Chapter 708: Polar Night Hunter
For the next four days, Ye Feng and Ouyang Liang lived in Carlos's castle, accompanied by Carlos and his family. On the other hand, Carlos also sent someone to the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Society to get the map, and it was estimated that there would be some complicated procedures to go through, so it was delayed for a few days.
In the past four days, Ye Feng found that Carlos was a very ordinary old man except when he was alone with him, a kind grandfather and a strict father, his three sons and two daughters were all high-ranking members of the gang, and the wolf den he created was a family-style gang, and his children would inherit his organization in the future. It's just that in front of his children and grandchildren, he has always behaved very quietly, no different from an ordinary old man, but Ye Feng can also see that his children all respect him like a god.
And Ye Feng also knew that Ouyang Liang had known Carlos for a long time, and when she was studying in Europe ten years ago, she was harassed by the gangsters, and she inadvertently met Carlos and joined the wolf's den organization, which made her rise to prominence and became a gang doctor, Carlos is actually her real boss.
However, Ye Feng didn't care that Ouyang Liang was hiding these things from him, because after all, what she brought to Ye Feng was good, and she didn't have any bad intentions for him.
Four days passed in a hurry, and in the early morning of this day, just after breakfast, a subordinate reported that the map had been taken.
Ye Feng took the map excitedly, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised to find that this map was an ancient parchment scroll, at least thousands of years old, so it also means that this Antarctic Shrine existed thousands of years ago!
I saw this map written in ancient characters, which marked the path to the Antarctic Shrine in detail, but Ye Feng couldn't understand these ancient European characters, and he didn't understand it until Carlos found someone to translate it.
"Thank you, Mr. Carlos, I plan to leave today, without further ado, and go early and return early." Ye Feng said.
Carlos nodded and said, "Okay, Antarctica is the worst place in the world, I'll find a few expedition members who have been to Antarctica to go with you, there is a response on the way, and you can leave in the afternoon." ”
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money, you can command the scientific expedition personnel with your mouth open, and you can also arrange planes and ships for Ye Feng, and you don't have to worry about the things you need along the way, it seems that this world is not only about martial arts, but also about money! He also secretly made up his mind that one day he would also become a super rich man.
After a morning of preparation, a helicopter came to pick up Ye Feng and set off, Ye Feng said goodbye to Carlos and Ouyang Liang, and took a helicopter to an island base in the South Pacific, which is the closest scientific research station to the South Pole and the starting point of Ye Feng's trip.
After flying for more than five hours, the helicopter finally landed on a small island, and was greeted by more than a dozen scientists from various European countries.
"Welcome, Mr. Ye, I am the person in charge of this research station, Kreid, a German." Creed is a bearded, middle-aged man, perennially unkempt, and clearly a science maniac.
"Hello, I'm Ingrid, the captain of the team this time, a British." A tall man with a big nose was in good spirits.
Then Ye Feng and these scientists met one by one, and then Ingrid decided that it was a little late tonight, and their six-person scientific expedition team would set off early tomorrow morning.
So Ye Feng lived in this scientific research station as a scientist, and in the chat that night, Ye Feng almost fell into the show several times, but fortunately he prevaricated on the grounds that he was not proficient in English, and he was recommended by Carlos through the Royal Academy of British Sciences, and no one doubted him anything.
After surviving a night of fear, the next day, Ye Feng and the six of them took a small transport plane and flew towards Antarctica.
Among the six people in this line, except for a black man who is an armed bodyguard, the other four are scientists, of course, Ye Feng is just a fake scientist.
Captain Ingrid is a physicist, Creed is a meteorologist, and there are two female doctors in their forties, both zoologists, one named Dairi and the other Daisy, two sisters.
This small transport plane was much faster than a helicopter, but it also sailed for a whole day, from morning to evening, a total of ten hours of flight to reach its destination, but it had only just flown into the Antarctic Circle, and it was still more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Antarctic Shrine.
The destination is an Antarctic research station, which is also the last forbidden area that the plane can fly, and if you fly south, the harsh weather environment does not allow it, so the rest of the journey will be all snowmobile.
As soon as he entered here, Ye Feng obviously felt that the temperature had dropped by dozens of degrees, and he was wearing a thick down jacket with a feeling of coldness, fortunately, he had deep internal strength, and when he reached his realm, he was already not afraid of cold and heat, as long as he transported his true qi to protect his body, he would not be affected by the wind and cold.
After another night at this research station, the next day, the six of them took a motorized snowmobile to the depths of the polar region, more than 2,000 kilometers away from the South Pole, there are still five scientific research stations to stop at this way, but the last station is still 800 kilometers away from the pole, so the last part of the journey can only rely on sleds and dogs.
