Chapter 963: Over the Mountains
"Let's camp here tonight. There is a plain in front of us. It looks like we can't get out today!" The strong wind mixed with snowflakes kept blowing on Jiang Hai and the others. Louis Cazard gestured to the electronics in his hands. Map, he said to Jiang Hai next to him. Jiang Hai also glanced at the endless plain in the distance and nodded gently.
Then the two of them separated, jumped down from the snow slope in front of them, and entered the two small camps behind them, one on the left and the other on the right. This is where they lived, with two tents on each side, one big and one big. Small and looks good.
It is said that one must not have the intention of harming others, and the intention of guarding against others must not exist. Although they came together, Jiang Hai and Louis Kazad still moved forward in two parts and did not mix together.
Every day when they set up camp, they would arrange the snowmobiles in two rows and put them in the middle as a cordon. Jiang Hai was on the right and Louis Cazard was on the right. The wells on both sides did not interfere with the river water, and they all ate what they brought. Things, no trust, but together, this journey has been going on for three days till today.
Yes, it has been three days since Jiang Hai and the others set out from that scientific research station.
During the past three days, Jiang Hai and the others have been moving towards their goal. Because there is no place to rest here, Jiang Hai and the others spend all their time riding on motorcycles except when they set up camp.
Calculating based on running for thirteen hours a day, that’s 80 kilometers an hour, which is more than a thousand kilometers a day. Of course, this is not a straight line, and the road to Antarctica is not completely flat. There are many snow valleys here, and there are many Sometimes Jiang Hai and the others have to jump over glaciers and snow-capped mountains, and sometimes Jiang Hai and the others have to go around them. This all takes time.
But even so, three days have passed, and Jiang Hai and the others have advanced about four-fifths of the way. The plain in front of them should be near the mountain where the high-altitude landing plan crashed. That is where their goal is. .
Entering the tent, Jiang Hai saw that his people were also busy.
Wallis Shelley was playing with his electronic equipment. These things were to ensure that Jiang Hai had the ability to go out if he fell out with Louis Cazard, so he had to be careful.
Bell Lester was cleaning his gun there. He had been running these days, but there was not much tiredness on his face. After all, he was from Delta State before. Although he had never been to Antarctica, he must have had a lot of training like this. Pass.
Connerson-Peters was doing push-ups there. For him, only by exercising well can he protect Jiang Hai.
Azalina and Galina were gathered in front of a pot, boiling melted snow water. Next to them, there was a penguin with only grease and skin left. Of course, there was still a lot of skin on it. feathers.
The feathers on penguins are indeed feathers, not animal fur. However, these feathers are very small and in the shape of fine scales. Their thermal insulation effect is okay, but not very good. Their biggest function is to waterproof and reduce underwater resistance.
As Jiang Hai and the others go deeper and deeper into the Antarctic, there is no water nearby. There is ice and snow everywhere, and occasionally there are some water holes and the like. Under such circumstances, most creatures are very It's hard to live here.
Therefore, there were originally many seabirds on the periphery of Antarctica, such as skuas and other creatures, but they have completely disappeared here.
In the past three days, Jiang Hai saw only a handful of seals, and the only ones that were more numerous were penguins.
Penguins have been seen a lot, and Jiang Hai also knows some of the habits of this creature.
In fact, to be honest, penguins have many supporters both at home and abroad. But in fact, this kind of creature is really a kind of creature with a very bad nature. This kind of creature is very thief and often steals things. Or attack humans or other creatures.
And although they live together, the social relations are extremely chaotic. All the penguins in Antarctica are prostitutes and sluts.
Although they are monogamous on the surface, as long as the two are separated, they will do that kind of thing crazily. Even the seals were led astray by the penguins. Originally, the seals caught penguins for food, but now the seals catch them Penguins are sometimes used for 'playing'. It goes without saying what kind of play they are. Although they are different species, getting in is the most important thing.
So basically the penguin parents take turns incubating the eggs. When the female is incubating the eggs, the male goes out to find food, and then goes crazy. Ahem, when the male is incubating the eggs, the female goes out to find food, and then goes crazy. , ahem, this is reality...
Most penguins, while raising their own children, will also break the eggs of other penguins and kill the chicks of other penguins. Jiang Hai has witnessed these with his own eyes, so penguins are such creatures. Really times.
