But there is nothing in this damn place, let alone animals, not even a small iceberg. It is all an endless expanse of ice, so white that if I were not wearing protective glasses, just the white light reflected on the ice would be It can blind our eyes.
Although the sea is covered with ice, there is almost no snow on it, only a thin layer of frost. It is very difficult and slippery to walk, even if you wear non-slip shoes. After all, there are no nails on the soles, so you may fall down if you are not careful.
We lined up in a row and tied ropes to our bodies, so that even if someone fell, they would not be left behind. Mr. Mai still led the way, and Chang Shan took the rear this time. From a preliminary look, the environment here, Worse than a small island.
Logically speaking, we should use hiking sticks, which will make walking more convenient, but who would have thought that we would encounter such a situation.
We walked forward with great difficulty in the cold wind. The red snowflakes had stopped, but the heavy fog came again. Although the fog was not as thick as before, it also affected the line of sight and the visibility dropped significantly. Quite often, when the fog comes, the sun disappears, and the whole sky and the whole space is gray.
The cold wind mixed with the fog was simply deadly. Our faces were numbed by the blowing wind. The fog had moisture and the cold wind was icy cold, which quickly formed a thin layer of frost on our bodies.
The temperature is getting colder and colder. I don’t know to what extent. I have lived in the Northeast for many years and I think I am never afraid of the cold. Even if it is more than 20 degrees below zero, I don’t feel how cold it is. , but in this damn place, the cold wind was like a knife. I didn’t even dare to raise my head. The temperature must have been close to minus 40 degrees, otherwise it would never be so cold.
Every time I take a few steps, I have to look back. Li Xin is behind me, Jenny is behind her, and Jiao Ba is behind Jenny. This is a deliberate arrangement by me, so that I can at least take care of them. , although I said I would no longer care about Jenny’s affairs, but at the critical moment, I really couldn’t do it.
"How are you? Can you still do it?" I turned around and shouted to Li Xin. She lowered her head all the way and seemed to be struggling. She was covered in white frost and her pace slowed down a bit.
After hearing my shout, Li Xin looked up at me and said, "It's okay, just a little cold."
"Hold on a little longer. Maybe it will be better after we have walked through this journey." In fact, I don't know when the cold wind and fog will stop, even if only one thing stops, the cold wind and fog The mix was really powerful, and I even worried about whether the gun would freeze.
Martin was walking in front of me, when he turned back and shouted, "Mr. Jin, are you sure we can find the treasure?" His face and body were covered with frost, and he looked like Almost like a little snowman.
I took two steps forward against the cold wind, "What did you say?" In fact, I heard it, but I just pretended not to hear it.
"I said, are you sure we can find the treasure?" Martin shouted again.
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly." I pretended to be stupid again, Yankee, don't you feel that you are awesome? This time I exhausted you to death. Although what I did was very unethical, if I didn't do it, I would always feel sorry for myself.
"I said, when can we find the treasure?" Martin shouted again, louder than before, and the cold wind filled his mouth.
"When can I hear this cold wind?" I asked the question without answering.
Martin was stunned for a moment, then roared, "How do I know."
"You don't know when the cold wind will stop, so how do I know whether I can find the treasure. "After I said this, Martin was so stunned that he didn't say a word. He was so angry that he almost cursed me.
Mai Lao turned around and shouted, "Save your energy and stop shouting."
The two of us had no choice but to shut up and continue to follow him. We had been walking for nearly an hour. I don't know how far we had gone, but our ship had long since disappeared.
During this hour, someone will always fall on the ice, not because of lack of physical strength, but because the ice is too slippery, and coupled with the torture of the cold wind, everyone looks very nervous. Tired, but these did not affect the overall situation. Even Shaoyu and those Malaysians survived tenaciously.
The fog and cold wind finally began to weaken a little bit, which was a good sign. Without the cold wind and fog, at least we wouldn’t suffer so much. After we walked for more than half an hour, The cold wind and fog finally stopped.
I feel that the temperature has risen a bit. Although it is not obvious, it is still very cold, but it is much stronger than before. At least my body does not feel the biting coldness during the previous journey. , it’s so torturous, anyone with a little less willpower can easily freeze to death.
At this time, Mr. Mai turned around and shouted, "Should we take a rest first?"
Previously, due to the cold wind mixed with fog, we did not dare to stop at all. Once a person stops, the blood flow slows down, and the person is easily frostbitten or even freezes to death in a short period of time. Therefore, no matter how tired we are, we He didn't dare to stop either.
Mantou shouted from behind, "Take a rest, my legs are getting weak."
"Then let's take a rest." Mr. Mai finally decided to rest for five minutes before leaving. , although the cold wind and fog have stopped, the temperature is still very low. The rest is just to relieve physical strength, but it must not be stayed for a long time, otherwise the human body will not be able to bear it.
We put down our backpacks and sat on them to rest for a while. I took out the thermos flask. After opening it, I took a gentle sip. Unexpectedly, the water in the thermos flask was still hot. It is also very hot to the mouth and has not been affected by the previous weather at all. This thermos is really a good thing.
“I thought the water had to be frozen into ice cubes, but I didn’t expect it to be so well preserved.”
Martin turned to look at me and said, "This is the best military thermos bottle in the United States. It can maintain the water temperature for 24 hours when the temperature is more than 30 degrees below zero."
"This thing is really good. After drinking the hot water, I obviously feel warm all over my body. "This American's equipment is so advanced. A sip of hot water is more effective than anything else."
Li Xin opened the kettle and took a sip. She said with an expression of enjoyment, "Really, the water is so hot. Martin, your equipment is advanced enough."
Martin I am very proud to say, “This time I went to sea, almost all the equipment I brought was The most advanced military equipment in the United States. Without good equipment, it will be very dangerous for people to survive outside. "
"Well, that makes sense. I agree with this. Without good equipment, it will be very dangerous. It's all in vain," said Mantou, drinking hot water nearby. Jenny put away the kettle, stood up and asked, "Mr. Mai, how far do we have to go? We have been walking for nearly two hours."
