Chapter 418: Isolation from the World
The endless snowfields are all white. The ice-covered coastline behind it is winding into the distance.
Compared to the snowy waters here, Qin Ze prefers the blue of the sea. This plain white is as light as a few points, which makes people's eyes extremely uncomfortable.
It's June, the warmest month in the Arctic, but the temperature is still at -8 degrees Celsius.
When they arrived here, there were only these people from the six gates who followed Qin Ze, and the number was only about a hundred, of course, most of them were the people from the Emperor Palace who stayed in the stronghold.
The appearance of the old woman can be regarded as completely suppressing all the people of the Six Sects, whether it is the Immortal Sect or the people of the Ghost God Sect who have trekked from the Western Regions, they are all polite in front of the old woman. And this also saved Qin Ze a lot of trouble.
Qin Ze took out a large number of black sunglasses from the boat and handed them to Impermanence, asking her to take them and distribute them to the others. If a person stares at the snow for a long time, he will become snow blind, and then the whole person will become like a blind person.
Especially in June, when the Arctic polar day range is at its highest, sunglasses are even more important.
According to the Moyu, the location of the Emperor Immortal Domain is located in a place near the North Pole. This also meant that in the next few months, Qin Ze's world would first be two months of daylight, and then endless darkness......
Moreover, the temperature in the Arctic will drop suddenly after more than two months, and it will be impossible for this place to be so calm at that time, so Qin Ze and the others must find the Emperor Immortal Domain within two months, and then stay there until the spring of the following year.
Walking in the snow is a very difficult thing, but these are still difficult for Qin Ze. In this land where there is almost no grass, human beings will always be able to live here with their tenacity.
The Inuit are one such amazing people, and one of the most resilient things about this people is their ability to survive in the bitter Arctic. It's not difficult to find them, but there are some problems with communication.
These people are probably the first time to see a human in a strange costume like Datang, so the first time they did not run away, but stood aside and observed with interest.
In later generations, they were almost wiped out because of this.
But fortunately, Qin Ze didn't come to plunder them, after taking out a large amount of canned food, Qin Ze exchanged a large number of sled dogs from them. When he saw this thing, Qin Ze also felt endless emotion.
Alaskan Malamutes are almost no different from wolves, so when Impermanence sees this thing, they unconsciously hold their weapons. Fortunately, this thing is extremely docile, otherwise it might have made a joke.
There were about five or six hundred Inuit in the village, and their chief was an old man dressed in a wolf's skin. Qin Ze pointed at the sled dog, and then took out the can from behind him.
Where had these isolated people seen this thing, so when Qin Ze opened a can of oranges and handed it to the village chief, the other party didn't even know how to put it down.
Ten cans of canned food for a sled dog, Qin Ze exchanged it for more than fifty sled dogs at one time. With these sled dogs, Qin Ze's movement was much more convenient. The goods they carried with them could be pulled by these sled dogs, and Qin Ze and the others followed behind the sled dogs on their own sleds. Ready for all this, Qin Ze and they are also heading towards the North Pole.
From now on, Qin Ze had to be doubly careful, not because of fierce beasts like polar bears, after all, after having so many sled dogs, polar bears were not so dangerous to them. What Qin Ze really had to be careful about was their route, and the stronghold established by the Emperor Emperor Palace was the distribution of threads. And this also means that if Qin Ze takes a wrong step, the result may be devastating.
The wind kept blowing into Qin Ze's neckline, making him tremble uncontrollably. After five days of marching, they finally reached their first stronghold. There was a large amount of fierce fire oil stored here, and Qin Ze was finally able to eat a hot meal.
At this time, there is no need to think about what it tastes like. All of them are extremely fatty mutton and boiled meat, boiled in hot water and then added with some seasonings, it is already a delicacy in the world, in fact, as long as it is hot water at this time, it is a delicacy in the world.
Qin Ze leaned on the igloo and drank a bowl of broth in his hand, but Ruoliu on the other side came in for some reason. This woman is also tragic enough to say, not only did she not protect the royal family she was attached to, but she also completely smashed her own Immortal Sect. And now in the team, it seems a little out of place.
"Does Gongzi Qin know that the Immortal Sect is no longer there now?" Wakaliu was holding a bowl of broth, but her face was calm when she said this.
Qin Ze glanced up at her, then lowered his head to himself and said, "Got it." ”
"My mother-in-law said that the so-called six gates are just a trap set by the guide, and I didn't believe it at first, but since I entered this far north, I have become more and more convinced."