As for this kind of creature, Jiang Hai had said before that it was actually quite unpalatable, but once, when Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai went out to play, they caught a penguin and came back. Jiang Hai made a penguin just to give it a try. I came down to eat and found that if you just eat the lean meat inside, the taste is actually okay, but some of it is too fishy, but this is easy to handle. Jiang Haitai’s has wine and ginger. These are all things that can remove the fishy smell. Use The penguin meat cooked with these things tastes pretty good, with a beef or mutton flavor.
Of course, fat cannot be eaten, and skin, claws, and heads cannot be eaten. But in such weather, it is a good treat to have a bite of fresh meat. Jiang Hai and the others have been eating like this for two days. .
Soon Azalina and Galina had finished the pot of penguin meat that had had its smell removed. After quietly throwing away the soup, they boiled a pot of water again and took out the penguin meat. The dried vegetables and dried meat that came over were cut into pieces and thrown into the pot. As the water in the pot stirred again, the smell of broth also filled the tent.
Smelling this smell, everyone else's eyes also focused on it. As the broth was ready, Azarina also gave everyone a large bowl of broth. Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai also had a bowl each, and they Holding the compressed biscuits, Jiang Hai and the others also started eating.
"It should be here soon!" Azarina asked Jiang Hai while eating.
"Well, it's almost done." He nodded, and according to Louis Cazard's words, tomorrow is almost here. .
"Then we have to be more careful!" After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Galina also looked at Azarina and said.
"Don't worry, they won't have the guts to touch us before they find anything." After hearing what she said, Jiang Hai also smiled and said, he was telling the truth. There is really nothing good for a privileged class like him. Afraid.
"Be careful, boss." At this time, Bell smiled from the side, and he still supported Galina's statement.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Hearing Bell say the same thing, Jiang Hai nodded. It's never wrong to be careful.
Soon everyone ate up the food in front of them in a hurry, and then Bell and Connorson-Peters returned to their tents. Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai also ran outside the tent very wisely, and they would be on guard nearby. Come back to catch up on your sleep during the day tomorrow. Compared to people coming to guard you, they are actually more dedicated to their duties.
Afterwards, only the four of Jiang Hai and the others were left in the tent. Of course, Jiang Hai was not so crazy as to have a baby in the tent, but the friction and cuddling would definitely be indispensable. Yes, they are more accustomed to this.
After changing his sleeping clothes, Jiang Hai hugged the three girls and fell asleep, saying nothing all night.
When she got up the next morning, Azharina reheated a pot of boiling water. After everyone washed up, they checked the wind direction. It was summer after all, and although the current wind was almost level 7, it was still possible to walk.
After putting on their equipment and packing their things, Jiang Hai and others rode snowmobiles, jumped over the snow peaks in front of them, and headed towards the plains in front of them. The speed of everyone along the way was very fast, and they quickly rushed to the plains. superior.
But as the old saying goes, if you look at the mountains and run to death, you can't do anything based on the scenery on the plains.
So even though it seemed that the mountain was not far away, Jiang Hai and the others almost ran from dawn to dusk before arriving at this place. After arriving here, both Louis Cazard and Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. , on this big day, they had no rest except for taking a break during lunch. They kept running and finally made it.
"According to what is written in the information, the entrance to the underground city is halfway up the mountain. Should we go there tonight or let's talk tomorrow." After arriving at the snowy peak, Louis Kazad watched Jiang Hai buzzing. Said angrily.
"If I said I would go there tomorrow, would you believe me?" Jiang Hai glanced at Louis Kazard, smiled and said, to be honest, since we are already here, it is impossible for Jiang Hai not to go directly there.
"Oh, I don't really believe it. Let's spend the night in the cave at the entrance!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Louis Kazad also laughed. Just like what he said, he didn't believe that Jiang Hai wouldn't He ran up secretly. In that case, instead of following Jiang Hai after he and others found out about Jiang Hai's sneaking away, it was better to go in together. He was really curious, what was Jiang Hai doing here?
"Then let's go!" Now that he had decided, Jiang Hai didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, everyone around him drove their motorcycles and rode towards the middle of the mountain. Although the speed up the mountain was much slower, it was good. The mountains are very short here.
It was only about 3,000 meters, halfway up the mountain, which was more than 1,000 meters. Although the wind got stronger and colder as we went up, everyone was still able to hold on, and finally it was completely dark. Before they fell, Jiang Hai and the others reached the middle of the mountain!
What caught their eyes at this time was a huge cave! (To be continued.)
