When Bai Yujing woke up from the sleeping bag, he happened to see Liu Xinwu, Li Xiang, and Liu Hai playing cards, and there was still a noise outside the tent, Bai Yujing felt that the whole tent seemed to be suppressed by the snow, and the snowstorm outside still did not stop, and it still looked full of energy.

Liu Xinwu was the first to discover Bai Yujing and immediately looked over: "How is it?" Is it better? ”

Bai Yujing stretched out his hand from the sleeping bag: "It's okay, it's completely fine, I feel that my whole body is full of strength, what about the others?" ”

"Zhu Wei, Wen Feng, and Zhou Jun are playing cards in another tent, and they are still fat and smart, so they brought the cards over, otherwise they would be really bored to death!" Liu Xinwu said with a smile, there is a fire burning on the stove next to the tent, and the red gas cylinder is connected to the side, such a small one is enough for Bai Yujing and them to use it for a long time and spend a warm night.

Bai Yujing got up and ate something, looking at the blizzard that was still blank outside, the wind was howling wantonly on this land, I don't know when it will stop, if it continues, it will bring Bai Yujing and them a lot of trouble.

The snowstorm fell for two days in a row, and finally stopped on the morning of the third day, Bai Yujing got out of the tent, finally straightened his waist, and everyone got out, breathing the air outside.

The earth is white, the sky in the distance is blue as if it has been washed by water, out of them, there are no other people or animals here, this is a pure and unpolluted world, there are no clouds in the sky, the whole world is quiet and does not feel any sound, any other existence, just like the legendary holy land, Bai Yujing seems to stand at the junction of blue and white, the whole world is only left with itself, this seems to be a world that does not belong to reality.

The light reflected from the snow on the roots is very bright, and if you don't have goggles, you can easily get snow blindness in such a place.

Everyone was moving their bodies in the open space, although the blizzard had stopped, but there was still a low temperature of minus 30 degrees, Bai Yujing approached the snowmobile, opened the door, good guy, it was all stuffed with blood, and the interior of the car was filled tightly, leaving no gaps.

"Good guy, I said why didn't the car blown by the blizzard behind it shook, it turns out that this is getting worse!" Bai Yujing said with a smile to Zhou Jun behind him.

This is a continuous strong snowstorm weather, a trace of snowflakes from the crack into the car, gradually filling it, Bai Yujing and Zhou Jun respectively held shovels, the snow inside the car was cleaned up little by little, and the others hurriedly accepted the camp and prepared to set off again, it has been delayed by the blizzard for so long, and the rest of the trip, Bai Yujing They must speed up!

It was still Liu Xinwu driving the snowmobile, and Bai Yujing was chatting with Wenfeng Zhu Wei behind him, Bai Yujing was holding the map: "Wenfeng, where is our current location?" How long will it take to reach the target location? ”

Wen Feng immediately straightened up and leaned over, pointing to a location on the map with his gloved fingers, "The place we are currently in is here, and if we want to reach Ice Dome A, the straight-line distance is about more than six hundred kilometers. ”

Ice dome A is the location of Kunlun Station, and the speed of this all-terrain tracked snowmobile on the road is more than 30 kilometers per hour, not to mention the complex terrain of Antarctica, the distance in a straight line is more than 600 kilometers, so the actual distance is much farther, and without this kind of snowmobile, not to mention the low temperature outside and the ice crevices that can be seen everywhere, the dangerous terrain, it is physically exhausting, and Bai Yujing They can't support it.

