252 Eye of the Storm
Whether it is the South Pole or the North Pole, it is the limit area of survival, no one dares to play survival here, and everyone who dares to say that they are at the top of the food chain will automatically ignore this kind of place.
Why? Because there is almost no food chain here, all survival techniques may not apply here.
If you can't effectively get supplies from the natural world, you are doomed to not be able to sustain them, but anyone who comes here will carry plenty of supplies, and even then, there is no guarantee of survival.
Xiao Zhan entered the Arctic Circle alone and walked into the real barren land.
Compared to the green of the tundra belt, the dazzling white ice and snow give people a magnificent dead silence.
A person is small, and it is easy to feel helpless in the face of one huge iceberg after another.
At this time, even people who do not have any faith will develop a sense of reverence for nature.
"Whew! …… Whew—"
The bitter cold wind blew, and Xiao Zhan hid in a snow cave to hide from the storm in the Arctic Circle—almost as long as the wind blew, a storm would almost form.
It's not a place for people at all.
But he was okay, after adapting to the alpine and snowy regions, he didn't know how to avoid the storm, how to keep warm, and how to avoid the effects of the worst weather on the body.
Hidden in a snow cave, Xiao Zhan chewed an energy bar to keep his body hot enough.
In such a cold area, if you don't want to freeze to death, you must let your body have plenty of heat at all times.
temperature, which takes away the heat from the body; The cold wind will take away the heat of the body; Exercise also burns calories in the body.
If there is no calorie supplement, even if you wear a base uniform, you won't be able to last long.
……
The long night finally passed, the sky was clear, and the icebergs near and far exuded a dazzling crystal clear, faint, chill.
In front of him was the ocean under the ice, and Xiao Zhan kept walking forward, kept walking, and he didn't know how long he had walked.
However, he felt that he was almost reaching the latitude and longitude coordinates provided by Little A, because here he began to see household garbage and traces of snowmobiles driving on the ice.
This is the biggest difference between the North Pole and the South Pole.
There are no people at the pole of Antarctica, and there are no countries in the Antarctic Circle.
But the Arctic is different, there are people in the Arctic Circle, and there are many perennial observation stations and scientific expeditions at the poles of the Arctic.
Because of the people, it is inevitable that there will be domestic waste, which has led to the environmental problems of the Arctic that have been called for in recent years.
It's one of the few cleanest places in the world, and it's now facing environmental issues.
Following the traces of the snowmobile, Xiao Zhan walked all the way forward, and after walking for another two days, he finally saw a scientific research camp.
This is a camp with a rice flag, which belongs to the scientific research station of England.
Xiao Zhan, who was exhausted, walked towards the scientific research station, he now needed to settle down, he needed a good rest, and he needed a cup of hot water to warm his stomach.
Although there are no dangers along the way, I have been nibbling on energy bars and drinking snow water, even if there is no problem in walking, but I can't stand the fatigue of my body.
The houses of the scientific research station are all prefabricated houses, which are assembled, but the materials of the prefabricated houses are very special, which can play the role of thermal insulation to the greatest extent, and are strong and wear-resistant, and extremely strong.
Xiao Zhan walked into the scientific research station and knocked on the door.
"Oh God, an explorer!" A scruffy bearded scientist made an incredulous sound.
He thought his eyes were spent, and he thought it was a colleague who was out to do surveying, but when he opened the door, he found that it was a strange explorer.
It's not uncommon to see explorers here, because every year many extreme enthusiasts come to the Arctic to explore, but those explorers do so by means of transport, either helicopters, sleds, snowmobiles, etc., and they are still in groups.
This is the first time I've encountered such a hiker.
"Hello, sir, don't you mind if I take a break from your place?" Xiao Zhan said with a smile in English: "I've been puzzled for how many days, and I can't hold on anymore, so ......"
"OK, OK, no problem, come on in, I think you need a hot cup of coffee."
“……”
Entering the scientific expedition team, Xiao Zhan could finally take a good rest, and in the process of resting, he talked with the other party and roughly understood some of the situation here.
Of course, his main purpose is the latitude and longitude area that Little A gives him.
"Mr. West, my purpose is here, do you know where the approximate range is?" Xiao Zhan told the English scientific expedition officer the latitude and longitude.
"Let me see." West entered the latitude and longitude into the computer and quickly determined the area.
But when he saw this area, his face changed color, and it became very ugly.
"You...... To get here? West asked quietly.
His voice was completely different from the one before, full of fear, and his face changed, becoming very serious, very cautious.
"yes, that's where I go." Xiao Zhan nodded.
"Oh man, you can't go here, that's the eye of the storm in the polar regions." West shook his head vigorously and said, "You explorers don't know the horror there, there are two most terrifying eye of the storm in this world, one in the polar region of the South Pole and the other in the polar region of the North Pole. When a person enters the eye of the storm, he will surely die in it. So I advise you not to go, let alone you as a lone explorer, even if we have enough equipment, we don't dare to go to that place. ”
The eye of the storm generally refers to natural weather, accompanied by tornadoes, lightning, and storms, and its central location is called the eye of the storm.
So how scary is it? No one knows, but people know that a tornado can destroy any tall building at will, and can roll a car straight into the air like a small rock.
Originally, the poles of the earth are full of mystery, which is not only the location of the earth's magnetic field, but also the harshest natural environment of the earth.
The South Pole has an eye of the storm, and the North Pole also has it, and as for why there is an eye of the storm at this pole, it is not clear from science for the time being.
Because the explanation is not clear, it has not been announced, and not many people know about it.
In fact, both the Antarctic and the North Pole hold a lot of secrets.
Explored, kept secret; If it has not been explored, no one knows.
"Eye of the Storm?" Xiao Zhan frowned.
"Yes, that's right, Eye of the Storm." While pouring coffee for Xiao Zhan, West said to him, "Many years ago, a multinational joint expedition team entered that area and encountered the eye of the storm. This large expedition consisted of hundreds of people, but as soon as they entered it, they were swallowed up by the storm, and not a single one survived. ”
"It's normal." Xiao Zhan said.
"But what's not normal is in the back—" West's pupils contracted slightly, and he continued in a low voice, "Guess what happened the next day?" You can't imagine that early the next morning, some expeditions ......"
"West, are you done with your job?" A voice rebuked West.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
West went to work, and an inspector not far away walked over and stared at Xiao Zhan with not very friendly eyes.
"Man, you can have a coffee here, or you can wait here for our supply planes to arrive and leave the North Pole. But don't ask too much stuff, that won't do you any good. By the way, I think it's necessary to remind you that West is talking about taboos here! ”
Xiao Zhan nodded, smiling at the other party, indicating that he fully understood, but his heart was pondering this eye of the storm.
