Chapter 1078: The Edge of the Fault
Polar worms do exist, and they generally live in deep water layers, but according to the animals' descriptions, they will occasionally come up to breathe, which undoubtedly adds more confidence to Mai Xiaoji and others.
In addition, the ring water is not too accurate, but a ring of broken ice, located inland, but from the perspective of the animals, it looks more like a ring, and it is difficult to see the light of day.
Animals have a different definition of time than humans, they rely on crawling or swimming, and their speed is limited, but after comprehensive calculations, it can be reached by driving for three days to the southwest belly zone.
If the actions of Mai Xiaoji and others are spread out, everyone must think that they are crazy! In fact, Mai Xiaoji also thinks so, if it is not forced by life, who would want to be a strong man!
The taste of living in the dark all the time is not comfortable, Mai Xiaoji and Nangong Yue have completely reversed day and night, and they are under a lot of pressure both physically and mentally. However, three days have passed, and no water has been found, only vast ice fields.
Nangong Yue played the most important role, and when the sun came out, she got out of the car to look for animals, and met a group of penguin fathers who went out to find food to give birth to the next generation.
Compared with seals, the penguins are very gentlemanly, and after the exchange, this group of penguins has not seen the extreme worms in the sea, but has seen them floating on the surface of the water after they have died. Because, this insect is not easy to rot, and it feels the same as seals, and it is not delicious.
The pole worms have never seen it, but the penguins have provided accurate information about the waters, and if they continue to set off, they will be able to find the annular water. The penguins also kindly reminded them to pay attention to safety, those faults fell, but it was over, and there were once companions buried there.
Regaining their spirits, the group of people continued to cross the vast ice field, and after about a day of advancement, Guan Yu stopped the car, because the road conditions were complicated, and Mai Xiaoji had to use the big handle again and again.
"The road conditions are terrible, Xiao Ji, let's shrink the snowmobile first, let's drive the snowmobile. Guan Yu suggested.
After two days, the terrain began to become steep, and Mai Xiaoji shone it up with a flashlight, and it was 30 meters high.
Mai Xiaoji's job is irreplaceable, change into hiking shoes, tie the buffer rope, and prepare to climb with an ice axe in hand, Nangong Yue grabbed him and hesitated: "Xiaoji, why don't you wait for the sun to come out, let's climb again?"
"It's cloudy these days, and I don't even know when the stars will come out, don't worry, I'll sit down the slide at most. Mai Xiaoji pretended to be relaxed.
"But no one knows what's underneath the ice. I'm worried about ......"
Ban Chao took a step forward and said, "Xiaoji, I'll go up first, and I'll be able to respond when I get to a high place." ”
"Don't bother, it's inland, and the ice is pretty solid. ”
After that, McXiaoji alternated with an ice axe and had already begun to climb. Nangong Yue has been playing flashlights for Mai Xiaoji, in fact, Mai Xiaoji's heart is also pinching at this time, and it is quite dangerous to slide down at this height.
The higher you go, the steeper it becomes, more precipitous than what you see below, Mai Xiaoji didn't dare to be careless, the golden circle was fixed on his wrist, and he insisted on climbing up step by step.
Ten minutes later, Mai Xiaoji arrived at the destination smoothly, breathed a sigh of relief, and used a flashlight to shine into the distance, a flat ice field, and this is the highest point of this journey, and then there should be no frequent use of large handling, maybe you can drive directly on the snowmobile.
"Xiao Ji, how is it?" Nangong Yue asked in a loud voice.
"Very good, very open!" Mai Xiaoji replied, the flashlight shone downward, and there was a flash of light in one place, Mai Xiaoji hurriedly swept back, leaned over and looked down, where is it?
Yes!
The center of gravity of his body suddenly lost his balance, and Mai Xiaoji fell from above. What was even more terrifying than sliding was that he was tumbling down at first, and when he controlled the ice axe in his hand, it was like hitting a hard stone, and he couldn't control it at all!
The description is very long, but the whole process takes less than ten seconds, and Mai Xiaoji feels that the slope is not so steep, and it becomes gentle. Under the inertia, the ice axe slid two shallow traces on the ice, and the speed of McXiaoji's gliding finally began to slow down, but the light that the flashlight shone just now was approaching!
It's water light!
It was the water that Mai Xiaoji and the others were looking for when they crossed the ice field, but at the moment he couldn't be happy, because he was sliding towards it quickly!
This is Antarctica, and if you can't see your fingers, it will bring great difficulty to the rescue!
Mai Xiaoji alternately smashed his arms against the hard ice with an ice axe, and his voice was sharp and piercing, and just as he was about to use the reverse, fortunately, he finally stopped with his legs hanging in the air.
Looking back, he was almost frightened, the water was far away, in fact, he was now on the verge of a 100-meter fault, and falling down would be the end of being crushed.
His legs were weak, and his hands were occupied by the ice axe, and for a while, Mai Xiaoji couldn't use the golden ring, so he could only let go of his voice and cry: "Help, help!"
It didn't take long for McIgie to see a dark figure moving towards him, accompanied by the rapid sound of an ice axe striking.
Mai Xiaoji put his heart in his stomach, hehe, he knew that the second brother was the first to rush over when he realized that he was in danger. Or, it's Xiang Yu, the overlord is domineering and benevolent, and there is nothing to say.
However, when the black shadow approached, the figure was not as tall as the two of them, could it be Ban Chao? No, Ban Chao was strong and mighty, and it was not much different from Guan Yu and Xiang Yu.
Maybe it's Mai Dao Chang, but he uses both hands and feet, and the flustered and disorganized doesn't seem to be his style, it should be Wang Dayuan.
It doesn't seem to be, Wang Dayuan is slightly fat, and obviously the one who is close to him is much thinner. Mai Xiaoji finally made a judgment that it was the dry Zuo Ci! Hehe, this old Taoist priest was quite authentic at a critical time, and shouted: "Daoist, I'm here!"
"Xiao Ji, hold on, I'll come over right away!"
A familiar and worried voice came, Mai Xiaoji's body stiffened, and his eyes were instantly wet with tears, it was actually Nangong Yue!
And looking at Nangong Yue's back, there are two figures who are following and rushing here, it is Guan Yu and Xiang Yu!
"Xiaoyue, why are you here?" Mai Xiaoji hurriedly asked.
Nangong Yue had already come to him, but before Lamai Xiaoji came up, she tied the rope on her body to him. Then, he helped Mai Xiaoji up and walked to a safe place before stopping.
The powder fist kept pounding on Mai Xiaoji's chest, and Nangong Yue cried and shouted: "Let you be careless! Why don't you die, you have to fall, everyone is relieved!"
"Don't cry, don't cry, I can't die, and I don't dare to die. Mai Xiaoji was extremely moved and hugged Nangong Yue tightly in his arms.
Guan Yu and Xiang Yu also rushed together, and then the rest of the people also came here in this way, Wang Dayuan sighed: "As soon as I heard Xiao Ji shouting, Secretary Nangong, who had not received any training, actually climbed up in only five seconds, and I looked stupid below." ”