Ruoliu's tone was full of a sour and rotten atmosphere, but how did she know that it was not him Qin Ze who set up this bureau at all. Whether it is the so-called Liumen or Qin Ze himself, they are just other people's pawns. Thinking of this, Qin Ze also smiled bitterly, shook his head, looked at Ruoliu and said, "Actually, we are all people who are being used. ”
"So my mother-in-law is not wrong?" Wakayanagi's expression returned to calm, but there was a deep helplessness hidden under this seemingly calm expression.
"Well, take one step at a time." After Qin Ze drank the last sip of broth, he also stretched comfortably, and then lay on his side on his impermanent legs.
When he came out, Wang Yuxi looked at Qin Ze and Wuchang and gritted his teeth, and thinking about that jealous appearance made Qin Ze feel funny in his heart.
Ruoliu on the side saw that Qin Ze ignored him, but instead curled up in impermanence's arms, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he didn't know what to think, he actually leaned on his leg by learning Qin Ze's movements, and then tilted his head and said to Qin Ze with a pitiful look: "The Immortal Sect no longer exists, Ruoliu is now homeless, I don't know if Qin Gongzi can take in the slave family." ”
"Tut-tut......" Qin Ze glanced at Ruoliu, and then looked at impermanence and laughed.
Without Qin Ze's move, Impermanence had already directly attacked Ruoliu with a long sword, so frightened that the other party also jumped up directly, and then looked at Qin Ze and Impermanence viciously, but in the end, he could only leave a sentence of adulterer**, and then turned around and left the igloo.
The igloo doesn't have much space, and it can't accommodate her in the first place, so why should she be bored.
Impermanence smiled and put away the long sword, then reached out and grabbed Qin Ze's ear and said with a smile: "What's so exciting?" ”
Qin Ze stretched out his hand and grabbed Impermanence's hand, and then said with a wicked smile: "It's moving, it's just that I'm tempted by you." ”
"Not serious." Impermanence gently twisted Qin Ze's ears, and also scolded with a smile.
"When this matter is over, you can go back to Chang'an with me. You see, I have a lot of money now, and it is definitely not a problem to feed you all your life. Qin Ze looked at the impermanence and delicate pretty face and smiled.
From the first time he saw the ups and downs along the way, Qin Ze has always put impermanence in his heart. When they find the Emperor Immortal Domain this time, then the Six Gates will have no value in existence, so Qin Ze still hopes to be able to stay with Impermanence for the rest of his life.
This is a very jerky promise, because Qin Ze said this to all four women. But it is undeniable that impermanence is definitely the first.
"You want to be beautiful, in case I am really a man, and when the time comes to hand over the divine stone, what do I think you will do?" Impermanence covered his mouth, and his eyes were already smiling into crescent moons.
Qin Ze looked Impermanence up and down in a daze, and then beckoned Impermanence to lower his head, and then whispered in her ear: "In fact, in addition to men and women in this world, there is also a kind of human ......"
Sleeping in the ice and snow was not an easy task, so Qin Ze also cherished this opportunity.
There is impermanence in their charge, and polar bears and anything is no longer a problem. Even Qin Ze had the opportunity to skin two polar bears and then make himself an overcoat.
The further you go inside, the cooler it gets, and because of the snow, it's hard to find markings on the ground. Therefore, Qin Ze could only be more careful, even to the point where he had to think for a moment every step he took.
It's not that Qin Ze hasn't asked for the system, but as long as it's this kind of thing that is not life-threatening, he won't open his mouth at all, so in the end, it still depends on Qin Ze himself.
Of the 100 or so people who walked here, only about 60 remained, and a large number of them accidentally fell into the ice. There is no way to save these Qin Ze, even Mo Xuan is powerless. Others are unable to adapt to the cold weather, and their whole body is swollen, and finally they die of ulceration.
However, the heavens have already treated Qin Ze and them well, and since they entered the North Pole, except for three small snowstorms, there have been no other big crises.
It's just that today the situation suddenly changed, and the sky began to drift with snowflakes, and the small pieces were not too big, but after an hour, it completely turned into goose feather snow.
As soon as the snow fell, Qin Ze and the others couldn't move at all. In this kind of snowy weather, if you lose your way in rushing forward, the result can be devastating.
There was no way, Qin Ze and the others had to start camping on the spot.
It's still easy to build a house in the snow, first dig a snow pit in a leeward area, and then use the snow on the ground to build snow bricks.
The sled can be disassembled to form a rectangular box, in which the snow is put in, and then compacted vigorously to create pieces of snow bricks, which is the most convenient material for building an igloo.
The spherical igloo is always safest in the snow, just as eggs are not easily crushed, and the rounded outer walls ensure that the igloo can withstand the weight of the snow.
And after so many days of training, Qin Ze can now build a snow house in only half an hour, and finally start a fire in it. Don't worry about melting the igloo, it's not enough to be in the heat.