Bai Yujing calculated: "So if we want to reach our destination, it will take at least six days?" ”

Wen Feng nodded: "Almost." ”

Bai Yujing immediately looked at Liu Xinwu, who was engrossed in driving: "How many days do we have enough food, gas, and diesel?" ”

Liu Xinwu thought for a while: "How can the oil be enough for us to run to Kunlun Station, and Kunlun Station also has supplies, where can we fill up and run back, the food is enough to eat, but the gas is not enough, when there is a snowstorm, we use it too much, I don't know if there is stock at Kunlun Station, otherwise we will be uncomfortable when we return!" ”

Bai Yujing immediately wrote it in his notebook, recorded all these questions, and then asked Zhu Wei: "Professor Zhu, let me ask you a question, do you think there will be a prehistoric civilization in a place like Antarctica?" Does the geography support this claim? ”

Zhu Wei nodded: "This kind of talk is very likely to exist, Antarctica is not the same as now, has been in a frozen state, according to scientific inference, Antarctica may be hundreds of thousands of years ago, not the same as now, is a completely frozen continent, here is the same as other continents, can accommodate life, but the specific ice time has been in a state of debate, some say a million years, some say one or two thousand years ago." ”

"But what can be confirmed is that there were signs of life in Antarctica before!"

Zhu Wei came to a conclusion, which made Bai Yujing feel a lot more stable, and touched the center of the circle in his pocket, after so many twists and turns, Bai Yujing was also afraid that his inference would be wrong, if he came here and found that it was another wrong address, he really didn't know what to do.

"So look at it, what should the geology of this area look like?" Bai Yujing asked again.

Wen Feng immediately smiled: "I haven't been here yet, how can I know what the situation in this area is like?" ”

Zhu Wei also nodded: "But I do know some information about this, the address situation in this area is mainly composed of the Archean and Proterozoic crystalline basements, and there are also limited Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks in the Prince Charles Mountains and other places in the east......"

When the three of them were discussing hotly, Liu Xinwu, who was driving in front, immediately stopped, which made the No. 2 car behind also stop, and Li Xiang's voice immediately came out of the walkie-talkie: "Car No. 1, why did it suddenly stop?" Did you find something? ”

Bai Yujing also looked at Liu Xinwu, Liu Xinwu pointed to the road in front of him with a long mouth, Bai Yujing looked over, and immediately saw a row of very conspicuous footprints on the snow on a large area of snow in front of him, a little bit away, spreading towards the hillside.

Bai Yujing immediately got out of the car, holding a pathfinder stick in his hand and constantly inserting it downward to prevent ice cracks, and finally came to the footprint money, Bai Yujing took a look, the size of the footprint was about one and a half the size of his own, just like the sole of a giant's foot.

And the other party is obviously not, it can be seen that it is a pair of fleshy palms stepping on the snow, Liu Xinwu and they also followed, implementing this situation, Wen Feng immediately took the camera and took a picture.

"A creature walking upright on both legs, the soles of this foot are also too big, preliminary estimates, at least two meters tall, what kind of creature is this?" Liu Xinwu's expression also became solemn, if you find this kind of creature in this kind of place, you must be careful when camping at night, in case you are attacked by this kind of beast, it will ......!

Wen Feng held the camera and kept taking pictures with some excitement: "It must be a snow monster!" ”

Bai Yujing and Zhu Wei looked at Wen Feng together, and at this time, Li Hao, Liu Hai, and Zhou Jun from the second car behind came over, and found the footprints on the ground, and their faces changed, and after listening to Wen Feng's words, they asked in unison: "What is the snow monster?" ”

Liu Xinwu immediately said: "Don't listen to him, the snow monster is only a legendary monster, just like a wild man, tall and mighty, up to more than two meters high, and likes to devour human flesh, but this is just a legend, no one has ever seen it!" ”

Liu Xinwu deduced: "I guess it may be a creature like a bear, it is likely to be a special species left over from ancient times, and it is very possible that Antarctica is so big that it has not been discovered!" ”

Although I haven't heard of bears in Antarctica, this kind of inference is much more reliable than the legendary ghosts like snow monsters, and everyone also acquiesced to Liu Xinwu's statement, Bai Yujing clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone go back to the car, but after that, at night, it's best to leave someone to keep vigil, after all, there is such a beast, we must be vigilant!" ”
