Chapter 1719: A call for help
Walking on the ice is very dangerous, once the ice is not solid, after falling, you can no longer get up, there is the river below, and when you are washed by the current, you will never find the hole above your head.
However, this ice sheet area is not so dangerous, there is snow everywhere, and under the snow, there is a layer of ice, and under the ice, there is frozen soil, which is solid.
Even if you step into a snow nest, there is a way to get out, this kind of place with snow floating on top and an ice hole below can only be a trap that has been disguised and deliberately dug by someone.
The moment he stepped on the air, Nils knew that the situation was not good, and in a hurry, he immediately turned the harpoon in his hand sideways.
The Inuit are a people living in the Arctic, and they often encounter unexpected situations, if they fall into the ice hole, they can use the harpoon in their hand to resist, and the harpoon handle will stand outside the ice hole, then they have a chance to escape.
Nils wanted to use his years of experience to save the day, but he still made mistakes.
He underestimated the width of this ice hole, and the harpoon in his hand was not as wide as the ice hole!
So, he watched as his harpoon, without holding on to the ice, slid down with him, and then he heard a pop.
His companions also fell.
When the two of them all rolled down, they noticed that this was not an ice hole at all, but a crack in the ice!
If you had just turned the harpoon 90 degrees, you might have been able to hold it, but now you are setting the harpoon in the direction of the crack in the ice, so it is useless.
Greenland's ice sheet, which is not monolithic, has a variety of cracks that threaten the sled patrols on the ice sheet.
Generally speaking, intelligent huskies can tell the difference, bypass the crack far away, and walk from a safe place, however, this camouflaged one is different.
The other party is quite clever, if you artificially create a trap on the ice sheet, it is too difficult, the frozen hard is harder than the stone, they actually cleverly use these cracks as an invisible protection, and now, their own side has actually been hit.
"Can you go up?" Nils asked.
His companion shook his head.
The depth is nearly four meters, even if the two of them step on their shoulders, their hands can't reach the top, and the side wall is slippery, and they can't go up at all.
Fortunately, there is hard frozen ground under your feet, and if you go deeper, it is even more terrifying.
What to do?
When they set off, they assigned their respective patrol routes, and this circle was probably going to take a month, so after a month, their companions would find out that something had happened to them, and when the time came, they might not be able to find it, and even if they did, they would have been frozen.
Is it going to die so miserably?
The clever huskies have slowly crawled over, and at the edge of the crack, looking downward, the eyes of these life mates have also turned gray.
It's impossible to come up.
If they had been riding a sled, they would have been fine, and when the first husky in front of them fell into the ice, the one behind would stop, backwards, and pull the front one out, which has happened before.
Now, they can't help it.
"Wang, Wang." Suddenly, the smartest head dog, with his head in the direction of the tent, barked loudly.
Yes, there must be people on the other side of the tent, these traps are also set by them, if you want to live, you can only ask them for help!
"Help..."Nils was no longer reserved, thinking that before he set off, he was indignantly shouting to find out the German weather team and avenge Denmark or something, and now, it has been reduced to shouting for help to the enemy.
Don't blame Nils.
The two shouted at the top of their voices, hoping they could hear from the tent.
At this time, outside the tent, on the roof of the igloo, Oort, who was lying there and aiming in a lying position, slowly came down from the igloo.
The taste of the barbecue will be appealing, and this is also one of his plans.
The other party's patrol team, there is more than one person, then there must be someone else, where is it? Alter didn't intend to interrogate Knutson, and directly used the aroma of barbecue to attract the other party.
The crack in the nearby ice was discovered on the first day he came here, when he made it into a trap, and he walked around it when he went out, and as a result, the two men happened to crash in.
If the other party leaves from a distance, then Orr has no choice but to use the rifle in his hand to kill the other party, and at a distance of 300 meters, he will definitely not miss the target.
Now, everything is perfect, and the other party has already begun to shout for help.
In the tent, the boy chewed on the barbecue of a polar bear, poked his head out, and said to Aort, "I think I heard shouting for help outside?" ”
"No, you must have heard it wrong, it's windy, let's go back."
Shout for help, just go and save them? What are you kidding, these people are here to find them, and at least they have to be frozen in the ice crevices for a day, and they will only get them out after they have suffered enough.
I'm not a savior.
So, the boy's head retracted again, and he was tired of eating canned food in the past few days, and suddenly he had the meat of a polar bear, which made him very appetizing.
In the igloo, the injured Cnutson was suffering in his heart.
He heard a cry for help in the distance, and knew that it was Nils and another companion, they must have been in a desperate situation, otherwise with the character of the Inuit, they would definitely not call for help easily.
Now, his leg is broken, he is recuperating from his wounds, it is impossible to go over to save it, and the only people in the vicinity who can save it are these Germans.
If you don't ask the Germans for help, the two people outside will die, and if you ask the Germans for help, how can you have such a thick skin when you think about the task?
Knutsen's heart was so hard that he didn't know what to do.
The voice outside has become weaker, if he doesn't ask for help, the two people inside will be in danger, what should I do?
In charge of him, the life of the people is the most important, and the Inuit people should be honest and honest in doing things. Thinking of this, he stood up, carried a wooden stick, and pushed open the curtain of the igloo.
"Guys, I deceived you." Opening the door of the tent and seeing the people inside, Knutsen said: "I was appointed by the government to organize a sled patrol to find the traces of your meteorological detachment, and the government has sent a large number of patrols throughout Greenland to find your location. ”
Only the boy knew Greenlandic, and when he translated the other party's words, Professor Weiss was also overjoyed, and confessed so quickly?
