Chapter 1721 Call for Help

It is very dangerous to walk on the ice surface. Once the ice is not solid, after it falls, you will not be able to get up again. Below is the river water. Once washed by the current, you will never find the hole above your head.

However, this ice sheet area is not so dangerous. There is snow everywhere, and under the snow, there is a layer of ice, and under the ice, there is permafrost, which is solid.

Even if you step on the snow nest, there is still a way to get out. This kind of place with floating snow on the top and an ice hole below it can only be a trap that was camouflaged and deliberately dug.

The moment he stepped on the air, Nils knew that the situation was not good, and in a hurry, he immediately turned the harpoon in his hand sideways.

The Inuit are a people living in the Arctic, and they often encounter unexpected situations. If they fall into an ice hole, they can use the harpoon in their hand to resist, and the harpoon handle will be placed outside the ice hole. Then they have a chance to escape.

Nils wanted to use his years of experience to save the day, but he still made a mistake.

He underestimated the width of this ice hole, the harpoon in his hand was not as wide as the ice hole!

So, he watched his harpoon helplessly, did not support the ice, and slid down together, and then heard a thud.

His companion also fell.

When the two of them all rolled down, they noticed that this place is not an ice hole at all, but a crack in the ice!

If you just turned the harpoon 90 degrees, it might be able to hold it, but now the harpoon is held in the direction of the crack in the ice, so it is useless at all.

Greenland's ice sheet, which is not monolithic, has various cracks that threaten sled patrols on the ice sheet.

Generally speaking, intelligent huskies can tell the difference, bypass the crack far away, and walk from a safe place, but this kind of camouflage is different.

The other party is quite clever. It would be too difficult to artificially create traps on the ice caps. The ice is so hard that it is harder than a stone. They actually cleverly used these cracks as an invisible protection. hit.

"Can I go up?" Nils asked.

His companion shook his head.

The depth is nearly four meters. Even if the two of them are stepping on their shoulders, their hands can't reach the top.

Fortunately, there is hard permafrost underfoot, and if it is deeper, it will be even more terrifying.

How to do?

When they set off, they assigned their own patrol routes. I am afraid it will take a month to go around this circle. Therefore, after a month, their companions will find out that they have an accident. When they come, they may not be able to find them. Found it, and it's frozen.

Are you going to die so tragically?

The intelligent huskies have slowly crawled over, looking down at the edge of the crack, and the eyes of these life partners have also turned gray.

Impossible to come up.

If they were on a sled just now, it would be fine. When the first husky in front fell off the crack, the latter would stop, pull back, and pull the front out. This has happened before. of.

Now, they can't either.

"Wow, woof." Suddenly, the smartest head dog, with its head facing the direction of the tent, barked loudly.

Yes, there must be someone over there. These traps are also set up by them. If you want to survive, you can only ask them for help!

"Help..." Nils was no longer reserved, thinking that before he set off, he was all shouting indignantly to find the German weather team, to avenge Denmark or something. Now, he has been reduced to calling the enemy for help. the point.

Don't blame Nils.

The two shouted at the top of their voices, hoping that the tent could hear it.

At this time, outside the tent, on the top of the igloo, Oort, who was lying there, aiming in a prone position, slowly got down from the igloo.

The taste of grilled meat would be appealing, and that was one of his plans.

There must be more than one patrol team on the other side, so there must be others. Where are they? Alter did not intend to interrogate Knutson, and directly attracted the other party with the smell of barbecue.

He discovered the cracks in the nearby ice when he came here on the first day. At that time, he made it into a trap. When he went out, he walked around it. As a result, these two people just crashed in.

If the opponent left far away, Orr had no choice but to use the rifle in his hand to kill the opponent. At a distance of 300 meters, he would never miss the target.

Now, everything is perfect, and the other party has started calling for help.

In the tent, the boy chewed the polar bear's barbecue in his mouth, stuck his head out, and said to Ault, "I think I heard help from outside?"

"No, you must have heard it wrong, the wind is strong, let's go back."

Calling for help, just go and save them? What a joke, these people are here to find their own side, at least they have to be frozen in the cracks of ice for a day, and they will be released after suffering enough.

You are not the savior yourself.

So, the boy's head shrank back again. He was tired of eating canned food these days, and suddenly he had polar bear meat, which made him very appetizing.

In the ice house, the injured Knutson was suffering in his heart.

He heard the cry for help in the distance, and knew that it was Nils and another companion. They must be in a desperate situation, otherwise, with the Inuit character, they would never call for help easily.

Now, his leg is broken and he is recovering from the injury. It is impossible to save him in the past. The only people who can be saved in the vicinity are these Germans.

If you don't ask the Germans for help, the two people outside will die, and if you ask the Germans for help, how can you be so cheeky about the task when you think of it?

Knutson's heart was very sad, he didn't know what to do.

The voices from outside have weakened. If he doesn't ask for help, the two people inside will be in danger. What should we do?

Who cares, the life of the tribe is the most important, and the Inuit, doing things is to be magnanimous. Thinking of this, he stood up, leaned on a wooden stick, and pushed open the curtain of the ice house.

"Everyone, I deceived you." Opening the door of the tent and seeing the people inside, Knutson said: "I am a government-appointed and organized sleigh patrol, just to find the traces of your weather team. Yes, the government has sent a large number of patrols throughout Greenland to find your location."

Only boys can speak Greenlandic. When he translated the other party's words, Professor Weiss was also overjoyed. He confessed so quickly?