This motorized snowmobile is specially modified, with high horsepower, and the engine and mailbox are equipped with antifreeze devices, ordinary car engines cannot be started at all in Antarctica, and the mailbox will freeze immediately. Only this special snowmobile can be driven, and because there are cracks in the Antarctic ice sheet from time to time, and the ice is melting, the snowmobile can't be too big, and it can only take six people at most, and if it is too heavy, it will break through the ice and fall into the sea at any time.
The closer you get to the pole, the slower the snowmobile will go, which has a lot to do with the weather, this more than 1,200 kilometers of the distance, a total of 10 days to complete, because the snowmobile is not a racing car, the ice field here is also very smooth and difficult to walk, it is impossible to run as wild as on land, and you can only walk more than 100 kilometers a day. But this speed is already fast in Antarctica.
On the last day, they finally arrived at a scientific research station only 800 kilometers away from the pole, and this is also the last stop.
Ye Feng found that because it is very close to the pole, it is dark 24 hours a day, half of the year is night, and half of the time is day, which is also the special environment of the north and south poles.
In this scientific research station, more than a dozen scientists gathered in a circle, drinking and eating to welcome these guests, these scientists have been stationed in this kind of place all the year round, and it is rare to see outsiders, so they are extraordinarily enthusiastic.
After Ye Feng took two sips of wine, he said, "Tomorrow I need a sleigh and a few dogs, and I need a few days of supplies, and I want to go to a place at the extreme." Will it be ready tomorrow? ”
Ingrid couldn't help frowning and said: "Mr. Ye, it was feasible according to the plan, but I observed the data and found that there will be a snowstorm the day after tomorrow, and there will be a snowstorm near the pole in the next week, you had better wait for this snowstorm to pass before leaving, otherwise it is very dangerous for you to go alone, and there is almost no chance of survival." ”
When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain, he had worked hard to come here, and he didn't expect to encounter a snowstorm, this is really not beautiful, if this is the case, wouldn't it be delayed for a week?
But if you think about it carefully, this is Antarctica, the worst place in the world with the worst climate and environment, even if you are strong in martial arts, but you can't be willful, human beings are really insignificant compared to nature. Encountering a snowstorm in the ice and snow, he was alone and was afraid that he would not return, and no one could support him in any situation.
So after Ye Feng calmed down, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, then wouldn't we have to wait here for a week?" ”
Creed said with a smile: "In the north and south poles, this is very normal, it's okay, there are enough supplies here, we can collect data near the scientific research station this week, it's okay to drink vodka and sing songs, isn't it good." "He's very open-minded.
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and was about to make a joke, but at this time, the sled dogs outside the door suddenly began to bark wildly, and dozens of dogs all barked loudly, listening to the barking as if warning people of danger.
Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned, there would be no guests visiting in this cold and snowy place, what could it be that alarmed these dogs? "Is it a beast? Is there a beast here? ”
Ingrid also said with a look of surprise: "In the polar regions, except for polar bears, there are no animals that sled dogs are afraid of, but here is Antarctica, there will be no polar bears." ”
At this time, a member of the scientific expedition team suddenly changed his face and said, "Could it be the Polar Night Hunter!" God, the legend of the local aborigines, it should not be true! ”
"What Polar Night Hunter?" Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, suddenly one of the sled dogs outside let out a terrible bark, and the other dogs also made a low sound, as if they were very scared.
Ingrid is a fierce man, grabs a shotgun, pushes the door open, and Creed lights him on the side, and the two rush out.
Ye Feng suddenly felt a beat in his heart, a bad premonition hit, he quickly flew up and rushed out of the door, because he felt a very cold aura outside, very powerful! Definitely not something that ordinary people and shotguns can deal with!
After coming to the door, before Ye Feng could see anything clearly, he saw Ingrid shoot in the distance, and the sound of the gunfire came far away, and under the illumination of this tongue of fire, Ye Feng vaguely saw a tall black shadow moving at high speed fifty meters away.
"Did you hit? That thing doesn't look like it's human! Creed asked, pulling out a hunting knife.
Ingrid nodded confidently and said, "I'm the shooting champion, the shot just now definitely hit, that thing escaped, let's go see what it is." ”
The three of them ran fifty meters away together, and when they got closer, they saw that a sled dog on the ground was dead, and a large hole had been torn open in its abdomen, and its internal organs were gone, and in less than a minute, the body had frozen.
Looking at this terrible wound, Ingrid's face couldn't help but change, and she said, "What kind of animal is this wound?" Looks like a bear? ”
"Oh my God! It's the Polar Night Hunter! It's a monster from hell! At this time, a member of the scientific expedition team behind him said with a shocked face.
