Bai Yujing sat in the helicopter, watching the medical staff checking Li Xiang and Wen Feng. She took a sip of hot water handed to her by Qian Jia. Zhou Jun was curled up in a corner, dozing off, lacking both the desire and strength to speak. Among the members of the expedition team present, only Bai Yujing had truly met and known Qian Jia.
It wasn't long before the helicopter arrived at Zhongshan Station, where a group of people quickly surrounded them, carrying the critically ill Wen Feng and Li Xiang away for urgent treatment.
Bai Yujing followed Qian Jia into the base, accompanied by her assistant Ouyang and Zhou Jun. The four of them entered a small conference room at the base and sat down. As soon as they were seated, Qian Jia impatiently asked, "Where is Liu Xinwu? Why hasn't he come out? There should be another person, the demolition expert named Liu Hai!"
Bai Yujing returned the thermos cup that Qian Jia had given her on the plane. "Liu Hai has defected. He has sided with the United States, killed Liu Xinwu, and exposed all our locations and objectives. When we arrived at Kunlun Station for exploration, he brought CIA members and took over our base!"
Qian Jia's face changed immediately. "What happened, Ouyang? How did someone like him get into the expedition team during your political review?"
Qian Jia immediately scolded Ouyang harshly. If this incident led to the failure of the expedition team and allowed important artifacts from Atlantis to be found by the United States first, she would be the first to face accountability from above; the accountability system in their bureau was no less strict than that of ordinary departments.
Ouyang stood up immediately. "It was my mistake, Team Leader. I will verify this issue as soon as I return!"
Qian Jia's mood became complicated. "So what does this mean for us? Have we failed?"
Bai Yujing shook her head. "They took Li Xiang hostage and controlled the base. At that time, I had no choice but to negotiate with them. We had almost pinpointed the location of Atlantis when they exchanged supplies and Li Xiang for me to take them to the ruins. Some unexpected situations arose during this process; I seized an opportunity to disrupt their actions. The United States' expedition team and Liu Hai were all left in Antarctica's interior, with only a woman named Catherine escaping."
Upon hearing this, although Bai Yujing had omitted some of the most dangerous parts of the situation, Qian Jia could still sense the hidden danger in her words. After Bai Yujing paused for a moment and lowered her head, neglecting some details, Qian Jia remained sharp enough to notice.
"Don't feel sad; in that situation, it was either you or them. You did well enough! What happened next?" Qian Jia asked.
Bai Yujing nodded and countered with a question for Qian Jia: "Did you arrange for someone named Zhu Wei in our expedition team? A geologist?"
Qian Jia thought for a moment. "No, there are six of you in total: you, Guide Liu Xinwu, driver Li Xiang, polar survival expert Zhou Jun, and Wen Feng—six people altogether. This is a winter expedition to Antarctica's interior; each person's physical fitness and survival ability have been assessed, including yours. Why would I arrange for a woman to join the expedition? It’s not just inconvenient; she could easily hold you back. Zhu Wei—why does that name sound familiar?"
Suddenly, Qian Jia exclaimed, "Isn't she the leading professor of this expedition team? Shouldn't she be at Great Wall Station? How did she come along with you?"
Bai Yujing looked at Qian Jia's expression without pretending otherwise and nodded. "Liu Xinwu told us that there are seven people in total in the expedition team, including her. When I entered Atlantis's royal city of Poseidonia, she had already arrived inside before me!"
"She knows a lot about Atlantis and relied on Center to activate the entire Poseidonia. By the way, Poseidonia is a Spaceship, very large, approximately three hundred kilometers long and wide!" Bai Yujing thought about how she had floated nearly a hundred kilometers in the water before crawling out from the bottom of the lake. That feeling was truly terrifying. Before Bai Yujing could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Qian Jia.
"You've been inside that spaceship? So it really is left by Atlantis. How was that spaceship activated? Is it really Atlantian?" Qian Jia immediately asked.
