Chapter 470: Corpse (2/2)

Lin Feiyan’s patience had run out and she was ready to inform Wu Qianru to end the mission. Suddenly, she heard Wu Qianru shout, ”Captain, please come over here, there…there is a corpse.”

Lin Feiyan was startled as she heard that and quickly rushed over. The surface of the ice had thickened by tens of meters and gradually got thicker by one meter on average each day. The snow was not transparent as one-third of it was made up of dust which made it look dark and dirty. The naked eye would usually not have noticed that there was a corpse underneath.

Apparently, the person had died just a while ago… approximately somewhere between one to two days.

The corpse would have been buried deep underground if it had been there for a long time and the existence of this corpse showed that there might be a great possibility that there were other survivors nearby.

”Where?” asked Lin Feiyan as she quickly ran over there.

”Look! Over there!” said Wu Qianru. She looked tensed and pointed at the arm that was exposed on the surface of the snow about five or six meters away.

There was a small and naked body buried inside that protruded through the filthy snow.

Lin Feiyan looked along the direction with a slight change in expression. She could not blame Wu Qianru as the arm did look strange and odd and later discovered that the arm from the corpse did not show any signs that it was frozen. The skin looked rosy with a trace of pink and they could not have imagined that he or she had been buried inside the ice ground. There was even a high chance that he/she might still be alive.

Now, the temperature of the earth was close to -70 degrees Celsius, which was almost like the nightly temperature at the two poles. Without wearing any clothes, she could still absorb the elements to evolve, however, the remaining members of the Firearms Bureau might not have been able to survive under this terrible temperature.

The arm and the body size under the ice obviously looked like it belonged to a five or six-year-old kid.

”Captain, what should we do?” Wu Qianru asked.

It was so strange that even Wu Qianru who is a super evolved human was bewildered.

”Let’s check it out first, perhaps he/she is still alive!” Lin Feiyan also felt nervous but as a captain, she was calmer than Wu Qianru. Besides, it was a shameful act for a captain to retreat from a fight in front of their crew.

However, when she quietly took a deep breath and was ready to go over, she saw that the exposed arm from the icy ground was moving and the small hand gently grabbed some ice.

The scene had shocked her and before she was able to calm herself, she saw that the ice that buried the body suddenly splintered with a cracking sound. The kid sat up from the ice and revealed his/her bare back as countless pieces of ice came crashing down.

Looking at her flexible movements, the ice that had pressed on her did not seem to be as hard as steel but rather more like a layer of crisp skin. She showed her back to them and yawned as if she was still feeling sleepy. She sat there staring blankly and then stood up.

Lin Feiyan and Wu Qianru glanced at each other and felt nervous. They had never seen a child with special abilities and the gestures made by the child earlier had struck a deep fear within them. The hardness of the icy ground, which was below -70 degrees Celsius, was almost similar to that of steel and even the two of them could not have easily broken the ice like that child.

They silently retreated a few steps, however, the unknown child seemed to have heard their footsteps and suddenly turned around. She was a beautiful little girl who was naked. Upon closer observation, they noticed that the crushed ice on her body slowly melted.

She was surprised when she saw the both of them and said,

”Ah, I finally see humans!”

Lin Feiyan and Wu Qianru were glancing at each other and felt slightly relieved that at least she was someone that they could communicate with.

Wu Qianru asked cautiously, ”Little…girl, why are you lying down here?”

”Hi, Aunty. I was sleeping!”

This little girl had clear enunciation when she spoke and was very polite. However, the answer that came from her mouth had shocked the both of them.

”Where did you come from?” Wu Qianru thought and asked. Perhaps they could find out if there were other survivors.

”New Capital City’s genetic laboratory. But, everyone there is gone. My sisters, brothers and also our aunts that took care of us are all gone. I was looking for them.” The little girl said with an innocent look.

They felt even more uncomfortable the more they listened to this girl. Not to mention that she came from the laboratory, or that her sisters and brothers had come from there too. New Capital City was the main area that had been attacked by the Glassians as one of the nuclear antimatter smart orbital ballistic missiles had been dropped directly on them which made the entire city a huge pit.
