In the end, Zeng Gong asked Rommel to draft a simple contract for the two of them, and the two left the next day, but Zeng Gong did not stay in the ranch, and temporarily handed Elena to Vivien, wherever they went, he would go to Hawaii to find them, and Maria was left to Saunders and Lady Mary to take care of, and he went to Alaska alone.

Alaska is located at the northwest tip of the North American continent, bordered by Canada to the east and the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean on three sides. The state is home to 17 of the 20 highest mountains in the United States, and the 6,194-meter McKinley Peak is the highest peak in North America. Most of the world's active glaciers are in Alberta, with the largest glacier basin in the Malaspina glacier basin covering an area of 5,703 square kilometres.

With an area of 1,717,854 square kilometers, the state is one-fifth of the country's area, making it the largest state in the United States. The southeast and south-central regions have a temperate climate, with an annual temperature of about 0°C~15°C; The inland climate is continental, reaching 26°C during the polar day in summer and -15°C in the polar night in winter. The west and southwest are affected by the ocean, and the cold and windy are strong; The Arctic Circle has a polar climate, and the temperature is below zero throughout the year.

Located within the Arctic Circle, Barrow Point is home to the Inuupit Eskimos and one of the largest Eskimo communities in Alaska, where you can experience the magical phenomenon of polar day and night, with the beautiful Northern Lights often streaking across the night sky. Traditional Eskimo life, modern petroleum technology and large herds of wild reindeer form a unique scene.

The choice of going to Point Barrow was not a good choice, and the cold and snowy place was now even harsher, but he had to go for the pasture. Hop aboard a flight from Bozeman to Juneau, the capital city of Alaska. Then transfer to Fairbanks, where there are regular flights to Point Barrow. Flying in the snow and ice, airplanes, sleds, and fully tracked vehicles may be the best choice.

Fairbanks is an autonomous municipality in the Borough of Fairbanks-Polaris, Alaska, USA. It is the second largest city in the state and the largest in interior Alaska. The city is a city in the central eastern part of Alaska. Pro Chena River. In 1902, it was prosperous due to gold panning, and it was established in 1903. It is about 400 kilometres south of Anchorage, and is connected by rail between the two cities. It has a population of about 30,000. Located at high latitudes, it is the closest major city to the Arctic Circle in North America. The winter is cold and long, the summer is cool and short, and there is the phenomenon of eternal day and eternal night, and it is currently an important stronghold of the US military in Alaska, and there are oil pipelines passing through it.

"Hi man. Do you want accommodation?" the lazy white uncle was constantly dozing off at the counter, and even if there was business coming to the door, he didn't have the enthusiasm he deserved, just lazily coping.

"Of course, boss, do you have any spare space here? And do you serve food here? It's too cold outside, I don't want to look for restaurants all over the street." Zeng Gong nodded, although the attitude of the white uncle was not satisfactory, who made it not the peak tourist season.

The white uncle nodded and said, "I only serve smoked venison and toast here." If you're in the mood for a drink, I've got the best vodka here to keep you out the cold in winter. ”

"Prepare me smoked venison for two, a bottle of vodka, I need a clean room. It's best to take a hot shower. Zeng Gong said a little impatiently when he heard this.

The tired journey needed a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the whole body, and the white uncle did not have more waiters here, but his wife brought Zeng Gong to the room. Because of the rise of tourism. There are a lot of homestays like this in Fairbanks and there is no need for a waiter. One family member can do it, and it's cozy. It has received many praises.

Comfortable!

The hot bath washed away the fatigue on his body, and when Zeng Gong returned to the lobby again, the white uncle had already prepared the food, and the steaming appearance made people full of appetite, and he also carefully prepared a cup of hot cocoa, Zeng Gong was full of good feelings in his heart.

"Boss, do you know when the plane to Point Barrow will take off?" Zeng Gong took a sip of hot cocoa and felt hot all over, and asked casually.

Flights to Point Barrow are often unreliable, especially in winter, and when a snowstorm hits, flight delays are a common occurrence, and it is better to ask the locals for flights.

"Point Barrow, boy, are you going there to work? There are no planes to go there now, and the earliest flight will be three days away. The white uncle looked at Zeng Gong suspiciously, and finally told the truth, and finally said with some concern: "The weather in winter is too bad, and every time you go to Point Barrow, it is a dangerous move. ”

"Hehe, boss, I'm traveling there to see the polar night weather, and I also want to taste the Eskimo food. Zeng Gong replied with a smile.

"It's not a great idea, and if you want to taste Eskimo food, why go to Point Barrow, and Eskimos basically eat raw meat, so there's nothing to talk about. The white uncle shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Zeng Gong's thoughts.

"I'm just going to see and see. Zeng Gong responded vaguely.

If it weren't for the moonlight flower ghost to go to that place, the end of the continent, the magical polar day, the polar night, it was just a ridiculous gimmick, unless the oil was extracted, the people who went there were those who had enough to eat and had nothing to do.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Zeng Gong, the white uncle had to shake his head and go back to the counter, calculating the accounts at a glance, which was the most important thing of his day.

Zeng Gong was also happy to be quiet, gulping down the smoked venison cut by the white uncle, although the taste was average, but there was a rare rough atmosphere, with a huge reindeer head on the opposite side, the big horns of the branches and branches were definitely the pride of the owner, and every time I appreciated it, I got the pride of the owner.

"Boss, I don't know where to rent a sleigh?" Zeng Gong suddenly had a crazy idea of conquering this journey when he saw the huge reindeer head, although before leaving, he promised Elena that he would not take risks, but now the idea of taking risks could not be contained.

"Sledding, boy, are you crazy? It's a few hundred kilometers from here to Cape Barrow, not only the cold, but the endless primeval forest is the biggest test, where there are hidden unknown dangers, brown bears, arctic wolves will be deadly threats, if you get lost in the forest that is the most terrible thing, food shortages and a big storm will definitely kill you. When the white uncle heard this, he immediately said with palpitations, his rough face was full of fear, as if he had experienced a terrible thing.

"But didn't Barrow Point also be discovered by explorers through the ice field?" Zeng Gong retorted.

"Explorers, those explorers also took advantage of the short summer and made full preparations to accomplish the feat, but what did you prepare?" said the white uncle, smiling coldly.

"This?" Zeng Gong was speechless for a while.

“LastnightIdreamtofSanPedro? JustlikeI\dnevergone,Iknewthesong? Ayounggirlwitheyeslikethedesert? Itallseemslikeyesterday,notfaraway?”

"Elena?" Zeng Gong was suddenly startled when he saw the display on his mobile phone, and he answered the phone head-on.

"Did you go to Point Barrow yourself?" asked Elena, with some exasperation.

"No, I'm in Fairbanks. Zeng Gong was deflated for a while, knowing that he couldn't take risks alone this time, and said with little interest.

"Fairbanks? Wait, I'll ask my friend to call you." Elena said with some relief. (To be continued.) )