Bai Yujing nodded: "Poseidonia is located in a vast prehistoric lake, covering a very large area, completely frozen over, lying more than a thousand meters beneath the Ice Surface. The one who activated the spaceship was Zhu Wei. She wanted to take me away from Earth, but I didn't agree to her. I managed to open the spaceship's exit and escaped from inside. Because I opened the exit, a large group of Atlantis descendants, also known as Merfolk, rushed in."
"In the end, I'm not sure who actually activated the spaceship, but I feel it should be Zhu Wei. I won't go into details about what happened afterward; anyway, I managed to escape back with great difficulty!"
At this point, Bai Yujing suddenly remembered something and took out a Hexagonal Prism from her backpack. The Rhombus was crystal clear and transparent, about the thickness of her arm, with beams of light constantly moving within it, giving the impression of energy being transmitted. Lines of light appeared on the surface of the Rhombus, filled with a sense of technology.
As soon as Bai Yujing took out this object, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Ouyang quickly spoke up: "What is this?"
Bai Yujing replied: "It's an energy source from Atlantis, Magnetite. I've seen the Energy Tower of Poseidonia, and this is what supplies energy for the entire spaceship!"
Qian Jia Yi became excited: "Really? This... this is incredible!"
Zhou Jun also stood up: "This is what we risked our lives to bring back. This could drive the development of an entire civilization. If we could develop and possess something like this, it would spark a new energy revolution!"
Bai Yujing smiled: "The key isn't just this; it's..."
Bai Yujing immediately touched the top of the Magnetite, and a projection appeared in front of them, accompanied by audio commentary, as if playing a sci-fi documentary introducing the origins of Magnetite, its research process, and details.
"This is in Atlantis Language. It explains in detail how to manufacture Magnetite, involving some very important energy-related technologies. I can't understand it well, but if there are experts in this field, I think they could gain some insights!" Bai Yujing said to Qian Jia. To understand what was being said, Bai Yujing had even exchanged for Atlantis Language, spending fifty points.
Qian Jia immediately stood up and solemnly bowed to Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun: "This item is too important. On behalf of the organization, I thank you for your contributions to our country!"
Qian Jia carefully took the item from Bai Yujing, while Ouyang approached wanting to take it and put it away. A glare from Qian Jia made him retreat awkwardly. Qian Jia carefully placed it into her bag and held it tightly against her chest.
"Is this all you brought back?" Qian Jia asked.
Bai Yujing immediately replied irritably, "I was a thousand meters under the ice in Antarctica's interior, all alone. I drifted for dozens of miles with the current before I slowly found an exit. I almost didn't make it out. How much do you expect me to bring back?"
"It would have been great if we could have kept that spaceship!" Ouyang said, looking at Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing was furious, and Zhou Jun exchanged glances with him. It was already incredibly difficult for them to bring this back: "I'm really sorry that I can't fly a spaceship!"
Qian Jia immediately shot a glare at Ouyang. "What kind of talk is that? Apologize to Mr. Bai. They risked their lives to bring this back. We are already at the forefront!"
Ouyang quickly stood up and apologized to Bai Yujing and the members of the expedition team. Although he had some issues with Bai Yujing, he was still very impressed that these people managed to survive for over a month in such low temperatures in Antarctica, overcoming numerous dangers and difficulties to complete their mission.
After finishing his conversation with Bai Yujing, Qian Jia immediately went to the base's Communication Room and made a call through a special line. Within a day, three helicopters landed simultaneously in the snow outside the base.
Qian Jia had prepared for this; a group of soldiers armed with rifles immediately disembarked from the helicopters. One of them walked up to Qian Jia. "Hello, are you Team Leader Qian?"
"That's right, it's me!"
After verifying their identities, Qian Jia handed over the password box in her hand. The soldier opened it, carefully checked it, confirmed everything was in order, quickly closed it, and then handcuffed it to his wrist before boarding the helicopter without any delay.
At that moment, Qian Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had successfully completed this mission, and she could firmly secure her position as team leader, even leaving a significant mark on her resume!
