Chapter 1714: Preying on Polar Bears
"It's so windy outside!" Lying in the tent, listening to the whirring wind outside, a boy couldn't help but sigh.
It's the third day here, and it's completely within the Arctic Circle, so it's hardly dark here, and the sun occasionally sets in the west and then rises in the east.
In such an environment, it is a big challenge to the biological clock, he has not fallen asleep for two days in a row, his eyes are bloodshot, he hopes that he can fall asleep as soon as possible, but there is a strong wind outside.
The climate in the polar region is quite harsh, and the wedges of their tents, driven several meters deep, are then frozen, and even then, they can feel as if the wind can pull up the wedges at any moment and lift the tent off.
"Go to sleep." Professor Weiss said: "If you don't rest here, you will get sick in a few days, and we are inaccessible here, and once you get sick, you will be in trouble." ”
Professor Weiss's concern was justified, they had arrived here in a glider, and they had already wanted to leave, and the glider could not do anything, in fact, after they landed, the glider had already been disassembled, and the glider was made of wood as the fuel for their daily fire.
Their return needs to be met by helicopter when the weather is good, or they walk to the beach and wait for a ship or submarine to pick them up, in short, it is impossible to be so timely, and if they get sick here, they may even die.
"Hmm." The male student agreed, wanting to fall back asleep, and his stomach gurgled again.
Not only can't he sleep, but he also has no appetite for food.
They came in gliders, carrying only some military rations, including compressed biscuits and canned beef, and when they first started eating, everyone felt good, and after three days of eating, they felt like throwing up.
At this moment, suddenly there was a cold wind outside, and a figure flashed in.
Dressed in white with ice on his eyebrows, Ault came in, roasted his hands in front of the stove, and set his automatic rifle aside.
There were two tents in total, one for work and one for sleeping, and Oalter came back to sleep.
"Brother Olt, you're in good health." The male student couldn't help but sigh.
I've been here for a few days, I can't eat, I can't sleep, but look at people, I am alive and kicking every day, no, I just walked around the base for an hour, and came back after patrolling.
"If you don't have a good body, you can't do anything." Ault said, taking off his boots, which were already freezing hard.
"You have to eat a lot to keep your energy up." Ault continued: "I don't think you're doing well. ”
"I don't want to eat it."
"By the way, I saw that there are polar bears in the neighborhood recently, so let's fight a polar bear tomorrow and come back." "The skin of the polar bear is warm, so we peel it off and put it under our sleeping place, and the meat of the polar bear is kept for us to satisfy our hunger," Ault said. ”
If you eat too much canned food, you will be disgusted when you see it, and Oult also knows that it is not easy for these male students to persevere, and it is also good to hunt game.
Hearing Ault's words, the male student immediately became excited: "That's great, can I go with you?" ”
Hunting is also what the male students yearn for the most, especially the automatic rifle in the hand of Oort, which looks so imposing, and as he spoke, the male student sat up from the sleeping bag: "Why don't we go now?" ”
Looking at the male student, Aort smiled: "Of course not, this gun of mine is used at critical times, and guns cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary." ”
This is an ordinary 6.8mm automatic rifle with a magazine feed, which is more than enough to deal with a small number of people, and at the same time, it has been tested in the cold regions of Finland, using special gun oil in the cold regions, so you don't have to worry about freezing in the snow and ice.
But you can't use it casually.
They were very secretive here, and the sound of gunfire could easily reveal their targets, and although there was no one in the place, when their telegram was sent, it would certainly alarm the people of the island.
Radio contact four times a day to confirm the weather conditions, find out the pattern as soon as possible, provide the necessary data for the offensive in the rear, and at the same time, they are at risk of being exposed at any time.
If someone is looking for him, he will use a gun again, and the sound of gunfire will attract people.
"So what do we use? With a bow and arrow? The male student said.
Since you can't use hot weapons, you can only use ordinary cold weapons, and in general, bows and arrows are common hunting tools for Eskimos, including hunting polar bears.
"Use our minds." "Since you can't sleep," said Aort, "let's prepare now!" ”
So, the boy left his freshly warmed sleeping bag, put on a leather coat, and sat down with Alter in front of the stove.
Ault received all the boxes of canned food he had eaten in the last few days, and then began to use a multi-purpose saber to cut a few skeletons that had been removed from the glider, which were made of bamboo.
Following Ault's example, the male student also sharpened it with a knife, sharpened the ends of it, and then bent it and stuffed it into a canning box.
"We need to waste some cans." As he spoke, Ault opened a few uneaten cans, scooped out the meat inside, filled it with freshly stuffed cans with bamboo, and mixed it with some water.
"Okay, put these ready, put them outside and freeze them, and tomorrow you can go out and cast bait. Hopefully polar bears enjoy eating our canned beef. Aort said.
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? When the male student returned to the sleeping bag, he was still thinking about this strange scene, what was the purpose of these bait?
With this question, the male student fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, Aort had already gotten up and removed the iron sheet from the outside of the cans, leaving only the cans that were frozen hard inside.
Could it be? The male student already had some nostalgia in his heart.
"Let's go, let's go out and put bait, these days, we can see the footprints of the polar bear every day, it is moving near us, if we don't kill it, it may come to hurt us."
As he spoke, Alter put the prepared bait in a bag, carried his gun behind his back, and opened the door.
The sun is so dazzling.
