Chapter 680: Life Matters
In Antarctica, everyone else walks along a spacious plane, but the five of them are where there are ravines to go, and they are the kind that teaches wide.
Because, only in this kind of place, the research ship can run aground. After walking for two hours, I climbed over a small snow-capped mountain, and in front of me there were continuous mountains, and then retreated.
"If the research ship was trapped in the ice, it would not have reached the belly that far." Kunyang said.
Zhou Xuan nodded, so they didn't need to go deep into the South Pole. As for the South Pole, which countless people yearn for, they cannot reach it with their current equipment.
When I walked to the shore, it was already dark, and I could still see the shadow of the sailboat, but it got dark very quickly, and after walking for a long time, I couldn't see it, so I could only move forward with the help of lighting.
After boarding the ship, Kunyang started the sailboat, hehe smiled, and gave a thumbs up, "It is worthy of being a first-class sailboat, and the performance is not to be said!" ”
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and continue to move on. Stop-and-go, and encountered cloudy days, the five people still chose a suspicious location to land, and endured the cold for several hours.
In this way, a week passed quickly, and there was no trace of the research ship.
"I think that the research ship has sunk, or they themselves have turned off the positioning system and have already committed treason." Davy's imagination unleashed.
"It's unlikely, the scientific expedition team is all elite talents cultivated by the state, and the Phantom Organization wants to envelop so many people at once, I really don't know what kind of conditions will be offered. I guess it must be stuck somewhere. Zhou Xuan said.
"The research ship will not climb to the shore on its own, but if it had stayed on the shore, it should have been found by the search team a long time ago, why hasn't it been found?" Pei Shengnan asked.
"This still needs to be asked, most of the signal is blocked." Guan Qing said casually.
After speaking, all four pairs of eyes looked at Guan Qing, Zhou Xuan touched his head with a smile, nodded and said, "This one is the most likely, so we should focus on the surroundings of those protruding mountains." ”
"But Master, if I thought of it, why didn't the joint search and rescue team think of it?" Guan Qing asked again.
"Pretty self-aware." Pei Shengnan sneered, and said, "Maybe foreigners' brains are not as good as ours." ”
"Haha, it's impossible, there should still be other problems." Kunyang laughed.
Seeing the four of them talking about something with a relaxed face, David was anxious and waved his arms, "It's not fair, can we all communicate in English?" ”
It's easy to think, but in fact, when you actually operate, you will find that it is very difficult, the ice here is all moving, and the rest of the journey is all like this, and the ice blocks are connected on the sea surface to form a larger piece, blocking the way to the shore.
In this case, Zhou Xuan used a telescope to make a general elimination. At noon on this day, in the pile of ice not far from the shore, an oval-shaped bulge was found, and everyone was excited, it could not be a frozen scientific research ship, right?
Kun Yang immediately plunged the sailboat into it, and the bow of the ship rushed away some fine pieces of ice, but it was still dozens of meters away from the bulge, and with a bang, everyone's bodies leaned forward, and they couldn't get in.
"Damn, it's all trivial!" Kun Yang said in annoyance, and slapped the rudder hard, but rubbed it with his hand in distress, as if he shouldn't hit his child.
"Give me the toolbox, I'll take a look." Zhou Xuan said suddenly.
No way!
Zhou Xuan's idea was opposed, and Kun Yang said: "The Antarctic glacier is strange, like anything, you see that the thickness is very large, it should be the tip of the iceberg slipping." Besides, the location is so eye-catching, the search and rescue team has already found out. ”
The distance is not far, Zhou Xuan is still a little tempted, if he really misses something, it will be a lifelong regret.
"I'll take a look and I'll be back." Zhou Xuan insisted.
"It's just a few dozen meters, tie a rope, one end is tied to Zhou Xuan, and the other end is on me." David has it all.
"No, the sea is so icy that if you fall into it, you will freeze quickly." Pei Shengnan resolutely disagreed, thought about it, and said, "Why don't I go!" ”
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, whoever went was an adventure, not to mention that it was his idea to come to the South Pole this time, "Don't worry, just according to David, tie the rope and I'll walk over slowly." When the situation is ascertained, whatever the outcome, I will come back immediately. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xuan insisted on this, everyone couldn't resist him, but they still tied two ropes to him, one end was fixed by David on a stable ice block, and the other end was held in Pei Shengnan's hand.
"It's better to tie it to a sailboat, in case of a situation, the power is strong enough." David said.
"Bah, crow's mouth, so many ice cubes are in the way, and you can't pull people to death? You can figure it out! Pei Shengnan rolled his eyes.
Carrying the toolbox on his back, Zhou Xuan got off the sailboat and stepped on a block of ice. It looks stable, but in fact, the bottom is eroded into an uneven shape by the sea, and as soon as the weight is pressed up, it begins to tilt.
Pei Shengnan was in a hurry and pulled the rope as soon as possible, but Zhou Xuan jumped on another block with the help of the power of the ice cube, fortunately, it was very stable.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes were focused on Zhou Xuan, although it was only a few tens of meters, but every step was full of danger, and they couldn't be careless. Very smoothly, Zhou Xuan came to the large ice cube, brushed away the snow outside, and illuminated it with a strong light, it was full of ice inside, and nothing could be seen.
took out an ice hammer, and Zhou Xuan gently hit it, it was extremely hard, and it didn't leave too many traces.
It wasn't like it had been frozen recently, Zhou Xuan put away his tools and went back, and looked back halfway, but found that in his direction, the color of the ice cubes was divided into shades, that is, there were hollow parts in it.
So, Zhou Xuan turned around and walked back again, and took out a small ice hammer again.
"Did you find anything?" David said excitedly when he saw this scene.
"It's going to freeze into ice lumps, and it's too late to find out." Kunyang is pessimistic.
Pei Shengnan didn't listen to anything, his eyes were about to pop out and he didn't say anything, his neck was stretched, and he was looking at Zhou Xuan intently.
Burst! The ice hammer really chiseled open the shallow layer of ice, Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly continued to beat until the hole was the size of a fist, and he looked closer.
Just by taking a look, Zhou Xuan's face changed, and he turned around and ran back!
"Xuan, what's wrong?" Pei Shengnan asked loudly.
I saw Zhou Xuan rushing back, and with a terrifying clicking sound, the behemoth behind him actually cracked, and the upper oblique angle slid down and smashed in his direction.
"Xuan!"
Pei Shengnan was in a hurry, turned over and jumped off the sailboat, but Kunyang stretched out his hand but didn't catch it. Pei Shengnan didn't have Zhou Xuan's ability, the ice below was unstable, and he was planted headlong into the sea.
Kun Yang hurriedly went down to drag her up, but Zhou Xuan's situation was much more serious at this time. Sensing the anomaly behind him, he instinctively jumped to the side, and then rolled over, dodging the falling large block of ice.
However, the life-saving rope became a burden, and as the ice fell, Zhou Xuan was also pulled into the sea and could not be seen.
