Warriors’ Den Society was. Leading this organization was practically akin to being a king without a crown.
But if Victoria takes this opportunity, she will miss her chance completely.
After all, this was only a relatively good idea. Wu Bolin knew Victoria’s personality and style very well. If he truly found out that Victoria was hiding something major from him, he would definitely lose all trust in her, and Victoria’s future position in the Breaking Thousand Society would be jeopardized.
The more Wu Bolin thought about these problems, the worse his mental state became, making it impossible for him to truly isolate himself for a few days.
At first, the narrow ice cave wasn’t a problem for him. Once he entered a meditative state, he would no longer be aware of anything around him.
But because he couldn’t enter a meditative state, he began to feel a strong aversion to the cramped environment, as if he suddenly experienced claustrophobia, feeling restless and uncomfortable.
However, the weather was constantly not in his favor.
Under the ice, he could still faintly see the light of the aurora borealis when he looked up, so he didn’t feel completely immersed in darkness.
But the aurora has disappeared in the last two days.
Worse still, the moon also disappeared.
The moon and sun in Antarctica are very different from those in other regions. After the polar night, there are several months when the sun is completely invisible.
However, the moon rotates in a cycle of about 15 days. This means that for almost 15 days, the moon is always in the sky, but for the other 15 days, it is completely invisible.
There has been no moon or aurora for the past few days, and visibility across the Antarctic continent has been extremely poor. If you stand under the sky, there will still be a faint glimmer of starlight, enough to faintly discern the outlines of objects.
But Wu Bolin was beneath the ice, and no starlight could penetrate at all, leaving his ice cave almost completely pitch black.
After numerous failed attempts to enter a meditative state, coupled with the extreme darkness surrounding him, Wu Bolin’s mental state was on the verge of collapse. He even wished he could get out immediately, even though it would require an extra expenditure of spiritual energy to withstand temperatures exceeding -60 degrees Celsius. He preferred to go outside.
Having made up his mind, he completely stopped his meditation and rose to break through the ice.
To his surprise, after his eyes had adjusted to the pitch black darkness for several days, he suddenly saw a faint, almost invisible light coming from beneath his feet.
The light, which couldn’t even be called light, was like the snowflake patterns that appear in one’s eyes when they close them. So he wondered if he was experiencing some kind of hallucination or vision in this extreme darkness.
At first, he didn’t think much of it, just wanting to get out of this horrible place as soon as possible.
However, the eerie dim light seemed a bit different from the spots and patterns of light that usually appear when you close your eyes.
The difference is that the patterns you see when you close your eyes, whose origins are unknown, are random and moving. When you blink frequently, the patterns appear to float around when your eyes are closed.
However, no matter how many times he blinked, the pattern of light emanating from the depths of the ice beneath his feet never changed position.
Suddenly I realized that this might not be my hallucination, but something that really existed.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but mutter, “Those Japanese explored Antarctica for more than a month, and the results they reported were that there was only ice under the ice sheet.”
“Only beneath the ice layer thousands of meters deep are there rocks. In other words, this ice layer probably formed tens of millions of years ago. So, what exactly is that tiny light underneath?”
