On July 15, 2027, deep in the Vostok Ice Sheet in Antarctica, the 47th scientific expedition team was salvaging ice core samples. Geologist Anna suddenly discovered that half of a rusty metal cabin was embedded in the ice core recovered by the drilling machine. The surface of the cabin was engraved with a faded Russian slogan: "Don't wake us up."
At the same time, in a biological laboratory in Alaska, 26-year-old virologist Shen Xinglan was handling the gilt pocket watch left by his father. In a micro-petri dish on the inside of the watch cover, a spiral-shaped virus is slowly crystallizing in liquid nitrogen at minus 80°C. Her phone vibrated suddenly, and an encrypted email from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that silicon-based virus activity was detected in the Siberian permafrost three days ago.
At the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Lu Chen, an instructor of the "Sharp Blade" special forces in the Eastern Theater Command, is inspecting the cold weapon latch of the QBZ-95 assault rifle. The AR projection of the tactical eyepiece shows that a batch of "special supplies" will arrive at the Arctic scientific research station via military transport aircraft in three days.
In Shen Xinglan's microscope lens, virus spores are penetrating the protective glass at a speed of 0.7 Microns per second. Her father, Dr. Lin, who defected to the Soviet Genetic Laboratory thirty years ago, left his last words in the holographic image: "When the aurora synchronizes with the tides, the Antarctic glaciers will spit out sleeping demons." The pocket watch suddenly beeped, and the virus sample in the petri dish inside began to vibrate violently.
Lu Chen's tactical tablet showed that the frequency of nuclear submarine activities of a certain country in the Arctic Circle increased sharply. He ripped open the wolf head tattoo on his left shoulder...
